ments made by ex4Gov. Burke on tho
state Board of Control and state tax
commission is matter of conjecture.
Whether or not q state tax COM
mission longer exists also is a matter
of conjecture.
Where is Tax Commission.
The senate in executive session Sat.
urday afternoon is presumed to have
heard the report of the committee on
state affairs relative to this matter.
So far as has been made public
the senate neither confirmed nor re-
jected the appointments. According
to the law, unless the members of
the state tax commission appointed
to fill a vacancy are confirmed by
the senate before the third Monday in
january, they automatically lose
their jobs.
Penal Board Waits.
The question of interest therefore
is whether or not the present commits
sion was named to fill vacancy.
Relative to- the board of control of
state charitable and penal institutions
the senate has not expressed it's
pleasure insofar as the ratification of
appointees is concerned, the matter
probably will be definitely disposed of
on Monday.
The senate adopted a resolution
authorizing the hanging in the senate

EXPENSE OF HANDLING EWES
Every Farmer Should Figure Out
Cost of Feed-Pays Better to
Wean Lambs Before July l..

Prof E. w. Sheets of the West Vir.
ginia experiment station, in discuss
ing the question of breeding ewes.
said that he believed every flock
owner should sit down and figure out
the cost of the feed.
In the fall he feeds breeding ewes
once a day on oats and bran; feeds
no corn whatever to the breeding
ewes. Uses clover. cowpea and mixed
hay and corn fodder for roughage
The latter it pays to shred or cut
His Southdown sheep eat about six
pounds of silage apiece a day. two
pounds of hay and one-half pound OF
grain, but he does not give the ewes
SO much silage as this before lamb
ing.
He feeds the lambs with the ewes
starting with about half pint OF
grain to the lamb at eight weeks old
and getting up to pint of grain at
about twelve weeks old. This feed is
continued throughout the season
After the lambs are weaned he puts
the ewes on a stubble field tc de
crease the flow of the milk. He
gives tobacco. which he raises him.
self, in the feed each day as pre-
ventive of stomach worms.
He thinks it pays better to wean
lambs the 1st OF July than at any
other time. 1t costs him $306 to
keep a sheep year, but he did not
charge present market prices for his
feed adopting a scale OF prices that
would run about the average for
series of years.

DuRoc JERSEY BREED
Three Essentials Necessary In
Establishing Herd.
Breeder Should Have Clearly Defined
Ideal in Mind and to Mate AMI
mails to Produce That Type
Let Pedigree Care for Itself.

From our limited knowledge and
experience we conclude that but three
things are necessary to enable a
breeder to produce a herd of Durocs
of reasonably similar type. We place
these three things In the order OF
their importance. as ability, time,
and money, writes the Northwest Agri-
culturist. ASosI
In the first place. the hre4der must
have clearly defined ideal In his
mind, of the type of hog he will try
to produce before ability even.
will be of any service to him. AND
we are free to admit that as far as
we know, this ideal hog has neveI
made its escape in the flesh from the
mind of any breeder as yet. least
wise we have never seen or heard OF
its having been at any OF our shows
With this ideal firmly fixed In his
minds eye, he Is now ready to ex
ercise his ability to first select ami
mails of his ideal type and. secondly,
to mate them SO as to produce this
type as nearly as possible.
That there are many, many per-
sons engaged in the rearing OF Du-
rocs who lack this ability is pain
fully evident as one visits the vari-
GUS hertii, scattered abroad in the
| land. These persons can be divided
| into two classes-those who are just
raising hogs to get as many and as
| large ones as they can. regardless OF
aught else. and who should be called
meat producers' only, while the

ing. so as to get as many high sound,
| ing names on one pedigree as posi-
| BILE. with the sole ambition OF boom
| ing things or making a high public
i sale average, with no regard to type
or usefulness, can very properly be
called spectators.
The true breeder is he who is ever
working toward the desired end OF
producing the perfect or idea- type.
He does not mate pedigrees, he
mates type and let's the pedigrees
take care of themselves, being fully
aware tn at If he can produce the in
dividual excellence the pedigree will
be all right, however 1t may read.
No matter what his ability, the
person Just starting in to breed Du.
l
skill he may possess. With conditions
as they are at present-almost as
many different types as there are
hogs-there is great opportunity
for the aspiring breeder to show what
he can do.
Live Stock and Fertility.
1t is not impossible to build up q
wornout farm without making live
stock raising a feature, but 1t is much
easier to do it with live stock and. We
.bink, ,mquestionably more profitable
says Farm and Ranch. Live stocl
-aising requires diversified system
of crops, especially of legumes. which
greatly assist in restoring the land in
nitrogen, the element most likely &c
he needed: the animals consume the
eed raised on the farm and reduce
he loss in fertility elements by re
turning to the soil the manure from
animals.
