PUREBRED SHEEP

Animals Of Medium Grade Lack

Why are purebred sheep the best
for mutton? Because both lambs and
sheep Of the medium grades lack the
condition and quality necessary To
bring the best prices on the market.
Medium grade sheep as rule have
long. loosely coupled bodies with little
spring Of rib and rough outline and
coarse and often paunchy. Animals 81

titled:
Chickens. Milk Feeding and Its In
fluence on Growth and Mortality. Com
parative Study OF the Value OF Sweet
Milk and Sour Mix"
The feeding OF milk to young chicks

growth and on the lessening OF NOR.

vent mortality from all causes, and
TX fed soon enough and for sufficient.
ly long period, greatly reduces the
death rate caused by baciliary white
diarrhea.
Sweet and sour milk are apparently
OF equal value in their relation to
growth and mortality. Furthermore.
different degrees Of souring do not
alter the results OF milk feeding.
The value OF milk an . feed for
chicks does not depend upon any acids
that may be present. nor upon any
particular types OF micro-organisms.
but upon one or more Of the natural
constituents OF the milk.
When milk is supplied freely to
chicks 1t becomes all the more impor-
tant that they have abundant exercise.
This applies more particularly to
early matched chicks that are brSoded
wholly or for the most part indoors.
The feeding OF sweet or sour milk

Here come the nobili with their wives.
The gondolas throng the piazetta and
the merceria seems far too narrow for
the press of people.
The noise and the passion which
runs through the publicity OF Italian
life continue deep into the night; then
last hasty words are spoken, yet once
more stolen glance is shot from beau
tiful eyes, and the happy individual
for whom it is intended understands
the farewell. Around the steps Of the
piazetta--all of white marble, SO that
you cannot miss them, even at night
the gondolas gather again and then
separate on their different ways
through the dark and dead-silent
canals.

portion of the great building seems

Church Now 300 Years Old.
1t is now exactly 500 years ago since
the building of st. Marks was COM
pleted: it's ecclesiastical sanctity is
bestowed on it by the relics OF the
great evangelist; its historical sane
tity consists in its intimate connection
with the fortunes of the city and OF
her rulers. 1t was the theater of their
triumphs and the refuge for their
cares; all that she has achieved and
suffered Venice has done under the
protecting wing of St Marks.
The Church of st. Mark contains
trophies from all parts of the world;
every stone has history. Those two
great pillars at the entrance to the
haptistry were part Of the booty OF

QUEEN Of
THE ACRIkTIC

HERE are numerous things OF
priceless value to the world
upon the threatened frontiers
OF the warning countries, and
among the richest Of these
treasures is Venice, the dream OF gen.
erations OF tourists, Of students OF art
and history and OF lovers OF romance
and beauty. Few cities in the world
receive veneration from more widely
scattered sources, and few stir 80
many pleasant anticipations on the
eve Of first visit to them. This year,
however, the city will be deserted by
Its visitors. Venice, honeymoon OBJ
jective and the tourists earliest
across-sea aspiration, has become an
objective for Austrian air fleets and
battleships. Something of the charm
Of this city Of world-pilgrimage Is told
by one of its most noted friends, Karl
Stieler, whose picture OF the Queen
Of the Adriatic forms the basis of q
bulletin issued by the National Geo
graphic society: He writes:
Before the Campanile we realize. for
the first time the widespread power OF
Venice, that fairy city which sprang
not from the earth, but the sea; still
touched with the glamour of the East,
and yet mistress Of western culture
SO rich in arts and arms, In loves
and hatreds! Venice Is q sphinx
whose enigma we never wholly pene-
trate. In vain we strive to find an
image that shall express her mysteri-
Gus essence. The unique brooks no
comparison.
Center Of Life and Movement.
AS in the old times, even SO today,
the center OF life and movement is the
piazza of st. Marks, although 1t offers
but pale shadow OF the life OF for
mer days. Here on sunny mornings
all the foreigners assemble; here
lounge the ciceroni, and on the neigh
boring piazetta the gondoliers. timer
ant vendors Of all kinds push their
way among the chairs that are set out
In front of the cafes under the open
arcade.
But the most brilliant spectacle Is
at night. when hundreds of gas jets
are alight in the huge bronze candle
labra. when the gold sparkles In the
jewelers. windows and the sound of
gay music Is borne across the piazza.
Then the crowd gathers from all sides.

of the right thickness. containing
about 80 per cent or more Of butter

gether too thin to give good results.
The whipping cream, as delivered by
the milISman, contains 30 to 40 per
cent of butterfat. Thoroughly chill
the cream before whipping by placing
1t In a covered bowl on the ice. The
whipping process Ia also aided and
fastened by standing the bowl In a pan

PROPOSES PEACE MEETING
Villa Calls on GarTanZa to Discuss
COalitiOn-WOuId Avoid
PeriIs.

Washington, June 14-Tne United
States was formally notified today by
Gen. Villa, on be2alf of the Mexican
convention foNces, that ne had tele-
graphed Gen. Carranza urging a con-
ference for the restoration Of peace
and constitutional government in
Mexico.
This step is the first tangible de-
velopment resulting from President
Wilson's recent warning to all Mexi-
can factions that unless they came
to an agreement among themselves
soon, some other means will be en-
ployed by the United States to relieve
the suffering population from further
devastation of the military element.
On Gen. Carranza's reply depends
the next movement in the situation.
Coincentally the state department
was advised by Miss Mabel Boardman
of the Red Cross that the Mexican au-
thorities at Piedras Negras had denied
entry to a carload of foodstuffs con-
signed for the relief of people in Mon
clova. Consul Blocker is endeavoring
to use his good Offices for the trans
portation of the supplies.
Until Consul Blocker reports the de-
tails the state department will take
no further action.
Pleasing to GlpitaI.
The announcement that Gen. Villa
had initiated a movement for peace
was received with satisfaction in Off
cial quarters. Enrique C. Llorente,
Washington representative of the Vii
la-Zapata coalition, called on Secre-
tary Lansing with a copy of the Villa

f,ouse lawn. Well, l don't know much
about it. I must confess, however, to
the fact that l do not like to see our
church lawns and home gardens in
our front yards turned to commercial
ism. 1t may be that l have too little
appreciation OF. tie value of the dol
lar and have too much sentiment. l
confess that l think the tendency to
commercialism is growing so fast tat
it is developing too much materialism,

cultivate that sentiment which deveI-
ops love for the beauty in nature
and that we should have somet- in G
