At eight to ten days of age lambs will begin to eat. At that time a creep should be built which will give them access to a feed box containing t grain and a trough with hay. Ljax, c trough and feed should always be y kept sweet and clean. A good grain ration for lambs is made as follows: Mix one-third par-t1 of oilmeal with one part each of bran, oats and fine cornmeal. RodJ alfalfa hay or the second cutting of alfalfa hay are the most desirable form of roughage. Of the two alfalfa' si to be much preferred. It is a good idea to keep up the train feed right along until the lambs are sent to market. By so doing the a~ tlambs are kept fat all the time and 1 are ready to be turned into cash on short notice should the market take a n sudden rise. Hog Cholera. A mubscriber's prevetitive for hogt Iholera--we print it for just what it is worth without any comments: Wood Sharcoal, 1 pound; salt, 2 pounds; so ium bicarbonate, 2 pounds; sodium yposulphite, 2 pounds; sodium sul phate, 1 pound; black antimony, 1 r ound; sulphur, 1 pound. Have the kruggist pulverize- it and thoroughly mix. A tablespoonful once a day for bach 200 pounds of hog is the right ods. mixed in a soft food. This is a hheap remedy and harmless. Keeping Sheep.

GOOD FITTINGs FOR STABLES Guildlngs Shouh, Be Well Lighted and High Enough for Ample Ventila tion-Size ct Doors. The stables for the stock should be Well lighted, high cnough for ample ventilation and the stalls wide and long enough for the stock to rest in com 'ort. The stable doors should be fully lour feet in width, hung on rollers; .his will prevent an animal from being njured in passing in or out of a half )pen door. The winter doors should )e solid and slotted in summer. The 'ollowing dimensions will prove satis actory: Width of double stall with tanchions for cows, 6 feet; width of eed trough, 18 inches; width of feed >assago between two rows of cattle, feet; length of stall from stanchion o gutter for small cows, 5 feet; length >f stall from stanchion to gutter for arge cows, 6 feet; length of partitions ietwecn stalls, 4 feet; width of manure ,utter in cow stable, 12 inches; depth of gutter, 8 Inches, and walk behind ows, 2 feet.

