TMs great stock medicine is
money saver for ftock raisers. It
b a medicine, not a cheap food or
condition powder. Though put op
in coarser form- than- Thedford'g
Black-Dranght, renowned for. the
core of the digestion troubles of
persons, it has the same qualities
of invigorating digestion, atirring
op the torpid liver and loosening
the constipated bowels for, all stock
and poultry. It is carefully pre
cared and its action is so healthful
that stock grow.and thrive with an
occasional doaff in. their food. It
cures hogcholera and makes hogs
grow fat. . It cures chicken cholera
and roup and makes hens .lay. -" It
cures constipation, distemper, and
colds in horses, .murrain in cattle,
and makes a draught animal do
more work for the food consumed.
It gives animal and fowls 6f all
kinds now. life. Every farmer and
raiser should certainly give it a
trial.
It costs 25c. a can and saves ten
tunes its price in ofit.

SI was a young dog, but he
looked like an old one.
Wearily shambling along the
street, he stared hungrily at
the grocers' tempting windows. Oh
for a taste not of the hams and the
tongues, but of the salted barring, the
creamy codfish, the glistening beaps of
smelts in their wicker baskets!
All winter he bad supported himself
In the most miserable of ways. Now
Y spring as coming, and he was tired
out so very, very tired.
The dogs of this Canadian city knew
that be was a stranger and bad fought
'him continuously. There were certain
streets, the best streets for 'pickings,
that be dared not enter. The shopping
streets were not good ones for scrap
boxes and barrels of rubbish, and be
had become hungry very hungry and,
stopping snort, be sat down on the
frosty pavement and looked disconso
lately about blm.
No home, no master and he had been
brought up like a baby! These well
dressed persons contemptuously avoid
ed the place where he sat He was
dirty, and there were sore spots
him where he bad been bitten. Ladies
drew their skirts aside; children start
ed back in affright from bis lean and
shaggy form. One little girl called
hint a sheep.' Another said, "Look,
mamma, at the funny wolf 1"
Poor, sad eyed dog! He was almost
at the end of his power of ? endurance,
but lie did not know it He thought he
would Just lie down here on the hard
pavement in sight of the delicious mor
sels In the windows, and when he was
rested he would move on, on in his end
less quest for food.
' He curled himself np In a ball, bis
tired eyes were Just closing closing In
a sleep wlilcn IT begun would never
have ended when he was roused by
an exclamation: "Hello, dogl Ton look
beat out!" ,
He raised his bead. A tall lad
standing over blm, an overgrown lad
with twinkling eyes, a thin Jacket and
bare bands thrust into bis pockets to
keep them warm.
The dog attempted to get on his feet
This was the first kind word be bad
beard for many a day, . but strangely
enough, his legs doubled under blm
whenever he tried to stand on them.
"Blest If he isn't played out" par-
sued the boy. "Can't yon stand np,
flogT Come, try again."
The animal did try again; his Hp
curled back In a feeble dog smile, but
the strength was all gone ont of bis
limbs, and, gazing np helplessly into
the lad's face, be seemed to say. "It's
of no use better let me alone."
"CrickyP observed the boy. "Isn't
be queer looking? I believe he's an In
dian dog. Some old MIcmac from the
camps has brought him Into the city
and deserted him. They often do when
food Is scarce out there. Poor. brute!
He hasn't been able to pick np much of
a living In the streets, and he's starr
ing to death. How much of the need
ful have I about me?" And be drew
one red hand from bis pocket "Three
cents not a fortune; still enough to
buy sodas. I say, mister," and be. en
tered a nearby grocery, glv me
cents' worth of crackers." .
: The grocer tossed the boy a bag, and
he slipped ont to the dog.
"Here, old man, eat some."
The dog put out bis pink tongue and
licked feebly at the crackers. What
was the matter with blm? He wanted
to eat them, yet he could not
'Til tell you what dog," said the hoy
briskly. "You're most at the end of
your tether. You went hot stuff Inside
yon. Coma on home with me. If yon
stay here ifs all np with you. A police
man will catch you; then It's a shot In
that wolfy bead of years and the bot
tom of the harbor. I'll help yon."
The doc was absolutely unable to
move, and the boy bent over blm.
"Confederation! What a smell! I
guess yon don't know what the Inside
of a bath looks like. However. a om
dirty, too. If I'd never been washed,
and I'm not going to see a dog go un

rose. Here yon go!" And, taking the
weary beast In hi strong young arms,
he flans- him over his shoulder and
went staggering up the bill.
Every boy that be met Jeered at him,
and to every one be flung a saucy an

