PRACTICAL HINTS
FOR THE SHEPHERD
While Dipping the Sheep Just 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 1t 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" 1t 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 SIS or IS 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 81 to So per head.
The sheep get uneasy az 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. II the pastures are not high
enough so that they can get all they
want to eat, bring them down at night
and give them nice. bright look Of
hay and 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 1t 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 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.

Sheep raising means something more
than buying 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 one
grain alone. Give them a variety and
don't forget the roots
English shepherds believe that PEG
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.
It 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 1t will prevent new cases
One of the necessary things in the
care of sheep is the pairing Of their
hoofs. at least twice a 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
{ 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 q large flock.
You will have your hands full for the
first year or two with a dozen.
The most profit to be made in sheep
is on the farm where small flocks 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
ship 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 1t 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 it little extra care.

EYE STRAIN
Relieved by Quitting Coffee.

Many cases of defective vision are
caused by the habitual use OF coffee.
It is said that in Arabia where cot.
fee is used in large quantities, many
lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea
contains the same drug, caffeine, as
coffee.
N. J. woman writes to The poim
concerning eye trouble and coffee.
She says:
My son was for years troubled with
his eyes. He tried several kinds of
glasses without relief. The optician
said there was defect in his eyes
which was hard to reach.
He used to drink coffee, as we all
did, and finally quit it and began to
use Postum. That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
glasses and has had no trouble with
his eyes since.

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 acs
complish much real hard work, and 1t
is a 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
a liberal feeding The comfort and
rest of the team will be vastly pro-

moved at noon while they are feeding.
Rub them down carefully and cleanse

Allow them plenty of time for a

work right after eating hearty meal.

Bosnia, to pay regal visit Europe
and all humanity might we'll keep
their eyes glued to the automobile
which is to pass through the badly
paved streets of Serajevo at 10 o'clock
in the morning. First there is a bomb
explosion. A typographer has thrown
it. 1t doesn't hit the automobile: in
stead it hits the elbow of the arch
duke. 1t goes off second later in the
street, some yards behind the royal
car. The chauffeur, whose wrong
twist of the wrist half an hour later
is going to help plunge into the great
est war mankind has ever known, has
put on speed and saved the royal pair.
Destiny has decided that it is not at

duke shall die, but at 1O:4O and that
not a typographer's bomb but a high
school boys hand shall cut the rope
from which hangs over the precipice
of war the worlds civilization and
peace. The car speeds on. The arch
duke is annoyed. When he reaches
the town hall he says to the mayor,
who has made a speech of welcome.
These speeches are all right, but
what about bombs? You say I'm well

go slowly. The street is narrow.

wrist of the auto driver, the car slows
up as it nears Prinzip. Here they are,
a few feet apart, the revolver and the
target An inexorable fate has
brought them together in this side
street. The target seems to be only
a man, an archduke. But it isn't. The
real target is that slender thread
from which hangs-over the preci-
pice of war--all that civilization has
gained through centuries of upward
