nothing feels the effect of this more
than the sheep. Their wool makes
them feel effects of heat more than
any Of our other animals 1t makes
them uncomfortable. One has but to
look at a flock lying painting in the
shade on a hot day to be convinced
of this.
The wool of the lambs being longer
than that of the eve makes them suf-
fer more than does the eve. This
alone would check the growth of the
lamb, but the worst of all is the fact
that with the coming of the summers
heat the ewes flow of milk drops off.
The usual shortage of pasture at this
time is also conducive to this.
With the falling off of the mothers
milk the lamb too often receives
serious backset. What can the poor
little thing do? It's chief support is
gone. 1t turns to the pastures, but
they, too often, are bare of any save
the sparsest vegetation.

IMPORTANCE OF
FARM HORSES
Animals, IN Combina tion WI tn
Modern Machinery, Have to
Great Extent Replaced
Human Labor.
CBy THOMAS p. COOPER.)

At present the horse is practically
the entire motive power of the farm.
In combination with improved farm
machinery, the horse has, to a great
extent, replaced human labor. And
the modern farm depends as much
upon the efficiency of the horse that
is kept to perform the labor as it does
upon the use of the human labor upon
the farm. In fact, the efficiency of
human labor upon the farm, and in
many instances the proper operation
of the farm, depends entirely upon
the farm horse. We may readily I'M
derstand, therefore, that the farm
horse is often the greatest single fac
tor in the success of the farming oper-
atoms 1t is essential, then, that the
farm horse be so cared for, and the
farm so organized, that a maximum
return on the horses labor can be
secured annually.
1t is true that horse owners gener-
ally are not accustomed to look upon
the horses of the farm, or their labor,
as costing anything. The horse has
been considered so much of a neces-
sity, and so much a part of the farm,
that the question Of the cost of the
horse labor to the farm, or of the
methods by which such cost may be
decreased, has been very largely neg
lected. The question of economy of
power on the farm is only brought up
at those times when consideration is
being given to some other form of
motive power than the horse. 1t is a
question. though, that-with increas-
ing cost of feed, of care, and larger
investment in horses-will constantly
become OF greater and greater i'm
portance.
The cost of horse labor depends
upon many conditions that vary on
each farm, so that costs are not SINH
lar on different farms. However, the
items that make up cost are similar
on all farms, and only vary in amount.
It is essential, then, that the farm
operator have an accurate knowledge
of what comprises cost, and what ave
rage costs are, that he may institute
such economies in his management as
seem desirable Carefully-kept rec
ords and accounts with the farm
horse, show that the average cost of
horse labor on the farm is about eight
and one-half cents per hour. The rate
seldom averages less. and generally
runs higher This means that the act
ual cost, on the farm. of horses
labor for a ten-hour day, is IS cents,
or $40 for a team.

IMPORTANCE OF ATTENTION
TO MEMBERS OF SHEEP FLOCK
Extra Care Must Constantly Exercised Hot
Summer Months if Good Condition OF Lambs
Mainta4ned-ShouId
Given Separate Pasture

scantiness of pasture, it too often ends
circles-a poor, dwarfed and runted
| lamb.
Right here is where the sheep
farmer shows whether he is capable
and efficient. If he is, he will attend
to them at once. In fact, the best OF
them anticipate nature a little by
weaving earlier.
If it has not been done before, the
really capable and efficient farmer at
tends to it now. He may be, and often
is, right where his fields need him the
most, but he knows that here is some
thing that will pay him immensely,
He knows that a little brains and
forethought exercised now will take
the place of a lot of work and feed
later on.
The best thing to do is to separate
the ewes and lambs entirely. If pos
sible give the lambs a fresh pasture
on which no sheep have been grazed
for year. This is to avoid the
dreaded stomach worm.
One way that has been found good
is to turn the lambs into q patch Of
rape and allow them to Craze it down.
Some like to let the rape get six or
eight inches high before turning in on
it, but for my part l think it is too
the three or f1ve-inch plant to the
larger and woodier growth.
Often after the rape is eaten, the
meadows have started up afresh so
that the lambs can be turned into
them and allowed to eat the fresh,
tender heritage that springs up with
the first shower.
Sometimes when nothing better is
offered, | have turned the lambs into
the uncut hay. They tramp down
some of it, but they more than pay
for what they destroy. Then, after
the hay is cut, there is always lot Of
good feed on the ground that is just
what will do them good
1t may be that the ruinous crop of
weeds is just starting up. The lambs
will eat these, and with what new
grass starts up will do we'll, to say
nothing of the great good they do as
scavengers in keeping the fence
corners all clean.
If carefully handled during summer
there is no reason why the lamb
should not come on in great shape
and make a great big iusty eve or
wether by Christmas.
/ say eve or wether | wonder if
all come under this classification or
whether, despite all that can be said
and done, there are not a lot of un.
trimmed rams in the sheep pens Of
the corn belt today; but that is an
other story.

