KEEPING EWES FLEECE DR.
Protection Of Breeding Animal From
Snow Is Important-ShouId Be
Given Exercise.
(By PROF. THOMAS sHAw.)

(By PROF.
The protection or 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
exposed to these, they may do them
great harm. The close-wooled breeds,
as the Merinos, will be harmed much
less, as the water cannot readily en-
ter the wool which they carry. The
shelter provided up to the Landing
season may be Of the simplest kind,
providing it will protect from storm
and wind.
The aim should be to give breeding
ewes large liberty in the winter; if
the ground is bare, or even partially.
it will do them good to give them
large liberty. They will make excur-
sions into the fields in search Of
grass, and the exercise will do them
much good. They should be allowed
to lie in a well-bedded yard at night.
or in the shed or house adjoining. as
they prefer.
The other necessary attentions in
clude regular feeding. supply Of salt
at all times accessible. an ample sup
ply of pure water and yards apart
from those Of horses and cattle.

BOY THIEF ESCAPES JAIL
Lad, IA, Whose Thefts Amounted to
Many Thousands Of Dollars, Slips
From NJ. Y. Juvenile Asylum.

New York.-It became known In
Brooklyn that for the second time
since his Incarceration in the New
York juvenile asylum at Dobbs Ferry,
N. Y, Raymond Beck, the notorious
fourteen-year-old boy burglar, has es-
capped. The police have sent out a
general alarm for him. A newsboy,
who knows Beck well, said that he
had seer Beck in the vicinity of his
home.
Beck pleaded guilty to several burg
laries IL the children's court last No
vember, and the police stated at the
time that they suspected him of hav-
ing had a hand in nearly a hundred
others.
Beck escaped from the Juvenile asy-
lum in March by sliding down a rope
made of bed sheets. He tried to reach
his home in a taxicab, but was caught
at Yonkers, after the chauffeur had
tipped off the police.
Beck, in his confession. made after
his arrest, said that he had committed
SO many burglaries that he had lost
count of them. Several thousand dol
lars worth of loot was recovered.
Beck has fair hair, blue eyes and
rosy cheeks, and looks anything but
tough. He seemed to take Judge
Ryan's talk puch to heart and if he
gets a proper show may redeem bim-
self.

CLOVER MIXTURE FOR SWINE
Combination of Aisike With Either
Common Red or Mammoth
Gives Good Results.
gv r. G. wEArHERsroNE.J

By r.. G. wEATHERSTONE.)
A mixture of alsike with either the
common red or the mammoth clover
will give more and better pasture than
any one of them. The value of the
pasture depends on the lumber of
leaves rather than on the stems. The
per cent. Of the leaves is greater In
alsike than in the medium and the
medium has a larger per e of
leaves than has the mammoth, when
compared with the stem. This alsike
is finer in stem. too, and renews leafy
growth after eaten down better than
do the ranker %clovers., 1t pays to SOW
about ten pounds of medium and five
pounds of alsike to each acre.
l have noticed that shoats prefer
alfalfa to any of these clovers. This
suggests that they would enjoy a mix
ture Of clover including alfalfa. AS
it Is less hardy at the start 1t might
be we'll to defer sowing the alfalfa
until the season of severe frost has
passed.
Once established, alfalfa will endure
as much hardship as any of n clo-
vers named, yet none Of then will en-
dure grazing when frozen or even
when covered with frost. A little
care to keep frost off until the frost
has disappeared will prolong the use
fulness of the clover pasture. Delay
in turning on in the spring until May
will be profitable.

STOCK CHUTE QUITE USEFUL
Convenient Farm Implement Easily
Moved by Addition Of Two>Ois-
carded Mower Wheels.

Perhaps every farmer has occasion
to load some animal into a wagon n
many of them prepare for this by
building a stock chute. Frequently
these chutes are built as a permanent
fixture in connection with the. feed
lots, but they are often made so that
they can be transported from one
part Of the farm to another. When a
chute of this kind IL built heavy and
strong enough to support the weight
of a mature hog or @ large calf it
becomes a clumsy thing to move Mr..
R. J.. L~inscott, owner of the Rosalpha
Jerseys at Holton, Kan, has solved
this problem of Inconvenience in a
very easy way. The wheels and axle

Beautiful Scenes on the Out

Picturesque Heights of +oboken n
Weehawken Give an Impression
of Florence Carried Across
Sea From Italy.

