cannot be learned; the fog Of war
hides these facts. Every now and
then some member Of the nsurgent
party gets up in parliament and says

taken into the confidence Of the lead

Everybody says, "How interesting!"
The mad member sits down again and
that ends it.
But just transfer the situation TO
Washington and see whether our con-
gressmen and senator's wouldn't be
mad, too, under the circumstances.
Suppose the United States were at
war with some foreign nation and
suppose that:
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan and Speaker Champ Clark and
all the Democratic leaders shut up as
tight as CLAIMS and wouldn't tell any
body in Congress what they were do
ing. And suppose that:
The President and Bryan and Clark
called into their councils Senator Boies
Penrose and "Uncle joe Cannon and
Elihu Root and all the leaders of the
Republican Opposition" and planned
with them what should be done, but
still refused to tell The Democratic
members Of parliament what was do
my. And suppose that:
The Democratic members of Con-
gress called Bryan and Daniels and
Garrison before them, demanding in
formation about what the state de-
partment and the navy and the army
were doing, and these gentlemen said,
in effect:
we can't tell you what we're doing.
Ii wouldn't be wise"
Wouldn't Congress be mad?
And suppose that Wilson was able
to keep the lid down on the angry
speech Of all the Democrats, and Boies
Penrose and "Uncle joe Cannon
helped him, wouldn't Congress be still
madder?
That's exactly the situation of the
members Of the English parliament.

would be Democrats, and the Union

Republican party, have this anger

the PROGRESS OF the AGE

1t is hard to realize that it is
only eleven years since the
Wright Brothers of Dayton, Ohio,
first took their flying machine to
the Sand dunes of kittyhawk, Car
DINA and made their first sue
cessful flight in the air. They
were able to remain in the air for
three minutes. That was ON De-
cember 18th, 1908. Now the fate
of armies and nations is largely
depednent upon the flying ma
chine lowering over the battles
and the manoeuvres of Europe.
What will be the development of
the machine in the next decade ?
Five years ago The. N. w. A.
gathered statistics as to the num-
Der of automobiles that were then
owned by the farmers of the
Northwest; and we found and
boosted of the fact that one farm
er out of. every forty-four owned
an automobile. Within the last
year, we have again made similar
investigation, and we find that one
farmer out of every four owns an
automobile. We shall not be sur
prised if the next time we inves-
tigate we shall.discover that most
of the farmers are navigating the
air in their aeroplanes carrying
in their pockets their wireless
telephones with which they can
speak at will to any possessor of
a similar instrument within a
thousand miles. This is certainly
an age of rapid progress.

sheep is a natural cleaner and
they will clean the fence rows and
bitches Of nearly every weed.
During the hottest and dryest
months. a few acres of fresh pas
ture will be relished by the flock
and will give the spring lamb q
great growth. It has been often
argued that sheep cannot be safe
~ pastured on one piece Of, ground
year after year. We have a pas
ture Of forty-five acres which has
pastured flock for fifteen eonse-
cutive years, and it is more fer
tile now than ever. Occasionally
when worms infest a flock it be-
comes necessary to move the
sheep to fresh pasture. If other
precautions are taken this is NOT
necessary.
Good Glover or alfalfa hay fol-
winter feed is hard to beat. The
feeding of the breeding ewes is
so important part of the shep-
herds work. Roots are fine feed
but are not absolutely necessary
Our flocks generally receive all
the bright clover hay they want
throughout the winter. Toward
Landing time we commence feed
ing oats. Our ewes have always
lamber without trouble and have
had plenty of milk for their lambs
No farmer who is contemplating
the purchase of a few ewes can
afford to delay his purchase on
account of the cost of prepara-
ton. 10 provide proper shed room
and adequate fencing on most
farms in the Northwest would not
call for great outlay of cash. A
small flock of ewes already, in
lamb purchased at this time OF
year can be wintered without the
purchase of additional winter
feed.
The wool clip promises a good
demand at an extra price, and thu
money comes in at time when
most farmers have but little cash
income. The lamb crop will re-
turn a good portion of the pur-
chase price of the ewes-By C. w
Chandler.

the sEoInNERs,s FLOCK
OF Fifteen EWES

Owing to the gradual increase
in price of mutton and wool many
farmers are seriously considering
before the purchase of their first
flock of breeding ewes. At the
present time wool is much higher
than last spring. Australia, which
ful nishes a large portion of the
worlds wool supply, reports that
it's wool crop will be far below
that of last year.
The prospective breeder must
decide first on how large flock to
begin with. All older breeders who
have started as we say, from
the ground up" advocate begin
ming with a small number if the
farmer has had 10 experience in
handling sheep.
We have known many farmers
who, without preparation of any
kind, have purchased from forty
to hundred ewes for their first
flock and have turned them into
some pasture to rustic for them
selves. The men who start in this
way areS generally disappointed
with the sheep business. A flock
of breeding ewes does require
some care; and unless they have
it at certain times they are apt
to prove poor money makers. Fiji
teen ewes given proper care will
often make greater financial re-
turn than forty that are care
lessly managed.
Breeding ewes must have q
good supply of clean water. Sheep
are not heavy drinkers, but are
very particular about where anG
what they drink. 1t is possible
when there is snow on the ground
all through the winter, to force
them to eat enough snow for theil
water; but this is certainly g
questionable practice.
Dry and warm .lambing quar-
ters are essential. A young lamt
is rather delicate for the first few
hours. After the lamb is dry and
has received it's first supply OF
nutrition from the mother, the
little one can stand almost any a.
mount of cold. Most barns already
have some pens in them that are
very suitable for lambing time
Close and constant attention by
the shepherd to the ewes at this
time means dollars to the FLOCK
owner.
Although sheep are very easily
fenced, yet when a few ewes be-
come "breachy'' they are big
nuisance. A flock is so easily fenc-
ed that many try to get along with
practically no fence at all. This
practice makes poor neighbors
Woven wire has come to be the
ideal fence for all stock on the
farm. 1t need not be heavy for the
flock.
So far as pasture is considered,
flock of ewes will often thrive
where other stock will not. The
