STEPS TAKEN ID
 SUPPLY MUNITIONS
DEPARTMENT TO ATTEND TO FURNISHING SUPPLIES ON
 AN ADEQUATE SCALE.
IDLE UPPER CLASS SCORED
Baron St. Davds Declares That Men Who Refuse to Work Should
 Be Forced to Fight.

London. The ministry of muni- tions bills, establishing a department to attend to the furnishing of supplies of munitions on an adequate scale, was passed by the House of Lords and received royal assent.
 In the debate on the bill Baron St. Davids, lord lieutenant of Pembroic- shire thought it "a pity that the bill did not give power to requisition men as well as workers" He wished to disassociate himself, he said from at tacks on the working classes.
 The upper classes as a whole, he said, had come out of this trial won. derfully well, but there were idlers still among them. Even among the members of the upper house he ven. tured to say they could find men who had never done days work for therf- selves or for anybody else since they were born, and that the sons of some of them still were hanging about theaters and music halls.
 While that was going on, the baron contended, they might save them selves the trouble of looking for work ingmen and talking of conscription and compulsory service Men who refused to work should be made 10 fight, whether they like it or not.

PLAN FOR CASTING A HORSE

By O. l.. PRIEN. Wyoming Experiment

 The most simple and inexpensive method of casting a horse requires only a soft. strong rope 50 feet long. The addition of hobbies. 10 which iron rings are attached, eliminates the chance of rope burns about the fetlocks of the hind feet, but hobbies cannot be used on unbroken range horses.
 Knot the rope at the middle oi it's length so as to make a loop, which, when passed over the horses head, will fit the neck like a collar The knot is placed lowermost and each end of the rope Is now passed backward outside of each foreleg ana then be- tween the hind legs and around the respective pasterns

 A small flock of ewes can often be pastured during the winter on wheat or rye field. The best roughage for sheep is clover or alfalfa hay and lew roots. If clover is not available, however, corn fodder supplemented with little bran or linseed meal is sufficient AS soon as the lambs are old enough to eat, give them a little cracked corn where the ewes cannot get it.
 A fence that has been used success fully by the United States Forest service in protecting sheep from coy otes is recommended. This fence is built as follows: A strand of barbed wire is stapled to posts at the sur lace of the ground: three inches above this is placed a 30-inch strip of close woven wire fencing. and above this are stretched two strands of barbed wire.
 If sheep free from stomach worms are secured, little trouble will be caus- ed by these pests. The worms are small round whitish worms that infest the stomachs of the sheep. The lambs become infested by eating grass on which the young worms have crawled. 1t is recommended therefore, that the lambs be placed on pastures that have not been occupied by mature sheep.

 Since the Department of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture was as signed to permanent quarters in the new state capitol building last Au- gust, I have been able to assemble an exhibit of the products and re- sources of the state that is but fairly representative of what Arkansas can produce and what she contains in re- sources, and it was my purpose 10 supplement the exhibits with other and better specimens as time passed, until the exhibit halls of the depart ment would outclass anything that ill the Union. The surprise expressed and comment made by visitors from other states upon what we have, am ply justified such a hope However,, the legislature in the exercise of economy, reduced the appropriation available for that and other contin- gent and general purposes to the mln- mum sum of $1.500, which was en- ttely inadequate to attain the ends I had aspired to reach, my recommen- dation having been for an appropra- tion of S5,000
 After the adjournment of the leg islature, the governor vetoed the ap- propriation in it's entirety, leaving nothing whatever for the collection of exhibits, or to pay express charges on exhibits that might be furnished gra- tis by the citizens.
 I believe that poor exhibit is worse than no exhibit at all. and in order to maintain good exhibit we must keep it supplied with fresh specimens"
