hat is true, no animal is less under

With sheep depends largely upon a
knowledge of their habits and famil-

Very few men succeed in the sheep
business who are not fond of sheep

They are timid and highly excitable
creatures, and every effort should be
made to keep them quietly contented
Ind comfortable, Unnecessary noise
should be avoided, and dogs should be
kept away from them at all times, un,

pther dogs with which the sheep are
very familiar The more completely
the dog is eliminated the better. The
two most discouraging obstacles to the
sheep business are dogs and parasites,

The Cause Of rheumatism

Stomach trouble, lazy liver and derang-
ed kidneys are the eause of rheumatism.
Get your stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels in healthy condition by taking
Electric Bitters, and you wlllnot be troub-

B. Allen, school principal, Of Sylvania,
Ca, who suffered indeecriDable torture
from rheumatism, liver and stomach
trouble and diseased kidneys, writes:

Buffers, but four bottles of this wonderful

Take Plenty Of Time to Eat.

There is saying that "Rspidle eating is
slow suicide" If you have formed the
habit Of eating too rapidly you are most
likely suffering from indigestion or con-
stipatiop, which will result eventually in
serious illness unless corrected. Digestion
begins in the month. Food should be
thoroughly masticated and insalisated.
Then when you have fullness OF the
stomach or feel dull and stu 9id after eat
ing, take one of Chamberlan's Tablets
Many severe cases of stomach trouble
and constipation have been cured by the
use of these tablets. They are easy to
take and most agreeable in effect, For

given these parasites until the flock
becomes badly infested and some OF
the sheep become i'll or die; the others
take on a ragged, unthrifty appearance,
and the owner becomes Disguised with
the sheep business, sells out for what
he can get, and decides that it does
not pay to keep sheep. And he is
right 1t does not pay to keep sheep
that way
Feed troughs should be kept scrupu-
lousy clean at all times. The troughs.
when grain is fed, should not be under
the hayracks, but so placed that they
may easily be kept clean and free
from litter of any kind. On the
side where the sheep feed the rack
should be perpendicular, with the Stats
or sticks SO close together that the
sheep can not get their heads be.
tween, but can only get their noses
through. This will prevent the shat
tering of seed and litter from the hay
onto the necks and backs Of the sheep
and becoming mixed with the wool.
The back side of the rack should be
made sloping, so that the hay would
naturally slide down where the sheep
can get it. The next best form of hay
rack is one with the Stats perpendic-
uIar on both sides, wide enough apart
for the sheep to get their heads be
tween, and so placed that the sheep
may feed from both sides. Such a
rack should have a fiat bottom about
two and a half feet wide.
While there is some difference in the
amount and character of feed required
for different breeds of sheep, as we'll
as different ages, and whether they
are fattening or producing lambs and
wool, but, in general way, all sheep
require a similar ration. For every
thousand pounds of weight breeding
ewes require daily about rs pounds OF
dry matter containing about 3 pounds
Of digestible protein, Is pounds OF car.
bohydrates and " pound of fat, max
ing nutrative ratio of / to Sc. For
fattening sheep the ration should be
increased to about 80 pounds of dry
matter per thousand pounds OF sheep
per gay, Win ABOUT l1G SdiuC uul4 lSifS
ratio as for breeding sheep.
In making up the ration as indicat,
&c above, the kind of feed used will
depend largely upon the kind available.
Some kind of succulent food should
be provided, and where it is available
nothing is better than silage, but such
roots as mangles or rutabagas may be
used. When some kind of succulent
food can not be had, little wheat bran,
oats or linseed meal should be fed,
Plenty of pure water should be pro.
vided, and where possible it should
be brought into the barn Salt should
be kept where the sheep can get at II
at all times, and if pulverized charcoal
and sulphur are mixed with it so much
the better. Pulverized tobacco mixed
with little~sal will do much toward
preventing attacks of internal para.
sites If kept where the sheep can gel
at it.
No rules far the care of sheep car
be laid down which will dispense witt
good sheep sense and constant, intelli
gent attention of the owner or shep

which will be undertaken touching the
validity Of former tax levies and the
cancellation and abatement of taxes in
Burleigh and other counties in the

