IOWA TRUANT LAW WEAK.
State Superintendent Barrett Will
Ask Revision of Statute.

Iowa's truant law is wholly inopera-
tive. There is no way of compelling
child to go to school.
That r. G. Barrett, state superinten-
dent of public instruction, will exhaus-
lively discuss the matter in his biennial
report to be filed with the governor
next week and will urge upon the legis-
lature the Importance of revision is
common knowledge among state officials.
The law requires that every child of
school age, unless disqualified by dis
ease, must attend school at least twelve
weeks in the year. No certain time of
year is specified and any twelve weeks
is permissible.
Under the circumstances the job of
the truant officer is an empty one, as he
cannot successfully prosecute a truant
until the year is over. The pupil can
say, no matter when he is arrested:
''True, I've not attended school yet, but
| intend to attend twelve weeks later
d."
The officer can prosecute the pupil or
parents after the school year has ex-
PRED, but not before. 1t will then be
useless for the same reason that it does
no good to lock barn after the horse
has been stolen.

while Angoras are kept largely as
brush destroyers, the demand for mo-
halr for manufacturing purposes is
steadily increasing as new uses are be-
ing constantly found for it. That many
more Angoras will be used for their
Heeces IN coming years appears to be
highly probable.
While it lacks the telling properties
of WOOL mohair is employed success

Fabrics. particularly pushes. dress
goods of various designs, table covers,
etc. The characteristic luster of the
fleece is retained in the manufactured
article. giving pleasing effect to the
dyes, which are usually fast, so that
the cloth does not fade. Goods made
from mohair are extremely durable.
hence their desirability for upholster-
ing, for use in railway coaches and
street cars. for carriage robes and rugs.
Mohair cloth Will turn water, and its
lightness gives it an additional advan-
tage for many purposes.
The annual production of mOhair is
about four pounds per animal, al
though the weight is largely deter
mined by the grade of the Angora. In
the southwett the goats are usually
ShOrn twice year, as otherwise they
are apt to lose the fleece by shedding.
In colder sections they are sheared
once year, the fleece growing to an
average length of about ten inches. The
length and tincneSs of the mohair
largely determine it's value. so that
the six months clips sell ut mt CHI low
er prices than the annual clip brings.
The difference is partially Offset by
Slight increase in the combined weight
of the semiannual clips ove.' that of
the yearly clip.
The AngOra has two coats Of hair.
the outer one being what is termed
mohair and the inner and coarser one
kemp. The dyes which affect mohair
serve only to slightly discolor kemp.
and vice versa. For this reason it is
necessary to separate the kemp from
the mohair for the manufacture of the
finer grade of goods. The great de
sire Of the manufacturers is to secure
mOhair that is free from kemp. as it's
removal at the factory is costly
process.
The better the breeding of the Ango-
IA the less will be the amount of kemp.
and the better the care and feed given
the animal the greater will be the
weight. fineness and luster of the
fleece. Walter b. Whitman in Farm

PROFIT ~ SHEEP.

Good Money For Jerseymen Who
Grow For the New York Market.
do not believe there ever was a time
in New Jersey that the growing of early
lambs has produced more profitable re-
turns for amount of capital invested
than within the last ten years, writes
Felix Albright. Jerseyman. to Amer
lean Agriculturist.
Some farmers have stuck to the
sheep through thick and thin and have
profited well by it. In proof of what l
have written | cite one case. \ farm
er with whom l am very familiar gave
me facts and figures concerning his lit
tie flock of thirty-siX Southdown ewes
purchased early in July of last year
for $40. A thoroughbred Southdown
ram was used with them. The lambs
came strong and healthy. The ewes
and lambs were all fed a liberal ration
of grain. At thirty-five pounds live
weight the lambs We're sent to New
York. The first shipment sold for SO
per head, the second lot brought SIS
while the last returned the owner ST.
The ewes We're fat and ready for
market at the time the lambs left them.
They were sold before time to turn Oh
pasture for from 5 to Jl% cents per
pound, live weight and weighed from
125 to 40 pounds each. Upon closing
up his sheep account for the year this
farmer found that he had the whole
amount of invested capital and $34S
to deposit in the bank.
The question arises, Is there any
branch of live stock upon the farm
that will pay Il more profitable return
for capital invested and labor perform
ed than the keeping of a few sheep and
growing early lambs? Yet sheep are
seldom seen on the farms Il many sec
items Of New Jersey. Mon farmers at
present do not even find room for a
dozen or so sheep to be fattened and
slaughtered for home use

If the rye is to he fed alone to hogs.
the best results will be obtained grind
ing the grain and soaking it in water
for twenty-four hours before feeding.
1t is hardly advisable to feed rye or in
fact any grain without some other sup
Elementary food. Young pigs always
make better gains upon two feeding
stuffs than one. Accordingly, the rye
should be ground and soaked with an
equal quantity of corn. Such a ration
will prove more satisfactory than Ell
Their corn or rye alone. and there will
be much less danger of the pigs be-
coming diseased. Rye, which has prac-
tically the same feeding value as bar
