Selecting Head of the Flock.

In selecting a ram two classes of
breeding should be ayoided-the com.
mon scrub, that has no good charac-
teristics to fix, and the pure bred
scrub" without individuality, whose
purity Of breeding only gives him
greater power to work ruin in the
flock. Good individuality, backed by
several generations of good ancestry,
will insure prepotency with almost I'M
failing certainty where the ewes are
suitable and management correct.
Great attention should be paid to the
rams general contour. His structure
should be firm and massive, with a
broad, spacious breast, no disprOp0r-
Tomato length of legs and well formed
and fully developed quarters. especi-
ally the hind quarters. His lOin should
be stout and well knit, his features
bold, and muscular neck is desirable.
A bold and courageous eye and car
rage are Indicative of spirit and vigor
His head should be long, but rather
small and well nodded.

The New Sleeves.

1t is the popularity of the fchu
which is responsible for the new
shoulder line or, rather, armhole that
no one likes and yet which every one
is evidently going to wear. 1t is the
ugliest kind and comes with bad grace
after the graceful peasant sleeve, with
its charming simplicity.
The shoulder line runs down over
the arm for three inches, and the
sleeve is gathered there into an arm
hole that is ungainly in its size even
If nothing else made it ugly. 1t is
said to be difficult to fit.
Even the lingerie waists have long
sleeves, perceptibly larger than for
years, and are gathered into a tight
fitting cuff at the S-rist and finished
with a two inch plated ruff1e of lace
or lace edged material.

the Dry Goods Economist. While this
form of finishing was brought out last
season it was not featured to any eX-
tent, but there is now a larger showing
of rufles edged with fringe.
Messaline, satin and taffeta skirts
show the flounces trimmed with bands
Of contrasting colors. In some in
stances they are arranged in pointed
fashion, but the more popular style is
the band arrangement. Colored inserts
in V, square and diamond shapes, ap-
piled to the wide flounees, give bright
touch of color to the dark shade of the
garment
Petticoats in pastel shades and white
show wide lace flounces, in some cases
extending almost to the knees. By
way of variety the white satin skirt
with this filmy ruffie has a colored lin

Is made of soft china silk and but

Feed For the Youno Heifer.

When heifers have reached an age
when they will thrive without milk
they should have the best hay that the
farm affords and some form Of sue
culent food. such as ensilage or roots.
Oats are the best grain food to use as
a part ration in feeding young heifers
from the time they are taken from the
skimmilk ration until they are to be
bred. There is no other grain food
superior to ground oats for developing
the organs of maternity of young
breeding animals or to promote their
breeding qualities.

Humus In Orchard Soil.

The humus loosens the soil particles,
which in turn increase its water ca
pacity. The humus is essential for the
growth of the beneficial bacteria Of the
soil. One of the most important parts
that clover plays is its ability to
change chemically the compounds of
the soil and put them In an available
form for the trees. The cover crop
gathers, digests and turns over to the
trees the plant food which it has
stored.

Selection of Heifers.

Two things should be taken into con-
sideration in selecting the heifers which
are to become the dairy cows when
they grow up-first, the individuality
Of the calf and, second, its parentage.
Occasionally good calf comes from
inferior parentage. but the instances
are rare indeed. 1t is generally safe
to reject all offspring from scrub stock.

CRUSHED OATS AS
A FEED FOR HORSES
Under Normal Conditions the
Whole Grain Is Better.

There are many who contend that
chopped oats are better for horses
than whole oats. If horses mOlar
teeth are in good condition whole oats
are preferable to chop. The horses
mOlars possess great grinding power,
and If required to chew his feed and
not bolt it the horse will digest the
grain much better. 1t is only when
a horses teeth are defective owing to
old age or to some other cause that 1t
may experience some difficulty in deal
ing properly with whole oats, and In
that case it is advisable If not abs0-
lutely necessary to crush the oats.
In the case Of young horses under
four or five years old teething trou-
bles sometimes temporarily interfere
slightly with their powers of masti-
cation. and when this is so 1t Is expe-
dent and desirable to feed the oats in
a crushed state.
To sum up the whole subject, feed
ing of crushed oats instead Of whole
ones to horses is not to be recon-
mended and is inadvisable under Or
binary conditions. The only cases In
which it is advisable or necessary are.
first. when horses powers of masti-
cation are impaired or deficient, so
that it cannot properly chew the whole
oats: second. when a horse is greedy
feeder and in the habit of boiling un-
chewed oats and. third, when shy
feeder or bad one evinces a Partially
for crushed oats. preferring them to
whole ones.
Oats fed to foals should be given in
q crushed state. Although foals can
eat whole oats and soon learn to do so.
yet the latter are hardly suitable for
them, being too hard, seeing that the
masticating power Of a foal Is unde-
veloped and comparatively small.

The writer's family has during the
past two weeks greatly enjoyed the
companionship of a couple of little
grosbeaks that were rudely shaken
from their nest on swaying elm limb
by boisterous northwest wind For
awhile the little fellows were kept in
the house nights and put out during
the day, when the parent birds fed
them. In way of proof that the gros-
beak is a real help to the gardener we
noticed that the chief bill of fare
which was served these half grown
birds was the soft potato bugs, or lar
vac. many dozens of which were stuff
ed into the red mouths Of the hungry
little ones in the course Of a day. AS
substitute for the potato bugs we
have found that small pieces Of earth
worms and bits of bread soaked in
milk were eaten greedily and seemed
to agree with the birds.
