HANDLING THE * BREEDING EWES When sheep are left to their natural inclinations they seem to bring forth their young in February, as a rule, but some scatter along from December to June, says the Iowa Homestead. The period of gestation la about 155 days. When lambs are born in winter they should have a dry, warm brood pen, but after two or three days they should be put in an airy pen connect- ed with a sunny yard and other ex- pecting ewes put In the brood pen. It is a good plan to trim a little of the wool from near the udder so the little one can find the teat. It is not best to try to assist the little one by holding it up, as most of them seem to object to It If lambs have got chilled before nursing fill a gallon jug with hot wa- ter, wrap a sack around It and put it in a corn basket: then put the larubs In the basket and throw a horse blan- ket over all.

Feeding sheep for breeding purposes should be done carefully. If they have fall grass, cornstalks, etc., do not feed any grain at all until lambs ate drop- ped, then give each one about two pounds of carrots and a little shelled oats twice each day for the first week and after that all she wants Iso eat of shelled corn, oats and carrots, butter- milk, potato and apple parings. straw, beets and cornstalks, with plenty of water. especially If there is no snow. There is no use of grinding any kind of grain for sheep.

SNAPSHOTS AT NOTABLES Vilhjalmar Stefansson, Dis- coverer of White Eskimo. • 1912. by American Press Association. Professor Viihjaimar Stefansson, who left New York in April, 1908, at the head of an expedition into the arctic, regions under the auspices of the Mu- seum of Natural History, thinks he found in the far north descendants ot Leif Erieson's colonists\ who vanished nearly a thousand years ago. \For thirteen months I lived as an Eskimo among Eskimos of a distinct type from the Eskimos heretofore en- countered. without the straight black Mongolittn hair of the Eskimo as we have always known him. but with red- dish hair and In some cases with blue eyes. as well its with different customs and habits,\ said Professor Stefansson. \I learned that there were about 2.000 Eskimos of this unusual type, divided Into thirteen tribes. I personally mei about half of them. Out of about a thousand I saw, there were perhaps a dozen with blue eyes, and perhaps 500' bad eyebrows as light as mine. Some of them had curly hair.\ Professor Stefansson was born in ' Canada thirty-six years ago and Is of Norwegian descent. He is a graduate of Harvard university and has been in- terested in arctic explorations for InaaY years. having made several scientifie trips to Iceland and other north polar regions, Lie left Ws home at the age of fourteen and for four years was a cowboy in North Dakota. Later he was a student in the North Dakota State university, going from there to Harvard. After his graduation from the latter institution he was made a member of the faculty.,becoming pro- fessor of ethnology. Commander of a Great Fleet. Rem . Admiral lingo Osterhans. oom- mender of the Atlantic fleet mobilized at New York city for review, had the largest number of war vessels tinder his charge ever gathered together in American waters. Warships to the number of 127 of all classes, with a total displacement of 7-11.500 tons, were assembled. The record break- ing fleet comprised thirty-two battle- ships. four armored cruisers. four cruisers, twenty-one vessels of special type. six naval militia vessels, eight fuel ships. twenty-six torpedo boat de- stroyers. sixteen torpedo boats and ten subrnairines.

The company being seated in a clr rip. one starts by whispering to bi eeighoor on his left an article; this one whispers to the one on the left au ad- lective; he whispers to the one on his left a noun, and each whispers to the one ori the left the following parts of epeech in regular order: An article. an adjective. a noun singular. a verb, an adsorb, a windier, another adjective and a iunitin plural. the last one ending tis svilispering to the first. When reels has had the word wilts- ocred in his or her ear the second one tolls his woid aloud, then the third, f,qtrth, and so on. until a complete sen- tence is spoken. The first player whispers the article a, sesond one the ad.:eetive inrignifi- cent, third oust the noun leopard, fourth one the verb contemplated, fifth one the adverb pensively, sixth one the number nineteen, seventh one another adjective. exasperated, and the eighth one a mem In plural, kangaroos, to fin- ish the sentence. Erich one now speaking his whisper ed word aloud. the nonsense is: \A magnileent leopard contemplatesi pensisely nineteen exasperated kanga- roos.\ He Knew His Name. Among the stories told from time to time to illustrate the intelligence of dogs none is more charming than this little aire.dote. said to be true, of the dog belonging to the poet Whittier: One'day when the poet was celebrat- ing Ws birthday be was visited by a woman who was a fine singer. On be hag asked to sing this woman seated herself at the piano and began the beautiful song called \Robin Adair.\ While she wris singing Mr %Viiittier'a pet dog came into the room. and. seat- ing himself by the woman's side, he listened with unusual 'Mention to her song. When she had finished he came and put his paw very gently into her hand and ileked her cheek \Robin has taken that song as a trib- ute to himself.\ said Mr. Whittier, \for his name Is also Robin Adair.\ The dog, having heard his own name in the song, seemed to think that it was all for his benefit. Prom that mo- ment and during all the woman's visit he was her devoted atteridant Ile kept at her side while she was indoors, and when she went away he carried her satchel in his mouth, with every evidence of distress. Lemons—A Game. Any number Illny play at lemons. Two of them stand aside, joining hands like the arch in London bridge. They represent the squeezer. The oth- er players are the lemons, and they stand at some distance from the squeeker. The repreezer sings: Some lemons I want for the freezer. Corn.. Miry ones: come to the squeezer. They keep on singing this refrain, while the lemons creep nearer and nearer. Suddenly one of them darts through the arch. If the squeezer is quick enough the lemon is caught and squeezed and stands aside, out of the game. while the squeezer sings: A Juicy lemon-squeeze hint dry. We'll have another by and by. But If the lemon gets through un- caught the squeezer sings: See, the lemon's passed us by! To retch another we must try. If the squeezer falls three times It Is worn out and a new one must take its place. In tills way the game can be kept up for a long time, for it is seldom that all the lemons get caught. Money In Birds' Nests. A small boy of Caldwell, N. J.. is the richer by $10 for the fact that some sparrows chose to build their nests In the attic windows of his home. John Bowman Is his name. and it all came about when some sparrows annoyed his mother so much that she told him to destroy their nests that had been built In the windows on the top floor. John went ahead to do so. like an obedient son, but he was somewhat surprised to find that inside the first nest was a tiny scrap of a ten dollar bill. John didn't think much of this, but he be- came interested when he weut on and found that In the other nests were other pieces of the note. Seemingly the colony of the birds had divided the booty between them. John went on to collect all the pieces of the bill he could and then sent them on to the treasury department at Washington to be re- deemed. The Snake's Tail. This is a Japanese game for chil- dren and is played as follows: The children form a line. each resting his bands on the shoulders of the player In front. One. who Is the catcher. Stands alone. The first player on the line is called the head and the last the tall. When the game begins the catcher stands some distance away from the head and at a given signal tries to catch the tail, or end player, without pushing finvisody else. The others de- fend the tall by moving about In any way they choose. except that the line must not be broken. for should it break the trill is considered relight and must become catcher, whit, the catch- er goes to the head.
