given to the world, and by the exer-
ton of bits Of Imagination here and
there naval experts declare they fore
ever kicked up spray in the Pacific.
Here's the way it's being done, this
being the official announcement given
out by the Japanese admiralty bu-
reau at Tokyo:
THE Japanese admiralty has de-
cided upon a large scheme of rearma-
ment instead of building new ships,
the ornaments of the old will be
altered SO as to bring them into line
with the most modern Ideas and with
the requirements indicated by the war
with Russia. Thus vessels of the
Mikasa type which have hitherto car
ried four 12-inch guns and IA six-inch
will henceforth carry fovr ten-inch
instead of IA six-inch, so that their
principal armament will be brought up
to eight pieces Of heavy caliber. In
fact, their fighting strength will be
doubled. Similarly in the case of YES
sells like the Retvisan, taken during
the war, their new arament will con-
sist of four 12-inch and four ten-inch
pieces, the latter being substituted for
the 10 six-inch which these vessels
originally carried.
When the programme is carried out
it will have the advantage of creating
thoroughly homogeneous fighting
force.
"Firstclass cruisers are to be added
to the navy. These ships will have a
displacement of 1860 tons with a
horse power of $4,000 and speed of
rs knots. They will be $50 feet long
over all with 80 feet beam and draft
Of 25 feet. Their armor will be seven
inches and their armament will con-
sist Of ten Pinch guns, some six
inch and ten 4.7-inch. One of these
ships is to be built at Kure.'
Every year naval efficiency is
reaching higher plane and experts
declare 1t to be physiological GER
tainty that more powerful mode of
warfare on the water must come. That
has been the trend of events from

Small Flock of Sheep.

A small flock of sheep will often
prove very profitable. even when the
farmer is SO situated that the bulk of
his attention must be given to other
things. Some say that it requires as
much knowledge to know how to
handle small flock of sheep as
large one. and this in measure is
true. hut 1t is Lot largely true. For
instance a small flock of sheep run
ming in large pasture with other
stock, will not be so likely to render
the pasture unsuitable for the con-
tinued pasturing of sheep by the intro
duction Of intestinal parasites as in
case of a larger flock. The little flock
OF sheep will thrive on some heritage
that other stock will not eat, and so
this can be utilized when 1t would
otherwise be wasted.

men fought from RATS. Later came
their crude canoes and then the
Vikings. Several hundred years
elapsed and big nations fought from
behind bulwarks on wooden ships. Eff
forts were then made to put speed into
the sailing vessels. The discovery
of the steam engine helped this.
Then came the eventual discarding of
wooden vessels. This was brought about
in America when the battle between
the Monitor and Merrimac was fought
and the fight in itself marked step
in naval warfare. The Merrimac en-
bodied an idea up to that time I'M
thought of in Its armor OF steel rails
laid half foot or more thick on Its
sides and top. No shells Of that time
were found able to pierce this arrange

IL there has been an uneven distribu-
ton of grain in feed troughs. If the
loss of wool is limited to three or four
and the rest are contented, there need
be no alarm, but If there are indica-
lions of general uneasiness among the
sheep, an inspector should be con-
suited.
Brushy pasture should not be feared
for sheep. Nearly all range sheep are
in brush constantly, without showing
any Ill effects of it.
In Colorado, self-feeders are very
popular in feeding hay to sheep. A
self-feeder saves time and feed. AL
though the representation given here
may involve a little more outlay for
material than some hay racks. it is
counted very economical, because it
prevents much waste accompanying
the use of most devices while sheep
are eating. When panels are used
usually one linear foot per sheep is
allowed. With this feeder four inches
per sheep is ample space.

OF course every country maintains

as consequence, the usual approach

are strengthened to their top-most
point. Russia has not yet recovered

scrapping to the uninterested specta-

deadliest sort OF combat known, for In
Sinking" an airship every man aboard
would undoubtedly be killed by hard
compact with mother earth.
Then, on the other hand, perhaps
there will be no future wars, at least
among the large and civilized powers.
OF course the barbarians will break
out occasionally, but among the bigger
nations there are now SO many peace
bodies that one has to walk about
carefully in order not to encounter
doves of peace, minus feathers. There
are dozens Of international peace and
arbitration societies whose one theme
is don't shoot" and these hold SEES
sions annually. 1t is said that they
really cement relations between coun-
tries and the time may come when
they will become so numerous that con-
flict will be impossible without Staying

other medium Of the big powers, al

STOCK POINTERS.

Dry weather is said by some to
cause the foot Of the sucking colt to
contract.
Always. before feeding. give horses
some water. After feeding they
should again be freely watered.
The horse, to get best results,
should be given a uniform amount of
feed and at regular hours.
The only reasonable way to keep
cheese from molding is to dip it in
paraffin and then store in a room
which has temperature below 40 de-
grees and where the air is dry.
An experienced dairyman says that
III pounds of alfalfa hay are required
to one pound of bran IN feeding value
If bran gets too high at your local
feed store the next best thing to do is
to grow little alfalfa.

A Glossy Coat.

The beauty of the horse is increased
by glossy coat. This is especially
desirable, If the horse is to be offered
for sale. There are two things that
go to produce the glossy coat and
they are, good feeding and good curry
ing. The latter brings out the gloss
that is in the oil that is supplied by
the glands to the hair to keep. 1t in a
normal condition. Good food consists
in giving enough of grain ration, so
that the animal may have an abund-
ance of material out of which to make
muscle and fatty tissue. Not till the
animal is able to supply the needs of
the muscular tissue does he begin TO-
lay up coat Of fat under the skin.
This makes the skin and hair of better
character than when the material for
the fat formation ia lacking.

Also a Few Words About Evidence Of
Scab in Flock.

Regarding the loss Of wool, If sheep
are pulling and biting, or IL tufts of
wool are found protruding from the
fleece, the indications are that the
cause Is scab. The disease may be
widespread in a flock before much
wool is lost. When sheep lose their
wool from this cause the disease is far
advanced. An inspector should be
consulted. Overlooking causes wool
to slip. Sometimes bunch of sheep,
as a whole. may be fed very light

the flock may get too much, especially
