Priltcipal SUMMER CARE OF SHEEP AND LAMBS The greatest point in the prevention of the maggot fly is to keep the ewes find lambs well docked and clean be- hind, writes W. R. Gilbert in the Na- tional Stockman. The shepherd should be armed with a pair of shears when he makes his rounds and any sheep that ,ire inclined to scour a little or any that are wet and dirty behind should be (aught and all the dirt clipped off. Otherwise the fly will strike there more readily than anywhere else. When struck, by the fly the ewes, more espe- cially the lambs, will hold their beads down, continually wagging. tbeir tails and endeavoring to bite the place af- fected, and if not attended to will pull on' all the 'wool. When badly bitten they will ,lie 'behind a bash away from the rest o."'Sae flock in great torture, or as far unde,\a hedge as possible out'of the sun.

The breed takes its name from the clowns that line the southern. coast of England. its smooth, even body, its round. clean barrel, its short legs. its tine bead and broad saddle make it profitable to breeder and farmer. Southdown mutton has long been valued highly, both abroad and in America. The wether shown is a pure bred South- down. washed with either cold °spring Ovate or with water as hot as the patient can bear it without scalding. Personally prefer the hot water, just as hot as can bear it on the back of my hand After the wool has dried a little apply a few drops of spirits of tar rubbed into the wool to prevent the flies again striking the same place, which they will do if not stopped in time. If not badly bitten the sheep will be all right in the course of a few days, but care should be taken to examine it thor- oughly and see that it is perfectly free from maggots. .Maggots when they once begin al- ways make uphill and will increase at an enormous rate if not attended to. I have seen sheep that have been missed One day in bad shape the next morn- ing, enduring horrible torture, with most of the wool pulled off. But this occurs only where there is bad shep- herding, and a flock in the care of an experienced man will very seldom come to this state. HAND RAISED FOALS.

To rope, "bust" and "hog tie" a wild Texas longhorn single banded in two minutes is a sport which represents the daily 'work of the range. Men of quick aye and steady nerve each start their fifty feet lbehind the longhorn, which may jump the arena fence like a deer and again and again dodge when it hears the first swish of the rope. The •ope often breaks on the tautening, or the saddle may slip: as in the case of Bill Mahaffey, who landed on his head with foot caught in the stirrup and but for the splendidly trained cow pony might have been dragged and killed. There goes Cuba Crutchfield! Be overtakes his sister. Swish, swish! His lariat zips through the air -a beautiful throw over the horns. Then the' cow pony braces, and the rope tightens like t harp string. Watching, anticipating every move of his horned adversary, the cowboy now circles the. animal so that the rope is brought from the horns around the hind legs. A word. and the knowing pony makes a sudden start. Thud, and the steer is tripped or "bust- ed." The rope tautens, and the rider is already running afoot with a short cord In hand toward the steer, depending for his own safety on his trained cow pony to hold that rope taut and the steer in position. With marvelous dex- terity he "hog ties" with a number of half hitches looped about the hind feet and one forefoot of the steer. The man stands erect, raises both arms in the air, and Crutchfield has not only won the steer roping championship, but has ridden down, roped, thrown and hog tied a steer in twenty-seven seconds. within six seconds of the best record ever made.—World's Work. Methods of Caring For the Motherless Youngsters. In case the mare dies or has no mill: the foal may be raised on cow's milk if the attendant conducts the work pa- tiently and intelligently, writes A. S, Alexander of Wisconsin experiment station. Choose the milk of a cow that has recently calved. preferably one which gives milk low in butter fat, for mare's milk while rich in sugar is poor in fat. Sweeten the milk with molasses or sugar and dilute' with warm water. Give n little of this prepared milk at short intervals from a scalded nursing bottle and large rubber nipple. Be careful to keep the bottle and nipple scrupulous- ly clean. Add an ounce of lime water to each pint of the prepared milk and allow half a cupful once an hour at first Until the bowels move freely give rectal injections night and morning. If the foal scours at any time give two to four tablespoonfuls of a mix - tore of sweet oil and pure castor oil shaken up in milk and stop feeding milk for two or three meals, allowing sweetened warm water and,lime" we - ter instead. Let the foal lick oatmeal as soon as it will eat, and gradually increase the amount and add wheat bran. In five or six weeks some sweet skimmilk may be given and the amount gradually increased daily until in three months or so it may be given freely three times a day in place of new milk. The foal at this age also, will be eating freely of grass, grain and bran. rade], we are Se1hne tion of a pr ,aft he Y Guou-I a illois Co,, Limited !table and that ber offspring may be worth more money in the dairy than the offspring 0f a scrub or grade cow.

