DIPPING TO DESTROY TICKS
Shepherd of Wisconsin Experiment Station Recommends Sheep Be
 Treated Soon After Shearine.

Surprising as it may seem, there are some sheep owners who do not seem to realize the importance of dip ping their flocks."
 Frank Kleinheinz shepherd of the Wisconsin experiment station fiOcks. ever mindful of .Wisconsins sheep raising possibilities, was urging farm CTS to give their fiocks the care neces- sary for them to do well on the su- perior pastures generally provided for them.
 Sheep which have gone through the winter infected with ticks have certainly suffered day and night from the constant annoyance caused them by these pests" he continued. Much of the food given the flock went for the support O. the ticks.
 After the flock has been sheared, nearly all of the ticks leave the old sheep and crawl on to the lambs where they have more comfortable shelter and younger and fresher blood to suck.
 As the ticks become more numer- ous the lambs become thinner and the farmers prospective profits soon fade"
 Mir. Kieinheinz recommend; that both sheep and lambs be dipped as soon as possible after shearing. He has found that it promotes their health. insures better gains. and prepares them to go on the market in the pink of condition. ready to command the highest prices.
 Any of the good coal tar dips now on the market if properly used are satisfactory tick destroyers.

God makes a slave. doubter free, Abiding faith alone liberty. No angel led our Chieftain's steps aright; No pilot cloud by day, flame by night; No plague nor portent spake to foe friend; No doubt assailed him. faithful to the end.

Still walked the highest heights and spake with God; Saw with anointed eyes promised land By petty bounds petter cycles spanned, Its people curbed and broken to the ring, Packed with a caste and saddled with a king But freedoms heritage and training school Where unruled should learn wisely rule Till and should Ajalon Kings heads in dust and freemens feet thereon His work well done the leader stepped aside, SpuTnng crown with more than kingly pride.

C FEARING broadly, there are ' two possible direct results of O compulsory minimum wage. Either the increased wage will be followed bv increased efficiency and the higher wage will bc earned in whole or m part or the contrary will result, and there will be no re- turn for the increased wage, or at best an inadequate ono.
 IN THE FIRST CASE THERE WILL BE NO UPSErTING OF THE EXPENSE OF CONDUCT ING BUSINESS. Those employees who do not respond in terms of et- fciency to the stimulus of the in- creased wage will fall by the way, to seek an occupation better fitted to their talents.
 If the second be the result and VIC employers receive no adequate return for the increased wage then the expense of conducting our stores will rise, and we will have to ask our patrons to foot inc bill by paving more for their merchandise.
