SUCCESS ls FEEDING SHEET
Mere Use Of Brains Required ir Han ding Animals Than in Any Other
 Line Of Agriculture.

Mfr. c. C. Starr. who buys and feeds several thousand lambs each year. in q talk to the Missouri sheep feeders recently, said:
 s,ro be successful feeder requires more use Of brains thaa any other line of agriculture.
 ~The successful feeder must be on the watch for things to happen la the pens.
 Care in being punctual with break fast for lambs will do wonders.
 'sThe greatest trouble we have in feeding is to induce our partners and customers to feed plenty. No one ever made sheep fat by stunting them.
 Lambs really do best in dry lots when the feeding begins foo late to use green blades of corn and grass. They have n disposition to wander and Win not stay with the feed unless more or less closely confined.
 Enough troughs should be provided for grain feeding SO that all can get all the grain they desire.
 .sThe water should always be fresh and clean: have plenty Of it in troughs so that sheep can easiIy drink.
 "Plenty of corn is always needed. Cottonseed meal is very useful. espe- cially when sllage is used. A pound of sllage per head per day Is about enough"

FINDS SUCKERS IN PLENTY
New York Fsker Makes Easy Money Selling False mustaches to the
 Credulous Public.

Every now and then faker appears on Broadway with false mustaches for sale. The one he sports himself is rather hobby hunk of hair and looks quite natural as result of the way it is pasted to his lip. He soon gathers crowd by offering a similar mus tache for a nickel. Scores of people buy, planning a joke of some sort. But the purchaser who does not then and there open the little envelope con- taining the mustache will find later on that he has been nicely gulled All that the envelope contains is wisp of coarse hair similar to that used in upholStering furniture. There is not even the semblanee of mus tache form-just tangled wisp. If it were usable at all it would make about enough mustache to cover one side of lip. Does the buyer seek out the faker and demand his money back? He does not, for he feels like fool for having wasted his money on material for a third-rate piker's joke. And besides. if the faker is not hunt ed up immediately he never will be located. He doesn't care, for he has no pride in his occupation nor perma- nent standing. The inner circle of fakers scorn such coarse werk.-New York Letter.
