sheep Notes.

Deputy Sheep Inspector Burns, who
recently made trip over the range, re-
ports that there have been no losses 10
sheep owners worth mentioning so far,
this season. The two stormes there
were severe enough; but they were
luckily followed by thawng weather,
when even the nights were warm. But
losses may be looked for from now on,
as the cold weather has crusted the
snow, and the sheep cannot get down to
the feed underneath it.
The worst loss Of sheep in Montana
from poisoning for years occurred re.
Gently when 5000 head belonging to
Sigmund Thambling, prominent sheep
man of Melville, Sweet Grass county,
died from eating the loco weed. Al
though few shep have died occasional

of the country, still no such loss has
ever been sustained by any one.
The Sweetwater Ranch Company in
Utah has put stop to the invasion of
the pastures by the herds .belongIng to
the Utah Mormon sheep men who have
been running large bands of sheep IN
eastern Utah and Uinta county. Beck
stead, a large sheep owner, had about
20 bands, which were to be run on the
range of the Sweetwster Ranch Com
pany, who have a lease on about 90O,-
600 acres OF railroad land, and gave no
heed to notices that the land was leased.
the foreman and herders were arrested
charged with malicious trespass, fined
500 each and given notice that every
day they were on the leased lands they
would have to answer to new charge.
The sheep were Withdrawn. This is re-
garded as aldefnie settlement OF veXed
question, the inroads OF ontside sheep
heretofore have almost destroyed the
range. Last year there were over l,
900, 900 sheep from Utah and Uinta
counties pastured upon the Sweetwater
range, and they completely ravaged it,
80 that all sheep came off in pror con-
dition. The range is now in good cond.- !
tion and will winter the sheep handsome

the light from my dark lantern into
every corner. From there 1 passed to
the other rooms on the ground floor,

Then l ascended the stairs. On the
second floor l found four rooms. In

asleep. 1 flashed the light in their
faces, but they did not awaken. 1
walked around the room, looked under
their bed and in the closets.
From there l passed into another
room, where two small children were
sleeping. l stood a moment and
watched them.
In the third room l found a young
man. He was the mayors SON. l kept
the light in his face a long time;

l might examine his features the more
carefully, for he slightly resembled

A Sea Lyric.

There is music that man has heard
Like the voice of the minstrel Sea,
Whose major and minor chords are
fraught
With infinite mystery.
For the Seals harp, and the winds Of
God
Play over his rhythmic breast,
And bear on the sweep of their mighty
wings
The song of a vast unrest
Like the love of the deep-soule Sea,
Whose tide responds to the Moons soft
light
With marvellous melody.
For the Sea is harp, and the winds Of
God
Play over his rhythmic breast.
And bear the sweep of their mighty
wings
The song of vast unrest.
There is no sorrow that man has known
Like the. grief of the wordless Main,
Whose Titan bosom forever throbs
With an untranslated pain.
For the Sea is harp, and the winds Of
God
Play over his rhythmic breast.
And bear on the sweep of their mighty
wings
The song of vast unrest.

tic Monthly.

IS
An Elusive Criminal

THE most peculiar experience in all
my professional career" said the Sc
cret service man, occurred in a small
but ambitious city in Missouri. l do
not believe 1 ever related all the par
uculars, even to my most intimate
friends, and l am sure my official re-
ports failed to relate the story in its
entirety.
81 was in search of a young man,
who was wanted for using the mails
to defraud, and l had reason to believe
that he was hiding in this little Mis-
souri, city. l had not traced him to
the place. but l based my belief on my
knowledge of his habits, coupled with
the information that he had relatives
in M.
$50 l took two men and went to M
to investigate We put up at an OBJ
scure lodging house, and l made eau
tious inquiries. l found many who
were well acquainted with the man l
was after, for he had been a frequent
visitor in the place, but none of them
bad seen him for several months.
Moreover 1 learned that the relatives
who, l had been led to believe, were
concealing him, were the mayor of the
city and his family
Now, the mayor aside from having
an excellent reputation for honor and
honesty was one of the leading poll
ticians of the state.
Firmly believing that the mayor
was harboring a criminal, l dare not
let him know that l even suspected
such a thing unless l was absolutely
certain that such was the fact For, if
l was wrong, the mayor, who very
naturally would feel highly indignant
at me, would doubtless take such ac-
ton as would certainly result in my
losing my official head.
Still, my sixth sense told me that l
had my man located, and 1 have al
ways found my sixth sense unerring.
I'm my extremity l enlisted the aid of
a man and his wife, in whom l knew
could place implicit confidence, and to
them l explained the situation. They
were neighbors of the mayor and his
family and they agreed to assist me.
Following my suggestion, the hus
band called upon the mayor at his
Office, and the wife called upon the
family at their. home, at the same
hour of the day. Thus, separately and
apart, the mayor and his wife were
casually questioned about their nephew
who, it was rumored, was visiting
them.
Both expressed genuine surprise at
the question, and both, with all the
semblance of candor and truthfulness,
denied that they had seen the nephew
for several months.
"The woman whose services / had
secured went even further. With
great adroitness she obtained permis-
sion to examine every room in the
house under pretense of inspecting
the arrangements of the building But
she saw not the slightest thing to in
dicate that anyone was in hiding
{" Boys said l, I am positive the
man is in that house, and l am going.

