Should Respect chiId's Wishes

1--WE should respect the child's in
dividuality. His life is unique de-
sign, which he alone can work out.
Most of us try to have our childrens
experiences for them. Let us give adj
vice when it is asked for and trust our
children as souls. No compulsion to
external obedience can have the power
Of an appeal to the soul of a child-his
own sense of right and honor.
"It requires far more attention and
concentration to the development of
character to influence childd for
righteousness than to force him to
the semblance of it. Our homes should
have few rules, but a loving atmo-
sphere.
1--WE need great patience for this fine
work. We are impatient with children
because they do not act as if they were
grown. Instead of saying, Repent and
become as little children, we prac-
tically say, Repent and become as
grown UP people,
Child Lacks FatherIy Care
"A constant and loving comraderie
should exist between the child and
both of his parents. Most homes suf-
fer from too little father. Some men
are too busy making a living to live
with their children. Fathers, your
money may be a curse to your sons,
out your sympathy ana manly cOunSel
may be great blessing. To all moth
ers would ring out this call, Let
motherhood be your profession!'
I'VE wonder why our children do not
obey us. 1t is because we do not obey
any central law or principle. If we
controlled ourselves we could take and
keep the citadel of any child's heart.
There should be entire honesty in
all of our dealings with the child. If
there be in our lives sincerity and a
deep-seated truthfulness that says what
1t means and means what it says, our
children will grow up toward that high
ideal. If not, they will lose that holiest
incentive, faith in their parents.
Love Should Prevail
"But in this, as in all other relation
ships, love Is the law of laws, and is
that alone which redeems, lifts and
wins the victory. 1t is the beginning of
wisdom to find God in the child. It Is
the perfecting of wisdom to be God
unto him. An old proverb says, God
could not be everywhere, so he made
Mothers I would change it and say,
God would be everywhere, and so he
made mothers and fathers

SHELTER FOR SHEEP.

A1e Main Thing Is to Guard Against |
Exposure to Winter Rains.
Where sheep are sheltered within
buildings it is simply Indispensable
that they shall be well ventilated while
the sheep are housed in them, says Pro
fessor Thomas Shaw in American
Sheep Breeder. This can usually be
accomplished readily where there are
windows or doors on two sides of the
building. Except in extreme instances,
sufficient ventilation may be had by
opening some of the windows or even
doors on the lee side.
When sheep are confined to a yard in
winter, no attempt should be made to
house them in a close building at night.
The yard should have a dog proof
fence. A fence made of boards or by
building a straw stack on the exposed
J side will answer best, as the winds are
then shut off, which greatly aids in the
/ we'll doing of the sheep. Such yard
( shut off from the winds and facing the
/ sun makes an ideal place for sheep in
/ winter when they cannot get to the
fields, but it must be kept sufficiently
bedded to be perfectly dry. When
sheep have the choice of lying in such
a yard or in a covered shed they will
usually prefer the former.
In wintering sheep, they must be
sedulously safeguarded, first from
Crafts and second from too warm
housing. The former are especially in
furious to them. They come through
cracks in the Notwithstanding OF
through leaving windows or doors open
on the windward side of the shed.
When thus exposed, they contract
colds, and coughing and catarrh follow
which, of course, are against the well
doing of the sheep.
But housing in sheds that are too
warm Is simply disastrous to the flock.
1t induces sweating, owing to the
warm covering of the fleece; hence
when sheep are turned from such a
place into yard on cold day they
quickly contract colds. Such treatment
will soon wreck any flock. Give sheep
the choice Of choosing place on which
to lie down on windy day, and they
will prefer lying in the open, by the
sheltered side of the stack or a tight
board fence, to lying in a closed shed
or in part of the yard exposed to the
wind.
Cold rains are most to be dreaded by
the tlockmaster. Exposure to one sucf
rain, If severe and prolonged, may d.
more harm than exposure to weeks Of
dry cold-in fact, exposure to dry colo
does not do any harm if accompanied
by protection from draft and wind. OF
course the closeness or openness Of thu
wool covering will exert a very i'm
portant influence on resistance to rain
but no class of sheep should be exposed
long to a cold rain if any measure car
be taken to prevent it.

