A IX OXgN LOOKID ALIKE. Ileaeoa War a I.arr f.'ealiln't Tell 0aa Animal from Another. From the New Orleuna Times-Dem ocrat: Aa ambitious young lawyer paid bis first visit to a country court holding Its session not far from New Orleana not long since. He went to represent a big railroad In a suit brought by a countryman to recover tba value of an ox, which departed this life in a vain attempt to bold up the limited mall. The question be fore the court was ouo of ldentlfle.v tlon, and the oow'-yniun had testi fied that be knew the ox by Its color and tha flesh marks. The young city lawyer rose and with dignity said: "If your honor please, there can be no Question that this witness has sworn falsely when he testified that an ox can os recognised ny ms color. I was ft stenographer before I became a law yer, and for two days, your honor (drawing out his notebook), I have tak en a detailed description of every ox that passed the hotel, ami I am pre- pared to swear aa an expert that 'all oxen look alike to me.' " "You are trifling with the dignity or tnis rourt, air." sternly said the Judge, "and I will flit " "Hold on, Judge." said the clerk; "Inert naln t been nut one yoke of ox en in this town In a week, Old man Henley's been a hnulln' wtt, and the lawyer's been counting the same oisn ver ftnd over," "Judgment for plaintiff." sld the Judge, and the rlty lawyer, glad ta - cape the wrath of hi honor, took hi departure, a aadder but wiser man.

Food enton gong to ouo of two func tion, the support of the animal or Its growth. Tho animal mnst live, and to llvo rnust lm kopt warm, and this will be done flrnt from tbo fwxl eiiUn and all tho growth will como latur from any1 surplus of fwxl above thiiso roqoiro monts. Very mnoh the largest part of tho food of support goes to maintaining warmth. Undur ordinary cirontnNtauuos 70 per cent is thus nsod, uud tbo con dition may bo such that a mnoh larger proportion will bo nsod for this purposo. Mo fur us any hopo of prolK is con corned this part of the food might Junt as woll m thrown into a stove and burned as to be consumed in tho (Mil uiul'g body a fuel. It follows, of courso, that if tho lumb to be fed is put into warm quarter less food will be ummI as fuel and more of it will be utilized in making growth, We should then iiiuko tho folds or barns for feeding JiiHt n wurm as tho health of tho lamb will allow, I huvo trlod differ cut tomperutures and find thut about CO or CO degrees V. is tho most dosirubla, Hut wo will find that uo leub cuu en dare bud air and be boa! thy, Their lungs are sensitive, so we most soo to it that tha fold is well ventilated ftixl tbo air kept pure and frno from dis easo germs, If properly ventilated with shoots from tho fold up out at tho roof, thl can bo seoured without making them too cold or buying a draft blow log in on tho sheep, Nothing con bo worse than to attempt to ventilate by tho windows, as it is impossible to do thl without having more or loss drafts blowing in on tho lutnlis, and when this occurs they are sure to tuke oold, No animal is more a verso to baying wot quurtor than tho sheep, and 110 lamb or lieep can be inudo to do woll ia fold having the niunuro or floor wet. Nor must it bo allowed to booome filthy. It shonld be made dry and then kept littered with leaves or straw so ni to keep clean, and when so it need not bo cleaned out more than two or three times during tho winter, We know another thing. All motion is at the expense of energy, and energy come only from fond eaten. If now w keep tho lumbs very quiet, they will use less food iu this way, and more can go to making growth. Nothing can U more wasteful and foolish than to at tempt to foed a lot of lamb running loose over tho Held or yards. Not only do thoy waste m uuh food iti tho needles exercise, but they are running over and crowding cu l other from morning till night. To do their best they should bt sorted according to i.u ana no tnort thun 20 put together iii pens, in wurm quarters, not less thun eight feet in height in the (dear, and when so kepi muy bo wifely loosed in a pen thut shall give eueh lumb ten squuro feet of llooi spuee. In order thut tho lumbs muy Imvt ample feeding room the pens may bt ttiudu only 10 feet wide and long enougb so as to give cuch lumb ouo fool of feeding rack und trough. Tho common notion thut lumbs dc not require much wuter is very fulhi rlou. No unimul needs more or will drink ofteuer when it bus a tliunce, and no auimul is half so particular us to tht cli unllmwH of the wuter or trough from Which it drinks. Tho drinking trought should bo up jnst high enough so they run drink easily and should bo kepi clouu enough so the shepherd would be Willing to drink from it. As has been suid, we wunt a lurgt amount of lean meat put upon lumbs. Wu know also thut the food having un excess of tho nitrogenous element tend to t he production of luuu uiout. Wt ihould also know thut sheep, lumbs es pecially, ore very fond of a vurluty iu their food. We should therefore feed largely on uitrogeuous foods, such at britu, outs, oilmoul and gluten meal foi ;raiu, and no forugo is so good foi iinili a good, early cut, well cured, bright clover hay, and if wu have plen ty of this we may sufuly udd quite s proHrtion of corn to the grain ration. Iu feeding grain it is well to commetux with a very small amount and if possi ble begin to feed a little while still ou pasture, and the amount may be urudu ally IncrouHtxl ao long as the gruiu will show thst they are making a good um of what they eat.

Editor Farmers Union: I notice in the Farmer's Union of the last week in De cember an article beudud "Insurance Hates." The figures given We simply appalling to tbe average, and even the well-informed insurance man. ISut sup pose that the writer would have consid ered the real cash invested by tbe stock holders Instead of tbe cash capital re ported by tbe com pun Iu. I will give you a Utile history of an Illinois company incorporated in 1880, with 1100,000, since which time the stockholders huvo not been called upon 1 ... I ll a . m topuy a aonar, nut lor many years they have been receiving f 40,000 as an nunl dividends, In fact they have re celved 700,003 In dividends up to Jun uury 1, 1NU7. The assets on that date were 18,100.000. The comnanr col lected in premiums 122,430,350, and paid on losses 1 0,111,300. To put it differently, the real invest tnent of the company was f 100,000, and at tho time the last report was made, Januury 1, 1607, stockholders bad re ceived iu cash 1700,004, assets, f3,100, ouojioiai, fij.rwu.ztH, net gain per year, f 1X0,000, or 120 per cont per an num. Now, If tho writer of "Insurance Hates" will try this rule on any of the companies nnmod. he will find that bis oppurrently appalling figures pale into utter insignificance. Of course old liners will insist that the accumulations tbat are not divided must be added to tho cash capital, and some people look upon that item as an Indication of business ability, but If an individual would pile up wealth iu the same manner, be should us put In the penitentiary, gent to con gress or elected president of a railroad SEEOSsbbi - - - - Established 1893 Save the middleman's profits by buying your seeds direct from the grower.
