arrested this afternoon on bench war
rant from the criminal court. charging

not straight, and placed an expert ac-
countant on his books. Today the sc
countant reported that he had 50 far
found shortage of $4,000, and upon
receipt of the information the mayor
took immediate action.
New Orleans has suffered from an
epidemic of embezzlements during the
past year During that time over half
a million dollars Of public funds have
been stolen by trusted officials. Tax
Collector Dudenhefer, of the third muni-
cipal district, got away with over $780,
900, and this scandal was shortly fol-
lowed by Chief Clerk Letten, of Tax
Collector Fitzpatrick office, embezzling
$4,000. Then the tax collector in the
Algiers district went wrong for several
thousand and the embezzlements since
then have averaged about one month.

COWS EATING STRONG WEEDS
When Pasturaee Gets Short They Are
Apt to Eat Weeds That faint Milk.

Much trouble is experienced In some
localities In the summer from cows
eating strong weeds. When the grass
Is hush they eat the grass. II 10 only
when the dry time of summer ap-
proaches that the cows turn to the
weeds.
On pastures that are partly worn
out, the grass In the summer time be-
comes very dry from the fact that the
sod is thin and the roots of the grass
do not reach down TO soil moisture.
But the weeds have long roots and
they reach far down into the moist soil
and keep themselves supplied with
moisture.
80 the cows can find in the leaves
and stems Of the weeds more succu-
lence than in the blades Of grass. The
eating OF the weeds gives the milk a
weedy flavor, and this is appreciated
by the creameryman or the cheese
maker II is impossible to make good
butter or cheese OUT of such milk.
So. war should be made on the
weeds or on the drought, declares the
Farmers Review. The weeds can be
mown and partially kept down in that
way. To make war en- the drought. i'm.

Ordinarily shallow blowing is pref.

drought measure. deep blowing is good
The deeper the blowing the nearer
will the bottom of the furrow be TO
soil water. and the easier it will be for
the grass roots to get a constant sup
ply OF moisture for the grass. So long
as the grass can get a supply of
moisture it will keep green.

WHY NOT MORE SHEEP,
A Query Which Every Farmer sheuie
Thoushtfully Consider.

Probably the main reason more
farmers do not keep sheep is because
they do not understand them. You
ask them why. and one will say sheep
will not pay on hish.priced land an.
other will say cattle and hogs will
make more profit: another. they re.
Quire too much fencing. and still an
other will aver that they are too much
bother. Are all these objections well
grounded? Ask the man who has been
raising sheep for the last FIVE years.
He will tell you that sheep will yield
as good IL not better profit than any
other class OF live stock, considering
the expense one is put to In getting
started and for care
Sheep bring in profits from two
sources-namely, lambs and wool. Not
only are they valuable in that way,
but there is no other class OF live stock
that will return such a large amount
OF fertility to the soil. They have fifty
been termed the golden hoof that en-.
riches the soil" As to the high.priced
land proposition. II they did not pay II
continuously on some Of the highest.
priced farms in England, says Good.
sails Farmer. OF course Il is hard to
make farmer in the corn belt, with
land at 500 or more per acre. believe
this. for he has grown up TO the idea
Of raising corn and feeding cattle.
While the profits from sheep rails
Ing are not always constant and will
at times cease to be profit, says the
Farmers Voice, the same is true with
other classes Of live stock. At pres
ent the prices Of sheep and lambs on
our markets are not as good as they
were few months ago, but the man
who is in the business TO stay will un
doubtedly see better conditions in the
not far distant future. High prices for
feed are somewhat OF a handicap to
feeders Of all kinds OF live stock, and
this may be one of the years when the
prohts are not so big. But IL is the |
man who keeps at II who makes the |
money. Good management will count |
Tor as much IL not more with the flock |
as with the herd of cattle or drove OF
hogs. The flocks that do not pay are
the neglected ones-the ones kent |
by men who do not understand sheen.
With the least trouble of any farm
stock, the sheep with its twofold |
source of income will build up the de-
pleted farm and make the productive
one grow bigger crops.
