Champion Southdown Ram and Eve.

limit the number. You can then fill ] in with good grade ewes that will not cost much, but which will bring good lambs, if your ram is first class. Breed the grade ewes to the pure bred ram and when the lambs are dropped make wethers of the rams and sell them off
 The best of the eve lambs can be kept and by closely observing the rule of elimination, keeping only the choic- est. the flock will quickly improve. The weeding-out system should be carried into the pure-bred ewes as well. and every lamb that is not up to the mark should be disposed of. Culls. even if puve bred. should go to the block.
 Sell the pure-bred rams for breed ing purposes, as they will always bring good prices.
 Breed the pure-bred ewes when about a year old, and always select the best of their lambs to be added to the flock.
 It is interesting work. this breed ing up flock of pure blood sheep. and it pays excellently we'll for the time and money spent. In fact, there is no other animal which the man of moderate means can raise that will do the farm as much good and bring in as much clean money.
 Your sheep must always be we'll cared for, summer and winter.
 Have a place where they can get under cover quickly in the event of sudden storms, which are likely at this season of the year. A structure of this kind should be more than roof; 1t should be so deep that the sheep can get far enough under so that the storm cannot possibly reach them. It should also be hooded shed; that is, some provision should be made for low front that will break the storm.
 If this is not feasible. a good way is to build up straw stack or stack of cornstalks in the open in front of the open part of the shed, but several feet away so that the sheep will not feel they are penned in. yet can read fly get in by going aground the stack on the other side.
 The floor should be dry at all times. and it is an excellent plan to have more or less roughage which the sheep may munch over to keep them happy and contented.
 It is not intended that this shed be more than a place of cover in case of storm. The barn or stable should be the regular home and arranged for comfort.
 The subject of marketing is one of the greatest importance and quite another story.

The Anti-Nuisance bill introduced by Representative woods of Sebastian, while based upon the Tennessee lav for the punishment of blind tigers, IS even more drastic in it's provisions. The author added: 'I am after the men higher up in the violation of the state liquor laws. Where juries might, in some instances, be reluctant to re- turn verdict against man because he happens to be wealthy, the chancel- Tor is given the power to act. It is no longer question of juries, but one of Chancery or Circuit Court judges, and it is no longer a question of a small fine, but question of a jail sentence. After a place of business is once or dered closed until this nuisance bill it will be contempt of court to reopen it for the illegal sale of liquor, and if it is reopened the punishment will be term of Imprisonment. It is easy enough to pay little fine of S100 or so for violating the liquor law, but when man understands that he is face to face with a jail sentence he will go slow in violating the law" The bill makes the possession of a govern ment license for the sale of liquor in dry territory prima facie evidence that the owner has been guilty of break ing the law. Even the records of the revenue officers, showing that a license has been issued to an individual would be competent evidence against a per son accused of violating the statute against the sale of liquor.
