to greenhorns. There may be no pro-
tit at all for year or SO. Sheep are
the most helpless of all domestic AMI
mails. They don't know enough to
come In out of the rain" They don't
know much Of anything. They have
been cared for so attentively for cen
turtles that they quit making any effort
to care for themselves. The man who
is not willing to give them this care
Is unfit to be sheep man. 1t re-
quires gentleness. for they are meek
and helpless.
Our advice Is to go slow with sheep,
by all means, raise sheep. They
should be on every farm. But start
with few, one or two dozen at most,
and learn how to care for them. They
Will multiply as fast as your skill in
sheep raising will warrant. II you
can't save the lambs, then you are
unit for larger number. II you can
save them you soon have the large
number. A dozen sheep will show
you all the holes in the fences as CON-
pletely as 500 will.
Prices are alluring, but keep a level
head. There is no telling anyway, be-
cause they benefit the farm whether
prices are up or down.

RATI0NS FOR DAIRY CALVES
Little Bloodmeal Frequently Recon-
mended as Preventive and Cure
for Calf Scours.

That while linseed meal sometimes
gives very excellent results, yet on the
whole other preparations are to be pre-
ferred, says Hoard's Dairyman. Corn,
barley, oats and bran are recommend
ed for this purpose. With the young
calf mixture of low grade -four,
sieved ground oats, cornmeal or lin
seed oil meal made into a jelly by
boiling, continuing such feed for two
or three weeks, while the stomach
is small and incapable Of utilizing
coarser feeds, Is suggested. AS soon
as possible. however, change to whole
corn or whole oats with or without
little oil meal fed dry.
Among other mixtures proposed is
one consisting OF 20 pounds Of corn
meal. 20 pounds of oatmeal, 20 pounds
OF oilmeal. 10 pounds Of bloodmeal,
5 pounds Of bonemeal. Change to
corn, oats and bran when calves are
three months old. A little of the
bloodmeal as part of the dairy ra-
ton is very frequently recommended.
1t seems to have in some way a tonic
effect, and is also claimed to be both
a preventive and a cure for calf
scours.

DIDN'T KNOW THE SENA f0R
Thomas Of Colorado Was Barred at
Senate Door After His Hair
Was Cut.

As Sampson found his strength van
ished after Delilah shipped his locks,
so Senator Thomas of Colorado found
his official identity lost after paying a
visit to barber shop in the capitol.
He even was spurned by the senate
doorkeepers.
Senator Thomas long has gloried in
a waving name. But when the sizzling
heat OF an unusually hot spring day
settled on Washington 1t ceased to be
a source Of qualification or glory.
The senator stood the discomfort as
long as he could and then decided to
be shorn. An overzealous barber
shipped the statesman's locks down to
the scalp.
Back" said portly doortender
when Senator Thomas sought to enter
to the floor OF the senate. "You can't
get in here"
But I'm Senator Thomas" pro-
tested the applicant.
Nothing doing" retorted the door
keeper, looking at the supposed intru-
der's apparently bald head. You'll
find the elevators to the public gal
leries down the corridor to your right"
The senator was rescued by a col
league, who disclosed his identity to
the embarrassed keeper OF the door.
The barber, at last reports, was said
to be in hiding.

Superstition ard Iuriea

After having sat on many juries the
observant man is of the opinion that
the whole human race is still strong
iy tarred with the brush of supersti-
ton.
Il am confirmed in that belief by the
amount of damages invariably voted to
plaintiffs whose injuries smack OF su-
perstitious origin" he said. IF load
of bricks should fall from a fifth story
window onto the head of a man who
happened to be walking under ladder
he would get twice as much damages
as II the ladder were not there The
element OF bad luck that attaches to
ladder would insensibly influence every
Juror, and the sum awarded would re-
aect their prejudices and sympathies."

Chances of Climate.

A scientist who recently investigated
.he causes Of secular variations in tenn
perature at the earth's surface thinks
that they are more probably due to
changes in the amount of carbonic
acid in the atmosphere than to varia-
tons in the heat of the sun. If the
amount Of carbonic acid that the air
now contains was diminished a little
more than half, the mean temperature
all over the earth would, it is stated,
drop about eight degrees, which would
be sufficient to bring on another gla-
cial period. On the other hand, an in
crease Of carbonic acid to between two
and three times tbs present amount
would raise the mean temperature Is
degrees and renew the hot times Of
the Eocene epoch.

The Lesser Of Two Evils.

A gentleman from the north was en-
joying the excitement OF bear hunt
down in Mississippi. The bear was
surrounded in small cane thicket
The dogs could not get the bear out
and the planter who was at the head
OF the hunt called to one OF the ne
groes:
Sam. go in there and get the bear
out"
The negro hesitated for a moment
and then plunged into the cane A few
moments after the negro, the bear and
the dogs were rolling upon the ground
outside.
After the hunt was over the visitor
said to the negro:
Were you not afraid to go into that
thicket with that bear?"
"Cap'n," replied the negro. 1T wus

ADVANTAGES OF DAIRY FARM
Increases Productivity Of Soil, In.
sures Monthly Income and Even
Distributes Labor.