A concrete floor put down on a prop rly graded 8-inch base of crackad tone is not too hard if the cattle are vell bedded. The best floor for horses 9 one of red clay, just made mcist inough to pack down firm. A clay loor is best for horses' feet. A stone loor is too hard, and a board floor is: oo dry. The stable should face south; lie doors shoould open out upon a well heltered, dry yard, securely fenced. tunning water in the yard, with drain o carry off the overflow, is to be pre eqrrzl'to water in the stable. Heat-Producing Food to Sow. Sows that are fed on corn and other oncentrated, heat-producing foods uring pregnancy are quite sure to xperience more or less difficulty at arrowing time and we need not ilame the sow or wonder if she is ross and feverish and runs and hases the pigs up in one corner of he peni, or even turns upon them and evours them. Coliar for Horse. Do not compel your horses to begin he season's work wvith ipoorly-fitting oliars. 'i ovide a collar that fits tell and make no change. L1VISTOCJ The sows should farrow in March. The check-rein is as comfortable to. horse as the high collar is to a work igman. An excellent bedding for hogs is iarsh hay or pulp from sugar cane ieal. This gives out very little dust. On a farm of 100 acres or over it ays much better to sell sheep as mut on instead of stock for te epe o fatten.rete epe A handful of oil meal given to the: orso once a day will keep him in ood condition and makes his coat soft nd sleek. The pigs should be allowed the free ange of an alfalfa field and fed milk ad shorts and' barley, or a mixture of he three. If you cannot afford to buy pure-bred iares at the start, buy the best you an, then trade and buy until -you can et tho real article. It is easy to teach a suckling colt ow to drink milk, and a quart of ,arm cow's milk in the morning will lye it a good start. Many mares are unable to supply heir colts with sufficient milk, particu. arly when hard worked. In such cases hey should be helped out. The average farmer can care foi' our or five sews with very littld rouble; but keep good ones, as crubs are likely to lose money for on. Sheep will dig pretty close to the rass roots in the early spring if you, ive them a chance, They like a taste f something fresh. If you feed them lenty of turnips this will help to sat afy their appetites, It is the farmer who keeps sheep or a number of years that finds themn 30st profitable. Some years they will eturn a much better profit than oth. ra and it is hard to sell and buy at uat the right time. PA' MOIW r YPe .WZ A.1 / i T is Impossible for a loyal Ameri about Havana harbor and look out on the tower of the Maine and the twisted steel that once formed her huU and not feel a sense of Indig nation and a conviction that what fol lowed was a just retribution for so dastardly an act, if the Spaniards ac tually comnitted the deed. One feels a hnd of personal inter est in the vessel that carried the flag for years, that figured in the national drama so tragically, that must forever appear in the annals of our country. Whether or not the Spaniards were guilty of the vessel's destruction is ex pected to be developed when the hulk Is imuovered. The battleship Maine was sunk in Havana harbor 13 years ago. The wreck of the Maine could have been blown up and thus disposed of at a cost of $20,000. The Cuban govern ment wo- ted to do that in order to clear the- harbor. But Uncle Sam would not have it, and so for years a mass of twisted Iron, sentineled by a lone turret, has grinned, skull-like, at the passing world. Congress, aroused finally to action by public sentiment, appropriated $300,000 to be expended in raising the Maine. The Maine at the time of the explo sion was swinging with her nose to ward the Havana sherc, and the wreck lies in a line almost west and east, bow and strn. The buoy to which she was moored was about three-eighths of a mile from the west shore of the bay. The wreck lies in about the cen ter of the harbor. On the 15th of February each year the Americans in Havana have visit ed the wreck and decorated it with wreaths and offered prayeri for the men w ho were swecpt to death on that dreadful February uight. There are conflicting reports as' to the conditionl of the hull. A Spa~niih board of ivestigationi oflicially i rport ed to the Spanish government that the bow is ini one place, whilo a Cuban board locatedl it In another. A United States investigation agreed with neit h er. The wvater' dlepth is from 30 to 37 feet. TIhe vessel is (or was) about 33 feet in height-that is, to the top of her decks. The deck is now 19 feet below the surface of the wanter. The mainmast and the fighting tolp are ex posed-also a par-t of the house, turned upside down. After their long neglect the bodies of the unfortunate seamen, who wvent to their death on that February night 13 years ago, will find a resting place in the Arlington National cemetery under the stump of the fighting mast which now thrusts Its top above the waters of Havana bay. The dleencies will thus be satisfied. Blut it is not sentiment alone which is directing the activities of the government engi nleer's. If it were only that their prob 1em would b e immensely simpilified. The cause of the explosion remains unknown; In the wvrcck itself the en gineers hope to find evidence which will explain the mystery. All their plans, accordingly, were laid with a view to leaving such evidence as might exist undisturbed. Briefly and nohi-tochnically, the plan being used to raise the vessel is as follows: A series of cylinders-20 in number-foring a cofferdami, are be ing sunk in the wvater, sit and mud around the wreck. These cylinders, when completed, will form a-n egg shaped dam encircling the wreck. This damn will be made watertight and the water inside pumped out. Ilydraulic pumps wvill suck out the mud and tho &8///sYG CO/F47RMMI AR/~ 44 "' I ......... WN WTIER /Y P/MPED 0/I7 Maine and her fatal wounds will be exposed. The coistruction of this series of CYlinders is the work vw under way. Half of the 20 cylinders are down nOw. They are made of Lackawauna sheet steel pilings and about 150 piles are needed for each. Each cylinder is 50 feet in diameter and each pile is 75 feet in le'igth. Steam hammers mounted on barges are used to drive these piles, and four of thom are at work at the same time. Tho bed of the harbor is soft down to about 60 feet. Below this the piles must le driven into from 10 to 15 feet of stiff clay. As the cylinders are completed each is filled with clay, scooped up by an immense steam dredge from a bank near Regia. The cylinders are connected by an are on the outside, which joins each cylinder by a "three-way" Ile. The pocket between the arc and the cyllin ders will also be filled with clay and thus prevent leakage between the cyl inders. In other words, there will be 2 )ig, round affairs that look like gas tanks, filled with clay and locked together around the suniken wreck. It will take, it is calculated, about two days to pump the water out of the space within the circle of cylindrical gas tank affairs and more time to suck the mud out. After the vessel is "exposed," the work of raising the Maine will begin. low to proceed, what course to pur-. sue, what equipment will be required, all these are questions that only time and the preliminary work of exposing the wreck to view can answer. For: no one knows the vessel's conditionq No one can say with accuracy wheth er or not the vessel can be floated; If it be humafily possible, the holes in the ships's sides will be patched up, the water let in through the dam of cylinders, and the hulk floated. If the bow is heyond repair, the Maine will be cut in two, bulkhead and stern1 floated. The Cuban government is assisting the United States in this work most cordially. A wharf of sufileient size, conveniently located in Casa IBlanca, jutst beneath the walls of the Cabana fortress, has been set aside for the work. To place the cylinders, ordin ary round pilos are dIriven at the axis of each. A roundim this central pile is floated a templet of wood, made in sections for ease of removal. The sheet piles are shipped in lengths of 25, 35, 4i0 and 60 feet, and are bored and providled with flsh-pla tes and blts for assemlilng into lengths of 75 feet. Tlhe piles for a comiplete cyl indler are set upl around a tempUilet and then driveni to the required dlepth. After any remains of the dead found in the wvreck have b~een remlovedi and the necessary examination has been made, the actual removal of the wreck w~ill be begun by whatever met hod is foun td most economical and ad van.. tageous. It. now seems probable that this will be to sever the shattered por tion of the hull from the after part, to build a bulkhead across the cut sec tion, to remove the shattered parts. piecemen.l and finally to float the un broken end away from Hlavana.

"It I told you howv many maga. sine stories of mine were rejected befor-e my first novel made a lilt, you'd never believe It. "Success is like skating," satd Mr. Phillip~s. "When T was a little boy in Madison, another little boy said to me enviously one winter day: "'How did you learn to skate so "'Oh, just by getting up every time I fell down,' I said." Sidestepping.
