WEED OUT USELESS
 RAMS AND WETHERS
Keep Sheep Supplied With Salt Variety of Feed Is Best
 Keep Lambs Growing.

Weed old rams and wethers out of the flock and send them to the mar ket. They are a nuisance with ewes and small lambs.
 Don't let the sheep get half-starved for salt. If you do, when you salt them they will eat SO much they will be sick. Give some every day. In everything be regular and moderate.
 Feed rations that will keep the bowels regular Variety is what we need to aim at.
 There is little to eat in the pastures yet, so keep the sheep in. As soon as they get taste of green grass they will not want dry hay, and are apt to fall of in flesh; that you do not want, for the lambs must be kept growing.
 When your lambs get enough good milk from their mothers they will grow. It is the hungry lambs that stand around bleating and with backs bumped. It looks bad. Lively lambs are the ones that will bring you the money little later.

WEAVING THE PIGS
 IS NOT DIFFICULT
Little Fellows Should Be Given Sufficient Food to Make
 Them Independent.

If the pigs have been properly man. aged for the first month after they begin to eat, and are taking feed in amounts sufficient to make them more or less independent of the sow's milk, weaning will not be difficult matter.
 The time to wean will depend on the way the pigs are eating. If they are not thoroughly accustomed to grain and skim milk ration the time must be delayed If the SOW Is not to be bred soon there Is no harm done by letting the pigs run with her until the age of twelve weeks or longer.
 Breeders differ widely as to the age at which pigs are weaned. The ma jority wean at six to ten weeks; some wean earlier than this.
 A considerable number let the pigs run with the SOW until her instinct tells her that they are old enough to shift for themselves. If the SOW Is taken away and is still milking she may be returned to the pigs once Q day for two or three days until dry ing off is complete.

FEEDING ENSILAGE
 AND DRY ROUGHAGE
Success Depends Upon Produc- ing Most Milk at Least Cost
 Safe Rule to Follow.

No fixed rule can be laid down to feeding that will apply to all COWS alike; and yet success depends upon procuring the most milk at the least cost, from each COW in the herd.
 Cows must be fed to their full ca- pacity, to obtain the best results, but there is as great necessity not to overfeed as there Is not to underfeed.
 Care should be exercised not to feed too large an amount of grain to pro- portion to roughage.
 A safe rule to follow Is to feed twice as many pounds of roughage as of grain. If the COW will eat ten pounds of grain food and 20 pounds of roughage there will be little, if any, danger of her going off her feed.
 When feeding ensilage it is safe to estimate three pounds of ensilage to one pound of dry roughage.
 AS rule the kinds of roughage that have the greatest protein content will be found preferable to carbonaceous forage and fodder plants.

PROPER CARE FOR
 HORSES AND COLTS
Oats Go Well With Timothy Hay Straw and Corn Diet Is
 Liable to Cause Trouble.

Oats are the best general food for a horse, and go we'll with timothy hay. Once or twice a week give feed of corn and clover with bran mash. Give only what will be eaten up clean.
 Some horses are predisposed to collie, and a straw and corn diet is almost sure to cause trouble at ire quent intervals with such cases.
 Horses fed regularly often get in the habit of paving in the stable. Feed them regularly, and if not driven or used every day turn the horses out into the yard for exercise.
 Many horses are ruined by being brought into the barn too hot and left to stand in cold draft, or hitched to a post to stand. unblanketed. facing the wintry blasts.
 If you starve the colt the first win ter, he is liable to come out very thin in the spring and worth less than when weaned.
 Some farmers keep their horses on straw with just little grain in win ter. Bran should make part of such ration.
 It is believed by many that clover hay gives the horses heaves. This Is a mistake If horse is fed the prop CT quantity of clover and not over fed, there is no danger of the heaves.
 Do not give horses water immedi- ately after eating. An hour after they have finished their meal is soon enough to water them.
 The colts training must begin short ly after birth. A halter should be put on so he can be caught and handled every day. Never tease him.

 Another man would be in hurry" It was on the tip of his tongue to tell Warrington what he knew of the An des Construction company. but some thing held back the words, fear that Warrington might change his mind about seeing Elsa. Well, wherever you go and whatever you do. good luck go with you"
 There are good men in this world. sir, and I shall always remember you as one of them"
 By the way. that man Mallow: have you met him yet?"
 The quizzical expression in his eyes made Warrington laugh. No"
 'T was in hopes :" The con- sul general paused. but Warrington ignored the invitation to make known his intentions.
 He shunted further inquiry by say ing: "A letter of credit of mine was stolen last night. I had tussle in the room. and was rather getting the best of it. The thug slipped suddenly away. Probably hid the letter in his loin cloth"
 That's unfortunate"

