FARM ANIMALS
TIMELY HINTS OF sHEEproLD
Animals of Medium Grade Lack cendi- ton and Quality Necessary to
 Bring Best Market Prices.

Why are pure-bred sheep the best for mutton? Because both lambs and sheep of the medium grade lack the condition and quality necessary to bring the best price- the market.
 Poorly bred s, .s as a rule have long. loosely-coupled bodies with It. tie spring Of rib and rough outline, and are coarse and often paunchy. This class of animals Is not desirable. and market buyers make the best Of their bad points.
 A good thing to remember when lambing time comes on: A lamb that is so badly chilled that it appears to be dead. may be revived by pouring down its throat a half pint of warm milk. into which a tablespoonful of gin has been poured. lf there is DO gin in the house. dip the lamb in a tubful of warm water. dry it off with a rough cloth and place it near the stove. Get some warm milk into its stomach, if possible. and in a few minutes it will be as frisky as ever.
 A bunch of sheep will clean up the cornfield in which the stalks are left standing in fine shape They strip off the blades and pick up every kernel of stray corn left on the ground.
 The great loss of lambs is. in some instances. due almost entirely to the fact that the ewes are allowed to run down and become weak before wean- ing time.
 The quality of the market lamb de- bends largely upon the first four weeks of its life. Given a good boost then, he will. with reasonably good care, prove very satisfactory at mar ket time.
 If sheepmen will take the pains to dip their sheep at least twice before the winter sets in they will save much loss from ticks and scab. This takes time and some trouble. of course. but it pays.
 Many farmers have the idea that after sheep are shorn. the ticks Will abandon them. Certainly they do to some extent. bus they immediately go to the lambs. where they find a com fortable nest and make life a burden to the youngsters. Buy dipping tank and dip regularly twice a year.

The Judiciary Committee of the Senate reported favorably upon the Duty and Moore bills to pay Judge w r. Kirby and the estate of James H. IIarrod S12.5OO each for services ren. dered in the rate cases. This com. mittee also returned the Jones and Duty public utility commission bills without recommendation. and the au- thors of these bills introduced substi- tutes upon which the committee also failed to make recommendation. The authors of the bills have eliminated the objectional features about railroad bonds and the sections regulating local public service corporations, but they are still apart on the manner in which the commission is to be selected. The Jones bill extends the powers of the Arkansas Railroad Commission, while the Duty bill makes the commission appointive.

WILSON IS HIGHLY PRAISED
Statement Issued By German Chancel' Tor That kaiser's Submarines Can't
 Always Know Neutral Ships.

Paris.-America's reply to Ger many's blockade notification has brought forth chorus of praise from the principal writers in the French press. Even George Clemenceau, who hitherto has been disposed to criticise President Wilson, says the president has spoken the words the American people expected in such way that Germany has no alternative but to back down. Gabriel Hanotaux says in the Figaro:
 The American note to Germany is an act of high historic initiative and the first step toward the inevitable participation of neutrals in the great events which are dividing the world President Wilson was obliged to pass from discussion to action. What do the measures mentioned in the note mean but that the American warships will fall upon German submarines at tacking American ships in total disre gard of America's sovereign rights :? Either Germany can give in or she can disregard Washington's note and go on with her plan to force England to capitulate. Then President Wilson would not recede from his position"
 The proposal made by Count vos Bernstorff, the German ambassador to the United States, that Germany would withdraw its blockade order if the im- port of food were permitted by Eng land arrived in Paris too late for com. ment, but the newspapers caption the announcement: Official German Blackmail"

In taking issue with the Budget

In taking issue with the Budget Committee in cutting down appropria- tions asked for the University. Judge w. E. Hemingway said:
 Tt is said the state is poor and funds not available. If 90 wealth should be increased and the way to do it is to teach methods of agricul rure. Show the men engaged in creai. ing wealth how he can create more in day how he can avoid waste; how he can make his time count more and add to the value of land that Is now being wasted. This is an investment which yields profits in the develop ment of resources, in increasing values and in creating prosperity. The re suits to be gotten are not fanciful, i'm probable or imaginary. They have been gotten in other states by the very methods employed by the uni versity. They have not increased tax rates. They have made property to be taxed, and while increasing the rev enues, they have added many times more to the wealth of the taxpayers
 This work can be done by the uni yersity and it cannot be done except by university. It has been done by them in other states and no state has established such conditions except by a university.
 "The appropriation asked is meager to sustain the institution at it's pres ent standard The reduction contem- plated will make it necessary to dis charge a number of the faculty and az ricultural workers now at work. Main tenance items are to be cut out en- tirely, or so reduced as to make the work valueless almost"
