RARE PRESENCE OF MIND

the case of handsome young woman
of his acquaintance. She had gone to
the railway station to meet man
friend of the family, and when he de-
barked from the train the young man
lost his hear and impulsively kissed
her. The girl thought it the part of
prudence to tell her mother of the af-
fair, upon which the latter was simply
Mortified.
"You don't mean to tell me that he
had the impudence to kiss you?" she
cried. "And to think of the crowd at
the station! Why, my dear, what did
you do in such an embarrassing stu
ation?"
''Why, mother, I just kissed him
back, of course" coolly replied the
young woman. II wanted to give all
those people the impression that we

HINTS FOR MAKING MONEY WITH SHEEP

Sheep are the most nervous of ami
mails and if allowed to run down
quickly become the prey of disease
The well kept, well fed sheep is the
only kind to keep.
Sheep will not thrive in dark
damp, badly ventilated quarters, even
If they are only confined in such
places over night Better keep them
In an open lot than house them under
such conditions.
Never permit the sheep to lie on foul
bedding or in barns that are muddy
and dirty.
Low, muddy pastures make fine
breeding ground for germs and sheep
should therefore always be pastured
on high, dry land.
Never turn a sheep lose after clip
ping without first having dipped him
thoroughly as preventive of para
sites.
No matter If the ram or breeding
ewes you buy come from the best
breeding farm in the country, do not
permit them to run with your flock
for at least ten days. This time is
necessary to develop any disease that
may be carried about with them.
Sheep require more careful inspec-
ton than any other farm animal be-
cause the disease attacks them quick
ly and often becomes fatal before it
has been really discovered
A good flock master will not fail
to have every sheep on the place pass
dnder his own eye once every day.
Some farmers imagine that by
breeding a large, rangy lamb with
small eve larger lambs will result
This is seldom the case and the
best results are obtained by breed

ENCOURAGE PURE
BREED OF POULTRY
Farmer Should at Least Pur-
chase FuII-BIooded Cock, Dis
posing of Old Rooster.
(By B. NELSON.)

In many localities the barn-yard
fowl will not give way to the i'm
proved breeds. If you cannot afford
to buy an entire breeding-pen of pure
stock, at least obtain a full-blooded
cock and send the old common rooster
to market. This will greatly improve
matters, if you are careful to retain
the best pullets of this cross-breed,
and when you have a stock of good
ones sacrifice the old hens. Cannot
farmers be prevailed upon to do this,
when the supply of eggs, even in the
villages, is too small in winter? When
eggs are scarce and the prices high,
do not some diminish home con-
sumption, and even then complain of
the small number they have to take
to market. A thoroughbred hen of
good strain will lay nearly fifty per
cent. more in the number of eggs than
common hen. If the prices diminish
little the increased production of
eggs will much overbalance the
account. Too many persons raise
poultry without regard to the use of
pure breeds and regardless of an effort
to maintain the high standard to
which our domestic fowls have at
tanned. The increased evidence of the
fact that high-class poultry pays, is
surely sufficient to encourage us to
strike out boldly and extensively in
this field of enterprise. Every effort
in this direction will meet with such
favor that success will surely follow

PROPER MANNER TO
UNCOIL NEW ROPE
There Are Two Ways of Per-
forming This important Duty,
One Right, One Wrong.
(By ]. M. DREW.)

The proper way to take rope from a
coil is to draw it from the middle.
There are two ways to do this, right
and wrong way. If:it happens TO be
done the wrong way the rope will be-
come twisted in manner that will
make it almost unmanageable. If done
the right way it will come out without
any twisting or snarling and all the
rope in the coil may be drawn out
without trouble. To do it properly
the rope should be uncoiled toward
the left, or opposite the way the hands
of a watch or clock run.
By finding the inside end of the coil
and observing how it uncoils, one may
tell whether or not he is starting in
the right way. If the rope uncoils to
the right instead of the left the whole
coil should be turned over and the end
pulled through from the opposite side
of the coil The rope will then uncoil
to the left and cause no trouble.

What So Precious
AS o. Healthy Baby?
Every Youngster Can Have Fine
Digestion if GiUen q Good
Baby Laxative:

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent attention
to diet, babies and children will be-
come constipated, and it is a fact that
constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many a young life. To start
with good digestive apparatus is to
start life without handicap.
But, as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels, we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use Of laxative-tonic
very highly recommended by great
many mothers. The remedy is called
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tions. 1t can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar bottle, and those who are al
ready convinced of it's merits buy the
dollar size.
It's mildness makes it the ideal medi-
cine for children, and it is also very
pleasant to the taste. It is sure in its
effect, and genuinely harmless. Very
little of it is required and it's frequent
use does not cause it to lose it's eff
feet, as is the case with so many other
remedies.
Thousands can testify to it's merits
in constipation, indigestion, bilious
ness, sick headaches, etc., among
them reliable people like Mrs. James

1t is true that warm water is just
as wet as cool water but it is not so
palatable and the hogs will thrive
better if they have a cool drink at
least twice a day. Water should al
ways be within reach.
Hogs exposed to the hot sunshine
Cay in and day out during the sum-

Penalty of Having Too Much Rope.

Oil meal is excellent to prevent in

Every flock of so or more animals

Never buy a sheep dog FROM a

that he or his ancestors have been
actually worked on sheep. So many
collies are now being bred for looks

of them are entirely worthless for
work among sheep.

Supplementary feeds must be sup
