The state Republican machine is

The state Republican machine is
getting into working order much
faster than its opponents and there
will be little excuse for the failure
of the "young Republicans" IN the
coming contest unless they be-
gin their campaign in a hurry.
How they can consistently lie down
and be walked on after what was
said and done last year is Il quite a
mystery. The medicine now being
prepared for them shouldn't be
swallowed without kick, and the
"ring,' even with its dazzling Pc
cuniary Establishments, allowed to
get any closer grip on the affairs of
state than it has now.

as they soon have no feeling In their
freezing feet. If they can travel, how
ever slow, with their dragging traps,
they are not likely to try to break loose
from the traps.
Most people grade up their flocks by
buying fine rams. During the first five
or six years rams We're very costly, from
$50 to 800 each, and fine ewes from
$40 to $50 each. One day a man from
Europe looked at my Angoras, and he
was 80 we'll pleased with one ram and
two or three of my finest ewes that he
said: 1T is foolishness for you to buy
costly rams. You can raise the finest
rams and ewes that can be bought any
where" He advised me how to manage
in breeding, and, sure enough, soon
improved my flock wonderfully. !
bought three more different flocks and
kept only The best, continually dispos-
ing Of the inferior ones The coarsest
goats in my flock now are much finer
than those for which had to pay $40
and $50.
1t is beautiful sight to see bunch
of about 500 Angoras coming home
about shutdown, with their long, silky
feeces have always sheared twice
each year-that is, in April and in Sep
tember. If these nice animals are shorn
only once in year, they will soon look
ugly, because the long, silky hair will
become matted, and they will soon look
as ugly as scabby sheep. In kidding
time it is best to keep those ewes that
will soon bring kids in a small pasture
separated from the flock. If the weather
be cold and wet, they should have a
shelter. Dry, cold weather does not hurt
them. In hot days the little kids need
shade from the hot sun. At first
tried to make the young kids follow
| their mothers with the flock, but soon
| found that it was impossible to do that.
The little kids were soon all hidden in
the high grass and bushes. After that
followed the advice Of older goat men,
| who left the kids in the pen until they
were or weeks old During the past
three years 1 kept the little kids in q
separate small pasture, where they have
plenty of shade, water, green shrubbe1y
weeds and young, tender herbs of vari,
ous kinds. If allowed to follow the focl
too young, they will lie down and go te
sleep and be lost-H. T. F., Tiger Mills

A very interesting lecture was de-
llvered last Sunday night at the Bap.
tist church, by Mrs. Blalock, of North
Carolina, lately of China.
Mrs. Blalock was sent as mission
ary, by her native state, to China two
years ago.
She described the trials, tribula-
tion and dangers that she was COM
PEELED to undergo in following her
chosen work, in very touching and
earnest manner. All who were for
tunate enough TO hear her were more
in favor of foreign missionery work
than ever before, and when she and
her husband return to their far away
home, they will no doubt receive a
helping hand from the missionary So
cleties of Stayton.
Rev. and Mrs. Blalock have re-
turned to America for one year in or
der that Rev. Blalock may recover
his shattered health. They intend to
again leave for their field Of labor in
China next autumn.
An interestering Feature OF the
