HE'S THE ORIGINAL CROUCH |
Surely Would Be Hard to Please Old
Gentleman With This Kind of
Disposition.

There is in Washington an old
Crouch" whose son was graduated
from Yale. When the young man came
home at the end of first term, he
eNulted in the fact that he stood next
TO the head of his class. But the old
gentleman was not satisfied.
Next to the head!' he exclaimed
What do you mean? I'd like to know
what you think I'm sending you to COL
lege for? Next to the head! Why
aren't you at the head, where you
ought to be?'
At this the son was much crestfal-
len; but upon his return, he went
about his work with such ambition
that at the end of the term he found
himself in the coveted place. When
he Went home that year he felt very
proud. 1t would be great news for the
old man.
When the announcement was made
the father contemplated his son for a
few minutes in silence; then, with 9
shrug, he remarked:
AT the head of the class, Ell? Well

CLOVER HAY AS HORSE FOOD
Tendency to Produce AiIment Known
as "Heaves" Renders That Valu-
able Feed Unpopular.

The well-known tendency of clover
hay when fed to horses to produce in
them the ailnaent known as "heaves."
renders that valuable stock food un-
popular with those who do not know
it's nutritive constituents.
The trouble is the horse is given
all it will eat, thus overlooking the
stomach with very rich food which
crowds it's lungs and prevents their
free action. Well-cured clover hay In
right amount is not likely TO give
trouble, and less grain will be needed
than when almost any other kind OF
roughness is fed
Some authorities claim that one
pound of hay and one of grain per
day for each 100 pounds weight of the
horse is about right for ordinary Work,
and for hard work increase the grain
accordingly.

HE HAD THEM IN A CORNER
clergyman's Rebuke to Thouehtless
Youths at Once Neat and
Disconcertine.

A well-kuown clergyman was one
day in q BARRIERS shop, when four or
five young men walked in whom he
knew by their voices, but who did not
recognize the man in the chair, with
lather all over his face. They pro-
ceeded to spend the time by telling
stories and using expressions which,
to say the least. were rather strong
When the barber pulled away the
towel the clergyman, clearly shaved,
stood before them. So nonplussed
were they that no one tried to take
the vacant chair, and the barber called
several timcs-"NeXt gentleman! Next
geptleman!'
The clergyman smiled somewhat
grimly as he said
ut isn't a bit Of use, John. There's
not man here who has the effront-
cry to answer to that name"

KEEP HOGS FREE FROM LICE
Common Cause of Thriftlessness in
Young Pigs and Tends TO Retard
Fattening in Adults.
(By r. G. wEATHERsroNE.,

(By r. G. wEATHERsTONE}
The hog louise is common cause
of thriftlessness in young pigs and
when numerous, tends to retard fat
tening in adult hogs and injuriously
affects brood sows and bears. 1t is
advisable and profitable to keep
swine free from lice at all ages and
stages of their existence and devel-
opment SO far as possible. To this
end their houses, pens and sleeping
places should frequently be cleaned
and disinfected, the woodwork white
washed, the bedding material kept
fresh, clean and dry and the yards
free from accommodations of litter and
filth. 1t is impossible to keep hogs
free from lice without maintaining
sanitary conditions in their quarters
and in attempting to rid them OF
these pests the treatment must in
clude not only the hogs, but prac-
tically everything with which they
come in contact daily.
To disinfect recently purchased
hogs, that possibly may carry dis
ease germs or vermin into the herd,
wash them in warm per cent solu-
ton of coal tar dip and repeat the
treatment in 10 days or two weeks;
or apply the solution freely with a
spray pump and rub it in with a
brush. The addition of flowers of
sulphur at the rate of 161A pounds to
each 100 gallons of dip mixture rem

such combination solution should
be freely used for all forms of mango
or chronic disease of the skin in
hogs.
To destroy lice mixture of equal
parts of kerosene and machine oil,
or one part of turpentine and two
parts of machine Oil, should be ap-

| TRAP sHEEP-KlLLING DOGS
Small Pen Arranged in Meadow or
Field to Capture Destructive
Animals-How 1t Is Built.

In a meadow or field a small pen
eight feet square is made and fenced
strongly with pickets or boards. This
pen is divided into two parts Ga, By
by a cross fence. The pen is wholly
covered over on the top with strong
lath. Two gates &c, d. are made so
that they will swing open of their own
accord and remain so, unless held
closed or fastened. The gate (c) is
furnished with latch, by which it is
fastened when closed. This gate is
intended to admit the dog into the
part of the pen (a) when he is at
tracted to it by sheep confined for
the purpose in the other part of the

Repeat the application in 10 days. AS

pen OBJ. In the part of the pen (a) is
heavy board, reaching across it. One
edge of the board rests upon the
ground against two pegs, which keep
it from slipping backwards. The other
edge is kept up by means of two
shaky slender supports. A rope is
fastened to the upper edge of this
board and to the gates, so that one,
half of it, when the board is propped
up, holds the gate (d) shut, and thus
keeps the sheep confined, and the
other half allows the gate (c) to
swing open. The trap IS now set. a
dog seeks to enter the pen. He finds
the open gate and rushes in, over the
board set upon its edge, and knocks
this down. This closes the gate (c),
which is at once latched and fast
ened. The gate (d) is allowed to
swing open and the sheep confined is
liberated and, of course, proceeds
homeward without delay, while the
dog is imprisoned.

Good brood sows are worth more
than the top price Of pork.
1t is seldom that both horses in a
pair require just the same amount of
feed.
1t is Just as necessary to fit col
lar to horse as it is to fit shoe
to the foot.
Sheep should not be pastured on
low meadows when ground is wet, as
it will produce footrot.
Sheep that walk lame should be
examined at once and the proper
remedies applied in time.
The work teams should have
bran mash on Saturday night, as
they have rest on Sunday.
1t is even more essential in sum-
mer than in winter to give attention
to proper facilities for watering the
hogs.
All things considered, swift-run-
ming stream, with solid banks and
bottom, is the best watering place
for hogs.
At the present time there is a
great demand for good heavy draft

Without good feed and manage
ment even the most carefully bred
sheep will not produce good fleeces
It has been found advantageous to
feed the young calves in stanchions
and to keep them fastened there IN
til all desire for nursing has left
them.
1t is possible to overdo the large
hog pasture but when calves or

be kept under control and yet usc6