(By J. M. BELLl
 Both for farm work and for sale, the heavy horse is good money-maker. In past years the so-called fast horse" was the ideal animal, but now the au- tomobile has driven the running horse out of business. The carriage horse of today Is a heavier animal than in days gone by.
 The farmer now who goes to work in the field, or who hauls loads on the road, cannot afford to spend his time with light team that can draw only a small load. Labor is too scarce and too high priced. Deeper blowing, and more work must be done on the same acreage. It is imperative that heavier teams must be used.
 For a number of years the weight of best selling horses on the city mar kets has steadily increased Only a few years ago horses weighing from 1900 to 1,400 pounds each were con- sidered large enough for heavy team. ing. Now the demand is for 1900

 A handclasp, and he was gone.
 "I wish" thought the consul gen eral, T could have told him about the way the scoundrel spoke of Elsa"
 And Warrington, as he sought the cafe veranda, wished he could have told the basic truth of his fighting mood; the look Mallow had given Elsa that day in Penang. Diligently he be- gan the search. Mallow and Craig were still in their rooms, doubtless sleeping of the debauch of the pre- ceding night He saw that he must wait. Luncheon he had in town.
 At four o'clock his inquiries led him into the billiard annex. His throat frightened little as he discovered the two men engaged in game of Ameri can billiards. He approached the table quietly. Their interest in the game was deep, possibly due to the wager laid upon the result; so they did not observe him. He let Mallow finish his run. Liquor had no effect upon the mans nerves, evidently, for his eyes and stroke were excellent. A miscue brought an oath from his lips, and he banged his cue upon the floor.
 Rotten luck" said Warrington sym pathetically. with the devils banter in his voice.
 Mallow spun around. stared for a moment, then grinned evilly. Heres our crow at last, Craig"
 Speaking of birds of ill-repute. the crow passes his admiration to the kite and the vulture." Warrington spoke coolly.
 Mallow looked at Craig. whc scowled back. He was beginning to grow weary at the sight of Warning ton, bobbing up here. bobbing up there. always with subtle menace He chalked his cue, got the balls into a corner and finished his string.
 "Thatll be five pounds" he said.
 And fifty quid for me-" added War rington, smiling. though his eyes were as blue and hard as arctic ice.
 "Ill see you comfortably broiled first" replied Mallow. as he tossed five sovereigns to Craig. Now. what else is on your mind?"
 Warrington took out the cigar band and exhibited it. 'I found that in my room last night. You're one of the few, Mallow. who smoke them out here. He was a husky Chinese, but not husky enough. Makes you turn a bit yellow; eh. Craig, you white-liv. cred cheat? You almost got my money belt, but almost is never quite. The letter of credit Is being reissued.

COMFORT OF HORSE
 IS OF IMPORTANCE
Remove Harness at Noon While Animal Is Eating-Remove
 All Dust and Sweat.

The work horses should be fed early in the morning and they should have a liberal feeding. The comfort and rest of the horses will be vastly pro noted if the harness is entirely re- moved at noon while they are feeding. Rub them down carefully and cleanse from dust and sweat
 Allow them plenty of time for a good meal and partial digestion before they are put to work for the after noon. It is poor policy to put then to work after eating . hearty meal.

pounds to ton. No city company can afford to hire an expensive man to drive light team. Increased supply and sale of commercial products has brought this condition.
 For these reasons the heavy horse has risen in value of late years, and the importing and breeding of heavy horses has been taken up on large scale. But the demand for heavy horses has always exceeded the sup ply. Good heavy drafters weighing around 1900 pounds find ready sale at over $500, and choice ones of this class in the largest cities bring from $400 to $500.
 There is every evidence that the heavy horse Is the coming work animal for both farm and city. and that good prices will hold, if not increase, for years to come.
 The farmer who Is in the field for making side money from his horses will be wise to breed for weight and finish.

or exci.eme-. :. They searched records, but no loss as heavy as this came to light. Even the managing director of the Bank of Burma came in for his share of annoyance. He was obliged to send out dozen cables of notifica. tion of the loss, all of which had to be paid out of accrued dividends. Thus Warrington had blocked up the ave- nues. The marvellous rapidity with which such affairs may be spread broadcast these days is the first won- der in new epoch of wonders. From Irkutsk to Auckland, from St. Johns to Los Angeles, wherever a newspa- per was published, the news flew. | Within twenty-four hours 1t would be difficult to draw against that letter as it would be to transmute baser metals into gold.
 At half past ten Warrington, appar- ently none the worse for a sleepless night, entered the private office of the consul general who, gravely and with unopened cablegram.
 ''I rather preferred to let you open it, MT. Warrington" he said. Warrington noted the lack of cor diality. but with passive regret. The consul general recovered his per and pretended to become absorbed it. the litter of papers on his desk.
