summer care of the flock is easy
II you have plenty of grass, water and
shade. always have good pastures,
being either legumes or grasses. Per
sonally, | prefer blue grass slightly
mixed with white clover, as legumes
are apt to get the ewes too fat be-
fore breeding time. Z
| never allow the flock to stay
longer than three weeks in one past
ure without changing to new quar-
ters. By these frequent changes /
lessen the danger Of infection by par
asites, which is apt to come from too
close grazing Of pastures.
A frequent change also gives the
flock chance to select the things
most palatable to them.
My sheep always have access to
shade and plenty of fresh water. I
am of the opinion that standing water
Is always more or less infected with
dangerous parasites.
My only means of protection against
the gadfly is to pillow a few burrows
where the sheep stand IN the shade.
A close watch must be kept through
out the summer to keep all tags
sheared off and the worms kept out
of the wool, caused by wet tags. /
also note the general health so that
parasites will not get the start of me-
Salt Is kept In the pasture all the
time. I do not feed salt alone, but
a mixture which have used and
found very helpful in combating para
sites, especially stomach worms
The formula is: Salt, one bushel;
air-slaked lime. one peck; sulphur, one
gallon; pulverized resin, two quarts;
copperas, one pound. Thoroughly pull
verize and mix. Keep in dry place
before sheep constantly.
Another good way to combat stom-
ach worms is to increase the woody
or fibrous content OF the stomach,
which can easily be done by turning
the flock into cornfield so that The
sheep will have the greater portion
of their ration consisting of corn
blades. I have found this treatment
very efficient.

CORN CLUBS in
NORTHERN STATES
Success of Movement In South
Encourages Government
Officials - Increase
IN Yield


sOwing to the success of the boys
corn clubs in the south, the depart
ment of agriculture has been asked to
carry this line of work farther, and
it is doing SO in organizing boys POI
tato clubs in the north, beginning with
New England. This work has been
placed in charge Of w. J. Spillman of
the office Of farm management. The
first seasons work will commence this
summer. The boys will be given a
measured acre each. and will be fur
nished with instructions from the de-
partment as to growing and cultivat-
ing the crop.
What the result will be is, of course,
still Impossible to foresee, but, judg-
ing from the success OF the corn club
movement, 1t is likely to be of value.
This corn experiment was the con-
ception@o Of the late Dr. s. A. Knapp.
In the three years of work while he
was alive the number of boys in the
corn clubs increased to $4,000.
The average corn crop of the United
States is about 25 bushels to the acre,

JAPANESE CITIES AS MODELS
lecturer Declares They Are Ahead Of.
Other Nations In Municipal

That western ideas Of civilization
have permeated Japan to such an ex-

OF some of the recognized leading ma
tions of the world was the declara-
ton made by Harvey N. Shepard Of
Boston, former attorney general Of
Massachusetts, in an address ON Jap
anese Municipal Governments" to the
members of the Philadelphia City
club Mr.. Shepard also declared that
the Japanese people were far ahead
OF Americans in solving municipal af-
fairs.
In no other countries on the face
OF the EARTH" he said, ARE the mu-
nicipal governments closer to the will
OF the people than they are in the
F1owery Kingdom, and graft and ex-
travagances such as often charged
against the officials of cities and
towns in our own country are prac.
tically unknown. While the munich

their administration corresponds
greatly to that of the municipalities of
those two European countries. All
over Japan there is marked progress
In municipal affairs. Public works are
being forwarded and they are con-
structfng good roads and developing
their harbors."
Mr.. Shepard spent many years in
Japan and. studied closely the phases
Of life In that empire. "As skilled
workmen." he said, "the Japanese are
rapidly becoming proficient and are
equal to the skilled workmen Of our
own country. There is no child labor
in the factories, and because of this
wages have increased perceptibly.
While modern and ancient civiliza-
tons are contrasted sharply with each
other In some parts of the Japanese
Islands, they are rather modern

other conyeniences such as we In

SEES ONLY THE Big CITIES
Brooklyn Minister Would Have Them
Beautified as the centers OF
Our Civilization.

