The Oak.

England won her supremacy on the
seas with her ships Of British oak, a
wood that Is renowned for strength
and durability. When the Spanish mr.
mazda set sail for England its COM
mander had express orders from the
king Of Spain to burn or otherwise de-
stroy every oak In the forest of Dean,
then the great source of shipbuilding
supplies. But, as blunt old Drake
prOphesied, Philips beard was singed
instead. Admiral Nelson declared that
without heart Of oak" the British
navy and empire would soon come to
an end.
The oak is beautiful at all seasons.

perience the Wisconsin station publish
es the following concluson
From the breeding records Of 5f4
ewes at this station we conclude that
Tor such animals and conditions as ours
the normal period of CESSATION ranges
from IA to $50 days after the date of
service and that more ewes will lamb
14G days after service than at any 9th
err time.
There is no appreciable difference in
the period of CESSATION for male and fe-
male offspring in sheep.
There is no apparent relation between
the duration Of the period of CESSATION
and the period required for maturity.
Quick maturing breeds appear to carry
their young for shorter period than
those breeds requiring more time to ma
ture
Large lambs are on the average car
ried in the utero for an appreciably Ion
ger period than small or medium lambs.
Lambs dropped before the one hun
dred and forty-fourth and after the one
hundred and forty ninth day Of preg-
nancy are lacking in strength and vi
tally at birth.
Shropshire ewes were more prolific
than any other breeds and crosses. ex-
cept the fourth cross of Shropshire rams
on Merino eve foundation.
From the data presented it is appar-
ent that twins are the normal increase
for ewes of the mutton type
One-year-old rams are not SO prolific
as those two or three years old. Ewes
average larger percentage of increase
in lambs after they reach full maturity
at three years Of age until after they
are six years old, when the rate Of in
crease diminishes.
The amount of service required of the
ram in breeding has an influence on the
percentage increase in offspring of the
ewes that produce lambs Ewes bred
early in the season of mating to sin
gle ram dropped larger percentage of
lambs than those near the latter end of
the season.

any wider. as then the sheep swim
ming through could turn around, which
Is one Of the things to be guarded
against. The vat is made FIVE feet deep
to obviate the danger of the sheep
striking the bottom of the vat when
thrown in and is made sloping at the
sides to save expense in dip. The in
side of the vat should be flush, so that
no obstruction will interfere with the
passing through Of the sheep. Sink the
vat in the ground to the depth Of four
feet. The vat should be filed with
water to see If 1t leaks. Keep water in
it till the leakage stops. then bail it
out and fill with the dip.
Wool of Welsh Sheep.
The fleece of pure Welsh sheep
weighs from two to three pounds, says
Henry Stewart in Shepherds Manual.
The fleece increases in weight consid-
erably in crosses with the wool bear
ing breed, and it is staple of fine
quality. 1t has, however, mixture Of
hair, which tends to diminish its val
lie. A peculiar characteristic Of this
wool is that 1t never Nhrinks, and 1t is
this wool from which the popular
Welsh f1annels are fabricated. 1t Is
said, too, upon good authority, that the
all other breeds. 1t is usually home
spun and is woven at home into all
sorts Of clothing. The cloaks. all dyed
red, which are worn so universally by
the women are made of this wool.
The Black Sheep.
A writer on brigandage In Greece
some years ago stated that NO band of
brigands was complete without it's tame
sheep. The animal was used to lead
the sheep which the robbers might
steal and which without leader would
be troublesome to drive away. This
brigand sheep was, appropriately
enough. generally black one. black

when young and brought up among the
brigands. to whom 1t grew attached
and whom 1t would follow willingly.

