THE SCHOOLS
View of the Citizens
Committee.
Unanimously Recommends Continued
Closing in Reply to the Board
of Health.

The Citizens Sanitary Committee
adopted resolution yesterday adverse
to the opening of the schools. The fol-
lowing is copy of letter sent by the
committee to the Board of Health on
the subject:
February goth.
To the Board of Health.-Gentle-
men: In answer to an inquiry from
a member of the Board of Health as
to the attitude of the Citizens SAM
tary Committee concerning the open
ing of the schools, We would say that
in view of the fact that the number of
inspections, under the directions of
the committee, has been reduced to one
a day, the objection of the committee
to the opening of the schools, based
upon the interference with its work of
inspection, is now withdrawn,
The committee desires to state, how
ever, that it's unanimous opinion is
that the schools should not be opened
at the present time. The committee
feels certain that the parents of white
children will almost universally refuse
to send their children to school during
the continuance of the plague, and
JQdL prODdDly number VI lnOSe VI
other nationalities will follow their ex-
ample. School authorities will then
be confronted with the alternative Of
allowing the schools to go on with the
classes half attended or of enforcing
the laws regarding compulsory attend
ance In the latter case the law viii
be enforced against an overwhelming
public sentiment; or else, and this We
| fear as the practical result, there viii
be an unjust discrimination in enforc
ing the law against such children as i
is desired to keep off the streets ant
/ exempting the better class Of whit
families from its operation.
In addition to the foregoing the com
mittee submit for your considerat1ol
whether it is sound to bring togethe
children from all parts of the city an
have them associate together for sew
eral hours day as intimately as chill
dren do associate, both during reclta
tions and at play.
In view of the above consideration
the committee respectfully recommen
the continued closing of the schools.
Very truly yours,

II Is dangerous thing to dip sheep
too soon after Shearing, says The
Sheep Breeder. AS a rule the skin Of
the dipped sheep becomes very tender
on account of exposure to the air, by
which the sheep is chilled, and in dry
Ing the evaporation of the remains Of
the dip, producing still more cold by
carrying off the natural warmth of the
skin, adds to this chilling. This excess
Of refrigeration is mostly felt on the
back along the spine which is the seat
of the spinal nerve and controls the
nervous system Of the digestive organs.
This is very apt to produce infamma-
e1On of the covering membrane of this
most important nerve, by which Of
course the whole system is disturbed.

reported cases to so per cent Of the
flock. Unless the risk of scab is immi-
nent 1t is advisable to defer the dip
ping for at least two weeks or longer,
as the condition Of the weather may
be. AS rule the dipping is to be regu-
lated by the condition of the sheep and
the risk of scab. If scab exists in any
degree, as is easily discovered in the
shearing, and it is thought advisable to
dip as soon as two weeks after the
fleece is taken off, the sheep should be.

One of the most valuable feeding
crops for lambs and sheep is the south
ern cOWpea, very extensively grown all
over the United States and wherever
corn may be grown, says The Sheep
Breeder. 1t is really a variety of bean
and not a pea, but by whatever name
IT may be known it is equally good. 1t
Is twining plant and may be sown
with corn, climbing Up the stems and
thus furnishing two crops at the same
time. Instead Of exhausting the soil,
as might be supposed on the other
hand, when so grown, it improves the
land and helps the corn. 1t is only
that variety Of plant closely related TO
clover which is great improver Of
land, and thus it will not only yield a
crop of itself, but helps the corn and
leaves the land in better condition for
the next crop. 1t may be sown after
the corn is planted or if the corn is
dropped by hand three peas may be put
into each hill Of corn. II the corn is
drilled, the peas may be drilled after
It, dropping the peas near the corn or
sowing them in the nearest furrow
when the corn is plowed.

KEEPING ANIMALS TOOLONG
Study of the Subject From the
Financial Standpoint.

1t Is a very commendable and hui
manitarian sentiment to keep cattle
too long, for it indicates an attachment
for them that one is loath to break, and
yet a farmer who is raising animals
for his living cannot let sentiment in
terfere with what he knows to be good
business, says +. j. Smith in The
American CultivatOr. Others keep cat
tie too long simply because they hap
pen to be ignorant of the best time to
dispose of them, and they keep waiting
for a better turn in the markets to help
them get good returns. Sometimes this
living in the hope of doing better later
induces a farmer to carry his herd
over from month to month, and before
he knows it year has slipped by. The
animals are meantime eating up all
the profits they ever would have made
for their owners and at the same time
are passing the prime of life, when
they sell at the best prices.
We cannot afford to keep cattle one
day longer than the time they reach
full maturity or prime Of life. Up to
this period they have been gaining in
weight and flesh, and every pound of
feed that has been given to them has
made its corresponding amount Of
flesh. Liberal feeding of growing ami
mails makes glad the heart of the farm
er or breeder, but when the food ceases
to exert its magic influence then some
thing seems to be wrong. The wrong
is very often that the cattle have pass
ed their prime, and all future feeding
will merely tend to help them hold
their weight There is no further gain.
Prime cattle sold in the market
means something more than fat and
well developed carcasses. 1t includes
a certain tenderness and juiciness of
meat which can be gained only through
rapid growth and laying on Of flesh.
This result has been obtained by good
feeding of good animals. If these ami
mails had ceased to grow, the meat
would begin to lose much of its best
virtues. 1t may not be an easy matter
always to tell just when an animal has
ceased to grow or when it has reached
its full prime, but it is more profitable
to sell just before that period and thus
lose the few extra pounds it may have
gained than to hold it few weeks be-
yond maturity when it gains nothing
in weight and loses In quality Most
Of us are inclined to hold our cattle too
long, and it may well be of value to
some of US to look into the matter. Are
we hampering ourselves by holding
cattle over for higher markets when
they should be sold at once, or are we
selling them just as soon as they have
reached their prime and are in the
very best condition for the market?

Analysis of the Woman Vote.


In the four states, Colorado, Wyom-
ing, Utah and Idaho, where women have
the full right OF suffrage, there was a
decided increase In the woman vote. All
these states we're carried by Bryan four
years ago. Two gave a majority for
Mckinley in the recent election and the
republicans gained heavily in the other
two. In a general way no division is
apparent in the four states along sex
lines. But there are few incidental
features of special interest. The demo-
cratic candidate for congress in Wyom-
ing wrote a letter some time ago in
which he said that the woman vote was
The easiest to get, the easiest to keep
and the easiest TO manipulate of all eIe-
ments in politics. As a result the repub-
lican candidate for congress ran 800
ahead of the electoral ticket and has the
largest majority ever given a candidate
in the state. TwO-thirds of the women
of Wyoming, it is stated, voted for Nc
Kinley.
Utah gave the country the greatest
surprise of the election, and the woman
vote had something to do with the re-
markable overturn of the democratic
plurality in 1896 of $1,000. Only one
woman ran for office in Utah and she
was defeated. She was a delegate to the
last democratic national convention and
seconded Bryan's nomination at Kansas
City. Though president of the Utah
WOman's Democratic league, she was
beaten for the lower house of the legis-
lature, and the extent to which she ran
behind shows that many women voted
against her. The woman vote in Colo
RADIO increased from 46. 270 in 1896 to
to 80, 943 in 1900. Bryan's plurality in
the state declined from 1874, 900 to 3d.
600, but the falling off was not specially
due to the woman vote. In Wyoming
the women cast nearly one-third of the
aggregate vote of $4,000. No change
of a radical nature has yet been devel
oped by full woman suffrage in the four
small states where it is established.
