Lesson Of This Winter

The exceptionally cold Weather Of
this winter in western Texas a. near
by states affords a valuable Ises0n.
which should not be overlooked, md
should demonstrate the extremely ha--
ardOus effect that may follow b
crOwding the polar limits too closely.
1t is reported that in California from
S20,0O0,000 to $50 OOO, 600 of fruit Tor
anges and lemOns) have been lost to
that state on account Of a lowering Of
a few degrees of frost below the nor
nal year. It viii probably be found
that the damage TO trees. even if they
are not entirely killed viii be just as
serious. I hope this is not the case
but II may be so. 1t only goes to show
that If perfectly safe crop can be
produced with about the same profit it
would be wise to do so.

Salonlca IS, moreover, a great railroad

with this great moral difference, that
Salonica is additionally a Greek city

Whether Greece or Bulgaria unit

Occasionally merchant decides that
he ought to "save part of his adj
vertising expense, so he drops his adj
vertising for time, OF. reduces his
accustomed space. If he were advised
that he could also save money by
closing his store doors for a few DAYS
or weeks, or through diseharging his
clerical force, or by moving into quar-
tiers half as large, he would scott such
advice. Yet such a course would be
exactly on par, as a business policy,
with that of dropping out of the
procession as an advertiser. The mer-
chant who has the courage to in
crease his advertising when the
pinch . of poor business comes is the
merchant who deserves to win-and
who does win! He avoids the road
to littleness

BLUE SKY LAWS.

Only two years ago Kansas passed
the original 'blue sky law a meas
ure designated to regulate the sale of
securities and especially to prevent
the sale of fraudulent securities
Since then similar measures have
been introduced in the legislatures
OF more than thirty states, and in
eleven the bills have been enacted
into law in the last authorizations.
Arkansas, Idaho, Maine, Missouri.
Montana, North Dakota, Oregon.
South Dakota, West Virginia and
Vermont. In three other states -
Iowa, Michigan and Colorado - the
legislators have passed the bills, but
at the latest reports the governors
had not signed them. In twelve other
states the bills are still pending.
This is the summary of the blue
sky law situation given in a bulletin
issued by the Investment Bankers
association, which has had com
mittee closlely watching this legisIa-
ton for the last year. In most states
the laws have been frankly in imita-
ton of the Kansas law, though in
most instances they have been mod
flied and the most stringent features
of the original law eliminated. In
fact, the bank commissioner of Kan
sas itself has been trying to clip
some of the sharpest claws of the
law in that state In no state have
the bankers who were doing a Iegiti-
mate business opposed such legisla-
ton as would protect investors from
fake and unsafe securities. On the
contrary, they have favored such
legislation, since it was manifestIv in
their own interests. But, according
to the Boston Herald, the trouble
has been that many legislatures drew
bills that were both unfair to honest
bankers and unavoidable when put in
operation Several of the states that
have passed the laws will undoubt-
edly have to modify them, as in
Kansas itself. But since the unin-
formed public is prone to fool itself,
in the matter of fraudulent securities,
proper blue sky laws are as desirable
as pure food laws; and the real need
of some Legislation of the kind was
shown by the zeal with which the
Kansas example was followed.

We notice lot Of newspaper frotb
regarding the appointment Of Frank
+. Barber to be municipal Judge in
Brattlehoro. All the trouble arises ov-
er the fact that in order to make Bar
Der Judge Governor Fletcher had to
neglect to appoint another candidate.
1t IS said that former Judge Daley had
the stronger local endorsement and
therefore should have had the appoint
ment, and Governor Fletcher is charg-
ed with using the appointment to pay
political obligation. Granting this
to be true, no new record Is establish

FATTEN SHEEP FOR MARKET
Gull Animals Can Be Prepared Ear
ller In Season by Turning Them
Into Rape as Pasture.

