Some Advantages II Possesses Over

The question often arises rs to which

breeder and feeder Of sheep-a big,
heavy sheep or small but better
quality one. says the Rural New York.
er There is great tendency among
farmers nowadays In all districtsw here
SOIL and climate are suitable to cult

Ing that when the two-year-olds come
into the market the bigger and heavier
ones realize more than smaller ones.
That is quite true. and there Is
good deal to be said on the side of a
big sheep, but when all the pros and
cons are carefully taken into consider
alton 1t Is great question If smaller
better quality sheep will not prove far
more profitable to the breeder in the
long run. Let us. for instance. take
the Oxford and Hampshire cross as
type of big sheep. it being a favorite
cross and the Shropshire as an exam
pie of a smaller and. it may be said
with all due respect to the beforemen-
toned cross. better quality sheep.
1t is well known that big sheep are
big consumers and consequently can
not be SO thick ON the land as small
sheep can. and. for instance. where 100

New Departure.

After this, however, if it is a phys
ical defect which has led a man into
New York prison he is expected to
come out a good citizen.
One of the first things the examining
physicians will do is to test the con-
vict's lungs for tuberculosis symptoms,
then for malarial symptoms and for
drinking habits. If he has any Of
these he will be given a prescribed
cure.
Dr. Alexander Lampert of Bellevue
hospital publishes formula which, he
says, will Obliterate any craving for
narcotics. DR.. Richards said that DR..
Lampert had used this formula for ten
years and that he had been successful
in 80 per cent of his cases.
The resident physician is instructed
to find out if the convict has ever
worked near lead or mercury or arse
mic so that be might be poisoned by
them. He is to be stripped and his
skin examined; also his joints, his
spine, his hips. While stripped he
must walk across the floor, and the
doctor looks for evidence of fat foot.
Dr. Richards has found that many
drift into crime from the discomfort
caused by such occupations as require
the continual standing positions.
The convict's eyes, nose. ears, heart
and abdomen are to be examined.
One Cause of Laziness.
"Most convicts have bad teeth"
reads the typewriter form now given
to the resident physician of each penal
institution. "Impacted teeth. e., one
tooth coming in at right angles to an
other tOoth-are one cause of neuras-
thenia and insanity, which is very
common among criminals. Find out If
every tooth which should be in the in
dividual's head is accounted for. If
some of them are missing take an
X ray picture of the jaw and see If you
can find impacted teeth inbedded in it.
