Fruit Salad.

dish is made by slicing or cutting into
dice various kinds of fruits, fresh or
preserved, such as peaches, apricots,
bananas, pineapple, orange etc. Ar

Place the bowl on the ice for about
two hours. Just before serving add a
small glass of liquor, such as Kirsch-

Try this method of mending lace
curtains: After washing carefully,
place curtain on frame. Take a needle
and use thread according to curtain.
Do not knot but tie end of thread to
curtain and then proceed to weave in

tern as you can. Small holes may be
drawn together. For the larger holes

SHEEP DURING WARM SEASON
Particular Attention Should BE Paid
to Water Supply-Plaee the Flock
Near a Running Stream.

Particular attention should be Civ
en- the sheep in warm weather rela-
tive to their supply of water. You
know, many old fogy farmers still
contend that sheep can get all the
water they require from the dews.
This is certainly a mistaken idea, and
one that is absolutely cruel, for sheep
need water as much as any OF the
other farm animals, though they do
not drink as much as some others.
l suppose It is fact that sheep can
subsist on the dews as their means
OF water, but they never do SO well
as those that have all they can drink,
says a writer in Farm Progress.
When an animal is forced to live on
less than the normal water supply, IL
is sure to be very uncomfortable. To
do we'll and put on flesh, they should
have running stream OF water where
they can reach 1t.
Many sheep raisers have a tendency
to let the sheep take care of them
selves, after shearing time has passed,
and there are so many other farm
duties demanding attention. Where
there are young lambs. they should be
well cared for in order to make the
best growth possible before market
ing in the fall They are hard to get
In shape to sell when they have been
forced to look out for themselves.
II one happens to have a running
stream OF water in the sheep pasture,
he may consider himself fortunate. A
pond is next best, and often one is

SOWS NEED GOOD ATTENTION
Neglect at Farrowing Time viii Eat

Give the SOW all the water she
wants for the first "a hours after the
pigs are born, but no grain. Take the
chill off the water in cold weather.
For three or four days after the first
"a hours, give plenty of water, but
feed grain and milk sparingly. Then
slowly increase until, when the pigs
are three weeks old, the SOW is having
all the feed she will consume. Give
the pigs exercise and sunshine from
birth, but do not allow them to get
damp nor to be exposed to the wind
When the SOW is given a warm, rich
slop, or other milk-producing feeds
just after her pigs are born, strong
milk flow is forced. The newborn
pigs get too much and have diarrhea,
which often kills them. They cannot
take all the milk, and the sow's udder
becomes inf1amed and caked. When
the pigs suckle the pain becomes so
intense that In desperation she jumps
up, kills and eats them.

mails Full Of Spirit That Want to
Get Along Rapidly.

A slow moving colt can be taught
TO walk fast by hitching 1t beside a
tast walker and urging it to keep up.
although 1t requires good handling TO
obtain full success with this method.
The best results are secured with
animals full of spirit that want TO

young horse that is full of spirit, il It
IS allowed to work too hard, will be-
come too tired. lose its ambition and
develop into q slow walker. The best
training is to use the young stock at
such light work that they can move
along rapidly without feeling it, let.
ing them have only enough OF It SO
nat they will get into the habit OF
moving rapidly and keep up the trait
after they are older.

Generally Confined to Hens Kept In
Small Yards and Results From
Lack Of Animal Food.

The egg.eHting habit when general
in n flock of hens is hard to break.
The habit 10 generally confined to
hens kept in confinement or small
yards. and usually results from idle.
ness or lack of animal food in the ra-
tion. Or the habit may have its be.
ginning In n flock from the accidental
breaking OF eggs.
Hens kept in confinement should be
supplied the food elements that are
obtainable on range. Animal food
must be supplied, and provision must
be made to keep the hens busy by
compelling them to scratch in deep
litter for the grain portion of their
ration. Shell-making material must
also be supplied. since the ordinary
grains are deficient in lime, and soft.
shelled eggs will likely result unless
oyster-shell, or old plaster is kept be.
fore the hens all the time.
Egg eating can be prevented by pro-
viding low.covered nests. The nests
should be so low that the hen barely
has room TO creep on and OFF and
cannot stand erect in the nest When
unable to stand erect, It is impossible
for the hen to break the eggs with
her beak. The nests should also be
darkened. This can be done by hav.
ing the nests along the rear wall. with
the opening to the nests facing the
wall. The eggs should be gathered
several times a day.
