at a clump of trees where the trouble
some sharp shooters were hiding.
His company didn't know what to
do. They had orders to stay in the
trenches, and they didn't like the
idea of having their captain killed.
"They called to Watson, but he
paid no heed, and kept on walking

A Sustaining Dict.

These are the eneryating DAYS,
when, as somebody has said men
drop by the sunstroke, rs II the
day of fire had dawned. They are
fraught with 6erger to people whose
systems are POORLY sustained; and
this leads us to say, IN the interest
of the less robust Of our readers,
that the full effect Of Hoods sar-
saparilla is such as to suggest the
propriety of calling this medicine
something besides a blood purifier
and tonic-say, sustaining diet. 1t
makes 1t much easier to bear the
heat, assures refreshing sleep, and
will without any doubt avert much
sickness at this time Of year.

WILL RAISE FURS N KANSAS
CRAWFORD COUNTY MAN TO tx
PERTINENT WITH SHEEP.
karakuIe Rams Brought From Asia
May Become important
Industry.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, July ga
sheep farm, which will be the first OF
its kind in this part Of the country,
which will produce a new hybrid
animal, by crossing American ewes
with Karakule rams brought from
Central Asia, has just been started on
the L. M. Crawford ranch In this
county.
The Karakule sheep, which are ma
tive of Asia, are valuable for the ex'
cellent fur they produce which Is here
called Persian lamb and Astrakhan
fur, and the object in crossing the
Karakules with native sheep Ii to
produce a hybrid which will thrive In
this country and at the same time
yield the valuable fur of the Asiatic
variety.
The new hybrid Is the result OF ex'
periments of d. c. C. Young who, for
several years, has carried on expert
ments on his ranch at III Paso, Texas
and in connection with the govern
ment experimental station.
In order to obtain the first Karakule
rams Doctor Young made a trip tc
Tibet and 1t was only after much dim
Guilty and expense that several rami
we're obtained and brought to thiI
country where the first hybrid wal
produced. 1t is the belief of both DR.
Young and Mr.. Crawford, on whose
ranch here the new enterprise will b
tried out, that the hybrid sheep ma!
be raised successfully on western
ranches in this country and II west
ern ranchmeh can raise these sheep i
will doubtless become an importan
industry.
In the shipments which have al
ready been received on the Crawford
ranch are "a Karakule rams, 10 o.
which were brought from Asia.