All old and such young ewes as the
owner does not desire to keep should
be culled out to fatten a short time
before the ram Is turned in with the
breeding ewes. The Gull sheep can be
fattened earlier in the season by turn
ing them into a rape field as pasture,
but il you put off too late special
food is required. In pure-bred f1ocks
the ewes are often kept until they die
Of old age, as their lambs are worth
more than they are. but in a graded
flock 1t does not pay to keep ewes that
do not have sound mouths An old
eve is likely to prove unsatisfactory.
In selecting rams the aim should be
to select those that are strong In the
points in which the ewes are weak.
For instance, ewes that have an open
coat and are narrow breasted should
be bred to rams that are strong on
those points. BY this method a very
uniform flock can be established in
n very few years. 1t is a good idea to
turn the ram with the ewes in the
evening after he has been fed and
take him ont in the morning before
being fed. A ram should be we'll fed.
Bran, oats, roots of vegetables, make
good ration with clover as rough
age.

CARING FOR BREEDING EWES
greatest Certainty Of Impregnation Is
Attained When Animal Is In
creasing in Flesh.

The relation between the nature or
he lamb crop and the management OF
he ewes at the time of mating is
loser than is usually supposed. says
a sheep grower In the Iowa Home
stead. when the ewes are overfat at
such time. or when they are on pas
ures dry and dead. impregnation is
conditions prevail. When the ewes
are falling In flesh at such time II
becomes even less certain.
The greatest certainty in breeding
IS attained when the ewes are increas-
Ing in flesh. The renovating infiu-
ence which at such time comes to the
system extends TO the generative or
sans. and this adds not only to the
certainty Of conception. but It tends
% hasten the time of breeding.
When the lambs are weaned the
ewes are usually thin In flesh. The
better their milking properties the
thinner they are likely to be. because
of the amount OF daily ration that has
been converted into milk. IL the ewes
are then put upon succulent pastures
hey at once begin to regain the flesh
that has been lost. II Is when they
are thus building up the system that
the breeding season comes on. The
relation between the quickness or
slowness with which II comes is de-
pendent on the character Of the food
The richer 1t is in proper elements Of
nutrition the sooner will the ewes
come In heat.
Usually the uncertainty In breeding
is greater with ewes one year old that
have never produced lambs than with
those that are older. This is owing to
liable TO carry much flesh, especially
II they have been fed on nourishins
pastures all through the season. The
remedy In this case would be to con-
fine them to pastures succulent and .
little lacking In quantity II such could
be found as. for instance, young win
ter rye. where the short growth would
force them to do much travelling.
The aim should be to have the ewes
In good condition at the time for mat
Ing. Where they are not they do not
produce as many lambs. nor is II like
ly that the lambs will be so strong
The ewes require more food also to
carry them properly through the win
ter. II is an easy matter to lay flesh
on a eve before she Is pregnant than
subsequently. when part of the food
Is used In sustaining the fetus.

LEARNING TEXTURE OF SOILS
One May Learn How Much Water
Different Kinds OF Soil VIII Hold
by Simple Test.

IL anyone wishes to prove to him
self how much more water some soils
will hold than others, let him take
three tomato cans of the same size.
With a nail punch half dozen holes
I'm the bottom of each. Then fill all
three cans. one with sand, one with
still clay and the other with a rich
loan soil well filled with humus.
II such soil as the last cannot be
had. then fill the can with the dark,
rich top soil from the woods lot, after
scraping away the leaves and other
of them down solid and pir IN all they
will hold. Put these cans of soil in
some place where they will dry out
thoroughly. A good place is in the
kitchen behind the stove.
When they are all well dried, pour
half pint of water slowly over the
top OF each can of soil Repeat this,
putting the same amount of water on
each soil, until the water begins to
trickle from the holes in the bottom OF
the cans.
The water will begin to run from
the can containing sand first, and II
this can be placed so that the water
can be caught and measured it can
be tod how much less water this sand
will hold than the clay soil. and by
the same method It may be seen how
much more water the soil full of hui
mus will hold than even a heavy clay
soil devoid of humus.

Drainage Of Wet Lands.

For management OF wet lands the
usual advice is to tile drain them, but
an intelligent German farmer now
living in this country suggests that 1t
sometimes pays better to make artifi-
ciGl ponds. In Germany. he says. an
acre of fsh ponds is often reck-
cned worth more than an acre of
wheat.
The dams can be built with farm la
bor at small expense. and the ponds
add considerably to the beauty Of the
scenery. Very often, also, the ponds
can be used TO some extent for irri-
cation, and irrigation will work Won
ders.
