 Sheep Notes.
 The unprofitable ewes should be re- placed with the best eve lambs.
 The profit of sheep is not all in the nut ton; the wool counts something.
 All lambs that are not to be kept as breeders should be sold before they are year old.
 It does not pay to feed fat lambs as they should be sold as soon as fn- ished.
 themselves to the farmers who have lit tie capital.
 Dip the flock before it is put in winter quarters and be sure the sheep are free from ticks.
 Good feed and care are quite as essen tial to good wool making as to good nut ton making
 One advantage with sheep is that they will often yield a fair profit under un- favorable conditions. When lambs are one year old they shed their teeth, which makes the gain more difficult and expensive Arrange a yard in connection with the barn so that the sheep may go out on pleasant days in winter. If you cannot give the flock roots dur ing the winter be sure and arrange to give them an allowance of bran. Do not leave the sheep out in cold rains as the sheep would catch a bad cold and undesirable results might follow. Sheep naturally drink little and often, 1 and on this account supply of water should be kept where they can help them | selves.
 On many farms sheep should be looked | upon as auxiliaries in keeping up the fer | l...ty of the soi rather than means of | profit.
 Sheepmen are quite well pleased with the | price they got for their wool this year. | A little better than last year always causes satisfaction.
 Ensilage Is an extremely satisfactory | food for all sheep except ewes with l lambs; 1t is said to be too fattening for 1 them unless fed moderately. 1 The common turnip harmonizes with the sheep in fine shape; not so much as a l food, but as form of succulence it aids | the grain feed in it's work. l Be sure that the ewes are in good l flesh when they come in for the winter, and they must be kept in that condi- ton if you expect fine lambs. l To a considerable extent, the value of /, sheep must be estima ted from the stand point of breed. fertility and general ad- 1 vantages of the farm Over-feeding at an l early age is accountable for many fail | ures. as an injury is done that cannot | be overcome by weeks of careful atten- | ton.
 It is a mistaken idea to suppose that large areas are required which to l raise sheep. It is true that it will not do to crowd too many on a small area with the idea that they will get their iv- | ing from vegetation there, but. say, 10f sheep were to be kept. fifteen or twenty acres. properly handled, together wi-h proper feedings. would bring desirable results.

But at home there was one girl who
had hope. And when spring came
again, there was one man who had
made up his mind to obey to the letter
the parting injunction of William
Ziegler, even then doomed to death:
Don't come back without Fiala.
Bring him back dead or alive"
Mr.. Champ knew what that meant,
and he resolved to do it. While Fialas
men were fast losing hope, the Terra
Nova was making her way northward
almost by inches. She sailed from
Tromsoe, Norway, on June Is last. she
encountered tremendously thick ice all
the way. She encountered perils that
would have driven back almost any,
one save an American.

direct for the ice fields, which she

north. When young Fiala applied for
q place he was accepted. Mr. Ziegler
found that the young man had already
an enviable war record in '9S, when he
went to Porto Rico with troop g, and
was also an accomplished artist, pho
tographer and stenographer. So the
young man got one of the coveted
places.
Two years later he came back.
The expedition had been failure.
There had been dissension among the
officers of the America, which finally
stirred up spirit of mutiny even in
the men. Little was accomplished: the
chickering's which had been bred in the
Arctic were kept up when the expedi-
tion arrived back in New York. Mr..

to have it presented under the auspices
of the University of Pennsylvania, but
little progress was made, and the plan
was finally abandoned.
Three states and three cities all claim
Franklin. Massachusetts makes the
boast that he was born in Boston; New
York has erected statues to him be-
cause he spent many useful years In the
metropolis, and Philadelphia would
monopolize the glory for itself and the
Keystone state because 1t was while the
Quaker City was the storm center of the
revolution that Franklin lived here and
performed deeds that have made his
name forever notable
Perhaps, fearing that New York or
Massachusetts might attempt to steal
away the celebration, Pennsylvania has
already taken action that will make
Franklin's birthday big event in the
keystone state. The legislature listened
to the appeal of the Philosophical So
ciety to make a contribution for the
exercises, and awarded $4,000. This
Gov. Pennypacker, with an economy
that would have had the approval OF
Poor Richard cut down to $4,000.
But there will be no lack of funds, for
half hundred members of the society,
as we'll as other admirers of the sage,
have agreed to subscribe whatever may
be needed. Both the state and the fed.
eral governments will take an active
part. Gov Pennycracker, who has
made long study of the life of Frank
lin, will preside. President Roosevelt
has promised to figure in whatever way
the committee may desire.
But this is only a small part of 1t.
The government of France will pay
| tribute to the statesman, who won its
friendship in the stormy days OF the
American republic. A special French
commissioner will come to the United
States to take part in the ceremonies.
Foreign men Of science, as we'll as men,
bers of the societies to which Franklin
belonged, will have delegates present.
Men of type, from printer to editor, will
also have part in the celebration.
Franklin was one of the earliest Of
tie great Americans, for he was born
in this country. His people fled from
Northamptonshire, in England, because
they desired to find religious freedom.
They came to the colony of Massachu-
setts. took up their home in Boston, and
here was born Benjamin, the youngest
son of the family, on January II, 1906.

