The Shepherd
And His Flock

Three years ago a Wisconsin MAJ
purchased on the Chicago market {
band Of eighty ewes at n cost of $40
says Breeders Gazette \ few week,
ago he disposed of them, not one hav
ing died meanwhile, for $40. Althoug
old and in his judgment past the az,
of breeding usefulness, another farm
er secured them with the object OF
founding flock.
The Wisconsin man. while gooc
sheep handler, did not keep books, con
sequently his revenue from that small
band of ewes cannot be given with any
degree of accuracy. During the three
years they were on his farm, however
he sold lambs TO the value Of abouI
$500 annually, although to do this Z
was necessary to keep them until mid
winter. This money he regarded a,
clear profit, charging up the value OF
the wool against the cost of maintain
ing the ewes and raising the lambs. Ii
other words. n band of eighty ewes
paid return of 200 per cent annually
on the original investment. These fig
ures appear alluring, and the fact mus
not be overlooked that band of ewe
OF this size, with their progeny, arc 6
constant care on the farm, this being
one reason Why the native crop is as
meager as ii is.

American farmers. The Danish ba-

panel was mounted fine photograph,
all in warm brown tones that harmo-
niZed restfully with the wood.
The photographs were covered with
glass, and around each ran a narrow
moldlng stained TO match the wood
exactly.
Those photographs were almost
square, but the same idea could be
carried out with the tall, narrow
photographs, using more Of them, of
course, and with oval ones as well,
and the gray tones can be used, with
the wood of the screen stained that

One worry good way to apply lotion

needed into n saucer and use stcrlliZed

clean, wide mouthed jar with screw

Ironi.cd Table Water.

There is no drug that has been so
wrongly used and unjustly condemned
as iron. 1t has been taken in huge
doses and has then been rejected as
causing headache or other trouble. The
truth is that iron does most service as
tonic when the dose is very small
and it is taken over an extended pc
riod. The following is an excellent
way of making an ironized table wa
ter: Place a teaspoonful Of dilute per-
chloride OF iron in nm eight ounce bot
tie, fill up with water and shake. Add
a teaspoonful of this to sufficient wa
ter TO make ono pint. This may be
taken as freely IS ordinary water.

Nnrsery Furniture.

Nursery furniture should be small.
but it should be light in weight also.
The little bent wood chairs are very
good. They can be lifted and carried
about by very small people, and they
have no angles to bark shins on I'M

idea. Let the decorations stop with the

Sheep are always improving or they

The way TO keep ideal sheep is by

THE
THE
NEW YORK WORLD
THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.
Read Wherever the English Language
iE Spoken.

The Thrlce-a-Week World was a brilliant
success in the beginning and has been
steadily growing ever since. Time is the
test of all things, and has set its seal of ap-
proval on the Thrice-a-Week World, which
Is widely circulated in every State and Ter
ritOry of the Union, and wherever there are
people who can read our mother tongue.
This paper for the year 1908, will make
its news service, if possible, more extern
sive than ever. All events of importance,
no matter where they happen, are reported
accurately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar year
gets three papers every week and more
news and general reading than most great
dallies can furnish at five or six times the
price.
The Thrice-a- Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect its news columns,
and Democrat and Republican alike can
obtain IN its pages truthful accounts of all
the great political campaigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice-a-
Week World furnishes the best serial fiction,
elaborate market reports and other features
of interest.
The Thrice-a- Week Worlds regular sub
scription price is only $1.0O per year and
this pays for 156 papers. We offer this un-
equaled newspaper and The SMYRNA TIMES
together one year for $1.75. The regular
subscription price of the two papers is $500
