swi,scrInnd,s Heat Holidays.

"rhc heat holiday" said II school
teacher, lis Il Swiss novelty that we
ought to introduce here. 1t Is not right
for us to treat our school children In
the matter of weather as we do. The
Swiss have n maximum temperature
for school. When the thermometer goes
above that maximum there Is no school,
whether the month .' April, May or
September. The Chi,u.en in the insult
fcrablc heat are free To battle In tin
Killing brooks, to picnic In cool groves
or to boat on the wind swept lakes.
The Swiss recognize that we can i'm.
pose no greater suffering on little chill
drcn than to confinc them for long
hours at stretch in an intolerably
hot schoolroOm. They know that chill
dren cannot under such conditions
learn n thing; hence the school direct
ors are wise enough by making these
heat holidays TO save the teachers and

acres OF the most fertile corn land in
the west which for three years past,
while plowed and planted, has failed
to produce any crop at all save weeds,
for the sole reason that the crop Is reg
ularly drowned out. This land can be
easily tile drained at an expense of not
to exceed $40 per acre, but because in
dry season 1t does not need such
drainage the owners cannot be made
to see that 1t would pay them to do 1t,
and so they each year go to the trou-
BILE of blowing and planting and just
trust to luck that the Lord will send

one. The profits on just one good
crop would pay for all the thing need.

Frederick the Great thought
more of his famous home, Sans
Souci, than of any other of his
abodes. Being interpreted, "Sans
Souci" means without care. "
In beginning the conducting of
this department in the Press it is
the desire of the writer to notice
only those things which are of
momentary Importance and such
things as are of every day occur
renee yet worthy of comment.
"Without care" shall this budget
be put together, regardless of the
order in which the items come
and without serious thought be-
ing given to their treatment If
any amusing happening comes to
the attention. of the writer it will
be noticed here. The purpose of
the Sans Souci column is to
amuse and entertain if possible
rather than to instruct or en-
tighten.
A good deal of comment is be.
ing had on the streets by business
men and property owners regard
ing the attempted raising of
property renditions by the Com
missioners' Court The general
opinion seems to be that the
Court was mistaken in its efforts
to enforce n higher property valu-
alton and the action Of the court
in resembling its former action in
this regard enhances this opinion.
The county does pot need the eX-
ira taxes and SO long az it does
not there does not seem to be any
special need Of n raise. Some
people may have rendered their
property at figures too low in pro-
portion to Others. This should
he remea;ca But to raise all to
n higher valuation than that of
last year seem to be unreasonable.
The people are taxed enough UNI
less their institutions needed
more money.

has also brought up some things

Der of difficulties connected with

may take a little time to remedy

The prejudice against the use OF
sllaGc as dairy ration has entirely
disappeared. As silnge used to be put
up ten years ago, made from slushy
and immature green corn and thus
fermenting and sourIng badly in the
silo there was no doubt some cause
for complaint, but with the better
methods now employed of using well
matured corn for silage there is no
reason whatever why 1t should not be
one of the very best dairy rations avail
able.
There Is some peculiar quality about
the soils OF new countries when first
brought under cultivation which Ia IA
vorable to the production OF wheat and
oats, while 1t IL at the same time not
so well adapted to the growing OF corn.
In the course of twenty years or 80
this condition il reversed. and the corn
one year with another will do better
than the small grains. When the land
Is new the straw of the small grains IL
stiff and bright and seldom subject to
rust or blight troubles. which later on
are only too common.

sheep and of good staple and classes as medium-is always salable at a good price, One thing very noticeable and exceedingly favorable to Hampshire crossing on Merino ewes, from wool standpoint. is, that the cross does not, as the wool men term it, make the wool irowzy or kempty. very serious ob- lection to some black-faced crosses. The average range sheep man will not sell his eve lambs. The first cross has given him a large, heavy-boned, big bodied, roomy lamb that will grow into a marvelously good mother. She has the maternal instincts strongly devel- oped. Is a wonderful milk giver and a typical mother. In fact, I do not know of any breed of sheep in which this mother-instinct is so strongly devel- oped as in the Hampshire. The shep- herd who knows this will retain his eve lambs for future breeding in same line, or crossing back with Rambouillet or Delaine Merino as his taste may suggest.
 I would say to my brother Hamp- shire breeder: Keep up the good work in improved breeding. Breed blocky good -bohed, good-bodied sheep. Don't breed leg. Breed carcass and breed bread basket" Don't pamper anI baby him. Give him out-dor life and exercise. thereby building up and re- taining his already splendid constitu- tion. Never mind little rain and snow. He can stand 1t and enjoy 1t. The Hampshire I know will do his share as a mutton producer. Mutton has come to stay and mutton will soon be king with the grand old Hampshire resting peacefully on the throne, wear ing the crown.
