(By ELMER HENDERSON,


Much has been written and said of
the enormous profits to be made from
the keeping of few sheep on the
corn-belt farm. Some have figured
that it costs from So to SO per year
to keep a sheep and that the fleece
would Just about pay that, Others.
pessimists, say, that the losses from
keeping sheep are so heavy that there
70 absolutely no profit, due to the raw
ages of disease, vermin and internal
parasites. Between these two will be
found the middle way that seems to
catch the bulk of the sheep raisers.
AS a working basis let us take pas
ture. Pasture is at once the best and
the most economical sheep feed
known. An acre of grass according
to the country standard will support
one COW or its equal in weight of other
grazing animals. In other words an
acre of good pasture land will main
tain 1000 pounds Of COW, sheep or
horse flesh. The average corn-belt
eve will weigh, say 125 pounds. This
means that an acre of land will fur
nish nourishment for eight ewes dur
ing the entire pasture period of six
months If the land rents at SO per
acre, as it does in this part Of ILL
nois, we have the cost Of maintaining
one eve as ST. per summer.
We may count clover hay as stan
dard winter feed, and given plenty of
nice clean clover hay, no other feed Is
needed. Our field Of clover hay in the
corn belt for two cuttings is about
three tons per acre. On good farms
the yield is more, but we may take
this as representative. Three tons of
hay per acre, means 5000 pounds of
clover, counting that each sheep will
eat three pounds of hay daily, which
is a big allowance; eight sheep fed
$50 days, three pounds per day, will
eat considerably less than what one

WRONG BREAKFAST.

THE LlfEsAvERs' RECORD.

Out of total 81 /, 74s casualties al
sea during the fiscal year ending June
30th last, the highest in the history Of
the lifesaving service, only So vessels
were lost and 70 persons we're drowned,
according to the annual report of S. l.
Kimball, general superintendent Of the
service, which has just been made pub
lie. Through the efforts Of the service
vessels and their cargoes valued at $l3,-
800, coo were saved. The crews of the
service, with the assistance of revenue
cutters and wrecking vessels, assisted
1854 vessels, valued, with their cargoes,
at $6,033, 900, and carrying 5,168 per-
sons. The crews also warned 1872 YES
sells that were running into dangers,
practically all of this work being done
at night. 1t also extended aid to 2S8
vessels by furnishing emergency pilots,
carrying persons to and from ships to
shore, and caring for injured officers and
men. Of the total of accidents, small
and undocumented, motor boats COM
prise 60 per cent, more than two thirds
of all the persons exposed to danger
from the sea being on board this class of
craft. The danger in unskilled handling
of small pleasure craft thus is shown to
be excessive.

Rev. F: W. Smell and family have arrived
and established in the Barter cottage,
which has been leased for parsonage. We
are exceedingly fortunate in having secured
the services of DR.. Smell, for he will not only
look after the spiritual welfare of the towns
people, but is an M. D. of many years expert
ence. Rarely are these twin professions CEN
tered in one individual. A resident physician
is an absolute necessity in every community
and DR.. SHELLS advent is source of general
rejoicing. Church services will be as follows:
Sunday preaching, 10 Al a. m. and p m;
Sunday school at IL o'clock; Thursday, 7.30 p.
M, Christian Endeavor meeting.
Heretofore it has been necessary in case of
sickness to send to Stonington, eight miles
away. for physician, and although the advent
of the power boat has made this easier I'M
dertaking than when sail crafts were used, it
hazardous and difficult.
Although Isle au Haut has been losing in
resident population since the shutting down of
the lobster factory many years ago it has
gained in many other respects and has grown
in favor as a summer resort. 1t now has q
good carriage road arround the island and q

REPUBLICAN REORGANIZATION.

