An Arab loves as none but an Arab!
can love, but he is also mightly excita
ble and easily won. An Arab sees a
girl bearing water or bru.-hwood and in
n moment, almost a glance, is as mad
Iy in love as if he "had passed yearsTf
courtship. He thinks of .nothing ele,
cares and dreams of nothing-else but
the girl he loves, and not frequently, if
he is disappointed in his affection, he
f lines and dies. In order to commence
lis' suit he sends for a member of tie
girl's tribe, and fint insuring his se
crecy by a solemn oath confesses his
l've and entreats his confidant to ar

The producers of the pure bred stock
have made it the ruling effort for jear
to reduce the size of the bone, line- the
farmers call for heavy bone animals.
Now tho question presents itself, have
the breeders gone too far in tneir etlbrts
to reduce the amount i.f bone, or do the
farmers fail to appreciate the benefits
arising from small bones. One of the
foremost among English authorities say
I that the mistake is with the mass of far-
I mers, and comments on the almost uni-

Breeders understand that a hog can
be made ready for market at from 7 toy
mouths old, and for market at this age
the bone must be tine. This is necessary,
that the animal have proper symmetry

. .. .. x--
trouble with the mass of farmers lies la
the fact that they have not grasped the
advanced ideas of the breeder that a hog
should be ready for the market at not
more than 9 months old.
Another matter that the farmers do
n t properly understand as yet is how to
keep tue boue that they desire. They
purchase a coarse boued male because
lliey think their sows ure a little too Hue
boned, with the result that in a tew years
ihe same complaint is made again. This
shows a mistake ia management. Some
times in breeding is the cause, but more

The custom of buying coarse boned
llUll should be abandoned, and the way
to bring about this is by using a dilfcreni
style ot brood sow. which must be pro-

A coarse boned one does uot reach sym

Sheep Shearing.
Toiteep sheep healthy they require a
frequent change of food. " -
Esjecially when on dry feed sheep
need a good supply of water.
Care should be taken to jjean out
tlie mangers of feed racks regularly.
Look over the flock and sell thesheep
that show the least improvement.
Inferior sherp are of teu-a drug on
the market .when good sheep sell at
good prices.
Never allow sheep to be frightend
or run by a dog or in any case be -dis-?
turlx'd.
If any of the ewes have poor teeth
it will alwavs pay to feed them ground
feed. '
A sheep kept thrifty will shear t
he avier and better fleece than one poor
ly kept.
In commencing to feed jenin !
sheep, feed a small quaiiity at firsTajid
gradually increase.
The farmer that is to careless to
give sheep good care will do better
with some other kind of stock. ,
The days are ' for feeding and the
nights for repose, and with no stock is
this more the case than with sheep.
Sheep Of different ages and condi
tions should be sorted into different
lots and the weaker ones have a little
better feed.
Wjth couiforlabb surroundings,
which implies dry, warm belter and
regular feeding, a small amount of
grain can bemadetneouni.
Wide sliding doors are best for the
.sheep sheds as it lessens the rikH otr
