The personal recommendations of people who have been cured of coughs and colds by Cham berlain's Cough Remedy have done more than all else to make it a staple article of trade and com merce over a large part of the civilized world. AN INSTANCE. Lucy Suddrcth, of Lenoir, N. C, had been troubled with very bad cou;;h for over a year. She says : " A friend bought a little of Chamiikri.ain's Coit.h Rkmudy, brought it to me and insisted that I should take it. I did so and to my imrprtse it helped aie. Four bottles of it cured me of my cough." Glirrpsea of Farm Shepherding In New England. My florii of sheep, which usually numbers 100 to l.'O, is left lu the pas ture as Ioiir as they can find uuflicient iVcd.-nnd that Is up to the time of the llrst Kiioivn which cover the ground to a Vt!i of three Inches or more. Last fall the kiiow whs twelve inches detp when we brought them in. I think the sheep do better on the hills where there is jjood protection from cold winds thiui I hey do In the barn uutil the weather comes quite cold, provid ed they en n tlnd suilicient feed. Nov. 25 Is the IiiteKt mine ever stayed out. V. 'hen mice taken In I do not like to let Iheui out iijj.-iiii till Hpi-Ing. even If It eo.nes Kuiuiiicr weather for a few hi;. s, as it lakes uliout n week or ten days to tfet them well started on to dry hay feed, and If ii,Miii turned to j grans you have the same process to go over, nn.l (hut to the detriment of the (lock. Tor the liist two weeks we put theai on to the best hay we have, nnd after that they will eat most any good hay. My experience is that sheep do better in odd sheds and barns than hi warm ones. They seem as happy with the mercury at HO degrees below as with It CO degrees above-yes, I think they like It better. I only feed them twice a day the morning feed at about 8 o'clock mid the evening at 4 till about March, and then a change to 7 and 5 Is made. Sheep are like boys, they don't like to get up early In the morn ing, and 1 never like to drive them up. but like to 'feed them regularly, not varying more than half an hour if pos sible, says r;. I.. Tracy of Vermont in New England Homestead. Woolly Backs on Rough Land. Although a hardy race In their na tive mountains, w here they must strug gle vigorously for existence, sheep be come very sensitive when transplanted to more favorable surroundings. lu the midst of luxurious summer pas turage they lead a life of enervating ease, nii'l some degree or shelter is required to enable them to endure the hardships of cold weather. Occasion ally the shoe!) owner allows his Hock to remain In the open throughout the winter, providing only simply built sheils for refuge at night and on stormy days. In such a case the sheep must be furnished with abundant and j it, THE KHI l.TKIl ON THE HILMIDK. proper food. Hut even under such con ditions the experiment Is n doubtful one, according to a writer in Rural New Yorker, which pictures n hillside shelter In use In New Hampshlie. A great majority of flockmasters pre fer to house their sheep In the white In roomy and comfortable barns. Throughout the bracing nuttmin days the sheep are turned Into the sunniest pastures until the final coming of win ter. Little harm Is done to the vege tation by (he first light snow, which may fall In November, and the active sheep soon push It aside to nibble eagerly at the grass below. It Is rare ly before the 1st of December that the permanent shelter of the sheep barn Is sought. Viewing Horse. When going to look at a horse offered for sale It Is well to keep your eyes open for signs that will Indicate his disposition and other practical quali ties. Thus battered places ou the posts or sides of tho stall may suggest a kicker, says a writer lu American Cul tlvator. Torn or gnawed blankets hint that the horse has vicious habits in this direction and possibly bad diges tion, as unnatural habits of eating usually Indicate something wrong with the digestive apparatus. If the horse falls to stand squarely on both fore feet one of the feet may be tender or defective. When the horse Is moved out of the stall his gait may Indicate the condition of his legs and feet. In putting on the harness something may te Judged from the way ho takes the bit, bridle and crupper. The feet should be examined with especial care. Hoofs should be plump and well rounded, not pinched at the heel, not too flat. Heels should bo high and strong without spring. Silky hair on the feet and legs Indicates strong, flinty bone, but coarse hnlr sui'ircsts coarse, brittle bone. Banding Pigeons.

