The followiug from the Fort Collins Express shows something of the condi tions affecting the lnmb feeding indus try In Colorado: "It is beginning to he quite n serious problem for the lnmb feeders how to provide grain for the feeding. Corn Is selling at $1.32 per hundredweight, and Its importation hna practically ceased. Oats and barley are quoted at $1.25 and wheat at $1.10. The feeders are quietly scouring the coun try picking up wheat, and the competi tion between them and the Hour mills Is likely to bo quite active. Some re member a winter live or six years ago when some Nebraskans came in here with lambs and quietly bought all the tvhent in sight, compelling the millers lo import grain to keep their mills go ing. The wheat is cracked for use and is said to be an excellent substitute for the corn, but if oven It ennnot be obtained the buying of lambs must per force cease. It would seem as if those who raised speltz are in luck. The ex perience of those who have tried it in dicates that it Is about, if not quite, as good as corn, and yields of sixty bush els per ncre are not uncommon." Very Serlonn. An exchange tells us that the An gora goats at the Pan-American had wool not unlike a small Leicester sheep, but for some unaccountable reason It Is called hair. Speaking of the Meri nos, It says: "Comment Is liberally bestowed by visitors when viewing this odd looking breed of sheep. The conservative breed ers aro showing the old fashioned Me rinos as nature and the American cli mate intended them to look. They have had the wool pulled, or rather grown, over their eyes until they can hardly see; their horns have been roiled in curl papers during the successive gen erations, thus giving them the exact twist necessary to properly emphasize their beauty. These sheep were evi dently intended to grow much larger, as their skin Is rolled and folded over in va rious places with unnecessary extrava gance. This feature figures both ways, however, as it enables them to turn off a large proportion of leather besides furnishing a good deal more surface to grow wool on." The Perfect Sheep. An animal compact in form and low of limb, broad before, behind and all along the back. The body should be round, smooth aud deep, the forearm strong, the thigh full and the twist full. Frofessor Thomas Shaw, University of Minnesota. Sheep In AlnNkn. Professor C. C. Georgeson, the spe cial ngent of the agricultural depart ment who for the past three years has been In charge of the agricultural ex periments In the northern territory, be lieves that the time Is not far distant when Alaska will be made to support a vast agricultural population. n states that the Alaskn Commercial company has for years raised cattle nnd sheep near Kadiak and near Una laska without feeding them a thing In the winter. The sheep have Increased at the rate of about GO per cent annu ally, and the Hock shears about live pounds of wool annually per head. This has been done for the past six teen years. There can he no question but what It can be repeated on scores of the Islands in that region. There is but little timber or undergrowth there, and practically the entire country is covered with a heavy growth of nutri tious grasses. Phenomenal Oxford Hum. This Oxford yearling ram was the champion In his class at the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo. Ho was each mnn receiving an average profit for each head of sheep that he owns. The idea is meeting with favor. Den ver Stockman. Did Hotter nl Home. The sheep sent to the Pan-American exposition by the territorial govern ment were an excellent lot, hut the best price offered for them at Buffalo was 3 cents a pound live weight. They were brought back to Winnipeg and sold for 4Vi cents. The cnttle sent down were sold to go to Montreal. Northwest Farmer (Canada).

Results obtained at the Wisconsin fvrnerlmont station show that there Is practically no difference In the quan tity of pork produced from the same weight of wheat or corn. In four trials an average of 409 pounds of ground wheat were required to produce 100 pounds of gain In live weight, in two j trials with cornmeal 498 pounds were required to produce 100 pounds of gain. When a mixture of equal parts of whiMit nnd corn was fed. better results were obtained than when cither wheat or corn was fed alone. It required 485 . pounds of mixed wheat and corn, half nnd half, by weight to produce 100 pounds of gain in live weight. The CnrloUM Dczonr Stone. I There is now no sale for bezoar stones. The time was when this con cretion was deemed very valuable, und many living men will remember hav ing seen perfectly formed specimens sell .for $5 or $10, to be carried in the pocket as lucky stones. The bezoar stone is formed In the stomachs of cat tle. It is calcareous and as hard as a bit of limestone, but the core Is gener ally a mass of hair licked from the hide of the animal and carried into tho stomach with the saliva. These con cretions nre as plentiful now as they over were. A I.unntic'n Advice.

