Dochnia end Cae Taffies the Lambs.
One of ti e oat important and the
most neglectol job on farms having
farm flocks of sheep, is the docking
and caatratim of the lambs at the
proper thue.
Some of the advantages of a clocked
and castrated lamb over an undocked
and uncastrated lamb, are that the
castrated lamb develops more rapidly,
fall ens more uniformly, and puts a
larger percentage of flesh in the high-
prieed cuts, such as leg and loin,
while the ram lambs develop stronger
in the neck and shoulder. The cas-
trated lambs run quietly with the ewe
floek, without the possibility of hav-
ing the ewes drop Iambs during the
winter time, when they are not
wanted. The docked Iamb is much
cleaner, and is biocides. in appearance,
also is not subject to trouble from
maggots in moist hot weather. When
they go to market at the age .of five
to raven months, the castrated Iamb
will outweigh the uneastrated, by five
to ten pounds, and is worth from
two to five cents more per pound, de-
pending on the age.
The operation uf docking and cas-
trating is very simple and can be
done by almost anyone.
When a person has but eight or
ten to handle. they can be caught and
handled without any preparation
whatever, excepting a sharp knife,
and a little disinfeetent. Where the
farmer has a good-sized flock, be
should run them through a cutting
chute. or crowd them up in one part
of the Larn, eo that he can catch the

by then-nu:lye:a This should be done
in the maiming, and the lambs should
be handled as quietly as possible, so
as not to exercise them too much;
eatteieg their blood to rush too rapid-
ly through the body, as they will
-heed more freely if this is done.
The most suitable age is between
OW!' and two weeks old, as their tails
have a tendency to become fleshy
after this time, and consequently
bleed more when the sharp knife is
Used.
There are two methods of doeking.
one by using a hot pincers, and the
other by using a shnrp knife. In using
the pinchers, it should he heated to

When using the hot iron, the tail
is pulled through a hole in a board, to
prevent the excessive heat. reaching
the skin of tl e tail t p, and at the
same time the operator grasps the tail,
shoving the s v'n 'a 1 ttle forward,
slashes the ta'l off w'th one rut, at
about one and a hall' i schen from the
body, then graep•ing the scrotum cute
the lower third off, then taking the
other knife, which should have a very
keen edge, cuts the lining of the
testicles, and withdraws them, either
with the thumb and finger, or with
the teeth.
Thc majority of the operators who
plan to do rapid work, prefer to use
their teeth, because they never slip,
and the work can be done much more
repidly. For one accustomed to this
method, it is not at all disagreeable,
and in the waiter's opinion, is much
better for the lamb, as it does away
with occasional slipping, such as often
occurs when veins; thumb and finger.
When the lambs aro older than
•three weeks, it Is better to serape
the to off rather than withdrawing
it.
It takes but an instant to apply a
little disinfectant to the wounds, and
a little tar on the tail, then the lamb
is dropped into a pen, and another one
placed on the table.
Any operator with a little pep, and
with twenty minutes' experience, can
dock, castrate, disinfect and tar, from
fifty to sixty lamas an hour, in a very
efficient manner, without undue haste.
It adds a certain zest to the work
when an operator can do his -week
rapidly enough to be able to pass out
a bantering call of "come on with
your lambs" when the catcher is a
littla behind.
Needless to say, tbe quicker the op-
eration can be done in an efficient
way, the better it is for the lambs.
- • Tf there is a fourth party in the
crew, he can be used in pushing up
'the panel, thus crowding the lambs to
the end of the panel, so that the
catcher will have less difficulty, also
in watching docked lambs, and if any
are spurting blood, after a reasonable
length of time, he can tie a string
tightly around the stub of the tail,
The lambs should be left mi. -tatty in
their pen a few hours, and observed
occasionally by the 'caretaker, to see
that none continuo to bleed. When
the strings have been left on for an
hoer or two, they should be removed,
And extreme care taken that the same
number of strings are cut, as were
used, es it causes great agony to the

