STOCK ralSerS, is TO select for breeding
purposes animals from such breeds as
excel in as many as possible of these
lines.
Other Colleges Slight Experiments.
The numerous experiment stations
! In the various states have thus far
given but little attention to this par
ticular phase of the live stock indus
try, devoting most Of their time to
feeding problems in their relation to
marketing, and sighting almost en-
tirely such experimentation as would
test the comparative merits of the diff
ferent breeds. The University of Ida
no experiment station has not been an
exception to the general rule and only
now is beginning its first work which
Is tended to solve many of the breed
ing problems.
The experimentation on which the
two students will base their gradua-
ton theses will be conducted by them
under the supervision Of Professor E.
]. Iddings, head of the animal hus-
bandry department. By the time the
work has been completed the results
Of two years experiments will be
available. A careful record will be
kept Of the breeding qualities of each
of the seven different breeds of sheep
on the varsity farm. This will include
figures on the comparative weights of
lambs produced by each breed showing
the relative gains that are made in
the weight of lambs from birth until
ready for market

Make Feeding Tests.

/ One of the most interesting features
Of the experiments will be feeding
test through which it can be learned
just what breeds of sheep can be kept
in medium breeding flesh on the least
daily allowance of feed. This phase
of the work promises to be of great
practical value to the farmers of the
| state in that it will afford them
means of determining what breeds are
the most profitable.
Another phase Of the work and one
which, it is said, has never before been
developed anywhere In the world will
be series of milk tests in which the
milk from ewes representing all Of
the various breeds will be chemically
analysed In order to ascertain its
exact composition. Tests for butter
fat will also be made
Some Interesting Data.
Even in the preliminary work that
has already been done by Mr.. Johnson
and Mr.. LaFrenz some very interest
ing data has been obtained and some |
that would seem to indicate that sheep |
properly raised under northwest con-
ditions are far superior in weight and |
thrift to those raised elsewhere. The |
best authority on sheep raising gives |
the average weight OF Southdown ewes
at 1876 pounds. The average weight OF
the ewes OF this breed on the varsity
farm is little more than It's pounds.
Likewise the university's Shropshire

WOMEN ARE BLAMED
Extravaganza and Lack Of knowledge
of Value of Money Causes
Divorces.

DETROIT, Mich, Mar. 28-"A lacl
of knowledge of the value Of money or
the part of women is the most powerful
enemy to domestic happiness that ex-
ists," declared Judge Arthur Lacy, OF
the domestic relations court today
when he made public figures showing
that 26 per cent of the cases that come
before his court are due to extrava-
gance on the part of wives. Other
causes, according to Judge Lacy, are
as follows: Faults of the husbands
alone-25 per cent; faults of both
man and wife, with extravaganza Of
the wife as the principal trouble-49
per cent.

and Rambouillet ewes are far above
the average weights of their respective
breeds, the former averaging 1S5
pounds, or about 80 pounds above
average. The university's Rambouil-
let ewes average 176 pounds as against
$50 to 160 pounds for the general av-
erage of their breed. The Hampshires
also are considerably above the aver
age weight of their breed.
Test Out on Weights.
The preliminary work also shows
some surprisingly large birth weights
of lambs and also unusually heavy
daily gains. AS compared with the
average birth weight of lambs which is
usually considered about pounds for
singles" and from 514 to pounds
each for twins the weights Of three
pairs of twins on the university farm
seem indeed remarkable. One pair at
birth tipped the scales at 9 and 10
pounds respectively; another ats and
II pounds and the third at II and II "
pounds, or an average per lamb for
the three pairs of about 10R pounds.
These weights are about twice the
average birth weights of lambs. The
average daily gain of each of the %
lambs on the varsity farm has been
found to be approximately two thirds
of a pound In one instance a twin
has made a daily gain of one pound
since birth.
1t is probable that after the stu
dents theses have been completed the
results which are obtained will be
published in bulletin.

Subject of lamb Production.
The subject of lamb production in
it's relation to the sheep raising in
dustry was suggested to Mr.. Johnson
and Mr.. LaFrenz by the numerous in
quiries which have recently been made
by farmers IN all sections of the state
and by experiment station workers as
to the best breeds of horses, cattle,
hogs and sheep that can be obtained
for breeding purposes. In these in
quiries 1t is sought for the most part
to learn exactly what breeds of these
different animals can be depended up
on to make the most rapid growth;
what breeds are the most thrifty; what
breeds produce the healthiest Off
spring, and what ones produce an off,

IMPERIAL COUPLE
SHOT BY STUDENT
Archduke Francis Ferdinand
and Wife of Austria VIC
tins of Assassins.

Serajevo, Bosnia.-Archduke Fran
els Ferdinand, heir to the throne of
Austria-Hungary,' and the Princess of
Hohenberg, his morganatic wife, were
shot dead by student in the main
street of the Bosnian capital a short
time after they had escaped death
from a bomb hurled at the royal auto.
The archduke was struck full in the
face and the princess was shot through
the abdomen and throat. They died
a few minutes after reaching the pal
ace, to which they were hurried with
all speed.
Those responsible for the deed took
care that it should be effective, as
there were two assaults, the first with
a bomb and the second with revolt
yer. The bomb was thrown at the
royal automobile as it was proceeding
to the town hall, where reception
was to be held The archduke saw
the missile hurtling through the air
and warded it off with his arm. 1t
fell outside the car and exploded,
slightly wounding two aides-de-camp
in second car and half dozen spec
tators.
It was on the return of the process
sion that the tragedy was added to

chine reached prominent point in
the route to the palace an eighth
grade student, Gavrio Prinzip, sprang
out of the crowd and poured deadly
fusillade of bullets from an automatic
pistol at the archduke and princess.
