B. llnrtmnn, writing in Wool Mnr kets nnd Sheep on "The Cnre of the Lamb rrom Birth to. Weaning Time," ays in part: Much Indeed could be written on this hackneyed but always Important anil interesting subject, but I will be ns hrief ns possible without evading the most essential points. My aim Is to have my ewes In the best possible con dition at the time of weaning. By best coudltion I do not mean that thry shall be in a fat state nor do I nic.au that they shall be poor, but Just le twlxt and between. When in this con dition. If the ewes have been properly mated, we have an assurance of a good, strong Increase. If possible. Just as soon ns the lamb is dropped, I sepa rate mother and lamb from the balance of the flock until I am sure the lamb has gained strength enough to hold his own in the flock. I take care of them at this stage nnd see that uo tilth gath ers and that the lamb gets started properly. As soon as the lamb shows that he is desirous to cat something, which will be in a few days. I prepuro a creep of some description nnd begin to feed them by themselves. Vou will have only to give them n few lessons as to the way of entering their lunch room, for they are apt scholars and learn rapidly. The bill of fare In the way of grain consists of oats, ollmeal or whatever in this line of feed Is most convenient. I give the little fellows Just whnt they will eat up clean. I feed twice a day, morning nnd evening. I like to have a rape patch for the youngsters nnd their dams ns soon as QUEEN ANNE COTTAGE. Rr-rrn Iloom Dwelling Thnt Will Coat Only S1.IOO to Ilnllil. ICnpvrlRht. ISC by Oeorpe Hitching. U IJnrk row. Times tiuilUlnc. New York. This Queen Anne cottage Is a most picturesque and conveniently arranged structure. The underpinning Is of blue stone pointed up above grade with c SYSTEM OF RUSSIA rnoNT IXEVATIOT. ment and lampblack. The superstruc ture Is frame nnd Is most attractively painted. Very often a beautiful design Is spoil ed by a had combination of colors, and as painting Is n very Important item both ns to decoration and prescrvntlon of the woodwork it should have con-' Hitlerable attention. First, be sure that the best quality Is used nnd have the paint mixed on the Job. Nothing is as durable ns Atlantic white lead and According to Col. William R. Hoi loway. Just returned from St. rotors- burg, where he has spent the last six years as United States Consul, the Russians have much to learn In the way of ngrlculture. According to Colonel Hollowny, nhout S0.000.000 of the 118.000,000 of the Russian population devote their time to agricultural pursuits. The principal crops aro rye, buck wheat, cabtiage, potatoes nnd grass. Considerable wheat Is raised in Southern Russia, where the soil and climate are better, but a curious statement of the snenkor was the fact that It Is necessary to renew each year the seed brought from Siberia, which does not seem to have suf ficient vitality to reproduce itself sat isfactorily in Russian soil. The rommunnl system of land ten ure prevails In Russia. The farm ers live In villages, not on their own land ns in this country, each one be ing alloted a section of land, which he cultivates under rigid rules pre scribed by tho communal laws and received his remuneration In fixed shares of the produce. The so-called "farms" are general ly long, narrow strips of land, some times only a few rods wide, and they may be half a mile or more long. The fundamental defect of this system, as It will appear to nn American, Is tho absence of ownership In several ty ns with us, which Is fatal to en terprise or permanent improvement. As the farmers havo no surety of holding tho same land from year to year, there Is a lack of zoal to Im prove either tho soil or tho fixtures. It Is a slipshod system at best and much llko a tenacy-at-wlll in other countries.

CLOPTOh AGENT 1t2 EAST COURT ST. YOU Should have that beet of WOOD DRY and FINE, that you will find with P. P. COLLIER ment Sheep Men norlnc Greyhonnda. The sheep men of the west, who have suffered serious loss for many years from the depredations of the coyotes, think they have discovered a means for tbclr extermination. Greyhounds alone of all the dogs ln creation arc fleet chough of foot to run down the cow ardly little pests and at the same time have enough grit to give tbem battle. Sheep men about the country are pay ing big prices for blooded dogs, and the friendless coyote Is on a run for his life. For years the ranchers nnd plains men have been skeptical of the stamina and fighting qualities of the greyhound i in a finish tight with a coyote, but that j Idea Is now entirely eradicated. Tront Dr.pltr Coatlr Feed. Wool Markets nnd Sheep says: We know of bunches of sheep which have netted tbelr feeders ell the way from 1 to $l.'0 per head, and the grain fed cost nearly an average of 50 cents per bushel. These lambs, however, were good, thrifty stock and were brought to the yards in line, sappy condition from rape, alfalfa or other cheap fat tening forage. It takes a careful and experienced feeder to feed nil costly grain and still show encouraging mar gins. Shrrp Should Tie Kept Qnlrt. To get the best results sheep should never be frightened nor disturbed nny more than necessary. It Is well when the animals are young to handle them so they will become accustomed to the attendant nnd not be frightened when be approaches. Dogs nnd strangers should be kept out of the feeding pens. A Fine VunDKNtrr. The fine Shropshire lamb shown in the illustration wns bred by William it i i i i m.iw mm B ..

Let tbe ewe lick ber lamb and If she refuses wipe it dry and cover It with a woolen cloth till it gains strength enough to suck, i If the lamb Is too weak to stand nftcr on hour or two, hold it up with one hand under its breast and wltb the other work the teat into Its mouth and draw a little milk to give it a taste. If this cannot lie managed successfully, lay the ewe gently on ber side, baring an assistant to bold ber while you milk a little into tbe lamb's mouth and induce It if pos sible to snck.
