Place Tor early lambs.

breeding ewes, but do think that it is
just the place for the lambs, especially
during early lambhood. At this time
they require warm. even temperature

of better place for these features than
in a well arranged and lighted base
ment barn. If one has no intention of
raising winter or early spring lambs, it
is obvious that the basement will not be
OF any material value; but in this eli.

stock at minimum expense, it is very

CONCERNING OPALS.

Chauncey Depew always wears an
opal. thinking it sort of lucky stone.
He also admres the gem for its own
sake.
Russell Sage has worn an opal for
years He once said he wore the stone
because it was the Back sheep of the
jewel family, and he lad always found
what was bad for the mob was good for
the chosen few
Few stage people can be induced to
wear an opal or anything else that is
considered unucky. However, there
are some exceptions Lillian Russell
is fond of opas, and Della Fox likes
them so well she buys them by the
dozen Isadore Rush is another actress
who is not afraid to wear this gem.
During the past two years more opals
have been sold and worn than for the
previous 25 years. Most Of the stones
now come from Australia because the
beautiful Hungarian variety is apt to
crack. 1t improves opals to be put in
an occasional alcohol bath In spite OF
their beauty, opals are not ranked
among the costly gems. for while oc-
casiouaIly as much as 500 karat has
been paid for them, the price is usually
much less
