GIVE SHEEP SOME ATTENTION
Animals Should Not Be Allowed to
Stand on Wet or Muddy Dirt
FIoors-Avoid Rangy Breeds.

No man who understands his bust
ness will ever allow his sheep to stand
on wet or muddy dirt floors.
When selecting sheep for breeding
beware of the long-legged, rangy
breeds. Get those that are close to
the ground. There is no money in
raising sheep legs.
If the pastures are short this fall
the sheep must have some grain or
they will fall back to a point where
all profit will be lost in bringing them
up again.
When pastures get short the sheep
will eat the roots of the grass right
out of the ground if too many are
kept in one lot. Better feed some
grain and save the grass.
Ever notice that the pastures where
sheep are kept grow better grass than
those used for horses or cows?
A South Dakota man has kept coy
otes and even dogs away from his
flock by setting up scarecrows in the
shape of a man. These he changes
from one part of the pasture to an
other every day or two.

% years ago now owns 1000 acres of land,
excellent buildings, 400 cattle, several
hundred sheep, 200 hogs, 500 hens, and
$1,000 at interest, besides rearing fami-
ly of IL children.
Another man rode to his "claim" on an
old black mare, lived in tent, borrowed
money enough to "file" with. His estate
is now valued at 100000.
Similar conditions and changes are
working out west of the Missouri. Alfal-
ia fields stretch out in vast expanse, and
mean millions in wealth axd comfort.
Melons, berries and the various root and
vegetable crops flourish; and corn is king.
Wheat growing is on the wane. Corn is
more certain. Herds of cattle cover the
hills, focks of sheep abound and droves
of swine are numerous. Excellent draft
horses are reared on these plains. We
counted ten carloads of them moving
east one day last week. Thousands of
dollars are represented in poultry ranches
here.
On journey of 10 miles across the
bad Lands we were not only impressed
with the strange geological formations,
but we were surprised to find ranchn.en
with cattle and sheep ''picking up dol
lars" on the few grassy spots.
These western people have hearty
good will, a generosity which we have
never found in the same degree elsewhere.
Entering town a stranger last week,
the bank president took us to his home
with two other gentlemen. His charming
young wife put her two babies to bed,
then said, snow, gentlemen. excuse me
for half an hour" When she returned,
she took us out to an excellent repast
which she had prepared. Reared in New
York City, refined and accomplished, she
yet has the western push and get there.
She can ride bronco, pillow or harrow.
do her own housework, sing sweetly and
play instruments, talk interestingly on
many subjects and she brings joy to
many hearts.
Such is the better side of South Da-
kota life. We will leave the other side

WOMEN AND TOBACCO
MANY SMOKERS AMONG FAIR SEX
A CENTURY AGO.
Mother of Thomas Carlyle Was an
Inveterate User of the Weed
Snuff Commonly Used by Pho
neer Women.

"As a matter of fact, is the use of
than it was century ago? The moth
er of Thomas Carlyle was an inveter-
ate smoker, and as her habit in that
regard is not spoken of as singular in
any way the inference is that smoking
among decent Scottish women of the
peasant class was rather general"
says a letter to the editor of the Bos-
ton Herald. Whether they smoked
In church or not, who knows? Their
husbands did so, when they had
mind, if we may credit Sir Walter
Scott. When I was quite young l saw
an American woman, born about the
time Washington died, take out her
pipe after breakfast, fill it and join
my father in good smoke while they
discussed the problems of reconstruc-
ton. She came from North Carolina,
but was a native of Pennsylvania.
Many of the pioneer women of west
ern New York and the Ohio reserve
took their tobacco in the form of snuff.
l recall one old lady, born just cen
fury ago, who used to go all to pieces
if through some mischance she missed
her regular ration Of snuff. AS I re-
member that old lady think I should
prefer making love to girl that
smoked cigarettes rather than one
that took snuff-other things being
equal. 1t is curious that the few wom-
en- have known or heard of who were
habitual users of tobacco lived to the
ripest kind of ripe old age-near the
century mark-with their natural
forces undated clear to the end. And
they were all extremely pious.
In "The Shoemaker's Holiday" first
published in 1899 or 1900 Hodge, one
of Eyre's journeymen, asks Eyre's
wife, Margery, if she will drink a
pipe of tobacco" Margery answers:
ooh, fie upon it, Roger, perdy! These
filthy tobacco pipes, the most slavering
baubles that ever I felt Out upon it!
God bless us, men look no like men
that use them" Phrynne in his His
trio-mastix" $3.50 says that it was
customary to offer tobacco pipes to
ladies at the theater. Tobacco was
smoked by women in the time of
Charles II. Jervin de Rochefort, whose
Travels in England" were published
in 1872, wrote: "The supper being fin
ished they set on the table half a
dozen pipes and packet Of tobacco
for smoking, which is a general GUS
tom, as we'll among women as men,"
and he told how school children we're
taught to smoke by their teacher.
Mary Firth, the Roaring Girl" on
whose life Middleton's comedy of that
name was founded, boosted that she |
was the first woman in England to
smoke. She was born about 1884. Her |
portrait printed in the 1911 edition of !
the comedy represents her putting
long, thick-stemmed pipe.