Let Your engine Do It.
The much -used slang expression of
"Let the women do the work" might
well be paraphrased to, "Iset the en-
gine do the work,"
No other single factor has been
more potent in making every penny
and every minute and every stroke
count in farming. The gasoline en-
gine has lifted from the shoulders of
the farmer many a burden,
It has given into his hands a means
of dispensing with man power, the
horse, and forces of the wind. It has
been a suggester and a creator of new
and important methods of utilizing
power on the farm for greater
efficiency and larger profits. The man
with the engine an the farm is the
antithesis of the man with the hoe.
The gasoline engine hooked up to a
multiplicity of devices and machines
is changing the farmer to a master
mechanic. I know of no better testi-
mony to the manner in which the
gasoline engine has revolutionized the
lives of many farmers than the fol-
lowing story told me by a neighbor
the other day:
"My father used to feed cattle, and
he always shelled all the corn he fed,
using self -feeders. The cobs were
used far fuel, and they were very nice
to start a lire with. He used a two -
hole eight -horse corn aheller.
"On account of old age he moved
to town. The corn shelter was left
on the farm, Often when I wished to
shell corn the track would be very
muddy for the horses, and the old
machine would run hard, and soon I
decided to investigate the merits of
the gasoline engine.
"I was really expecting to get about
a three or four horsepower engine,
but I secured the prices on different
sizes, and ordered one rated at seven
horsepower. They sent a man to in-
stall and start it, it being one of the
first machines, and they wished it to
be satisfactory.
"I have been running the engine
ever since, with very little trouble.
I run a four -hole corn sheller, a feed
grinder, and two pumps, and I ean
have water for my stock whenever I
wont it, wind os. no wind. I grind
a great deal of chicken feed in the
spring for my neighbors, and lots
of bog feed in the fall. I charge
enough for this service to pay for
the gasoline and make a small profit.
"I would not do without the engine
for almost any price. Recently I se-
cured a two horsepower gas engine
to run the churn, washing machine,
and the house pump for the well,
which is 45 feet deep, I have a
double-cylincler force pump and a hose
which in ease of fire can be attached
to the engine, Blue Monday no long-

Their adaptability to farm work is
practically limitless. Their simpli-

them to those unfamiliar with ma-
chinery. And their economy of op-

most skeptical. I have never seen
any farmer that has thoroughly tried

Israel's First, King -1 Sam. 9: 15; 10:
24. Golden Text, 1 Sam. 12: 24.
9: 15-21. The Lord had told Samuel
in his ear. The prophet was a man of
simple faith. He not only prayed but
believed that his prayer would be
answered. Since the assembly of the
Israelite chieftains had demanded
that he find them a king, he had no
doubt prayed earnestly for divine
guidance. How could he choose out
of all the men of Israel one fit for so
high an office!
A man out of the land of Benjamin.
The story of Kish the Benjamite and
his son Saul, "a choice young man and
a goodly," should be read front the
beginning of the chapter. Saul and
his servant, seeking his father's lost
asses, had decided to visit the prophet
Samuel, supposing that,. on payment
of a fee, he, out of his extraordinary
knowledge, would tell them where the
asses were to be found. So they came
to the town of Mullah where Samuel
lived.

- - was the solemn anointing or setting
apart of the king for his sacred office.
Henceforth Saul was "the Lord's
anointed" (1 Sam. 24: 8). The kiss
was a token of homage to the chosen
king, chosen by the Lord to be cap-
tain over his inheritance.
10: 2-24. "When thou art departed."
Samuel proceeds to tell 'Saul of two
incidents which will befall him on his
return journey. 'Some men who meet
him will give him two loaves of
bread, an unconscious act of homage
as to a king. Again he will meet a
company of prophets, chanting their
religious and patriotic songs to the
accompaniment of music, and he will
be constrained to join thein. The same
spirit which is in the prophets will
enter into him and make another man
of him, and this will be an evidence
that God is with him.
This was the hour of Saul's conver-
sion. God gave him another heart.
It would have been well indeed for
Saul if he had always retained Samuel
as his counsellor and friend.
To Mizpeh. Again Samuel called a
national assembly. His choice of a
king must be ratified by the people.
The history represents him here as
leaving all in the hands of the Lord,
and casting lots for choice of tribe,
family and man. When the choice
was determined and the lot fell upon
Saul he was found hiding among the
stuff, that is among the baggage,
Tall, stalwart, handsome, in the prime
and vigor of his youth, he must have
seemed "every inch a king." And the
people shouted and said "God save the
King."

3, Get a name that fits the place.
