CARING FOR the SHEEP IN WINTER
Protection from Harsh Winds, Wet
Feet and Soaked Wool-Feed-

ing and Sailing
The sheep yard should be pro-
tected on the windward sides by a
high board fence, by a building or
anything else that will break the
force of the cold, piercing winds.
Sheep can endure low temperature
better than cows or horses, but
heavy winds are injurious to them.
Especially should they be protected
from the cold winter rains. Damp
ness causes colds. and is the reason
for other ills to which sheep are
heir.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1909-04-21

Salt. every one knows, is impor-
tant for sheep; yet some neglect tc
provide 1t regularly. Although l
don't keep a large flock. prefer to
have salt where the sheep can lick
1t whenever they crave 1t. This l
think much better than feeding 1t
several times a week as some do.
From the action of the animals when
salt is withheld for several days,
take 1t that it is as necessary for
them for the perfect digestion and
assimilation of their food as 1t is for
human beings.

A trough under an open front
shed should be kept filled with salt

shed, care must be taken that the
salt trough is not filled with ice and

NAMES A DEMOCRAT.
Governor of North Dakota Fills Va
cancy in United States Senate.

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 11.-Fountain
L. Thompson of Gando, N. D., has been
appointed United States senator by
Governor Burke to fill out the uaex-
pired term OF Senator M. N. Johnson,
who died three weeks ago.
The appointment of Mr.. Thompson,
who is a Democrat was somewhat of a
surprise as he was a dark horse in the
race. The announcement was made af-
ter long conference in which the
leading Democrats of the state partici-
pated.
Mr.. Thompson has not been SO ac-
tive in state politics as some of his riv-
ais for the appointment. his activities
having been confined. to Tower county,
where he has been a member of the
board of town supervisors and county
judge. Mr.. Thompson is a close per-
sonal friend of Governor Burke and it
is said that his appointment was decid-
ed upon after it was seen that the
Democrat leaders of the state were
hopelessly divided on choice for -sena-
tor. Mr.. Thompson was born in Scotts-
will ILL.,, in 1854.

Omaha, Nov. lin the heart of the

Rhode Island delivered two addresses
here on the banking and currency

his critics. His closest approach came
when he refuted the idea that his eff

Aldrich took occasion to tell of the de-

lpecially the case of the Kansas farmer.

Two Men Arrested and One Made His
Escape.

Syracuse, Nov. 11.-An attempt to
rob New York Central train No. "a, the
American express, between Lyons and
this city last night, was frustrated and
two men were arrested at the point OF
guns. A third is believed to have fallen
under the train and been killed.
The two men arrested said they were
George Williams, aged 49, and Frank
Brown. aged 16, and that they resided
In Buffalo. They declined to talk.
A car on the train was looted of sew
eral hundred dollars worth of silks four
weeks ago and two weeks ago de-
tectives were ordered to ride the train
between Buffalo and this city. When
the train stopped at Lyons at o'clock
the detectives and Express Messenger
Beard noticed three men with a large
electric f1ashlight walking along the
track examining the cars.
When they reached the car in which
the officials were they mounted the
steps and waited for the train to pull
out. The locomotive was soon speeding
a mile minute and the men with a
skeleton key turned the lock. A large
chain still held the door and this was
soon pulled from the woodwork by a
claw hammer.
Two men entered and were covered
by the officers guns A search was
made for the third man, but no trace of
him could be found.

STORM OR EARTHQUAKE.
Which 1t Is That Has Disturbed the
Cables Is Uncertain.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Weather
reports from Kingston, Jamaica,
which the weather bureau here usual
ly receives daily have failed to come
from the West Indian island since last
Saturday and the officials of the SER
vice haze been without information
regarding what has occurred there
since that time.
There has been no general tropical
disturbance indicated in the reports
to the weather bureau from points in
the other West Indian islands and the
weather bureau officials are inclined
to believe that some submarine earth
quake has caused the interruption to
the cables. No earthquake of any
magnitude, however, has been record
ed on the seismographs of the wealth
er bureau or the coast and geodetic
survey here.

PENSION SYSTEM IN EAST.
New York Central, Michigan Central
and Lake Shore Adopt New Plan.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE directors of
the New York Central lines have
adopted a pension plan for that system.
AS the result of which 1,765 men who
are over 70 years of age and who have
served the company ten years will be
retired January 1, 1910. All employees
of the New York Central lines are sub
jected to the new pension plan which
will eventually benefit 100000 men and
make necessary a distribution of half
a million of dollars annually. The scale
of pensions is one per cent for each
year of continuous service based on the
average rate of pay received during the
ten years preceding retirement.
An employee who has been 20 years in
the service and has become unfit for
duty may be retired with a pension al
though he had not reached 20 years.
