good milking qualities of the COWS is
usually a good growthy calf. The
Herefords and Angus are good grazers
and will do we'll under range condi-
tlons, as we'll as on the small farm.
The Hereford stands ahead Of all
breeds as a range animal, but the
Angus have the advantage over all
breeds in the feed-lot, as they finish
out very smoothly, are high in quality
and kill out high percentage Of mar
ketable meat. The Devon Is slower Of
growth than the other breeds. but are
great rustlers and fatten on pastures
which are 80 thin that some Of the
beef breeds could hardly subsist. The
Red Polled is dual purpose breed
which ranks next to the milking strain
of Shorthorns in the production Of
milk and beef. They are not as well
known. nor as popular as the Short
horn, but have done we'll wherever
tried in the South. Any Of the breeds
cross we'll with the native cattle, and
can be used advantageously in breed
ing up the scrub herds.

Inventor of Steel Rails.

The first modern steel rails Of the
type which made high speed railway
operation possible were designed by
Plimmon Henry Dudley, who was born
at Freedom, o., seventy-one years ago.
He became a civil and metallurgica1
engineer, and after four years as chief
engineer of the city Of Akron, O., he
turned his attention to railroading and
transportation problems.
Dudley's first invention, the dyna-
graph, was made in 1874. He perfect
ed the track indicator in 1880 and
three years later designed the first
five-incb steel rails used In America In
1892 he introduced the first stx-inch
10O-pound rails. Another Of his inven-
tions which made the famous flyers
OF today possible was the stremmato-
graph, an instrument for obtaining and
registering strains in rails under NOV
ing trains

Railroads everywhere have been
forced by public opinion to adopt the

make the most stringent regulations
for the protection Of passengers. One
road which had had number OF ac'

compelled to reorganize its entire
signal system, as result of public
feeling after disclosures Of a con-

BOGUS ARGUM ENT.

From Noah down, men have used
and abused intoxicants, but that Sig
nifies nothing whatever. From Noah
>down, men have done all sorts OF fool
Ahtngs-- and as to some OF the things
have gradually learned that they were
follies and so eschewed them. George
Washington drank rum before break
fast. There Is no more reason for
sticking to Georges rum than for cup
ping and bleeding patients for every
illness. That normal human nature
does not need alcohol we know from
the millions Of men and women who
do without it-and female human ma
ture has always been able to subsist
without getting drunk. The histor1-
cal argument is bogus. The moder-
ate drinker need not be considered
at all; for II man is truly a moder-
ate drinker, alcohol is OF such slight
account to him that its presence or
absence can make no difference

MANAGE SHEEP ON PASTURES
Where Grazing Is Plentiful Animals
Can Feed on What Is Most Pala.
table to Them.

The ideal way to manage sheep on
pastures is to have them Craze one pas.
ture down reasonably and then put
them on another pasture until the first
springs up again. In this way, says a
writer in Homestead, the pasture is
kept fresh and sweet. But In practise
it may be frequently impossible to do
this. However, where the rearing Of
sheep is an important part of the farm
er's business 1t can be done to some
extent.
When pastures get far ahead of
sheep they should be grazed down If
possible with cattle. In such a condi-
tion the sheep will not Craze down the
grass that has become rank and
woody. By preference they will feed
upon those parts where the grass Is
short. In such places 1t is shorter and
sweeter than elsewhere. Where it is
not practicable to Craze 1t down with
cattle it ought to be moved II pos
sible. Whether 1t should be left to
mulch the ground or drawn off should
be determined by the quantity Of the
grass and It's value for hay When
thus cut off fresh and nutritious grass
springs up In its place.
Some object to grazing sheep with
other stock. Much depends upon the
way In which this is done. II the pas
ture Is large and not in any way over
stocked, there Is probably no objection
to the plan, bat, should the pasture be
overstocked or should the sheep be rel
atively too numerous, then the cattle
will be worsted in the grazing. Sheep
eat more closely than cattle and can
do we'll on shorter pasture. Where the
grazing is plentiful sheep can feed
upon what is most palatable to them
and the cattle eat what they relish
most. Sheep will eat off many weeds
that cattle avoid and in this way they
help to clean the pastures.
For winter grazing long pastures are
the best. They are best for the reason
that they protect the grass underneath,
so that when the sheep are grazing
they get some grass with more or less
succulence in it, along with what Is
dead.