RULES FOR THE EDITOR.
Ten Commandments Which Should
Be Implicitly Obeyed.

Ten Commandments Which Should
Be Implicitly Obeyed.
l. Thou shalt not have respect to
thine own style to the exclusion of
all others.
II. Thou shalt not make unto thy
self a symbolic craven image of
thine own composition, nor bow down
to it, nor worship it because it is
thine own, for the public may not
agree with thee and may visit its
contempt upon thee and upon the
generation of thy precious gray brain
tissue, sending all into justly deserv-
ed oblivion.
III. Thou shalt not take the blue
pencil to an authors work that is
superior to what thou canst do thy
self.
w Remember that thou leave the
authors work whole. Six days shalt
thou labor to improve thine own
style. Then on the seventh day
thou shalt respect the individuality
of another's composition and give
unto thy overworked blue pencil rest
v. Honor the parentage of all
work falling into they hands, that
thy days of revision may be long in
the Office Of thy activities.
VI. Thou shalt not murder the cere-
bral offspring of another.
VII. Thou shalt not adulterate the
authors composition with any of
thine own.
VIII. Thou shalt not steal the ideas
of a manuscript that thou hast read
and rejected.
TX Thou shalt not bear false wit
ness against the character of a manu-
script, thereby causing it's rejection.
X. Thou shalt not covet they neigh

Set Strawberries Early.

People that are intending to set out
new strawberry beds this spring
should not neglect to send at once for
their plants with instructions that
they be forwarded as soon as tho time
approaches for putting them into the
ground. Every year great many peo-
pie neglect till very late the ordering
of their strawberry plants. We have
seen plants arrive with not only the
blossoms on them. but with small
green Strawberries among the foliage.

energy in the development of root,

Small Things About the Orchard.

Small Things About the Orchard.
In a talk to fruit growers R. Morrill,
said: If l were to have an orchard
to lay out in an ideal manner l would
have it laid out with a view of being
able to do all the work in that orchard
economically, to be able to gather the
fruit economically. l will mention one
thing to call your attention to what
mean. If there is no other reason, no
climatic reason, why a tree should
have a long body, / would give it
short body, because by and by you
have got to prune that tree, and every
foot you raise that tree in the air you
have expended energy from the be-
ginning of the pruning of the tree to
the end of its existence in going I'D
and down ladders; every foot means
that percentage of extra labor for
every man that goes up and down that
ladder thousands and thousands of
times during the life of that tree
That means a difference of 10 per cent
on your expense; it might make 20 per
cent difference on your expenses
Those are little things. but those are
among the little things that coust
so much So 1 say. unless there
is some other excellent reason
why you should not do it, L
would advocate short bodies Another
reason Is there is not the same lever
age from the wind on the short body
that there is on a long body. BY the
same rule l would shorten my limbs
and keep my tree compact ands open
for the same purpose; it is economi-
cal. say open" here, but If were
clear down In southern Illinois proba-
bly, would not say open. because the
question of protection from the hot
and scalding sun makes q difference
That is why I wish to modify my state
ment, and what say may be open to

Care of Milk and Cream.

From Farmers Review: / beg the
privilege of saying a few words re-
garding what H. X. Wright said in
the Review of March 4th. 1908, page
l64, on Care of Milk and Cream" l
would suggest that before setting the
milk in tanks of cold water or as soon
as possible after drawn from cow.
that it be run over a good cooler and
aerator, which is machine having
cold water circulating through it. as
the milk runs down over the outside,
which allows the gases and bad odors
that may have been taken up by the
milk while being drawn from the COW.
pass off, as the cold water has a tend
ency to drive it out of the milk If
the aeration is done in place where
the air is pure, the milk will be in
almost the same identical condition it
is as it leaves the ~udder of the COW,
only it will be cold instead of warm
1t is necessary to use water that is
at least so to 55 degrees Fahrenheit,
and the cooler chould be such that it
will reduce the milk within a degree
or two of the water temperature, as
there are different makes of coolers
and all won't do it by just running the
milk over it or ~; but there are some
that will. AS long as the milk re-
mains below so degrees, the germs
that destroy or sour the milk can't
work or multiply; but above 20 de-
grees they increase very fast, and milk
is often several points spoiled before
it reaches the creamery and can't be
detected by the smell or taste, and it
is taken in as sweet milk when it is
not, and thus the keeping qualities of
the butter, cheese, cream or whatever
product is turned out by the factory, is
injured. s. Rayl, Marion County,

From Farmers Review: Farmers

The frost is nearly out of the ground.
The bulk of our corn last fall was
not fully ripe and the wise farmer
will carefully test his seed early. A
good way is to take one kernel from
each doubtful ear and put them be-
tween two pieces of cloth in a dish
of earth, kept wet when the tempera-
ture is not too low, and IL good it will
sprout in four or five days. Do not
