PUT ON BATHING SUIT;
Is FINED TEN CENTS

NEW ORLEANS. July 2s.-The china (
OF the farce of Sunday law enforcement
of Mississir~i came today when over a
hundred people against whom affidavits
had been filed gathered in superior
court at Beloxi, and were fined 10 cents
each for violations.
Several OF the offenders had commit
ted the crime of milking their cows ar
ter midnight Saturday. Others rode in a
hack after the arrival of the midnight
train on Saturday and others had done
the unnecessary labor OF putting on a
bathing suit and going IN bathing.
Many of the residents say that they
will take a bath and go fishing on Sun
day end will then appeal the case TO
the supreme court rather than pay the
10 cents fine.

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-04-01

We are told by a college professor
that eight pounds of mangels are
equal to one pound of mixed grain,
but he does not say that it should not
be relied upon as a single ration. The
capacity of animals to which mangels
are fed must be taken into considera-
ton. 1t would require great deal of
capacity for some animals to get
enough mangels for their wants. Best
results come from feeding mangels in
connection with grain or ground feed.
In feeding lambs or hogs they will add
bulk to their feed and be helped along
this line.

cester, have been crossed upon our
native fine-wooled ewes, resulting in
a good quality of mutton stock. 1t
must be acknowledged that these
cross-bred sheep do not produce as
heavy a fleece as the Merino and at
prevailing prices of wool it is not pro-
fitable to carry them over for their
second clip and little increase in
weight, but their points in excellence
for mutton production are so much
greater than their deficiencies in COM
parison with the Merino for wool pro
duction that they are in favor, espec-
tally for producing lamb mutton.

Secure Agency for Prussian Remedies

Secure Agency for Prussian Remedies
Mr.. George Phipps, manager of the
Prussian Remedy Co., of st. Paul. has
been making an extended tour of the
Pacific coast, and was in Seattle about
two weeks ago. While here he closed
an arrangement with the Chas. H. Lii
ly Co. whereby the latter become the
Pacific coast representatives of this
well-known manufacturing concern.
The Prussian stock food, poultry food
and various remedies for livestock are
among the most meritorious of the
kind manufactured, and the Chas. H.
Lilly Co. is congratulating itself upon
having secured the agency for them.
These remedies will be kept in stock
at all three houses of the Chas II. Lii
ly Co., Seattle, Portland and San Fran
cisco, and this will certainly result
in large sale for them.
Mr.. Phipps, in his tour of this Sec
ton, made visits to numerous points
and placed his remedies on sale in
many sections where they had not
been kept regularly in stock. He was
greatly pleased with the outlook, and
in the office of The Ranch made ref
erence to the great activity evident
in all lines of business in our section.
He asked us to call attention to the
change in his agency.
In certain sections of central and
eastern Washington the intensely cold
weather that recently swept over the
state did much damage to livestock in
terests, according to reports received
at the office of The Ranch Many stock
owners were not prepared for such
severe weather, and this resulted in
considerable loss.
The suggestion of George McKer-
row & Sons that where any question
arises in regard to the work of the
judge in making awards between ami
mails that are close contestants, the
feeces of such animals be taken off,
is good one, as under such condi-
ton it will be comparatively easy for
both the novice and judge to see with
their eyes what they now have, lit
orally, to see with their hands.
For years Mexican ranchmen have
been importing high grade stock from
the United States to grade up their
herds. Some of the foremost stoc.;
raisers of Mexico, particularly the
wealthy estate owners in the central
part, where there are grassy and
watered valleys, are importing some
of the best strains of horses from
both stations and mares, showing
commonly a preference for trotters.

Clap Your Hands.

An amusing incident occurred a
fremont temple a few years ago dur
ing a Sunday school convention. The
musical talent was good, and the ap
preciative audience applauded each
number of the programme until Dr.
Lorimer, feeling that the demonstration
was out of place, stepped to the front
of the platform and said that he was
glad those present were enjoying the
concert but he must request them not
to clap their hands. considering that
they were in the house Of the Lord.
The next number following his com.
ment was vocal duet by Winthrop e.
Ferguson (the boy soprano at the
Church of the Advent and Walter
Boyd (sOn of Professor Boyd, director
of music at fremont temple). They
had not anticipated DR.. Lorimer's re.
quest, and the audience was somewhat
startled when their clear voices rang
out with "Oh, clap your hands, all ye
people"

which spontaneously spread over the

these latter were blind, while others
had huge eyes, but nearly all Of them

would naturally be due to the fact that
they live at depth where almost total

PLUNGED OVER EMBANKMENT

Locomotive on Pennsy Runs Into
Landslide at Port Clinton, Pa.
Reading, Pa. April 10.-The Ioeomo
tive of the northbound Wikes-Barre
express train on the Schuyllill divi-
sion of the Pennsylvania Railroad
plunged over an embankment near
Port Clinton, about % miles north OF
this city. The engineer and fireman
jumped as the locomotive went over.
and both escaped with slight injuries.
A heavy rain had loosened the earth
of a high enbankment on one side of
the tracks and a great mound fell upon
the rails. The engine plunged into
this landslide. The rails were torn
up for a considerable distance. but
the three passenger cars remained on
the track level, and not a passenger |
was injured. Their escape is consid- /
cred miraculous. The passengers were
transferred to a train on the Reading
Railroad, the tracks of which run par
allel with the Pennsylvania road at
this point, and taken to Pottsville.
