The young lambs will begin to come
along pretty fast now and IL you
have kept a record of the service you
should know exactly when each eve
should drop her lamb. From 14S to
1852 days from the time of service
the lambs should be dropped. If you
have taken good care of your ewes
by feeding them on a light ration OF
corn, slower, bran, fine clover hay and
a little oil meal toward the finish, you
may reasonably expect a good crop of
lambs.
The good shepherd will see to 1t
that his lambs are entirely free from
ticks. At least six weeks before
lambing time the ewes should be very
carefully examined and if there is
any sign of ticks they should at once
be dipped. Place the eve on it's back
part the wool along the belly, and
pour on the dip solution SO that 1t
will run down and cover the entire
skin. Do not keep the eve on her
back too long, but place her on her
feet, part the wool along the back
and pour some of the solution on so
that it will run down and meet that
from the belly. 1t is bad plan to
allow lambs to come when the mother
Is covered with ticks.
There is no such thing as raising
lambs, or rather, of bringing them
into the world In good condition.
When the man takes good care of his
ewes he is likely to have good crop
of lambs. When he does not he will
likely have poor crop Of lambs.
The breeding ewes should always
be separated from fat sheep and
wethers, and in no case should the
rams be allowed with them previous
to Landing time. Hurdles, four and
five feet long should always be in
readiness so that the eve and her
lamb can at once be separated from
the rest of the flock. This is espe-
cially important with twins. because
if one of the lambs should become
separated from the eve she will not
claim it again.
Always arrange your pen so that q
eve will never have to jump over
gate or a high board or run against
sharp corners. She should always
have plenty of exercise and access
to water and salt.
In order to give ewes exercise it
is a good plan to place feed and salt
some distance from the fold in order
that they will go to it,
If you haye not already provided
your lambing quarters divide one OF
the horse stalls or some other warm
place in the barn where the eyes can
be kept warm and cared for.
The wise shepherd will never leave
his flock day or night during the act
i've lambing season. Better have the
hired man look after them in the
day time and attend to them at night
yourself.
Do not attempt to assist the eve
too much in lambing. Let nature take

FERTILITY MEANS
VALUABLE ASSET
Qualifying Conditions of the Soil
Are in Great Measure Under
Control of Farmer.

The fertility Of the soil is not like
bank account, which is tangible, In
sight, can be drawn out at one or
more times or at will Of the deposit
ors, says the American Cultlvator.
The soil is an investment with many
qualifying conditions, viz: Available
plant food, physical condition and
moisture.
These are in great measure under
the control of the farmer. lnasmuch
as no plant has the ability to make
something out of nothing, each crop
grown of necessity must take avail
able plant food out Of the soil which
never come back in most cases. In
figuring the cost of production the
value Of the plant food taken should
be charged against the crop just as
much as that added in way of manure
or chemicals.
In our experience in footing the
cost of production we have charged
the loss OF plant food against tins
crop grown in proportion to the yield
In the legumes we have credited the
crop with the added nitrogen. And
that is not all-the improved physical
condition of the soil has value that
cannot be measured.
liz we are not going to charge the
crop with the lost fertility that we
should not credit it with the added.
Rotation of crops may enable US for a
time to grow profitable crops, but
sooner or later our children or their
children will pay the penalty. Fertil-
ity means valuable asset in the
farmers hands.

freely express themselves than has been possible
heretofore The organization has today given
out tentative rules that are to be submitted to
its members before final adoption, and the pro-
visional committee desires constructive criticism
from all those who believe that this new party
has a sphere separate and distinct from either
of the old parties.
They aim to maintain party integrity not SO
much through individual candidates as by keep
ing faith with the voters Every Progressive Of

TRY SOMETHING new

Every political row in Hawaii seems to bring
IN another mainland 0ffce-hOldeF.
The Republican scrap over the revenue col
lector's office; the Democratic scrap over the
district attOrneyship and the latest mbr0glio
over the Honolulu postmastership, resulted in
selections from the mainland. But for the pro-
vision of the organic act which limits choice of
governors to bona fide residents of Hawaii, the
gnbernatorial fight might have had different
ending. Always there are senator's and repre-
sentatiyes with political debts at home to pay,
and always they are on the alert for an oppor-
tunity to pay. them al the expense.Of some other
section of the country. With Hawaiian Demo
Gratis clawing and yowling at each other, it is
not to be wondered that Congress believes in
some the interests of efficiency and justice
will be preserved by sending here officials in
v0lyed in no partisan fights and identified with
no partisan factions.
President Wilson's record during his few
months in office ought to be conclusive proof
that he investigates candidates with extreme
care, makes up his mind for himself, and at all
times has the firmness to stand by his cnnyic
ton and the political power and adroitness
to carry his point with the senate. Protests
against the men he has chosen and nominated
so far have fallen flat, and those protesting
have been made to look foolish.
Why cannot tie politicians of Hawaii for
once try the method of ceasing their protests
when the president makes his nomination and
of giving the nominee a fairopportunity to show
his worth?
