NOTES.

The supreme court of Idaho has de clared unconstitutional important sec tions of the sheep inspection law. The question was raised by a drover who appealed from a judgment lining him for violation of the act, he having brought sheep into the state without first having them dipped by the dep uty inspector The court finds these sections conflict with section 2, ar ticle 4, and section 8, article 1, of the federal constitution. The court savs. 'Under the provisions of said act, sheep cannot be shipped from Wash ington, Oregon or from any other state

over the transportation lines in that state without first unloading such sheep and having the proper deputy sheep inspector inspect and dip them" :" The opinion goes on to show that sim liar laws in other states east of Idaho would hold the sheep out a long time, and seriously harass and burden in terstate commerce. Continuing, the opinion says: "Under the guise of in spection and quarantine, said sec ions place unnecessary burdens and re- strictions upon bringing sheep into the state for any purpose whatever, or transporting them through the state to the markets of the east, and make unnecessary and prejudicial discriminations against sheep whose owners may desire to bring them into the state, and are repugnant to the provisions of the federal iconstitu- t1on.'

NO FAITH CURE
About Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They Cure Stomach Troubles and Indigestion Anyway, Whether You Have Faith in Them
 on Not

{All physicians agree that the ele- ment of faith has a great deal to do in the cure of disease.
 Firm belief and confidence in a fam fly physician or the same confidence and faith in patent medicine, have produced remarkable cures in all ages.
 This is especially true in nervous a harvest for the quack and charlatan, or run down nervous system.
 Nevertheless, the most common of all diseases. indigestion and stomach troubles, which in turn cause nervous diseases, heart troubles, consumption and loss of flesh. requires something besides faith to cure.
 Mere faith will not digest your food for you, will not give you an appetite, will not increase your flesh and strengthen your nerves and heart, but these things, because they are con- they contain the juices, acids and pep assimilation of all wholesome food.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will di- gest food if placed in jar or bottle in water heated to 98 degrees, and they will do it much more effectively when taken into the stomach after meals, whether you have faith that they will or not.
 They invfgorate the stomach, make pure blood and strong nerves, in the only way that nature can do it, and that is from plenty of wholesome food well digested- 1t is not what we eat, but what we digest that does us good.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by druggists at 50 cents for full sized package.

 9fOduct of American intelligence skill and persistence of which we may well be proud. The type is we'll fixed now and the sheep have conquered to great extent the ranges of the west. and are and will ever be making new conquests. Their nearly similar type is the Rambouillet, or French Me rino. Many years ago a flock went from Spain to France. And then the shepherd, having a new ideal of what a sheep should be, began the devel- opment of new sheep. He bred pri- marily for size, for constitution, for mutton form and qualities The wool was not neglected, but was made sub ordinate to the mutton characteristic The result was success, as any one who knows the plastic nature of the sheep would have foreseen. The size of the sheep doubled. The form be- came much improved. The ability to fatten was greatly increased. Then the Rambouillet came to America
 At first there was much dissatisfac- tion with the poor Rambouillet in America It was complained that he was not hardy, that he required much and good food. The first assertion was untrue. The second was and is true. Food. with selection, has made the Rambouillet; food, with selection, will alone keep him where he is or send him to further perfection
 In the eastern states the Rambouil- let all but died out. In central Ohio he lived and thrived It was the rich blue grass and plentitude of corn that made him feel at home in central Ohio There are breeders there who have had their fiocks since the early ffties. They have never complained that sheep "don't pay" Every year the wool and mutton from their f1ocks have said they will; some year. gnifcently. Ard the Rambouillei has been found out by the western rancher. He buys every ram that the eastern breeders can furnish. Al Chicago one will often see a flock oi Montana or Wyoming wethers, hali or three-quarters RambouilIet, al alike as peas, weighing 40 pounds just off the ranch, having been clipped of twelve pounds of wool. One can note the buyers for export trade hoy. ering around them and realizing the very important part that the Ram. bouillet has played and will play il America.

LIVE STOCK.
THE SPANISH MERdNO.

Fifty years ago saw the Merlno in some such glory as he is today in Ar gentina and Australia. Wool was then one of the prime articles of sale on the average farm. Vast areas were devoted to pasture, and on these pas lures the Merino lived winter and summer, with little care or attention save salting, washing, shearing and the usual routine of the rancher of the west. More or less hay was fed in winter when snow lay deep, and some fed grain. In some parts of Ohio it was not at all uncommon to keep great flocks of Merinos on pas lures all year round, letting them run on the hazel thickets for protec- tion in winter, and, strange as it may seem to the northern shepherd, the sheep came out in good shape in the spring as a general thing. Of course, 1a'mbing was not until after grass had come.
 At first a Merino was a Merino; but soon breeders differed in their ideals of what a good sheep should be, and as ideals differed so did sheep.
 The Spanish type raised by class of breeders whose sole aim was the production of the most pounds of wool were bred for a wrinkly skin. The fleece was short, with oil or yolk as much as the wool could hold. The fleece weights ran up to as much as fifty pounds. It seemed to be lest sight of that these f1eeces secured out only some six to eight pounds. The constitutions of these abnormal masses of wrinkles, grease and wool grew weaker, lambing was a period of terror, and only by the most assidu- ous attention could one save re- spectable percentage of his lamb crop. It was worth while to make the effort to save lambs in those days. My neighbor paid $500 for fine wrinkIy ram in the sixties.
 What worked to overthrow the great popularity of this type was the in- creasing demand for mutton, the lack of constitution of the sheep, and the fact that manufac cturers now began to pay more for wool of lighter shrink age. Grease could be bred into the wool, but the manufacturer very un- kindly insisted that it was only grease and not wool, and refused to pay for 1t.
 When this type was of almost uni Versal dissemination, the off-goire C"oS were very largely sent to boil ing establishments" where the belts were taken of and the bodies boied for their tallow. The carcasses were then buried But there were breeders who refused to follow the craze after wrinkles and grease. These men con- ceiveds the idea of a. large, strong sheep ycl4hed with wool of long sta pie alH AQmparatively light shrink age. Their efforts led to the eyo,u- tion of the delaine Merino. If one doubted the truth of the theory of evolution, teaching how all animal life is "evolved" from a common primitive type, 1t seems to me that study of the history of sheep breed ing would dispel those doubts. The modern delaine Is very distir ct from the old type of Merino. He is. in a

pended for Various Terms.

| st. Louis, Mo, March 1.--Most radical leg.
islation was enacted today by the magnatos
OF the National Baseball league, assembled
here in annual session. A measure for tho
suppression OF obscene, indecent and vulgar
| language upon the ball field was adopted by
the representatives Of the twelve clubs Pres
cnt without a dissenting vote
Tho provisions of this measure are very
sweeping aud provide for the trial of the
guilty persons before a tribunal of three
judges to be known as the board OF discip.
line which shall punish the culprit either
by suspension of expulsion for life. AS the
unanimous views of the committee appointed
to devise means for doing away with rowdy-
ism on the ball field, Chairman Brush sub
nitted report entitled "a measure for the
suppression of obscene. indecent and vulgar
language on the ball field by players en-
gagged in playing game of ball during tho
championship season, while under contract
with club member of the National league

clubs, to the end that the game may retain
its high position as respectable and worthy
of the confidence and support of the refined
and cultured classes of American citizenship

was adopted unanimously. In pursuance OF
this measure of reform and to carry into ell
feet its intent and purposes twenty three
regulations were appended That pertaining
to penalties follows in part.
1.-The penalties for using obscene, indecent
or vulgar language within the meaning and
intent of this measure is entirely within the
discretion of the tribunal and may be sus-
