SPRINGTIME.

How gladly do we hail the Sprinetime;
With its sunshine and it's showersl
How eagerly thru woods we wander;
Seeking for the first Mayflowers.
Lo! all nature is awaking!
Budding trees and laughing rills,
Nature spreads her beautious carpets,
over valleys, over hills.
Happy birds announce her coming
With their glad rejoicing songs
Waking up the early blossoms
To greet her in a gladstone throng.
Human hearts now feel the magic:
Tis the magic touch of Spring
And the fragrant breath of violets
Tell that Summers on the wing. .
Then gladly we hail thee fair Spring
time!
Glad season of the year
For after Winters stormy blasts,
You bring our hearts good cheer.

MANAGEMENT OF
SHEEP AND COST
MUTTON NOT POPULAR BECAUSE
CARE IN SLAUGHTERING
NOT USED.
SHOULD REDUCE COST
NOT SACRIFICE FLOCK
Mutton Improves with "Ripening''
Forty Degrees the Proper
Temperature.

The principal difficulties in comput-
ing the cost OF maintenance of sheep
are that they are usually kept in con-
nection with other stock, and that Of
tentimes they consume feeds that
would otherwise go to waste. There
is also a wide range in the cost of
maintenance in the different parts of
the farming section, due mostly to
climatic conditions. In the South
where little or no shelter is provided
and where the sheep subsist almost en-
tirely upon pasture, the cost is very
low; but where sheep must be housed
and fed for several months of the
year, as in New England, the other ex-
treme is found.
The cost OF maintaining sheep has
been estimated at from so cents to
more than So per head. The Tariff
Board reported an average cost of
S2.44 for fine wool and $2.7S for cross
bred sheep in Ohio and neighboring
states. The cost of maintenance I'm the
farming section would probably av-
erage between these latter figures.
But even With the average cost Civ
en-, it is impossible TO calculate before
hand the profits of sheep husbandry.
Those having had experience are
aware of this fact. Differences in eX-
penditures and receipts. due to man
agement. location, fluctuation of mar
ket prices, and accidents, make the
most careful calculations misleading.
While il is impossible to calculate
beforehand the profits, and while it is
difficult TO obtain the exact cost of
maintenance, it is nevertheless very
important that records of RECEIPTS
and expenditures, as complete as pos
sible, be kept of the flock. These would
not only indicate whether a man was
making a profit or losing money, but
would show the cost of keeping sheep
TO be made up Of a number of items,
several of which would probably be
capable of considerable reduction. The
items generally capable OF considerabl
reduction are labor, forage, de-
probation on equipment and breed
ing stock and mortality.

THE LAST SHOT IN

'Mayn't j have a kiss befo' j go?'
he asked with a trembling voice,

She received the kiss passively;
then they parted TO go in different di-
rections, the man taking the bucket.
the girl the gun. When he reached
the spring he filled the bucket, at the
same time casting his eye over the
clearing. He knew that one of the
Gordon of Griggses was not far away;
but, seeing no one, he started across.
He hadn't gone far before he heard
voice:
Hello thar. Yo' Mahuldy! whar
yo' goin,?
He kept on without replying. Pres
emily he heard the same voice say,
"Mahuldy, eff that's yo', yo' come
we're or I'll shoot at yo,"
Backus kept on without reply. Then
suddenly he saw a sun flash on rifle
barrel, and for a moment he hesitated.
Then came the rifles crack, but no
bullet came near him. He shuddered
for he believed that Mahulda had
shown herself and had received the
fire. Hearing no further sound, he
ran 10 the wood beyond the clearing.
The Griggses, who had fired suppos-
eddy at Backus and seen him fall, ran
up TO him. There lay Mahulda, pale
and bleeding
Quite likely the bullet that hit her
saved her life, Her own people could
not kill her, and the sacrifice she had
made filled their hearts with compass
sion. When she recovered meeting
was called among the Griggses, and
Mahulda was sent 10 the Backuses
with a proposition 10 end the feud.