We a Lambs From the Range Late, but Husky Little Feeders. "What about those little lambs; they look cheap to me?" remarked the Michigan feeder to his commission man. "Nobody wants them." was the reply, "and unless yon know how to handle them I would advise you to buy something else. But they are money makers for the man who can take care of them. All you have to do to to avoid overfeeding and give them proper care. Too many make the mis take in putting light western lambs on feed of crowding them under the im pression that they have been starved, whereas they come from a range where lambs are dropped lute and have not had time to grow." It is suggestive of the short feeding furore among both cattle and sheep finishers that demand centers on stock carrying flesh that can be sent back to market within two or three months at the most. The stocker proposition appeals to few, and opportunities for quick action are feverishly sought. While fifty-five to sixty pound feeding lambs have been in keen request around 7 cents, "peewee" stuff has found few bidders at 5',i to G cents. At this season North Dakota furnishes a lot of these little lambs, aud as kill ers cauuot use them they have but one outlet. This year the spread between them aud heavy Iambs Is unusually wide, apparently affording the feeder a profitable opportunity to handle the light kind. "Sixty cent corn is the factor," said a trader. "Everybody is afraid of stock that has to be fed any considerable time." Little husky western feeding lambs, well handled through the winter, sheared In the spring and sent to mar ket fat at a time when big feed lots have been depleted aud springers have not yet made their appearance, wil make money this winter If the crop on feed Is as short as generally be lieved. concludes the Breeder's Ga zette, Chicago. Special For Swine Men. The Idea of specialization is growing, creeping up over the horizon like storm cloud from the west, at first a small, insignificant patch, but growing and gathering force as it comes on. The swine man seems to be the last one caught In the swirl. Corn, King Corn, Is pre-eminently the finishing food for swine and Is not a good food for the breeding herd only In limited amount. The corn belt is surrounded by unparalleled breeding ground for swine. Here Is a great op portunlty for specialists. Let the man with his clovers and vetches and peas and rye breed and grow pigs to weaning time or a little longer and then send them to the great corn belt for finishing. Tho great capacious maw of the mid dle states can swallow up au unlimited amount of shoats weighing from fifty to a hundred pounds. The cattle feed ers and corn growers are always hun gry for them. There nre some very successful men who grow their pigs till they bring $5 per head; theu they go to the big cat tle feeders. It is surprising how small a pig these feeders will take at $3 If they can get n bunch together, says a writer in National Swine Magazine. Some Cheap Cows. The Live Stock World says in re porting a recent Iowa Shorthorn sale: "Lone Birch Daisy, a large roan cow, with a first class heifer calf at foot, at $85, was about the cheapest thing sold. She Is said to give a ten quart pailful of milk night nnd morn ing." Wonder why Daisy weut so cheap? Simply because she was not "pure Scotch." Several others not Scotch sold for even less. The day will come when these good, big, heavy milking Shorthorn cows will be wanted again, and we advise any young farmer to pick them up when they go at such prices. They will make money for him right from the start and keep ou making it. Nev er mind about the Scotch part of It Buy good cattle at such figures every time. National Stockman. HEALTH REGULATIONS.