along eastward until June 27, when
she began to drive her way through
the foes. On July 25, four weeks later,
the Terra Nova struck open water.
But this was only for a brief spell.
On July 2S she again hit the ice.
Champ had experienced navigators
with him and they were agreed that
they could never reach Fiala. Some
even doubted that they could get back
themselves until next year.
Keep on ordered Champ quietly,
and the resolute men set their faces
still to the north.
On July rs they sighted Palmi island.
Next day, after a 24-hour battle, they
reached the island. Then they knew
they had won. There they found six
members of the expedition which
Fialas foresight had left there. Then
Champ knew that his mission was
successful, for the six told him where
headquarters were at Cape Dillon, and
that Fiala and the rest of his men
were alive and we'll there.

STATUE OF FRANKLIN
MEMORIAL TO AMERICAN TO
BE ERECTED IN PARIS.
dwelling Will Take Place on 2ooth
Anniversary of His Birth-Great
Celebration Planned by
Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia.-Whe the two hun
dredth anniversary of the birth of Ben
jamin Franklin is celebrated, on Janu-
airy II, 1906, the kindly regard in which
the memory of the first American minis
ter to France is held in Paris will be
shown by the dedication of a bronze
statue of Franklin, given to the city by
John H. Harjes, at present the resident
member in Paris of the firm of Morgan,
Harjes & Co., of New Iork. The statue
which will be replica of the one in
front of the post Office in this city, will
be placed, in the small grass-covered
plot in the Rue Franklin, near the Place
du Trocadero and just in front OF the
Trocadero palace, which has been given
for that purpose by the Municipal Coun-
Gil of Paris. The pedestal will differ
from that supporting the Philadelphia
figure, that being deemed too massive
for the site to be occupied in Paris.
AS early as May last Mr.. Harjes
formulated his offer to NJ. j. Bouvard,
administrative director of the services
of architecture and promenades of the
city of Paris, and, after some negotia-
ton in June last, addressed NJ. Delcasse,
then minister of foreign affairs, asking
him to use his influence toward expedit-
ing matters on account of the shortness
Of time before the anniversary. This
letter, written the day before NJ. Del
casse resigned, was answered by NJ.
Rouvler, his successor, in an exceeding
ly friendly spirit and conveying the
necessary favorable report. AS time
was precious, Mr.. Harjes had anticlpat-
ed a favorable answer by cabling to
John ]. Boyle, the New York sculptor
who produced the Philadelphia statue,
giving him instructions to begin work at
once on the replica. Since then Mr.
Harjes has received word from the
sculptor that the statue will be deliv-
cred at Havre by December Is next.
1t was originally intended that the
gift should come from the citizens OF

Mr.. Ziegler's injunction, as he intrusted
the young man to the command of the
America, the best ship that ever ground
her way through Arctic ice.
Fiala promised.
He sailed from New York in May with
the members of his party. The other Of
ficers with him. were: R. r. Tafel, of

girl from Nashville. She had relented

But nobody knew that either had
promised the other. 1t was only when
the brief dispatch came on August IL
that Miss Puryear told her secret-she
was to marry the intrepid young arctic
explorer when he could come back to
her. Wooed six years and his promised
sweetheart for two years more, she had
kept her secret well. For two years
lacking less than month she had not
heard word from him. Her last let

the gallant little band passed out of
reach of the mails for almost IL months.
