The study of words; it may sound to you a dry thing, yet I promise you it is not—very far from it. And this brings me to suggest that the habit ot one of the great writers of ■studying carefully from a good dic tionary five words each day is one from which we might ah of us get a good deal of profit. Or, take a good book of synonyms, for instance, and learn from it each day five words somewhat similar, comparing and weighing carefully the meanings and values of them. Notice the degrees of force in the following: To dislike, to hate, to loathe, to detest, to ab hor—each note struck is a little stronger, higher, we might say, like an ascending crescendo scale. So, to instruct, to teach, to educate are each quite different in meaning, with great nicety of difference. So, re buke, reprimand, censure, blame are all of one color, but of how different shades of meaning. So. too, misfor tune, calamity, disaster; so, weak, feeble, decrepit; and what delicate difference between fame and renown, or feminine and womanly and wom anish ?—Exchange.

This to help the young woman who is “compelled to sit out dances.” Half a century ago and the young woman would not have been allowed even to sit out these dances. G. W. E. Russell tells of the restrictions which hedged in the fashionable miss: “Young women were only allowed to waltz with their brothers or cous ins. Their acquaintances were lim ited to square dances. No sitting out at a ball was permitted. At the end of each dance the man took his partner back to her chaperon, to whom he made a bow as he restored her charge.”—London Tinies.

From Comparative Obscurity It Haa Come Into Prominence During Last Ten or Fifteen Years for Breeding Animals. (By R. J. KINZER.) The use of alfalfa cannot be too strongly urged with sheep, either the breeding or fattening stock. As the method of farming has become more intensified and the open range grows less each year, an acre of alfalfa must be made to take the ’ lace of many acres of range pasture. Sheep, being ruminants, are able to handle a much more bulky feed than b.orses. A breeding flock of sheep can be carried through the winter season very successfully with but little grain in addition to alfalfa hay. Ordina rily the first cutting of alfalfa is not as good for sheep as the second and third cuttings, as it is usually coarse and stemmy, and sheep do not eat these stems readily. It is about as safe to pasture old sheep on alfalfa as it is cattle. They thrive on it, and make excellent gains; but sheep bloat easily and there is likely to be a little loss from this source. Lambs can be pastured on alfalfa with but little danger of bloat, and the way they grow on alfalfa is a delight to the shepherd. They should never be put on the pasture, when they are empty and hungry, and it is always well to allow them access to some dry feed and keep them off the alfalfa until the dew is off; also on damp days. A mixture of alfalfa and brome-grass or alfalfa and or chard grass is a safer pasture than alfalfa alone. A flock of ewes and lambs can be grazed for a short time each day on alfalfa with but little danger of any Pure-Bred Ewes Wintered on Alfalfa Without Grain. loss. If a lamb-creep can be arranged from the sheep corral to an al falfa pasture, the lambs will soon learn what it is intended for and will do far better on it than if confined to a dry yard. Newly seeded alfalfa can be pastured with less danger of bloat than an old field, and the packing of the ground by the sheep passing over it is frequently a great benefit to the alfalfa. As a roughage for fattening sheep alfalfa hay has no equal, and cases of bloat from the hay are exceedingly rare. It can be fed either whole or cut, and fed with grain. Many prefer this method of feeding, claiming that there is less waste by it. In feeding experiments nothing has been found for roughage that equals alfalfa for fattening sheep. In an experiment at the Kansas station, alfalfa and prairie hay were compared as rough ages. In the test the grain ration was corn and cottonseed meal for both lots. Those receiving alfalfa hay made an average daily gain of .336 pounds per head, while the lot on prairie hay made only .188 pounds per head daily, the alfalfa lot making almost twice as great gains. The alfalfa seemed to give the lambs a better appetite and they were always ready for their grain, and as soon as their grain was cleaned up they were ready for the alfalfa. MANAGEMENT OF RUNT PIGS Excellent Practise to Place Them in Pasture by Themselves to Avoid Jostling and Crowding. (By W. F. PURDUE.) Some runts are naturally weaklings, while others are the result of injuries or underfeeding. The poor feeder will have more runts in his herd than the good feeder —no question about that. We always place ours in a lot or field by themselves, where they will have good pasture, and a chance to eat their meals without being knocked and jostled around by their larger mates. The poor things never have half a chance when allowed to run with the herd, and in consequence they will never pay for the feed they consume. By separating them, however, and giving these runts some special care they ought to return some profit. Ground grain mixed into a thick slop with milk, is what the runts need, instead of an exclusive diet of ear corn. Then keep them free from lice, and provide them with warm shelter, so that all the profit will not be chilled out in damp or cold weather. Working for Independence. Give more attention to the orchard, the garden, the poultry and the farm animals, and it will not be necessary to worry so much over the general crops. With fruits, vegetables, poul try, eggs, milk, butter, pork and other articles of food raised. on the farm for the family table it will not require very large crops to make you inde pendent on the farm. Protect the Birds. Protect and shelter the birds aa much as possible. A few wind breaks cr thickets of brush on the farm give the birds a nesting place and they pay for it by catching many injurious in sects.