were sympathising, and If it bad not

on Joyfully "Just the thlug to keep
the rain out and an old barrel for a
front hall, by which yon can enter
your mansion, dog," and, dragging his
spoils after him, he came back to the
place where the starving animal lay,
"Cold, eh?" and he laid his band on
the dog's back. "No, you're not shiv
ering. You must be an Indian dog
think I'll call you Eoojemook. That's
all the MIcmac I know, and It means
'Get outr I guess that's what people
have been saying to yon all winter.
Now, Isn't that snug?" And, carefully
toppling the box over the dog, he pull
ed off a couple of loose boards, fitted
the barrel In the aperture, propped
coal hod and some battered tin cans
beside It and finally bad a rain proof
If not very elegant kennel.
The dog made no show of pleasure,
except that his brown eyes followed
the boy wherever he went The look In
those eyes was enough. The boy un
derstood him.
"Now, Koojemook," said the lad at
last "I must run. over to the house,
but I'll be back Just as soon as I can
pull the wool over step-ma's eyas. She'
pretty cute, and It isn't easy to fool
her, but I'll make a try. So long."
And, with a farewell tap on the box,
he started off for the cottage.
"Is that you. Tbuddyr' called a me
tallic voice as be was stamping his
feet in the little back porch.
"Yes, ma'am," be said vigorously.
"You're Inte," went on the voice.
"You've kept tea waiting."
"No. I'm not." said Thoddy. still
stamping, "anil I h:inn't mustn't
give up contradicting her," he went on

the voice, and, s'cnphig into the
kitchen, Thaddy found liitmelf - con-'
fronted by a small Hired, black eyed
young woman, who held a toasting
fork in her hnml.
"If you won't ruu mo thronsh, step
ma, I'll give you a kiss," said the boy,
with an extra twinkle in bis eye.
- The little woman lowered uer fork.
She had a sharp tongue, but she loved
to be petted.
The boy's eyes were running approv
ingly around the room. "Good fire!
Nice teal Step-ma, how long baa that
fire been lighted? It looks fresh, and,
upon my word, there Is hardly a mite
of ashes."
Before the woman could prevent him
he had opened the stove door. "Now,
step-ma, you're been sitting In this
cold house without a speck of fire."
"I wasn't cold," she said stoutly. "I
was by the window in the sun, and I
bad my big shawl on."
"That's what my Latin grammar
calls a fraus pla," remarked Thaddy,
" (Mak ill call you Koojemook."

