Not an Entirely New idea.
The fact that there are speciality breeds
of sheep both for wool and mutton does
not argue that there cannot be combined
wool and mutton sheep that will equal, II
not surpass. either of the speciality animals
in their speciality. This is not entirely a
new idea. For years breeders of sheep
have been making efforts along this line of
getting a mutton and wool sheep in the

usually along the lines of crosses Of one
mutton breed onto another. A long wool

about saxty-five years following, when
close competition IN the breeding and ex-

rival competitors to devise means OF ad-
vantage other than their focks possessed.
In 1870 the subject OF a sheep breeders reg

The aversion of the bishop of Lon

sons is notorious, and is widely shared
by the clergy of the United Kingdom.
They have legal discretionary power to
refuse to solemnize the marriage of a
divorced person, but they cannot pre-
vent the use of their churches for the
marriage ceremony. This however, ap-
plies to those divorced by the English

NEXT SATURDAY..

The directors of the Dixie school
district today filed with County Super
1ntendent Bond report Of the in
vestigation Of the charges filed with
the board against Professor Charles
Deane, principal of the schools at that
place.
The directors report that sufficient
evidence was adduced to prove the
charges and they pronounced the
teacher guilty. They, however, shirked
further responsibility and without dis
missing the principal or making any
recommendation whatever, have put it
up to the county superintendent for
final action.
County Superintendent Bond stated
this afternoon that he would hold am
investigation at his office next Satur-
day and would expect all parties con-

WILL TEST DRY LAND FARMING
Experiments Will Be Conducted by Elk
perts at Various Places in
Montana.

Director Linfield states that prepa-
rations are being made by the expert
ment station staff at Bozeman, Mont,
to carry on a number of dry land ex-
periments this year. The Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern railways and
the state have contributed between
them about $500 to pay the expenses
of conducting the experiments, is the
report that comes from Bozeman, Mont.
One experiment will be conducted
near Shelby junction, another one a
little north of Harlem, and a third at
Wayne's Siding, near Great Falls. All
these places are located near the route
of the Great Northern railway. On the
Northern Pacific the experiments will
be carried on at four different places.
There will be one farm at Billings, an
other near Forsyth, another close to
Glendive, and the fourth within a short
distance of Miles City.
The object of the experiments is 20
ascertain what crops grow to advan-
tage on dry lands and how such dry
lands ought to be cultivated.
