Reputation

MY. hsSkesIhsSss HN.n# III.
A very wise man and a fool met one
day on the road leading into a certain
city. The wise mans reputation had
preceded him, and the fool was known
by name to all the people. It was
expected that the wise man would en-
ter from the east, while the fool had
sent word that he would approach
from the west. But.they made a com
pact, and the wise man entered from
the west, while the fool made his en-
trance through the eastern gate.
When he entered the city the peo-
pie gazed upon the fool and said:
"How wise is his look. We need not
hear him speak to know that he is q
sage" II ~.
And they, saw the wise man and
said:
in every lineament OF his features
Is written 'Fool!'"
And when the fool spoke they won
dered at his wisdom, whereas when
the wise man addressed them they
shouted derisively and threw things at
him.
And It came to pass that the wise
man withdrew from the city and spent
the remainder Of his days wondering
whether the winning of the good opin-
ion Of the crowd was worth the effort
or not.

Long time ago, in the camps OF the
Indians who lived in the wooded noun
tains. there was a long dispute about
the 'possum. 1t was all about why he
was such a fellow for lying down. curl
ing up into a ball, and pretending to
be dead.
Some Of the old people told the
story Of how the cricket-barber was
once sent by the rabbit to cut on all
the hairs from the 'possum's tail be-
fore he came to a big dance, and that
made the 'possum so ashamed of him
self that he lay down and hid his head
under his front paws and would not
say q word for so long a time that all
the other animals thought he was
dead.
But some other old people, who said
that they spoke true, used to tell a
different story, and this is 1t:
In the settlement where they lived.
the rabbit and the 'possum were called
good-for-nothing fellows-they were

'possum waddled fatty away the rabbit
sat down to plan out the words he
would say when he got to the next set
Element. 7
Early next morning the rabbit and
the 'possum started out. In a very
little while the rabbit was far ahead Of
the 'possum, for the 'possum was fat
and a slow traveller. So the rabbit
came to the next settlement at noon,
and when all the animals there had
come In to eat dinner the rabbit stood
up and said that he had brought the
message from the Great Council Of the
animals for all the animals in that set
Element to get married at once.
Everybody knew that the rabbit was
the messenger from the Great Coun-
Gil, and SO, even before they sat down
to eat their dinner, everybody who was
not married picked out a. wife. The
rabbit, picked out a wife for himself.
too; and then they all sat down to
make their dinner a great wedding
feast.
In the afternoon, when the 'possum
came along, there was no wife left for
him! But the rabbit said to him:
THAT is too bad! Now, 1 will tell
you what we will do; we will 90 on to
the next settlement, and there you will
be sure to get a wife" And after the
postum had rested and eaten some
thing they set out again. But. again.
the rabbit got far ahead Of the wad-
ding 'possum, and when he came to
the settlement he called all the ami.
aEls together and stood up to say:
II come from the Great Council, and
/ bring word that you are all to begin
to make war at once. So long have
you been at peace that you are getting
lazy. Now, everybody must begin to
fight at once!" And the rabbit said 1t
80 loudly that everybody in that set
Element took up their arms and began
to fight.
But the rabbit did not want to fight
and In six jumps he was of and away.
taking his wife with him. Then, just
as the fight was getting fierce, the
'possum came up. and they all jumped
on him. Not having any weapons to
fight with, because he was o. a wed.
ding journey, all the 'possum could do
to save himself was to fall over. curl
UP and pretend to be dead.
And so. say some Of the old people,
he does to this day whenever there 10
trouble.

QUARTERS FOR FISH
Splendid Fishing May Be Enjoyed by
Cutting Hole Through Ice, With
Bonfire Built Near II.

Winter Is the time Of the year when
the inland fish are living under cover
that is not Of their own choice or max
ing. No doubt they think that nature
is keeping them in prison. and grum-
BILE accordingly. II a fish with its
mouth full OF water car grumble.
These finny friends Of the fresh water
probably do not know enough about
physical science to be aware Of the
fact that the icy coverings that block
out much OF the sunlight from their
homes serve also to shield them from
the cold Of winter. In ponds and rivers
where there are are many fish the
water under the ice seems to get close
for them, Just as the air gets close In
a room filled with people and without
proper ventilation. So II some heavy
skater breaks a hole In the ice the
chances are that before he has scram-
bled out Of the water a crowd Of ex-
cited fish will be IN the ground-or,
rather, in the water-about the hole,
and will pop their noses out eagerly
for a gulp Of fresh air. Then Is the
time that they may be dipped up in
nets with ease. I have seen them
dipped out In pals from some OF the
Michigan lakes. One Of the best ways
to catch the big fellows is to build a
bonfire on the ice at night. then cut
o hole In the ice not far from the Are
and set a lantern beside II. II you

