CARING FOR SHEEP IN FALL
lambs Should Be Weansd just a.
Hot Weather Sets In-one Great
Aid 10 Plot OF Grass.
CBy ELMER e. HENDERSON,

By ELMER e. HENDERSON,
At this season Of the year It Is very
necessary that the sheep. both ewes
and lambs should be given every pos
sible opportunity to keep in the best
Of thrift.
In travelling along the road one II
impressed with the number Of lambs
that are allowed to suckle their
mothers until almost the opening of
the breeding season..
Such practice keeps the ewes
unnecessarily thin and without any
compensating benefit to the lamb.
1t is coming more and more the
practice for our best farmers to wean
the lambs Just as hot weather COM
mences, say about the first Of June.
There are many points Of advantage
In this. One is that the lambs are
fully weaned and dependent upon
themselves before hot weather gives
the backset. as It almost invariably
does.
Another Is that It gives the ewes
chance to recuperate and be in good
strong condition for fall breeding.
after being sucked thin by their
young.
Another advantage Of the early
weaving Is that the ewes will breed
considerably earlier and early lambs
mean early sales and quick profit.
To keep the lambs going we'll after
they are weaned Is sometimes little
difficult, but that does not excuse one
from doing his best to keep them
coming.
One Of the greatest aids to this we
have 10 a nice plot of fresh grass,
oats, rape or clover-all good, but to
secure something succulent and fresh
Is the important thing. We like to
have It In small lots.
The lambs then Craze of the plot
In few days and are turned to an
other, thus having fresh pastures
every few days.
This grass is supplemented by a
little grain, almost pound day be-
Ing allowed each lamb. There Is no
better single food for lambs than oats.
A little corn is not amiss, but care
must be taken not to feed too much.
OIL cake or oil meal makes very
good supplementary food.
We should not think of trying to
raise our lambs without some of this
wonderful supplementary food.
What we use and prepare Is mix
ture Of the three. About equal parts
oats and corn and one part oil cake
to four or five Of those, being our
standard mixture.

Meridian, Miss.-How q man main.
tanned four households for Is years.
three In addition to that of his legal
wife, was revealed when F. L. Deason.
who lives near Collinsville, was tried
In the circuit court before Judge Buck
ley.
Three Of the women in the case
were sisters Cricket, Dorsh and FL
len Cochran-and they were shown to
be the mothers Of 16 of his children.
Deason also has FIVE children by his
wife.
How Deason was able to maintain
these four families during the period
OF lS years without action having been
taken against him does not appear
from the record, but his neighbors pro
fess they knew nothing about the con-
ditions existing.
When the three women and Deason
faced Judge Buckley they were accom-
panied by their children. and admit,
ted their guilt The women were SEN.
teneed to one day each on the pro-
vision that they leave the county in
60 days. Deason was given 60 days
In jail In one case and three sentences
OF $500 fines and 60 days were sus-
pended.
The trial Of the case brought into
the courtroom an unusually large
crowd. Deason appeared calm and un,
moved. An effort was made to show
he was a Mormon. but this failed.
Asked II he believed in polygamy. he
replied he did not.

Deason Is a farmer. apparently mod
est and retiring.
The section around Collinsville is
sparsely settled with whites, and to
this fact is ascribed the ignorance
professed by his neighbors as to his
relations with his wife and the three
other women. Deason appears to be
about fifty years old: his wife seems
close to the same age, and all three
of the sisters might pass for forty.

FARMERS MAKE OWN MEATS
Danger Of Destruction by Fire
Good for Storage.