The present ease is the Outgrowth
of an attempt on the part of the coun-

1910, amounting to $4,163.09. When
the payment was rendered County
Treasurer Kositizky he refused to ac-
cept the One-half in lieu of the tax and
insisted that action be taken to col
lect the entire tax. In January 1912,
Sheriff Barnes attached property of
the Water Supply Co. in payment Of
the tax and upon application of the
defendants Judge Winchester restrain
ed the sheriff from such procedure.
The water company then brought suit,
praying the court to relevy the tax
on the ground that it was excessive.
State Engineer Atkinson appraised the
plant in 1909 and the assessable valu-
alton was placed at one-third Of it's
the value. The valuation in 1909 was
$45,562 and in 1910 it was $4,000. The
company contends hat their property
is worth but $4,000 in spite of the
fact that it's capital stock and bonded
indebtedness is many times greater
than this mount.

SEEKING LOVER
RATES At MINOT
NEW PROCEEDINGS LAUNCHED
TO BRING ABOUT CHANGE
IN POWER SCHEDULE.

Minot, N. D., April 25.-A resolu-
ton calling for an investigation of the
rates charged by the Consumers Pow
er co. for light, power and heat in
this city will be introduced at the
meetings Of the city commissioners
next Monday night and in all proba-
bility passed. The preliminary steps
were taken when Commissioner Dor
mar introduced a motion instructing
the city attorney to prepare an ordi-
nance fixing the rates for electric light
and power to be charged by the Con-
sumerS Power Co. In his first motion
Mr.. DOrman included the specific max
imum rates which he believed should
be charged.
1t was pointed out by the city attor-
ney that the board could not fix the
rates arbitrarily, and after some dis
cUssion, Mr., DOrman withdrew his mo-
ton and introducing a substitute the
motion providing for the preparation
of the resolution calling for an inves-
tigatiOn. The date for the beginning
of the investigation will he fixed at
the meeting next Monday night If the
proposed resolution providing for the
investigation is adopted. There seems
little doubt as to the disposition of
the members of the board concerning
an investigation and it is believed that
the resolution will be adopted next
Monday night with little or no oppo-
sitiOn.

YARD MASTER IS
BADLY INJURED
DEAN TAYLOR OF MINoT CAUGHT
BETWEEN BOX CARS AND
LOSES LEG,

Minot, N. D., April 25.-Dean E.
Taylor, yard master for the 500 line
in this city, sustained injuries which 1t
is feared will prove fatal as the result
or an accident at the Soo-G Great
Northern ~transfer shortly after 10
o'clock yesterday forenoon. The acct
dent occurred at the switch connect
ing the transfer spur with. the main
track, almost directly south of the
Great Northern lunch room, and a few
feet west of the crossing leading to
the Burlington road.
Mr.. Taylor With the other members
OF the switching crew was engaged in
switching some cars from the trans
fer spur to a siding running at an an
gle with the main track. One OF the
cars, it seems, failed to clear the
switch, and as the engine was on the
main track 1t was necessary, in order
to move the car further INTO the sid
ing and clear Of the switch, to use an
IRON rod or pipe between a corner Of
the engine and a corner OF the boxcar.
Mr.. Taylor was holding the rod in no
sltion and as he signalled the engineer
10 start the engine, the rod slipped
with the result that Taylor was min
ned between the corner Of the car and
the corner Of the engine in such a
manner that his right leg was prac-
tically severed at the thigh.
While a physician and the ambu-
lance were being summoned the other
members Of the crew removed TAYLOR
from he track and did what thew
ouId to stop the flow of blood. The
500 line surgeon was soon on the
scene and rendered such attention as
ne could until the ambulance arrived.
when the unfortunate man was re-
moved to the hospital. An examina-
ton there revealed the fact that the
leg was almost severed and 1t was
