CERTAINLY DID THE WORK
Effective Form Of Isolation, Though

Dogs Owner.

Here's one Of Walter Kelly's dog
stories. Walter doesn't vouch for II,
but it comes from a friend of his, so
it's probably all right, says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
Ii seems that Kelly left town on a
business trip some time ago, and left
his blue-ribbon dogs in the care of a
man who was supposed to know all
about dogs. In about a week this man
wrote that one of the dogs had devel-
oped symptoms hat indicated mango,
and asked for instructions. Kelly
wired back as follows:
isolate dog at once. Take nc
chances of mango spreading"
Sufficient instructions, and within
the ten-word limit. When the owner
got back home he asked the guardian

PROPER ATTENTION TO EWES
Severe Losses Result From Attempt
ing to Handle Early Lambs
Without Accommodations.

The flock owner who breeds ais
and early spring months should pro-
vide favorable conditions at the right
time. Severe losses result from at
tempting to handle early lambs with
out having adequate accommodations
to provide comfort for the flock,
The first essential to success in han
ding early lambs is a comfortable and
well arranged sheep barn. 1t should
be well lighted, dry and properly VEN
tilated, and there must be plenty OF
pens and facilities for caring for each
eve as soon as she shows evidence
Of lambing.
We have found 1t desirable to keep
on hand an adequate supply of light
partitions and hangers for construct
ing pens for the ewes as fast as need
ed. In this way the flock can have the
run of the whole sheep barn or it can
be quickly subdivided as the occasion
may demand. 1t will be found very
convenient to have a light manager
that can be made fast to the corner OF
each pen, so that roughage may be
fed regularly without being trampled
under foot and made un~palatable.
Ewes should haNH plenty of good,
nutritious food during the winter, not
only to maintain a good flesh condi-
ton, but TO nourish the unborn lambs.
Roughage alone is not enough. A
light ration Of grain should be fed
regularly. A proper mixture of oats,
barley, corn and peas will give good
results. For roughage, clover or alfal-
ia hay and ensilage will furnish about
the right proportions of bulk and sue
culence.

continued and, too, II the Defeating
public is to secure its regular quota at
prices below p%rohibitiye levels.
The nation has in recent years
drawn too heavily upon the source of
fat beef output, without due regard to
the future of the supply. Farmers of
the corn belt have been prone to look
to the west and southwest for their
supplies of feeding cattle, not realizing
that the increasing population is con
stantly calling for greater home pro-
duction of fat beeves.
Time has arrived when the west, a
few years back the breeding ground
for the cor belt feeders, is no longer
able to supply feeding cattle to the
farmers Of Missouri, Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio except at almost fac
steer prices. The situation is growing
more acute each year. Within the
past two years the effect OF home pro-
duction of beef steers in the states OF
the middle west has been a relatively
shorter supply of beef than consump-
tive capacity required, and the results
have been higher average prices for
fat steers than realized in thirty years
past. But instead of general prosper.
ity it has been prosperity for the few,
because cattle raising and feeding has
declined.

$4,000 FOR STAMP ALBUMS
Late Earl of Crawford's British Col.
lection Sold in London Includes
Rarest of Specimens,

London.-The late earl of Craw-
ford's collection of British stamps
was sold for $4,000, The purchasers
are Edward Healey & Co. of London
The sale of the British stamps from
this philatelic collection leaves in the
possession of the Crawford family
only the American stamps collected
by the late earl. All his other stamps
we're sold in 1912. They included
some of the rarest specimens extant
and filled 60 volumes. The price paid
for them was not made public.
The late earl of Crawford, who Gied
in February last, was elected presi-
dent of the Philatelic Society of Eng
land on the accession to the throne OF
King George, who is an enthusiastic
philatelist and was president of the
society for many years. 1t was an
nounced at the time that the earl OF
Crawford's collection was second only
to that of the king, who has been col
lecting since his boyhood.
Among the rare stamps of this coun-
try in the collection which apparently
has not yet been disposed of are the
provisional issues by postmasters be
tween the years 1S45 and 1S47, prior
to the earliest general issues by the
American government. One of the
stamps is the very rare 2O-cent st.
Louis specimen, with a picture of two
bears. This stamp is valued at $1,000.
Another rarity is the Annapolis five.
cent envelope stamp of 1916, the value
of which is estimated also at $500.

IMPORTANCE OF CLEAN SEED
Corn Crop of Country Has Been In
creased Millions of Bushels by
Good Seed Selection.

No farmer can get any one to take
the same pains in grading his seed
that he would himself. Some farmers
claim that it does not pay to clean
grain.
The corn crop of this country has
been increased millions Of bushels by
intelligent seed selection. All other
grain crops can be improved by grad
ing the seed, so that only good, plump,
healthy grains, free from all foul
weed seeds may be sown.
The tanning mill, judiciously used
will do much to increase the yield of
every small grain crop and assist in
keeping our fields free from noxious
weeds.
1t will take cookie out Of wheat,
%buckthorn, plantain out of clover, in
fact, it can be adjusted S as 20 han

free from noxious weeds, then do not
hesitate to invest a few dollars in

COLD FRAMES MORE POPULAR
Great Many Gardeners Have Realized
1t Is Profitable to Grow Some
Vegetables Under Sash.

Frames are used much more largely
in all parts of the country than a few
years ago, notwithstanding the fact
that greenhouse construction has been
more active. A great many gardeners
have realized that 1t pays to grow
some vegetables under 3x6-foot sash.
This makes it a good business propo-
sition and when frames are used on a
large scale too much care cannot be
exercised in the preparation Of the
soil. 1t should be fine, fairly level and
contain liberal amounts Of sand and
humus. IL to be used in the summer,
the cross-bars should be easily re-
moved so that wheel-hoes or horse cul-
tivators can be used without difficulty,
running from end to end of the long
frames. The sash should fit snugly on
the side boards SO hat as little cold
as possible will be admitted under the
sash. Lettuce and radishes are espe'
cially desirable for frame culture.

Care of Small Erujts.

Fruit OF small size on berry bushes
Is not always chargeable TO poor varl-
cites, but is usually due to poor cul-
ture and no pruning. Currants are
largely borne on wood three or four
years old. Wood that is older than
this should be pruned out and enough
young canes allowed to take their
place. This may be done at any time
after the fruit is ripe. Keep the
plants well cultivated and fertilizo
with barnyard manure.
