we attempt to discriminate between
the breeds, the friends OF each begin
to give us trouble. But by the pro.
cess Of elimination we will narrow tho
whole bunch down to three breeds, and
let the further battle Of the breeds
taRe care OF itself.
The Southdown, Hampshire anal
Shropshire breeds stand out as solid
representatives Of the medium WOOL !
mutton breeds. and the West Virginia
shepherd can not greatly err in CHOPS
Ing any one OF them. These breeds
are all highly developed us to good
mutton form. The Hampshires arot
probably the hardest Of these three
breeds and will stand keeping mi
larger fiocks than either Of the others
but they produce lighter fleece thah|
the Shropshires. The shropshires are(
also considered somewhat more pro
life. The Southdown is tho most per
fectly developed type Of a muttonE
sheep, II indeed It is not the most per
feet type of meat producing animal
OF any kind. 1t is close to the Hamr.
shire in hardness. The most scrloua
objections to the Southdown are it,s
lack OF size and It's light fleece, anal
yet with its other good qualities It is|
diihcult 10 put It In second place.
Even when we have narrowed tho
choice down to these three breeds
there Is still room for fine dlscrimina,
ton In the final selection. Any ono oil
these breeds serves splendidly forI
breeding up flock of native or com,
moi sheep. The important fact Is
West Virginia needs more sheep md
much depends upon the intelligence
of the man behind the sheep. May tho

TLLSON,S NLNE THOUSAND.

Massachusetts dispoSes of Governor
Woodrow Wilson's candidacy. Not much
remains of the notion that he had strong
ly impressed the pubic imagination and
developed great popular strength, AFTER
the repeated failure Of states 10 respond
to the energetic campaign in his behalf
A man whom Champ Clark beats easily
cannot be said TO have taken hold
upon the people And Clark beats him
in states like Massachusetts, Illinois
and Nebraska, where preference pri-
maries have been held. It is not sulli-
cient explanation to say that the Speak
or has had the Democratic machine with
him. If DR.. Wilson had real popular
strength it would not be possible for the
machine 10 heat him with weak eau
didate like Champ Clark.
In Massachusetts Governor Wilson
was beaten because in the entire COM
monwealth only 9.2OG Democrats took
enough interest in his candidacy TO 90
to the polls and vote for him. The Dem
ocratic machine succeeded In marshal
ling only 1898 voters in behalf Of
Clark. The rest Of the Democratic
party In the state was Indifferent or
took part in the more interesting Re
publican contest. That apathy meas
ures the failure of Or. Wilson. He was
beaten by public Indifference to his per
sonality, his achievements, his record"
or whatever il was that was counted
upon few months ago to make him the
most formidable candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination. In all Of MaSsachu-
sets he had succeeded in making an
impression on only about nine thousand
Democratic voters.
And yet this was the man whom the
friends Of all the other candidates were
united in trying To beat only n few
months ago. As soon as his opponents
gave up searching their letter files and
lighting him in way that suggested
fear Of him his strength went to pieces
Since he began to seek the Presidency
his speech has lacked It's pungency and
force and his actions have not had the
quality that once attracted favorable
attention \ couple Of years ago he said
things and did things that Interested
and even delighted the country. He mas
done nothing since. He has not kept uu
TO the first sample. The public has
made up its mind that It oyerrated his
courage and sincerity. Even If Colonel
George Harvey had gone on supporting
him in "Harpers Weekly" he could
hardly have been weaker than he is TO.
