ANCIENT FLOATING PALACE.
The Wonderful Ship Built For Hero,
kinu of Syracuse,

The antiquity of ships may not be
gagged. for in Genesis it is recorded
that ships were even old on the Medi-
tcrrancan i'll the days Of Jacob. Fully
1880 years before Christ, Ammon built
long and tall ships with sails on the
Red sea. Ninety years later the ship
Argo was built, the first Greek YES
sci which vpltured to pass through the
sea without sight of land, being guided
only by the Stars"
The wonderful vessel built for Hero.

wonder. Tho craft was constructed

FEEDING NOTING HENS.
No Attempt Should Be Made to Force
the Birds In This Matter.

The annual mott. which starts with
the arrival of dog days. is a most crit
ical time i'll the life of hens. Shedding
old feathers ana growing new ones
come when their vitality is at Il low
ebb. writes 7. e. Quisenberry in the
American Agriculturist In a normal
mott about four months are required
for Il complete change of plumage, the
first feather beginning to fall about
July |. At first the egg production does
not materially decrease. but as the proc
e>s advances the drain on the system
increases until the production grad
ually diminishes toward Sept. l..
Usually egg laying will not commence
again until the new set of feathers is
complete.
If. however. the poultryman is fortu-
nate enough to bring his hens success
fully through the molt and get them
laying by mid-Novemher. the fowls
will probably continue to lay through
out the winter, Thus poultrymen wish
ing to produce winter eggs for market
are very anxious to get their hens
through the mott at an early date.
In order to accomplish this end some
advocate forcing the mott. This may
be done by practically starving the
hens for a week or ten days and then
! putting them on a heavy ration of rich
food. While this locs cause a quick
mott. experimental evidence does not
show it %promotive of good later e"g
production. This is probably due to
! the general constitutional shock caused
by the starving process followed by
heavy feeding. The general consensus
of opinion is that it is best to let nature
take its course. while nan simply sees

This was made necessary for mill

the material from which our warmest
garments are made. as we'll as the
hide, which gives us a fine quality of
leather. No other animal will bring us
such quick returns for the cash in
vested. with the possible exception of
the milk COW. writes a correspondent
of the Rural New Yorker. Another
point worth considering is the mini
mum amount of labor which the sheep
require for their care. although they
will respond to a little extra attention
Just as any animal will.
There is opportunity in sheep grow
ing to specialize along several different
lines. mutton or lamb on the hoof or
dressed, dollhouse lambs. pure bred
| stock for breeding and exhibition our
poses. and always with this important
item in mind. the annual wool crop.
Sheep may also very frequently be
utilized in greatly aiding the clearing
up of wild or waste land. The assist
ance they can render in cleaning new
land preparatory to breaking up is Of
great value. as they are good foragers
and will browse on young brush and
sprouts and help kill them out.
Sheep are no more susceptible to
their peculiar ailments than other
stock are to their natural enemies and
diseases, and with the high prices pre-
vailing for sheep and their products it
would seem that many of our farmers,
particularly those living in our rough.
hilly sections, would nter this field of
opportunity; which is certainly very
promising.
There is no best breed of sheep, any
| more than there is a best breed of
cows. horses or poultry, Some breeds
excel others for certain purposes-there
are the large framed mutton types,
her the heavy Shearing NerinO type
and some that have d tendency to
breed out of the natural season. which
is necessary for dollhouse lamb produc-
ton, like the Dorset. So any one enter
ing this business must determine for
himself the purpose for which he IS to
grow them and then select his stock
with that object and the size of his
pockctbook before him. always bearing
in mind that it costs no more to feed
and house pure bred stock than scrubs
and that the opportunities for profit
are vastly greater.
