The admiral was poisoned. That

pearance, and 1t Is commendable in
us that we do, but thiL is not ALL be-
cause we must seek those ewes that
will all lamb at about the same time
Unevenness in band of lambs
works hardship upon the Individual
worth Of the lambs because they are
hard to judge by the buyer and he
bids low to make himself safe. Native
lambs are described on the market as
the up and down Sort" and the fact
that they are SO reflects upon the skill
of the native producer in the eyes of
the buyer. Our cousins on the range
are compelled, through force OF cir
cumstances, to have their lambs born
all within a period Of about Id days,
because the Landing grounds will not
maintain the band of ewes for a long
period. Ewes, failing to bring lambs
within this short period, are sorted
out and sold for mutton. AS re-
suit bands of range lambs come upon
the market In condition and weight,
and while they do not sell as we'll as
the best native lambs, they average
much better sale as whole. EvOn-
ness is one of the things in their IA
vor. The range men, though reject
ing the ewes that failed to conceive
in Is days, have built up bands OF
ewes that breed quite regularly, and
it is quite possible, l think, for the
native flock owner to do something in
this direction. With our small flocks
we cannot be- 80 rigid as the range
men, but we can do much toward Sc
lecting these ewes that will bring
forth their lambs at about the same
time. How can this be done? By
selling off the ewes that persist in
breeding late and by not reserving
the extremely late born lambs Tor
breeding ewes. A eve once started
to breed late, nearly always contracts
the late breeding habit, and 1t is hardly
worth while to attempt to her reform.
Late born lambs are much more like
ly to breed late than the early born
lambs. We can avoid the late appear
ance of lambs by using the most Wig
orous, active rams possible. Here
is something that should never be
overlooked. What is demanded of the
ram, besides his individual excellence,
is a short, hard, serviceable season.
If he is not capable Of this, it Is
unfair to the eve flock to lay the sin
of long drawn out lambing sea ron
against them alone. And he will not
be capable of short har dservice I'M
less he is of the highest type in consti-
tuition and vigor. In selecting ram
to sire markct lambs, the leading o,les-
ton the breeder SHOULD ask himself ia
DO l want lambs like this Sheep"
If you do, and if he is vigorous and
well bred. you will most likely be re-
warded in so far as the sire himyelf
can reward you.

LITTLE S0NGSTERS

Lark Does Not Deserve Reputa.
ton for Getting Out Early
Is a SIuggard.

A student of bird life, who has been
investigating the question as to the
hour in summer when the commonest
small birds wake up and begin to
sing, says that the greenfinch is the
earliest riser, as it sings about one
thirty O'Clock in the morning. The
blackcap begins at two-thirty and the
quail half an hour later.
1t is nearly four o'clock, and the
sun is well up, before the first real
songster appears-the merry black.
bird. Then comes the thrush, followed
by the robin and the wren; and last,
the house sparrow and the tomtit.
Thus it will be seen that the lark's
reputation as an early riser is not de.
served. In fact, he is a very sluggard,
for he does not rise until long after
many hedgerow birds have bsen about
for some time.

Mutton production has become

for the market. The buyers at Chi
cago Union stock yards assert that
about 80 per cent of all the sheep
reching that place are lambs. While
the very nature Of things assures us
there always will be mature sheep

believe that in the future the demand
for lamb mutton will be even strong

that the demand for lamb mutton Of

be abandoned before we can do it.
Every one will doubtless agree that
the strong, vigorous, rapidly growing
lamb is more profitable to the pro-
Queer than his weak constitutional,

at the profitable production of lambs
we must search out the essentials
necessary tc the production of the
former sort. One Of the first things
to seek is strong, uniform eve flock
ewes that are strong in constitution,
active foragers, uniform and regular
breeders, deep mixers and good

both the lamb and the eve are indif-
ferent about coming together and liv-
ing together courageously. The eve
is not worth much if she has not the
ability to care for her lamb well. To
secure the desirable bloom on the
lamb, which is characterized by baby
fat and plumpness, requires a liberal
supply of milk from the mother, and
this is hardly possible If she is not
robust and an eager feeder. There

selecting the eve flock are robustness
and strength of constitution.
Most native sheep growers are open
to criticism in that they do not Sc

these things due regard. Most of us

Topeka-The promoters of various
land schemes throughout the country,
who have found Kansas to be a very
fruitful field, have just had rude
shock. 1t has just been discovered
that those land agents must make
showing before the Kansas bank COM
missioner under the Blue Sky Law
before they can sell Kansas farmers
land in other states on the INSTALL
ment plan. The land promoters with
big blocks of swamp, sand hill, sage
brush, desert and other lands to be
traded must show something of value
before starting in business in Kansas.
The old law fit all corporations
which desired to sell stocks or bonds.
But the land companies were not
selling stocks are bonds. They sold
land. Since the Blue Sky Law went
into effect there has been more COM
plants about people being 'istung" by
buying land on the installment plan in
various parts of the country than from
the fake investment concerns.

amendments were made to the law.
One provides for a license for invest

each month of the sales and the sort