Any irregularity of the bowels is always dangerous, and should be attended to at once, for if the bowels cease to work properly, all the other organs become deranged. Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills work on the bowels gently and naturally, and will cure the worst cases of Constipation. Mrs. A. Cumming, Manchester, Ont., writes:—"I have been troubled with Constipation for ever five years, and I feel it my duty to let you know that your Milburn's Laxa-Liver -Pills have cured me. I only used three vials and I can faithfully say that they have saved me from a large doctor bill."

AROUND THE DAIRY. . • No man can make a success of dairying who does not take good care of bis calves, fDo not haul waste products back to the farm from the cream- ery iu the same cans used for de- s' livening milk.

FARM DRAFT HORSES. Mares of the Big Breeds Make the Most Profitable Returns. It not difficult to show that un- der average farm conditions the draft horse is one of the most proStable Products, and perhaps the most profit- able of all live stock to grow, says M. Watson in the National Stockman. It does not follow that one should devote all his time to them or cover bis farm with such animals. He should, how- ever, keep two or more strictly first class mares. As a general rule, it may be said, that one-balf of the farm teams should be draft mares. If one-half the farm teams are mares and the same are properly taken care of, never again will it be necessary to buy horses for the teams and in the course of time there will be horses to sell. in such a prospect the quality of dam should have careful attention. as the raising of horses is not a matter OUICK NAPTHA THE WOMAN'S SOAP, The shire breed of draft horse had its origin In England and is closely related to the Cyldesdale. In recent years it has grown in favor in the United States. Some breeders maintain that a Shire stal- lion is the best to mate with the common mares of the corn belt. The Shire is a little taller and heav- ier than the Clydesdale, and its walking gait is said to be slower than that of the latter breed. The illustration shows forequarters of a prize winning Shire mare. QA: w• The Ayrshire cow is of Scotch ori- gin and iscominginto prominence in all parts of North America. It ranks among the foremost of the recognized dairy breeds. Official and competitive tests have shown the Ayrshire to be an economical producer of milk and butter, yield- ing a large amount for the food consumed Ayrshlres are strong and healthy, with plenty of vitality. The illustration shows an Ayrshire cow of the best type. stitute skimmilk gradually, the proper tion of whole milk being made les and less each clay until the calf is get ting skimmilk exclusively at the end of a week: or ten days. 1$y this grad- ual change the calf does not notice the difference, mud be is less apt to have the scours. When the calf gets a few months old I begin substituting water for the skimmilk which leaves nae more of this for the hogs. By this time the calf will be cuting cunsfderable alfalfa bay besides its grain. and It will not need of months, but of years, and results. are determined largely by the choice of dam and of course by proper mating. It is not supposed that the colts are raised for market, but for home use, and when thus used they will be even snore profitable, not altogether in dol- lars, but largely in the pleasure of hav- ing just what is wanted on the farm. Those who don't raise but buy their farm horses must pay large profits and take chances. It takes a big mare to raise big horses, and certainly she is worth her price for work and breeding'19 she or a gelding like her is worth a similar fig- ure for work alone. The man with the mare has an advantage over every one else In the horse business. He gets the double return on hls investment, Horse Comfort. Keep a good, deep. dry bed under the horse while he is in the stable day or night, on Sundays especially. The more he lies• down the longer his legs and feet will last. Women and Betting.

If you exert a pound of pressure against a man in a swing, you'll start him moving slowly "to and fro." If you continue to exert a pound of pres- • sure against him every time the swing makes a trip, you'll soon have him going so high that he almost turns the whole circle. If you stop push- ing, the momentum will die out and the swing come to rest at "dead centre." Winning trade follows the same natural laws. Advertisements are the force behind the swing of public favor. Each new advertisement increases the momentum. Finally, the accumulated force of these numerous impulses swings indifference to the buying point. If you stop Advertising, you lose momentum. The moral of which is: Don't stop the business swing in Summer. Keep adding the pounds of ; Advertising pressure.