In these days OF high prices OF
meats we farmers ought to remember
that we can make our own meats,
both fresh and smoke. the same as our
rorefathers did In years gone by. The
old smokehouses have gone on many
farms. and 1t Is time the good. old
arrangement was revived.
A smokehouse made OF wood, how
ever, is little dangerous. and as
lumber Is getting high In price. and
rather scarce. we must turn our atten.
tion to something else.
The one thing which consider
ideal and indestructible is concrete.
says a writer In Farm Progress A
small house can be Juilt OF concrete.
and there Is no danger OF 1t being
burned.
A good smokehoues can be made OF
concrete on foundation OF stone laid
below the frost line, and besides being
safe from fires, with the right kind OF
doors and locks there Is no danger OF
any OF our meat being stolen
Then, too. the smokehouse is not
only suitable for the storage Of meats.
but other things as well. II 1t is
made of concrete there is no worry
about anything in 1t.
II suitable location can be had It
will be good plan to dig cellar un-
derneath the smokehouse. and by ex-
tending the concrete down to the bot
tom Of all. and laying the proper
drains. an ideal cellar can be made
and not interfere with the storage

It has proven to be an ideal building

;. PROPOSED CzHg HARLkS R0V7X -

- N MORE senses than one England
and America are drawing nearer
to each other. The latest phase
Of this approaching nearness Is
foretold in a geographical sense
by Sir Edward Morris. premier of New
foundland. His scheme is geographi-
cal because he proposes to cut of a
whole day in transit between the two
countries. The saving of day, "a
hours of time, is the same thing as
taking up the United Kingdom by its
roots and planting 1t in the middle of
the North Atlantic. at least thousand
miles nearer Canada and the United
States.
Sir Edwards proposition would be
interesting merely as theory but the
premier is in earnest about It. He
proposes in brief to construct first a
railway from Quebec to a point on
Cape Sir Charles across the Strait Of
Belle Isle at its narrowest part oppo-
site Newfoundland. This railway will
connect with two steamerA of the Lusi-
tania and Mauretania type to run
between Cape Sir Charles and Liver
pool. The sea distance between the
two points is only 1856 miles. running
between Ireland and Scotland and
through the Irish sea. There will be
q ferry across the straits to Newfound-
land.
"This would be by far the shortest
n q q q UA hA ~ M n
steamers of the Lusitania type the
voyage from land to land could be ac-
complished with only three nights at
sea-" said the Newfoundland premier.
THE route would be open all the year
enthusiastically drift and floating
ice would be met with. but nothing
to obstruct properly built and equipped
steamers.
From Cape Sir Charles to Quebec
is about 1000 miles. and with line of
standard gauge this could be covered
at sixty miles an hour. which means
that passengers could be landed in
lower Canada and In the United States
twenty-four hours earlier than by the
Lusitania to New York today.
This can readily be seen when 1t is
explained that the ocean passage
would be 1,200 miles shorter and that
the 1000 miles will be covered on land
at sixty miles an hour, which is nearly
three times as fast as the Lusitania
and the Mauretania travel"
The Mauretania's best time Is about
thirty land miles an hour.

North Atlantic having its terminals re-
spectively in the mother country and
her colony, 1t is British capital. con-
sequently. which proposes to father
this project, which sounds and looks
30 much like dream.
But Sir Edward, who has never been
accused Of being a dreamer, said that
he had discussed the plan with syn
dicate of British capitalists in New
York. There are in New York at the
present time," he said, "the represen-
tatives Of large and influential Eng.
lish syndicate who have acquired
rights to railway running out of Que
bee and who have a charter to build
railway in the direction Of Cape Sir
Charles and Newfoundland. the width
Of the strait at that point being only
seven miles"
So far as the steamers themselves
are concerned. marine experts say that
the only saving would lie in one days
steaming coal. an economy of $4,000
or $4,000 trip. The provisions saved
on three-day trip would not be count
ed at all.
The cost of running a great steam
ship such as the new White Star liner
Olympic. pictured above. is tremen-
dous. To bring the Olympic from
Southampton to New York and tie her
safely to her pier costs in the neigh
borhood Of 100000. This vast sum
Is made up principally by the pur-
chase Of coal. the wages of the men on
board and the buying Of food for the
passengers. The value of the coal
consumed-about 800 tons per day
was only trife less than the cost Of
the food eaten by the passengers. This
latter item was increased about 81, 900
on the return voyage because the first
and second cabins were filed when
the leviathan departed.
From a chief stewards viewpoint It
is said the Olympic Is bad vessel for
an economizing head Of the eating

ness Of the vessel helps passenger
to eat three good meals per day, and
maybe four. whereas II the chief stew
