SHEEP RAISING PAYS
LACK or ATTENTION Is CAUSE
OF MANY FAILURES.
Good Reasons for Expecting Continue.
tion Of High Prices for Mutton
and Lamb-Demand for Wool
Is on the Increase.

The consumption OF mutton per
capita in the United States is increas-
ing every year. though the amount
used Is much less In proportion to
other meat than in Europe. There
are good reasons for expecting a
continuation of good prices for
mutton and lamb. and the demand for
wool also may be expected TO increase
more rapidly than the production.
These facts are brought out in a re-
cent letter from a specialist of the
department Of agriculture to a south
ern farmer who inquired regarding
the possibilities of the sheep business
The departments specialist called
attention to the fact that while farm
raised sheep have often not been
profitable, this has usually been be-
cause of lack of proper attention and
management. Variations in price Of
wool and mutton have stood in the
way Of such general interest in sheep
as would cause them to be regarded
as highly as they should be in the
ANbeAVs ANcs44t5to all OVER Nut NOilu are
now carrying about as many sheep as
they can support under a strict range
system, and an increase in the pro-
duction Of sheep products must come
mainly from farms. Here, then, is
the farmers opportunity to take ad-
vantage Of the increased consump-
ton Of these products.
While mutton can be produced at
low cost and there Is a growing de-
mand for if, difficulty in selling may
be experienced in sections where the
amount Of live stock produced has
not been sufficient to make It worth
while for regular buyers to operate.
Strengthening plants that can handle
carloads are within reach of all sec
tions, and if a sufficient number Of
neighbors combine to have 100 lambs

POINTS OF A PROFITABLE HEN
Good Sign of Healthy Fowl Wher
Comb Is Plump and Red and Wat
ties Of Bright Color.

II the comb Of the hen is plump
and red, and the face and wattles of a
bright color, it is a good sign that
she is in health and laying condition.
If confined at such a time she Will
show great restlessness, wonderful ac'
tivity and be full of business when at
liberty She will be on the alert at
every sound or motion.
On the other hand, il the comb ap-

ARE TWO ORDERS or GENIUS
Or. Stanton Colt Of London Does Not
Place Bernard Shaw In the
First Rank.

IL is astonishing, said DR.. STAN
ton Colt Of London during his latest
stay in Boston, how the people Of
continental Europe admire George
Bernard Shaw. lie is the only Eng
lish writer since Lord Byron who has
made any impression on them. His
wit is appreciated in Paris and Ber-
~, even though it loses much in
translation.
There are two orders of genius,
said Doctor Colt, and in the first or
der he placed those who saw and felt

5Lincoln and Lord Bacon. The sec
ond order includes such men as Shaw
and those journalists who are sensi-
tive to the immediate needs of the

expert about him; yet the deeper
meaning of our age is that it is an
age of specialists. | never could do

your literature from weekly and

the company Of master minds Of lit

Food for Thought in the Llnes
He Declaims.

A New York poet was favoring a
friend with few of his latest verses.
They were descriptive of a beautiful
girl. The poet read:
"Her hair was massed in flowing
curls,
The color Of a whisper"
This made the listener sit up.
"What's that? 2" he said. "Read it
again."
81 thought you would say some
thing about that" the poet answered.

but that little phrase gives some
scope for the exercise of the mind"
'In what way?"
"Don't you see" continued the
poet, show beautifully that describes
the shade of her hair? Every poet
speaks of golden hair or raven locks.
To be a success one must be original.
1t was nearly golden, and l convey
the impression by means of that one
word"
The friend looked puzzled.
"You have heard" said the poet,
patiently, 'that silence is golden?"

"Well, if silence is golden, what
would whisper be? 1t would be
nearly golden, wouldn't it?"

Unto us child is born, unto US a
son is given.
Into white and shimmering world
comes this white and shimmering
message on Christmas morning, 1914,
The message is universal. To many
the child is born in the fiesh--to
others, in the spirit But. whether OF
the soul or OF the body, on Christmas
morning childhood trails its clouds OF
glory over the earth.
In many homes Santa Claus will
leave his rarest, most exquisite gift
the rosy wonder OF life. the perfumed
flower of love--a baby.
In the United States, where the
message OF peace on earth is still a
fact and not mockery, the great
Christmas festival OF babies is with
out a shadow upon its beauty.
But in Europe, writhing under the
red reign OF war. there Is ghost at
the baby,s feast-there are many
ghosts, in fact--the pitiful pale ghosts,
the wee. wistful wraiths OF all the
babies that will not be born next
Christmas time.
The scarlet chronicles OF war blazon
their stories OF brave battalions 10 the
world And because OF the blare OF
wars trumpets and the rumble OF It's
drums, the cry OF myriads OF little
children, clamoring 10 be born. shall
go unheard. On Christmas day. 1915.
there will be no baby crop in Europe.
The man-at-arms has doomed the
