First Rock to Talk.

In New street, Horsham, England.
says writer in the May Strand, there
Is to be seen the very exceptional and
interesting spectacle of talking rock.
The bird is the property of two school
children, little girl and boy, who
caught 1t five years ago, when it was
quite baby, in local rookery. 1t is
OF the gentler sex, and occupies a
small pen in tiny back garden. No
attempt has ever been made to teach
the rock to talk, and yet she has a
vocabulary of close upon 100 simple
words. She is often allowed out in
tho garden, for, although she can fly
swiftly and strongly, she can be trust
ed not to make her escape. It is said
that this is the first instance of a rock
developing the power to talk.

WHY MAN ExcELS At GOLF
Woman Lacks the Active Physical
Training Which Her Brother
Gets In Boyhood.

If you were asked why men play
better golf than women your answer
probably would be: because men are
stronger than women. And that
would be the truth, but only part Of 1t.
Possibly the difference In the effec-
tiveness OF the woman's and the mans
game can, as some people claim, be
traced directly to the length of the
shot, but the more one investigates
the more he is led to qualify this con-
clusion. 1t becomes, on the whole,
less reasonable to credit solely to
muscular advantage the eight to nine
strokes which, roughly, measure the
handicap due from man to woman.
In other words, II man and a wom-
an should happen to have an equal
supply of strength and endurance, 1t
seems that the man would turn out to
be the better golfer That Is the ques-
ton.
In the first place, men have far
greater game experience. They begin
to play bat and ball games at an ear
Her age and thereby develop more
thoroughly the feel" Of clubs and the
fine eye that is necessary for success
in such games. There are all sorts
of games that boys amuse themselves
with from their earliest youth which
give them eye. And when they take
a golf club in their hands for the first
time the essential act Of concentrating
their vision on the object to be struck
is not a novelty. 1t Is second nature.
With girl 1t is different She has
not daily played games that developed
her eye, such as marbles, scrub,
hockey, snowballing and target prac-
tice, games that are the constant avo-
cations Of bipeds who practice the
profession of being boys. And yet one
of the greatest of women golfers as
sures me that women have shown in
tournaments more concentration of
the eye than men and that only last
fall this fact was proved. It appears
that computation was made both at
the mems championship and the wom-
ems which proved that the women
missed their drives less often than the
men.-Charles Alden Settler in the
Outing Magazine.

(By J. M. BELL.)

By j. M. BELL.)
The chief losses to the flock during
the lambing season are from cold and
exposure and from lack of milk. The
first cause can be remedied by proper
shelter and the latter by adequate and
nutritious food for the ewes at this
critical season.
1t may safely be estimated that from
35 to 40 per cent. of the loss of lambs
occurs from the above causes. To
remedy them to a great extent is in
the reach of the sheepman.
Regarding the question of proper
shelter, the farmer must have his
built on high, well-drained land; must
have it we'll protected on the north
east and west, and must be particular
to give his flock sufficient room for
a damp, over-crowded shelter is al
most, or just as bad, as none at all,
and the losses of lambs will be nearly
housed. but left to shift for them
selves.
Where sheep are crowded in this
way the ewes will drop their lambs
outside of the shelter, and when this
occurs in Geld weather the little fell
lows die of cold and exposure before
they are strong enough to suck.
Too many have the idea that the
wool Of the sheep provides all the
protection needed. In reality sheep
are about the most tender of the vari-
Gus kinds of stock, and were it not
for the liberal protection provided by
Nature more protection would be nee
essary than for any other stock; hence
the ewes should have comfortable
Quarters-warm, but not too close
and literally supplied with clean, dry
bedding to prevent dampness and to
insure cleanliness.
Confine the sheep every night, es-
pecially If the weather is disagreeable,
and when the lambs begin to arrive
keep the ewes that have dropped
lambs separate from the flock.
Build dog-proof fence around the
sheep yard, and under the shed parti-
ton off a place for the young lambs
to go in. Have trough for them
and by the time they are two weeks
old they will eat cracked corn and
oats.
This feeding will hasten rapid
growth and at the same time will
make them more Independent of their
dams. Good feeding troughs should
also be provided for the ewes.

DAIRY PLANS OF
DANISH FARMER
Great Aim Is to Keep Largest
Number of Efficient Cows
Possible on a Given
Area.

The aim of the Danish farmer is to
Keep the largest number of efficient
cows possible on given area, a COW
to 2R acres or less. Enough young
stock is raised to keep the herd sun
piled with cows.
From their feeding of oil cake and
meal and the stall feeding of green
crops, an immense amount of manure
of fine quality is made, and with their
careful methods of outstanding the SOL
ids in a covered manure pit and the
liquids in a cis.ern, and applying in
small quantities at frequent intervals
during the rotation, the producing DOW
er of their land is increasing from
year to year.
The price of cows is from $50 to
$50. Only the best heifers are raised
and with the record of the dam and
the quality of the sire known, their
selection is comparatively simple.
The soiling crops used are rye. oats
and peas, oats and vetch and clover
and grass. These are hauled to the
barn and fed green, or pastured off bv
lettering the COWS along the edge.
In the cool European countries the
soiling season OF the crop is much
longer The COWS are seldom turned
to pasture in Denmark, but tethered
by means of a halter on the head and
rope or chain twelve to twenty feet
long, which Is attached to a ten.incb
pin driven into the ground.
Water is hauled twice a day to the
tAthered cows. Many small da,rvmon

Just Like the Bible.

Niles, who is 10 years old, has a
weakness for attending the circus, and
he willingly goes to church with his
mother when the circus season ap-
proaches and doesn't hesitate to point
to his Sabbath rectitude as one of the
reasons why he should be permitted to
go to the circus.
When the circus came this week he
fled his regular petition for permits
sion to attend.
"You have seen the circus three
times, Miles," said his mother, "and I
don't believe you need to see it again"

take the cows to the stable to be
MIXED three times a day
The COWS are moved five times a
day from three to six feet depending
upon the amount of feed.
Thus the crops are grazed of even
when two or three feet high without
waste from tramping. This is the
Danes chief point of economy in the
summer feed
Practically no grain is fed while the
COWS are on grass. A few dairymen
feed a little oil cake to their best
mixers.
They are stabbed all winter, fed all
the straw they will eat and on the av-
erage of four pounds of hay, 40 to 100
pounds of roots and about six pounds
OF grain per day, consisting of oil
cake, bran, barley and oats.
An even flow of milk is required the
year around and most of the cows
freshen from September to May.