roughly to himself. "Here yon are alt

"For what we are about to" receive
may the Lord make us truly thankful,"
murmured the boy reverently.
"Here's a bowl of soup for you," said
Mrs. Timbs, getting np and going to the
oven. "I most forgot it"
"Where's yours?" asked Thaddy,
peering over at her.
She smiled in a tired way and. lean
ing back In ber chair, played with hsr
piece of toast .
"I'm not hungry," she said at last
"If you'll excuse me, I'll run over to
Mrs. Goldman's. She said she knew
woman who would give me fine sew-
4ng, and she was going to find out the
address."
As soon as Mrs. Timbs left the room
the boy tiptoed to the window. He
watched her enter a cottage a short
distance down the street; then, rspldly
emptying the piute of muffins into his
bowl of soup, he darted from the house
In the direction of the famishing dog.
"Here, dog," he said, pushing In tbs
bowl to the sick animal, who lay lux
uriously on his bed of ashes; "I wish
yon were a few sizes smaller, but this
will help to fill np."
It was dark inside the box, but the
boy could bear the pleased and hurried
lapping of the starving animal.
Sitting back on his heels, he stared
across the dumps In a kind of comical
dismay. "He's going to lire, and now
I've got two wolves to feed one in
side of me and the other Inside of that
dog and step-ma's nose getting sharp
er and sharper from denying herself.
I believe I ought to have this dog put
out of the world. I'll tell a policeman
tomorrow. Hello, boy, have you fin
ished?"
The sound of lapping had ceased and
there was a scratching inside the box,
When the boy stretched out his hand
for the bowl be found the dog had
partly raised himself and wss weakly
pawing the air.
"Blest If he Isn't trying to shake
hands," muttered the boy. "Some one's
taught blm that Very well, old fel
low; you're powerful dirty, still I'll
not refuse to shake a paw. Yes, It's
all right. I'll not give you up to the
police not after that paw shake.
Guess I wouldn't like any one to shoot
the life out of me. Good, night, now,
but before I go listen to me and take
another look at that brown cottage
pointed out to you. Don't yon go near
it There's a lady In It with double
barreled eyes and an awful mouth full
of swords and ears that can hear
mile off. You're a goner If you venture
near her. D'ye hear?"
The dog did hear and understood.
He curled himself up on his bed. and,
hastily replacing his shelter, the boy
ran back to the bouse.
When his stepmother returned be
was at the sink, whistling cheerfully
and washing bis soup bowL
"Was it nice, Thaddy?" asked Mrs.
Timbs.
"Lovely, step-ma," replied Thaddy.
"I guess If you Just knew how that
soup was appreciated you'd think you
were the be?t cook In creation."
"I thought you weren't very fond of
soup, Thaddy," she said suspiciously,
"but I Just bad to make that because I
bad the bones."
"Step-ma," said Thaddy solemnly,
"can't you believe me when I tell you
that that soup went right to the spot?"
"Yes, I believe you, Thaddy. You've
never told me a lie yet" she returned
kindly.
Thaddy at once oecame aejecrea ana
stifled a heavy sigh ss he put his bowl
on the dresser and went to a cupboard
for bis scboolbooks. '
"Isn't It too soon to work after eat
ing?" asked his stepmother.
"No," said Thaddy soberly, "It Isn't'
"I should think you'd want to rest
awhile If you've disposed of all those
muffins," continued Mrs. Timbs, with a
gesture toward the empty plate on the
table. ,
The boy's eyes twinkled. "Strange to
say, tbey make me feel more like work.
I'm Jnst .crssy to get' education enough
to start In business."
"You'll get on, Thaddy." said the wo
men proudly, "If yon keep np yonr
steady ways."
"I'm going to get on," said the boy
doggedly. "Work doesn't scare me.
Fact Is, I love It Now, what baa my
brain got to get outside of tonight? Al
gebra, geometry, modern history and
geography." And be piled bis books np
In front of bis seat at the table. '
His stepmother pushed the lamp
nearer to him, and the boy, sitting
down, was soon absorbed In bis tasks.
Presently she beard blm snickering.
"What's the matter, boyr she asked,
looking np from ber darning.
"I'm reading about the Eskimos, step
ma. They're awful eaters. Two Eski
mos will easily dispose of a seal at a
sitting, and a man will lie on bis been
and allow his wife to feed blm tidbits
af blubber and flesh until be la unable
to move."
"Pigs!" said Mrs. Timbs shortly.
"And the other evening," con tinned
Thaddy, "I waa reading that In some
parts of India there la such a scarcity
of food that many ni tires never know
what It la to have a full meaL Tbey
da not starve to death, bat tbey are al
ways mildly hungry."
-I guess -some white people know
that feeling," . observed Mrs. Timbs
calmly.
Thaddy looked at ber sharply; tnea
bis face flashed, and, abruptly closing
his book, be laid bis bead down on his
arm. "On, Lord, it's bard to be so
poor!"
"It la good for a man mat aa pear
the yoke la. his youth,"' said Mrs.
Timbs calmly.
The boy flung np bis head. "But
what about women? Does the Bible
say anything aboat yokes being good
for young women who marry men old
er than themselves who die and leave
a big boy to bring np?"
His stepmother smiled. 1 guess ra
be lonely without you, Thaddy."
The boy pounded so the table with
blsnst "Yoa daisy Just yoa wait asv

"Nothing much Just the notion ac a

After a time she beard blm giggling
again. "What's the nutter
Thaddy?"
"I'm reading about a fat king," be
snickered. "Step-ma, when I get in busi
ness I'm going to fatten you up to 800
pounds."
"What has sent your thoughts to food
this evening V she asked curiously.
"You seem bewitched,"
"Oh, nothing," be replied, and, clos
ing bis books, he got up and went to
the window.
"I think I'll go to bed." he said.
drawing the curtain aside and looking
earnestly out"
"What Is there outside?" she ssked,
getting up and going to him.
"The moon and the ashes," said
Thaddy calmly, "and the usual blue
base yonder where the men are burn
ing rubbish. What a lovely smell It
makes! If we were rich people the
city wouldn't dsre to burn old bones
snd rags behind our mansion. Good
night step-ma." And he abruptly as
cended the small back stairway.
After be left Mrs. Timbs drew aside
the curtain again. "There's a new hesp
of trash there," she said; "looks like a
hut Upon my word, I believe that boy
baa got another sick animal !" And sbs
despairingly dropped Into a chair.
"Have I got to starve myself again?"
she went on. "First It was a lame cat
then a sick hen, then a blind rabbit
Deary me, I've got enough to' bear
without feeding another mouth! But
If I don't do It be will. He's as ob
stinate ss a mule about a sick thing,
and he's a growing boy and needs his
food, while I've got my growth. Ob,
dear, dear; I've got to do It and I
hate animals so!" And, with tears In
her eyes, she locked the door, put out
the light and went upstairs.
. The starving dog, up betimes the
next morning, had his eye at a large
crack In the box, watching for the boy
when be saw the yard gate of the cot
tage open and a woman come out
It was very early In the morning and
few persons were stirring. Thin lines
of smoke ascended from some of the
cottages where laboring men were pre
paring to go to their work.
The dog Joyfully wagged his talL
The woman had a plate in ber band.
She and the kind boy were In league
to help blm.
When she pulled aside the barrel, be
could have fawned on ber for very
pleasure, but a took at ber face re
strained blm.
'Here, brute eat", she commanded,
slipping the food on the ashes. Then,
as he did eat soberly and quietly, she
commented -on bis appearance.
"Well, If you're not the ugliest and
the dirtiest! If It wouldn't break Thad
dys heart I'd telephone to the 8. P. a
to put you out of your misery. I wish
you'd never been born!" : ;
The dog's pricked ears gently droop
ed, his busby tail lowered Itself apolo
getically, but be went on eating.
"Glutton!" said the woman. "Thars
my breakfast ana dinner only soup
meat snd bread, but still a feast for a
poor wretch who never knows what It
la to have a full meal In this land of
plenty. So much for genteel poverty.
If I'd go to the poorbouse I'd live on
the fat of the land. Ugh, you beast!
Tou've eaten It all, and you'll be happy
and comfortable all day, and Pit bare

