HINTS FOR SHEPHERDS

The age of sheep cannot be told by
the teeth after five years, as they then
have full mouth. At one year Old
they have two center teeth; at two,
four; at three, six; at four. eight;
at five, ten.
Give sheep plenty of straw, and they
will convert it into the richest kind
OF food crops. On any good farm, un-
der good management, sheep will pay
their winter keeping in the manure
they make.
Ticks on sheep are very unprofit-
nble customers, and IL is better to dip
the flock on the first warm day; 1t
will do them no more harm than the
occasional soaking from rain which
they get. II allowed to remain on
lambs all winter, they will greatly re-
duce the weight of the fleece, or Kill!
the animal, possibly.

There is vein of good sense in n Ger

u.,,.,, ,,,rr,orc Iatnrc relating to
the issue of mar
L'ee"S'S' riagc licenses. The
measure provides for the creation of
board of mcdical examiners in each
o county, whose duty it shall be to exam
inc all candidates for the welded estate
and make report on their health. The
issuance of n license is made condition
al on the production by the parties OF
proper medical certificates declaring
that they suffer from no disease which
would be likely to be transmitted to

A restriction has been brought to the
attention of the people of Colorado by
reason of the circumstance that many
conservatives resort to that state for
relief and there contract marriages
which result in the propagation of the
dread disease. That such marriages
are improper is fact beyond dispute.
1t is a delicate matter with which to
deal. No law on the subject would be
necessary if all men and women had a
proper sense of their obligations, not
only to themselves, but to those yet un-
born. However, this can hardly be eA-
pected, People will continue giving in
marriage and taking in marriage, even
when they know that their children, if
they have any, will in all probability be
born to heritage of suffering. 1t is
urged by the proponents of the Colo
RADIO bill that this is where the state
should take a hand.

THE AMERICAN FOG.
II Has Already Wrought Miracles.
and Will Accomplish May More
Great Things.

Men have performed miracles. In
old times it was not an uncommon
thing for richly endowed men TO per-
form wonders. And to-day men per-
form wondrous things, but us there
are SO many who have the same faculty
the world is not stirred by their acts.
There are wonder workers in the low
er types Of the animal kingdom. The
hog has wrought miracles, is now per-
forming them and ever will accom-
plish mighty things If his master will
stand by him and feed him. The hog
has contributed largely to the present
commercial supremacy Of the United
States. Mortgages on thousands of
western farms and New England home
steads have been banished by the hog.
He is still in this laudable business, and
the success that is attending his efforts
is miraculous. His achievements in
this direction have only been equaled
by his usefulness in the kitchen. Hun
cry nations have fsd on the swine; he
is to-day their staff of life. to a large
extent. Pork eaters are not uncivil-
lied. The flesh of the hog contain
mates no man. nor lowers his mental
capacity unless man becomes "A swine.
Temperance in eating is as essential
to high moral life as temperance in
anything else hence pork consumption
should be regulated by gumption.
The hog is Il reliable animal. His
carcass is ever the coveted object of
the pork dealer, who will pay good
price for iirst-class article. At three
cents per pound the hog has paidfcbt
and his own keeping. At four cents
and over he has built new homes, new
fences, new barns, clothed children in
destitute fields, contributed to charity,
helped the poor, administered to the
sick, heightened morality and socia-
bility and blcst abundantly his GUS
todian.
The hog is well advanced toward the
fulfllmcnt of his great destiny. What
he has done is n reliable index to the
large volume which contains the pro-
grammc man has planned for his flu
turc. The swine has contributed TO
education by building schoolhouscs,
churches and subscribing for maga-
zines and newspapers. His flesh feeds
man, his blood fcrtilizcs our land, his
bones help grow poultry. lie pays Il
large per cent. on the feed given him.
Man never has lost by treating him
we'll He stands ever ready to amcl-
ioratc adverse conditions on the farm
and if given care and attention will
extricate farmers from the pit of debt
and misfortune.
Mighty is the American hog!-Farm-
ers Voice.

A revolution in the field of industry
is going on so quietly that it is no
v.,,m -, 49,. ticed by very few,
and yet this CEN
se" A'"' tury will see the
all-aror nj, thorough mechanic pass
out of existence in many branches.
Machinery has taken his place.
Skilled labor is less in demand now
than it was years ago; it will be still
less required as machinery is made
to do the work formerly performed
by mans trained fingers. A mechanic
no longer needs to know every branch
Of his trade, but he must be able to
handle his machine. A mechanic at
the beginning of the century was re-
quired to produce perfect work and
complete the whole product of his
trade, be it shoe or q watch. At the
end Of the century the workman in
the factory produces, day in and day
out, one single piece multiplied many
times by the aid of the machine. AS
to the construction of everything else
entering into the finished product,
he very seldom las the slightest idea.
He learns to handle one machine and
there he usually stops. He can mi
nutclv describe the workings of his one
machine: of the Others he remains
