URGES CURRENCY REFORM
Secretary Macveagh c~ritloisss Our
Present System.

Washington. Dec. 5.-Strongly urg.
ing radical reform of the "unreasoned
and unscientific" banking and cur
rency system Of the United States,
Franklin Macveagh, secretary OF the
treasury, freely warns congress In his
annual report that the federal gov
ernment, as long as the present
scheme exists. will be exclusively re-
sponsible for the commercial, indus
trial and social disasters which flow
from panics and attack, directly or in
directly. every home in the nation.
The present system promotes and
develops panics and legislation is
urgent, declared Mr.. Macveagh, in
outlining his idea of the necessary
general provisions of an adequate re-
lief measure. Aside from affording
flexible and elastic currency and re-
serves, such a revision, he says, should
bring the banks into organized coop

agency through which they could
work together, free Of political or
trust control.

LATE MAJ. GEN. 0'RElllY
SERVED IN MANY WARS.
He Introduced the Policy of compul-
sorry incubation In the Army.

Major General Robert Maitland
briefly, u. $. A., retired, who died re-
GENTLY in Washington, was surgeon gen.
sral Of the United States army from
1902 until 1909. physician and close
personal friend of the late President
Grover Cleveland and the only medical
officer of the regular army who held
the rank of major general.
tie was the son of the late John
0'Reilly of Philadelphia and was born
in that city Jan. IA, 1916, his ancestorc
having been of distinguished Irish
stock settled in Pennsylvania before
The Revolution. General O'Reilly was
aot u West Point graduate, but received
his education and medical training at
the University of Pennsylvania, where
be was a student toward the end of the
.ivil war. Leaving the university, he
was appointed for civil war service on
ian. Z, 1864, as a medical cadet, and at
the close of the war returned to the
university to complete his studies. In
1867 he entered the regular army as
assistant surgeon and passed through
the various grades until in the fall of
1902 he was appointed surgeon general
Of the army, with the rank Of brigadier
general, by former President Roose-
velt.
1t had been General O'Reilly's pleas
ure in recent years to be able to point
to the fact hat his appointment to this
office was made solely on his record
President Roosevelt never met General
0'Reilly, who at the time Of his APP
pointment was stationed in California,
and insisted that the appointment of a
new surgeon general, who should have
charge of the health Of the army,
should be based only upon the record
Of the appointee.
1t was about that time In 1902 that
General O'Reilly lost through death
by typhoid fever his only son, the late
Philip Maitland 0'Reilly, who had just
been graduated from the Naval
academy, and 1t was because he lost
his son through this malady that Gen
eral O'Reilly decided that he would do
everything in his power to contribute
toward cutting down the death rate
from typhoid fever in the army. 1t
was under his regime that the expert
ments with the ~antityphoid serum
were conducted by the medical corps
of the army. and General O'Reilly in
sisted, when the medical staff reached
the conclusion that the anti-typhoid
serum could be safely and efficaciously
administered, hat the compulsory In
o~culation of soldiers with this serum
be introduced into the army.
After the civil war General O'Reilly
saw hard service as medical officer In
the field with troops in the Indian
campaigns, and during the war with
Spain he was chief surgeon Of the
Fourth army corps. He was a mem
Der of the evacuation commission at
Havana at the end of the Spanish war.
During the strike troubles of 1877
around Baltimore, Pittsburgh and
other railroad centers General O'Reilly,
then a captain and assistant surgeon,
was with the regulars sent to those
places.

