So the employer, determining to ex postulate with tilt offender personally, arrived early one morning and laid in wait for him.

YGUfij LAMBS. Of Fleeting M error y and Creatures >f Opportunity. Concerning the comfortable quit" era that are so tie essary for tue nee lambs Joseph E. Wing lias advised ns follows iu his book on sheep farming in America: There must be provided a small room or pen in which the lambs can g > an ! the ewes cannot. This place must be of very convenient access, so that it is really easier for the lamb to go in than to remain outside. This is because lambs have fleeting memories and are largely the creatures of opportunity. They will consume much more feed when it is right at their mouths than if they have to go even a few rods to seek it. This place, which we call a “creep.” must be in a light part of the barn, and if the sun can shine in all the better, for lambs are attracted by sunlight and greatly benefited by it. This creep need not be very large. If it is twelve feet square it will ac commodate fifty lambs very nicely, as they will not all be in it at one time. It should be separated from the ewes’ part of the barn by a fence of vertical slats spaced about seven inches apart, the slats with rounded edges. This will permit the lambs to pass in and restrain the ewes. After a time the lambs will need some wider openings, and then if small rollers are put up to permit them to squeeze between all the better. In the creep there must be some flat bottomed troughs in which to f iod Jit , M JPk AN ENGLISH LAlklU CKKi.P. grain and a hayra< k for alfalfa Lin-* or clover if it is tiie best at hand. The troughs must be low to permit young lambs readily to reach them. As lambs delight to get into troughs with their feet, the troughs must be cov ered. Let the end of the trough be a solid boa'rd extending up twelve inches above the sides of the trough, pointed at the end like the gable of a house roof, and put upon this two boards like an inverted V. CHEAP FEEDING. A Practical Kansas Farmer Tells How He Does It. At one of the meetings during the last “farmers’ week” at the Kansas State Agricultural college Dr. J. T. Ax tell made a talk of special interest in regard to different ways of feeding alfalfa. Alfalfa, according to Dr. Axtell, con tains from eleven to sixteen and one half parts protein and forty parts car bohydrates, while corn ranges about one-half that amount of protein and one-third that amount of carbohy drates. You will see there, he says, that it requires considerably more corn to af ford an animal the same amount of protein that he would get from a given quantity of alfalfa meal. Now, we have found that an animal (horse or cow) needs about two and one-half pounds of protein and twelve and one half pounds of carbohydrates per day. Alfalfa is wasted feeding as hay, and the meal is too rich as a single feed, so we mix pound for pound of alfalfa meal and ground corn, and in a twenty-five pound feed we have the re quired amount of both protein and carbohydrates. When we were feeding alfalfa rs hay we found that the average amount eaten by each horse per day was from sixty to eighty pounds. They are now allowed fifteen pounds of alfalfa fneal per day and are doing as well on the heavy hay feed. . For Cows and Swine. A cow giving a good flow of milk gets an average feed of about six or seven and one-half pounds of alfalfa meal and one-half to three-fourths gal lons of ground corn, while our driving horses get a ration mixed with three pounds of alfalfa meal and two pounds of ground corn three times per day. with one feed a day of about five pounds of prairie hay. Our ration for swine is mixed with a bit more of corn in the proportion than In the ration for horse or cow. I don’t believe any of you have stock doing better than mine, and I know jiou are not feeding as cheaply as I am. Cement Milk Tank.

