0! HOLDER FOR UNRULY EWES. Device Which Will Prove Convenient I Lambing Time. We have a plan for making a handy farm device for the holding of unruly ewes during lambing time, which we think will be of Interest to other, writes a correspondent of Prairie Far mer. This holder Is used by us for hold ing stubborn ewes. We had a cou ple of very stubborn ewes lnxt winter which would not own their lumbs. We wanted to save the lambs, as they were very fine ones and we resorted to holding the ewes, but as this took considerable of our time we- devised a holder which holds a sheep fur more securely than two men can by hand. We can place a cwo securely In this holder and go about doing other chores and the lambs will take care trS -w. Rack for Nervous Ewes. it themselves. This holder might be very valuable to any fanner who hns stubborn ewes. We would especially recommend Its use In small llocks. We saved nil of our lambs lust win tcr, which was quite a task, as they were born early In the winter when tie weather was quite cold. We found that by using the holder we were born early In the winter when Jess work. Wo make sheep holders of old fence boards, which did very well, as we find this material plenty strong, but when the lambs tried to suck they let Us know that our device was not com plete. We therefore reported to Iron rods, as hliown In the cut and marked K and L. These are made adjustable for different sizes of sheep as shown in the cut by three rings which rep resent the boles which were bored through tho corner posts. . We used tho axles of an old chil dren's playing wagon. These axles answered the purpose very nicely as they were Just the right length. We . then sawed two boards 34 Inches long, marked 111) In tbe cut. Theso were united to the Inside of the corner posts. Then we attached a board across the front end with a portion marked C In the cut, sawed off so as to give plenty of room for the sheep's throat, enough to hold any of ot:r sheep. In starting tho construction we began with two boards, E and P, about 22 Inches long, to which we nailed the bottom boards, which are 34 inches long. We made four posts of fence boards 2G Inches long, which we attached to the bottom or floor, one on each corner, as shown in tho cut. These posts being marker! A In the sketch. We then proceeded with our work and attached threo boards at ends on bottom, one In front and two In the rear. These we thought would make the ewe stand In proper posi tion. We next attached an old hinge to a board for the rear end of the holder, which wo then fastened to the hold er by one nail through the bottom nail hole la the hinge which allows the board or end gate to drop down out of the way. This Is quite a conveni ence, as It Is out of the way and Is not liable to be broken off by a sheep running against 1L This board Is marked D In the cut This door Is fastened shut by a small hook which roes over the nail In the end of the door. We then found that we must Btrnp oar cheep in the holder to make them secure. 8o we nailed straps to the boards B B, two straps to go over the sheep's back and two straps to go un der the sheep's belly. Those strops as shown In the sketch, are marked O N. They can be made adjustable by putting any number of holes In the straps which may be found necessary for the size of the sheep which tho holder is to accommodate. Four dif ferent straps nre used for this pur pose, one end being securely nailed to the board on the one side amd the other end being slipped over nail, which makes it a very convenient fastening. For making the Iron rods stay In rdace we fastened, a wooden button, a It Is called, which holds the rods in their place. We then Inclosed the front end by nailing boards on slant ingly. This makes the holder much more rigid thau It would be were the boards nailed on straight across; the boards form a very good brace in this way. - Carrots for Horses.

In the days before the dawn of bis fame It was the practice of a certain well known author to wander up and down the land seeking what he might devour In tho way of suggestion and local color. In this way he bud drift ed down Into Arkansas, "roughing it," and not, as he expresses It, presenting an appearance calculated to Inspire a hotel proprietor with unlimited confi dence. The only hotel In the town, a frame structure, seemed to have been built upon the theory that there was plenty of room straight up, but that ground had to be bought, and tbe wanderer was shown to a room on tbe third floor, reached through many narrow and winding passages. From tbe one window It was a straight drop to tho ground. "Say, how .rould I get out of this place in case of fire?" he asked the landlord, who had brought up his grip. The other eyed him coldly. "Wall," he drawled, "all yo' would have to do would be to show tlier night watchman the one with ther shotgun a receipted bill foh yo' board an' lodgln', an' got him to tie up ther bulldog."

The Prospects for a Large Acreage to Be Sown In Wheat, SL Paul, April 24, 1907. Word has been received at the office of the Canadian Government In St Paul that seeding has commenced at various points throughout Manitoba, Saskatch ewan and Alberta. The heavy snowfall during the past winter has left the ground In splendid shape for successful seeding opera tions. Tho fine weather of the past few days has taken much of tbe frost out of the ground and during next week there will scarcely be a district In which the seeder Is not being oper ated. The most optimistic conditions exist and In nil districts tbe farmers are busy getting things In shape. There will be a very large acreage sown In spring wheat, oats and barley. At many points throughout the three provinces tho newcomers are busy tin loading their stock and effects, work ing night and day In order to get on their farms and become active agen cies in the effort to make the year 1907 the banner year lu grain produc ing in Western Canada. As compared with districts many hundred miles further south than this, It will be seen that Western Canada ranks amongst tho first In the line of seeding opera lions for the present year. It Is safe to say that farmers who get In their crop before the 20th or 21th of May. will receive magnificent returns. A number of thoso coming In this spring, who had not their land prepared Inst fall, will break up enough land to get In a crop of oats and barley and prob ably some flax. This, together with tbe vegetables they will plant, will give them ample food for themselves and stock during the coming summer and winter. These early seeding oper ations are not confined to one district, but are sprend over a country 9C0 miles long by 400 miles In width. Tho agents of the Canadian Govern ment, located at different points throughout the United States, are busy giving information regarding the many new districts that are being made available for settlers. Low rull way rates, Information and literature are given on application to the agent, whose name appears In advertisement elsewhere In this paper. All Distractions Barred.

An Interesting case at law, which centered on the observance of an old Jewish custom, was decided In Vienna recently. A merchant, says the Ameri can Inraellte, discharged a clerk on ac count of neglect of duty. Among tho charges against blm was that he came to the store late In the morning be cause ho cttended service at the syna gogue In order to say Kaddish the prayer for the dead for bis father. Tbe clerk argued that It was bis privi lege and his duty to say the prayer for bis departed father, while the mer chant, who was also a religious ma?., maintained that "If Moses bad known that a man bad to pay 8.000 gulden a year rent he would have niude differ ent laws." The Judge would not allow such an argument, but decided In fa vor of the merchant, "because the dally attendance at the synagogue could not be considered tho right of the clerk without the consent of the employer."
