To strop feed as soon as winter sets in is to discourage tbe milking habit and lose many dollars' worth of milk that good feeding would bring. Give the ram about one potted of bran daily, with all the green food he can eat. Good feeding during the breed- ing period is one of the essentials to the production of sound and vigorous lambs. A good place for chickens in the fall is the orchard. They seldom fly up in the trees and destroy the fruit, and if they do, all you need tt do is to clip one wing. If you do not believe that apples are good for egg production just feed them some of the fruit in the spring, especially if they are a little slow in starting to lay, and then note the difference. A German experiment: station that has been testing the results of feeding pigs by a self -feeder and in the usual way by trough has made more profit by using the self -feeder, and so recom- mends its use. Every succersful swine breeder ap- preciates the value of good, strong and'. well matured breeding animals. The', fall pig that goes into the winter in a weak, run-down condition has a life of misery ahead of him. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTO ER I A Supple Shoulder, Give a Youthful Air. "If you want to look young. do not let your sholders get stiff," says a woman who likes to look youthful and knows how to do it. "Flexibility of expre Bion and pose is the hall mark of youth. "Many women in their desire for an erect carriage think they have achieved it by hoisting up their shoulders and holding them hoisted with relentless persistence. Why have a stiff dignity of pee when one can have a graceful dignity? "To keep your shoulders young, try to keep your mind young by not letting it worry needlessly, or think over in- tensely. "The mind affects the shoulders and they affect the mind. If von cannot stop thinking too seriously, or worrying move your shoulders and arms about a bit, let your shoulders fail into place easily and you will see that at once your mind is rested. "Don't worry about your household cares while you are attending to them as moat women do, accomplishing them with knit brow and stiff shoulders, De- cide what you have to do and then just do it with easy mind and easy pose. "Thus keep your face from acquiring, set expressions that soon age it by rot - bug it of its life and giving it a lot of Unnecessary wrinkles.

It Caught the interest and Sympathy of the Prosperous Loungers at the Fashionable Hotel, and the Rest c,Cf the Scheme Was Easy. • "The peaspetous" were lounging ess the terrace of the leading hotel in the 'fashionable watering place steaming; themselves. It was a magniflceut Aft- ernoon. Everybody was lazily t nod tempered and contributed to Use ben- •eral air of well fed contentment. •Aud 'then "the woman" put in an sq pear•- ance. For a moment she stood on the stone -steps that led up to the tera+aoe, hest - "The prosperous" gaped nt her and wondered wily she wits there. Tbey probably classified her as •one of the "respectable poor." "The womau" could not ;disguise the feet that she was le trouble •uf some sort. She advanced ,upeu ",the pros- perous" and glanced timidly •from face to face. 'Thea, gat•liertng her courage in bath hands. she walked right past them into the vestibule of the -hotel. A little buzz of speculation rause. There was no doubt about It. They felled "the woman" Interesting. "Weeder what's avorryiug her':" said one. "Perhaps she thinks of putting air and to n bit doubtful chant the eta - sine," cackled a would be twit The. cold stare with which tris •remark was received told hit' that It erns consid- ered to be in decidedly •bed taste. As a fact. "the prosperous" were inclined to feel sympathy for "the women." They had been well fed, and it was a magnificent afternoon; also they were genuinely curious, Soon she came out again. looking more dejected than ever. She looked around as if for a less public means of escape, but, finding none, strode des• perately forward. "My good woman, you seem .to be in trouble. Can i do auything?" It was the elderly military looking man to the corner who spoke—spoke gruffly as one who is in the habit of doing favors ungraciously. "Th -e pros- perous" thought it n trine daring. But' they were secretly glad. And they lis- tened. "No, sir, thank you," replied "the woman." And then she belied bet' words by n muffled sob. "I—I—It's noticing, sir—nothing nt all," she added. The military looking man rose from. his seat. "Have the goodness to take that char'," he said peremptorily, "and tell us the truth. 1 have no doubt that we shall be able to assist you." When she hnd partly composed bet self "the woman" stalntnei•ed out her story, with the aid of much prompt- ing from her companion. "I am u widow, a color sergeant in the Welsh Grays my hnsbiind was. t let lodgings In the town. '!'Here was a gentleman called Colonel Morrish boarded in my house nigh on six months; said he'd pay me as soon ;is his dividends or sontethin' envie in aft the half year.

But I'd do anything to have' the gentry in my house=" "The prosperous" murmured :vette' thetica I ly. "Just before the six months was up he said he'd have to Conte nn' stay nt this hotel to meet one of the directors who was going to pay him his money. An' now they tell the that there never was no one here by the name of Colo. bel Morrish. And—and--the bailiffs come into my house this monde', an' they'll take all my furniture for tin' £12 I owe the landlord'" "Twelve pounds!" repented the mill tary looking man.