IMPROVE THE RURAL HOMES
Kentucky Club Formed to Stimulate
Farmers Interest In Crops and
Beautify Their Premises.
(Rv 7, p. BRoWNING.)


A commercial club in Kentucky has
appropriated a sum of money to be
given as prizes among the residents Of
a certain section of the country for
the best-kept lawns and the best dis
plays of farm and garden products.
The idea of the club is to induce the
people living in that section to i'm
prove their surroundings and beautify
their premises. II believes in the
value of keeping up appearances and
that there is a profit in Identification
which rural communities are not apt
to appreciate. This organization
thinks there are many rural homes
that could be greatly improved in ap-
pearance by neatly kept lawns, at
tractive shrubs and well-cuhivated gar
ldens, and has come to the conclusion
that timely attention given to details
of this character by the farmer would
not only vastly improve the appear
ance of his place, but stimulate his
interest in the success of all his crops.

Time In Europe.

Despite the war, conference is to
be held to attempt to standardize time
on the railways of Europe Anyone
who has travelled even a little on the
continent will know how bewilderingly
diverse are the railway times of diff
ferent countries. Dutch and Spanish
railways keep time of Greenwich, and
so did those of Belgium until the con-
quest" when their timetables were
synchronized with the German. Our
three enemy countries, together with
Italy, Switzerland and Scandinavia,
keep railway time just one hour ahead
of us. Bulgaria and Roumania are two
hours ahead, and Russia two hours
and one minute. Other countries have
time standards of their own, differing
by half-hours and half-minutes.-Lon

STATE IS GETTING OUT
OF HOLE, SAYS TRAVIS
Increased Returns From Stock
Trading and Licenses to
Help Finances.

ONEoNTA, y. r.. Nov. Estate
COMPTROLLER Eugene NJ. Travis. speaking
here before the Chamber Of Commerce,
said in part:
I'VE nave been passing through a year
notable for unusual conditions in the
financial operations OF the State of New
York. 1t is well known that we started
the year with the smallest amount OF
cash on hand OF any year in the history
OF the State and to add to u per-
piexity the revenues fell off heavily dur
ing the early months of the year and in
fact almost down to the close Of the
fiscal year, when a sudden and unex-
pected impetus was given to our re-
ceipts by the heavy trading in stocks,
upon which taxes must be paid, and
also by the increase In revenues from
taxes on secured ,ebts, caused by a
change in the law.
'Since entering upon the new fiscal
year, which began in October. we have
also obtained the benefit OF the new
liquor license taxes. all OF which has
tended to relieve the stringent condi-
tion of the Treasury. The change for
the better did not, however. take place
early enough to enable us to close the
last fiscal year In such a manner as Is
desirable for the conduct OF u mammoth
business such as the government OF the
State of New York. for instead OF carry
ing a working Lalance OF about $1,000
000 we had "A deficiency OF nearly 3d.
00O, 900"
Here Comptroller Travis look up the
question of the direct tax and told why
it was necessary for the State TO levy
the tax. Continuing he said
ut can DE predicted for n certainty
that the direct taxpayer will continue
for some time to have a more inti-
mate relationship with the State Treas
my than he has had in the past, but
1t il not likely that he will again be
called upon In the ear future for 70
large an amount AZ this year. The
danger Just now IL that the taxpayer
will pass from indifference to hysteria,
which q be even worse.
1T IL quite probable that the present
crisis in State finance will prove an
ultimate blessing. 1t has brought the
thinking men of the State to a ~realixa-
ton OF the fact that there must be de.
veloped a programme which will protect
the property owner from c%onfsntory
taxation and at the same time conserve
the great enterprises to which the State
IL committed and upon which II has al
ready expended many millions of
dollars"
