SHEEP FOR KANSAS FARMS
Important Experiments in Feeding
Lambs Are Under Way at State
Agricultural College.

Experiments Of great Importance to
the Kansas sheep raiser and feeder
will be carried on by the department
Of animal husbandry in the Kansas
State Agricultural College this winter.
A shipment of 800 head of a cross be-
tween a merino and a long-wooled ma
tive sheep have been purchased and
will be used in experimental work.
The sheep were secured on the Kansas
City market and were from Utah.
The lambs weighed an average. OF
fifty-five pounds and cost approx
mately 81 head. They will be diVid-
ed into six lots and a different ration
fed to each group. One experiment
will be carried on to determine the
comparative feeding value Of alfalfa
and cowpea hay, one to determine the
difference between corn and kafir for
fattening purposes, one to determine
the value Of silage as compared with
dry feed, and another to show the diff
ference between ground and whole
feed.
The lambs will be put upon grain
feed the latter part of October and
will be ready to market about the
first Of January. The sheep will be
on exhj bit Farmers Week after which
they will be sold and complete results
of the experiment published.

1t came to her not as toll but play. She lived
in land of fairies and giants and gnomes
In explaining her system, Mrs. Stoner starts
out with the assumption that every child is born
with distinctive tendency or talent and that this
will always bear fruit if discovered and culti-
waited in babyhood It is the mothers part to dis
cover this IN infancy and to to develop 1t just
as much as to keep it's body clean and see that
1t has the proper food. The mothers obligation
begins before birth and imposes upon her the
duty Of keeping herself so healthy and serene,
both mentally and physically, that the baby will
not have to start out with handicaps on its very
HrSt day.
Not being able to sing Mrs. Stoner chanted
the lines from Virgil's Aeneid to put the baby to
sleep and taught the chiId's negro nurse to do
the same. She declares that the meter is very
soothing and that she has seen many another
child yield to the somnolent influence Of "Arma
virumque canO, Troiae qui prinus alb oris.
When Winifred six weeks old her mother
began reciting selections from the English poets.
The baby's favorites seemed to be Tennyson's
Crossing the Bar" and Macaulays 'Horatius at
the Bridge By the time Winifred was year
old she could repeat Crossing the Bar" and
the first ten lines of the Aeneid. The mother
invented a game in which she would roll ball
to the baby and say "Arma." Winifred would
roll it back and say ''virumque" and in this way
the Latin words and meter were fixed in the
baby's memory
From the very beginning the mother would
carry her baby about the house, point out chairs,
tables, etc. and pronounce their names carefully.
She found it was just easy to teach the baby to
say train as TO say choo-choo car, and just as
easy to teach her to gay dog to say "doggie."
She surrounded the baby with colored pictures
To teach her co1ors Mrs. Stoner would take box
Of variously tinted yarns. She would play she
Mother Red" and baby would be Mother
Green and they would look into the yarn for
their children, those Of green tints OF course be
ing the babies of Mother Green"
Winifred's first toy a red balloon, which
was tied to her wrist where she could admire it
Each day thereafter for several weeks there
would be balloon Of different color and shape,
until the child speedily came to know whether
balloon was light round, red green and would 90
up and come down She was never permitted to
hear anything but the best English, although the
mother was not fnicky about vigorous, expressive
slang.
As the child had learned to speak Eng
fish reasonably we'll her mother began teaching
her Spanish. By the time she was five she had
learned to express herself In eight languages
Mrs Stoner declares however If she had il to do
over again she would teach Esperanto first

soon was the peer of the boys OF her
