The Supreme Confidence One Engineer
Had In His Work.
There is something inspiring about
the self confidence Of the men who do
big things. A number of years ago
the country was Mortified by the news
that Galveston had been swept by
food. But the mud was hardly dry In
the city's streets before plans were
made for building a great sea wall to
keep out the waters. George w.
Boschke was the engineer to whom
this gigantic undertaking was In
trusted.
He finished his work while the world
looked on with interest. Later he went
up into inland Oregon to look after the
engineering work of one of the great
railroad companies that were opening
up that vast undeveloped country.
Boschke was in camp, forty miles
from the railroad. says the Technical
World. One day an exhausted mes
senger rode in and handed telegram
to Boschke's assistant. The message
said that the Galveston wall had been

disturbed. but there was nothing to
do but to lay the telegram before MS

ly. II built that wall to stand Then
he turned to the work in hand.
His confidence was justified. The

There had been storm as severe as

CARING FOR SHEEP.

Importance of Keeping Ewes Thrifty.
Docking the Lambs.
Nothing is more discouraging to the
shepherd than flock Of ewes that get
unhealthy and produce a weak, un-
healthy set of lambs. writes an Ohio
farmer in the American Agriculturist.
Therefore it is of great importance to
have the brood ewes in fine. healthy
condition. This will insure good sup
ply Of milk and careful mothers. In
the care of our brood ewes we keep a
constant supply of common salt in
boxes where they can have access to
it at all times. We also put some tur-
pentine on the salt after the flies be-
gin to make their appearance and more
especially after the lambs begin to like
salt
The majority of our ewes are turned
out on pasture before their lambs are
dropped. the salt boxes put in the
fields and kept we'll supplied Now the
lambs begin to arrive, and quite often
twins are dropped We try to visit
the flock once or twice each day and
look especially to see if the ewes own
their lambs and examine each eve to
see that she has plenty of milk for the
lamb and that her teats are all right
These little cares often save valuable
lambs as we'll as trouble later on fol-

Three per cent of all hogs that are
slaughtered under federal supervision
are infected with tuberculosis. The
percentage of hogs affected with the
disease has increased considerably
within the past half dozen years. The
chief sources of spreading the disease
are the use of the skimmilk and butter
milk from tubercular cows and the
practice Of having hogs follow feeding
cattle that are affected with the dis
ease and consuming the offal thrown
out from slaughter houses.
