THE LITTLE TIME

Little time for peace, dear,
Little time for strife,
And just a very little time
To be in love with life.
But ere that little time is gone,
May love still pin the violets on.
But for this little time, dear,
So swiftly passing by,
I'll weave a grateful rhyme, dear,
And thankful live and die,
But ere that times forever gone
May love still pin the violets on

HOPE THEY ARE RIGHT

An exchange says it is the asser-
ton Of all the celebrated local wealth
er prophets that the first three days
Of the new year govern the re-
naming 1862. If this proves to be
correct then certain it is that 1915
will furnish more pretty days than
have appeared on the calendar for
many moons, for the first three
could not have been improved upon.

The extreme degree Of variation
under which sheep are kept, combined
with the varying amount of care
which different farmers are accus.
toned to give a small flock of ewes
renders it difficult to make definite
estimate Of the amount of income
which may be reasonably expected
from a flock of fifteen ewes on an
average Kentucky farm.
It is a lamentable fact that the
farmer east Of the Missouri river
has come to look upon the sheep as
a scavenger, deserving little atten-
ton. For the past twenty years il
has been the practice to sell out
when the prices have been low, only
to buy again with the return Of high
prices. The disastrous effect Of such
practice on financial success is
obvious.
The element of care has been the
limiting factor to profitable sheep
husbandry. 1t has been said that if
women on the farm would give a
small flock of sheep the care and
attention which they annually give
the turkeys and hens, they would re-
ceive more FOR their labor and feed,
and would receive it in lump sum.
A certain Kentucky farmer renders
the following account, showing the
income from a small flock Of sheep:
Aug. 10, 1913. II ewes pur-
chased representing an in
vestment of .......... IS 1850
July, 1914. The lambs a
61ac per pound brought 125.00
1914 wood crop, 100 pounds,
q Zoe per pound, brought 24.00
Total income -. $4,000
Income per eve -. 8.76
Another farmer tells the follow
ng story:
Flock Of 13 ewes.
1914. % lambs averaging SO pounds,
.@61ac per pound, brought $143.52
1914. Wool crop, rs pounds,
a 22c per pound, brought 17.16
Total income $3.50. 6S
Income per eve :. 1896
Owing to the fact that farmers do
lot generally keep a record Of the
'eed consumed, and to the fact that
iheep are often pastured on land Of,
title or no value for other purposes,
t is difficult in all cases to determine
,osts Of production.
In addition to the money value |
derived from a small flock of sheep, |
hould be added the labor through |
he activity Of the sheep in keeping |
own Che weeds. Another factor |
Vhich should not be overlooked, is
he regenerating influence Of the
manure on the land. Many a weed
nfested farm has been brought to a
rofitable state Of cultivation
trough the fructifying properties of
heep manure.
The figures given are from flocks
'hich are above the average in
in general thrift, and were
wned by men who were willing to
i've them the necessary care. Un-
er ordinary farm conditions in Ken
lcky, a flock of fifteen ewes being
Maintained as a mutton proposition,
18th wool as by-product, should
ring in a total income of at least
ne hundred dollars per year.

FOREIGN POLICY
 CAUSED DELCASSE TO RESIGN PORT

Paris, Oct. 14-Theophi1e Delcasse, who resigned yesterday from the of fee of foreign minister. in his letter of resignation did not assign poor health as the reason for leaving the cabinet but rather dissensions be- tween himself and other ministers in regard to the French foreign policy. says the Radical. This letter, which Premier Viviani refused yesterday to read in the chamber of deputies, re- calls certain facts, discussion of which the censor forbids.
 The resignation of M. Delcasse has produced a profound effect upon the French public although it has been known for some time that there was friction between him and the rest of the cabinet. The press generally abstains from comment, but what lit tie is said is hostile to the retiring minister.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1903-Joe Grimm stayed six rounds with Bob F'itzsimmons at PhiIadeI- pI1ia- Ruby Robert tried hard to put the durable little Italian down for the count, but he could not do it. At that, Bob was not disgraced, for many other heavyweights had tackled the same job, and had failed to de- liver the goods. Grimm seemed to be made of rubber, and every time he was knocked down he bounced right up again, taking his punishment with 3, smile and seemingly suffering no i'll effects During his six-round affair with F'itz the durable Joe was knock ed down eight or ten times, but he a1- ways got up. About two years later Jack Johnson had 8 whack-severaI whacks, in fact-at Grimm, but he was no more successful than Bob and at the end of the sixth cha pter Joe was still on his feet. In 1903 Joe went to the Pacific Coast and fought Al Kaufman at Oakland, and although Al got the decision, Joe wasn't put away.
