which produce growth should be sup
piled and also plenty Of exercise. Both
are important.
One method which gives generally
satisfactory results is to have shed to
which there is a good sized yard adja.
cent. Here. once a day, preferably in
the morning. cornstalks may be fed
upon the ground and good clean straw
In racks. For the evening feed clover
hay Is best, being fed in the racks in
the shed. A feed of grain. two parts
oats and one part corn, one-half pound
per head, is good supplement- to the
morning feed. Ii the hay should be
coarse or contain much timothy a good
portion of bran, say quarter IN bulk,
can profitably be added.
Pure fresh water should be accessible
at all times. If it is some little dis
lance from the yard. just so that 1t is
easily accessible, it will give the ewes
good exercise in travelling to it. The
water must be clean.
The yard is necessary. for in it the
ewes can secure needed exercise. and
1t should be for their sole use. Do not
turn in the cows and hogs and horses
and expect the ewes to thrive. Then.
too, one must see that there are ne
sharp corners nor small doors nor open
ings in which the ewes can crowd OF
injure themselves. This yard should
be SO located that it is protected from
the prevailing wind, and the ewes
should have access to it at all times.

be coruler with j. Pierpont Morgan OF

country. is the newly discovered pc
tentate.
Mr.. Baker was called as witness be-
fore the Investigating committee. and
his testimony was looked upon as even
more significant than that of Morgan.
who had preceded him.
He startled the. country with two or
three statements of facts which tend to
show the existence of a trust on money
He admitted that the power Of con-
trolling wealth was concentrated in Il
few hands and expressed his belief that
any further concentration of the power
would be bad. Ii the power got into
INSCRIPTIONS hands. he said. the wei.
fare OF the country would be seriously
endangered
There still are many men in Wall
street who remember George r. Baker
when he was Il clerk In the great bank
that he now practically owns. Now hs is
not only the head of one of the big,
gest financial institutions In the Unit.
ed States. but also one Of the af0ur
richest men in America
