HINTS
FOR TIE SHEPHERD
While Dipping the Sheep lust Dip
the Lambs, Too-Keep All
Good Breeding Ewes.

Do not let anyone deceive you by
you as much money as wether lambs,
for they will not do it.
Castrate all male lambs at eight
days to two weeks of age. and any
good operator will not lose one out
Of 100.
Dip all your sheep as soon as shear
ing is over. While you are at it just
dip the lambs too, as the ticks will
leave the shorn ewes for the woolly
lambs.
lust as long as a eve holds her
teeth" It will pay to keep her for a
breeder, as ewes breed lambs Up to
quite an advanced age.
That old eve might have brought
$3.50 last fall and the two lambs trot-
ting at her side will bring S. or Sc in
July.
An old W or W may die during
the winter. but you al lose one out
of three and still make it pay to keep
them at 81 to SO per head.
The sheep get uneasy as soon as
the hot weather zones on unless they
get out on the ground. 1t is a good
plan to let them out every day for a
while. If the pastures are o. high
enough so that they can get all they
want TO eat, bring them down at night
and give them a nice, bright look OF
hay and a little grain. The ewes need
this If the lambs are to be kept grow
ing.
II the coarse hay In the managers is
given to sheep they will nibble a
great deal Of 1t away.
The sheep is a dainty feeder and
will not eat musty or unclean hay or
fodder. Neither will sheep drink I'M
clean water.
1t is strange that some men will
insist on raising a scrub ram when a
thoroughbred costs SO little in COM
parison to the Improvement be will
make in his flock.
Sheep will sometimes eat weeds.
but it is generally because they have
nothing better.
The reason why so many men fail
in the sheep business Is because they
do not study it before they begin.

Grace was a country girl, whose
parents sent her 10 the city to at
tend college. When the holidays
came around and she came home, her
mother gave a reception in her honor.
Some Of the girl friends asked
Grace TO show them her new gowns.
Obligingly she brought out several
modish gowns, and. holding up a par
ticu!arly pretty one Of silk, she said
Isn't this one perfectly beautiful?
And just think. it came from a poor,
little insignificant worm"
Her hard-working father was seated
near, watching the performance, and
he replied:
Yes, darn It, and I'm that worm"

Sheep raising means something more
than buying a flock Of sheep and turn
ing them into a bare pasture without
shelter.
Our sheep farmers are beginning to
learn that they need permanent pas
lures increased yearly in productive
ness by high fertilizing.
The hit-or-miss plan Of raising
sheep has never yet proved profitable.
Never feed sheep heavily on n
grain alone. Give them a variety and
don't forget the roots.
English shepherds believe that peo-
pie who eat mutton and leave pork
alone will lever have indigestion.
Arrange your fields so that the
sheep will have good shade during
the coming summer.
il is an easy matter to provide a
narrow trough filled three or four
inches deep with solution through
which the sheep a pass from the
pen to the pasture every morning.
This will not cure bad cases of foot
rot but it will prevent new cases.
One of the necessary things in the
care of sheep is the pairing of their
hoofs at least twice o year. Nature
provided a rapid growth of hoof to
stand the year and tear of stony
ground but soft pastures will not wear
down the hoofs fast enough and the
broken hoof often results in disease.
II you have any old sheep, they
should be separated from the rest of
the flock, and II they are to be fat
tened, corn should be cracked for
them.
Do not make the mistake Of starting
the sheep business with a large flock.
You will have your hands full for the
first yea or two with a dozen.
The most profit to be made in sheep
is On the farm where small hocks can
be handled to better advantage than
by wholesale.
Ever try smoked mutton hams?
They are cured Just as easily as pig
hams and are good eating.
II sheep and lambs are fed grain
together, the lambs will fare pretty
slim. Have n hole in the fence near
the barn through which the lambs a
slip and get away from the old sheep.
Have a good trough out there for the
grain you feed the little fellows and
they will get their share and grow like
weeds.
Make 1t a rule to see the sheep and
lambs every day. Count to see that
nothing has happened to them. If
n is sick or otherwise in trouble.
get it out OF the flock where you "a
give il a little extra care.

Onion In Salad.

Onion is indispensable to a good
salad. but its presence should never
be obvious. The best way to conceal
it is TO rub the sides Of the dish with
a section of an onion, and not to put
any onion in the salad at all.
Another way is TO use half a tea
spoonful of onion juice in the salad

The onion. 1t is well to set aside a
small crater for this purpose. as the
onion will cling to it. Crate the juice
INTO a saucer and use no more than q
half teaspoonful to a small salad.

Of their being incapacitated by acct
dent or labor they may still be kept
with profit as breeders.
Horses employed for farm work
should not be pampered, but should
be fed generously, SO as 10 sustain
vigor and good spirits.
A team Ill fed, and consequently In
poor condition and feeble, will not &C
complish much real hard work, and 1t
Is a waste of labor TO hire an expen-
sive hand to drive such q team.
The harness, and particularly the
collar, should be accurately adjusted
TO the horse. If the collar is either
too tight or too loose It gals him and
seriously affects his breathing.
The w%orkhorses should be fed early
in the morning, and they should have
a liberal feeding. The comfort and
rest Of the team will be vastly pro
NOTED If the harness is entirely re-
moved at noon while they are feeding.
Rub them down carefully and cleanse
from dust and sweat.
Allow them plenty Of time for a
good meal and partial digestion before
they are put to work for the after
noon. 1t is poor policy to put them to
work right after eating a hearty meal.

Purpose of Measure.

Representative Cooper of Wisconsin SAID
That his understanding of the situation
was that the half-and-half principle was
TO be left undisturbed by the original
George bill; that property was to be as
sessed annually in full value, and that
the Commissioners were to be given the
power to decide the amount of taxes to be
raised in accordance with the needs oI
the District.
THAT is correct replied Representativ,
George.
Representative Tgoe Of Missouri also
hammered home the idea that no investt-
cation had been given to the persona

digging out of the GEORGETOWN channel,
which at points will have to be deepened
about four feet to give depth of twen-
ty-one feet on mean low water from the
Highway bridge to the Georgetown
wharves. This deepening of the channel
is necessary for big coal-carrying ves-

Representative Coady of Maryland. a
new member of the District committee,
said that the imposition of full city
rate of 1lA per cent on intan-
giblc property in this District would al
most amount to confscation and would
have the effect. as it has in other cities.
of forcing and causing the people not to
turn in intangible property that they own
and to make perjurers and liars of them.
That has been the effect wherever they
have tried to tax intangible personal
property at full city rates.
He continued: You propose not only to
tax stocks and bonds. but You propose to
tax annuities. In many cases where the
annuity amounts to 500 or $500 it is
needed and paid TO poor people; and you
propose to tax also savings bank deposits,
which in nearly all cases are held by
poor people. I say that the measure in
the present shape is grossly unfair on
that account 1t will impose an unfair
burden on the thrifty workman and
workwoman who by continued hard work
and economy save few hundred dollars
and nut it in the savings banks.
