The following practical article on
raising market lambs was read by Mr..
]. Withers, an experienced breeder,
before the Farmers Club of Western
Ohio. He says:
Begin with the ewes before the
breeding season. For two or three
weeks put them on better feed. The
best have found for this is rape pas
ture. Let the ewes run on the rape
for an hour twice a day when the for
age ia free from rain for the first few
days until they get accustomed to it.
This will put them in good flesh and
in shape to raise vigorous lambs.
/ always raise a few acres of turnips
and these / feed regularly twice day
during the winter. in connection with
ground oats and wheat bran. About

Seed Culture

Seed from thrifty plants may be cx-
pected TO produce plants Tree from
leaf blight. provided the cultural and
growth conditions are favorable. And
il the thrifty plant from which the
seed was taken was one that grew
in blight-infccted field, the fact that
it was thrifty under those conditions
and surroundings, shows that ii has
unusual blight-resisting quality
If cultural growth conditions are
unfavorable, blight is liable TO occur
even when the seed came from 4
thrifty plant.
For unfavorable culture and growth
conditions weaken the plant so that
it can no longer resist disease.
Favorable conditions result from
planting in moist but 'crumbly' soil,
packed hard around the seed but
left loose on top. If the soil is not
brought in close contact with the
seed. the plant is delayed in starting
and If the soil is not loose on top the
plant may have started quickly but is
delayed when it seeks TO break
through the crust OF the soil. Delay
from either cause weakens the plant;
just as retarded growth weakens an
animal.
If cultivation is kept up after plant
ing the seed in moist soil, the soil Will
continue to be light and loose; but
about every eight days thereafter
more water will be required. Make
burrows between the rows with list
er and irrigatc just enough to make
4 wet strip about foot wide on each
side so as not to have the water run
ming up TO and around the vines.
This makes the soil moist around the
roots OF the plants. but not wet or
puddlcd. Ii is wet and somewhat
puddled in the furrow only. With
this kind of irrigating the surface OF
the ground will be in condition to
cultivate ii in day or Two and il
should then be cultivated. This forms
mulch and this mulch should be
kept so by cultivation again when
ever required until ii is time to irri-
gate again. When it is time to irri-
gate there must be no delay. II the
moisture in the soil falls below a
certain amount tho plants will wilt.
Plants so cultivated and so irrigat-
ed send their roots deep into the soil
and the more soil the roots reach the
more plant food they get.
On the other hand, ii the soil is
over irrigated so that it is saturated
with water where the roots are. this
excess of water drives the air from
the soil and roots stop growing un-
til the excess disappcars-Geo. X.

one quart for each sheep. with as
much hay as they will eat up clean, is
sufficient
When the lambs are less than a
week old they will begin to eat little
grain. The ewes must then be fed
more literally. ] generally have a
place where the lambs can be fed by
themselves and then give them ground
oats and little bran in the morning,
with cornmeal and bran at night.
always give feed of roots during
the day. By this method have raised
lambs which have dressed rs pounds

following points in mind: Give plenty
of clean water; dip in late summer;
keep clean and in a good dry barn;

Los MeIoneros Junta de Espanol


Our Spanish reporter is responsible
for the following:
The Spanish Club on Tuesday even
ing closed very profitable five months
session of study. The members were
pleasantly entertained by Brigadier
General Carranza Guillermo Goblin.
The serving of refreshments brought
forth lengthy discussions for "peace at
any price, or at least that ice cream
and cake should not be considered con-
traband, and that the motto of the club
should be there is no road to learn
ing"
General Huerta Norman Todd with
great sincerity informed the club that
his ''forgettery" needed neither gaso-
line nor sparkling, and with an air of
''the boy stood on the burning deck"
gently murmured "Amigos aqui esta
un hombre, and think it is refiexive." !"
The renowned and warlike General
Villa Claude Lawrence acknowledged
that General Sherman's version of war
was, and is, muy correcto, but what
General Lawrence wishes to sabe is
why the Spanish grammars fail to'con-
jugate "have saw especially when
the sentence is direct object, No es
verdad?
President Diaz Newell Bowman told
US that during his exile of two weeks
in Bleeding Kansas he greatly felt the
loss of the soft Spanish tones emitted
by General Todd and General Lawrence,
and that as a consolation he purchased
two Spanish periodicos and greeted the
news with uni amor, mi corazon.
President Bowman says those maya
zines were quite as enlightening as
"have saw" and 81 seen it," Yo
creo que 81.
Brigadier General Carranza Guillermo
Goblin, the host, related the fact that
his Tomaso Gatito while great war
rior is also the most learned cat this
side of the Rio Grande. Tomaso re-
spends to Spanish greetings but finds
it difficult to decline catnip and cream.
General Goblin says Tomaso is an active
transitive verb and Sc habla espanol
siempre..
Ell Honorable Senior Kaiser Oscar
Recker has been with us but short
period and so has not had time to earn
many epaulets and laurels, but at the
pace Ell Senior Kaiser is launching his
submarines with "Humbres" he is
likely to be in Spanish waters muy
pronto.
Governor Maytorena Ruble of Ola
Mexico says he sometimes wonders
whether his companions, the noted
caballeros, are speaking pure Castilian
or whether it may not be plain dog
latin Quien sabe?
| President Diaz offered the toast to
our mothers, "We drink to the woman
who places on the table the best pre-
serves for her husband and doesn't
save them for the visitor; she is an
angel and does not know it,"

