OLD MYSTERY IS SOLVED
Messenger Buried Seven Years in the
Desert Sands, Committed Suicide
by Shooting.

Berlin AFTER having been buried
for seven years in the desert, the
body Of German trooper named Rog-
&c has been found in a shifting sand
dune near Kolmanskop. German
Southwest Africa. The unfortunate
trooper had been sent to convey the
mails from Luderitzbucht to some re-
mote inland station He never ar
rived
His route lay via the Ukama springs,
small oasis, and from notes found in
a pocketbook on the body II appears
that he lost his bearings, owing to
desert mirages. He wandered about
aimlessly for days, without finding his
way
His last note was TO the effect that
he was suffering fearful torments
from thirst, and that he intended TO
blow out his brains before his reason
gave away completely The body
was found with bullet hole in the
temple, and the packet OF letters lay
beside II intact.

KEEPING EWES FLEECE DRY
Highly important That Breeding
Sheep Should Receive Good Shell
ter From Either Rain or Snow.

The protection of breeding ewes
from falling snow is important. es-
pecially is it important when it falls
in the form of rain. Winter rains and
also sleet are always cold. If sheep Of
the open wooded breed are long ex-
posed to these, they may do them
great harm. The closed wooded breeds,
as the merinos, says Thomas Shaw,
will be harmed much less, as the wa
ter cannot readily enter the wool
which they carry. The shelter pro-
vided up to the Landing season may
be of the simplest kind. providing 1t
will protect from storms and wind.
The aim should be to give breeding
ewes large liberty in winter, if the
ground is bare, or even partially, for
it will do them good to give them
large liberty. They will make excur-
5ions into the fields in search of grass
and the exercise will do them much
good. They should be allowed to lie
In a we'll bedGed yard at night, or
In the shed or house adjoining, as
they prefer.

STOCK
TS NOTES

Breed for merit as we'll as pedigree.
1t is very desirable that the eve
lambs exercise daily.
Rock salt for the cattle is prefer
able to the ordinary kind.
Wire and cut worms are numerous
in old meadows and pastures.
Never loosen or throw out any more
silage than you want to feed immedi-
ately.
Just now the heavy steer is a much
sought after article in the live stock
markets.
The colts and unused horses should
spend most of each pleasant day in
the paddock.
The prosperous and most success
full farmer is comfortable only when
his stock is comfortable.
Those who do not have a supply OF
alfalfa on hand will find red clover
to be a satisfactory substitute.
A pleasant, cheerful, fearless dispo-
sition is a valuable quality in a road
ster or a generalpurpose horse.
Dat straw that is free from mold
makes an excellent winter forage for
mules, young cattle and boarding
horses.
Small breeders Of limited means
should aim to raise animals that COM
LINE size, beauty and style with speed
ability. courage and endurance.
The meadows LOOK good for pasture
n the fall and early spring, Uut the
man who keeps his cattle off of them
always gets better crops of hay.
A horse or a colt will thrive better
upon a two-thirds -atiOu Of hay and
one-rhird Of straw than upon full ra,
ton Of hay alone.

RACK AND LOADING DEVICES
Excellent for Handling Cattle, Hogs
or sheep-Height and Length
Can Be Varied.

The following is given in response
to a recent inquiry for plan of a stock
rack, writes F. l.. Marsh in the Farm,
Stock and Home. Figure ! is a side
view OF a rack suitable for handling
cattle. hogs or sheep. The length and
height can be varied for special rea-
son, but is about correct for general
use. The bottom will serve for a
wood rack, by using stronger timber.
A AKA fir at each side and a 2x4 in
the middle is strong enough for stock.
The bottom is boarded crosswise.
The sides are nailed or bolted to
hardwood stakes, fitting into medium
removable.
The end gates are held by cleats
and rods, as in a common wagon box.
The rear end gate is shown in Fig. z.
A similar gate is placed back OF the
low part. The front gate should be
low part, resting on side irons. The
front compartment can be used for
calves, or in case of a full load the
middle gate can be removed.
Fig. 3 shows a loading chute, placed
| to connect with rear end of rack. The
| front end may be mounted on a pair
of old wheels. The height and pitch
should be suited to the height of the
wagon used. The bottom of chute
should be cleated, SO stock will not
| slip, and the chute should be wider
| at real end.
Fig. 4 shows a paddock which can
be set where most convenient, and
after the stock are driven into it can
be moved to the rear end of chute.
