I a Itrleell v. Rcotlnnd Yard would no doubt acorn to tako a story writer into Its council m nu American detective consulted It. L. HlevetiHou.

As they ant loKothvr ono eveiilns on tho vernmbi of nn Inn nt Walklkl the delectlvo confided to Htevcnaoii a onao of extreme dlfllculty ho hud In hand and nlao III theory of It solution. Aa Btevenaoii hardly seemed to attend, tor ho snt looking dreamily nt tho aca, the detective left hlui to hnvo a chat with the more responsive landlord. On hi return to tho veranda, how ever, Htevenanii suddenly rouMod him aelf to any: "I think I have solved that riddle of yotira. You see, It's Jnat like writing n story. If you ko nt It rlKht. It w III work out rlKht. Now, your thoo ry doe not do nt till becaimo It will never work out. Iet mo give you my theory of tho cnae, and then tell me what you think of It." The detective did not lit flrat think anything of Stevenson's theory of tho ease. It wa daring even for a theory and dangerous to work If It did not happen to coino off. Hut on thinking It well over, with Stevenson's shining eyes fixed Intently on hi face, tho pro fessional began to bollovo there was something lu It. When Stevenson at last asked trium phantly, "Well?" ho replied. "Well, sir. I shall try your theory, but if It doesn't win you nml I will lose between us the thousand dollar fee 1 mil to bo paid fur a conviction." At this Stevenson laugh til urn! said. "Sir, If It doesn't win I will pay you tho thousand dollars and throw you the theory lu for nothing." Hut it won. RACING WITH OXEN. An Odd Spurt lnpular In Itaral Ilia Irlela In t.rrmany. In many of the out of the way dis tricts of Ceriniiny ox ruciiiK hn wg been a very iniiilar srt. Tho en rrnnoo fee for tho races Is small, hut tho beiiMts must he ridden hy their own ers. Tho rliler Is not nllowod to have cither whip or spur, nml he must ride his iiiiluiul liarehack, trusting to tils voleo to pild the henst. It Im here that the skill of the rider comes Into piny, ns everything depends upon jhe training of the ox mid the ability of the owner to direct his movement. As the oxen do not nice on a track It Is no easy mutter to (tuldo them. Tho ruee rourso Is n field perhaps a tnllo square, tho stmt beliur made nt ono aide and tho finish at tho other. Speed Is of sec ondary Importance In the race. Like polf, tho sport requires nccurney, ond tho rider who ran force his lumbering charter to ko In u straight lino Is cer tain to win. When nil tho competitors nro lined up at tho stnrtlnir point tho signal to begin tho race is Riven. Then the fun com mences, for In spite of the riders' ef forts tho steeds usually refuse to tiead toward the finish mark, llesldes, the difficulties are greatly Increased from the fact that the onlookers ore allowed to be In the field und may do anything to Interfere with the contestants so long as they do not touch him or the beast. Though oxen arc naturally the lenst excitable of animals, tho noise of tho spectators soon reduces them to a stnto of utter bewilderment. Often an hour will pass beforo ono of the oxen Is rlddeu under tho wire. Tho victor rqcelves n small money prize, which Is nothing compared to the honors brought him by his victory, and the nnlmal Is decorated with garlauds of flowers. Among tho pennants great vents aro reckoned from tho time So-and-so won the ox race. New York Herald. Not a Kerr Cuatont. j Laxity lu public worship has long been a tucmo for preachers. Ia 17J3 one of them wrote of tho conureRntlon of St James, riccadllly, Londou, that "they seem to bo more taken up wltb viewing and contemplating each other's dress and equipage than In paying tbclr devotions to the Divine Being tbey pretend to adore, and It Is usual to see this set of people bowing to their neighbors, with a 'Qlory bo to tho Fa ther lu their mouths." And again, "The ladles show surprising memories on this occasion, being able to relate on tfcelr return borne what clothes every woman of figure bad on from head to foot, the fineness of the lace and the color of every ribbon worn In the as sembly." Longfellow on Error. The little I have seen of the world teaches me to look upon the errors of others In sorrow, not In anger. When I take the history of one poor heart that has sinned and suffered and repre sent to myself tho struggles and temp tatlons It has paasod through, the brief pulsations of Joy, tho feverish In quietude of hopo and fear, tho pressure of want, the desertion of friends, I would fain leave the erring soul of my fellow man with him from whose hand It came.

