cornield after the corn is fun grown
Both wool and lambs are salable."
Many a farm would be a more prof
liable enterprise as a whole if a small
flock Of sheep was added to the live
stock equipment. Sheep reproduce
more rapidly than cattle and come To
maturity at an early age, rivaling
swine In this respect. Being rumi-
nants they handle the same class Of
feeds as cattle and are far more useful
than cattle as cleaners Of waste. The
meat is very healthful and. as the car
cass is small, furnishes possibilities in
fresh meat, which would be most &C
ceptable on most farms. especially
during the summer season. This alone
should give few sheep a place on
every farm. On some farms chicken
is the only fresh meat available dur
ing the summer season. Even fried
chicken becomes monotonous when it
is the only fresh meat appearing on
the table for days at a stretch.

READY TO FIGHT FOR The CAUSE.

In his paper Of April 18th, Robert G.
! Houston sounds call to all who are OPP
posed to the sale of liquor, to be ready
for a stubborn fight for their principles.
He says:
It is well that all temperance people
should keep fully posted on this issue
throughout this campaign. While we
have no fears, it is well for all to be on
their guard. The Liquor Interest, grow
ing weaker every day, becoming more
and more desperate every day, will per
NIT no stone to GO unturned to re-establish
themselves in power. Conditions in the
two lower counties are vastly improved
and growing better every day. Now,
that Maryland has passed a law which
will put stop to Sussex Couutians bring
ing whiskey in through Maryland border
towns, conditions will be still much more
improved, and the improvement so APP
parent that the weakened will not be
able longer to find any excuse for their
sympathy for the traffic.
Seaford has been the worst spot and
there largely because Of its location and
situation But the traffic there will be
crushed out One of its citizens received
a three years sentence to the Work House
this week for violation of the liquor law,
and others there similarly inclined to vio-
late the law, will be more careful ins the
future. ~
1t takes time to eradicate these Jean
cerous growths in our body-politic. They /
are the growth of years and it takes time
for people to readjust themselves TO
changed conditions. 1t will take genera
ion at least. In the meantime what has
leen gained must be held, and all tenn
)erance citizens must be alert and ready
o forestal any move of the LIQUOR Crowd.

There are various ways Of tying the
herd bull. 1t is not an uncommon
practice to keep him in a stanchion.
and some tie him to low manger with
one rope around the horns and another
tied to the ring in his nose. We have
always felt that it is better practice
to keep the herd bull IN a box stall
open at the sides. arranged so he can
see the herd. This makes him feel that
he is part Of the herd. A stall Of this
character gives the bull an opportunity
to move about, which We believe is to
his advantage. HOard's Dairyman.

SHEEP ON SMALL FARMS.

| Economical Meat Producers and Valu-
able as Weed Destroyers.
In discussing the future meat supply
in a recent government bulletin one OF
the writer's said: "SheepEare not gen.
orally profitable to the farmer. Their
numbers are slowly decreasing nearly
everywhere except on the ranges, and
the latter are so fully stocked that not
much increase is TO be looked for in
that direction. There is no probability
Of any considerable future increase in
the number Of these animals
1t would seem that this writer IS
overlooking the possibilities along the
line Of sheep growing as a small farm
industry. says the Kansas Farmer.
Properly handled There is no more
profitable farm animal. Another writer
in this same bulletin seems to give the
sheep more consideration as a meat
producing animal. This writer takes
up in detail the various ways in which
the average farm can get into the meat
production business. One of the pos
sibiities he mentions is: by raising
sheep more extensively in the corn belt
and in the eastern states The impOr-
lance of the wool industry causes
farmers TO overlook the value Of sheep
for mutton and as weed destroyers. A
small flock of sheep Of one Of the nut
ton breeds should be kept on every |

THE SUPPRESSION OF POISONOUS
 ALCOHOL

Wood alcohol, or methyl alcohol or Columbian Spirits, is manu-
 factured largely as a cheap sol vent for shellac and other sub- stances. It is very volatile and exceedingly dangerous when 1t is painted on surfaces, in a con- fined space. It is injurious to the blood and heart and very de-
 pressing and poisonous, produc ing death in a very short time when inhaled in concentrated form. If death does not result, permanent blindness from optic nerve atrophy usually occurs. Seventeen cases of this kind were reported from the state of New York alone, during the past year. Wood alcohol is used larg-
 ly for vanishing the interior of
 beer vats. Such vats have a small vent hole in the bottom and a small manhole in the top, and no other openings. T h e painters go inside the vats and paint the interior with shellac. containing wood alcohol. They remain inside the vat for about twenty minutes. as the fumes are so powerful that they cannot remain any longer but must come out and breathe some fresh air. To hasten their work they use broad white-wash brushes which spread the shollac quickly over large surfaces. No effort is made to force fresh air into the vats.
 The use of expensive alcohol Is not necessary in the trades, even if wood alcohol IS abandoned. What is known as denatured all coh ol can be used. as it is just as cheap as wood alcohol and is not injurious. Su h countries as Germany and England, etc., have long since abandoned pois- onous alcohol. Why not the United States? Should t h e m anufacturer of this poison be continued, because some manu- lecturers have millions of dollars locked up in their factories? Or woould 1t not be better to sup press this kind of alcohol and compel them to produce alcohol of a non-injurious quality.

THINK II OVER

Some men when they discover the necessity of cutting down their expenses stop their county newspaper. We beg leave to suggest that there are many things that they can do without better than they can their local newspaper. We'll not mention them but just ask our readers to think over the matter carefully 5.fore stopping their home paper. When they stop 1t they only save 20 week or $l a year. Any man can afford that much money But the home paper is worth at least that much to every family ard may be worth much more. Don't cut yourself and family off from the world because you think money will be scarce. The pap CTS contents will give you more than one dollars pleasure during the year and will make suggest ions to you that will probably be worth fifty dollars during that time. Information on various subjects appear in the paper ev- cry week of more value than one dollar. Think about this before stopping the Picayune.

TURNING TIE FARMER DOWN

Last Saturday morning a far mer with some produce to sell was seen to drive up to a local store.
 The proprietor of the store ask ed by the farmer if he could buy he replied no, he had some on hand. Thus the farmer was for ced to seek a purchaser at some of the homes in town or take his produce home. Now if the far mer sells his produce to some housekeeper for cash and sends his money to mail order house for a pair of shoes what right has the merchant to complain?
 When a merchant refuses to buy the farmers produce why should the farmer be compelled to seek a buyer and then bring the money to the merchant to spend.
 The local merchant expects the people of the community to buy at home. Then why should not the rule work both ways, and the merchant assists the farmer to sell at home. -EX
