the most important things in making
the sheep business profitable is care
Sheep feel neglect, and there is always

less, careless way. Every year raise
lambs that are better than their DAMS
and your success is assured. Take good
care of the ewes. This care ought to
begin before the lambs come. Getting
ready is always the most important
part of all. The ewes should have the
best hay and grain we have in the crib.
Musty hay will not do Heavy grain is
not the thing for the last few weeks
before the lambs come. Keep salt be-
fore the sheep at all times. They eat
lots Of 1t.
Sheep and Dogs.
We have kept sheep for the last
twenty years and never had a dog
bother them, says Maryland breeder.
If you will put sheep bells on about
half of your flock you will not be both
cred with dogs. A sheep dog is a
sneak thief and will not go where he
will make noise. Put fifty bells on
a hundred sheep, and you need moi
lose any sleep listening for dogs. The
bells cost rs cents per dozen, straps
about the same price. l live In dairy
section, but some farmers keep sheep
and dogs attack only the hocks that
are not belled.
Weeds and Sheep.
Weeds come in without any effort
on our part, but in spite of our hardest
efforts to keep them out. How can VIZ
utilize them? Pigs make good use Of
them, but sheep will make the best use
Of the weed crop, writes a farmer in
Rural New Yorker. Sheep can be tied
In a fence corner or with q portable
fence kept on small piece of GROUND
after one crop has been taken off an(
the weeds start. There are dozens oil
ways in which the sheep can be used
to keep down weeds, and they vii
prove blessing to any weedy farm.
Shearing Sheep.
Those who have very many sheer

well to learn how to shear by hand
Teach the boys even though you hav,

any tags on the sheep If you dom
want them in the wool, clip them of

The best time to dip is right aftel

PLANT PROTECTION.

Ways Of Shielding Them From the Hot,
Direct Rays Of the Midday Sun.
If plants are not protected from high
winds and too much sun they will not
flourish, especially in the early stages
Of their growth. This is particularly
true of the plants in the vegetable gar
den, and fortunately there are many
easy and simple methods of providing
them with shade. Empty soap boxes
raised on blocks, empty fruit baskets,
rolls of carpet and mating spread out
on supports to look like awnings may
all be used. Old mattings or carpets
that have seen their best days may en-

erings. The great thing is to cover
the plants so that they will be shady,

Importance Of buying rams of good

have room for two crops, plant sec

MANAGING POSTS.

Easy Methods Of Putting Them In or
Taking Them Out Of the Ground.
One Of the farmers problems is how
to look after the many posts which he
has need Of in keeping up fences, etc
While experiences differ, it is safe to
say that white cedar poles last longer
than any other kind. White oak posts
are also good. 1t is said that posts put
into the ground tops downward will
outlast those that are set tops upward.
This is due, so it is surmised, to the
fact that they absorb water from the
earth when they are set in the natural
position, but do not absorb it when
they are reversed.
If the end of a post is allowed TO
soak in liquid tar or is treated with
creosote, it will last much longer than
1t would ordinarily. When it is neces-
sary to draw post out of the ground,
it may be accomplished with little DIFF

LIKE: VOTING MACHINES.

a decided success. Not word OF con-
demnation can be heard from any one
All are in favor of the new method.
The smooth manner in which the cleo
ton passed off, the short time which
was taken to learn the returns has
converted many to the new way of vot-
ing.
Before election. many who had been
casting their ballot for years by the
old method, shook their heads and
said nothing, but their looks were suf-
ficient to show how they felt on the
proposition. But yesterday not one
of these had word to say against the
machine and why should they?
The returns were completed within
a short time after the polls closed
and before o'clock the full returns
were in the office Of the city clerk.
The record for the election was made
by the officials from the second pre-
cinct Of the Fourth ward, who had the
complete returns in the office Of the
clerk at 1928. The result from all the
precincts were known within short
time after the voting ceased. The
only delay being in the Second ward,
which was not heard from in full for

was due to the judges not being ac-
quainted with the manner of proceed

Iowa He brought a personal injury
case for one Clinton Bently against
the Minneapolis Street Railway Com
pany for $4,000. The defendant COM
pany sprang u surprise by proving that
Bently had been committed to the asy-
lum in Iowa for inebrecy by his own
attorney while the latter was serving
on the bench. With this as a founda-
ton it was sought to show that Bent
ly was an habitual drunkard and in
toxicated when injured.
A certified copy of the records was
introduced showing that Judge Richard
had committed his client to- the inebri-
ate asylum at Knoxville. The judge had
forgotten the incident, but did not dis
putc the records. The jury finally dis
agreed after celebrating thirty-tW two
hours, but stood 10 to 2, indicating that
they thought Judge Richard had cured
his client Of drinking when he COM
mtted him to the inebriate asylum.
The two jurors for the railway COM
pany favored small verdict for Bent
ly, but Judge Richard had insisted In
his closing argument on the full
amount, hence the disagreement. The
case will be retired at once.
