GOOD POINTS OF SHROPSHIRE
Ewes Are Excellent Mothers, Are Gen
tie and Easily Handled-Lamb Is
FaVorte in Market.

Mr.. Herbert E. Powell, Ionia, Mich,
in letter to Farm Home gives the
following reasons for his preference
for the Shropshire breed of sheep.
1. The Shropshire ewes are good
mothers under adverse conditions and
make friends of their keepers.
2. The Shropshires are the leading
attractions at the fairs in the sheep
department both as to numbers and
nice fitting. The Shropshire when
properly cared for makes fine pic
ture and is work of art either in pas
ture or the show ring.
8. The Shropshire is gentle, easily
handled and pet with the man fit to
care for sheep, and a great contrast
to the wild Merino.
4. The Shropshire lamb is the lead
ing favorite in the market, and sells to
the best advantage as soon as it is
large enough to dress well. The big
ger the lambs the better they sell,
provided they were well fatted. The

FARM
ANIMAL S
SHEEP KILL HARMFUL WEEDS
Generally Agreed Animals Eat All But
Few Of the Exceptionally I'm
palatabIe Varieties.
(By E. L. SHAW

1t has been estimated that sheep
will eat 80 per cent of all troublesome
weeds. They are, in fact, commonly
used in cleaning up weeds from fields.
fence rows, road sides, stubble fields,
and corn fields The common belief
among farmers is that weeds eaten
by sheep are so broken up in the
digestive processes that the seeds will
not terminate after passing through
stock However, weeds are rarely
permitted to go to seed if enough
sheep are turned in tie field while
the weeds are young and tender.
In some Investigations carried on by
the Canadian government among
considerable number of sheepmen to
determine the kinds of weeds eaten by
sheep, it was generally agreed that
sheep would consume all but a few
exceptionally unpalatable ones, such
as MULLEN, Scotch thistle, etc.
Where sheep have been kept, but
where for some reason they have been
disposed of, striking difference has
usually occurred in the appearance Of
the farm. Weeds have sprung up and
grown where they had formerly been
kept in check. There is no better so
luton to the weed problem than a
flock of sheep.
In economy of production sheep are
not surpassed by any other domestic
animal. Besides converting waste
products into nutritious food they will
also manufacture a finished product
out of the roughage and grain of the
farm at least as cheaply as other
classes of live stock.

Remedy for Scratches.

When scratches develop, wash and
dry the leg perfectly, and then do not
wash again, but every three days sat-
urate the skin OF the affected parts
with a mixture of half an ounce of
coal-tar dip, four ounces of flowers OF
sulphur and one pint of sweet oil or
cottonseed oil Work or abundantly
exercise the horse every day. Do not
clip the legs. See that the stable is
kept clean and well ventilated. Feed
horse lightly and keep his bowels ac-
tive.

CAMDEN BOOSTS FARMING

''The exodus from the farm must
be stopped" says Senator Johnson N.
Camden of Kentucky, whose own
2,OO0-acre farm is one of the show
places of the bluegrass region. "Ru-
raj social conditions must be improved
and made as attractive in their way
as city life. Unless the restlessness
and discomfort of the boys and girls
on the farm is overcome, no one can
tell what the end will be-"
"But how is this most difficult
problem to be solved?" he was asked
by devising means to increase
wealth on the farm" replied Senator
Camden. "This can be accomplished
by improved methods of production,
increased farm yields and better
methods of distribution. With in
creased wealth will come better So
cial, educational and religious facili-
ties. With more comforts will come
greater contentment.
Here are the remedies which Sen
ator Camden suggests:

BELIEVES IN ATTACKING

Rear Admiral John NJ de Robeck,
who succeeded Admiral Garden in
command of the allied fleet attack
ing the Dardanelles, has been little
known to the world at large, or even
to Great Britain, whose navy he en-
tered in 1875, when he was but thir-
teen years old. He became rear adj
miral in 1911, and the next year he
was made admiral of patrols, post
calculated to give scope to all the
talents. 1t means a full acquaintance
with every form of small craft, with
mines and mining, with the launch
ing of torpedoes from the shore, with
intricate questions of the correlation
of land and sea gun-fire.
Rear Admiral de Robeck is a man
of rather more than middle age; his
great youthfulness lies in his ability
to grasp the significance of the latest
naval notion Time end again, in
messroom gatherings, he has made
younger men seem old fashioned by
comparison. De Robeck is known to

PROTESTS INCREASE
 IN LIVE STOCK RATES
Corporation Commission Asks Federal Rate Making Board to Suspend
 Advances on Range Cattle

Protesting advances in rates on live stock from all Arizona points to some 500 destinations east of Fl Paso. the corporation commission yesterday asked the interstate commerce com mission to suspend the proposed tar ifs pending a hearing in the case
 The proposed raise in rates would affect range cattle. sheep and goats from Arizona, resulting in an inc,ease of from s2.9O to $500 per carload. The advances are based on an increase in rates from points in the Amarillo, Fl Paso- Deming groups, on which rates on live stock from this state to the eastern markets are based. In addi- tion to charging that the new rates are unjust, and discriminatory, the commission states in it's complaint that notice of the proposed advances, which should have been filed thirty days previous. was not received until March l5. The new rates, unless sus- pended by the federal rate making body. will go into effect April l.
 A telegram of protest against the new tariffs has been sent by the Arizona Cattle Growers association, which will also oppose the new schedules. It is probable that some action may he taken by the western associations at the annual convention of the national organization at San Francisco next week.

A GAULT's GRIEF.

THE other day the Independent
gave space TO Senator James Gault's
plant that the state was wasting its
money in the Ellio School of Indus.
try.
He described it as a marble palace
and said the boys VINO paid taxes to
build it were living in shacks. He
thought it would cost the state ten
thousand dollars Il year for each boy
sent to that institution. He favored
sending these boys out of the state
to the California Salvation Army
home.
No matter what the cost Nevada
will take care of its own citizens at
home. 1t will reclaim the hayward
youth and care for the insane and in
dgent on it's own soil.
In all this society recognizes a duty
to the unfortunate. But how long
will it be before society also realizes
that it has n duty 10 perform toward
the children who have not shown GRIM
inal tendencies?

trial education, is before he has COM
mitted some felony. Teach him the
way to earn a living and show him
how to be a sclf-rcspecting citizen
while he is yet innocent of any wrong.
The time is here when we should
spend just as much money in educat-
ing The good children as we will now
expend per capita in training the bad
boys.
When we build industrial schools
for every town like Elko Their we will
no longer have need of reform schools
for unruly children. There is no such
thing as a bad boy.
Children are the product of their
environment. If they m%isbehave it is
due to their surroundings or lack of
employment or amuscments. Or evil
conduct is due to disease of the mind
or body and those thus afflicted should
be treated i'll hospitals.
The only mistake the state has
made in its School Of Industry was In
not building it nearer town where
other children could receive its bene-
fits.

IAN forms of kissing have proved
insanitary,' concluded the speaker and
the assembled medicos heartily agreed
with him.
"Bosh. pifle, tommyrot and any
other expression that may be employ
ed to convey that meaning. We most
emphatically protest against this eff
fort on the part Of doctors to brighten
our young people by dangling a tu-
%6erculosis germ in front of their eyes.
Let the unsentimental sanitarians
have their gentle tap on the cheek
but give us the old-fashioned kiss with
its accompanying smack vigorous
enough to arouse the old folks 1 the
