PREPARING SHEEP F(

5g
FOR
tFga asl4sat

Wherever possible it's advls-
ble,.to take the she off feed from
twelve to twenty-fourho hours before
slaughtering, with the exception OF
lambs which will fret too much if
taken from the dams and will conse-
quently be in a feverish condition
when slaughtered. AS with all stock. !.
however, sheep should be given all
the water they want to drink.
Always handle the sheep quietly
so that they do not become excited
and overheated before killing.
Special care should be taken to
see that sheep are not hauled by the
wool. Pulling the fleece by grab
bing the sheep on the back or on
the side will leave discolored spots.
on the carcass. Kicking or pound
ing the animalshas the same effect
Away catch sheep by the neck rear
flank, or hind leg and hold 1t by
placing one hand in the groove OF
the lower jaw and the other at the.
dock.
Besides causing bruise and dis
coloration of the carcass, handling
by the wool is painful. to the sheep.
The feeces of the sheep selected
for slaughter should be dry ae it is
hard to obtain a clean untaiuted
carcass if the fleece is wet.
After such careful preparation for
slaughter, the animal bleeds more
thoroughly, the carcass cools out
more rapidly, the entrails are cas-
ier to handle the danger of cutting
is lessened, the carcass makes bet
ter appearance, and the flesh has
better color. Full directions for kill

A STORMY DAY.

For about two weeks Wausau had
been passing through a dry spell.
Lawns commenced to dry up and
were fast becoming parched and it
required the use of much water to
keep the grass and shrubbery in
shape. Saturday morning at about
five o'clock dark clouds came up and
there were mutterings of thunder,
and those who were up and those
awakened, said to themselves, ''well,
a storm is coming, at last" 1t did
not come then but at about eleven
o'clock rain came down in torrents
and there was plenty of thunder and
lightning and Jimid ones sought safe
places. The storm was local one,
but there was lot of rain fell during
the hour of the storm. About the
only damage was to the occupants of
the Anderson building on Jefferson
street. This building is being en-
larged and part of the wood had
been uncovered and water poured in
to the undertaking department of A.
M. Peterson and considerable damage
was done to his stock of caskets, etc.
The Cash Register Company also oc-
cupies one of the stores and its goods
were also somewhat damaged by the
rain. Later Mr.. Peterson's stock was
taken to the Kiefer store house and
the Cash Register Company trans
ferred its stock to the Hotel Bells
sample rooms, until such time as the
building could be occupied again.
In the evening little after six
O'Clock another heavy electrical storm
visited the city. This was accom-
panied by some wind and quite a
number of trees were blown down in
various parts of the city. Several
storms followed during the evening
until everything was thoroughly sat
urated. In the town of Wausau,
Wescot's and Ben Hammond's barns
were struck by lightning and de-
| stroyed; and also four horses at large
| in the fields in the same town were
killed in like manner, one team be-
longing to Geo. Andrews and the
other to man by the name of Pence.
While the rain helped the crops
and the lawns, it did not cool off the
atmosphere to any extent, as Sunday
was about as sultry as any day of the
| season.

there are probably other authenticated
