AGE or SHEEP
Notes furnished BY the Minnesota
Farmers Institutes.

Ages sheep are good Fine wool
sheep live longer than medium or
coarse wool sheep, The former have
been used successfully as breeders
from ] to s years. and the latter
from | to 6 and more rarely z years.
This indicates the extreme period Of
usefulness in the flock. The prime
Of life probably extends from | to 5
or s years.
The Lamb Has a short and small
head as opposed to the head Of the
mature sheep. Its teeth are smaller
in every way. They are usually
smooth and white as opposed to a
more corrugated darkened surface
in the old sheep. The age Of sheep
IS told by the four pair of incisors
which are found only on the lower
front jaw. These are all present by
the time the lamb is six weeks old.
The Yearling The central pair Of
small incisor teeth are replaced with
a large pair when the lamb is ten to
fourteen months old. They are al
most twice as wide and much longer
than those at either side.
The Two Year Old Gets a second
pair Of large teeth. Two pairs Of
large teeth mean a two year Old
The Three Year Old Gets a third
pair Of large teeth when about three
years old. 1t would then have three
pairs of large teeth and one pair o.
small or lamb teeth.
The Four year old-Has a full
mouth Of four pairs of large teeth

those in the center.

HENSON GOES UP HIGHER
LindsbOrg Attorney Appeals Contempt
Case to United States Court.

Again does John F. Henson. the ire
pressloie attorney from LindSborg, come
70 the front for the tenth round of his
battle with the Kansas supreme court
rms time the Hon. Henson files his APP
peal to the United States supreme court
in the case of the writ of mandamus de-
MED him by the state supreme court.
Hon. Henson is confined in the McPher-
son county Jail for contempt of probate
court. He appealed more than once, but
always in vain, to the supreme court for
release from what he termed unlawful
confinement. Henson was attorney for
SWede by the name of Linderholme, a
resident of Lindsborg, who was charged
with insanity. Henson appealed the Lin
derholme case to the supreme court and
there fought his first round with that
honorable body.
In arguing that case Henson declared
that his client was no more insane than
the paranotacs who whooped and yelled
at baseball games. AS most of the MEM
bers of the supreme court were baseball
enthusiasts, 1t can be understood that the
argument OF the Hon. Henson did not go
very far.
Then Henson, while on the witness
stand in the probate court in the Under
holme case, refused to answer certain
questions and he was committed to jail
by the indignant probate judge. Since
that time Hon. Henson has made life a
burden to the supreme court in his efforts
to get out on a writ of habeas corpus.
Now he has apparently given up all hope
of turning these hearts of stone and has
appealed his case, wherein the rights of
personal liberty are involved, to the high
est tribunal in the land.

REAL ESTATE MEN met.
Members of Association Hold Session,
Discuss Convention Plans.

Members of the Real Estate Deal
ers Association held meeting this
morning at which plans were discussed
in connection with the convention of
realty men of the state which is to
be held in Topeka March and 10.
It is proposed to hold at 10 clock,
which will tour the city and thus en-
able the delegates to see Topeka. The
entertainment committee of the club,
consisting of W. ]. Rickenbacher,
chairman, n. B. Burge and J. Will
Kelly is meeting this afternoon in
order to discuss further the entertain
ment feature of the convention.
The cabinet for the purpose of list
ing properties with the association
members was put in place today on
the wall of the room of the organiza-
ton adjoining the Commercial club
In speaking of the opportunities of the
association n. B. Burge said:
THE real estate men should be
boosters of Topeka above all other
men. The real estate man who does
not come into this club is q fool. The
man who is so narrow minded as to
stay out OF this organization or the
Commercial club is void of horse
sense"
When a member of the organization
secures an exclusive contract he will
write out a description of the prop
erty and place it in each division of
the cabinet, giving the individual
member an opportunity to sell the
property. In this way sales will be
made with more dispatch.
