Spook-Ridd0n Babylon.

In lecture in connection with the
Egypt Exploration fund, on Burial
Customs in Mesopotamia and Egypt"
DR.. L. w. King said the spirit which
animated the Egyptians in their varied
and changing practices toward the
dead was based on affection and rev.
erence, but the Babylonian, In the
main, was prompted by fear. Ths
Babylonians were probably more
spook-ridden than any other nation
of antiquity, and their magical texts
made it clear that the most terrible
class of spirits were the ghosts OF
the dead who for some reason had
been unable to enter the underworld.
Driven to hunger and thirst, such q
ghost might roam about and fasten on
anyone with whom it had relations
in this life, and it would plague him
until he performed the rites that
could give peace. 1t was mainly to lay
the ghost and prevent it from haunt
ing" that the Babylonians were scru-
pulous in performing the due burial
rites.-London Times.

Why are pure-bred sheep the best
for mutton? Because both lambs and
sheep of the medium grade lack the
condition and quality necessary to
bring the best prices on the market.
Poorly bred sheep. as a rule. have
long loosely coupled bodies with little
spring of rib and rough outline. and
are coarse and often paunchy. This
class of animals is not desirable. and
market buyers make the best of their
bad points.
A good thing to remember when
lambing time comes on: A lamb that
is 30 badly chilled that 1t appears 20
be dead, may be revived by pouring
down its throat q half pint Of warm
milk, into which q tablespoonful OF
gin has been poured. II there Is no
gin in the house. dip the lamb in
q tubful of warm water. dry 1t on with
q rough cloth and place 1t near the
stove. Get some warm milk into its
stomach II possible, and in few min
utes it will be as frisky as ever.
A bunch of sheep will clean up the
cornfield in which the stalks are left
standing. in fine shape. They strip
OF the blades and pick up every kerr
mel of stray corn left on the ground.
The great loss of lambs is. in some
instances, due almost entirely to the
fact that the ewes are allowed to run
down and become weak before wean-
ing time.
Ewes with lamb need good attention
now. They should not be fed enough
to make them overfat. but should be
kept in q gaining condition. so that
at weaving time they will be strong
and sufficiently fieshed to supply plen.
ty of milk.
The quality of the market lamb de-
ponds largely upon the first four weeks
of its life. Given q good boost then
he will, with reasonably good care
prove very satisfactory at market
time.
II sheepmen will take the pains to
dip their sheep at least twice before
the winter sets in they will save much
loss from ticks and scab. This takes

FALL LITTER IS profitable

Properly managed, the fall litter Of

By springtime they are at an age
to get along with q minimum Of grain
until the cheaper feeds are available
in the fall BY this plan they are
not marketed until year to fourteen
months old, but they have been pro.
duced more cheaply.
They have been fed most grain
when they were young and could
make the best use Of it. and they
were old enough when June and July
came to get along without much
grain. These are the most difhcult