hungry when Thaddy comes.' I'll drag
away the boards against this barrel,
and he'll think you've been out forag

him yet He sleeps like a top, and he'll
not be np for two hours. And you
needn't lick your Hps. I'll not give you
drop of water. He can do It when
he comes. Still, he might forget Boys
are careless, and Ifs dreadful to suffer
from thirst Water Is cheap. I'll glvs
yon all you want" And. picking np an
empty tomato can, she went to the
bouse.
Koojemook did not altogether under
stand the affair, but be blinked his lit
tie, sty, kindly eyes at ber, and when
aha returned he drank the water until
his new friend began to make pointed
remsrks. -.
Then be stopped. "Go Into your den,
wolf," she said, and, throwing aside the
can, sbs discontentedly made ber way
to the bouse.
Koojemook lsy down and bad anoth
er sleep until three hours later, when
Thaddy earns out of the cottage with a
pile of books under bis arm.
"Hist" said the boy, edging along in
aa apparently careless manner. "Not

And Thaddy went whistling awsy.

SHEEP IN THE SPRING.
Cere of
tha Flock After Sbaarlas.
Valae of Olpplaa.
Flock masters generally are 'of the
opinion the sooner the work of shear
ing la accomplished In the spring, after
the weather has moderated, the better,
writes L. C. Reynolds In American
Agriculturist It is in accord with
natural law. : The fleece In winter
serves the purpose of protection, but
moderation of temperature demands its
removal In order that a high state of
body health may be maintained.
Too early shearing, however, If re
sorted to for a number of successive
years, materially Influences constitu
tional development making it Impos
sible to propagate a type of Individuals
able to withstand the Irritable condi
tions common to a climate.
It Is very necessary after the flock is
shorn that It receive attention. Cold
rains are Yery Injurious to newly shorn
sheep, especially If accompanied with
a few days of unfavorable weather.
When shearing Is done with the shears
there are alwaya more or less small
cuts, which frequently under exposure
develop Into running sores and result
in serious trouble. Before the flock Is
let out after shearing . It should be
gone over and fiie worst of these cuts
smeared over with some kind of disin
fectant to prevent the flies from work
ing. I slways use for a disinfectant
one of the manufactured dips, and
these have given good satisfaction.
For the first week or two after shear
ing it Is advisable to keep the flock
near the barn, so that In case of a cold
storm they can be sheltered and cared
for.
A most essential factor In the sum
mer msnagement of sheep, aside from
good pasture, Is the occasional dipping
of the flock. A great many flock mas
ters have the Idea that dipping Is es
sentially a process for curing or de
stroying such diseases ss scab, mors
commonly fonnd In larger flocks of the
western states, but this Is not the
whole truth. Dipping Is Just as im
portant where sheep are kept In small
as In large flocks, and It should be
properly attended to at least twice
each season. -

THE VETERINARY
For "foot rot" of sheep one of the
simplest and most effnctlve cures is the
following, ssys American Cultivator;
One-half pound blues tone, one-half
pound common salt one quart water.
Boll In an old saucepan for ten min

lotion dressing, or made la larger pro
portion can be placed In troughs to
run sheep through sfter being pared.
Tha blues tone sttaeks tbs fungous
growth, while the salt cleanse and
hardens the foot In dressing for foot
rot care should be taken to remove all
loose hoof snd decayed parts without
Injuring the foot cutting toe vslns,

fonnd very useful for burning the hoof,
thus rendering It soft and easily pared

Dr. Mayo of the Kansas Agricultural

ports of what seem to be clear cases
of young pigs and other animals dy

are very poisonous at certain periods
of growth, mostly when tbey are la
