Many farmers have the idea that
after sheep are shorn. the ticks will
abandon them. Certainly they do to
some extent, but they Immediately go

Portable nest and make life burden
to the youngsters. Buy dipping tank
and dip regularly twice : year.
Farmers in the South who 'taye
their lambs come along in February,
always find fat market for them in
June. and If they are ,articularly for
ward they are marketable a month
earlier.
The best breeding ewes are those
that are rather rangy, with good feed
ing capacity. This sort of an animal
will prove better feeder and bet
fer mother than the short pudgy type.
In buying ewes for breeding pur-
poses, do not pick the best looking
ewes in point of flesh. A man must
know how to choose breeding ewes.
just as he should know how to Judge
breeding SOW, or any other animal
on the farm, but to too many farmers
all sheep look alike.
Whenever a eve is discovered to
have an unsound mouth. she should
be fed at once for the market. IL
there ia any profit in grade ewes 1t
comes from the use Of pure-bred
ram.
While good breeding has much to
do with tendency to early breeding.
good feeding is also a very important
factor. Ewes that are we'll neshed
and thrifty will, as rule, take serv-
ice of the ram at almost any period
OF the year. -..--.....-.... -.
Early maturity of the lamb is where
the big profit comes in in raising them
for market. It's another case of the
early bird catching the worm.
The value of ewo can be more
nearly determined when she weans

the right way was only gone about. as
Providence intends.
In the first place, they must not
start in to think that romances spring
up from fiirtations, coquetry and a
liking from the first devotee that
crosses ones path. If the dissatisfied
could only get away from this unrea-
sonable belief, half the way would be
clear to search and find the one love
that is pleasing and to whom the
heart goes out to for certainty.
Il am not quite sure whether l love
him or if he truly loves me- is sell
dom ON the lips if the hearts are in
unison, the right chord touched. More
than one secret wish is: The one
great boon from heaven l crave is
just portion of true love of my own
Give me that devotedly and life would
be roseate and complete with happi-
ness. Is there any chance of this de-
votion being fulfilled? is the oft-re-
peated query.
Few stand In need of the answer
If the thinking cap is put on. If a
heart would go out to you with won
derful lasting love, search must be
made from where It is possible to win
one. Forget the little crosses that
you have had; hope for brightness
and that which can bring it to cross
your lonely lot. No matter where
you have an opportunity to go, start
with a pleasant look on your face,
light footstep and seek to become ac-
quainted with the good young people
who are there to welcome you. You
will have a pleasant hour or two,
and many times after you may see
che bright faces which beamed into
your own while friendship and love
won the day at last.
Make a promise and keep it, that
you will keep devotion's flame bright
for all time.
Let me give the girls timely hint
that earnestly want to marry well:
Don't take up with gay, debonair
free lance whom you innocently
thought to be just the opposite. You
will soon find out his tendencies, and,

him slip past you and persevere pa
tiently in searching out a newer, diff
ferent type of attraction. The secret
is plain. The man who makes girls
acquaintance while being a stranger
to her home folks and hiding the past
from those who introduce him, sup
posing that he is all right, never
should make that girl his wife with
out undeceiving her as to his wild
oats sowing She knows then wheth-
er she could put confidence in him
in the future or whether he would be
apt to lead her a pretty dance and
untold heart grief If she took the
chance of wedding him.
Women who will take their own
risks and believe that they can over
come any obstacle after marriage,
start, after leaving the altar, handi-
capped. Different might have been
fate had they not been easily salts
fled but taken time to have searched
for q love that they were convinced
was worthy of their own.

used to be under the impression
that very few bachelors would ever
marry. But in this respect l have
changed my mind. 1t is my belief that
there never yet was a man so sure
of his powers for unloving who lived
all of his years without some ro-
nance
He may never have had proof that
he had a heart fer someone until he
was aroused to the consciousness by
its sudden loss. Up to that hour of
awakening he supposed he was en-
joying his solitary existence immense
ly. There is no one to call his atten-
ton to his careless appearance when
he hustles to his breakfast with collar
and necktie on he had worn for days.
No one he would have to answer to
if she was in quarrelsome mood and
accused him of plunging at races, ex-
travagance in automobile treats,
whirling through space in airships.
and all that she fancied kept pace
with his restless nature.
The jolly bachelor is rot mystery
to those who observe him, yet only
know him from afar-a puzzle as they
| imagine him to be. More than one
suspects that his heart has been
pretty I'll pierced by loves flaming
| arrows. Like a public conveyance,
there is always supposed to be room
| for one more. Bachelors have been
known to call and have friendly lit
tie chat with former sweethearts once
in great while, but he don't care to
marry any of those who struck his
fancy SO that he was almost sure he
would be happy if he popped the ques-
ton.
After breaking off with a few who
that he is not half the gay. sought
after man, the would-be "catch" of the
fair sex, that he thought himself to
be. His opinion of himself has gone
down. He takes extra precaution not
to show his heart wounds to the I'M
feeling world He is sure to be
watched with pardonable curiosity
when he Is brought in contact with
the single of the fair sex. Habit is
everything with the bachelor; from
being free lance, angled for by fair
women. More than one pretty parlor
he has found irksome, tame, COM
pared to club, theater of mems
company. Most all bachelors have
their pet theories and mental pic
lures. Friends and old sweethearts
do not always cater to them
It is often, when he comes across
some poor, but honest, village or city
young woman, that his heart sudden
ly warns. She is his personification
of innocence. She treats all men sim
ply, with pleasantness. It's hard for
them to tell If she is given to par
TALLY toward every newcomer. Her
eyes are not like those who seek con
| quests, but have the bewitching un-
consciousness of girlhood.
Is it any wonder that bachelors be-
come good husbands when they meet
just the one whom their hearts have
craved fer? Then they jump to the
conclusion that it's good-by single life,
| forever.
