PROPER ATTENTION re EWES
Severe Losses Result From Attempt
Ing to Handle Early Lambs
Without Accommodations

The flock owner who breeds his
ewes to lamb during the late winter
and early spring months should pro
vide favorable conditions at the right
time. Severe losses result from at

tilated, and there must be plenty OF
pens and facilities for caring for each
eve as soon as she shows evidence
OF lambing.
We have found 1t desirable to keep
on hand an adequate supply OF light
partitions and hangers for construct
ing pens for the ewes as fast as need
ed. In this way the flock can have the
run of the whole sheep barn or 1t can
be quickly subdivided as the occasion
may demand. 1t will be found very
convenient to have a light manger
that can be made fast to the corner OF
each pen, so that roughage may be
fed regularly without being trampled
under foot and made unpalatable.

Praamatlsm.

But while the pragmatic solution
seemed to many a deliverance from
worse evils, and a most useful meth
cd of exploring for truth, it was gen
orally felt to be unsatisfying, rather
tentative than final, writes William
Ernest Hooking In the Yale Review
Pragmatigm taken alone leaves belief
too much to the accidents Of volition
and to main force, too much to the
vote and hence exposed to the veto.
It's God can offer support and comfort
to men only on the condition of being
first upheld by them. Just In proper
ton as necessity drops out Of moral
truth and option takes its place, the
moral atmosphere is rarefied, and eff.
fort to maintain belief results In swift.
er fatigue. Men are willing to respond
to the pragmatic incentive, TO be act
i've in the making Of truth, wherever
reality is seen to be unfinished and
plastic, but in all such activity there
is needed something to stand upon,
something which we neither make nor
have made, something independently
real and certain. There must be
something behind pragmatism.

fants are to be saved alive to furnish

must be protected. Thus the logic OF
the more or less paternalistic govern
ments of Europe and the Amsterdam
charts show the mother as the civil
lied states care.
The French, in whose country the
baby is held in higher regard, per
haps, than anywhere else in the world,
seem TO be pioneers. First, they sup
piled babies with milk. Then they fed
the mothers who nursed them, for 1t
is a curious paradox in France that,
in country where babies are SUI
preme, so many babies are nursed by
foster-mothers. Next the French be-
gan to feed the expectant mother and
found the result highly successful. At
the Conference in London on infant
mortality a most valuable and signiti-
| cant discussion dealt with ante-natal
! hygiene. The chief cause Of infant
mortality, it was conclusively shown,
is a defective condition of develop
ment at birth--and this depends up
on the facts of ante-natal life. Moth

the prevention of infant mortality,
Hence the care Of them by the state.
Besides the charts on infant NOR

other charts showed the effect OF al
colholism and disease in the parent
upon the life of the infant.
While the states growing concern
in the care of children, from their
birth and before, is mainly brought
about by the states desire for ply

conaested City Life Stays Infants.
The reports of European congresses
and of the more recent English-speak-
ing Conference were displayed in pop
ular form. The effect Of the crowded
conditions of city life upon infants
was suggested by chart and picture.
Figures furnished by John Burns, Brit
ish Minister of Health, were shown.
Mr.. Burns figures contrasted the per-
centages of infant mortality in con-
gested and open districts, in districts
where mothers worked and neglected
their children, with others more "a
vored. In Hampstead, London, the
rate of infant mortality was II per
thousand; in Shoreditch, at the other
and more crowded end of London, the
infant mortality was las per thousand.
In Lancashire, where women worked
in factories and where many children
were therefore uncared for, the infant
mortality was exceedingly high, three
or four times the rate in districts
where women of the same class did
not work. With such facts European
governments are studying plans
whereby mothers should be mothers
and not machines.
Doctors are more successful at saw
ing their own babies to become
adults. Mr.. Burns found that doctors
babies died at the rate of only 40 per
thousand, while in the case OF the up
per and middle classes Of Great Brit
ain the rate was II, in the case of
artisans 100 to 100, in the case Of
miners 100, in the case of unskilled
laborers $50 to $50, and In the case Of
farm workmen, despite their brutally
low wages, only 81 per thousand. The

IMPORTANCE OF CLEAN SEED
Corn Crop Of Country Has Been In
creased Millions of Bushels by
Good Seed Selection.

