A large part Of the

readiness to accept adj

RAISING Ho1HousE LAMBS.

With Cross Bred Sheep.
For first venture in breeding hot
house lambs we bought ten Dorset
ewes and a buck, writes a Maine farm

these sheep were quite costly, we sup
plemented them with a flock Of Shrop-
shire ewes, crossing these with the
Dorset buck and reserving the eve
lambs for breeders, continuing this
practice until we had a flock Of pure
bred and high grade sheep sufficient
for u wants. We disposed of all the
Shropshire ewes and the half bloods,
as they were not sure enough early
breeders.
To show that it was not oil smooth

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Feeding Laying Hens.

There can be no cast iron rules laid
down for feeding laying hens. Indi-
Hidual hens will often o%verfatten,
while others in the same pen, with
the same food, will remain in proper
condition. The writer uses the follow.
ing method, which he has followed for
thirty years and which has always
proved effective. In the morning q
mash Is given composed Of bran, two
parts; middlings, ground oats, corn.
meal and meat scraps, each one part,
and linseed meal, 8 per cent. Slightly
moisten with water. Give all the green
food they will eat during the day, and
at night feed a mixture Of two parts
whole. wheat, two parts oats and one
part whole corn. The parts In the
mash food are by weight, while the
parts In the grain food are by meas
urement. OF the mash food a large
iron spoonful is allowed for every two
fowls in the pen, and Of the evening
grain food a good handful Is given to
each fowl. The grain food is thrown
among hay, straw or leaves to make
them scratch and exercise. Grit, char
coal and cracked oyster shells are con.
stantly before them.

Straw Hats.

The earliest makers Of straw hats
were unquestionably the Chinese.
Their work was by no means rough
in character, but plated and sewed
together with considerable skill, as
may be seen today in the neighbor-
hood of Canton. In Europe hats
were first made in Paris by a Swiss
90 early as l404, and we find men
toned among the entries Of an
inventory of the effects Of Sir
John Fastolfe, 1859, "four strawen
hattes," showing them to have been
great rarities. Coryatt mentions
them as worn in Provence, with
hundred seams, lined with silver
and curiously worked. Tuscany,
with Leghorn -as the center, took
up the work early in the fifteenth
century and has maintained it with
considerable skill ever since.

Letting Himself Down Easy.

Matt Carpenter, the famous Wis
consin senator, was pleading a case
before the supreme court. Before
he had got half through with his
argument the judges had made up
their minds that his case was with
out merit and, moreover, that he
was unprepared. When he finished
his argument and counsel for the
other side got up. to reply the
Judges whispered to each other,
nodded, and then the chief justice
said, ri don't think it will be neces-
sary to hear from you, sir" Car
penter's opponent was deaf, and he
could only tell that the chief justice
was addressing him. He turned to
Carpenter for cid. "What did the
chief justice soy, Matt?" he whis-
pered. "He said he'd rather give
you the case than listen to you"
Carpenter bawled in his ear.

Livery.

Our word slivery" is derived,
through the French, from the Latin
tliberare," to deliver; hence a livery
originally meant something deliv-
cred or freely given and came to be
applied to an allowance of food or
clothes.
From Norman times an English
nobleman allotted a fixed "livery"
Of bread, wine and candles to his
servants for their private use. An
allowance of provender for a horse
was also called a livery, and a horse
fed and groomed for its owner at a
fixed charge was said to be cat liv-
cry"
In the middle ages tlivery" was
worn by any one who was in any
sense in the service Of another Of
superior rank or station.
The trading companies of tho
city of London used to provide a
special attire for their freemen,
who became known as liverymen, q
title which they still retain.

On the recent trip which the
Missouri Agricultural college
special train made over the state
cards were distributed giving
the following six essentials for
improvements In dairy farming:
Feed your cows literally
enough to allow the good ones
to show up.
Cut out those that do not make
a profit and keep the best. At
least one-third Of the cows in
Missouri are improbable.
Weigh the milk Of each COW
regularly and have 1t tested
monthly, II possible. by the Bah
cock test
Use only a pure bred bull Of a
strictly dairy breed and from the
kind Of COW you wish to raise.
Raise the heifer calves from
the best cows with great care.
Feed your cows silage, clover,
cowpeas or alfalfa hay and one
pound grain to three pounds
milk produced.

An Ancient Lest Of sr..d.

A loaf of bread $500 years old
was found in the tomb of Mentuho-
tep, who died in Egypt $500 B. G.
It is now in the Royal museum Of
Berlin, being one Of the most inter
esting discoveries Of modern times.
This loaf or cake or bread is dark
brown in color. Inside are many
large holes. Probably this part Of
the bread long since fell into dust,
but much of the bread still remains
in the shape of whole kernels and
pieces of grain. Examination proves
that it was made of barley and that
the grains we're only rudely crushed
and not sifted. This proves that

In that record of social customs
in the eighteenth century, "The
Merry Past" Mr.. Ralph H. Neville
makes a good jest of the extreme
formality of the times. Lord Lyt-
Teton was once much piqued by the
remarks of a certain old lady, well
known for her strong prediction
for beauty and athletic form in her
footmen, and in consequence fixed
upon the following method of max
ing her ridiculous:
A friend of his had an Irish serv-
ant of remarkably fine presence,
with a great fund of native humor.
This man Lord Lyttleton borrowed
and instructed to apply to the old
lady, who, as was known, had ad-
vertised for a footman. Her lady,
ship either was or affected to be
troubled by the most delicate and
irritable nerves, which could not
endure the slightest disturbance or
noise.
The new servant, handsomely
dressed and well powdered, present.
ed himself at the lady's door and,
his errand being announced, he was
soon ushered into her salon.
My lady was alone, and after
asking the young man a variety Of
questions, the answers to which
seemed to be satisfactory, she told
him she liked his appearance much
as he stood, but she wished to see
him walk to know whether he did
that gracefully, a main point with
her.
The man walked up and down
the room, the old lady's eyes follow
ing him closely and in evident adj
miration of his six feet of height
and his fine figure.
He was next ordered to turn this
way, then that way, then to make
his bow, then to carry a fan and
book, and, last Of all, to walk the
length of the room again.
Having walked the last time, the
man made Il profound bow and said:
"Your ladyship has examined some,
but not all, of my accomplishments,
which are all equally excellent. You
have seen me walk; now you should
see me trot."
With that he trotted up and
down the room with his utmost Wig
or, until the glasses, china, chairs
and everything else danced.
Then, stopping a moment, the
rascal said, "Now, my lady, you've
seen me trot; I'll next show you
how I can gallop."
This he also performed with his
utmost energy and, running down
stairs, bolted out of the hall door.

Draft Horses.

Draft horses are easy to handle, b.
ing Of quiet disposition, and they can
be fed partly on the coarse roughage
on the farm. The draft horses should
be compactly built, short legged, with
large chest, heart and stomach capac-
ity. The heavy draft horse Of LOO
to 1900 pounds is the best for the
city markets, while those Of lighter
weight should be used on the farm.

Mature Sow Best For Brood Animal.
The mature SOW makes by far the
best brood SOW. 1t would be better If
the gifts were not bred until a year
old. If the practice Of breeding toe
young is continued the vigor and vi.
tally Of the herd will be greatly re.
duceG after a few generations.
If some of the early narrowed spring
gifts are selected out for brood sows,
says Swine Breeder, they should be
separate from the rest Of the pigs at
weaving time so as to be developed
as brood sows and not as market hogs.
