Whereas, the Supreme Court of the
United States has decided that there
is no inherent right in a citizen to sell
Intoxicating liquors by retail It is not
a privilege of citizen of the United
States
Therefore, as the saloon has no
moral or legal right to exist, we call
upon all good Catholics to work and
vote for its extinction wherever it is
possible to do so, depending upon the
fact that if the elimination of the
saloon increased the consumption of
liquor the manufacturers of liquor
would welcome its elimination, but the
way brewers and distillers fight for
the retention of the saloon indicates
plainly that its presence means more
business for them and consequently
more drunkenness and evils that flow
from drunkenness.
81. Resolved, That we condemn the
saloon trade for its open violation of
Sunday laws prohibiting the sale of
liquor on the Lords day We regard
the open Sunday as now observed as
seriously menacing the continuance of
our free institutions. We further hold
the open saloon on Sunday to. be re
sponsible for the weakening of the re-
ligious spirit amongst our citizens,
which fact alone, if none other can Be
advanced against it, should be sufficient
to condemn it.
IS. Resolved, That we recommend
the publication known as the Catholic
Temperance Advocate to the members
of our State and local organizations
The splendid and efficient work of its
management during the last year mer-
its our heartiest support and encour-
agement.
20. Resolved, That in order to early
instiI1 into the minds of our children
the benefits that accrue to those who
voluntarily assume the pledge of total
abstinence, we recommend to those in
charge of our parochial schools that
instruction of parochial character on
the evils attendant upon the use of
strong drink form part of their school
curriculum
10 We again, as last year, recon-
mend the formation of Catholic Total
abstinence cadets in every parish. !"

Mansfield Enterprise: When Cover

of Iiberality on his part However, we
see that an Article of the Constitution
provides that the State Board shall lido

out his official obligation to enforce the
law, which is sometimes rare in this

BOIL WEEvIL ExTERMINAToR.

BOIL WEEVIL EXTERMINATOR.
Gibsland News: Last week the News
printed a boil weevil remedy, and this
morning we received letter from w.
z. Lee, a prominent planter of Mis-
sissippi township, saying he had tried
it and he recommends it highly. He
says:
In your last issue noticed state
ment of some one who had used torches
in his cotton for boil weevils, and
have since tried same in somewhat diff
ferent manner.
Not having torches took small Ian
terms, three for twelve acres, and had
a pan for each in which | put water
and oil, and burned lanterns all night.
Since beginning their use [ find that

Improvement in my cotton in squares

thing and will pay any one to try it.

enough if the light can be seen all over
the land. | have my lantern about two
feet over the tops of cotton.

SHEEP PAY BETTER
THAN OTHER ANIMALS
The Wool Pays the Feed Clear
Profit. and Requires Little csre-By j. H. Hynes.

.t
No farm animal pays the farmer
better than flock Of good sheep. The
wool pays the expense of feed, the
lamb is clear profit, and the foraging
work the sheep does in the way Of
cleaning up pastures, fence rows, etc..
saves much labor to the farmer-and
adds materially to the appearance Of
the farm, says j. H. Haynes, in Rural
New Yorker. A good portion Of the
year they are self-supporting, and, bar
ring raids from worthless dogs, they
need no watching. A dog-proof fence
around the sheep yard and a good
rifle are about the only means of de.
Tense from these ours. Sheep thrive
on such variety of foods that any
farmer, regardless of what kind of
soils he may have, can provide for
their wants. Glover or COW pea hay,
corn silage or fodder, turnip. sugar
beets, sorghum hay, clean straw, with
feeds of ground corn, oats or bran,
and occasional feeds of oil cake will
keep flock in good health and condi-
ton. In our sheep experience we find
four or five rules that must be closely
observed.
Sheds are built on high, dry ground,
with protection on northwest and east
sides. These sheds are kept tree
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1909-05-28

they are removed at once to other
quarters and given proper care.
Never keep larger flock than your
land will Justify; better too few than
too many. and then see that what you
have are kept in Al condition. No
breeder can have success without
some painstaking in the observance
of the above rules, and the nearer he
clings to them the better he will sue
coed. The most critical time with the
flock is along about the lambing time,
for 1t is then that the entire profits Of
the flock may be lost. We believe
fully 40 per cent. of the lambs are lost
in this country through neglect, and
every lamb lost equals the loss of a
five-dollar bill. A few weeks before
the season for lambs and ewes should
be fed some hay with crushed corn or
oats mixed, and in connection with
these small rations of root crops will
be beneficial. Too much corn, how
ever, should not be fed, as it is weak
ening when fed too largely. This
treatment will insure strong, healthy
lambs. The lambs should not be al.
lowed to become stunted in any way.
Keep them growing right along. Pro.
vide lambs shelters where they can be
kept separate from the sheep, in

Money in Raising squabs.-There is
market for squads in large cities.
They bring from one to three; dollars
per dozen. according to quality, gen.
eral supply and demand and local con.
ditions. If one has good SQUAD
plant, the best way to dispose of the
product is to secure private trade
with some good hotel or restaurant.
The success in disposing of the prod
uct will depend upon the class of the
stock and how veil the customer is
pleased The business methods of
the SQUAD grower count for as much as
his ability in growing and marketing
any farm products. One reason why
so many have failed in making
specially of pigeons is that they for.
get to master business details.s Plenty
of people will buy squads IL good
ones are raised. However, one can
not expect to make money with only
a few pairs of breeding pigeons. Hun.
dreds of them, must be kept.
