(By WALTER b. LEUTZ)
Most men who now raise sheep and
those who are about to make a start
want breed that will produce both
good mutton and good wool-a rather
difficult combination.
There are some breeds, however,
that produce both, but like the dual
COW they are not in favor with the
men who believe that one must breed
for milk and butter, or for beef, and
not for all.
The following breeds of sheep are
probably better fitted by nature and
improvement to produce wool and
mutton:
The Shropshires are much thought
of throughout the west. The ewes
weigh from 125 to $50 pounds, are
very early maturing, producing very
excellent carcasses, and shearing
from to 10 pounds per head.
The Hampshires are large sheep,
not quite so early maturing, but pro-
ducing very large lambs at an early
age. They shear approximately the
same as Shropshires.
The Oxford are very similar to the
Hampshires in size and character
The Southdown is particularly a
mutton breed, producing a fleece
somewhat lighter than the breeds
mentioned above, but nevertheless
producing a good fleece and most
excellent carcass of mutton.

country roads and finding, at frequent
intervals, large groups of gypsies
camped by the wayside. have naturally
come TO have a new realization of
what numerous element of our ropu-
iation these nomads now constitute.
ne average person, encOuntering
american gypsies in a casual way, OBJ
serves no differences or distinctions
between the various bands and yet, as
matter OF fact, there are among the
homanleS as many and as sharply
defined classes of society as IN any
other division of Our population. AS
In other sections of our cosmopolitan
national community, too we find some
of these nomads who are virtually out
casts among their own people, or at
least with whom the aristocrats of the
wanderers will not associate
1t is by no means strange, however
II the citizen beyond the pale of gypsy-
dom fails to perceive these minute dis
tinctions. for the gypsies are a mystic
rious and secretive people, and for all
that they seem TO live so much in the
public eye they in reality let the out
side world know precious little re-
garding them. The suspicious of the
rest of the world directed against them
for centuries have made the gypsies
wary of strangers, for all that they
need the money to be obtained in bar
ter or fortune telling-and it is prac-
tically impossible for "gorgio" (any
one not OF the gypsy clam to really
penetrate the reserve of these peo-
pie. Their exclusiveness is rendered
the more easy from the fact that they
speak a strange tongue-an aptly
termed black language" which is al
most never taught TO an outsider.

MILK CART THAT rs CURIOUS
Device Resembles Life-Sized Cow IN
Which Product Is Stored and Kept
at Right Temperature.

A curious idea for milk carts Is con-
tanned in a patent, applied for in 1898,
says the Popular Mechanics, Just
what 1t is intended for is told by the
inventor himself: MY invention is a
pew and useful improvement in milk
refrigerators and delivery apparatus,
and has for its object the provision OF
a device that resembles a life-sized
COW, in which milk may be stored
and kept at a proper temperature,
and from which It may be drawn as
occasion requires after the n of
milking a COW. Within the body are
receptacles or compartments, each of
which is provided with a W. and
adapted to contain the desired guam
tity of milk. BY the use Of two re-
ceptacles two qualities of milk may
be stored at the same time, such as
sweet milk and buttermilk. In the
bottom of each Of the r~eceptacles is
located a valve having a spring for
normally holding 1t in place, so as to
prevent the downflowing of the milk.
Each of the teats has a toggle-leVer

NOT MERE MILKING MACHINE
story of Man Who Sought to Make
Fortune In Dairy Business-Start-
ed With Nondeseript Cows.
(By r. B. BUcKHAM.)

