frietur's house in the Via San Claudio.
The hotel was partly wrecked. Plaster
was shaken from the walls and cell

walls and the floors of several rooms
sagged two or three feet before the oc-
cupants could run ont. Every window
and every piece of crockery, glass and
bric-a-brac in the house was smashed.
The front wall was cracked in three
places to the second floor. and at the
door where the bomb exploded a large
hole was torn. Nobody was injured,
although the hotel had more than
100 dodgers at the hour of tho
explosion. The people ran out into
the street without waiting to
take money or jeweiry. Thcy were
surrounded at once by i crowd and a
company of gendarrnes was required TO
keep all clear of the street in front OF
the hotel. At first the ron was ex-

however, the cOmmissary announced
that there was no immediate danger

Galen Wilson tells in Home n
Farm how he wintered fifty ewes and
twenty-five lambs on straw. He fed
this literally in hunks, always giving
them more than they would eat up
clean. In addition he gave the ewes
two cents worth of barley each n
week, when the grain was worth 50
cents a bushcl. and kept an accurate
account. The lambs had only cents
worth of barley. These flocks came
through the winter in Scellent condi-
tion, and the Eve dropped and raised
a full complement of strong, vigorous
lambs Soon after the twenty-five
lambs went to pasture in spring, a
passing butcher noticing their good con-
ditiun wanted to purchase them for
slaughter. Two of them had not eaten
a particle of grain, as they never woald
go to the feed trough.
