Feeding an Orphan
Tho winter arrangement of feeding
sheds and yards Is of the most im
portance of any phase of business.
If possible, they should be fed Insido
of the sheds at all times.
Feeding racks may be placed, so that
they will form partitions for the va
rious enclosures, thus doing away with
limber used for the purpose.
A good practical feeding rack may
bo made by splitting one long pole
or using two smaller ones, and through
these should bo bored holes about four
Inches apart and one inch in diamoter.
Tho rounds, which should be made
about three to three and one-half feet
in length, may be made either from
Bawed lumber or round stuff.
Tho horizontal poles should be
placed on stakes about one foot from
tho ground nnd form a rack about two
feet or three feet In width.
A similar rack, although presenting
but one side, may be constructed along
the sides of tho shed.
When constructed on tho side It
will not need to bo more than one-half
as wide, as only one-half as many
SUCCULENT FEED IS
REQUIRED BY EWES
Best Pasturt on Farm Should Be
Saved for Them Ram Also
Needs Good Attention.
If a big crop of strong Iambs is to
bo expected it never will come from
ewes that are half starved at mating
lime. Often the ewes aro run down
by nursing lambs and then going on
bare pastures to fight files after wean
ing. They" soon draw upon all of their
spare or stowed up tissues and be
come weak and thin. If bred in this
condition they do not tend to produce
twins, but have singles and these of
ten are puny and die at birth. For a
crop of big strong lambs, made up of
doubles and triplets, feed the owes
generously, and also tho male. They
should have tho best pasture on tho
farm, specially saved for them, and
hero they should also have a mixture
of whole oats, wheat bran and oil meal
or cake. It also is well, if possible,
to supply cabbage or roots or an
ubundanco of green fodder. At first
the ewes may have half a pound each
per day of tho grain mixture and this
may be increased to three quarters
of a pound a day, if the pasture is
good. A little more may bo fed, if the
grass is poor and the ewes aro down
In condition. Feed the male in tho
same way nnd take him to tho ewe
pasture night and morning. Do not
allow him to run with tho ewes. The
extra feeding ("flushing") of ewes and
ram Bhould commence two or three
weoks prior to the mating time nnd
continue through that period; then the
ewes should bo well fed In winter.
(Jive them plenty of exercise every
day. Prefer mixed clover or alfalfa
hay to any other. Keep tho ewes from
eating much coarse, bulky slough hay
or timothy hay, or weathered corn fod
der. Supply a succulent feed, such as
rootB or silage, allowing not over two
pounds per day of such feed for each
ewe. If this is done and tho ewes
aro kept from wet and storm, good
luck should . attend tho shepherd as
the reward of his labor.
Feeding the Calf.
The essential points to bo kept in
mind aro the following:
Do not overfeed.
Feed warm milk.
Feed sweet, freBh milk.
Feed each animal Individually.
Feed regularly.
Keep tho pails and quarters where
tho calves aro clean.
Wintering W,eak Animals.
Tho weak colt, calf or pig should
havo special attention at this season
of tho year. If they go Into tho win
terweak their chances of making a
good animal aro Bllm. Prices aro too
high to take any chances on these
young animals taking up the slack
without special caro.
Increase Capacity of Silo.
Tho deeper tho silo, the greater
tho pressure and therefore tho moro
comnact will bo tho contonts. Nat-
urally this increases tho amount that
can be stored per cubic foot.
by the Use of a Bottle.
sheep can feed from it at tho same
time.
Although we may vary the forms of
tho feed racks to meet tho condi
tions of tho buildings, yet one point
should be kept in mind and that is to
build them so that the side tho sheep
feed from shall be uniformly perpen
dicular, In order to prevent the dirt
from 'ailing on the lambs and becom
ing mteed with their wool.
Tho iounds should bo placed sum
clently close to each other to prevent
the Introduction of the lambs' heads
into tho rack.
If permitted to do this, they will
only select tho choicest portions of
the fodder and wasto the residue and
'then thero is some danger of them
getting hung or Injured.
Troughs for feeding grain and roots
may bfl conveniently made by nailing
together two narrow boards and plac
ing them in an opening sawed in tho
shape of a V in a thick board.
This makes a convenient and por
table trough, sufficient for every prac
ticable purpose.
FEED MILL ON FARM
IS A HAfJDY THING
Grinder Is One of Best Economiz
ers Farmer Can Own for
Preparing Grain Feed.
On any farm where there is stock
to feed, whether cows, sheep, hogs or
poultry, tho feed mill or grinder ia
ono of the best economizers of food
one can have. These mills aro made
in various sizes and suited to the
largo or the small farm. With such
a mill ono is in a position to givo va
riety in form of feeding that is im
possible unless ono is prepared to buy
various kinds of ground food.
Where com constitutes tho main
food, as is the case on most farms, it
is plain to eeo that It is not advis
able to feed it in the same form all
tho time. With the feed grinder it
1b possible to mix the several ground
grains in small quantities which one
would hardly buy. Where poultry
keeping is a part of tho farm Indus
try thero will bo found abundant use
for the feed grinder and it will pay a
good profit on tho investment.
Rough Feed for Weanling.
Timothy and clover hay mixed will
make a good rough feed for tho wean
ling foal. Wheat bran Is a mild laxa
tlve, and contains a goodly proportion
of mineral matter for bone building.
Oats aro a bulky feed to feed as a
grain ration. They prevent over-eating
and aro an excellent nitrogenous
feed for: building muscle and blood.
Musclo and bone aro required more
than fat In young horses, so too much
corn should not bo fed, as it is a fat
and heat producer.
Prevent Hog Cholera.
It Is much easier and cheaper to
prevent hog cholera than It is to cure
it; Its control Is largely In the farnv
er's hands. Keep your hogs in a
healthful condition by cleaning up, dis
infecting and using caro in feeding
and watering. It is well to keep coa'
screenings, which can bo had at a
small cost, by tho hogs constantly
Look to tho health and comfort ol
your hogs and you will bo well repaid
Dry Quarters for Swine.
.Young pigs need dry, clean quar
tors. The farrowing sows should have
dry, clean pens, preferably with
board floors, and very llttlo bedding
Many moro oung pigs are overlaid
and smothered by their mothors
through getting tangled up In tho bed
ding, than are Injured by lack of bed
ding. Condition Makes or Unmakes.
Condition makes or unmakes tlu
horse, and on its proper conditioning
depends tho development 0 Us mus
cles and its powers of ondurnnco. and
on theso depend its speed develop
ment.
Prepare for Winter.
If you need now food hoppers, got
thorn now. Nothing like being pre
pared for winter when it comes. If
wo keep putting things off wo aro apt
to forgot them altogether.

