HUMAN BROTHERHOOD.
When Disaster Came All Were Kin and
Equality Reisned.

When Disaster Came All Were Kin ana
Equality Reigned.
Friends who went through the hor-
rors of the San Francisco earthquake
in 1906 and kept their spiritual senses
alert tell me that its most poignant
experience was not one of horror or of
pity, but of the almost miraculous ats
tainment of human brotherhood.
"Just after the disaster, when rich
and poor waited in line together for
their allowance of bread and milk, !
saw" says friend, "a rich woman
from the st. Francis hotel lying asleep
on doorstep with her head on muff.
A long sable coat was thrown over her.
and under one corner of it. youHs
japanese boy, a perfect stranger to
her, was curled up asleep. g
Everybody was everybody's friends
and, though we were all dog tired.
there was not word of complaint or.
i'll nature. To bivouac together in the.
park and care for each others babies
around fires of driftwood gathered on
the beach transformed men and wo-
men into defenseless children of the
earth. revealed each to each by their
innate lovableness.
Common danger and mutual help
fitness, common misfortune, commpH
work, common conformation with the
elemental, brought swift achieve
ment of almost ideal brotherhood. "A
crushing blow made all the world for
a time kin."-Atlantic Monthly.

Aifalfa-Fed Sheep.

sured. 1t will also be possible to Sc
cure visits and bids from buyers when
such a number is promised. The
lamb clubs of Tennessee, notably the
one at Goodlettsville, have proved
very successful in this work.
The same organization can also be
used in disposing of the wool.
In countries where economy in farm
management has been studied a long
time, the sheep is considered to be
necessary in utilizing vegetation on
such waste lands as are not wet or
marshy. But the sheep can hold it's
place on high-priced land as a meat
producer alone. Compared with
larger animals it has some important
advantages. First, the lambs mature
very rapidly, being marketable at
four months of age or later, accord
ing to breeding and feeding. This is
an economy because a larger proper
ton of the total feed goes into in
crease of weight than in slower grow
ing animals. Second. the sheep con

than do other animals. Many Of such
plants are detrimental to pastures and
would otherwise require hand labor
to hold them in check. Third, grain
waste in harvesting can be entirely
recovered by sheep. These facts
prompt some farmers to claim that
the summer food Of sheep costs moth
ing, because what they consume would
otherwise bring no returns.
Compared with hogs the sheep has
an advantage In the wider variety of
materials it consumes. Being a
ruminant 1t make its gain with a
minimum of grain and expensive con
centrates. This is especially impor-
tant on those kinds Of lands that are
better adapted to the production of
forage crops than to grain growing.

KEEP SOME SHEEP ON FARM
Procure and Never Use Any But
Pure-Bred Buck.

Ten to 20 ewes will be enough on a
100 to 200-acre farm, unless it is de-
cided to make sheep the leading farm
stock; as the natural increase from
these will soon build up a flock.
Get as good ewes as you can pro-
cure, and they will probably be grades,
which is all right. but remembering
that the male is more than half the
flock, never. never use any but a pure
bred buck.
The novice can easily get some repu-
table dealer who knows the kind of
ewes wanted to procure him the
needed number, and / advise against
starting in to learn the sheep business
with too large a flock, but to begin
with a few animals.
Ten good ewes can be had for about
$50, the buck will cost $40 up to as
much as you are willing to pay, and
10 lambs next July, will bring you
the cost of the whole, but this is not
good business.

REAL HOME FOR THE HOLE
Finds Secure Abiding Place After a
Period of Troublous
Wanderinss.

Everett p. Dahlgren, the millionaire
opponent of woman suffrage, said at
a suffrage debate in Boston:
81 always declare that woman
shouldn't enter politics till she's full
filled all her prior duties.
Prior duties! Prior duties!' So
a young lady Knocked me one day.
What do you men mean by these
prior duties that you're always talk
ing about, Mr.. Dahlgren?'
80 then l told the young lady this
story:
Once upon a time, | began, a little
hole was born; and it looked around
to see where it should take up It's
abode.
1T first decided on a window, but a
man came straightaway and put in a
new pane. 1t next chose a chair seat
but the housewife sent for a Gamer
and in a jiffy a new seat was put in
the chair. The hole now selected 9
baby's rattle, and the baby was sc
pleased that it began to tear the rat
tie to pieces and the poor hole, hall
crazed with fright, had just time tc
escape. 1t threw itself, more dead
than alive, into the first thing that
came TO hand, which happened to be
the sock OF a suffragist husband.
There, at least, the hole seems tc
have found a real home. It's peace
has not been troubled from the be
ginning. six months ago"

SHEEP RAISING PAYS
LACK OF ATTENTION IS CAUSE
OF MANY FAILURES.
Good Reasons for Expecting Continue.
tlon of High Prices for Mutton
and Lamb-Demand for Wool
Is on the lncrease.

The consumption Of mutton per
capita In the United States is increas-
Ing every year. though the amount
used is much less in proportion to
other meat than in Europe. There
are good reasons for expecting a
continuation Of good prices for
mutton and lamb, and the demand for
wool also may be expected to increase
more rapidly than the production.
These facts are brought out in a re-
cent letter from a specialist Of the
department OF agriculture to a south
ern farmer who inquired regarding
the possibilities Of the sheep business.
The departments specialist called
attention to the fact that while farm
raised sheep have often not been
profitable, this has usually been be-
cause of lack of proper attention and
management. Variations in price Of
wool and mutton have stood in the
way of such general interest in sheep
as would cause them to be regarded
as highly as they should be in the
future. Ranges all over the world are
now carrying about as many sheep as
they a support under a strict range
system, and an increase in the pro-
duction Of sheep products must come
mainly from farms. Here, then, is
the farmers opportunity to take ad-
vantage of the increased consump-
ton of these products.
While mutton can be produced at
low cost and there is a growing de-
mand for it, difficulty in selling may
be experienced in sections where the
amount OF live stock produced has
not been sufficient to make it worth
while for regular buyers to operate.
Strengthening plants that can handle
carloads are within reach of all Sec