DR.. Hills of Brooklyn, while hold
ing pronounced views on the dis
graceful condition at present prevail.
ing in many American cities, has
very optimistic views of the future.
There Is a new spirit abroad in the
nations of the earth" he said. "a
spirit of revolt against the ugliness Of
large towns Is now sweeping over the
Old World and the New. This revolt
has taken on the majesty of destroy
ing wave. London and Paris, Berlin
and Vienna are tired of the old ugli-
ness.
In Germany alone have found
this summer twenty volumes fresh
from the press, with the ink scarcely
dry on the pages. on the new science
OF town planning and city building.
In our own country 1870 cities are
now organized and formally commit
ted to a commission for laying out
the lines of growth for twenty years
to come
"All of our cities of the first class
having over 100000 population, most
of our cities Of the second class, with
100000 population to 100000, and
more than 100 cities of the third class
have their organized municipal COM
mission on city building.
The time was when our civilization
was largely rooted in the country, in
the farm and the rural village, while
the city was only a ganglion and
nerve center rather than the brain.
Now every year the pull Of the
metropolis upon the heartstrings Of
boys and girls in rural districts is
stronger pull. The city Is the center
of business, with manufacturing and
financial life. The city is the home
of music, art and eloquence. The
city is home of the college, the libra
~, professional schools, and for all
these reasons 1t Is quite certain that
as the city goes SO will go the re-

ANXIETY CAUSED BY
 NICARAGUAN AFFAIR
GUNBoAT IS ORDERED TO BLUE. FIELDS ON ACCOUNT OF
 ALARMING REPORTS.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Evidence of the growing anxiety of the admins tration in regard to the revolution in Nicaragua was shown today when or ders were issued to the gunboat Ia coma at Guantanamo, Cuba, to pro- ceed forthwith to Bluefelds. She is due to arrive there Monday and will try to communicate with Managua, so Minister Weitzel may keep the state department informed of develop ments.
 The gunboat Annapolis, on the west coast, has been getting only fragmen- tary adyices from Managua Thesa have been sufficiently alarming to warrant sending another warship.
 Paralysis of business. which ad ministration officials here ascribe to the failure of the American senate to approve the pending treaty to re- habilitate the finances of Nicaragua are declared to be powerful factors in strengthening the revolt against President Diaz Another threatening element is the nasty departure from Costa Rica and other nearby repub- lies for Nicaragua of partisans of the old discreditei Zelaya government who seen in the uprising an o3portun- ity to regain power and influence.

 Asserting that he could show that Darrow did tell Harrington last Sep tember that he had $10.000 in cur rency for the purpose of reaching jurors in the McNamara case, Assist ant District Attorney Ford asked DarPow if he had not admitted tC Harrington on Feb. 27 last in loca hotel that he did make the statement and had asked Harrington not to tel of it to the grand jury.
 The conversation in question was one of those said to have been heard by stenographers through tele- phonic device, and the defense raised the contention that the question could not be asked Darrow. because as a part of the states main evidence, 1t could not now be introduced in rebut. tai of Darrow's testimony
 Nearly the entire afternoon session was consumed with argument Al adjournment time Judge Hutton an nounced he would take the subject under adyisement until tomorrow morning.

Louisiana Proaresslves.

New Orleans. Aug. 2.-With a sprlnkling of former democrats pres ent and the negro conspicuous by his absence, the state convention of the Louisiana progressive party met here today and elected thirty delegates to the Chicago convention, instructed to vote as a unit for the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt for president. Each delegate will have one-third vote il the national convention.
 The convention adopted resolu- tion favoring the maintenance of the protective tariff system. with only such changes as will give protection to American industries without fos- tering monopolies."
 A motion was made to present to the Chicago convention as vice pres idential candidate the name of John M Parker of New Orleans, for years leader in the reform ranks of the democratic party in this state. MT Parker, who is a delegate to the na- tional progressive convention, is a strong personal friend of Colone Roosevelt At the request of MT Parker's friends, the motion was withdrawn.
 Louis P Bryant, surveyor of the port of New Orleans, created a mild sensation when the intimated that the Washington administration, be cause of his affilation with the new party, was preparing to chop off his official head. Mir. Bryant said thai after he had made hotel reservations at Chicago he was advised that spe- cial agents had been ordered to New Orleans to make certain investiga tions in the custom house.
 "The surveyor of the port has ths same right under the laws to express his opinions, politically and other wise, as has the collector of tn, port declared Mir Bryant. and i the surveyor is to be visited witl punishment because of his American manhood. the people will have a righ 10 inquire into the fate of other off cials whose political activity happens to suit the administration"
 There were several expressions favoring the elimination of the negro from participation in the progressive party in the south.