Among my acquaintance there Is
numbered a man who recently de-
cided to make a trial of furnishing
milk for the local market. Having
ventured into several other branches
of agriculture without having achieved
any great success at any n Of them,
he determined to attempt this; make
one more play for favor at the hands
Of Dame Fortune.
For a start, he purchased half a
dozen cows of nondescript extraction,
and set himself up In the business OF
a milk farmer. His idea seemed TO be
that all he had to do was to feed a
little grain and hay to these animals,
night and morning, and in return re-
ceive an abundant supply of milk. the
equivalent Of ten times and more, in
value.
But before he had been at II long
he found that he had made a mistake
In his calculations, somewhere. The
account was running against him, In
stead Of in his favor. He was play
Ing a losing game, once more!
What was the trouble? Simply
this, that he had misjudged animal
nature, in one respect, at least. There
is no such thing as a milk machine,
patented or u~npatented, into which
you can pass hay or grain at one end
at your pleasure, and pull a valve
and draw off milk from another, to
your fancy. At any rate, a cheap,
scrubby cow is not such a machine, and
cannot be made over into one. These
six cows turned out to be just ordi-
nary, barren quantity mixers, a bur-
den and expense upon any man who
assumed their are and keep. And
now they are for sale, away below
what he paid for them, but are .
poor bargain at that

BETTER TEETH
FEWER DENTISTS BILLS

Your teeth decay because particles
of food get into crevices between and
around the teeth and create germs
OF decay. Ordinary tooth powders
and washes are entirely inadequate
TO prevent 1t.
Try Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic, a de-
1~icious, harmless germicide. Just a
little In a glass Of water, and rinse the
mouth and brush the teeth thoroughly.
It will whiten the teeth, prevent
and remove tartar, destroy all germs
of decay and save you dentists bills.
Paxtine thoroughly cleanses, de-
odorizes and keeps pure and odorless
false teeth and bridgework. Paxtine
is far superior to liquid a~ntiseptics

Dry cows and poor cows are two
snags that dairymen should steer
clear Of.
Breed your favorite breed in a man
ner that will conform TO all of your
requirements.
Successful d~airying Ia like riding a
wheel, II you don't keep moving you
will fall of.
No dairyman afford to grow tim
othy hay on land that will yield good
crops of clover.
Let every COW stand on her own
individual merit and not live on the
profits from her sister.
The dairy cows are our best friends
and the farm without them Is on the
road to impoverishment.
Cleanliness in the dairy business is
more a matter Of inspiration than edu-
cation In sanitary methods.
Individual excellence is the only
safe guide TO follow In selecting q
herd OF profitable dairy cows.
In figuring up the profits from the
cows the past year don't neglect to
count In the produced.
M~oistening the hands either with
milk or water before milking Is only
a habit. and not a good one at that.
It Is mistaken economy to put of
feeding grain and supplemental for
age crops until everything In the pas
ture IL consumed.
The true vClue Of the COW depends
not on herself alone. but on the feed
ing, shelter and functional action of
the organs of nutrition.
Any dairy COW OF any breed should
give her own weight in milk each
month for at least six months, and an
extra good COW will do better.
The grade cows are the basis on
which the dairy business rests at the
present time and they are the cows
that we shall continue to do business
with owing to their greater numbers
and less cost.

There is very little difference IN the
amount OF butter fat that is produced
on the average by various breeds.
There is a great deal more difference
between the individuals OF a breed
than between the breeds. Good cows
are found in every breed. And poor
cows are found in every breed. A
good Holstein is better than q poor
Jersey, and a good Jersey Is better
than a poor Holstein. The selection
OF a breed, then. is not Of SO much
importance as the selection Of the H.
d~ividuals within the bred.

How He Axerted a Duel.

The following Is told Of former
Senator Joe Blackburn of Kentucky:
In the days of his youth the Ken
tuckian was asked by a friend to sec
ond him In a duel. He consented
and at sunrise the parties met at the
appointed place. Now, 1t was this
Kentuckian's duty to say the last
words touching the terms OF the duel
But, although he faithfully performed
this duty, the duel never took place
A murmur of why not?" invari
ably goes around whenever this story
Is told, w~hereupon the answer is as
follows:
For the very simple reason. When
Joe finished speaking 1t was too dari
