sheep 2 gallons per day. The water

clasp the hands behind the head and
bend the elbows forward and back
several times. An excellent deep

possible. Keep the lips closed and
draw a deep breath, rising on the tip

Value of Butter.Eat.

A ton of butter-fat is worth about
800, and when sold take practically
nothing from the fertility Of the soil.
The lesson from this observation is
that IL one expects TO retain the pro-
ductivity of his farm. he should give
careful attention to live stock, espe-
cially the dairy COW. See that the
live stock have plenty of salt available
at all times.

Millinery vogues are entering upon
