A neighbor of mine has q way or

be about as inexpensive and as profit
able as any. though some of your
sheep experts may criticise 1t, says q
writer in the National Stockman.

stack for them to run TO at will. He
feeds little grain In the latter part
OF the winter, corn and oats mixed.
and he estimates the quantity at
about half bushel of the mixture for
each eve. The ewes lamb with early
grass and the lambs are sold In July
without any feed. He averages one
lamb per eve and, OF course, the
price depends on the market. The
ewes have been shearng about 81
worth of wool In recent years and the
lambs selling for SO to 81 apiece.

me winters are not too severe and
good bluegrass pastures can be had.
Inc nne-wool eve is an excellent

nardy and produces good fleece, but
sometimes 1t is hard to buy the right
kind for this work.

soft incandescent lights artistically
arranged behind banks of flowers
were filled with people. In the ali

In room where each person is trying
to speak at the same time. On all
sides one heard fragments of inept
conversation.

PEOPLE now arrived in quick success

room soon presented an animated
scene. The women in their smart
gowns and the men In their black
coats made pleasing picture.

deep voice.
The hostess turned to greet an ell

Richard Brewster was a fine ex-

After serving with honor for soma
years on the bench he retired into
private practice, and thereafter his
name became one to conjure with in
the law courts. BY sheer power of
his matchless oratory and unanswer-
able logic he won case after case for
bis clients and 1t is a tribute to his
name to record the plain fact that in
all his career he never championed a
cause OF which he need be ashamed.
