Never feed new grain; 1t Is apt to
cause bowel trouble.
Rye is q grain that should never be
fed as it is very laxative and liable
to cause severe intestinal irritation
and death.
Hempseed should never be fed lib
orally, as 1t is very heating and fat
tening.
An overcrowded loft is both unprof-
table and danger.
When the young birds are about two
weeks old the wing and tail feathers
generally start growing. The small
feathers follow these.
The old birds quit feeding their
young as soon as they hatch out a
new pair of squads.
It is a mistake to build the house
directly on the ground. Such lofts are
generally damp and beside, are dill

a sudden fright.
The small, round louise on the body
and head is the most troublesome.
Before placing new stock in the loft
1t should be. quarantined for week
or SO.
Being very fattening, millet seed
must be carefully fed.
Be sure to sift the cracked corn be-
fore feeding.
Pigeons are great water drinkers,
especially while caring for the young.
1t costs about six cents to raise

done.

sPerpetual Motion,

As the term Is generally understood,
perpetual motion is the motion OF an
engine which. without any support or
power from without. can not only
maintain its own motion forever, but
can also be applied to drive machin
cry, and therefore do external work.
In other words. 1t means device for
creating power or energy without cor
responding expenditure. This is alb
solutely impossible, no matter what
physical forces be employed. The
quantity of force In existence being
fixed, no new stock can be created,
and therefore a self-moving machine
is out of the question. The modern
physical axiom, the conservation OF
energy founded on experimental
bases as certain as those which con
vince us of the truth of the laws OF
motion, may be expressed In the neg
alive thus: Perpetual motion Is i'm
possible.

more muscular sheep Is necessary;
and 1t Is on that account that crossing
some of our larger breeds is so much
In favor, as 1t tends to produce sheep

coupled with good constitutions.
And although beauty of form has to
be sacrificed, yet in the weight Of NUT

a small percentage of mortality, 1t Is

will thrive. either kept pure or other

where In days gone by such thing
would not be dreamed of, and 1t is on
that kind Of land that cross-bred sheep
are sure to thrive better than any
other.

Unnoticed OPPORTUNITIES.

LIES greatest opportunities are not
like the great ships which sail from
the chief ports of the world, which
sail and come again and sail at stated
intervals from the same ports. The
great chances touch once at the pier
Of our lives. throw out the planks OF
opportunity over which our feet may
pass, ring their signal bells In ouI
ears, and then sail out of the harbor
and away into the eternal sea and
never come again. The little chances
linger and return, but the great
chances come and 60 and never come
again. If with illumined sight we
could look back over the lives of the
people by whom we are surrounded
how many great ard rich opportuni'
ties would we see that they have per

PRODUCTION CT FAT LAMBS
Flock Masters Arc not Slow In Find

The Shropshire Is much in favor as

Ryeland also claims qualities of no

Where a flock 10 kept solely for the

Flock masters, as rule, are not
long in finding out what breed suits

sheep breeding both are very import