STOP ALL CHANNEL TRAFFIC
State Department at Washington Told
That Danger to Life Prompted
Engiand's Action.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Al1 travel be-
tween England and the continent Of
Europe has been suspended by the
British admiralty until further notice,
according to advices received today at
the State Department.
Some State Department officials in
terpreted the suspension of travel as
referring to passengers, until there
could be some arrangement Of ship
schedules with protection of conveys,
but other officials believed it might
temporarily include all commercial in
tercourse across the English Channel.
The suspension by the British ad-
miralty probably will affect trans-At-
1antic traffic considerably, though the
lack OF definite information as to Eng
lands retaliatory measures against
the German submarine campaign rem
dered it difficult for officials to fore
cast what the exact results of the or
der would be.

Wheeling, W. Va, Feb. 17.-F1oyd
Peter of Burlington, w. Va, a cou-
sin of the late C. F. Peter, who repre-
scented the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
in the West Virginia legislature for
many years, testified today in the
hearing of charges against Federal
Judge Dayton.
The witness said Peter had told him
that his duties were to prevent the
passage of laws detrimental to the
railroad. G. F. Peter had told him that
Judge Dayton had said he used infiu-
ence to obtain his appointment to the
federal bench
The witness further said that Judge

he had helped to get Judge Jackson
of the bench, and Judge Dayton in his
place.
Peter said Judge Dayton was plain
tiff in land suit pending against him
over the sale of coal lands.
Congressman Gard of the commit
tee hearing the case asked the wit
ness, 'Is this man (Dayton) drawing
salary as a federal judge and at the
same time traficking in coal and oil
Iands?"
The witness replied that he knew
only from hearsay.
Did you make the defense that this
land was sold to you by false represen-

judge?"
Yes, sir"

Ten years."

BEST KIND OF IcE-BREAKER
Folks Can't Help Feeling Acquainted
After They Have Enjoyed Hearty
Laugh Together.

A laugh is the best kind of ice
breaker for a party or social. Folks
can't help feeling acquainted after
they have had a good hearty laugh
together, no matter If they were all
strangers at first. A good way to
get the laugh started is to try a
laughing game.
Choose two captains and let them
select players for each side, the play
ers standing in two rows facing each
other as in a spelling match. When
everyone is ready, the hostess throws
an old felt hat on the floor between
the rows. II it falls crown up, all the
players in the line on the left must
begin TO laugh as heartily as possible
If anyone in the opposite line laughs
or even smiles, he must 90 over to the
other side. In three minutes the hat
is thrown again, and If It falls with
the brim up, the right line must laugh
and try to win back the players they
lost, and as many others as they can
coax into a smile. The game is con-
tinued till one side wins all the play
ers.

tip Of the longer end he made q
curved runner How our curiosity was
excited, and how We longed for the
pond to freezeI
Cold weather came at last and the
water froze- Then the two men took
the long pole and placed it on the
post, the rod forming a pivot on which
the pole swung. The runner rested
on the ice and we were told to take
hold Of the short handle. Father fas-
tened one pretty sled to the runner
and put Charlie on it. Then we pushed
and the sled just whizzed around in
a big circle
What fun we had all winter with
our ''whirligigI" Sometimes one OF
US would stOop down and hold on to
the runner and slide around, but our
parents told US We must not do this
for it wore out the shoes too fast.
1t was a fine way to learn to skate,
for one could hold to the pole while
the others turned it, learning first to
keep ones balance and then TO take
the stroke.
Other children were always coming
out from town t MAY with the "whirI-
igig" and it furnished US with amuse-
ment all winter when the ice was not
too deeply covered with snow. I think
We never as children had anything that
gave US more exercise and pleasure
than our "whirligig."