much the better. Provide yourself
with some large hooks. and. say, ten
feet of strong line. Bait the hooks
with fresh meat. or minnows. II you
can get them, and drop your line and
hooks into the hole, keeping the hooks
near the surface. Usually you get a
bite. as soon as your bait touches
the water. Then comes q tussle, and
a hard pull, and your fish Is landed.
You should wear q pair Of heavy.
leather-covered mittens while fishing
this way, or you will be likely to
freeze your fingers.

Tho Goose l. All Rlaht.

You must no longer use the express
sion: AS silly as a goose" The nat
uralists of half a dozen countries have
been studying the goose of late years,
and they have come to the conclusion
that she is the wisest fowl among them
all. She never quarrels without cause;
she sees danger before any other
fowl: she has more courage than the
rooster; she Is far Drawer than the,
gobbler. and II given a fair show she
can beat of the fox.
A flock Of geese squatted around
the barnyard at night is a much
greater protection than the watch dog.
They are light sleepers, and will give
the alarm the instant they see a
stranger moving about. We should
say "as wise as a goose" and give her
all due credit.

So much depends upon the start the
lamb gets in his arst two or three
weeks that we are, justified In spend
ing as much time as we can possibly
spare In looking after the flock during
lambing time, II the weather is cold
and raw, the mortality among the
lambs is going to be much greater than
It VIII be II the weather Is mild
through April.
The April lamb has a much better
chance to do well than the lamb that
Is dropped earlier in the season. How
ever. II they come on a chilly, damp
day. It will pay the owner to be near
at hand. where he will have q chance
to see that the .youngster gets his first
drink Of milk as soon as possible. That
viii keep the new lamb from chilling,
and when he Is once chilled, he Is
sometimes pretty hard to get back on
his feet
Where the lamb really gets q chill
ling. the best remedy is a bucket or a
tub filled with water. well warmed,
writes Louis G. Hall of Kansas in the
Farm Progress. Place the lamb In
this for a few minutes, take him out,
rub him dry and bundle him up un-
der a stove Oh near a warm fire till
he is warmed all the way through.
1t Is absolutely necessary that the
milk flow Of the eve be kept up after
the lambs arrival. Where you have a
few roots to feed before the grass
comes, these win work wonders in
stimulating the milk. Roots and a lit
tie grain will insure plenty of milk.
and l know Of no grain that can equal
oats in eve feeding.
When there is some doubt as to
whether the WI Is giving the lamb
enough. always fall back on bran as a
part OF the ration. Bran viii stimulate
the milk flow In the eve Just as sue
cessfully rs 1t does for the dairy COW,

II Is needed. Or course, there Is usu-
ally very little trouble after the grass
comes.
Plenty of clover hay or alfalfa along
with a little mixed bran and oats win
keep the lambs growing. That is q
point to be considered. I am certain
that a lamb that once gets o real check
in his growth never grows out just
as he should. or course the eve must
be kept In as good general condition
as possible. Before grass comes there
il usually some trouble from constipa-
ton among the ewes. Bran feeding
will relieve this condition and keep
the eve from letting up in her milk
production.
The eve is Inclined to be a little fe-
verish after Landing, and about all she
needs for the first day Is a little hay
and plenty OF water. For the first
week or ten days she should be
watched for any Indications that the
udder is caking and given quick atten-
ton when trouble is found.
Within q couple of weeks after they
r dropped, healthy lambs will begin
to try to eat. They will nibble around
the trough when their mothers r fed
and they should be taught to eat at
that time II you wish to crowd them
along and get them ready for the fall
markets.
The best plan is to fence of a little
feeding place for them where they will
not be bothered by the older animals.
One corner Of the lot can be set apart
for them. Fix the fence SO the open
ings will be large enough to admit
the lambs and shut the old sheep out
Feed them cracked corn or at least see
that it is shened. as they will not be
able to get the grains on the cob.
Where oats. bran. wheat. barley or
any combinations Of these grains are
fed. the ration will need no special
preparation.
