ATTENTION NEEDED By EWES
Ample Supply Of Dry Fodder ls One
Of First Essentials-Glve Atten-

IL is well to see that the eve flock

we'll got hay. Ewes should never. UNI
der any circumstances, be allowed 70
have roots alone nor should they be
fed on roots and grain, or grain and
cake.
Those who feed this and omit the
hay are spending money in waste. A
judicious combination OF all these
would form the ideal food and give
the best results alike to the dam and
it's offspring. The lamb must not be
neglected.
Provision must always be made
too that dry lairage can be secured
with good shelter from the wet and
wind and separate pen be provided
in which specially prepared food suit
able to the palate of the young lamb
should be placed, care being taken
that only a small quantity at a time
should be placed in the trough and
that eny left over should be removed
before a fresh lot is given.
In the focks where there is any
signs of lameness in the ewes atten-
ton should be at once given. No
matter how slight, the ailment should
be Immediately removed from the
flock and not allowed to run with
them again until a cure has been eff
fected.
Lameness among the ewes means
lameness among the lambs and there
is probably no greater source of loss
among Young lambs than this.

American people are approaching
more ard more the food value OF milk
and its products and are, therefore,
demanding larger supplies. 1t Is esti-
mated that one and one-half quarts OF
milk are equivalent to one pound OF
loin steak in protein and fuel value
A pound OF loin steak costs twenty
five cents. whereas the cost of one and
one-halr quarts of milk is twelve ara
one-half cents when milk sells at eight
cents per quart. IL is. therefore, SHOWN
in this case that animal food nutrients
can be supplied in milk at fifty per

EDITOR INDEPENDENT:
There are nearly fifty thousand Jews
in Baltimore, and they come from all
parts of Europe, but mostly from Rus
sia, and one hears their miserable jar
gon, half German, half Hebrew, at
every turn always talking ''peez-
nees.' The strange, twisted alphabet
in which Moses gave the Pentateuch
to man, and in which the tables Of
| the law were Written on Mount Sinai,
greet us at every turn in the Jewish
streets, but it is no message of hope
| and Inspiration that it brings us here.
The signs in Hebrew tell us Of good
things to eat, or wear. and Of the lat
Test theater piece, or advertise other
sorts Of business. The Jews are as a
rule harmless, and many Of them are
millionaires. In fact, this once de-
spised race has the wholesale trade
Of Baltimore in its grip. Some Of the
Jews are, fine, educated people, and

After the heavy rains of last
week and the wintry weather of
Sunday the week Tuesday started
off in real Spring. The waters
are slowly subsiding at Memphis
and Cairo, owing to the breaks
in the leyees which gave relief.
The breaking Of levees seems to
be the only salvation of the over
flowed districts. Better let the
overflow be natural. When will
the people learn that the only
good that comes from the levees
is the enriching of grafters and
a lot Of high-salaried civil engin-
eers and mud contractors? Con-
gressmen know about as much
about controlling the rivers as a

That may sound like goose-talk to
those who have never studied foreign
languages, but to the linguist it is
quite ineligible, even though he may
never have seen it before, and when
pronounced rightly it is music itself.
Wonderful things are in store for
those who live a little longer: the
truths of nature will be revealed, and
mankind will come together like a
great big family, to pay tribute to
the talent and wealth of our great
country as never before. We will
have our ups and downs of good and
bad times for awhile, but this nation
is bound to come on top and stay
there.
As.long as rainbows deck the sky
Our banner shall triumphant fly
And through the ages, more and

Command respect from every shore.

The narrowing down of space by
the rapid ships, the aeroplanes, and
Etelegraphs, and especially the wireless
system has made the world much
smaller, and set people to devising a
language which may be understood of
all nations. Great hopes have been
entertained of Esperanto, the inven-
/ tion Of Russian Jew named Zamen-
hor, and already it is spoken by half
a million Of people, and a number Of
classes in it have been formed at
Washington. 1t is not really a new
language, but a patchwork of many
languages, with sort of grammar Of
its own. Representatives Of fifty ma
/ tions met at, Washington couple of
years ago, and all understood each
lother, or made out they did, none Of
them using English or their own
tongue. But great linguist who
heard them said The language was a
failure, and never would go far. AS
a matter Of fact, their expression for
How do you do" sounded so badly to
| American ears that it was deemed in
| decent, and they had to substitute an
awkward phrase which meant literally
How Is your healthy?" One sen.
tence of Esperanto will be sufficient
! to show its awkwardness. "Miuj

BURNING AWNING THROWS
CITY HALL INTO PANIC.

For nearly half hour shortly be-
fore noon today the City Hall was in
panic and visitors were brushed
aside in the corridors by clerks and
officials running helter-skelter with
fire extinguishers, lines of hose, pals
OF water and other implements of
war. All this excitement was brought
about by an awning in the office of
City Treasurer Elmer Day taking fire.
After the fire had been put out, the
work of a couple of minutes, Mr..
Days Office looked as though a cy-
clone had struck it. After the debris
had been cleared away. 1t was found
that more damage had been caused
by the indiscriminate Suse of the
water and chemical than by the fire
itself. 1t was stated that a carelessly
thrown cigarette from an upper floor
had started the blaze.
Deputy Fire Chief M. P. A. Nc
Dermitt, passing through the alley in
the rear of the City Hall, noticed the
smoke and sighted the blaze in a
moment.
In his eagerness he grabbed the
awning uprights and now has a badly
burned right hand for his pains.