All things considered, the Republican
National Committee. at its special meet
ing in Washington, has dealt wisely with
difficult problem. Instead OF ealing a
special convention next year the changes
in party procedure upon which the com
mttee, with encouraging unanlmity,
agreed are to be embodied in referen-
dunn to the Republicans of the several
States. If approved by two-thirds
vote the delegates to the next regular
national convention will be elected under
the revised rules.
The amendments to be voted upon
cover the points in dispute at the last
national convention which precipitated
the split in the party. The basis of
representation will be changed from
population to the Republican vote cast,
and where a State law providing for the
election of delegates to national conven-
lions conflicts with party procedure the
delegates shall be elected in conformity
with the statute, and delegates so elect
ed shall be placed upon the temporary
roll of the convention upon the presenta-
ton of a certificate from the State au-
thorities.
In recommending to the rank and file
of their party these new rules of pro-
cedure the national committee makes no
confession of wrongdoing at Chicago
last year. Indeed its orderly process is
in contrast with the disorderly attempt
of the minority in that gathering to turn
itself into majority by overthrowing the
regular procedure in utter disregard of
ali parliamentary law. TIE difference
between what the national committee
proposes to do and what the minority in
the Chicago convention attempted to do
is merely the difference between making
a rule and breaking rule. Under the
rules which governed the last national
convention State was required to elect
its delegates in conformity with the call
of the national committee issued the
preceding year. The Republican organ
ization in California ignored that historic
party rule and elected its delegates in
accord with law passed at a special
session of the Legislature, which was
designed TO give to one faction the con-
troll of the delegation. The national
committee, sustained by majority of
the convention, stood by the existing
rule of the party and refused to seat
certain California delegates. In the
Southern States the national committee
passed upon the credentials of the dele
gates presenting themselves and placed
upon the temporary roll those delega-
lions whom it believed entitled to seats.
To break this parliamentary rule and
party procedure would prevent the plac-
ing of these delegates on the temporary
roll. To that end the minority address,
ed themselves. for it offered the only
way to turn themselves into majority.
At the next national convention neith-
er one Of these issues can come up if the
changes recommended by the national
committee are ratified by the rank and
file of the party. The increasing num-
Der of States which have enacted laws
providing for the regulation of party
procedure makes desirable recognition
of the State law for those delegates
whom 1t affects.-Beston Transcript.

THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC.
New Cargo Carrying Steamships for John S
Emery & Co,

! The old established shipowning firm of
! John S. Emery & Co., Ineor., of Boston,
I Mass, has under construction by the
Fore River Shipbuilding corporation two
large cargo-carrying steamships--Atla
tic and Pacifc-of the following char
acteristics: The vessels will be 406 feet
in iength by 81 feet, 6 inches beam, and
will tie capable of carrying total dead
weight of about 5000 tons each. These
ships will be built on the single-deck
principle with clear holds free from all
distractions, each of which will be load
ed through exceptionally large hatch
ways, having DeRusett patent steel
covers. The machinery will be installed
right aft, and will consist Of a rs inch
( tripie-expansion engine with three large
single ended Scotch boilers arranged
abreast, the power generated being cap
able of driving the vessel at sea speed
of 10 IL knots loaded.
The engineers and petty officers will be

the poop deck, and the seamen and fire.
men Oh the main deck aft. The captain
and navigating officers, etc., are pro-
vided for in an island house amidships
with the usual dining room and other
| conveniences. The cargo-handling ap-
planes are Of the most up-to-do char
acter, comprising nine double-drum fric-
ton winches mounted on platform houses
at the bases of masts and kingposts, per-
hitting of commanding operating po-
sition in handling lumber deck loads.
The derricks are of five ton capacity with
one steel derrick of Is tons for handling
heavy loads. Large lumber ports have
been installed in the bows to permit OF
reeving long spars on deck.
These vessels will prove to be excep-
tionally economical carriers, on account
of the great lightweight carried on the
dimensions, in combination with an ex-
ceptionally large cubic capacity, and all
of the appliances arranged for expedi-
tious handling and discharging, making
the vessels of an unusually flexible char
acter readily adaptable for the lumber,
coal, ore or sulphur carrying trades.
The keel of the Pacific was laid last
week and she will be rushed along as
1ast as large force of men can do the
work, the same as is being done with the
Atlantic, the keel for which was set in
place on Oct. 31st The Atlantic is one
third in frame and plated. The Pacific
is to be built on the ways from which
the Amolco, the Boston Molasses Com
pany's new steamer. was launched.
The contract calls for having both
steamers ready for service next August,
and the Fore River people say that they
will be completed before that time. The
plan is to have them run from Boston to
San Francisco, Los Angeles or San Diego
and carry general cargoes, probably on
regular schedules. Each ship is to be
registered by the builders in Lloyd's
highest class and the steamship company
also will have them registered under the
American Bureau of Shipping. They
will be among the best steel steamers OF
their class for carrying coal and general
bulk cargoes.