These regulations lied witu a numuei "i which are me among THE FARMER'S SHEEP. Why Fall Lambs Mean Satisfaction to a Sheep Grower. urignton is the great live stock market of the New England states. A Country Gentleman correspondent says: ine next few years will see more native lambs In Brighton than ever before in its history. Do not let me opportunity escape you. If you do not grasp it others will." In the same Journal W. G. Appleby of the Fillmore farms, Vermont, gives the following ns In brief a few of the reasons why he considers Dorsets the most profitable oreea or sueep a farmer can keep: ine ewes drop their lambs in the fall wheu they are In better condition thnn they would be In the spring unless they have been highly fed during the winter, and when the lambs ed they can be kept very cheaply until spring. They should be fed some grain again, however, for a little while be fore mating with the ram. Dorset lambs that are bom in ta fall and early winter bring double the price that other lambs four to five months old born In the sprinir wmii.i do. " " Fall la mls that are kept for breeders j are sheared lu the spring, when they j will shear between four aud five j pounds of wool. This goes a long wty : to pay for their winter's keep, j Early lambs are loss liable to Infec tion by Internal parasites than lambs boru In the spring. In fact, by proper management Dorset lambs can be kept practically free from stomach worms, perhaps the greatest drawback to uo fessful sheep breeding. Vigorog Males Needed.

The clipping of long hairs from the udder and the right side of the cow Is of assistance in preventing the collec tion of filth which may drop into the mill.-. The tails should be cut so that the brush should be well above the ground In winter the tail may be clipped. The cows should be bedded with sawdust, shavings, dried leaves, straw or some eaually clean material The use of horse manure for bedding is to be condemned To prevent the cows from lying down and getting dirty between clean ing and milking a throatlatch of rope or chain should be fastened across the stanchions under the cow's neck The milkers should be clean. Their hands should be thoroughly washed with soap and water and care fully dried on clean towels before milking. Clean overalls and Jumpers should be worn during the milking of the cows, should be used for no other pur pose and when not in use should be kept in a clean place, protected from dust. The hands and teats should be kept dry during milking. The practice of moistening the hands with milk is to be condemned. The first few streams from each teat should be rejected, as these contain more bacteria than the rest of the milk. All milk drawn from the cows thir ty days before and ten days after calv ing should be rejected and also all milk from diseased cows. The pail In which the milk Is drawn should have as small an opening at the top as can be used in milking. This renders collection of dust less likely. The milking should be done rapidly and quietly, and the cows should he treated kindly. Dry fodder should not be fed to the cows during or just before milking, as dust therefrom will fall into the milk. The milk should be removed as soon as drawn to the milk house and strain ed and cooled to the proper tempera ture at once. If aerators are used they should stand where the air Is free from dust or odor, and on no account should they be used in a stable. Feeding Cut Bone. Cut fresh bone and meat are better than beef scraps If both meat and bone are really fresh. If they have turned green and evidence the begin ning of going bad, bury them deep. Do not feed tainted meat or bone. Do not feed cut fresh bone to chicks that are very young, not until they are, say, six weeks old. Trim off a little of the raw beef, chop that and feed to baby chicks, a little at first aud lnereaslnor s they get older. Even our Grandfathers knew what BALLARD'S SNOW LINIMENT will do.

With the device here sketched it Is a simple matter to paraffin butter tubs where steam is at hand, as In cream eries. A writer in the Dairy Record explains the construction as follows: Take two heavy tin pans, not quite as large around as the old style common milk pan, and set one inside the other, soldering the space between the rims so as to leave the bottom of the two pans about a half Inch apart. The i Ms PAN FOB MELTING PARAFFIN. solder should be applied between the two rims so as to make this space air tight, and the only outlet is formed by a stopcock, which is soldered into the lower tin pan Just below the rim. By opening this stopcock a circulation Is created, allowing exhausted steam to escape. The bottom of the lower pan has a pipe nipple soldered into It, to which a rubber hose from the steam pipe may be attached, thus forming au Inlet for the heated steam which is to melt the paraffin in the pan. To make a holder for the pans attach a shelf to the wall where It will be handy and saw a hole through one end of the shelf In which to set the melting out fit. In turning on steam be careful not to make the pressure too great, as It Is liable to burst the pans apart. The Secret of & Beautiful Far. lies in keeping the skin pro tectedaswellascleansed.
