PROPER FENCING FOR SHEEP
Always Looms Up as Serious Problem
to Those Interested In Keeping
a Few Of the Animals.


To those interested in getting few.
sheep on the farm the fencing prob
lem always looms up as a most serious
difficulty. 1t does not require heavy
fence to hold sheep. Barbed wire,
however, is most unsatisfactory fenc-
ing for sheep.
The best kind of fence is one made
of woven wire from 80 to AZ inches In
height, having from five to nine hori-
zontal wires and from 16 to 20 stays
or vertical wires to the rod.
Any woven fence coming inside
these limits if put on to good posts
from IA to 16 feet apart will make a
satisfactory fence for turning sheep.
With a S0-inch woven wire it is al
ways desirable to place at least one
barbed wire on top.
When building fence to turn sheep
it might just as well be so construct
ed as to turn all classes of farm ami
mails.
Where it is desired to fence against
hogs it will be necessary to have q
barbed wire next to the ground as well
and somewhat closer mesh and
heavier wire must be used.

SUMMER DISEASE or CATTLE
Infectious Sore Eyes Cause Many
Animals to Go 6Iind-Spread
Through Medium of Flies.
(By GEORGE H GLOVER, Colorado
Experiment Station.)

(By GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado
Experiment Station.)
There is a disease among cattle,
seen mostly in the summer, affecting
the eyes and causing many of them
to go blind. This is an infectious
sore eyes, and by cattlemen on the
range is spoken of as pink eye" OF
cattle.
This disease is undoubtedly infec-
tious and spreads from one animal to
another, probably through the medium
of flies. The disease runs its course
in an animal in from one to two weeks
and may result in total blindness,
though usually the sight is not i'm
paired. Only one eye may be affected.
The first symptoms is profuse flow
of tears. Soon the eye becomes very
sensitive to light and is kept con-
stantly closed. The eyeball becomes
clouded and gives the appearance Of
film over the eye.
Animals affected with this disease
should be confined in comfortable
stall with the light excluded and given
laxative, nourishing food.
A simple treatment consists Of
bathing the eyes with strong solu-
ton of boric acid, or perhaps what
will be still better, a few drops of the
following mixture may be placed in
the eyes with a dropper several times
a day: Add half grain of zinc sui
plate and ten grams of boric acid to
an ounce of distilled water.
The animal should be protected
from the flies, as they greatly increase
the irritation to the eyes and probably
spread the infection to other animals.

ONLY chanoed one shoe.

While an East side matron was bus
lily preparing to go to the theater the
other afternoon, a gossipy neighbor
came to the front door. The woman
stopped in the middle of the process
of putting on her best shoes and
talked to the neighbor for some time.
When the neighbor left she looked at
the clock and saw she would have to
hurry. So she hastily finished dress
ing and made dash for the car.
She noticed a young man watched
her all the way downtown. She
searched her coat thoroughly for a
stray raveling, but found none.
After attending the theater she
boarded a car and still noticed that
she attracted attention. She followed
one girls eye and saw that it centered
on the bottom Of her dress. Looking
to discover the cause she found that
in her haste she had only changed one
of her shoes and on her left she wore
a patent kid shoe, while on the other
there was a gunmetal calf shoe!-In.

DIET FOR THE BRAIN-WoRKER
Should Be That Nourishine to the
Whole Body, With Special Refer
ence to Nervous System.

A great deal has been said about
the value of certain articles as brain
food, and one of the pet theories OF
popular physiology has been that fish
and other substances composed large
ly of phosphorus are the most appro-
pirate diet for brain-workers. But
modern science is emphasizing that
the best food for the brain is that
which nourishes the whole body. with
special reference to the nervous sys-
tenn.
Brain power is largely an express
sion through the nerves of bodily vi
tally. In discussing this point in a
recent treatise. DR.. George M. Beard
says that the diet of brain-workers
should be of large variety, delicately
served, abundantly nutritious, of which
fresh meat should be prominent con
stituent.
In vacations, or wherever it is de-
sired to rest the brain. fish may, to a
certain extent, take the place of meat.
He says we should select those arti.
cles that are most agreeable to our
individual tastes and so far as pos
sible we should take our meal amid
pleasant social surroundings.
In great crises that call for unusual
exertion we should rest the stomach.
that for the time the brain may work
the harder, but the deficiency of nu-
triton ought always to be supplied in
the first interval of repose.

was trackless. Yet they had nearly