Preparing the'Floek For Exhibition at 'fall 'Fairs, Before starting to fit his 'breeding •flock or portion thereof for dhow pur- poses the amateur breeder and fitter .should become thoroughly familiar 'with the breed type and conformation •ofathe sheep he is handling, says J. M. Zones in the Orange .ludd Farmer. The 'br'eeder should make eertalu that all the sheep that he intends to exhibit in the pure bred classes are properly registered fund that the certificates can be produced, because most fair ease - dations make the provision that the judge can rail for registry certificates. Once in awhile grades ate shown in pure bred classes, but this is a prac- tice not to be encouraged, as such methods will be surely discovered soon- er or later. In showing a mutton sheep mutton conformation is desired. The animal must possess the type characteristic of that particular breed. For example in the Shropshire we want a iheep possessing the typical Shropshire head. There must be no horns or scuts on the Shropshire, as the best specimens are without them. Good judges will place Sbropshires possessing seers at the bottom of the class. Every mutton sheep, no .matter what breed, •the de- sired points are the clean cut head. de- noting quality; short, thick neck, length of body, wide, thick loin, strong back, 'carried well out to tail head; The Shropshire is one of the most popular and widely distributed breeds of sheep. Without doubt there are more Sht•opshires in this country than any other English breed. They have also gone into every sheep growing country in the world. Specimens of this breed have been made to weigh 225 pounds for the male and 176 for the female, a,nd the meat is of delicious flavor. As a bearer of lambs few sheep sur- pass the Shropshire. The line weth- er shown was a prize winner last fall. thighs well filled and wide, low in twist, straight underline and tine, dense fleece. If you are planning on showing breeding ewes at the fall fairs the' lambs should be weaned early so that their mothers can be rounded into good condition. The ewes will not make satisfactory gains while suck- ling their lambs. "Flushing the ewe" is a Common word among sheep men, and it means nothing more than put- ting the ewe on to good feed and bringing luto good condition before be- ing bred again. Rape is an excellent food for bringing about this result, and no sheep grower should be without a rape patch. In bringing the lambs into show con- dition the same general suggesr,ions as were applied to the breeding ewes may satisfactorily be followed in this case. It will not be difficult to fit the rams for show if they have had the run of a good pasture. A small amount of grain may be added to their ration a few weeks before the first fair if they are not in good show condition. Remenl- ber that the rams should be in n good, strong, thriving condition, but should not be overfat and sluggish and barely able to move. In the ram an active and strong specimen is desired, and in bringing abort this condition the sbow Sheep must all receive the proper ex- ercise or 'else their flesh will become soft and bunches or rolls will develop on the sides, indicating overfitting. Salt For Dairy Cows. It will surprise most dairymen to learn that 011'14ul1y kept COWS are giv% en four ounces of salt each daily mir- ed their with r f fir feed. They rat theft feed better anti the owner thinks they do better when given this amount than when the aliowance is smaller. The cows are fed three times •a day, and the emit is divided among the three feeds. I1'Ine table salt is invariably tised. The cows prefer it to cearse Craik Ali a.r.rc„ MEPHISTOPHELES.

LUCKY BASEBALL FLUKE. Think of a Player Making a Home Run on an Infield Fly! 'in all the years I have been attend - lug baseball games—and they are more than I would care to number—there is one play which stands out in my mind as the greatest 1 hove ever seen," says a contributor to the American Maga- zine. "There was no wonderful skill em- bodied in the play. It was, I suppose, pure Tuck. But the fact remains that I have never seeu it duplicated nor ap- proached, and it •is, su far as 1 know, unique in the•annnls of baseball. "The game was one between Wash- ington and Cincinnati back le the days when Washington was ie the National league. The settee was I to 0 in Cin- cinua:ti's favor in the last half of the ninth. Two men were out, and Wash- ington end a runner on second, with iVItmd't at the bat.. On the first ball Welted Wilmot swung hard and knock- ed an infield fly, the highest I have ever seen. The ball went up and up until i.t was visible only as a tiny speck. "With the crack of the bat the run- ner on second had started for home, and he crossed the plate before the bail began to fall. Buck Ewing, Cin- cinnati's first baseman; McPhee, who played second, and 'Germany' Smith, tbe shortstop, all gathered between first and second awaiting for the ball to drop. Wilmot sped around the bases at top speed and passed third as the ball fell just inside the triangle of waiting infielders. "The ball struck the hard earth of the base line and bounded high in the alt. Ewing having to wait for it to de- scend n second time before he could make the throw home. Wilmot slid around the plate and was safe, having won the game with a home run on an infield fly, a feat which hes never been duplicated in professional baseball." To Move Pictures.

It's a Mistake, Says a Scientist, to Say They Emit Sounds. German scientists are greatly inter- ested in n discussion regarding new phenomena revealed by the aurora borealis; according to recent Norwe- gian and German observers. People living le the northern part of Norway mnitttulued that they often hear sounds accompanying the northern lights. These 'sounds are described by some us similar to the crackling of flames. Accordingly German aud Norwegian scientists started out to investigate the phenomena, and one of them, Olay Aabakken, bus spent a loug time at the Halide observatory in Fintnarken. Aabakken thinks that 11 is very un- likely that any sound Is to be heard from the northern lights. He main- tains that the human senses are not to be relied on, especially regarding the phenomena of sight. ' Aabakken says that the idea of sound connected with the northern lights may result front the fact that these lights look like Dames, and as people are accustomed to associate the crackling sound with flames the rath- er uucritical observer of the blazing movements of the aurora borealis is • apt to think that he really hears the sound of those flames.—New York Press. • His Good Eye.

Among the most singular is a group of light grayish - yellow sandstone pillars twenty or more feet high capped with a thin layer of dark colored rock which re- semble the tops of giant mushrboms which have shriveled and partially dried up. The dark colored capping being of a much harder (ironstone) reek than the pillars has to some ex- tent protected the latter from disinte- gration.
