United States district court, TO-DAY
granted permanent injunction in be.
half of the Centaur Company of New
York, the manufacturers of Fletcher's
Castoria, against the Stewart &
Holmes Drug Company of this city.
The controversy arose from the sim.
ulating of the labels of this well-known
preparation, and from the evidence
filed in the case it was shown that the
infringing label was first discovered
on sale in Honolulu, and was traced to
it's origin here in Seattle.
The defendant company is one of
the Oldest and largest concerns of its
kind in the Northwest.
The decree carries with it an order
that the Stewart & Holmes Company
recall the goods which are on the mar,

pay all costs in the suit and damages

CONDITION
BEFORE LANDING
important That Breeding Ewes
Be Put Under Careful Sur
veiIance Few Weeks.

Both before and after lambing is an
anxious time for the sheep raiser as
he stands to lose considerable or to
lose a great deal The next month or
two are important ones.
Much is written about the treatment
of ewes after lambing and too little IS
said about giving them extra care be-
forehand.
II the ewes are thin and weak the
lambs always make bad start, but II
the milk is deficient both in quantity
and quality, they are badly nourished.
If only one is to be raised it may sue
ceed better than twins, but even a
single lamb will have hard time of
it if the eve is poor.
l know there is danger in having
some kinds of stock too fat at the time
of producing their young, but very few
ewes suffer from that. Indeed. the
danger is that they may be too thin.
and especially is this true if the win
ter has been unusually severe.
1t is most undesirable to have the
strength of the eve impaired at this
time as strength is needed to lamb
successfully and condition is wanted
to provide amply for the lambs. For
this reason it would be well to put
the breeding ewes under careful sur
veilance for few weeks before lamb
ing.
A heavy coat of wool may give them
a fat appearance, but if the bones are
prominent it is not good sign. Extra
care and superior food daily is neces-
sary if one would be quite sure the
ewes are in proper condition.
1t is much cheaper and more salts
factory to do this than to make great
efforts to improve them afterwards

SITUATION IN
MEXICO SERIOUS
President Determined Not to BE
Stampeded Into Action.
USINGPE UL. MEANS
Hands OF the United States May Be
Forced If Britain Insists Upon
a Prompt Adjudication OF
the Benton Case.

Washington.-Pre Wilson re-
yealed to those who discussed Mexl-
can affairs with him that he fully rea-
lized the gravity of the situation that
has resulted from the killing OF Will
liam S. Benton, British subject, the
reported murder of Gustav Bauch and
Clemente Vergara, American citizens,
and General Carranza's denial OF the
right of the United States to look after
the interests of foreigners generally in
Mexico.
The President spoke deploringly OF
armed Intervention, but at the same
time pointedly referred to the size and
power of a country like the United
States as being sufficient warrant for
a calm and patient course while COM
plance 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 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 de-
cisively and effectively.
Much Depends On Britain.
Upon Great Britain's attitude toward
the Benton case depends largely the
extent to which the United States will
become involved. Should England
show an inclination to let the Benton
case await a final adjudication at a
time when firm government is estab-
lished in Mexico, the United States
will not feel called upon to challenge
General Carranza's specific refusal TO
supply the Washington administration
with information about Benton's
death.
Representation have been made to
General CarranZa, it is understood,
through American Consul Simpich, at
Nogales, and on their outcome depends
whether or not the expedition which
had planned to go to Chihuahua from
Juarez to examine Benton's body will
carry out its mission.
The Washington administration,
however, is taking it for granted that
arrangements authorized by General
Villa for the departure of the commits

JOBS AROUND THE
FARM IN WINTER
Best Time of Year to Move and
Transplant TreeS-Many
Other Excellent Hints.

Keep the horses sharp shod when
the ground is icy. If you do not, they
are apt to slip and strain themselves,
perhaps permanently.
Winter is the very best time of the
year to move and transplant large
shade trees. Take them up with a
large ball of frozen soil which holds
without injury large number of feed
| ing roots.
Drag down stalks and tall weeds in
winter when the ground is frozen or
dry. In this condition they will catch
the SHOWS and rains, become rotten.
make plowing easier and sooner be-
come available plant food when turned
under =
On hilly land inclined to wash,
| watch the soil during winter and fill
depressions and gullies with stalks,
straw and any rubbish that will hold
the soil and catch any that may be
washed in from roads and adjacent
| fields
A good tool to cut turf around trees
and along borders of walks can be
made from an old hoe. Bend the
shank out straight and sharpen from
both sides.
Colts ought to be halter-broken now
and by spring they ought to be used
to the bride and the backband.
If you cannot afford to build an ex-
pensive hoghouse, take ten-foot
boards and nail them to stout
frame made in the shape of peaked
roof. Cover these with long straw
and batten them down with strips
running crosswise. The boards should
run from the peak downward and
the straw should be laid the same
way in order to carry off water. A
window for light and ventilation
should be put in one end and self
closing door in the other.
A cheap and effective protection for
young and tender vines can be made
by taking small wooden boxes of any
kind, knocking OF both ends and tack
ink a piece of cheesecloth over one.
Press the box down tightly over the
plant so that the bugs cannot get un'
der. The cheesecloth will filter the
light just enough to give the plant
good start.
One of the handiest things about
farm is a cart made from the wheels
of an old buggy on which is mounted
a light frame, constructed to hold hay
or other light material. A pair OF
handshafts can be attached and these
should be supported by stick hinged

Begin to work the horses carefully
in the springtime. They have been
standing around until their muscles
are all soft and to get right down to
hard work all at once may make them
sick. Feed carefully, too. for a few
days. Better underfeed them than to
give them too much on the start.
Some Of the curry-combs and
brushes used on some Of the farms of
this country are a sight to behold.
Better throw them over the fence and
get new ones. The cost is slight and
you will do a great deal better job.
Think how much better the horses
will feel about it, too.
Harness is high this spring, as well
as all other kinds of leather goods, yet
it is better to buy new than to run
the risk of a runaway. If you really
think you cannot afford a new one
take the harness to some good man
and have every weak piece made good.
That will tide you over until you can
do better.

Determining AGE
OF YOUNG CATTLE
Time of Appearance of lnciSorS
Varies Within Narrow Limits
MoIars Don't Count.

By G. E. MORTON. Colorado Agricul-
tural College)
The calf when born has two pair OF
incisors, the other two pair appear
during the first month. When calf
is eighteen months old it loses the
middle pair of milk incisors, and
grows a permanent pair. The next
pair one on each side, is replaced at
twenty-seven months of age, the third
pair at thirty-six months. the fourth
or outside pair at forty-five months.
The time of appearance Of these In
cisors varies within rather narrow
limits, so that we are able to tell the
age Of young cattle fairly accurately.
The calf also has a temporary set OF
molars, which are later replaced with
permanent ones, but they are not con-
sidered in estimating the age Of the
animal.

did not seem to thrive well.
After the first few days they would
begin to lose their appetites no matter
how great variety of food was given.

This is a territory governed by Con-

selves efficient in positions that they
have held should be reappointed,
whether Democrats, Republicans or

be slow to appoint vacancies that are
already not filed and slower still to

honorable ambition to so administer
