MARKING SYSTEM FOR SHEEP

Abandoned Lambs.

The farmer who has had trouble on
account of ewes failing to give proper
attention to lambs, thus losing track
of them altogether, will find that II
system of marks with paint will en-
able the ewes and lambs to be got
together again at any subsequent day
in case the lamb be abandoned. Sim
ply give both eve and lambs Il touch
of paint on the same part of the body,
each eve and her lamb being marked
at a different point, says writer In
an exchange. We haze marked as
many as n hundred in this way and
have often had occasion to use the
system afterwards in experimenting
careless ewes.

Quaint Character in New York
Village Gets $4,000
Legacy.
IS STAGGERED BY The News
Helped Perfect Invention Which Made
Owner Wealthy and Latter Re-
members Him in His Will
His Plans.

Silver Creek, n. Y.-The greatest OF
all miracles has occurred right In this
village. Lew" Keith Is worth n for
tune. 1t Is hard for people to believe
It, but It's an actual fact. SO far as
he can recall, Lew" never had more
than five dollars ut one time In his life,
and now he is worth 100000.
Lew" is the modern Rip Van
Wrinkle. He is about siXty-tve years OF
age. lie was born here, but moved
away soon after the war, with his
folks, and passed few years in Mis-
souri,, returning again to remain the
rest of his life. A good many towns
have characters like "Lew." He can
recite Shakespeare by the week. He is
n philosopher with Il quaintness of ex-
preston which makes him highly en-
tertaining. He has always made his
living "tlnkerng" He can make Il
motor boat, violin, camera, IA
threshlng machine-in fact, he can
make anything or mend anything that
anyone ever dreamed OF. But he
never tried to make any money. He
never wanted any.
But listen To what has befallen him :
A few weeks ago John Ii. Webster,
village president got letter from Sc
dalia, Mo-, asking II Lew" Keith were
alive, and If so to furnish proofs of his
identity.
"Tell 'em I'm alive, all right" was
"Lew's" nonchalant comment.
Mr.. Webster did. Back came n let
ter from the vice president OF trust
company in st. Louis. This Is, In sub
stance, what II said:
In 1878 man named Carter, living
In Sedalia, was at work on n machine
TO separate zinc from ore. He was un
able TO perfect his device. Lew
Keith, n young man, happened in and
tinkered around till the machine was
complete. Lew" moved away. Mr.
Carter patented the machine and made
n fortune out of 1t. Many times during
his life he started to hunt up Lew

faction.
Too frequently the flock master is
tempted to butcher the largest and
latest lambs for the extra value rep
resented IN the immediate sale. This
Is grave mistake, and should never
be practiced If good breeding flock
Is to be maintained. The same care
full attention should be paid to selec-
ton as Is used in the selection of dairy
cattle and laying hens. Wool at 80
cents and lambs touching $13.1O per
hundred on foot and wholesale should
result in more interest in sheep hus-
bandry, particularly where the labor
problem is serious one and the need
of some kind of live stock is felt.

COSTS $500 TO KEEP HORSE
Estimate Given by Farm Management
Department Of the Nebraska Col
lege of Agriculture.

The cost of keeping horse on the
farm for year In eastern Nebraska
Is upward of 500, according to the
farm management department of the
college Of agriculture. 1t cost $50 for
feed, $3.50 for interest at per cent
on a valuation of $50 for the horse,
$l5 for 10 per cent depreciation on
the horse, $12 for IS hours care ut TO
cents an hour, $3.50 for shelter and
enough more for expenses to make
1t total over 500. In western Nebras-
ka, on account OF the lower cost OF
feed, the cost of keeping horse is
estimated to be somewhat less.
