LoRIMER LAsHED BY BROWN
Nebraskan Threatens to Hold Up APP
preparation Bills If Vote on Scan
dial Is Not Ordered.

Washington.-Sena Norris Brown
Of Nebraska in speech before the SEN
ate charged that Senator William Lor-
inner of Illinois must have known that
his election to the senate by the Illi-
nois legislature was accomplished by
corrupt practice. He held that Sena-
tors Holstlaw and Broderick and Rep
resentatives Lee O'Neil Browne,
White, Link, Beckemeyer and Wilson
had been bought to elect Lorimer SEN
a.or; that Browne and Speaker Ed
ward D. Shurtleff of the Illinois house
of representatives were the political
agents of Mr.. Lorimer in accomplish
ing his election, and that It was not
possible for the election to have been
brought about under the conditions
then existing except by corrupt prac-
tees. Mr.. Brown devoted most of his
remarks to an analysis Of the testi-
mony which involved directly the rela-
tions of Lorimer, Shurtleff and
Browne and the relations of Browne
with his thirty minority followers. Mr..
Brown issued challenge to obstruc-
tionists that he would hold up appro-
priation bills unless the senate votes
at this session on the Lorimer case,
the resolution pertaining to the cleo
ton of senators by the people, the bill
to create permanent tariff board and
a general service pension bill.

IMPROVE THE
FARM HOME
Ample Supply of Running Water
Is Not Only Household Con-
venience, but Is Big
Money Saver.
{By C. r. BARNEs.)

Few things will contribute more to
the comfort and sanitation" OF a
home than an ample supply of RIM
ming water. This is one of the sub
stantial attractions of the city home
That 1t is found in comparatively Few
farmsteads is reproach to the thrift
of the owners, as well as to their char
acters as husbands and fathers.
A supply of running water is not only
household convenience, but it is a
money-saver in numerous ways In
the mere matter of watering cattle, it
will not only make large saving of
labor, but it will increase the flow OF
milk in dairy cattle and cause fatten-
ing beeves to lay on more flesh than
when their drink is limited.
The economies it will effec, on even
the moderate sized farmstead will
amount to good deaf more each year
than the interest on an investment of
$500; and only rarely would the outlay
for its installation amount TO SO large
sum as that. Forest Henry, ina re-
cent article, figures that-a well being
already available-the cost may Re
kept within $500; which includes a
500 windmill; 100 feet Of 1A-inch
pipe. connecting with house and barn,
and cost of laying same; the building
of cistern; small stock tank; float
valves and sundries. The interest on
5000 at six per cent. 10 only $1z gear.
It is safe to say that any farmer, with
an ordinary bunch" of cattle, loses
several times that amount in butter or
beef product alone, from the limita-
ton of the amount of water which is
inevitable where much labor is In
volved in watering the animals. All
this without taking account of the con-
veniences, the improved healthfulness,
and the saving of labor In the house.
which accompany the introduction OF
running water.
The question with farmers should
not be whether they can afford nm
equipment for running water, but
whether they can afford to go without
IT. Those who have installed such AN
equipment are usually prompt in an.
swering this question with an en-
phatic negative.

tBy WALTER B. LEUTz)
Most men who now raise sheep and
those who are about to make a start
want breed that will produce both
good mutton and good wool--a rather
difficult combination.
4 There are some breeds, however
that produce both, but like the dual
COW they are not in favor with the
men who believe that one must breed
for, milk and butter, or for beef, and
not for all
The following breeds of sheep are
probably better fitted by nature and
Improvement to produce wool and
mutton:
The Shropshires are much thought
of throughout the west. The ewes
weigh from 125 to $50 pounds, are
very early maturing, producing very
excellent carcasses, and shearing
from I to 10 pounds per head.
The Hampshires are large sheep,
not quite SO early maturing 2but pro-
ducing very large lambs at an early
age. They shear Approximately the
same as ShropshiresJ
The Oxford are very similar to the
Hampshires in size and character.
The Southdown is particularly a
mutton breed, producing fleece
somewhat lighter than the breeds
mentioned above, but nevertheless
producing a good fleece and a most
excellent carcass of mutton.
The Williamson enterprise. [volume] (Williamson, W. Va.) 1907-1911, 1911-02-16

The Dorsets, when mature, weigh
from 100 to $50 pounds. and are very
prolific. They shear fleece of me-
dunn weight, and yield a good car
cass. They are particularly valuable
because Of their extreme prolificacy.
producing frequently three times in
two years. .
The Rambouillettes and Delaine
Merinos are fine wool sheep, and pro-
duce f1eeces which will yield from 10
to 16 pounds per head. They also
produce good carcasses of mutton;
however, more emphasis has been
placed upon the fleece than in the
breeds mentioned above.
The greatest difference between the
Rambouillette and the Delaine Meri-
no is in the greater size of the former.
The Cotswold, Lincoln and Lester
are known as the long-wooled breeds,
producing deeces weighing from to
IL pounds, and producing good car
casses before the lambs reach the age
of one year. These three breeds are
comparatively large.
But breed is not everything In the
selection of breeding-rams and ewes.
After one has made up his mind as
tc the breed he wants then he must
know how to select the best individual
of that breed.
There are some mighty poor speci-
mems of the best breeds, and the trick
is to know enough to let these alone.
