CARE DE YOUNG SHEEP

While it is true that sheep can stand any
amount Of cold provided the weather is
dry, their coat of the warmest of wooden
goods becomes worse than useless when
soaked with water. Therefore, a perfect r of

for sheep to do well, and during the changes
Of spring, and even early summer, the lambs
should be fed by themselves in corner

go in and out at will, while the grown sheen

better than sheled corn for a lamb to cut its
jaw teeth on, and when only week old II

prising.
Sometimes it is advocated that sheep do not
need water, but this is grave mistake. No
animal lives but what needs water. and n
sheep have 1t regularly, and that which Is
clean, indigestion and other troubles can
much more easily be averted.
1t is best, all things considered, to have
lambs dropped before grass comes. in tho
ward or shed where care can be readily SIM
piled. If they arrive later on, when the
pasture is green, It often requires the Constant
care Of the shepherd with his flock. or else
many lambs will be lost, and MANY more
will be disowned by their dams.

ARMS OF ARMY AND NAVY.
An Effort to be Made to Have All
of the Same Caliber.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s--The consid-
GRAFTON of the naval APPROPRIATION bill
by the subcommittee now framing it
has drawn attention to the dissimilar-
1ty of arms used by the army and navy
and Representative Hilborn of Califor-
MIA, a member of the committee, feels
that steps should be taken to bring
about uniformity in the arms of the
various branches of the Government
service ss3l
Mr.. Hilborn pointed out that at pres
ent the army gun is the Krag -Jorgensen
of 3O-caliber. while the navy uses the
Lee gun of 23-caliber. In case of an
emergency there could be no inter
change, and the reserve supply of am
munition by one branch could not be
available to the other branch This
is said to be particularly noticeable in
the case of the marine corps a naval
branch which operates With the infant
ry branch of the army. Although thus
brought together, the marines have the

take expert testimony, with q view to
securing uniformity.