In a majority ( of Instances In some sections of ths , country tbey are simply abused. It is ! not Intentional abuse. It Is abuse that ! Is the outcome of not knowing. Ths t sow Is extoctod to reproduce her kind nnder conditions not rn consonance with the laws of reproduction. Fhe Is denied the right kind of food, the right kind of shelter and the proper amount of exercise. How con she reproduce as she ought to? 8he should be fed a balanced ra tionthat is, she should be fed a ration with a due proportion of protein in It and a due proportion of carbohydrates. The former should bo In the ascendant since It produces muscle and the sow is presupposed to be pregnant at that sea son. Unless she Is fed liberally of pro tein the young swine In embryo will not be properly nourished. They will be deficient In vitality at birth and In all round stamina subsequently. She I must be fed food sufficiently suppneu with ash or the young pigs will be de ficient In bone. She must also be fed a certain proportion of carbohydrates or she will not stand up so well against cold. ' One of the best combinations In the northern states la field roots and corn, except when the weather Is very ex treme. The amount of corn wanted Is relatively small, only a few ears per day. Such a diet Is cheap. Ground rye or barley may take the place of corn. In the south cowpeas and alfalfa answer well or cowpeas and sweet po tatoes. All corn or rye or barley Is in a sense fatal to well doing. If sows can be fed much skim milk then tbey may also be fed considerable corn, since the milk Is very rich In protein. As with feeding the sow, a few prin ciples should be borne In mind which will Indicate what should be done un der the conditions which must govern the action of the fanner in this mat ter. The shelter should be warm enough to keep the animals in comfort. It should have ample ventilation. The bed should be dry, as sows suffer easily from cold. The hair covering does not protect them as the thick coat of. a cattle beast protects cattle. If not kept reasonably warm by shelter, the neces sary warmth must be obtained by add ed food. If the ventilation is not enough, steam will be produced In cold weather within the shelter, and this will Induce dampness, very Injurious to swine In cold weather. If the bed Is damp for any prolonged period, there Is danger that rheumatism may set In. There is no way by which a brood sow can be exercised so well In cold winter climates as by giving her ac cess to a barnyard. She will root amid the contents of the place for sheltered grain. In doing so she gets the exer cise that she must take If her progeny are to be strong and vigorous at birth. Some farmers even scatter grain occa sionally over the litter or manure heap or over frozen ground in a sheltered place. Sllaara Good For Sheep. Silage Is a most excellent food for sheep, says E. Van AJstyne In Rural New Yorker. They become very fond of It, and it will tend to keep their bowels in good condition and stimulate the milk flow. Last year when the major part of our root crop was frozen In we fed more of it to our sheep than ever before, and while not quite so good as roots I can but speak of It In the highest terms. POINTS ON FEEDING When you want to fatten sheep do not throw In a great volume of feed at one time; they will waste It and also be disgusted with It Give them just enough to eat up clean and no more and they will stay on their feed and fatten fast Peaaata For Hosa. In the fall of 1903 five Tamworth bogs, aggregating 805 pounds, were pastured for twenty days upon Span ish peanuts. At the eud of the twenty days they weighed 1,124 pounds, the five gaining 229 pounds, or 43.8 pounds per hog In twenty days. The average grain of each hog was 2.29 pounds per day. Bulletin Arkansas Experiment Station. Soaking Grain For Pisa. Authoritative data Is not plentiful upon the point of the relative value of dry and soaked whole grain for the feeding of pigs, but such tests as have been made seem to Indicate that there la a considerable advantage In favor of the soaked grain. Alfalfa For Ilorsea. Horses are often fed too much al falfa. This Is Indicated by Indigestion, which finally manifests itself In scours. A horse of 1,000 pounds should not eat over twenty pounds of alfalfa per day. If appetite Is left to determine the quantity some Individuals will devour thirty or more pounds. Farm rrogreas. Steer Feeding. Alfalfa hay combined wltb corn and cob meal gave the best results to fat tening steers at the Kansas station when tested against a mixture of sev eral grains and bays, Including corn ensilage. Tha Colt's Feed. The second winter in a colt's life tha feed should bo Increased enough to keep the colt growing and In good con dition. This should be followed up, Ms feed being Increased a little every year until fully matured. If Ilk For Hoara. Hogs need fresh, clear water even when they are fed on slop. Clabber Is not as good for growing pigs as butter milk or sweet milk.