With the Figures Submitted by the
Secretary Of the Treasury.
Washington, Dec. 5.-The first big
supply bill OF the present session OF
congress, the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill was report
ed to the house by the appropriations
committee. The measure carries $34,-
SS7, 105.50, a decrease of 1919, OPT IS
from the corresponding bill IN the
previous session. The estimates OF
the secretary of the treasury, $780,
h~l4.a5s.5e, were cut more than a MIL
lion dollars by the committee.
As presented to the full committee
by the subcommittee which framed 1t
the bill included a provision by Rep
resentative Burleson Of Texas making
former presidents members at large
OF the house, with a salary of S17, 500.
But the full committee disapnroved
and 1t was struck out.
The commerce court is not provided
for in the measure. The court asked
for S54.500 for the coming fiscal year,
but the committee would not allow the
item. The last legi- lative, executive
and judicial bill gave the court just
enough money to continue IL to March
4, next year..
President Elect Wilson probably will
set the regular annual allowance of
$4,000 for travelling expenses.
The committee included In the bill
a provision putting the clerks of the
members OF the house on the house
pay rolls and paying them direct. At
present members draw $1,000 a year
for clerks hire and pay their own
clerks. There has been much com.
plant that the full amount does not

of the fact that many Of our fiocks at
the present time have been bred along
mutton lines exclusively. I believe
flock owners can well afford to give
more attention to the wool producing

For the past few years wool has
been commanding a very high and uni
form price. The mutton market is well
established. To insure the greatest
profit from the growing Of sheep. eth
or on the farm or Range, superior

ROOTS ARE fine FOR
PRODUCTION OF MILK
Make Valuable Addition to Ra-
tions During the Cold Win
ter Months.

No matter what some people tell
you. turnips and other roots make
fine milk-producing feed. Turpips
will not affect the flavor of milk II
fed at the right time.
II turnips are fed in large quanti
ties, and two or three hours before
milking, they are likely to give the
milk an unpleasant taste, but II fed
directly after milking no flavor what
ever will be noticed.
A peck of turnips to each animal
per day is sufficient in most cases. A
good plan is to feed directly after hay
In the early morning, and once a day
is often enough.
Roots make very valuable addition
to the winter rations because they
add to the variety of the feed and no
animal on the farm appreciates va
riety more than the dairy COW.

An impression prevails In the north
OF England. says John Wrightson in
London Live Stock Journal. that sheep
never drink. and in this faith / was
brought up. Water was always con-
sidered to be an important accessory
In cattle pastures, but its absence was
never looked upon as an objection to
sheep runs. There is a breed known
as "crag" sheep in Lancashire. which
range over the extensive upland of the
mountain limestone, that are said to
require no water; but this does not
strike a Northumbrian as very re-
markable as II fits in with his precon-
ceived notions.
Mr.. Primrose Mcconnell supports
this view when he writes that Sin his
boyhood he had herded sheep and
cows together in hot summer weather.
and been struck by the cows constantly
repairing to the water, while the sheep
never went near 1t, and were never
seen to drink at all, although they had
access to n running stream close at
hand" He adds that a northern shep-
herd would ridicule the idea Of
sheep ever drinking unless it was In
bad health. This opinion / can en-
dorse with slight modification. as my
idea in the north of England was that
sheep were practically Independent OF
water
That this is also true to certain
extent in the south is shown by the
practice of many good shepherds. who
do not allow their ewes water during
the period of CESSATION. There are
circumstances in which this rule is
not adhered to. but they constitute ex-
ceptions which may be said to prove
the rule
To speak generally, 1t is bad sign
when a eve drinks frequently. and
indicates unsoundness in some form.
The truth seems to be that as long as
herbage is succulent, or is moistened
with dew. or from rain from time to
time, sheep do not require water
When ewes are fed on hay they
should have water: and when they re-
ceive cake and hay together, and are
not allowed roots, 1t is evident that
the moisture OF the body must be kept
on. On the other hand, II they have
access to roots they do not require wa
ter, and this is one Of the best rea-
sons for growing roots on high and
dry situations.
Again, the need of ewes which have
to support lambs at foot are different
to either dry sheep or pregnant ewes.
They are called upon to supply a
larger quantity of water in their milk,
and they must be supplied either d.
rectly or through succulent food in or
der to do so.

The latter denotes the ribbed weaves
