R. U. which voted to go out would have never got to vote had that course been followed. And then had they gone out, the movement would have been so gradual that the com panies would have met the difficulty without great friction. But with switchmen in jail for refusing to at tach Pullman cars to regular trains there would have been a heSitancy in ordering anyone else to go out. And with the courts taking hold of the matter in that way, sufficient force to enforce their writs would have been forthcoming as it was needed But by suddenly suspending all traffic the railroad companies precipitated acris- is which rapidly assumed the shape and irresponsible power of an insur- rection, which required the force of arms to quell.
 It will be observed that the article by MT. Mills points out the very pre- yention of such occurrences in the fu- ture so strongly urged in TIE OASIS viz: That it is the duty of the gov ernment to prevent the public loss en- tailed by these clashes between organ ized capital on the one side and organ ized labor on the other, by regulating their relations and acting as media tor in adjusting all difficulties. This will prove the true solution, and with it's advocacy by such men as MT. Mills it will surely be adopted.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

ACCORDING to the Gazette Governor Zulick recently had a very close call fer his life. While the doughty gov ernor was at Washington working with all his inyincible energy for statehood for Arizona, bull entered church in Newark, New Jersey, where the governor resides. If the dear, little governor hadn't been in Washington the horrid bull in Newark might have killed him. Now the ques- tion is whether the people of Arizona should reward the governor for the peril of his life by a United States senatorship, or whether the governor should reward the people of Arizona for saving his life by giving him an excuse for going to Washington.
 THE Rocky Mountain News seems much out of patience with the popnl- ist governor of Colorado. Yet the News was vastly instrumental in the election of Waite. Now that eminent journal is dissatisfied with it's own handiw0rk. But if the News thinks that anything better than Waite can emerge from the ruck and rumble of populistic agitation it has failed to calculate aright moral forces. By their fruits he shall know them.r Waite, Pennayer, Llewelling and Till man are but the natural fruit of pop- ulism.
 AN EDITOR much worried by the food problem exclaims; "Wil some dazzling discovery do away with the necessity, for food?" If some "daz- zling discovery" would do away with the artificial necessity for drink the food problem would settle itself.
 WoLFLEY seems determined to get s3OO worth of contempt out of the lit- tie judge who fined him that amount not long since. It is useless. Three dollars worth of real, genuine would bury the little fellow so deep he would never crawl out.

Why He Likes SOuthdOwns.

Because they of all sheep will produce
more meat at less cost from a given area
than any other breed of sheep, for you
can keep 30 of these Southdowns where
only 20 of the larger breeds can be kept
on the same food and area. They are
small in Size but great i'll value. They
are big sheep in little ROOM They are
sheep that produce the greatest weight
where the best points are, for many of
you may not be aware Of the fact that
the hind quarters of Southdowns are
always one to two pounds heavier than
the fore quarters. This is merit pecul-
lar to them. They are producers of
fine wool of the best quality, and al
though the weight of the fleece is not
SO much as of some other breeds, taken
as whole, the figures would show a
farmer received in cash more profit from
the produce of so Southdowns than from
any other breed, if an account of the
cost of food and attendance We're prop
erly kept
prefer them because Of their hare,-
ness, freedom from disease and their
ability to live and thrive in extremes of
heat and cold, for they are to be found
all over the world. On their native
downs they have great extremes of eli
mate to endure, from the heat of sum
mer to the almost arctic cold of winter,
and their fine, thick wool and close
fleece is most essential to their we'll be-
ing, with which, being impervious to Ell
Their wet or snow, they are able to put
up with the greatest hardships cold and
wet, without any i'll effects to their
bodily health or to the quality of their
wool. Thus not only do you by keep
ing flock of Southdowns keep a sheep
of the most valuable mutton breed, but
you keep one whose wool is of the finest
and best quality and is not affected by
the weather in the manner it affects
other breeds.
prefer them because they will thrive
and live as well where other sheep
would almost starve; because they are
small eaters and rapid fatters and will
come to maturity as early as any other
sheep in the world; because of their
small size they produce just the joints
that make the highest price in the mar
ket
Another reason why Southdowns
should be kept is that am sure if you
could get your upper ten" to taste a
good mutton chop or joint of mutton
such as we produce in England the de-
mand for mutton would increase "by
leaps and bounds" for what keeps the
fashion for eating mutton at so low an
ebb is no doubt the poor quality that
butchers can get Increase the quality
and trade will certainly follow. And,
lastly, because rams and ram lambs of
this breed are by far the best sheep for
producing cross bred mutton from
sheep whose pedigrees nre not recorded
or to use on various other breeds for max
ing better mutton sheep for the butcher.

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh, being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do

Fattening Lambs,

In the Mississippi valley maize, oats
and wheat bran, either alone or COM
bined, are the foods most used for fat
tening sheep. An experiment in fatten-
ing 1875 Shropshire Merino lambs at the
Michigan station (B 1917 by F. B. Mum
ford showed that the lambs receiving
American corn in the grain ration,
either in whole or in part, gave the best
gains, We're apparently in better finish
and in general We're fed a greater profit
than the lambs receiving bran or oats
A grain ration of bran proved to be an
inferior material for fattening lambs
A ration of corn and oats produced
slightly better results than either mix
ture of corn and bran or of corn, oats
and bran, all in equal parts by weight
The results indicate that in fattening
lambs by means Of self feed, in which
the lambs have free access to grain at
all times, the resulting gains are pro-
duced by larger consumption of grain
to yield one pound of gain, than when
fed measured quantities at regular in
tervals, and, other things being equal,
the former gains are less profitable. A
mixture of fodder articles, composed of
one-third of bran, oats and hay, and of
about two-thirds by weight of good
quality of maize silage, proved cheap
and successful ration for fattening
lambs. The rate of gain was apparently
increased by shearing during the fatten-
ing period. In this experiment colder
temperatures were quite generally ac-
oompanied by increased gains. The
amount Of available protein in the va
rious rations was apparently less po-
tent factor in producing gains than the
amount of available carbohydrates;
hence the fattening value of the corn.
These trials showed that small gains are
not necessarily Improbable, nor are
large or rapid gains sure index Of prof
table food consumption.
