FEEDING THE EWES.

er Landing Time.
Ewes before lambing should receive
good, wholesome feed, which will
keep them in laxative condition, says
the Iowa Homestead. During the win
ter they should receive we'll cured
clover or alfalfa hay with a small
grain ration, and if possible a few
roots or a little silage, although silage
sometimes causes trouble when fed by
an inexperienced person.
The grain ration most widely recon-
mended Is one composed of peas, oats
or bran, or mixture of these, and fed
at the rate Of about half a pound

when the amount of grain may be in
creased provided the ewes have plen-
ty Of exercise.
After Landing the ewes should be
literally fed on any good succulent
feed before they are turned on pasture,
including plenty Of grain and good
hay. Scotch shepherds prefer roots,
but most men in this country feed
silage. About two pounds Of clover
hay and from one to two pounds of
grain will be required for the best
progress of the eve and the lamb. The
grain should consist of oats and bran,
with a little oil meal added. The oil
meal is particularly necessary If you
do not have silage. AS soon as the
grass has made sufficient growth the
grain may be reduced and shortly elm
mated.

By the advice Of Saul's servants he

recommended David, the son Of Jesse,

valiant man of war, prudent man, a
comely man, and they also said that
the Lord was with him oversees 1923.
Being sent for, Saul loved him greatly
and made him his armor bearer. How
strange it all seems! God moves in

all my affairs and work out in and

would seem that Jesse was an old man

Food For the Farmers Brain
CORN FEEDERS.

Keep the hopper full Of dry
mash all the time. This gives
the chickens an opportunity to
balance the grain rations fed.
The hen must have some ami
NAL food in order to produce sue
cessfully. She gathers this in
the summer time, but in the win
ter it must be provided.
Cleanliness is necessary in the
poultry house. This is an old
time and oft given piece of ad-
vice, but it still needs repeating
from time to time.
The goose is a grazing bird,
while the duck thrives with a
limited amount of green food.
Green feed is essential as
part Of the poultry winter ra-
ton. When cabbage and beets
are not available sprouted oats
can easily be fed.

Upon being hung and tested, how
the bell cracked and had to be taken
down for recasting 1t was at first de-
cided to return the bell to London for
this purpose, but local firm Of found
ers, Pass & Stow; We're employed in
stead, and the bell was broken up and
recast in March, 1853. This firm added
a certain amount of copper to the orig
inal alloy, which made the bell unsat
isfactory in its tone, so that third
casting became necessary, this time
with perfect success.
The bell was placed in its resting
place early in June, 1853, and was used
to mark the hour at which the courts
convened, to call the assembly to-
gether, and later on, when the first
mutterings Of that great struggle for
equal and just rights were heard, it's
muffed tones gave note to the resent
ment Of an angry population as they
in the shadow Of the old statehouse
gave to the flames the burning stamps
Of foreign potentate.
On July 80, 1868, the old sentinel
again called together the freemen of
the city to consider what Instructions
should be given to their representa-
tives, and it was then and there re-
solved that "the colonists are reduced
to the level Of slaves" From this time
forward the old bell spoke freely in
the cause Of freedom, and the senti-
ment engraved upon it became more
fully understood by the people.
Proclaim liberty throughout all the land
unto the inhabitants thereof.-Leviticus
XIV, 10.
On the list Of June, 1774, the flying
Of the flags at half mast and the muf-
fed tones Of the bell announced the
closing Of the port of Boston.
On April "a, 1875, the tidings Of the
conflict at Lexington reached Philadel-
phia, and at the stroke of the bell
10000 people met beheath its shadow
and swore to defend with arms the
righteousness Of the cause Of freedom.
July 4, 1875.
On the 10th Of May, 1915, the bell
again sent forth it's call for the meeting
of the second Continental congress, and
from thenceforth its measured strokes
kept time with the life throbs Of an
awakened and determined people.
July 4, 1776, the Declaration Of In
dependence was adopted. Congress was
assembled in the east room of the state
house, now known as Independence
hall.
The debate had been in progress
since June Z, when Richard Henry Lee
of Virginia rose in his place and Offer
ed his famous resolution, as follows;
"Resolved, That these united colonies
are, and Of right ought to be, free and
Independent states," thereby laying the
foundation for the immortal Declara-
ton to follow.
On that eventful day the streets Of
Philadelphia were crowded with thou
sands of citizens, anxious to learn the
decision of congress. Tradition says
that the old gray haired bell ringer Of
the statehouse had taken his post in
the steeple at an early hour that he
might lose no time in announcing to
the people that their independence was
formally declared.
Hour after hour passed. The old man
grew impatient and, muttered, "They
will never do it, they will never do it."
Suddenly he heard a shout from his
grandson. whom he had stationed be-
low to give him warning Ring! Ring!
