When sheep begin to eat corn heart.
lily they should be carefully watched
as to stomach and intestinal troubles.
Lambs, especially eat ravenously.
They should be given plenty of salt
and water, and induced to eat as
much green or dry roughage as DOS
sible. This will prevent their eating
too heavily of corn.
Sheep intended for the feed lot in a
short time should be brought gradual
ly TO concentrated feed, while on the
green stuff not more than n small
handful of oats should be given each
animal per day, and at least four
weeks should be occupied in getting
them on full feed. Sheep that have
not been used to grain should gain
well If so fed. When on fattening
feed they will finish off nicely and
may be marketed by New Years.
Since they can be finished by that
time there is no reason why they
should be pushed hard, and possibly
at loss.
The greatest trouble an ambitious
feeder has is to feed lightly enough at
first, to take enough care in getting
the sheep on full feed without over.

ALMA Nj. PLEASANT.
Game Lost For College on Referees
Decision.

Alma played with Mt. Pleasant
her fourth game of the season,
Saturday, October %. There was
a change in Alma S lineup, Kefgen
playing fulback, Misenar, right
guard, Campbell, left end, Cook,
left half and Ewing, quarter. This
enabled Alma to play the fastest
and best game of the season even
though the score seems to prove
the opposite. In line bucking AL
mas line was invincible, but the
Normals failed to hold the charges
of our team. Within three minutes
after the kickoff Alma had run the
ball over Mt. Peasants goal for
touchdown, kefgen making the
final plunge. After the referee had
blown the whistle for a down the
Normals threw kefgen back on the
| grldlron knocking the Dall from MS
hands and then trotted back across
the field for a touchdown. The
referee would say nothing at all
against this and the umpire allowed
it to stand. Alma'S team was pen
allied repeatedly in an utterly
ridiculous manner.
Mt. Peasants team played a
good style of football although
they are not especially speedy.

Arguments Made Today BY the Attor-
neys and the Case viii Soon
Be a Thing OF the
Past.
THAW is NOT WORRIED
The Family Busy Reading Magazines
and Paying No Attention to
Jerome When He
Argued.

WHITE PLAINS, Aug. THE last
words for and against Thaw were
spoken today when Jerome and
Morschauser summed up the evidence
presented during the past three weeks.
Justice Mills will announce his decis-
ion on Thursday 1t would not be
surprising If it is favorable to Thaw.
Many believe that If Thaw is declar-
ed insane, the court will send him to
some other state institution for OBJ
servation and probably final parole,
instead Of back to Matteawan. Spec
ulation regarding the outcome Is rife.
That Morschauser planned the closing
OF the case with care is admitted. The
last witness was the weeping mother
of Thaw, who denounced Jerome and
Matteawan and made a vivid impress
sion upon the Judge.
Jerome reviewed the two murder
trials and in summing up, said that all
witnesses appeared to be trying to tell
the truth excepting Evelyn. He took
the testimony and fitted it to the de-
scription OF paranoia, as outlined by
the state experts, declaring that
Thaw's double life bears out the par
anoia diagnosis.

heredity.' and Imperfect childhood" )"
Mrs Thaw read a magazine, and Har-
ry and Morschauser conferred earn

sharply outlined charge of insanity.
While Jerome was speaking Mrs.
Thaw distributed to the newspapers.
a statement attacking several OF the
state alienists. Jerome outlined the
testimony which he said bore out the
contention that Thaw suffered from
delusions. He characterized Thaw's
conduct in the court room and on the
stand as insane, and attacked Thaw
for his refusal to allow the alienists
to examine him. Jeromes plea lasted
an horr and half and he then con
cluded by saying, Here Is man &C
quilted of murder because of insanity

insane and year ago was again pro
nounced insane by three experts. Now

tilla of evidence which might be
distorted into an indication of insan
