HOPES FOR PEACE;
PREPARED FOR WAR
PRESIDENT WILSON STILL HOPE.
Full OF PEACEFUL SOLUTION
OF MEXICAN PROBLEM.
DepIores Armed intervention, But
Intimates That Drastic Course
Will be Taken When the
Necessity Arises.

hington.-President Wilson re-
yealed to those who discussed Mext-
can affairs with him on Monday that
he fully realized the gravity of the
situation resulting from the killing OF
William S. Benton, a British subject
the reported murder of Gustav Bauch
and Clements Vergara, American cit
liens, and General Carranza's denial
of the United States right to look
after foreigners generally in Mexico.
The president spoke deploringly of
armed intervention, but polntedly re-
ferred to the size and power of
country like the United States as be-
ing sufficient warrant for calm and
patient course while compliance with
the American demands was being
sought.
Callers got the impression from the
president that he was determined TO
try every peaceful means at his dis
posal to solve the Mexican problem,
but that he realized certain eventuali-
ties might mean a drastic course. He
spoke with a firmness that showed his
determination not to be stampeded
into action by radical speeches in con-
gress, but with hint that when the
necessity arose the American govern
ment could be expected to move decis-
lively and effectively.

TRUST BILLS ON
THE MUST LIST
NEW LAW TO ENHANCE RURAL
CREDITS WILL ALSO ENGAGE
ATTENTION OF LEGISLATORS.
Probable That Many other Measures
VIII Be Acted Upon, But Trust
Bills and Rural Credits Must be
Gotten Out Of the Way.

Washington-Trust legislation and
q new law to enhance rural credits
before adjournment of congress are
the only measures on the must list
of the administration for the present
session of congress, it was made
known Sunday This, of course, ex-
cepts the necessary appropriation
bills, which are now being rapidly
disposed of.
Should congress get into a tangle
over the trust bills and prolong the
session until campaign leaders at
home begin to cry for help, some
party leaders believe the rural cred
its bill might be put over until next
session, but there is an earnest de-
sire on the part of the Democrats to
establish a system of rural banks be-
fore the approaching congressional
Campaign.
When the currency law was passed
many promises were made that it
would be followed by legislation to
help the credit of the farmers, and,
although no declaration was made
that such law would be concluded
at the present session, criticism Of
the Republicans directed at the free
listing of farm products in the tariff
law demands, in the opinion of many
prominent Democrats. that compen-
.satory action ON behalf of the farm
sers should be taken as soon as pos
.sible.
It is probable that many other bills
will be passed from time to time
while trust. rural credit and appro-
.priation bills are being considered,
but 50 far as a legislative program
is concerned the leaders in both
houses of congress intend to keep it
short.

COST OF BUILDING CREAMERY
Small Structure Constructed of Brick
or Cement viii Cost From
5000 TO $4,000.
tBy JAMES soRENsoN., ,

The cost of building and equipping
a creamery win vary with the kind of
material used, the size OF the build
ing, and the distance the building ma
terials must be transported. Prices
OF building materials also vary, which
makes 1t very hard to give accurate
figures as to cost, hence only general
data can be given in this line.
A small creamery building CON
strncted of brick or cement. with ce-
ment floors, win cost from $4,000 to
$4,000, a medium sized building ST, 900
TO $4,000, and large one from $1,000
to $4,000. These prices secure good
substantial buildings, constructed so
that they are sanitary and practically
frost-proof, and that is the cheapest
building to put up where dairyine
has come to stay. There are no doubt
places where lumber is cheap and
dairying in its infancy, where it may
be advisable to build frame build.
ing, and in such places building can
possibly be put up for about half what
it costs to build a more substantial
one.

A welI-trained sheep dog is one Of
the greatest friends of the industry,
while the cur dog is one of its worst
enemies. The Scotch collie Is the
sheep dog of America, and wolf
trained one can not be appreciated
unless seen at work. Their tireless
watching, even at night, makes them
invaluable to the sheep herder. BY
their barking they warn him of any
prowler that may be lurking about
the flock.
Much of the sleepy flavor of mutton
comes from the generation of gases
in the stomach after the sheep Is
killed. For this reason sheep should

platform six or eight inches high is
convenient thing to work on and
aids in keeping the blood away from
the body, insurfng a cleaner carcass.
After dressing, the carcass should
be cooled to 40 degrees, OF as near
that as possible. In the summer 1t
will be necessary to have ice for this
purpose. Where there is a farm re-
frfgerator the carcass can be placed In
It, provided there is a circulation Of
dry air and no Objectionable odors
are present. Mutton can be kept for
week or ten days under these con-
ditions, In the majority OF cases, how
ever, ice is not available on the farm.
Under these conditions the sheep or
lamb, as the case may be, should be
slaughtered in the evening, the car
cass allowed to hang out overnight
(where nothing will disturb it,, and
taken to a cool dry room or cellar in
the morning, before the flies are
about. If the carcass is split it will
cool out more rapidly. Under these
conditions it is a good plan for two or
more farmers to club together. each

