Anne cut off a length of forty-ive
inches from her roll of goods
and carried it down to her dining
room table, where she spread the whols
piece out fiat, the length Of the bag run
ming away from her. There is no right
nor wrong side to table felt.) She then
folded in the two edges toward the centre
so that when the baby was lying inside
the bag there would be no seam under
her and only one seam in the centre Of
the bag over her. She now stitched
across the bottom of the bag and half
way up the centre Of the seam TO the
opening, allowing about sixteen inches
for the opening. She allowed an inch
for the seams, as the felt was inclined to
ravel bit. Next she took her shears
and curved the top Of the bag, allowing
about SIX inches in the centre of the
back-top (Which would eventually fit
around the back of the baby's neck) to
follow the line Of the baby's shoulders.
She scanned up the shoulders and made
fiat hem around the neck and down each
side Of the opening to where the seam
was closed. Strong snappers fastened
tho flaps Of the opening together. She
finally overcast all the seams with Ma
so thread. Anne made three In two

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST POISON.
ING OF SHEEP.

The movement of sheep from the
several Forest Reserves of Oregon
will soon take place and heretofore
numerous losses caused by the eating
of poisonous plants has been exper-
fenced by a number of sheep owners
in certain sections of the state. In
order to protect against the possible
loss of sheep by plant poisoning the
following precautions are recon-
mended:
1t has been found that sheep are
more apt to become poisoned by
eating lupine when they are hot and
very hungry, therefore the sheep
most likely to be poisoned are
those that are trailed out from the
Forest Reserves later in the season,
the sheep first moved as a rule con-
sumo all of the available vegetation,
therefore the feed that is most likely
left is that which is ill-suited for
sheep forage. Occasionally owners
will, in an effort to avoid possible
poisonings hurry their animals. This
has been found to be a practice
which is possibly responsible for
many of the losses. Sheep when al
lowed to drift through a patch of
lupine, or for that matter, other
poisonous plants, will frequently
not eat greedily of it, while If they
are hurried or closely grouped they
seem to lose their natural instinct
and will gorge themselves. 1t has
been found that sheep are very
greedy and are imitators. When
one eats of quantity of plant,
others will attempt to do the same.
Apparently the greatest losses
occur after the sheep are once
brought down to the headquarter
ranches. They are generally in a
more or less starved condition and
owners will frequently turn them
out the following day and allow
them to eat at will and being in a
famished condition, they will fire.
qaently start in on the lupine that is
everywhere present in certain sec
tions. Whether the poisoning al
ways results from the poisonous
principle Of the plant or whether it
results from the condition known as
overlooking it is difficult to say At
any rate, great losses are frequently
experienced. Lupine in the pod
stage is poisonous. Owners can
guard against this by allowing their
sheep to fill up on dry feed before
being turned out, then it would be
we'll for owners to carefully herd
them until they have become we'll
filled. After being down in the foot
hills for few days the principal
dangers will have subsidized.
Antidotes, as a rule, are not
efficient against troubles arising
from the eating of poisonous plants.
The only really safe method lies in
precautionary handling and feeding.
In short, do not hurry sheep through
lupine districts, when massed they
eat everything. Best avoid poison
districts If you can. Do not allow
sheep to Craze on the lower fall
range until they have been filled up
on dry feed and rested day. Do
not allow sheep to become worried