Prominent sheepmen of Rawlins, Wy., say that n movement Is ou foot to form n sheep trust to control every sheep ranging In Caribou county over 1,000,000 head. Tho consolidation Is desired by a number of sheepmen on account of the range difficulties which ore constantly arising. There are enough sheep in tho country to occupy every ncre of good range, and the small owners are contsautly clashing with their flocks. If the trust Is formed, all flocks will be controlled by an execu tlvo board, and Interests will be nooled. ri "'li r n r-r-r -itt t t-t r ' 1 -H in: 1 II HI It JMI FRONT ELEVATION. hall on tho ground floor, and Is provid ed with coal and store bins for both families.

The navigators of antiquity, to whoso Imaginative Ignorance the ocean seem ed peopled and beset with chimeras dire und supernatural agencies of all sorts, used often to sacrifice human lives to the mysterious water gods. It Is regarded by tradition that Idoine neus, king of Crete, vowed to sacrifice to Neptune the first living thing he met after escaping from a storm, und this happening to be his son he fulfilled his vow religiously. Medea nearly be came a sacrifice during the return voy ago of the Argonauts. Poor, Tired P. "Johnnie," said his mother threaten ingly to the incorrigible, "I am going to have your father whip you when ho comes home tonight" "Please don't, mamma," replied John hie penitently.

It Is not such a far cry to summer, nnd there In no better tlmo thnn tho present for the mnn who plnns to spend tho miltry season at tho sea shore or on the margin of some cool Inko to consider the question of build ing n summer home for himself. There are many who would build Instead of HIO.NT KI.EVATION. rent were they aware of the possibili ties contained In a houso that can be erected for a remarkably small sum. What is demanded In u house of this character is mainly that it shall be cool. When It combines this quality with that of neatness and roominess, it is doubly attractive. Both features nre to be found In the four room cot tage for which plans are herewith shown, and It has the further redeem ing quality of costing not more than 8400. The exterior, with its porch, hns a very attractive appearance The walls nre painted a dark yellow, with sienna trimmings. The house rests on 12 by 12 inch brick piers. All framing tim bers are of spruce covered with seven eighths Inch square edged surface hem lock boards nnd one layer of building HOTEL PERDLi VAN DRAN BrmTpl TUo TWf Mftff i n I and as good as any, mi Headquarters for Traveling ij u)mmuuiuu5 oampie KoonmJ Rates $2 pet Special rates by week or montlj .Excellent Cuisine, Every itodern Convert Bar and Billiard Room inftoJ m Only Three Blocks from DJ i' 1 jBi m. !

The Biding boards nre of the white pine novelty type securely nailed, with all Joints made tight. Great care should bo taken with tho exterior construc tion, for even In summer time unpleas antly cold winds are apt to be experi enced at the water side. The main room of the houso is n large living room, which answers the purpose of a dining room nnd sitting room .combined. The house should be so placed that this room will face the east, having the sun In the early morn ing and the shade In the afternoon. By tho aid of appropriate decorations nnd ornaments this room can be given a very cheerful appearance. The kitchen Is situated to the left, hnviug good light and a closet.

A cellar can be kept ns pure and dry as any other part of the houso if It but have a reasonable amount of attention. Unless the ground be low, so as to mako water collect In the collar, It Is not necessary, although desirable, to cement tho walls and floor. Bricks set on edge and laid with tight Joints form a clean and satisfactory floor. Slope tho floor so that a dralu will carry off any water that may collect This gives opportunity to fully waBh the cellar, for cleanliness Is as necessary here ns in the other rooms. Light, cleanliuess and pure nlr make the perfect cellar, aa thoy do tho perfect living room. Some Brick Statistics.