on Rack for Feeding Hay Sheep Feed From
Either

The best type is the most profitable
combination of wool and mutton. The
Investigations of the tariff beard indi-
cate that sheep farming for WOO alone
is Improbable. In investigating SAB
locks of the fine-woo1 section Of Ohio
they found that when there was a net
credit to wool the percentage of re-
ceipts from wool was 50 and from
other sources e.. If the raising of
sheep for wool alone does not pay IN
this region, 1t probably would not in
any other part of the farming section.
In establishing flock it is better
for the farmer to start ON a small
scale. unless he has previously had
experience. When one is dealing with
small numbers, a mistake in manage
ment or an error in judgment is not
SO great Importance as where larger
numbers are involved. Starting with
small flock requires less capital also
If it is desired to augment the size of
the flock, this can be done by the
natural increase, the best eve lambs
being selected each year for the pur-
pose. This should prove more eco
nomical than buying all the breeding
stock outright. Where the stock is
produced on the farm, only the cost of
pFOuuCtAOn can rISnLly De charged
against it, but where it is purchased
the cost of production plus d profit
and very often the price of the repu-
tation of the breeder must be paid
BY producing the breeding stock him
self, the farmer should secure a more
uniform lot and one better adapted to
his own particular conditions. Anoth-
er advantage of small numbers. espe-
eially where capital is limited. is that
better animals can be purchased.
The ram has as much Influence
upon the flock as the entire eve flock
bred to him. which fact gives rise 20
the old saying, The ram is half the
flock The selection of the ram Is
thus seen to be a matter of prime inn
portance. Improvement in breeding
can be brought about in a Hook at less
expense by the use of a good ram
than IN any other way. A good ram
is a valuable Investment, and the few
extra dollars in cost over the price of
a mediocre one multiply themselves
In returns on the lamb crop. Ti.s
wise selection of single ram has in
| many cases made q flock famous.
Probably sheep are subject to more
Ills than any ether class of domestic
animals. At any rate, they seem to

ment of Agiculture.)
Sheep husbandry should receive
more attention from the farmer of
this country than it does at the pres
ent time. Unquestionably sheep rails
ing could prof1tably be fitted into the
general management of thousands of
farms where there is none at the pres
ent time. On many other farms the
size of the flock could be Increased
and more attention given to this
branch of farming with resulting profit
to the owner, according to the depart
ment of agriculture
1t has been estimated that sheep
will eat go per cent. of all trouble
some weeds. They are, in fact, COM
monty used In cleaning up weeds from
fields, fence rows, roadsides, stubble
fields and corn fields. The common
belief among farmers is that weeds
eaten by sheep are so broken up in
the digestive processes that the seeds
will not terminate after passing
through the body as in the case Of
other live stock. However. weeds are
rarely permitted to go to seed If
enough sheep are turned in the field
while the weeds are young and tender
In some Investigations carried on
by the Canadian government among a
considerable number of sheep 10 de-
termine the kinds of weeds eaten by
them, it was generally agreed that
sheep would consume all but a very
few extremely unpalatable ones, such
as mullen, Scotch thistle, etc. Upon
inquiry as to the specific kinds eaten,
one farmer replied that he could not
give any definite information on the
subject, as the sheep kept his farm
SO free from weeds that he could not
see what kinds they actually ate
Where sheep have been kept, but
where for some reason they have
been disposed of, a striking difference
has usually occurred in the appear
ance of the farm. Weeds have sprung
up and grown where they had former
ly been kept in check. There is no
better solution to the weed problem
than a flock of sheep.
The farmers sheep should be a
wool and mutton sheep, with empha-
sis upon mutton. This dual purpose"

proved success, and it is already
represented in some of the breeds

Guilty about keeping the meat. A good
way to keep mutton at this time is to
allow It to freeze up and to cut off
enough for use from time to time with
saw. A single freezing does not
injure the quality, but alternate freez-
ing and thawing is harmful and should
be avoided
Lamb and mutton should never be
used for food until it is thoroughly
cooled out. Lamb Is as good as it
ever will be as soon as it is thorough
~ cooled, but mutton improves with
ripening for a week at 40 to As de-
grees E. Mutton can be corned, but
1t is not as palatable nor is it as nu-
tritious as the fresh meat. The hams
are sometimes spiced and are consid-
cred by many to be a delieacy when
prepared in this way.
