PUREBRED SHEEP
BEST FOR MUTTON
Animals of Medium Grade Lack
Condition and Quality Neces-
Sary for Best Prices.

Why are purebred sheep the best
for mutton? Because both lambs and
sheep Of the medium grades lack the
condition and quality necessary to
bring the best prices on the market
Medium grade sheep as rule have
long, loosely coupled bodies with little
spring of rib and rough outline and
coarse and often paunchy Animals Of
this class are not desirable and mar
ket buyers make the most of their bad
points.
A good thing to remember when
Landing time comes on. A lamb that
is so badly chilled it appears to be
dead may be revived by pouring down
it's throat half a pint OF warm milk
into which a tablespoonful OF gin has
been poured.
If there is no gin in the house dip
the lamb in a tubful Of warm water,
dry it off with 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.

MADE POPULAR BY THE WAR
Newspaper Reader Calls Attention 20
the Extensive Use Of the Word
"MobiIze."

He was a talkative fellow, and
there was no denying him.
Now, that" he said. slapping his
open newspaper, lis one funny thing
come out of the war. Herei" he ex-
claimed, and held up the page, point
ing to an advertisement which read:
STRAW Hats Modified in Our Window
Tomorrow" "Of course" he continued,
''the newspaper reporter and the ad
writer can't report wedding or pro-
claim bargain sale these days with
out employing the lingo Of the mill
tary writer. The JOKE" he proceed.
ed, lis in the popular usage of this
here word mobilize lately come into
everybody's mouth. When a number
Of things Of any sort are got together
into bunch these days they are hui
morously said to be modified
But" he remarked, when a man
has a mobile face it is not because his
face is assembled. Doesn't anybody
remember" he asked, what the word
mobilize meant before the war? Well,
it means just the same today, and it's
meaning does not alter as military
term. The process OF putting an army
upon a war footing" he said, raising
his finger, "is called mobilization. That
is. together with certain other activi-
ties, the men actually in uniform and
in barracks are supplemented by the
reserves, and the army is turned from
an incomplete and, so to say, sta
tisnary condition, into complete con-
d3ion in which it is loosed from all
lCSal ties which hinder action. 1t is, in
sS)rt, rendered mobile.
81 overheard the other day. he want
on, "a remark which gave me light or
the cause, very probably, of the popu'
lar misconception of this lately greatly

other, The Italians have Modified,

though it were the word mob. And
there you are, the popular fancy, army
mob, grotesque notion!"

MANY READY FOR THE JOB
Advertisement That Might Seem Be-
You'd Reason Evidently Found
Considerable Readers.

There is accommodating evidence that
people read the advertising columns.
The other night a man telephoned an
advertisement for man to drive
car to the coast, says the Phoenix
(Afiz) Republican. Though there is
an easily recognizable difference be-
tween a car and a cow, it is not so
distinguishable by telephone, and the
young man in the Office understood
that the customer wanted cow driv-
en- to Los Angeles. 1t did not occur
to him that there was anything un-
usual in that means Of transporting .
COW so long a distance across the Cal
ifornia desert.
1t struck the linotype operator that
this was a little out of the ordinary,
but the operator, having not yet taken
out his annual city and county license
to change advertising copy, followed it.
Two days later the advertiser tele-
phoned again, this time for emenda-
ton, correction and relief. He said
that since the appearance of the ad-
vertisement thirty men had called on
him to get the job of driving that COW.
Many offered to back themselves with
testimonials as to their proficiency in
the art of handling cattle. Some Of
fered to furnish guarantees that they
would land the cow in Los Angeles
some time before Christmas.

The Unframed Soldier.

An interesting view of the status Of
the British army at the front is con-
tanned in a letter from a university
man serving in France:
THE battle of Neuve Chapelle found
us here with a relatively enormous
army. 1t resembled a physically per-
feet wrestler who didn't quite know
how to wrestle. To tell him how was
beyond the power of any man; that
was an art that could only be learned
by years of maneuvers on CO.
lossal scale, like the kaisers ma
neuvers, and those o. the pow
erful French army. No British
general, however much he may have
studied, has ever had so great a mass
Of men to deal with. To me the won.
der is not that we did so badly, but
that we did so remarkably we'll. in the
circumstances. To place the blame
on Kitchener for not providing suffi-
cient high explosive SHELLS is a criti-
cism so highly fatuous that / should
like to hustle its inventor along the
thirty odd miles of British front, and
then treat him to dose of chlorine. I"

Women and Law.

"In their passionate desire for the
public good" says Margaret Deland.
the novelist, women seem to have
more heart and less head than men.
They seem to be more single minded.
but with all their earnestness there Is
a sentimentality, a lawlessness, an
emotional shallowness, lack OF thor
oughness in the way in which they
approach public questions which, quite
apart from the question Of doubling
the irresponsible vote, makes the mat
ter Of their exercising the suffrage
alarming
and in nothing is their shallow
ness more alarming than in their in
difference to law. The most majestic
thing humanity has evolved is surely
the abstraction called law.
THAT the administration OF law Is
defective is neither here nor there.
OF course 1t is defective. but the idea
itself. law itself, terrible and giori-
Gus, is the wonder Of time
That we, poor 'agglutinations OF
dust, as Stevenson calls US. that we
should have evolved law surely shows
us to be part of the Eternal Law that
is named Cod

Floor and Foundation of Storage Plant.

The storage OF fruit on the farm
is a problem which confronts many
growers. The delay in getting fruit
into storage after picking is the cause
of much loss through rapid deteriora-
ton. The experiment station at Ur-
bana, H., undertook work along this
line some time ago, and one Of the
experiments conducted on the farm of
l.. r. Bryant, near Princeton, has
proved successful in every way.
This storage room is in the north
end OF the basement Of barn, hav-
ing inside dimensions of z feet high.
16 feet inches wide, and 81 feet 4
inches long. The ice chamber is at
