GOOD JOKE ON DANISH KING
Monarch Jumped Too Quickly to Con
clusion That Eskimo Was
Actuated by Loyalty.

An amusing story Of the king OF
Denmark's recent visit to Greenland
was recently told by M. Aagaard of the
Danish legation. to members OF the
Danish club in London.
As the royal yacht was approaching
Greenland dark speck became visible
on the open sea. 1t proved to be
solitary Eskimo in his little cayak
(native canoe). The Eskimo came on
board and his loyalty in having braved
the perils of the sea in such a fail
craft assured him the warmest of wei.
comes. The king presented him with
a cigar and, what the Eskimos most
highly prize, rifle.
On landing, the king described the
incident to the Danish commissioner
In Greenland and asked him who the
man was.
The commissioner, in accents of hor-
ror. replied: ''The mans an escaped
convict. He broke prison yesterday,
stole canoe and put to sea. We
thought he had been drowned

SHEEP CARE DURING WINTER
Breeding Ewes Should Be Kept
Thrifty and Not Allowed to
Lose In Weight.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
At this season the flock owner IS
principally interested in fall and win
ter feeding and maintenance. The
shepherd should train himself to read
the condition of his sheep by feeling
the bone of the loin or back. At no
time while they are in lamb should
ewes be allowed to lose weight. In
open, wet, fall seasons there is danger
or waiting too long to start feeding.
Winter management is very impor.
tant In its effect upon the returns
from the flock. Leguminous hays,
straws and cornstalks usually form
the main part of economical winter
rations. Glover, alfalfa or cowpea hay,
If of good quality, may be used as the
sole feed until near Landing time, from
to 31a pounds daily being sufficient
for ewes weighing less than l5O
pounds. Dat and wheat straw are
better than rye or barley straw. Corn.
stalks placed where the ewes can eat
off the leaves may be used as part
Of the roughage ration. If this ration
is made up largely Of cornstalks or
straw, heterogeneous concentrate
should also be used. Timothy hay Is
not good sheep feed.
Suage will reduce the cost Of the
ration, but 1t is best to use 1t with hay.
Feed only silage made from well-ma-
tured corn, and be sure that it Is not
spoiled, frozen or moldy. Three
pounds per head day is the limit for
this feed. For breed ewes, roots, par
ticularly turnips should be used spar
ingly until after Landing. The two
rations here given will be found salts

If the ewes run on fall wheat or rye

quirement for pregnant ewes and 1t
should be used when the price is right.
However, quarter-pound along with
other feeds containing protein may be
better than one containing larger
amount of cottonseed meal.
Exercise for the eve in winter is
necessary if strong lambs are to be
produced. They can be induced TO
take exercise by scattering their feed
over the ground which will induce
them to do q great deal of walking.
Another way is to do the feeding some
distance from the shelter Winter
pasture will, of course, solve the prob,
lem of exercise. But the flock ought
not to be out in rain or wet snow, as
wet fleece is frequent cause of colds
and pneumonia. A sheep will shake
off dry snow and be none the worse
for having been out In storm.
Present conditions should be no dis
enlargement to person who thinks
of starting flock, for the man who
succeeds with live stock Is the one
who goes in and stays in through fat
years and lean. Perhaps it is better
to go in when prices are low, for then
it costs less for foundation stock.
1t is doubtful whether a man should
start keeping sheep unless his farm
will allow the keeping of at least 80
