The Care of Lambs.

At eight to ten days of age lambs
will begin to eat. At that time a
creep should be built which will give
them access TO a feed box containing
grain and q trough with hay. Box,
trough and feed should always be kept
sweet and clean.
A good ration for lambs is made as
follows: Mix one-third part of oilmeal
with one part each of bran, oats and
fine cornmeal. Red alfalfa hay or the
second cutting of alfalfa hay is the
most desirable form of roughage. OF
the two alfalfa is to be much pre-.
ferred
1t is a good idea to keep up the
grain feed right along until the lambs
are sent to market. By so doing the
lambs are kept fat all the time and
are ready to be turned into cash on
short notice should the market take
sudden rise.

implying that the person mentioned
had been heard from before.
''Weli." replied the matron, with an
aggrieved look and an injured air, mo

asked with quick interest.
"Yes, replied Adelaide Gillespie,
''and when he was captured by the

his escape and got him away on a

Well soon be there | know he'll be
glad to see you as you also are sol

Presently they turned into the
grounds of magnificent estate. There
were miles and miles Of beautiful
roadways; there were dense shady
woods and game preserves; there were
gardens and acres of flowers. Then
there appeared through the opening in
the trees a broad stretch of velvety
lawn, with just enough of great elms
and oaks set here and there to afford
pleasant shade for the gray stone RAM
bling mansion that nestled among
them. There were more flowers close
to the house and bright awnings at the
windows. j.
AIr. Prentice thought he had never
seen anything so wonderful in the way
Of a private estate. The house was

1t was expected that the case would
go to the jury today. At no time up
until this case was called had there
generally been the slightest thought
of it's Importance, and only during the
past two days has interest become
manifest. This was caused by the
state introducing expert medical testi-
mony from Lincoln and this vicinity,
as we'll as the defendant. The greater
part of yesterday was occupied by
nearly all of the leading physicians
and surgeons OF Antelope county being
summoned as witnesses for the de.
Tense.
