PRODUCING SHEEP ON
SUorHfRN FARMS.
PREPARED IN THE BUREAU OF ANIMAL,

PREPARED IN THE BUREAU OF ANIMAL
INDUSTRY.
Sheep have place on southern
farms. By keeping flock of from
3 to IL ewes, farmers in that Sec
ton can provide themselves with
meet for the table, sell a few lambs
ter mutton, aud secure additional
revenues through the sale Of wool
For those who have no sheep, let us
consider just how to get start ted in
the business with small outlay of |
capital and how to ,andle the flock
after obtaining it.
CHOOSING AND BUYING BREEDING EWES
AND RAMS.
Your first ewes can be native
ewes, purchased by nearby sheep
owners. Go into flock and pick
out vigorous ewes with comptac
bodies. Get young healthy ewes
If you must buy old ones. do not
take those having spread brok-
en-, or worn off teeth. Such ewes
cdnnot eat well and will not make
any money as breeders for their
, purchasers.
Do not use anything but good
, rams of a mutton breed upon your
ewes. A Southdown, Shropshire
= Hampshire, or Dorset Horn ram
will prove most desirable. He
should be about 2 years of age
healthy, and carry plenty of nut
ton. Such a r..m will cost, deliver
ed, from SIS to $25, and can b.
bought by half dozen farmer
! dubbed together. He will bree'
from 40 to 60 ewes.
PRoTEcT1c,: FROM STORMS AND DOGS.
Sheep do not require closed builc
ed buildings for protection from
cold, as their fleece affords protec
ton if kept dry. A low shed, bull
a on dry ground and opening to tn
4 south, is sufficient. Such a she
! need cost but very little, as scrap
of lumber about the farm can b
utilized in building it.
=, ce yonr flock within a dol

A fence that will turn a dog mu
be at least so inches high, have
barbed wire stretched flat to Il
surface of the ground at its botto1
and three barbed wires 7 inch
!, apart stretched at its top. tt
r. space between the barbed wiz
can be filled in with old boart
poles or any other fence-buildi
material. provided it is so built
to keep the dog from crawl
through.
GENERAL CARE OF THE EWES.
Often ewes become "taggy"
have dungy locks collect on I
wool about the tail and between
hind legs. Such locks should
feet cut off and the ewes kept Gle

GRAIN RATIoNs.
Begin feeding the G yes a little
grain about two weeks before lamb

amount to one-half pound daily at
that time After lambing, slowly
increase the amount to l IL or 2
pounds daily, and continue this
ration during the sucking period.
Ewes need not be grained when dry
if good pasture is prov ded
Give the ran just enough grain
to keep him in good condition. The
amount fed should be increased
during the breed 6 season.
Teach the lambs to eat grain as
soon as possible after birth, and
continually feed them what they
will eat up cleanly until ready for
the market. Feed them twice daily,
using creeps to keep out the ewes.

An idea of what is going TO happen
in Europe, if the present war is car
ried through another winter, is pre-
scented in the newspaper report of the
annual reunion OF the members of
company f, fourth Vermont volun-
teers which occurred at Brattleboro
on Tuesday. This company enlisted
early in the war and $50 men made
up the rolls during the term OF ser
vice. The significant point in the
company's history which has spec
ial bearing upon the struggle now 60
ing on across the Atlantic is that of
twenty-three men imprisoned at An
dersonville only four left the stock
ade alive. While there was no excuse
for the inhuman treatment visited up
on the men confined at Anderson
vile and other confederate prisons,
at the same time much of the priya
ton which these men suffered vas
due to the fact that the confederacy
for the federals it captured During
the last year of the war the men in
the southern ranks endured hard
ships that were extremely bitter for
the reason that the stocks of food
and clothing had become exhausted
Millions of men have been made pris
oners of war during the present con
flict and another winter is likely to
see a death rate among them that
will 'stagger humanity, unless the
sensibilities of humanity shall have
become so shocked and hardened
that the ability to receive impress
sions is obliterated All the avail
able resources of the warning govern
ments from now on are going to be
taxed to the utmost TO keep the arm
les in the field and the lot OF the
prisoners must necessarily become
harder and harder as the lighting
continues. Pestilence will reap har-
vests, as is always the case when
large numbers of men are confined
in restricted areas and the death
rate in the prison camps is likely to
approach that on the firing line II
the war could be brought to a close
before snow flies there would be n
salvage of human life that would
help nightly in the reconstruction
of the blood-stained continent.

UNDERsEA CRAFT.
The Strength and the Weakness of the
Modern Submarine.

