AT THE LOWEST MARKET PRICE: -D. Driscoll & Co, beef producers seem not to haye learned this so generally as pork proy ducers, But it is true in a greater ce- gree of mutton than of pork. The lamb | may be brought to mature weight more quickly than any other animal. It is too late now to figure on very large profits from feeding last ene. ‘lambs. The only class of lam it will pay to feed through the entire | winter is Merinos that will yield eight pounds of washed or ten pounds-of unwashed wool. They develop slower than the mutton breeds and the growth of wool will almost pay for the feed needed to keep them growing nicely and they may be rapidly finished upon the fresh pasture of May. But it will take miore than half the feed to grow a pure-bred mutton lamb to 70 pounds at five months old thay it will to make him weight 90 at ten months. Lambs with strongly marked mutton characteristics should bé mar keted before they are six months cld. There is sometimes a profit in-buying this class of lambs at seven or eight months of age a cent less per pound than they will bring when finished for market, and then pushing them to the finish as rapidly as possible. This should be done in 90 or 100 days. “A lamb that has once got poor will not make maney for either grower ,or feeder. Another element figuring largely in determining the measure of profits is selling when the lambs .are finished. It does not pay to feed » fat lamb for an uncertain chance of rise in price. The altogether best rule is to get your lambs ready: for’ the market in. the “shortest possible time and fetthem go, If I liad a flock of lambs now that were not fat I should hold them over “Meouw,” uttered simply, is a greet- ing; uttered fiercely and with accent on the “Me,” is an expression of fiatred and defiance. < “Mieuow, yow, wow, yelwoyow, tiow, ys-ss-syow” is the yell of defiance in battle and is variously accented to tell of the progress of hostilities, “ys-s-8-8-s- B-yow” being the cry of battle madness. “Yew” signifies that the cat isin dis- tress and neéds human aid. It is ut- tered very softly. . “Parriere” is a request to open a door. “Purrieu” is the I-love-you of catland, and when uttered with rolling “r” and a “ise on the last syllable is a call from a mother to its kitten.

Bran is excellent for poultry, and one point in favor of bran is that it contains a much larger propor- tion of lime than any other cheap food derived from grain, and as the shells of eggs are composed of lime it is essential that food rich in lime be provided. It may be urged that the use of oyster shells will pro- vide lime, but it will be found that it is the lime in the food that is most serviceable, because it is in a form that\can be better digested and assimilated than carbonate of lime, says the American Fancier. Clover is also rich in lime; and when a mess of cut clover and bran is given the fowls they will need no oyster shells or other mineral mat- ter ns a sotiree from which to draw| . the eupply of lime for the eggs. Do: not forget that in summer, however, the use of all kinds of foods should be used with judgment.

But he brought out a photo- graph of himself at 40 which hardly resembled him, so mitch had he changed, and, “if you want to print my picture, use this,” he eaid to the reporter; “but don’t lose it. for it’s the -onty one ve rot of -myseiH-at-that-age and I'd like to keep it, for, yoy know, Jd don’t grow any younger.” “I'd rather have your picture as you are to-day,” aid the reporter; “for you are hand- Somer now than you were at 40.” “Oh, »* i am too old and wrin.wed and bald » said the min. “Use the 44-year. picture ” The reporter exclaimed & putzied laugh: “So many men they insist on having young pictures printed, They fail to realize wow muct more interesting and pleasing their face is in old age, if they have lived a fairly wiee and industrious life, I’ve had men of 70 actually who have given me reproduction photographs of them- selves at 36.

Work a Profitable Field tor Women, Says One Ba- thusiastic Feminine Solicitor. Life insurance work offers a profita- ble field to women nowadays. If she be bright and energetic she easily can real- ize an income of $5,000ayear. Hercom- deavora» “The possibitities for women in the life insurance are limitiess,” said one of the best known women workers, “With all the women that are working at it now -it still is a practically unworked fleld. “From my experience in the business I should say that it is the best possible line for a woman to enter. She is abso- lutely independent, and, best of all, she knows she is making money. Further- more, she Is able to lift herself out of the rut of woman's occupations tn general. “In life insurance a woman has the most broadening experience. Sh: meets all classes of people. In a short time she develops new faculties. She learns to read human nature, which is the telling part of the business. For her own benefit I should advise any young girl or woman whose circumstances compel her to earn her own living to grasp these excelient opportunities.” A Very Ancient Briton. While workmen were excavating un- der a house in Salisbury square, Lon- don, recently, they came upon a nearly complete skull of a woolly Siberian rhinoceros. Although the lower jaw is missing, the specimen is the finest side of the Siberian tundra. The find wis made in a bed of peat, and near by other bones, believed to have be- longed to some other species of rhin- oceros, were unearthed.
