PASTURE FOR SHEEP.
SuecuIent Grazing and Shade Needed
During the Summer.

suecuIent Grazing and Shade Needed
During the Summer.
Summer pasture is a very important
consideration in raising sheep. The
animals should have grazing so that
they can find succulent food in the
morning when the temperature is cool
and again in the afternoon when the
rays of the sun are not 30 penetrating.
After the temperature gets high in the
middle of the day the sheep will need
shade and water so they may keep
cool.
A woods pasture where there is Ber-
muda Or other handy grass. where
there. are trees to furnish shade for
the animals. is a good place for sheep
when the weather is warm. A few
acres Of land that would otherwise be
worthless may be used as a pasture for
sheep. %
But 1t is not economical to depend
upon a woods pasture where the graz
ing is rather short, as the animals will
need plenty of feed If they are to be
profitable. They should have crops
planted for grazing to supplement the
woods pasture. and some grain and
hay should be given daily. The lambs
should be well cared for and the ewes
and ANS given an opportunity to
make gains ven in very trying
weather.-Farm and Ranch.

Heat Conductors.

Some substances conduct heat
nor freely than others, silver
among the metals being the best
conductor, and as a unit of meas
urement is taken at 1000. Com
pared with silver as a conductor,
gold is 981, copper 845, zinc GAL,
tin 422, steel 1877 and wrought iron
436. Glass, wood, gases, liquids and
resinous substances are bad conduc-
tors. Water is such a poor con-
ductor that if heat is applied to the
top it will boil at the top, while the
bottom will remain cold.

csIorine Of the Clouds.

The gorgeous coloring of the
clouds, especially those of sunset, is
due to the circumstance that the
yellow and red rays of light have a
much greater penetrative momen-
tum than the blue. They make
their way through stretches of the
atmosphere which entirely arrest
and turn back the blue, and they
do this the more markedly if the
air is at the time laden with ex-
traneous particles that augment the
aerial opacity.-New York Ameri-

Life History In Hair.

A single hair is a sort of history

Crowded New York.

New York always was crowded.
In 1882 it had about thirty first
class hotels. Most of them were be-
low City Hall park. The capacity
of these houses was about 5000.
The average number of visitors to
the city at that time was estimated
to be 10000. 1t is stated by an
early historian that it was not an
unusual sight to see strangers in
the city wandering from house to
house, carrying their baggage with
them, seeking lodging for the night.
At that time there were only three
hotels conducted on the European
plan. Lodging at the latter was
from $3.50 to $3.50 a week.

DAIRY WISDOM.