LEADS MASONS
When the Scottish Rlto Masons
of the southern jurisdiction at their
recent convention in Washington
named Judge Qeorgo Fleming Moore
of Montgomery as sovereign grand
commander of tho order, they selected
ono of tho most prominent Masons In
tho whole South for the honor.
Judge Mooro was born In Talla
dega, Ala., educated at Central insti
tute thero and, at tho University of
Virginia. After a law course at that
university he wa3 admitted to tho bar,
practiced for a while in Rockford,
Ala., and later in Montgomery until
1902. Ho was appointed special Unit
ed States attorney by Attorney Gen
eral Garland during Cleveland's first
administration, and was next appoint
ed assistant United States district at
torney, serving in this capacity
through Cleveland's first term, Harri
son's second term and part of Cleve
land's second term. Ho was then ap
pointed United States district attor
ney and served until after McKlnley's
several Important cases.

Gaylord Miller Saltzgabor was invitod to Washington that ho might un

man, with military manners and a very friendly disposition. On .May 20,

RISES HIGH FROM THE RANKS
Most encouraging to tho many
young Englishmen who havo enlisted
,ln the ranks to fight for their country
In the European war Is tho promotion
of Sir William Robertson to be lieu
tenant general of tho British army In
France. His career has been decided
ly romantic and shows how ono 'who
begins at tho bottom of tho ladder
may in time climb to tho upper rungs.
In tho past several enlisted men havo
risen to tho grade of colonel and even
of major general, ono of tho latter
being tho lato Sir Hector Macdonald,
but Sir William Robertson Is tho first
''ranker" to attain to a lieutenant gen
eralship. For ten years ho served as
u trooper in tho Sixteenth lancers,
and then, at the ago of twenty-nlno,
ho was commissioned a lieutenant of
tho Third dragoon guards. In tho
lllack Mountain and Miranzal expedi
tions nnd tho Chitral relief expedition,
on tho Indian frontier, ho so distin
guished himself that ho was permitted
to marry tho daughter of the lato Lieutenant General Palin of tho Bombay
staff corps.
After that his" promotion was swift and he has been commandant of
tho staff college, director of military training of tho British army and ch.lof of
tho general staff at Aldershot. During tho nrmy maneuvors last year ho was
tho escort of King George, and soon thereafter ho was knighted

that Institution. This chango has
been brought about by a woman
Miss' Mary B. Wadley. As an em

strength to take up their work. Sho

Often a discharged patient fortunate
enough to havo a homo to which ho

Soon after President Wilson camo
into office ho began hunting for a
man. He kept three essentials in
mind during tho progress of tho
search. Tho man, he said, had to bo
physically and mentally robust, and a
Democrat, of courso, and ho ought to
havo been a Union soldier In the
war between the North and South. If
such a mnn could be found, tho presi
dent promised to appoint him commis
sioner of pensions. Thero wore plenty
of veterans, ho agreed, but they wero
