IfYou've Sheep You're Interested

a little Ienoleum makes very good com
pany for a flock of sheep. To soak man
is not usually productive of good results,
but to soak sheep in Zenoleum means hap
piness for the sheep. 1t not only makes
an excellent dip for curing scab, but it
will kill ticks, lice and maggots and screw
worms. 1t is a good thing for the nodu-
lar disease, good in castration where gan
creme has set in, for healing shear cuts
and wounds 1t is a sure cure for stom-
ach worms and is recommended for this
purpose by some Of the most prominent
sheep authorities in America. With all
this, il is an excellent disinfectant, val
liable always in maintaining healthy quar-
tiers for the animals. An excellent quality
of Zenoleum is that whether taken in
wardly or applied outwardly it is non
poisonous. 4 quart can costs only half
dollar, and most dealers sell Ienoleum.
You can get a whole gallon for 81. so, and
II you are going to dip sheep a gallon OF
Ienoleum will make 100 gallons OF sheep
dip. Read the advertisement i'm another
column, and then be sure and ask for that
valuable 6l-page booklet, Veterinary Adj
WISER" which can he had free by any
reader Of this paper il they will only men

OLD-AGE PENSIONS.
Baltimore d Ohio First Railroad to
Establish System.

ehobHeh SyotoUls
OF the $50 odd old employees of the Bal
timore Il Ohio railroad-not inclusive OF
the Il. q o. s. w. or subsidiary lines
now on pension roll for the regular month
ly allowance the company pays TO them
during life, half the number were in ac-
tive service 40 and more years, 40 of them
exceeding 80 or more years; one round
ing out full 60 years. The combined
years of service these veterans put in ag-
gregated nearly 1900, which was an
average of 4425 years each, a record show
ing OF continuous duty with a single cor
poration. Forty-three of these pioneers
in American railroading are now so and
more years of age, thirteen of them hay
ing passed their S5th milestone; two
reaching beyond their DIST.
Old-age provision for faithful service
was inaugurated by the h. Il o. company
long in advance of any other railroad on
the American continent, and it was the
first railroad company in the world to es-
tablsh pension system on the basis OF
itself contributing the entire fund; foreign
railroad pension, or approximation funds
as they are termed abroad, calling for
most of the amount from the men through
their own contributions. The earliest cor
porate movement of any nature on this
side looking TO care for employees was that
OF the Baltimore & Ohio way back in
1914. Its present plan, under which eli
gibility for pension is after twenty years
service, has been in effect for quarter OF
a century and there are employees still
living who have been on the pension roll
for upwards of two decades,

Free hides and protected leather i.
what shoe manufacturers, through their
representatives in congress, are working
Tor. Free hides means a greater supply,
thus lowering prices for the benefit of the
manufacturer. With tariff on leather,
which of course diminishes the supply,
the manufacturers regulate and maintain
their own prices upon their products.
Free manufactured products will not, OF
should not, interfere with the business OF
the country any more than will free raw
materials. Why should it? Are the manu-
iacturers running the government? II
would seem 80 to see the number of rep
resentatives in congress.
