a deep reverie.
Now that the quest VAS practically
ended he had begun to think about his
own part In 1t and reckon on his re-

Long association with Wilkerson had
shown him that he had nothing to ex-
pect from him unless by an appeal to
his sel1shness.
There was but one person who might
reward him-the woman they both
loved. Jean Darneli.
His mind went back to his first days
of acquaintance with her Ia New York.
and he seemed again to feel the soft
threads of the web she wove about
him.
She had found him q young man at
the precise point where a woman may
either make or mar one for life.
He had been an easy prey for her
tigerish desire for a slave. He had
spent his little money lavishly upon
her. without thought Of other reward
than to be near her. until Wilkerson
had appeared out Of the darkness of
her past.
Even then he had still been faithful

success meant that he (Drake) would

CARE OF PREGNANT EWES.
CIover Hay and Roots Make an Excel

c'over Hay and Roots Make an Excel
lent Winter Feed.
An excellent ration is composed of
clover hay, two. to three pounds, and
roots. two to three pounds per day.
This is sufficient except when ewes
are thin. in which case q meal mix
ture also should be fed at the rate OF
about half pound per day. A good
meal mixture consists Of oats, two
parts; bran. one part, and linseed oil
cake or peas. one part. Ewes lamb
ing in February, March or April should
be well prepared with the use of the
above ration.
The most economical use of rough
ages is the secret of successful sheep
feeding. If good clover hay is absent
the cheaper roughages must be supple
mented with grain. Pea straw, un-
thrashed. is an excellent substitute
for clover hay. Pea straw. thrashed
must be supplemented with grain.
Fine grass hays may require an addi-
ton of some grain in order to take
the place of clover hay. 1t would be
better to feed coarse grass hays to
some other class of stock
Ensllage may take the place of roots
to within a month of lambing, at
which time ensilage should be stopped
and roots gradually decreased until
after lambing.
For feeding sheep the roots may be
either mangels. turnips OF sugar beets,
except in the case of rams, where tur-
nips only should compose the root ra-
ton. - Dominion Experiment Station

One man has the novel system for

a somewhat hazardous method, how

New, clean straw should invariably
be put in for bedding, and this should
be changed frequently. The spray

be put aside until the next season, but
should be kept in working condition

cheap form of health insurance on the

Getting Sheep on Full Rations.

When grain has been fed while
sheep are on pasture it is an easy
matter to change from pasture to yard
and put Oh fattening rations. Begin
ming with a fourth pound of grain
daily. the amount may be gradually
increased by fourth of pound the
second week and so on. At the end
of the fourth week the animals should
be cleaning up a pound or more of
grain each day. By the end of two
months daily allowance Of one and
a half to two pounds may be fed.
1t is seldom advisable to feed more
than two pounds of grain a head
daily. The good shepherd watches his
sheep and observes the first indication
Of bad appetite. When noticed he cor
rects the trouble at once by cutting