CBy ELMER HENDERSON,

Of all the things that should merit
the attention of the farmer at this
time none are more important than
the lambs.

No matter how carefully you care
for the eve during the trying period
of lambing, nor how well you feed her
during the raw, chilly months Of early
spring, if now, during the hot months
you neglect the little ones, all your
work has been in vain. For it is then
that the really trying time comes.

WHY LITTLE STARS TWINKLE
British Scientist Says Phenomena Is
Chiefly Effect Produced in Atmos-
phere on Waves of Light.

Perhaps you remember that in youth
some kindly elder soul took you into
the darkness of some glorious sum-
mer night and pointed out the stars
and planets, telling you glibIy enough
that the unwinking star overhead was
a planet. while that blue one down
there which wrinkles" was a star. The
fact that planets shone only or mainly
with reflected light, while the stars
burned" was supposed to explain the
twinkling, as against the steadfast
radiance. Even this young illusion is
dispelled by a British scientist, who
says:
The twinkling of the stars is chief
ly an effect produced in our atmos.
phere upon the waves of light. 1t is
due to currents and strata of air o:
different densities intermingling ami
floating past each other, through -llch
the light passes to the eye. y is seen
much more in cold than in warm
weather, and near the horizon more
than overhead. The same effect may
be seen by looking out of window
over a hot radiator, or at candle
held on the other side of a hot stove,
so that one must look through a body
of highly heated air at the candle
flame The flame will be seen to
waver and culver. The various layers
Of air are at different densities and in
motion. Rapid twinkling of the stars
is a sign of a change of weather"

ORIGIN OF WEDDING RINGS
According to Ancient Ritual Husband
Began by Placing Band on Thumb
and Next Three Fingers.

According to the ancient ritual in
marriage, the husband began the ring
business by placing it upon the brides
thumb and putting it successfully on
the next two fingers, pronouncing for
each one a person of the Trinity;
with a final amen when the fourth
finger was reached, and there the ring
remained
The Greek church ritual directs that
the ring be placed upon the right
hand. Puritan influence sought to
abolish the ring as a vain and heather
emblem, but the sweet old fashion Of
giving and taking emblem, "for our
loves sake" yet remains to us.
Betrothal or engagement rings vary
in fashion nowadays and always de-
pend, or should, on the purse of the
donor. Where there are no limitations
OF this sort his taste, if it be perfect,
will lead him to choose a diamond
solitaire, and of the best he can af-
ford, small and pure blue-white
stone being altogether preferable to
large stone. Some prefer a ring set
with three stones, generally a sap
phire set between two diamonds. 9th
ers select ruby or an emerald, which
signifies promise of happiness.
Few persons choose pearls for an
engagement ring, as pearls are sup
posed to typify tears. They are also
too perishable to become emblems of
love, which, in it's first glow, at least,
is always understood to be indestruc-
tible. Their beauty is very precarious,
being dimmed or aged" as the lapi-
Diary expresses it, by contact with i'm
pure air, while acid annihilates them
completely.

minds us of LIES great things by

essential, or many thing in Life
that seemed very large when your
friend was living seems very small
when Death puts it's measuring rod
on him. Death reminds us of the
friendships of Life which we had
forgotten and even despised until
Death made us stop and know how
much we loved and were loved.
Death reminds us of LIES real
values. We had thought they were
money and fame and power and
happiness, but Death shows us that
life is really love and friendship,
and kindness and service, and doing
the next right thing, and brother
hood, and God.-Pastor Charles Nj.

PLAYING POLITICS.

The special meeting of congress
now in session, it was universally
understood, was called for the spe-
cific purpose Of passing the Canadian
reciprocity bill. The two branches
might have met and adjourned with,
in week, with the bill passed or
defeated, and the agony would have
been over until the democrats and
insurgents in regular session hashed
up another bill, and a general on
slaught upon the tariff was made,
says the Clinton Mirror.
But that does not seem to be the
aim or intent of the majority. The
democracy are working for low
tariff or free trade as strenuously as
possible; the insurgents in part are
backing them up; and the most of
the genuine republicans seem to be
willing TO sit it out, discuss and de-
lay, and amend or defeat the meas
ure if possible.
And all appear to have in mind
and be governed by the fact that
next year there will be another
presidential and congressional cleo
ton. Every man in congress desires
to so stand on the record that he
may be e-elected-eXcept members
who may hope for promotion to the
senate, and several who aspire to
honors. Thus talk in
congress and through the press to
the people for 1912. The extra ses-
sion of congress is but a subordin-
ate matter; platform from which
they address their districts, states,
and nation. If they cared as much
for the country as they do for them
selves, they would have returned
home weeks ago.
OF course there are exceptions
members who would be glad to have
the stream of talk dried up, vote,
adopt. postpone or kill reciprocity,
but they do not run congress, and
must stay and listen and sweat and
fry during the hot weather.
We hope that those over-ambitious
may be kept at home
so far as possible, after next cam
paign.