May Go and Come by Any Route
over the A. c. l.. They Desire.
Several new tourists plans have re-
Gently been inaugurated by the At
lantic Coast Line. Heretofore when a
ticket was purchased in the North the
holder reached his destination by a
stated route. A person now travelling
to Tampa can consult his own pleasure
as to whether he wishes to go by way
of the east coast, west coast or lake
region. He can now go one way and
return the other, taking in the scenery
of both routes without any additional
cost. Not only will these privileges
be granted tourists, but stop-overs will
be allowed at any point within the
state of Florida, either going or re-
turning.
The Atlantic Coast Line has over L.
400 miles of rail in Florida and this
new concession will be of distinct adj
vantage to tourists who desire to
thread the state without additional cost
of railroad fare.
Early in January the Coast Line will
establish daily sleeping car service
between Jacksonville and Augusta, via
Savannah. On the 18th, it will start
a sleeper between Jacksonville and
st. Petersburg, leaving Jacksonville
about 9:35 p. m. and arriving at St.
Petersburg about $3.50 a. m. This train
will connect with the Savannah train
leaving here at 3 o'clock in the after
noon. A parlor car will also be put on
the day train from Jacksonville to St.
Petersburg

The Central Preparing to End Its
Birmingham Line.
The Central of Georgia Railroad is
making preparations to build spur
tracks into the coal fields in the vi
entity of Henry Ellen and Leeds in the
northeastern portion of Jefferson
county, Alabama. The Birmingham
News says "Supt. Crawford of that

survey being made The Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railroad Company is
preparing to open one of the largest
and best equipped coal mines III the
state in the vicinity of Henry Ellen.
The Central of Georgia will be among
the first to run tracks to these mines,
and will also reach other mines which
are likely to be opened up in that
section of the state. d. X. Baker, su-
pervisor of the Central of Georgia
Railroad on the Columbus Birmingham
division, with headquarters at Good
water, has been making up an estimate
of the cost for the construction of the
spur track in the upper part of the
county.
1T is learned that the Seaboard Air
Line Railroad and the Southern Rail-
way will also build spur tracks into
the new coal section, the Southern al
ready having a line within a short dis
lance of the new mines being opened.
The Central of Georgia owns some of
the lands in the neighborhood of Hen

WILL BE ERECTED SHORTLY.

BE Only a Few Months When Club
owns Quarters.
Within the next few months the
South Side Administration Club will
occupy quarters of it's own, plans now
being under way for the erection of a
club house
The matter will be brought up at the
regular weekly meeting of the club
tonight and definite steps will be
taken toward securing the erection of
the building
The matter has been under discus
sion in an informal way among the
members of the club for some time.
Assurances have been received from a
number of prominent residents of the
South Side of both financial and moral
support, and the leaders of the club
feel the time has come to make the
PAoito pLOllS dliQ push Tie lIldll6I 10 d
successful conclusion.
Will Issue stock.
A committee will probably be ap-
pointed tonight to select a site for
the building, and to make all the nee
essary arrangements. There are three
sites now being considered by the club
leaders. 1t is the desire of those push
ing the plan to get the building start
ed early in the coming year.
The club will probably issue stock
at $40 a share to raise sufficient funds
for the purchase of lot and the erec-
tion of the building. With the do
nations that have already been vol
UNFAIRLY offered. it is believed that the
money can easily be raised. Several
of the South Siders have offered to
give 500 each, and one or two have
offered more.
The plan is to erect a building with
one or more stores on the first floor,
and the club rooms on the second. The
rental from the stores will aid in pay
ing for the building. 1t is not the in
tention of the club leaders to put up
an expensive structure. They want a
large lot and good, substantial build
ing that will serve every purpose, but
they do not care for anything fancy.
Regular Social Club.
The club will, of course, always re-
main political organization, but as
soon as the new building is completed
all the social features of a downtown
club will be added. The club rooms
will be kept open every night, and all
the periodicals and magazines will be
subscribed for.
There will be reading room, smok-
ing room and general club hall In ad-
dition to the regular assembly hall,
where the political meetings are to be
held. The adding of athletic features
with shower and plunge baths is also
being discussed. All the members OF
the club, who have so far been con-
suited about the plan are enthusiastic
