CARE FOR FATTENiNG LAMBS
Worth While to Remember That Feed
Lot Should Be Kept Free From
Other Animals.

Many people are of the opinion that
a sheep is nothing but scavenger
that needs little attention, but 1t Will
be found that the more care and atten-
ton the lambs receive the greater the
profits will be. Among the items OF
good care In fattening lambs the fol-
lowing are worth remembering: The
feed lot should be kept free from other
animals. Lambs should be fed with
regularity. Quiet in the fed lot is
important. Feed troughs should be
kept as clean as possible. Salt is nee
essary and should be before them at
all times in a separate trough. Lambs
do not need much shelter, but good
windbreak is necessary and an open
shed whereby their coats and feet can
be kept dry gives the best results.

no profits attend. Mr.. Crulls work

It was his first ambitious venture in

Sometimes a simple gown is so al

different to current styles because it is
destined to outlive them. In the pic

the modes of today and those of yes
terday and tomorrow. 1t has perma-

Nothing more unusual than a print

all that-but more like a soda than a

All this was of no moment to Moore.
He glanced anxiously at Rorke Vivian.
He was the Oldest of the party. He
had done London, Paris, New York IN
a journalistic way, had written three
books, spoke little, and then to pur-
pose. He sat now, his finely chiseled
face half hidden by his hand, and said
nothing!
There was where the whip scourged,
there lay the bitter sting for Moore!
One word or look Of appreciation from
Vivian would have been more to the
aspiring young writer than all the
others might put in volumes.

close, as though all this were a mask
to conceal some unusual emotion. He
rather evaded Moore, the latter
thought. When Vivian was gone the
group broke up. Moore was glad OF it..
His soul was bruised. He wished to
be alone, to think.
"It fell fat" he soliloQuized as he
reached the outer air. Il won't try

He thrust the manuscript into an in
side coat pocket with savage punch
of his fist. Then he braced for long
walk. He was emptying out of his
mind all the grand plans he had for a
story, il his colleagues had given him
the least encouragement especially
Vivian.
A favorite stroll Of his was along
the city edge, where broken stretch
had been developed into striking pic
turesqueness, and number Of fine
residences had exclusive location. At
one spot a pretty rustic bridge
spanned a gully with hayward
stream trickling through. He paused
there, leaning on the railing Of the
