Whipping Post Would
Check Wife-Beatins to
Great Extent. Says Judge

PORT HURON, Mich. Nov. 20.-'In
all seriousness. our laws are far too
lax in melting out adequate punish
ment to wife heaters and men who
abuse their families and should be
amended by placing on the statute
provisions for whipping certain OF
that class" said a local Judge when it
was learned that Mrs. Joseph Blake,
who complained that her husband had
struck her and knocked her down and
had been sentenced to jail for 40
days. secured the money with which
to pay his fine and obtained Blake S
liberty. The fine was SIS, including
costs.
There Is woman" said the judge
who is the greater sufferer In this in
stance, and the man is practically 60
ing free. He will not suffer from hav-
ing to repay that SIS. BUT his family
already sufferers at his shands, wiz
have 10 get along with less that the
money may be paid, for they are poor
people. The woman paid his fine be-
cause the family could not AFFORD TO
have him in Jail 40 days.
Another similar case Is that OF this
Holbrook family that was put out
into the street in the cold yesterday
and the womans life threatened by a
drunken husband. She would not
have him arrested because she could
see no way for the family 10 live
without the man and a rather poor
chance with him.
IF the whipping post were estab
lished the punishment would fall or
the law violator and not on his fam
fly. and II is a sane conclusion that II
would work greater reform than all
the fines imposed since the making OF

YOUNG MEN TO SOLVE
MYSTERIES OF KITCHEN

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, Nov. 20
Fifteen boy students at the Union

There this week by signifying their
desire TO enroll in the class OF dc
nestle science. The boys with the
other students in the school were ask
ed to make a choice Of the manual
training work which they desired 10
assume and instead OF the woodwork

enter the cooking class. Thus the
class. which is usually made up solely
of young women, will be augmented

NUMBERING.

CHICAGO. Nov. 20.-State or fed
eral regulation OF timber cutting on
lands in private ownership Is new
departure In the way of government
regulation which may be erected THIS
winter. say lumbermen In this city, az
result of the disastrous forest nres
which have made this season historic
in the annals OF the lumber Industry.
Timber owners here and throughout
the lake and northwestern states. VINO
have begun to figure up the cost or
the fires, have come to the conclusion
that something more radical must be
done than establishing scattered hre
patrols.
That this something will be regula-
ton by the state or federal govern
ments. which will not only insure
greater protection from fire but VIII
also protect the soil from erosion anu
the streams from floods and droughts,
is indicated by the publication in one
of the leading lumber journals or an
opinion by Judge j. w. Judd, or the
law department OF Vanderbilt univer-
sity. and formerly attorney for the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co..
OH lnt DONtT VI lllt HOfti
control timber cutting on private
lands. In this opinion, Judge Judd
traces the development Of the powers
OF the federal government under the
interstate commerce clause OF the cor
stitution and of the several states
under their right OF police power, and
reaches the following conclusions:
THE federal government has the
power to regulate the use OF the for
ests OF the great watersheds OF the
country forming the source or the
navigable waters, when such regula-
ton has a direct connection with. and
Is necessary, in the opinion or con
gress. TO the preservation OF their
navigability. The states. acting sing
IL or In compact, with the consent o,
congress, can regulate the use or the
forests within their limits, when such
regulation IS necessary: TO preserve
the soil of the land: 10 provide food
and water for the people; to preserve
the health and comfort OF the people;
or to protect commerce by preserving
the navigable streams"
In support OF these views he cites a
number OF recent decisions, notably
one by the supreme court OF Maine la
which 1t upheld the right of the state
To restrict destructive numbering in
the interest OF the general welfare.
This is substantially the position taken
by the supporters OF the Appalachian
bill at the last session or congress.
That the lumbermen, who have hither-
10 usually fought such legislation,
should be falling into line Is consiG-
cred significant

at the Calumet postoffice. More than
$4,000 was shipped out OF Calumet to
foreign and domestic points. This bus

A large proportion OF the money was
sent TO Europe. while some OF the or

of the Christmas season accounts for
much OF the business.