New York.-Eastward or westward,
as a New Yorker rides in the ele-
waited trains, there are vistas to meet
his eye that will prove the city is
something beyond the poets brick
and stone if he will but look to find
them. From the elevated roads on
the eastern side of the city n once
the Battery park is left behind, the
pessimistic versifier has much the
better of it.
After the n%orthward bound trains
pass the Chatham square station all
glimpses of the East river, its piers
and ships and blue water, with soar
ing bridge towers and graceful
cables, are left behind, and there is
only the teeming life OF the east side
to flash up before his eyes dow the
narrow streets.
S%tuyvesant square and the pictur-
esque ST. Georges make a momentary
oasis of green and brown, and then
come the streets from the Twenties

chute is provided with two strong
iron hooks, which are sharpened SO
as to engage the bottom OF the wag-

arrangement there is no difficulty in
building a chute of ample strength
because the question of weight has
relatively little Importance. The chute
can be hooked on behind the wagon
and hauled to any part of the farm.

TWO LIVED AFTER HANGING,
French Woman, Suspended Thre0
DAYS. AfterWard Was Re.
suscitated.

London.-There are many curious
cases Of resuscitation after hanging:
for instance, that of Nine. de I'alham.
who, in 1864, having been condemned
to death for harboring thieves, wan
left hanging on the gallows from 3
o'clock Monday morning until sun-
rise Thursday, but revived on being
taken down. Henry III. granted her
q pardon.
Another instance Of the kind 90
Cured at Oxford in 1850, when Anna
Green, a servant girl, hanged for
child murder. revived when handed
over to the doctors for dissection.
Eager inquiries were made OF her al
to her sensations after suspension,
says the London Chronicle. but sho
remembered nothing, saying that her
revival was like awakening from 81

Lonoest-LIved Horses.

An authority on horses says that
the gray will live the longest and that
roans come next in order. Blacks,
he asserts, seldom live to be over 20
and creams rarely exceed 10 or Is.
1t is a matter of common observation
that grays and sorrels often live to a
useful old age. AS to the alleged
short terms of the other 9colors, there
Is room for discussion.

Result. Of Vaccination.

The Kansas experiment station has
received reports of the result OF vac
cinating $4,000 hogs against cholera.
In herds infected before vaccination
no per cent of the hogs survived. In
Nerds not infected before vaccination
80 per cent survived. This shows very
clearly that the time to use the chol-
era serum Is before the disease hits
the herd. The losses from swine dis
ease this year promise to be much less
than that, but there Is a good deal of
it scattered over the corn belt and
all precautions should be taken.
Serum is available now in nearly all
important swine-producing states. and
those who own hogs should take ad-
vantage of It.

Buyino Sheep.

Two rules in buying sheep are
pretty good ones to stick to-: Stay by
the sheep you have unless you have
positive proof that some other breed
is better-proof that comes from OBJ
serving them on farms owned by
general farmers. And never buy on
the basis of a mans show flock. See
his farm flock first, or at least know
him well by reputation as an honest
man. 1t is a fact that there are men
who have aocks as good as exist who
have never shown a sheep.
Don't sink a lot of money in sheep
II you never handled any-it's no
simple business. Give the sheep good
care and feed. Stay by them. But
most important of all-buy them.

Pumpkin. for Hog. and Cows.

It is surprising that more pumpkins
are not fed to pigs and COWS which
have access to the. alfalfa pasture in
the fall. For a brood SOW and shoats,
and even for fattening hogs. a ration
of pumpkins will give as good results
as. though they were cooked.
If cooked and some grain sprinkled
over them, the hogs will eat more of
them, which is the only advantage. In
feeding COWS the seeds should be re-
moved if fed in considerable quantity.

ton and a decrease in the milk
