adjusted and the road was
opened a year later.

CREATES NEW OFFICES.
Secretary Knox Pays Attention to Con-
 sular Service.


 Washington, Dec. s1.--To extend fur tner his general plan of specialization in the commercial and political affairs of the world, Secretary Knox has cre- ated a division of near eastern af- fairs" and has selected Even E. Young of South Dakota, now American Con- sui at Saloniki, as chief of this new division. which will have to do with affairs in Turkey, Persia, the Balkans and other States in that part of Eu- rope.
 This plan is in accord with the poli- cies of all of the leading nations of Europe.
 A certain specialization in European affairs has also been arranged for un- der the direction of Mfr. Hale. the Third Assistant Secretary of State.
 The consular service Is to receive more attention than hitherto. with a view to its development and incresed efficiency. The Secretary has appoint ed Wilbur J. Carr. chief clerk of the Department of State, director of the consular service, newly-created of- flee.
 During a number of years. MT. Carr was the chief of the consular division. and later has combined the duties of that ofice with those of chief clerk Hereafter he will give his undivided attention to the consular service and will undertake to broaden materially It's scope and usefulness.
 MT. Carr will be succeeded as chief clerk by William McNeir, chief of the Bureau of Rolls and Library, and John A. OConnor, assistant chief Of the Bureau of Rolls and Library, will sue ceed Mir. McNeil as chief of that de vision.
 Charles E. Wilson. law clerk of tho Department of State, has been ap- pointed as assistant solicitor. and will be succeeded by Henry l.. Bryan. ass sistant law clerk of the department.

These ewes averaged near ly one lamb each, which were sold wien less than five months old, at s4.50 per lamb. etogether with three pounds or wool per eve The wool would near ly pay for keeping the sheep. and the lambs netted a. good profit after pay ing for the ewes. Had these lambs been dropped; two or three months they would have sold at two months old for as much money.
 The greatest obstacle in raising sheep successfully in this State at present Is the dog nuisance, but the farmers in other sections of this country have had this same trouble to contend with. and have solved the matter satisfactor- lily, ana there are resOIS ID DoueV5 tnh ! the Legislature of this State will. at the request of the stock men. deal witn this matter effectively In the near fu- ture, and thus encourage and develop an industry which cannot well pros per under present conditions. {.
 According to Government statistics. there are about 100000 sheep in Mis- sissippi. valued at the low price. of SI 60 each, being less than one sheep per farm It is safe to estimate that ten times that number of sheep could be kept on the uncultivated lands of the various farms with little added ex- penses to the owner.
 The kind of sheep to keep will de- pend largely on the character of the soil and food furnished. High land pastures are preferable, as sheep are unsuitable for grazing in low. marshy lands. Ordinary pasture will carry one sheep per acre and goood pasture will carry two.
 our climate is such that 1t is advis- able to shear sheep twice a year, say about in April and in October. In this way more wool will be obtained and the comfortable. The short or medium wool breeds have so far proven them selves better adapted to the climate and conditions Of the South than the heavy, long wool breed.
 E At the A. and NJ. College we have dttion. when raising early lambs. on one half pound of cotton seed meal and one pound of hay per head daily, when given the run of sod field. This Is much cheaper than sheep can be win tered in other parts of the country. Plenty of salt and. pure water should be provided. as stagnant water and mud holes are sure to create loss from stomach worms. foot diseases and other troubles.

 From the northern glaciers the Ia nous Kuskoqulm flows westward 400 miles through twisting channels and dismal forests of spruce to the salt marshes of Bering Sea.
 Northward the melted snows flow I55 miles via the Kantishna and Tan ana rivers to the Youkon. while to the westward streams in untold thousands cool the North Pacific Ocean through Cooks inlet
 East of Mount Mckinley the Alas kan Range broadens out into rolling sheep mountains, but to the south westward the range Is 6 wilderness of thousands Of deep canons and great snow coated peaks that extend In an unbroken. line 260 miles to Lake H.

 As Mount Mckinley lies only 2a0 miles from the Arctic Circle, 1t is by far the highest northern peak in the world. ::

sHEEp RAISING.
Not only Yield Handsome Profit, But
 Pay for Keep.

Magnolia (Miss.) Gazette.
 Sheepraising, though one of the ear Hest and most profitable occupations of man. and which was for many years a rapidly recovering from the setback received on account of low prices of wool and mutton. The prospects arc that sheep in the years to. come will be more profitable than ever, as the demand for mutton and wool in this country and on foreign markets was never so great as at the present time
 Inasmuch as sheep raising is' looked upon as one of the most profitable branches of farming on the highest priced New England farms, they should prove of exceptional value on the cheap
 rough lands of the south. On many of the farms of this State a fair sized flock of sheep could subsist on the waste that now yields no revenue, while for cleaning up and fertillzing the land no better agents could be employed. Their ability to convert the underbrush. weeds and grass on waste places of the farm into mutton worth cents per pound, and wool at 20 cents per pound, as well as adding fertilizer many to be as valuable. pound for pound, as commercial fertilizer, should make the raising of sheep much more important branch of agriculture, especially. with the farmer with small capital, as there Is no other animal which offers such prompt and sure re. turns and requires so little labor and attention. While sheep are first-class scavengers, eating 90 per cent of all the weeds that grow, they should not be used solely for this purpose. as sucn conditions are not conducive to their highest development and greatest re- turn to the owner. In his work at the A. and NJ. College with sheep, Profess sor Lloyd reports that starting with a few cheap grade ewes, yielding 2:9 pounds of woool per year. he was able by better food to increse the weight of fleece to 3 1-2 pounds and by cross ing them with pure bred ram, sheep with only three crosses of pure blood, sheared fleece weighing from from five to eight and. half pounds each, and yielding each year over 100 per cent profit This improvement Is sim ply the result of better care and the introduction of pure blood. and Is the only method by which the scrub sheep of this State can be improved, The amount and quantity of the wool de- pends, not only on the breed Of the

Doa,t waste Your Reaa Money.

Raleigh Progressive Farmer.
 It Is estimated that the sum of $70.- 0oo.0o0, Is spent annually in the con- struction of public highways In this country. Of this great sum of money 1t is safe to assert that two- thirds of 1t is misspent; that Is to say. 1t has not been spent in wy to produce the kind of results possible to obtain from It's investment. This Is largely the result of lack of proper information and experience In methods of work
 One of the very first things that county commissioners ought to do Is to have a good map of the county showing location of all the public roads in 1t. A study of the topography of the county Is also essential In the Improvement of the. roads selected 1t Is expedient to make such changes as will avoid going over the tops of the hills. It costs no more to build around hill than 1t does to go over the top of it, and the distance is usually not greater. By building around a hill the road can be made practically on . plane. thus saving much wear and tear
 In planning the building of highways good Idea is to make the county town the central place from which to make the roads radiate as main arter- les: then build crossroads as feeders to these main travelled highways.