Prof. f. L. Kent. OF the dairy hus-
bapdry department of the Oregon
Agricultural college. states as follows
the advantages of dairy farming In
the Oregon Countryman, a monthly
magazine published by the students
at o. A. c.:
Briefly stated, the advantages of
dairy farming are: Increasing pro-
ductivity Of the soil, regular month
ly income putting the business on a
cash basis. better distribution of
the labor of the farm than is pos

supplying a product for the market,

Infant Hygiene at School.

girls have shown an intense and de-
lighted interest in the lessons, absorb
Ing eagerly all that relates to the
proper care Of babies. This kind of
instruction in the public schools repre-
sents something more and better than
the activity of faddists. America, like
other countries, has very large in
FAINT death rate. Thousands Of infants
die annually because they have not re-
ceived proper care. 1t is easily con-
ceivable that the proper training of
girls might save the lives of many
babies.

We pole our beans with round poles
about eight feet long and the thick
ness OF ones wrist. They are set one
pole to each hill and the four poles
form square brought together and
tied with common binder Irvine, about
nine feet from the ground. This gives
a wigwam frame with firm. broad base
and SO substantial that no ordinary
storm will blow it over.
Almost all other members of the
bean family are quick maturing plants
and the life Of the crop covers only
a part Of the growing season. Not
SO with pole lima beans; they are
rather slow growing. 1t requires
nearly ninety days for the vines to
fully mature and come into heavy
bearing. But after the vines begin to
bear they continue to produce bios
SONS and fruit all through the re-
mainder of the growing season, so

picked and more allowed to ripen,

BEST BEANS TO GROW
Some Like Bush and Lima varie-
ties Because Easy to Grow.
Others Prefer Pole Llmas on Ac-
count Of Quality, Quantity and

A writer says that both bush and
lima beans are more satisfactory and
easier to grow than the pole limas
Now, every one for his choice, but
we prefer the pole Nmas every time
for quality. quantity and long season
OF profitable bearing, says a writer In
an exchange. 1t Is true that setting
poles for plants to vine on requires
more work than when no poles are
used. but the results more than pay
for all the work. The trouble with
most of us in our gardening and farm
Ing Is that we try to grow things in
the easiest way. but the easiest way
Is seldom the best way. We should
never be satisfied with anything short
of the best.
Pole lima beans are the largest and
best beans grown. Make the soil as
loose and rich and fine as possible.

face is a smooth, fine and mellow az

Cultivate young lima beans as for

weeds to grow close to the cultivated
plants, as limas will not thrive in the
presence Of strange company. Some

Cannon of Solid Rock.

When the island of Malta was under
the rule of the Knights of st. John
they defended their Notifications with
cannon bored in the living rock. Each
one of these strange weapons con
tanned an entire barrel of powder, and
as it was not possible to vary the aim
of these cannon so were made ready,
facing various directions from which
the enemy might approach.
When the fame of these arms of de-
Tense became known to the world the
Idea was taken up of transporting
rocks to submits to serve the same
purpose, but it was soon recognized to
be impracticable, and the cannon of
Malta, bored in solid rock, have
passed into history as the sole wea-
pons of the kind ever known.-Har-

MEMORY IMPROVED.
Since Leaving OF Coffee.

Many persons suffer from poor
memory who never suspect coffee has
anything to do with it.
The drug-eaffeine-in coffee, acts
injuriously on the nerves and heart,
causing imperfect circulation, too
much blood in the brain at one time,
too little in another part. This often
causes dullness which makes a good
memory nearly impossible.
Il am nearly seventy years old and
did not know that coffee was the
cause of the stomach and heart trou-

Foolish Self-Condemnation.

MANY PERSONS COLOR BLIND
Tests Used by Railroads Show That
Almost Everybody Is Slightly
Color Blind

The various tests for color blind
ness have come into practical use In
the examination OF railroad engineers
and the like, where the ability to dis
tinguish colors is necessary. so that
these tests are no longer peculiar to
the laboratory. But il liz not gener-
ally known outside the laboratory that
everybody Is partially color blind
that is, In certain parts OF the field of
vision. The most normal individual
can see all the colors only when he
looks directly at them. II looked at
from an angle of about fifteen degrees
red and green can no longer be seen,
but In their places will appear shades
OF yellow or blue. This region OF the
eyes is known as the yellow-blue zone
II the color be moved still farther to
the side the yellow and blue will dis
appear and only gray can be seen.
This region is known as the zone of
complete color blindness. An inter
esting theory in regard to these zones
is that every normal eye represents
three stages of evolution. The zone
OF complete color blindness is the low
est stage, and appears In such ami
mails as the frog. whose vision Is
known as shadow vision. The blue
yellow zone is one step higher in the
scale, although not clearly marked
on In the animal kingdom. And the
appearance OF the red-green zone
marks the highest stage OF evolution

ment beyond the early stage OF indi-
vidual life.-Strand Magazine.
