CE MENT
EXHIBIT At
Utility and Diversity Of this
Building Material Shown
and Explained. ..

Many fair visitors we'll remember
the model farm. exhibit which was
shown here a year ago by the Uni
versal Portland Cement company.
This. company is showing another
very interesting exhibit this year. 1t
is located in the west wing of the
main building. Many enlarged pic
lures showing concrete work on the
farm are to be seen. A lecture. is
delivered and a model water trough
is in evidence.
Probably from sixty to s~eventy-five
per cent of the farmers are using ce-
ment In n form or another and it
may be said that no farmer who has
used this building material would be
satisfied with any other kind.
The people of Kane county, Illinois,
have been quick to realize the adj
vantages of cement. They have quilt
over ninety concrete silos' there.
here are many reasons why con
crete construction is desirable. 1t is
sanitary, f1%reproof. waterproof. of
practically unlimited life, and best of
all, 1t needs no repairs. Compare it
with wood construction.
One of the best uses for cement is
in road work-pavement. Wayne
county, Michigan. has made great
progress in this form of construction.
The county road commissioners there
were much dissatisfied with their
poor. heavy country roads. They
sought a solution of the problem and
began experiments and tests of diff
ferent permanent roads. Some were
left out by reason of their high cost
and after due consideration concrete
roads were taken as the standard. So
thirty-three miles of this type OF
pavement have been built in the last
three years and forty miles are under
construction this summer. concrete
being used for both base and wearing
surface.
The farmers in the vicinity are
happy over their permanent roads as
1t brings them into close touch with
the cities of Ann Arbor and Detroit
an denables a much larger load to be
hauled with one team of two horses
where formerly four horses and even
six were used.
These roads have made a name for
this county and are a monument to
the commissioners who built them,
The booth Of this cement company
is a busy place and will be found
crowded most of the time with con-
tractors. Citizens who are anxious to
learn something Of a growing indus
try and farmers who are contemplat-
ing building of cement.
The company's representatives in
charge of the exhibit: invite questions
and discussion and gave away many
free instructive books which are
really text books and specifications.

Bismarck, Is authority for the state

silos will have been built at Grafton
and vicinity.

PURE ELECTION
LAW SUSTAINED
Election Bribery Cases Will be
Taken Up by Judge Skeen
on August 10Th.

Bristol, Tenn.-Va., June 20.-In
his efforts to punish violators of the
Virginia election laws in more than
300 bribery cases, now pending in the
circuit court of Lee county Judge
Skeen is upheld by The supreme court
OF the state. The appellate court, in an
opinion handed down at Wythville
this week, sustains the Barksdale pure
election law to the extent of making
it binding upon witness 10 tell who
he may have bribed in an election, at
the same time holding the witness
immune. 1t was upon this point that
depended largely the successful out
ing in the court at Jonesvillc, in which
men are under indictment for having
received brides.
The test of the election statute was
made in the case of >. Il. Flannary
against the commonwealth. Flannary
when placed upon the witness stand
TO give Information as to whether or
not he purchased the vote of Dock
Burchett for j. d. Eads, Republican
candidate for county clerk, and for
other candidates, having paid $40 for
the consideration, declined to give
evidence. Judge Skeen thereupon
fined him $25, and the case was then
carried TO the court of appeals to test
the validity of the statute on that
point. The higher court concluded
That "by the terms of the statute the
immunity afforded is co-extensive with
the constitutional privilege of silence,
from which it follows that the judg-
ment of the circuit court must be

SOME HISTORY OF THE
RAMBOUILLET SHEEP
Forkvi Miss. lime ~.

RAMBOUILLET SHEEP
Forkville, Miss, June 20.
EDITOR PLAIN TALK,
Newport, Tenn.
AS | have received many letters
from your readers asking me to give
them correct description of the
Rambouiliet Sheep through your pa
per | will, with your consent, try TO
do so. A complete history Of these
sheep, from their origin at the govern,
ment experimental farm at Ramboui-
let, France, in 1885 to the present date,
fis published in Vol. of the American
Ra'abopillel Record.
Rambouilet sheep have large frame,
large strong bones, well rounded and
symmetrical bodies, short legs, bright
pink skin, broad head, bright eyes,
broad back and chest, are indispen-
sable. These sheep have long been
noted as mutton sheep, their fine,
juicy flesh having no superior. They
are noted for their early breeding and
quick feeding properties, being strong,
vigorous and healthy. Their Impress
i've power is very great, and the rams
are not liable to constitutional break
down IN service. The ewes will take
the ram during any month in the year
and are noted as good mothers-heavy
mixers. These sheep will bear herd
ing in large focks and their great
hardness permits them to stand all
kinds of weather without housing
Their fullness Of carcass, brightness of
look, length Of body, vigor of carriage
and great strength make them eXceN
lent reproducers and quick, healthy
breeders on the range.
Rambouillet wool is OF the finest
quality and is very compact. Fully
matured rams, when fat, weigh from
l75 TO $50 pounds, and shear from Is
I to 30 pounds CT fine wool.
One condition of the sheep Industry
which conduces to the popularity of
the Rambouillet is the fact that so
large per cent of sheep in this coun-
try are run under range conditions in
large bands. When we remember that
these sheep never have shelter until
they enter the car for market, or the
feed lot; that they must live upon
comparatively short feed and be han
died in bands Of from $500 to 3, 800
each, we see that no other breed finds
itself so completely adapted to all
these conditions as the Rambouil!et
They grow heavy fleece of fine wool
and when market time comes have q
larger and better carcass than any
other range sheep. The price of wool
is an important item in the revenue OF
sheep owner, and four or five pounds
per head on 1000. or more means 8
considerable amount of money. Other
breeds may be better for some special
purpose or under some particular locaI
conditions, but for all conditions and
the general sheep owner there is nc
breed today that equals the Rambouil
let. Some people may tell you the
