A Royal Baby Carriage.
Princess Juliana of Holland has join-

fact, a giant covered perambulator con
taining a stove and scats for nurses,
besides the bassinette for tho royal ba

horse. If she were an English princess
she would nt once be nominated pa

MERINO SHEEP.
They Muit Have Profitable Flseee ana1

A well known authority nays: It In a
well established fart that lbs Merino
will not Improve under atrlctly close
Inbreeding. Tbe grout eat Improvement
bns been made by properly mating ani
mate from Docks not closely related.
The production of extremely heavy
fleeces bas Imh-o at the sacrifice of tbe
carcass. The typical million forms
have been prodm-ed nl n nacrlflce lo
fleece. Tbe Improver of the Merino tn
tbe future mimt carry the two essen

formed cart-aas of sufficient abie to
make the animal as profitable for

form as we do to that of a wool pro

our ties vie t wool producing sheep
carry but little mutton and the strong
est mutton producers usually shear a
light fleece.
There Is a large pport unity for tbe
breeder to uae bla skill In tbe combin
ing of tbese two cbsracierlstlcs In one
animal without one being sacrificed to
secure tbe other.
I nm of the opinion tbnt tbe field for
Improving the Merino ts very large,
nnd tbe development of tbe most prof
itable nnd practical wool mutton Me
rino Is still In Itn Infancy. With tbe
experience of the past the next twenty
or thirty years should bring ebout
combination Merino of greater value

Px not misunderstand me. H Is
highly Important to bnve n reasonable

do not overdo the mailer.
Stripping! Com Last.
Any farm wife can tell you about
"ntrlpplngs" when It comen to milking
cow. They nre the rich milk, which
Is drawn last. Tbe Iden has been ad
vnnced that nil milk from the cow tn
alike, but this Is a mlatske.
The popular Idea tbnt the first milk
drawn Is poorest tn cream, or butter
fnt. Is correct. The last milk drawn ts
uaunlly about five times ns rich ns tbe
first. It tn nn old custom bn tbe farm
to net this milk to Itself on account of
Its extra rtebneas. If nny goes to the
calf It Is tbe first milk drawn, since
that Is least valuable for butter. On
thla account the old way waajo let the
calf suck first. It is very wasteful
plan to leave tbe last milk to tbe calf.
Popular Wens and science agree with
regard to the value of strlpplngs.'
The New York experiment station
made test of the matter in the case
of flv cows. Every pint as drawn was
tested, and the amount of butter, fat
Increased regularly to the thirteenth
pint, which was about 'five times nn
rich nn the first, ns already stated.

Th Frsneh Coach Hors.
Thls breed originated In France, be
ing the product of a cross between the
English thoroughbred and native mares
of France that have considerable orien
tnl blood in tbelr veins. The typical
horse of this breed stands sixteen
bsnds blgh or over, weighs 1,200 to
1.400 pouuds and Is tn all essentials a
coach or carriage horse. He la more
wmgy In type than tbe hackney, an
upstanding, graceful, free moving,
strong horse.
Plenty of Exsrcia For Sows.
Brood sows should have plenty of
exercise that they may get strong lit
ters of pigs, full of vitality. It Is best
to keep the same sows for several
years If they have proved good breed
ers and careful mothers. They will
raise more and better pigs than tbe
young gilts.
Good Treatment.
It takes n smarter man than most of.
us to doctor a sick hog. Better keep
your porkers well by giving them good
feed, good csre nnd good trentment
than to try to doctor them nfter they
get sick. Overcrowding Is prolific
source of dlsense.
Th Horse's Feat.
Don't forget the horse's feet. The
work on the plowed grouud has a
tendency to soften the feet, and a
drive on the hard road may ruin a foot
that might have been saved by careful
trimming and attention before tbe
drive was made.
Sound Lags.
Sound legs are not likely to be trans
mitted by nn unsound horse. There
fore look well to the breeding of your
stock. There nre alrendy enough knock
kneed, rlngboned horses on tbe market.

tbe left arm stronger than tbe right.
Of women 40.90 per cent bad the right
arm stronger than the left, and 24.50
per cent bad the left stronger than tbe
right. In order to arrive at the aver
age length of limbs fifty skeletons
were measured, twenty-five of each

In the opinion of some, the quantity
of water drunk by a cow Is an impor

Affsctad by Food.
The meat of all animals Is affected
by the food they eat. For Instance,
the ducks that live on fish bave fishy
flavor. The flesh has a disagreeable
taste when te fowls :re fed on on
ions. When 8 wine are fed on beech
nuts tbe bacou from the pigs has the
finest flavor, while bogs allowed to
feed on stinking, filthy slops and on
dead animals furnish food unfit tot

not feeding tbe soundest, cleanest,

Car of th Colt
Tbe feed and care of the colt are al

THE VETERINARY
Take car tbat there ar no nails
oprm which the pbj can scratch him
self. Nails mean scratches; scratches
tnenn care; care takes time.
Remedy For Lie.
If you want cheap and effective
remedy for Ike on dogs nnd cattle, just
try a bar of hard nonp nnd quart of
kerosene oil In water. It will kill
every louse, but not nits, no the don
will have to be repeated. -Economy
In Sprayer.
Beventy-five cents will get a food
prayer, sod ns much more will buy
s gnllon of fly killer. These two
things put together will save you
many times tbe amount In milk. Here
economy is tbe expenditure of money.
Kep th Stsblss Clean.
A mixture of gunpowder and lard Is
a good remedy for scratches and
grease beel. But keeping tbe stables
ind the horses' legs clean Is better and
touts less.
Treatment For Colts.
A colt often bangs out its tongu
Because It Is iu fin mod with some Irri
tant. Search carefully for any sharp
oody that may have penetrated tbe
tongue nnd remove It Or it may have
been lacerated In some manner. In
this case tbe cut must be sewed up
wltb catgnt softened in warm water
ind tbe mouth washed out frequently
arltb a lotion of permanganate of potash.
