Sheep raising means something more
than buying flock of sheep and turn
ing them into 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 one
grain alone. Give them variety and
don't forget the roots.
English shepherds believe that peo-
pie who eat mutton and leave pork
alone will never have indigestion.
Arrange your fields so that the
sheep will have good shade during
the coming summer.
1t is an easy matter to provide a
narrow trough filled three or four
inches deep with solution through
which the sheep can 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 year. Nature
provided a rapid growth of hoof to
stand the wear and tear of stony
ground but soft pastures will not wear
down the hoofs fast enough and the
broken hoof often results in disease.
If you have any old sheep, they
should be separated from the rest of
the flock, and If they are to be fat
tened, corn should be cracked for
them.
Do not make the mistake of starting
the sheep business with large flock.
You will have your hands full for the
first year or two with dozen.
The most profit to be made in sheep
is on the farm where small fiocks 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.
If sheep and lambs are fed grain
together, the lambs will fare pretty
slim. Have hole in the fence near
the barn through which the lambs can
slip and get away from the old sheep.
Have good trough out there for the
grain you feed the little fellows and
they will get their share and grow like
weeds.
Make it rule to see the sheep and
lambs every day. Count to see that
nothing has happened to them If
one is sick or otherwise in trouble,
get it out of the flock where you can
give 1t little extra care.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1914-06-19
Pets and Broken Hearts.

The dog of Mistral, the Provencal
poet. died the day after MistraPs re-
cent death. 1t is a fairly common
thing for dogs, cats, canaries and 9th
er pets to die few days or even hours
after their masters. But do they die
of grief? 1t is not likely.
A Manayunk physician examined
the corpse of canary that had sue
cumbed with its little mistress. The
canary's death, the examination
showed, was due not to broken heart,
but to scarlet fever, the malady to
which it's little mistress had herself
succumbed.
From this and from kindred post
mortems it is surmised that pets, when
they die simultaneously with their
owners, have become infected with
the disease that carried their owners
off-measles, diphtheria, typhoid. The
death-from-grief story is pretty, but
alas, it won't wash.

Yes, l suppose it is as you say;
but 1t isn't six months from now.
Everything l see reminds me of her.
When look at other women l can't
help thinking how much more beauti-
ful she is than any of them. When
the wind blows l am reminded that it
is probably adding to the color of her
cheeks. Whenever 1 pass corner
where she and l have stood together
l have strange empty feeling as
if something were gone out of my
life.
When I look up at the sky, can
not keep from remembering that it
is above her. If l could forget her
for only a day, for only an hour, ]
think might learn to hope again
but l can't get her out of my mind.
1t seems to me that the whole world

A Rare, Rare Man,

William H. Handy, short story
writer and novelist, is a great lover
of folks and makes friends with all
sorts and conditions of men. One day
while on an outing in the Ozarks he
got hill billy who was something
of character to accompany him on a
fishing excursion in order to study the
type. The two men spent the day in
the woods together and returned to
camp old friends and then Mr.. Handy
learned that he was not the only one
on the expedition who had been study
ing his companion. AS they shook
hands in parting the hill billy said
Il taken a likin' to yuh, but yuh

(By r. A. GALLIHERN

(By r. A. GALLIHER.)
Perhaps no subject is of more Inn
portance to the average farmer than
the proper care and feeding of the
teams that are relied upon to do the
farm work; and as a rule, we do not
believe that these horses receive the
care and consideration that they
should. A good horse used in COM
nonsense manner, should live to an
old age and be in condition to per-
form good work at all times.
The essential requisites for a work
ing horse are good size, quick action
and strength. A high-spirited animal
or one of great value is not the most
desirable animal for the farmer.
What we need is good walker, as
much Of the usefulness and efficiency
depends upon that quality. This fac
ulty is quite as much a matter of ed
ucation as inherited qualities.
Under ordinary circumstances it is
judicious to use mares for working
teams upon farm. Except for short
time, the period of parturition and i'm
mediately after, they are fully as well
adapted to farm work as geldings.
They also possess the advantage of
Eually bringing colts, and in event
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1914-06-19

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 to sustain
vigor and good spirits.
A team i'll fed, and consequently in
poor condition and feeble, will not ac-
complish much real hard work, and 1t
Is waste of labor to hire an expen-
sive hand to drive such team.
The harness, and particularly the
collar, should be accurately adjusted
to the horse. If the collar Is either
too tight or too loose 1t gals him and
seriously affects his breathing.
The workhorses should be fed early
in the morning, and they should have
liberal feeding. The comfort and
rest of the team will be vastly pro-
NOTED II 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 q
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 hearty meal.

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

Do not let anyone deceive you by
telling you that buck lambs will bring
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
Just 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 IS or Sc in
July.
An old eve or two may die during
the winter, but you can lose one out
of three and still make it pay to keep
them at 50 to SO per head.
The sheep get uneasy as soon as
the hot weather comes 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 not 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.
If the coarse hay in the managers is
given to sheep they will nibble a
great deal of it away.
The sheep is dainty feeder and
will not eat musty or unclean hay or
fodder. Neither will sheep drink un-
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 he 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.

A Real Need.

A Frenchman named Delaney has
invented an apparatus whereby you
can wind your clock by opening and
shutting door, the winding machine
doing it's work by the action of the
door
What is really needed, however, is
an invention that, attached to door,
will get rid of people inside of the
room. No known method has yet been
invented to accomplish this purpose.
Yet is there anything which would pro-
mote greater efficiency and comfort

SCORED ONE ON HIS RIVAL
Brown Had Overlooked Leap Year,
and Jones Was Quick to Mark
the Point.

Irving Fletcher, the well-known ad-
vertising expert, said at an advertis-
ing mems dinner at Delmonico's in
New York:
"A good advertisement never lies.
1t never deceives. For it can only
pay by making life patrons, not tran
sient ones.
"A good advertisement never lies,
but it states its case as strongly as
possible, and it avails itself of every
point, however slight There it is
like young Jones.
Young Jones proposed at Lake
wood to pretty girl, but she said IN.
certainly, swinging her slim foot in
and out of her slashed skirt:
81 like you, Mr.. Jones. But, then
like Mr. Brown, too And Mr.. Brown
is so devoted. He says he thinks
of me 365 days in the year
HUH snorted young Jones, con
temptuously. He wants a day of
every four years, does he? Well,
hope you're not taken in by any such
one-horse devotion as that"

An ingenious New York doctor has
invented bichloride of mercury tab

with the poison, so that person may
swallow corrosive sublimate, inten-

It's a capital idea, and ought to be
applied to poisons generally, and pos

applying the principle to firearms. An