Cattle Prices. The average on pure bred cattle sales for 1907 is the highest since 1903, according to the Breeder’s Gazette re view : 83 Shorthorn sales averaged $160.15 ?9 Hereford sales averaged 123.70 18 Aberdeen-Angus sales averaged.. 134.75 3 Galloway sales averaged 139.06 3 Red Polled sales averaged 83.65 In a "Belfry [Original.] On an eminence a few miles north of a town in Alabama stands a church with a belfry. It stood there during the civil war. In the spring of 1802 Dan Harkaway, a young man whose father was a deacon in the church, used to go up Into the belfry daily and Sometimes on moonlight nights to take a look up the turnpike, which was plainly visible for some miles north ward. hoping to catch the first sight of Yankee troops that were expected to •ccupy that region. Harkaway set great store by this vedette system in vented by himself and promised to warn his neighbors in time to set their houses in order and put their silver spoons in the well before the arrival of the enemy. Harkaway was in love with Nancy Durbin, a girl who found it difficult to decide between him and Tom Nolan. One day Nolan overheard some ne groes talking together about the prox imity of the Yankees, some raying that they would come within a few hours. Nolan thought to get ahead of his rival and climbed to the belfry for the pur pose of being first to see the enemy’s approach. Harkaway had placed a ladder on the highest floor, to be reach ed through a trapdoor. By climbing the ladder one could look out through the top openings. Nolan mounted the ladder, and Harkaway, passing below, saw him gazing up the pike. Harkaway determined to punish his rival for assuming a privilege that he reserved for himself and that night went up to the belfry and greased the ends on which the ladder stood. Nolan thought over the matter of the Yan kees’ approach and concluded that ff they occupied the city they would like ly endeavor to surprise it in the early morning before the people were awake. Therefore at the first sign of dawn he entered the tower, intending to watch till after sunrise. He climbed the lad der and, looking up the pike, saw the Yankees coming. He was about to descend to give th® alarm when he felt the ladder slipping away from him. Catching the window sill, he clung to it for a few minutes, then dropped, hurting himself severely. The first thing he did after getting hi® breath back into his body was to ex amine the ends of the laddpr, finding them greased. At the same moment he heard some one enter the building be low and knew that Harkaway was com ing. “I’ll pay the rascal for this,” mut tered Nolan, and, dragging himself to the trapdoor, he put the prop to the trap in a position that one coming into the belfry could scarcely help knocking it away. Then he lay down on the floor near the wall and waited. Harkaway came up and when his head got above the trap saw the fallen ladder and No lan lying on the floor. Thinking he had killed his man, he withdrew hastily, knocking away the prop. The trap with a bang, and Nolan heard his rival tumbling down the stairs. He felt sure that the trap had struck Harkaway on the head, and if it had not killed him his fall doubtless had finished the job. Nolan pulled open the door, crawled down the stairs, pass ed what he believed to be Harkaway’* dead body and rushed frantically out of the church. Harkaway had been knocked unconscious, and when he came to himself and thought of the corpse of Nolan lying in the belfry h® fled from the place as rapidly as his stunned condition would admit. The same morning people living along the line of the pike were awakened from their slumbers by the clatter of horses’ hoofs and swinging sabers, fol lowed by the tread of men marching and the rumble of cannon. Almost be fore the citizens could get on their clothes the troops had passed, and soon the booming of guns could be heard be low. “Whar’s Dan Harkaway?” asked one citizen of another. “Wonder es he hain’t fell asleep in the belfry.” “Tom Nolan, he was a-watchin’ that, too,” said another. When the excitement had quieted down and the sun shone as peacefully over the undulating plantations as it had set the evening before, the two missing men not appearing, a commit tee went into the belfry. Finding the ladder down, the ends greased and blood (from Harka way’s nose) scat tered over the stairs, they concluded that the two men had been playing each other foul and doubtless one had murdered the other or both had been killed. But what had become of the bodies was a mystery. Years passed, and neither Harkaway nor Nolan appeared. When a stranger came into the locality he was sure to be treated to the story of the night the Yankees came and the two young men who were watching for them had dis* appeared. Whether there had been a mutual murder or the Yankees had carried them off was a disputed point. During the eighties a camp of Con federate Veterans was held in the vi cinity, and one day a gray bearded vet stood opposite the church, looking up at the belfry. Another vet came up ind asked him what he was looking at. Then two pair of eyes met, and there was a simultaneous: “By gosh!” “Harkaway ?” “Reckon. Nolan?” “You bet.” “I thought you was killed.” “And I thought you was killed.” “I went off and enlisted in the —th Tennessee.” “And I enlisted in the —th Alabama.” “Seen Nancy?” “No. I heerd she married a Yankee pojer and went no’th with him.” “Waal, I declar’!” VIRGINIA CLAIBOURNE2.
