FEEDING BREEDING EWES
EXCESSIVE FATNrSS UNFAvoR.
ABLE TO REPRODUCTION.
r. 3. Mumford, Dean Of College Of
Agriculture, University Of
Missouri.

There are certain fundamental prin.
clples which govern the care and
handling o; all breeding animals. II
IL a mistaken idea that sparse feed.
ing Is favorable TO reproduction. 1t
IL, however, true that Il method OF
feeding which induces excessive fat.
ness is unfavorable TO reproduction.
A fun and generous supply of food
throughout the year Is the best posi-
BILE practice for handling the breed

Another point that Is often over.
looked in the handling Of the eve
flock is the need for exercise. 1nis
Is particularly true in winter II Is
In the highest degree unwise to take
a flock from summer pasture, where
they have enjoyed unlimited freedom
and constant exercise. and shut them
in a small yard and keep them there
the entire winter. The eve flock
should be insured a constant and reg.
ular amount OF exercise throughout
the year.
Under ordinary conditions there IL
no need OF feeding grain to breeding
ewes in summer. The sheep is one
OF the most successful and persistent
grazing animals on the farm They
will eat much larger number OF
plants than either horses or cattle,
and are more useful in clearing pas.

Ewes are ordinarily bred in the fall,
and at this time the pastures are FIRE.

suffer for generous supply Of good
food. It Is always desirable, before
mating. to give the eve flock n gen.

two weeks before turning in the ram
II possible turn the ewes on fresh
pasture II is also good idea to
feed them heavily with grain during

"nushiur" by the English shepherds

wasted none of his drink, but drained
each glass as soon as it was set before
him, leaning between whiles with

reason to be afraid of Carucci and had
employed this fellow as a sort OF body

rucci was getting very drunk; he was
commencing to wave his arms about,
and now and then the splutter of his
words reached even my far corner AS
for Reid, he was plainly embarrassed
aid somewhat frightened. His hand
rested beseechingly upon the Italians
arm, and he looked at his burly COM
panion with evident appeal.
The big man grinned, and gave his
order to the waiter with a leer that
ended with thrown-back head and
closed eyes. The waiter CRIME. in his

again at his companion.

Reid drew a roll of bills from his

from the table, crushing the whole into

A GOOD MENTAL TONIC.

AS appearance means so much to the
average woman mentally as well as
socially, the question often arises. rs
she justified in aiding or improving
nature if she sees ft?" Many of our
well-known medical men think that
makeup" is as good a mental tonic
as anyone can take and greatly advise
it's use, especially for the girl who
has some slight personal defect-a scar.
a poo complexion or bloodless lips.
for the knowledge of her defects makes
her shy and oftentimes sulky and mis-
cradle.
We owe it to our friends as we'll as
ourselves to look our best at all times
and the girl who can improve her ap-
pearance without harming herself
should do so. Nothing gives us quite
the self-conidence as to feel we look
we'll.
Actresses are usually m-hearted.
sensible and cheerful. That is because
they make the best of themselves In
face and form. An old saying Is true,
THE face is often a reflex Of the
mind and in a measure 1t is no less
true that the mind is a reflex Of the
face.
