THE SHEPHERD
One cross may answer, but In the
end crossbreeding becomes a very com
plicated affair and has ruined more
than one tlocU of sheep.
Starting Sheep on Grain.
When about to feed sheet) on grain,
if it lias not been fed them before,
they must be started on con) grain
cautiously, especially if corn is a prin
cipal factor In the food to he fed. We
have great faith ill using oats as a
principal portion of the grain food
when starting the feeding-process. A
little bran will be helpful, but it is an
easy matter to use too much of the lat
ter.
Thrift Is Necessary.
There is one thing the farmer can
not afford to overlook iu sheep raising,
and that is thrift. Thrift means health,
gain in quality, quantity and produc
tiveness the elements out of which the
protits are derived. It must be the
lirst object of the owner to keep liis
sheep in thriving condition. The quali
ty of the wool as well as the quantity
and the general productiveness of the
flock make this requirement imperative.
The Sheepfold.
If a ewe loses her lambs she is apt
to get too fat for breeding purposes
another year, but she will make you
a nice piece of mutton for next win
ter's use. One or two gentle ewes
may be left with the lambs to keep
tlioui iu the pasture. Examine the ud
ders, and if any are caked or inflamed
they should he cared for and the milk
drawn. Construct a good shelter in
every pasture. Have the opening on
the south.
Parasites on Sheep.
Some writers claim that sheep ought
not to lie pastured ou laud more than
one year before it is plowed and re
seeded. owing to parasites, but it has
been shown that sheep have been kept
free from parasites by the use of tar.
turpentine and salt. Bore two inch
holes in a pine log, fill with salt and
smear tar around the top and sheep
will tar their noses while eating salt.
Sheep soon learn to eat tar. One sheep
raiser keeps it mixed with turpentine
and salt where it is accessible at all
times. About one-lialf pint of turpen
tine to one peek of salt is the propor
tion.
To Make a Hit.
send me violets every morn,”
said the beautiful girl.
‘‘I do,” responded the ardent lover,
‘‘no matter what the cost.”
“Quite so. Now. why not send up a
bunch of asparagus tomorrow instead.
It would be just ns expensive and
would make a big hit with pa.”—Pitts

CURIOUS MEDICINES.
Prescriptions Which Were Used In the
Eighteenth Century.
The following prescriptions, which
were published in 1731, show a de
gree of credulity hardly to be ex
pected from '‘the father of modern
chemistry and brother of the Earl
of Cork.” The book is said to he
written by “the Honorable R. Boyle,
Esq., late Fellow of the Royal So
ciety,” for the benefit of “those
poor Upholders of Families who
cannot find or fee a Surgeon or a
Doctor.” Here are a few speci
mens:
For Convulsions, Especially In
Children. — Take Earth - Worms,
wash them well in White-wine to
cleanse them, but so ns that they
may not die in the Wine; Then up
on hollow Tiles or between them,
dry the Worms with a moderate
Heat, and no further than that they
may be conveniently reduced to
Powder; to one Ounce of which add
a pretty Number of Grains of Ara-
bergrise, both to perfume the Pow
der (whose Scent of itself is rank)
and to make t;he medicine the more
efficacious.
To Prevent the Toothache and
Keep the Teeth Sound.—Let the
Patient frequently rub his Teeth
moderately with the Ashes that re
main in Tobacco-Pipes, after the
rest of the Body hath been con
sumed in Smoak; some time after,
washing (if need he) his Mouth
with fair Water not too cold.
An Uncommon but Experienced
Remedy For Dysenterical Fluxes.—
Take the Bone or the Thigh of a
bang’d Man (perhaps another may
serve), calcine it to Whiteness, and
having purg'd the Patient with an
antimonial medicine, give him 1
Dram of this White Powder for one
Dose, in some good Cordial, whether
Conserve or Liquor.
A Choice External Remedy for
a Sore Throat.—Take Millepedes
alive, and sew them up between
the Foldings of a piece of Linnen,
and apply them to the Throat in
the form of a stay, which is to be
kept on all Night.