FEEDING POINTERS

The question of feeding grain to
young animals has been much dis
cussed by live stock authorities through
out the country, Many careful expert
ments have been made, with varying
results. Investigation and experiment
.tation have not been i'll vain, however,
and the mind of the feeder is clearer
on this question than ever before. That
the young steer calf should never be
allowed to lose his calf fat" has been
amply demonstrated. The same fact
is true of young pigs and lambs. There
is very little danger of making the
young calf too fat, but a moderate
amount of grain, fed regularly, will
give best results in connection with all
kinds of young stock. 1t has been fire.
quently demonstrated that young pigs
can easily be stunted by being fed too
much corn. a pig which is fat when
old enough to wean will hardly ever
amount to much.
MOlasses For Feeding Steers.
Recent English experiments had to
do with the possibility of substituting
molasses for roots, the comparative
value of pulp and sliced roots in feed
ing steers and the value Of gluten feed
and meal. The general conclusions
drawn were in effect as follows: 1t
would seem from these experiments
that molasses, although much relished
by stock, cannot satisfactorily take the
place Of roots in fattening ration.
Wet or Dry Grain For PigsT
From accurate compilations made by
Professor Henry of the results OBJ
tanned in the Wisconsin, Minnesota, Or
egOn and Missouri experiment stations
it was learned that it took 4S3 pounds
of dry meal or grain on the average to
make 100 pounds Of pork, while 451
pounds of wet meal produced on the
average 100 pounds of pork under the
same conditions, a difference of Z per
cent in favor of the wet grain. AS this
represents the combined or average re-
suits obtained at four different stations
widely separated as to location and
probably very different in natural con-
dltions, the findings should fairly well
represent the superiority of wet meal
for pigs under average conditions. -

Rest is not only necessary in lame
horses, but it is equally so in sick
ones. If a horse is suffering from any
ailment that exertion causes him dis
tress he is better not moved. When a
horses temperature is above normal
he should be kept quiet, as exertion
tends to intensity fever and may give
rise to the development of some serious
malady.

1t Was An Important Meeting.

The conference held here
Wednesday between the citizens
of this town and vicinity and the
visiting railroad officials and
grain buyers is certain to prove
of importance to us all later.
The question of securing extra
large stock yards at this point to
accommodate the large amount
of stock that will be shipped
from here when the railroad is
in operation is an important one
and has been taken up at some
length with the railroad officials
by correspondence previous to
their visit here. We believe,
however, that they were con-
WINGED of the business of our de-
sires at the meeting here We'd
nesday and feel sure that Cotton
wood will be given ample ship
ping facilities for all of the bust
ness that may develop here in
that line.
In securing the location of
Balfour, Guthrie and Kerr, Gift
ford warehouses at this point
our farmers are to be congratu-
lated. The former company is
one of the largest wholesale
grain firms in the world and has
buyers in every grain producing
section of the globe. 1t is the
largest grain exporting firm on
the Pacific coast and is closely
followed by the Kerr, Clifford
company. With such big dealers
in the field the farmers will be
able to sell direct to the export
ers and save the middle mans
profit and in cases of close bid
ding neither company will hest
tate at a few cents a bushel as
both firms are able to disregard
price when they desire the grain.
Smaller dealers cannot compete
with them and the result will be
that the farmer will get every
cent that his crop is worth when
he gets ready to market it.

BASE BALL NOTES.

The Kamiah ball team was
defeated last Friday at Grange
vile by a score of 9 to 5.
Chester Krengle, the speedy
Nezperce short stop, has gone to
St. Maries to play ball.
The Nezperce ball team defeat
the Peck nine on Wednesday of
last week by a score of Is to IA.
The Nezperce boys did not score
after the third inning.
The local team has received
challenges from the lilo and Peck
ball teams and games will pro-
badly be arranged to be played
here in the near future.
Henry La Brache, the crack
pitcher secured from Athena,
Ore, to strengthen the Grange
vile team, took French leave
this week and went to Walla
Walla. He didn't like the damp
weather on the prairie and went
to the lower country in hopes of
getting steadier work. At least
that's what they say.
A bunch of married men from
in and near town went to Green
creek Sunday to play a similar
nine at that place. The game
started in the rain and was kept
up for seven innings and until
stopped on account of the storm.
Both teams had ten scores to
their credit when the game was
called, and another game will
have to be played to decide
which is the winner.
The Vollmer Review thinks
that the reason that ball team
lost the game played here recent
ly was because Cottonwood is off
the reservation. There might
be something to it if it were not
possible to get as much booze"
in Vollmer as in Cottonwood but
under the existing conditions we
fail to see where the reason
advanced holds good. The
visitors simply couldn't play fast
enough ball was all.
The local ball team played at
Nezperce Saturday and won the
game by a score of 10 to II. The
day was cold and both teams
played ragged ball as the result.
The local boys run in 13 scores in
one inning and Nezperce secured
7 runs in another so that the
game was fairly even in spite OF
the errors and high score.
Several of the local players stay.
ed over and attended a dance
there that night, returning home
the next day.
Weather permitting, a bal
nine composed of the farmers
of this section will play the sa
loon men team at the local bal
park Sunday afternoon. Follow
ing is the lineup of the two
teams:
FARMERS p. Bies, John Bies
Tony Terhaar, Mike, John, Ma
and George Schubert, Martir
Wirrer and John Schoeberl.
SALOON MEN-Morrison, Nc
Namara, Funke, Mertes, Mat
lock, Dixon, Stuart, Gwyn, anC
Minis.
The game will be a hot one
and we'll worth seeing.