No farmer can get any one to take
the same pains in grading his seed
that he would himself. Some farmers
claim that it does not pay to clean
grain.
The corn crop of this country has
been increased millions of bushels by
intelligent seed selection. All other
grain crops can be improved by grad
ing the seed, so that only good, plump,
healthy grains, free from all foul
weed seeds may be sown.
The tanning mill, judiciously used
will do much to increase the yield of
every small grain crop and assist In
keeping our fields free from noxious
weeds.
1t will take cookie out of wheat,
buckthorn, plantain out OF clover, In
fact, it can be adjusted SO as to han
die all kinds of grain and weed seeds.
If you decide that it pays to SOW
good seed and to keep your fields
free from noxious weeds, then do not
hesitate to invest few dollars in
tanning mill.

Save Babies and Make Soldiers.
Continental Europe and. more latter
ly and more leisurely, Great Britain
are establishing medical inspection OF
children at school and, to less de-
gree, at home, to reduce the infant
mortality They seek thus to have the
doctor do for other children what he
has been able to do for his own.
Medical inspection came in Great
Britain as a sort of by-product Of the
Boer war. A London journalist, Of the
staff of the New Statesman. in relat-
ing the discovery of babies in the
United Kingdom, said that during and
after the war many would-be recruits
suffered from physical defects and an
official inquiry was set on foot TO in
quire into physical training in Scot
land. The report was unsatisfactory
as regarded the conditions found. BY
a bold hypothesis, certain observers,
these spoilt adolescents had not once
been younger and DR.. Leslie Macken-
zie verified this induction by a visit
to the North Canongate slum OF Edin-
burgh. where certain small creatures
were found, who might be regarded as
inchoate specimens of the spoilt sol
diery already encountered Having
examined the children at school then
the first official medical inspection
in Great Britain-he came to certain
conclusions which led to general in
quiry In England also. It seemed
probable that no known type OF dumb
bell, Indian club, or strangulation ap-
paratus for strapping ones self to
ones bedroom door, would have the
effect of Strengthening knees bent by
ricketts, or replacing teeth lost ten OF
! fifteen years before. Then came med
| ical inspection of schools in Great
! Britain as 1t had come In Germany
France and other nations earlier.

Preparation of Orchard.

land for several years, the work OF
thoroughly preparing the soil before
planting is important.
Whether the planting is to be done
early or late in the season, there is

Scabbies in Cattle.

The requirements relating to dips
for scabbies in cattle have been that
the tobacco dip should contain not
less than five hundredths3 of one per

ers of sulphur. Recently this order
has been amended, permitting the use
of the tobacco dip prepared, from to-
bacco and suitable tobacco products,

Europe Awake on Baby Question.
Inspecting the exhibition, under the
guidance OF the honorary secretary,
Mrs. ]. E. Van Buuren-Huys, no more
significant section was seen than that
devoted to child-life. In this was set
forth, by charts, maps, official reports,
and wax figures, the changed thought
of the world, particularly of CONT
mental Europe, regarding babies. Ap-
propriately was the exhibition held In
Holland, where the beloved Queen
Wilhelmina and her baby rule.
The baby has just now been off,
cially discovered in Europe. AS the
real maker of tomorrow's world the
infant is being studied by the state.
The fact is that you can not have a
farmer or a merchant or even jour
nalist without first saving baby. Elk
cept Adam and Eve, and Minerva, the

enough now that the origin of adults
must be traced back to babies. II

Care of Small Fruits.

Fruit of small size on berry bushes
is not always chargeable to poor vari-
cites, but is usually due to poor cul-
ture and no pruning. Currants are
largely borne on wood three or four
years old. Wood that is older than
this should be pruned out and enough
young canes allowed to take their
place. This may be done at any time
after the fruit is ripe. Keep the
plants well cultivated and fertilize
with barnyard manure.