For an Ague.—Take of the Bone
called “Platella,” of the Knee of a
dead Man, and having reduced it
to fine Powder, give of it as much
as will lie upon a groat or a six
pence for one Dose, in any proper
Conserve, or fit Vehicle.—London
Lancet. .
The Boy Was Not the Fool.
The other day a little boy was
sent to a shop for a penny’s worth
of cobbler’s wax. The shopman,
thinking of quizzing him, said:
“Won’t shoemaker’s wax do?”
“Aw dooan’t know,” replied the
lad. “Aw’ll go an’ see.”
He returned again directly and,
addressing the shopman, said:
“Mi faither says that shoemaker’s
will do.”
The shopman handed it to him,
smiling, and said:
“What is the difference?”
“Well,” said the lad, going to
ward the door, “mi faither says
there’s same difference as there is
between you and a donkey, and that
io they’re booath alike.”
And then he was off like a shot.—
London Spare Moments.
An Experiment In Theology.
Jimmie Irwin went to his mother
on li is return from Sunday school
and said, “Mamma, the teacher told
a story at Sunday school today.”
Mother—Oh, no, dear, I thjnk
you are mistaken.
Jimmie—No, I’m not. She told a
story.
Mother—Well, what was it?
Jimmie—She said that if I told
a story the bad man would get me.
I’ve tried it twice and lie hasn’t got
me yet!—Delineator.
Sacrifice Prevented.
“You refuse me because I have a
title,” said the count bitterly, “but
I will relinquish it. 1 will become
a plain citizen.”
“How noble of you!” responded
the American heiress. “I, too, feel
called upon to make a sacrifice. I
will relinguish my fortune, and—
Why, he’s gone!”—Philadelphia
Ledger.
St. Catherine’s Great Chimes.
St. Catherine’s cathedral in Dan
zig, Germany, boasts of the largest
belfry and the most elaborate set
of chimes in the world. The total
weight of the thirty-seven hells of
this great belfry is .'15,000 pounds,
the largest one alone weighing
5,-100 pounds. The play of the
chimes is over three octaves, and it
is manipulated by means of a key
board and pedals. It is said to be
possible to play any tune on these
bells, and an attachment is also pro
vided by which music is produced
automatically.
Kemmuci ».
Many are the methods to which
busy men resort in order to remind
them to write that letter, to buy
those ribbons, to keep that appoint
ment with Jackson. One ties a
piece of tape around his walking
stick, a second knots his handker
chief, a third puts his loose cash ir»
an unaccustomed pocket.
A very successful plan is that of
a shrewd man of business. A liberal
dose of pepper or snuff spread over
his handkerchief greets his olfac
tory nerves whenever he extracts it
from his pocket. And then he ex
claims, “That reminds me”—
Another effective method is to
place your finger rings on your key
ring. By this means you are not
only reminded of that “something”
by the absence of your rings from
your finger, hut every time you use
your keys the fact is forced upon
your attention.—London Mail.
Both Wanted Bites.
A sportsman went out fishing on
a highland loch, his companion be
ing the estate keeper, Sandy Mc
Kay. The gentleman proved rather
unsuccessful with his rod, and after
persevering for a couple of hours lie
said:
“I think we may as well go home
now, Sandy. The trout won’t bite
today.”
When they went ashore the
sportsman offered the keeper some
sherry, which that functionary de
clined.
“I’ve got no whisky,” said the
gentleman. “What is your objec
tion to a drop of sherry?’
“Wecl,” replied Sandy, “if ye
maun ken, it’s the same objection
as ye hae tae the troot the day—it
winna bite.”—Dundee Courier.
The Lesser Evil.
There are other destructive
forces in nature, and even earth
quakes have rivals. This happened
at the time of the trembler at
Charleston, S. C., several years ago,
A resident of the shaken city, while
he felt that his duties required him
to remain there to do what he
might for the sufferers, sent his
six-year-old son out of the danger
and confusion to the youngster's
grandfather in New York. Three
days after the hoy’s arrival the
Charleston man received this tele
gram from his father: “Send us
your earthquake and take hack your
boy.”