There is plenty of time yet TO mail

people are DESTROYS OF sending money
for Christmas, but for Australia and
South Africa the time Is limited, Be-
tween now. and week or two pre-
ceding Christmas II Is anticipated that

Mr.. Russell has found good deal OF
inclination on the part OF local polid'

THE RAISING OF sHEEP.

No other branch of the live stock indus
try has had more ups and downs than
sheep raising. In some sections, particu-
larry the extreme southwest, sheep are
raised almost solely for wool, because In
a warm climate, whore winters are late
and mild, the sheep can be sheared twice
a year. In other sections sheep are raised
more for meat than for wool. o. c. Gregg,
q Minnesota farmer. says:
During a comparatively recent time the
sheep have come TO have q peculiar value
by reason of their meat product. The NUT
ton sheep of today gives IL largest re-
turn from the meat which is produced.
The use Of mutton as food In our large
cities and towns has greatly increased
during the past few years. 1t Is certainly
u~nbusinesslike to discount the flock OF
sheep as heavily today as heretofore be-
cause the wool clip is sold at a mach less
figure tina q short time ago. We say this
for the benefit of the man who owns a
flock of mutton sheep today. We say
this also for the benefit of the man who
Is thinking OF buying a flock of sheep, 1T
is a good time TO buy. We nave had quite
a successful experience with sheep in Min
nesota. We had some experience, how
ever, that cost us something. We will
now add q few items of our costly expert
ence that may do some Of our readers
good.
First-Keep only good sheep OF the nut
ton variety upon the farms Of the middle
west.
Second-Don't keep too many. / think
that the limit OF 100 breeding ewes is
about right upon the average middle
west farms. Better keep under han over
that number
Third-Use the greatest OF care in the
selection OF the sire SO that he has great
vigor. / believe hat there is as much or
more ir~regularity in quality among the
full blooded mutton sheep as in any other
stock that we have. First. let 1t be strong
and then get all the good hind back and
quarter that you cam.
Fourth-Feed the flock in the winter
time as much as possibly In the open. Let
them have plenty OF exercise. We nave
fed as little as possible In the sheds. do
ing this only in times Of storm.
Fifth-Let the sheds protect only from
sweeping and falling storms. Don't let
them be sheltered In warm stables.
Sixth-Use the greatest OF care in the
change Of pasture SO that the stomach
worm does not assail and cause serious
loss among the lambs.
Seventh--Be sure and dip the sheep at
least once a year. Keep a clean flock. 1t
can surely be done. 1t costs to keep sheep
that are infested with parasites.
E~ighth-Ever bear In mind that It Is
much easier to prevent the diseases In
sheep than to cure them when they nee
become fixed.

OF o c

Ihere are individual characteristics In
animals just as there are in men; some
are born cranky and others docile, says
the st. Louis Journal of Agriculture. This
fact should be borne In mind when train
ing colts or calves. Poor treatment of the
young animals has a decidedly unpleasant
effect upon the grown animal, and the
fruits OF careless or impatient treatment
viii generally boomerang back to the
master when the animal reaches maturity.
The mistreated calf will kick the milk
pail over: the small colt kicked and jerked
about and fretted to death Will balk, kick
and act stubborn. Haven't you noticed
that some COWS and horses like 10 be
petted or fondled around the head and
others get ugly II o get too familiar
with them?
Disposition is both born and made.
Born Kindness and ugly tempers are
things that may be developed. The skill
full trainer can overcome even a bad dis
position by kindness, IL taken In time.
Parental conditions surrounding the dam
have. much to do with the making OF dis
position in the young The dam should be
treated kindly and kept free from annoy
ances that irritate the temper. Kindness
Is reflected In the offspring. Then what
little inherent tendency to be cross may
be overcome by kindness.
