Aroused Painful Memories.

All Farmer Hayseed's hands were

they used to come round to their
masters home, and after much sing

gratuity. This Christmas being an
extremely dark night, they took a
stable lantern with them, and ar.
ranged themselves on Hayseed's lawn.

PROPER TIME TO WEAN COLT
Youngster Should Be Accustomed tc
Eat Hay and Grain Before Re-
moval-Put Mare on Dry Feed.

The colt should be allowed to re.
main with the mare until II has be-
come accustomed to eat grain and
hay before 1t is weaned. In nearly
all cases 1t will be best to feed the
mare for at least several weeks be-
fore the colt is removed with ground
oats and wheat bran. y
Give the mare roomy, well-bedded
box stall, so the colt can eat beside
her. This is one of the easiest and
quickest ways of teaching the colt to
eat.
Give the colt good blue grass and
white clover pasture. but put the mare
on dry feed. This will help to dry
up her milk without causing a swollen
udder.
While 1t is not necessary to par
ticularly push the growth of the colt.
II is very essential that a steady
growth be maintained and generally
II will pay to feed a little grain, un'
less the pasture is unusually good
Ground oats and wheat bran. say one
to two pints per day, fed dry will pro-
mote growth of bone and muscle and
a well-developed healthy animal.
Corn is not suitable food for e
young growing animal.

MAKING MONEY WITH SHEEP
Cost Of Raising is Small Compared
With High Prices They Bring
Increase Fertility Of Soil.

Tie cost of raising sheep is small
compared With the high prices they
command or with the cost of produc-
ton CT any other farm animal. The
Lincoln, Cotswold and Leicester are
probably the three largest breeds of
sheep-if any favor in size the Lin
coin probably has it. A practical
breeder says: "If want a large-grow-
ing lamb, to put ON the market at six
or eight weeks old, will use larger
breed than the Southdown, which
might use IL / was after a mutton
chop. For such lambs | am partial to
the Oxford, but the Hampshire might
give as good satisfaction" Sheep are
a good medium for increasing the fer
tility of the farm of the man of limited
means. A dozen ewes, properly cared
for, will soon raise lambs enough to
stock your farm with sheep. The esti-
mate is that five sheep can be kept
on what one COW will consume. With
good, bright, wheat straw and half a
pound of corn daily, breeding ewes
and store sheep will winter nicely.

PLAN NEW DUBLIN CATHEDRAL.
Roman Catholics Likely to Erect
House Of Worship Worthy Of the
Irish Capital.

Roman Catholic Dublin's desire for
a great city cathedral is likely to be
satisfied at last. The present pro.
cathedral in Marlborough street has
never been regarded as anything more
than a stop-gap. The two fine cathe-
drals in the city, st. Patrick's and
Christ Church, are, of course, the
property Of the Church of Ireland.
Some time ago the corporation &C
quired a site at Ormond Market, on
the northern quays, for the erection of
workmen's dwellings. The scheme
was never popular and is open to
grave objection.
The Roman Catholic archbishop of
Dublin has now offered to purchase
the Ormond Market area as a site for
a cathedral at the amount which the
corporation paid for 1t.
The suggestion for Roman Catho-
lie cathedral at this spot came from
Prof. Patrick Geddes, who advocated
a new artery of traffic which would
bring the two Protestant cathedrals
into line with a new Roman Catholic
building.

FEEDING ALFALFA TO SWINE
No Eetter or More Practicable Method
Known Than That of Giving Hay
to Animals in Rack.

There does not appear to be any
more practicable method of grinding
hay for hogs than by feeding the hay
via a good rack.
A few years ago some enthusiast
wrote a story about alfalfa tea, which
he said was the finest thing on earth;
that the tea extracted all the animal
food in the alfalfa and at the same
line left the plant food for the soil.
~ giving the tea to the hogs they
would gain their weight. and then you
could scatter the stewed alfalfa back
on the land. The story found its way
into one of the eastern publications
and the western experiment stations
have been flooded with inquiries ever
since.

worthless dogs. The only remedy fol
this condition in most cases consists in
high dog tax and enforcement of the
laws now on the statute books. Owing
to the scarcity of reliable help, the rails.
ing Of market lambs will prove more
remunerative than dairying. The farm

ANIMALS TO TALK TO MAN
Noted German Scientist Satisfied That
Condition VIII Be Reached
In the Future.

Some day man will talk to his
dog and his dog will talk to him. So
will the man talk to birds OF the air
II will be then that all animal and
bird life becomes articulate and a
widening of cur cosmic horizon, now
undreamed of, will result" This was
the statement at Los Angeles recent.
ly, of r. L. Garner, noted philologist
and tutor of Maeterlinck, who has
spent rs years In the wilds of the
Congo studying the chimpanzee and
the gorilla. From these two animals,
Garner believes will be strung the first
twin cables from which scientists will
hang a bridge on which man and his
lesser brothers OF the world will meet
in oracular converse.
"A dream, you say?" he continued.
Cannot the bee teach us a higher
communism, the quick, effective elm
ination Of the unfit and shirker? Can
not the birds tell us their secret of
flying? Would we not like to know
why the oriole, the oven bird or castle
building ant are SO much better en-
gineers than we are? l believe the
day will come when they will be able
to tell us. In many respects the goril-
la or chimpanzee Is far more civilized
than man. You never did or never
will hear of either abandoning their
wives"
After spending a vacation in Los
Angeles Mr.. Garner intends to return
to the Congo for further study of the
animals found there.
