For the farms reporting sheep the av-
erage is about 20 ewes, but for the
whole number of farms in the state
the average is about ewes per tarm'
1t is of easy demonstration that the
number of sheep on the farms In west
Virginia might be doubled with proht
TO the farmers as we'll as to the entire
state. In addition to those on FARMS
as many more might be kept on the
rougher mountain lands which are not
classed as farm lands. Sheep are by
nature mountain climbers, and with
proper care and attention they would
proitably utilize much of the area OF
West Virginia which can not be used
in any other way. The surface OF the
rougher lands will always be compar-
atively cheap, and may be purchased
where the valuable timber has been
taken off, at a low price, and all that
is necessary to start sheep ranch Is
a good woven wire fence and a small
bunch of sheep. Instead OF having TO
wait ten years for any return upon
the investment, some income can be
realized the very first year. Profita-
BILE returns may be expected each year.
AS the flock increases from year TO
year, the better and smoother parts
of the land may be cleared and sown
to grass for winter feed or planted in
corn to produce silage for the same
purpose.
Starting with a comparatively small
capital with no fear of hard work and
fondness for the business, profitable
sheep industry may be easily estab-
lished in many of the counties Of this
state, and it may safely be undertaken
by any ambitious young man. The
American sheep growing industry Is
in its infancy, especially as regards
the mutton breeds. With the gradual,
il not alarming, decrease OF meat-pro-
ducing animals that is going on in this
country as shown by the last census,
and with their increasing population,
there must be prosperous future for
the mutton breeds of sheep in state
so well adapted to their natural habits.
New England, the middle and north
west states may stick to and enlarge
the dairy industry, but West Virginia
must appeal to the shepherd because
of it's favorable environment. eli.
mate, SOIL water, grass, hills, noun.
tains, wales and cliffs all proclaim 4
the home of the sheep and the shep-
herds paradise. The pillow is driving
the sheep up into the mountains to
convert the rich heritage growing
there into human food and clothing.
The hoard of worthless dogs that
prowl and Stay must give way to the
on-coming Of the golden hoof and the
lamb-emblem of peace, prosperity
and civilization-must take the place
of the skulking ours and wild animals

MUSIC COURSE
VERY POPULAR
This Department of West Vlr-
qinia University Is Com
ina More To the Front
ORCHESTRA IS AN OPPORTUNITY
Study in These Lines Not Necessarily
for Purpose Of Following PROBES
sion-Many Gain Proficiency
for Pleasure.

One of the schools of the West Vlr'
ginia University that is coming In toi
more and more recognition Is the
School of Music. This is due, not only
to the effective work Of the faculty oil
this school, but to the changing attf
tude of people generally toward music
itself In the past simple tune sci
TO some poem, the tune being repeated
for each verse, was song, and any
instrumental performance that In
duced the auditor to wag his head or
tap his foot on the floor was sufllclent
to satisfy music lovers.
More than ever before Americans
are going in for music as a profession.
and music 10 now taking a consider
able place In American life.
The School of Music opens up posi-
bilities in the University which are
being appreciated By many students
A student Of music Is no more likely
to follow it as a profession than is
student of literature likely to become
a literary light. Music has its educa'
tional value, particularly in It's theo'
retical side, for there Is no better men
tai training than a study Of Harmony
or Counterpart.
While the age is tending toward spe-
cialization, it is worth while to note
the unease Of specialist In a com
pany of people with whom he is
Nd whom he
stands alone in his profession; he may
find sympathizers, but he finds no one
with whom he may meet on common
ground. The School OF Music stands
as factor to meet just such condi'
tons by giving to students, majoring
In the sciences, a breadth and sympa-
thy well worth having. 1t is not the
schools aim to make musicians and
teachers of every pupil; and so 1t is
arranged by the University that credit
for work done in music is allowed to,
ward literary degrees.
Two departments OF the School OF
Music, the Orchestra and the Choral
Society, are worthy Of special mention.
The Orchestra, conducted by Miss
Horne, with It's nucleus in her own
violin department and strengthened
by members of the Cadet Band, affords
opportunity for students, whether mu'
sic or literary, who play instruments,
to become acquainted, by actual play
ing with orchestral works OF the great
masters. The orchestra often appears
in concerts of its own and In conjunc.
ton with the Choral Society.
The other department, the Choral
Society, directed by Director Black, OF
the School of Music, has an equally
broad field. The society is composed
OF students who sing from all depart.
ments. 1t gives three concerts each
year. The fall and spring concerts are
given entirely by the society, the pro.
gram either miscellaneous in character
or some choral work, with soloists.
The change from three terms to two
semester, which goes into effect next
year, will bring with 1t many other
changes. Among these there is one
for which Director Black is bending
his energies. which will bring the
offerings of the School of Music more
within the reach Of the University stu,
dents. This will be announced later.

Jacob Z. Roger, former resident OF
the county, now living in Missouri, this
week delivered by freight to his brothers,
D. z. Roger, near Kearneysville, and S.
w. Rover, near Gaylord, a carload of
live stock. In the shipment were five
Mammoth jacks for breeding purposes.
Some of the jacks are from the famous
W. J. Finley jack farm near Higginsville,
Missouri. One of these shipped here by
MIR. Roger weighs LOO pounds, and is
under three years old. With the growing
interest in mule raising, the farmers of
the county are to be congratulated that
so attractive a lot of jacks should be in
the county for inspection without having
to take long journey to the mule grow
ing sections to see them. Four of the
lot shipped to the county will remain on
the farm Of D. z. Roger in Middleway
district. -AdpocQte.

Especial TO The Times Dispatch.l
Washing ton, January 30.-Pre sid ent
Taft has offered the important post
of amba ssador to France to Myron T..
IJerrick, of Cleveland. O.
Information OF the Presidents de-
sire to name Mr.. Herrick as successor
10 Robert Bacon was obtained here
to-day from excellent authority. 1t
was learned that the President intend
ed when he left Washington on his
trip to Ohio 10 ask Mr.. Herrick to
accept the diplomatic post at Paris.
and. In the event of Mr. IIerrick's de-
clinnS 10 go abroad, TO invite him to

Dispatches from Columbus to-day
indicated that President Taft had au-
thorized the statement that he had not
asked Mr.. Herrick TO take charge of
his precoNcention campaign head

II Is believed here that Mr.. Herrick
has signined his intention TO accept