Modern Submarine.
The chief advantages claimed for the
submarine include comparative inyis-
ibility when submerged. coupled with
immunity from guniire while in that
condition. 1t carries weapon against
which no adequate protection has been
found. 1t presents small and difficult
target when itself assailed by torpedo
attack. Other elements in its favor are
low cost, hardness, scaworthiness in
rough weather, comparative immunity
from floating mines as well as those
laid IN very deep water and the posi-
Dilitics of use as mine layer.
On the other hand. the submarine IS
handicapped by many disadvantages
and limitations. Its radius OF action Is
small. Its speed is low, about IA knots
on the surface and 10 knots submerged.
The perscope is useless during dark.
ness, and to operate at that time the
vessels must therefore come to the sur
face, thus rendering themselves very
vulnerable to the attacks of surface
craft. Once the submarines hull IS
damaged by guniire, ramming or 9th
erwise, it is no longer able to submcrge,
and its usefulness rs n war vessel is
ended until repairs can be made.
When flying at an elevation of less
than 1000 feet air craft can usually see
submarines operating near the surface.

A Scotch clergyman called upon 0
parishioner, an old woman who was
not possessed with many virtues, but
who possessed a very varied assert
ment of vices He took the latter as
q text for sermon and spoke to her
ut considerable length upon the sub
ject, concluding with some extracts
from one of st. Paurs epistles which
he felt TO be apropos.
She didn't speak for several minutes
after he had finished, and he thought
that lie had made an impression upon
her ut last. He was mistaken, how
ever, for she suddenly turned round
with the remark: 'Humph! That's just
where Paul and ] have differed these

Thrice before this Germany has

the Russian lines in the direction of
Warsaw. Twice the Cars troops
have fallen back at the point of the
heaviest pressure, and by reason of
their tremendous numbers have fold
ed in behind the German armies, have
outilanked them and compelled their
retreat with terrific losses. A third
time, the Grand Duke Nicholas met

gun for gun and beat him back. The

but they have apparently saved their

turing system of the Germans had
supplied great army for supreme
drive on Warsaw.
During the winter the Grand Duke
had spent most of his reserve store
of ammunition in the drive against
the demoralized Austrians which
gained for him Prbemysl. He had
flung his Cossacks over the heights
of the Carpathians and down into the
plains of Hungary. With this victory,
however, he had come to the end of
his resources, Nothing remained but
to wait for spring and endeayor to
hold his lines.
With spring the change came. Con
tent with simply holding the foe, Ger
many had massed behind her lighting
lines an army, perfect in its efficiency
deliberately squipped, and diligently
hammered into fighting shape by Won
Mackensen and Won Hindenburg.
Welded into the formers forces were
the hitherto ineffective Austrians.
When May had dried the roads and
made it possible to begin campaign
Germany struck
The previous drives against War
saw had been direct. In each of them
the forces employed had not been
sufficiently numerous to prevent out
fianking by the Russians. The num-
Der of Germans who flung themselves
against and Grand Dukes troops this
time, however was too great to per-
nit of a repetition of this outflanking
manoeuvre. The number of field
guns and siege artillery which back
ed up the Teutonic assault was able
to smother the weak fire of the Rus
sian cannon, many of them old and
none of them adequately supplied
with ammunition. The German adj
vance was planned upon new lines.
While Won Mackensen swept up
through Galicia, rolling back the
Cars troops and recapturing first
Przemysl and then Lemberg, Won
Hindenburg in the north attempted
to shatter the Russian flank, lying in
the Baltic provinces. No direct at
tempt was made on Warsaw. It was
the intention of the Teutons to push
their armies through the country to
the north and south of the city, until
the men of Won Mackensen and Won
Hindenburg clasped hands at the
rear of the city, holding the Russian
army in a ring of steel from which
there would be no escape. The sue
cess Of this plan, however, was only
partial
With the Germans delivering merci
less blows on either flank. with his
men short of ammunition, with his ar
tillery hopelessly outclassed, the
Grand Duke Nicholas withdrew his
unwieldy army with consummate
skill. Won Mackensen captured
captured Przemysl after it had been
rendered absolutely useless, from
military viewpoint, by Russian sap
pers, who destroyed all of the forti.
fications behind the retreatlng army
and robbed the city of everything of
value to the victorious troops before
they entered.
Lemberg was merely a repetition
of Przemysl. Step by step both Ger
man armies bent back the Russian
tanks until the battle line formed |
two sides of an equilateral triangle. |
with Warsaw inside its apex. On the |
third side of the triangle lies the Kov |
no-Brest-Litoysk line, on which the |
grand duke has planned to make his |
next stand after the evacuation of |
the Polish capital To this new line |
he has withdrawn most of his army. |
