mansion, says writer in the Scots

house repeatedly choked. Lifting the
slabs in the basement paving, he dis

yards away on the opposite side Of the

toward the house and had penetrated

FARM METHODS OF

Good shelter and plenty of fresh wa

a Missouri correspondent of the Farm
Progress.

kind Of open lots and plenty Of fresh
water. and believe l can winter sheep
easier than any other animal on the
farm. During the month and a half
of deep SHOWS. cold weather and cold
rains the warm sheep shed has saved
much feed. Give them warm shed.
and it will not take nearly so much
grain and hay.
l know a good many men who seem
to think that any kind Of an old shed is
good enough for their sheep. They will
use an old barn with half the siding
ripped off and the whole interior open
to blowing snow and driving rain.
They are not worried much If the roof
is full of holes and lets in the water.
That is very bad for the sheep. The
feeces get soaked through. and it takes
days for them to dry out. AS long as
they are wet to the skin the sheep are

fear of successful refutation that a
very large majority of men who have
passed the age of eighty years have or
had goodly show of hair on the crown
or top of their heads. | by no means
claim that this is universal. for 1t Is

greater age than eighty who were

CuIIino the Eve Flock.

In culling out the undesirables much
care should be taken to see that all
barren ewes, ewes that are poor milk.
ers or ewes that have spoiled udders
go to the market. Many times a big,
fat eve is the most handsome in all the
flock. and the owner hates to sell her
because she looks good, which is prin.
cipally on account of her high condi
don. Such ewes are drones in the
flock and parasites on the feed bin.
eve that is thin may be SO because she
has raised her lamb well. She certain,
ly should have place reserved for her
with those that are to remain. By the
time the breeding season is at hand she
will be In a gaining condition.

RIGHT AND LEFT HANDED.
A Series of School Tests and an Am.
bidextrous Failure.

A Series of School Tests and an Am
bidextrous Failure.
Ever since 1t was proved that in all
righthanded people the speech center
of the brain-the place from which
talking il controlled-is on the left side
of the brain and that in lefthanded
people it is on the right side there has
came ambidextrous. or able to use both
hands equally well. the speech center
might be doubled. and consequently
talking ability might be improved.
Very elaborate tests have shattered
this hope.
German specialist obtained the as.
sistance of the school authorities and
tried 1t out on nearly 5000 school chill
dren. After careful record was tax
en- of each child's hand preference,
speech ability and general capability
all the children were told to try to use
both hands. For many months an eft
fort was made to have all the children
become ambidextrous.
At the end Of the test all the teach
ers and other observers agreed that.
though some of the children had sue
ceeded in becoming ambidextrous. the
effort had worried them all and had
shown no advantages manuaIly or in
speech that in any way recompensed
for the trouble taken Consequently
the scientist has decided that nature
is doing pretty well with her own sys-
tenn of left side speech and right hand
preference. -Saturday Evening Post.

NEW YORK DAY BY DAY.

New York, Oct. z1.-Of course the
coming presidential election is of mo-
mentous interest; SO is the war and
the street car strike and the crop re-
ports. But all Of these questions fade
INTO significance as fas as stenogra-
piers and reckless young bloods are
concerned compared with the threat
eLed Ice cream famine. If the ban on
milk does not end soon ice cream will
cease to be manufactured. Managers
OF confectionery and drug stores are
having a serious time trying to re-

business cogs may stop moving for
the lack Of ice cream.

The housewives of New York are
aroused and r going to get them
selves organized for action by Christ
mas. hundreds have joined the move
raent already, the chief objects Of
which are: 10 reduce the cost Of liv-

prices that are artificial; to secure
just weights and measures; to elimi-
! nate petty graft on the COMMON COM
modltles; to stand together against
uifwafranted strikes ON the necessities
OF life, and to set forth methods of
household economy. The necessity Of
JOINT action by the housewives of the
city is strongly manifested by present
conditions that threaten hardships to
every family not only of moderate !
means, but those who have heretofore
been prosperous.

Here's a tip for prospective bene-
diets. Don't purchase a white dia-
mond until you have given it an al
coholic bath. The demand for this
particular quality Of the precious
stone has become so great within the
last few years that INSCRIPTIONS deal
ers are transforming yellow diamonds
into white by a simple little chemical
process that makes the change so per-
feet that even the pawnbrokers have
been fooled. Alcohol is the only thing
that will show up the d1ception. Do
not buy theengagaNent ring until you
have taken it to q tavern and had the
bartender submerge it in a bottle of
something strong. If it is still white
after the barkeep wipes it on his
apron, you may be satisfied that the
dealer is not in the dyeing business.