Ne Is always afraid ne may issue
the dread "Lap-order." which may
cause a head-on collision.
the movement Of trains and the lives
OF persons carried by them Is the
train dispatcher-a telegraph operator
chosen for this work because of his
mathematical ability, his steady
nerves, good habits, executive Qualifi-
cations and knowledge Of railroading.
The dispatcher Is an Official con-
trolling from one hundred to three
hundred miles of track, and every
thing running over 1t. He knows the
hauling power Of every locomotive,
the length OF every siding. the grade
oSevery stretch OF track. and the abil-
ity to make time" Of every engineer
and conductor. He signs the superin-
tendent's initials to his orders, and Is
in direct charge of the operation OF
trains.
Thus the dispatcher's responsibility
is far more than to keep the trains
apart, he must get them over the road
at the maximum OF speed consistent
with safety. and see that every work
train, extra freight and every light
locomotive is kept moving without
accident. On a big train sheet he
keeps tally of everything that travels
between stations, and as each station
operator reports trains arriving or de-
parting, the dispatcher marks the
time on his sheet.
Special trains, extra freights, help
er locomotives and work trains are
some of the things that turn the dis
patcher's hair gray, or make 1t fall
out. He always is afraid he may for
get one Of them, and issue the dread
ed clap order" which may cause a
head-on collision.

GOOD TIME TO WEAN LAMBS
Wisconsin Expert Recommends Young
eters Be Taken Away From Mothers
When Four Months Old.

A large percentage Of the mortality
of lambs and the poor condition IN
which ewes in far too many fiocks go
into the winter season is due to the
mistake Of allowing the lambs to run
with their mothers until late in the
fall or until they wean themselves 10
the belief Of Frank Kleinbeinz, shep-
herd of the flocks maintained by the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
He recommends that after the lambs
have had the benefit Of their mothers
milk for from four to four and one-half
months they be taken away and placed
on fresh pasture. This, besides keeping
down the most common of sheep para
sites-the stomach worm--will give
the ewes an opportunity to be in a
strong, vigorous condition at breeding
time. This means that large per-
centage of lambs of more uniform
size will be born from the flock the
following spring. The common ptac-
tise Of separating the lambs from the
ewes for two or three days at weaving
time and then turning them back
again, so that the lamb may remove
the milk that has accumulated in its
absence, is condemned because of the
danger that lambs may scour after
drinking this abnormal milk.
The eve should be MIXED out as oft
en- as necessary after weaving time to
prevent the udder from caking. This
should be done until the ewes are all
dry, and to hasten the drying up they
should be placed on scant pastures for
about eight or ten days. In ADDITION
to plenty Of green pasture, the lambs
should be furnished small quantity
of grain to prevent any possible check
in their growth.

SUPERIOR HOUSE FOR s0Ws
Individual Cot Affords Protection From
infectious Diseases-Can Be
Easily Moved.

We desire to make plea for the
individual house We like them fGT
the sew and her brood especially. 1t
has the advantage of keeping each
sow from being disturbed by the 9TH
ers. Neither will her pigs get lost and
wander into other pens where they
may rob other pigs or stand a good
chance of being injured by the SOW.
Then there will not be so much dan
ger from infectious diseases. When
the surroundings become foul the cot
can be removed to another place. or
course it may mean more work for the
owner to attend the sows separated
in different houses scattered about the
place, but 1t will be better for the
farmer to do the extra work as he will
save enough in the health and
growth of his young pigs to more than
pay him for his efforts. The building
of the individual cot should be coneid-
cred. There should be window for
light and sunshine, also side door
that can be lifted OH warm days for
ventilation. For this reason we like
the A-shaped house best of all. A
small window can be put in one end
just over the door and a hinged door
placed on the side with little trouble.
The frame for this cot can be made
of 2x4 material and the sides can be
sheathed, papered and covered with
flooring. This makes warm cot for
winter use We prefer the dirt floor
with woven wire stretched on top to
keep the SOW from roofing. If the
floor is we'll bedded with straw it will
be soft and easy on the SOW and her
brood. Some farmers put concrete

have been searching for the last
two months for the criminal who has
been giving the regulation whistle for
the departure Of trains from the depot
at regular hours and thereby endanger-
ing the traffic. Several trains were
sent off before their time by these
whistles, and had to be called back,
while in some cases collisions were

hard on the feet and bodies of the
hogs. They are also cold and gather
dampness. This may mean the death
of the entire brood Of pigs, and sowe
are liable to take cold by lying on
them. If concrete be used it should be
covered with plank, leaving space
between the plank and concrete of an
inch or two. But board floors are ex

to whitewash the inside Of the hog

adds materially to the light. The sun

spicuous figure in the fatherland, En-
peror Wilhelm, whose good advice to
the naval cadets to let alcohol alone
