ernor, with two-thirds vote required to pass
any measure over the governors veto. As dou-
BILE check for making such lawmaking body
completely responsive to the constituency the
disciplinary referendum and recall could be pro-
vided.
It is pleasing to note that recently number
of prominent Indianians interested in promoting
a movement for more efficient state govern
ment have championed the simplified legislative
body idea along lines quite similar to this policy.
Among the recent supporters Of this plan is
the Hon. H. B. Snyder, postmaster of Gary and
editor of the Gary Evening Post. Writing to the
Citizen, published at Indianapolis in the interests
Of good government, Mr.. Snyder writes:
The magic words, new constitution" do not
necessarily mean legislative efficiency.
The one redeeming feature, of course, in the
Ohio legislative situation is the initiative and ref
erendum. Notwithstanding an inefficient legis-
ature, this direct power In the hands of the peo-
pie prevented the Ohio legislature from even at
tempting to put over really vicious legislation
such-as is frequently attempted and too often ac-
complished in Indiana. The initiative and refer
endum constitute great fundamental reform in
popular government but along with this, we need
definite reform within the legislature itself.
Why would it not be possible to reconstitute
the legislature recognizing the faults which must
be apparent to all? The suggestion has already
been made (by former governor OF Kansas, l
with only few members, dozen, say In Indi-
ana there could be one legislator in each congress
sional district, thirteen in ALL Let this body sit
throughout the year, studying the needs of the
state in every field and direction like board of
directors of corporation. Instead then of wait
ing two years for the passage of a needed law or
the repeal of an unnecessary one, the board could
act at once. The state could well afford to pay
such body of men as much as the national gov
eminent pays its congressman, for men of high
character would be attracted to such service as
would then be possible. It is true the politicians
would be after the offices but we have them al
ways with us no matter what course we take.
Now that we are entering on new era in this
world land there can be little question that we
are), it behooves to set about the task of get
ting in touch with the new times the new feeling,
the new government that must result if we are to
keep pace with the other nations. Whatever the
outcome of the world war, German efficiency in
government has not only given us an insight into
something that we wot not of but it has shocked
us into the knowledge that we must attain to
some of the efficiency if we are to survive in
competition with the rest of humanity.

MAKING MONEY WITH SHEEP
Cost of Raising Is Small Compared
With High Prices They Bring
Increase Fertility of Soil.

The cost of raising sheep is small
compared with the high prices they
command or with the cost of produc-
ton OF any other farm animal. The
Lincoln, Cotswold and Leicester are
probably the three largest breeds of
sheep-if any favor in size the Lin
coin probably has it. A practical
breeder says IF want a large-grow-
ing lamb, to put on the market at six
or eight weeks old, will use larger
breed than the Southdown, which
might use if / was after a mutton
chop. For such lambs | am partial to
the Oxford, but the Hampshire might
give as good satisfaction" Sheep are
a good medium for increasing the fer
tility of the farm of the man of limited
means. A dozen ewes, properly cared
for, will soon raise lambs enough to
stock your farm with sheep. The esti-
mate is that five sheep can be kept
on what one COW will consume With
good, bright, wheat straw and half a
pound of corn daily, breeding ewes
and store sheep will winter nicely.

PROPER TIME TO WEAN COLT
Youngster Should Be Accustomed to
Eat Hay and Grain Before Re-
movai-Put Mare on Dry Feed.

The colt should be allowed to re.
main with the mare until it has be
come accustomed to eat grain and
hay before it is weaned In nearly
all cases it will be best to feed the
mare for at least several weeks be-
fore the colt is removed with ground
oats and wheat bran.
Give the mare a roomy, wellbedded
box stall, so the colt can eat beside
her. This is one of the easiest and
quickest ways of teaching the colt to
eat
Give the colt good blue grass and
white clover pasture, but put the mare
on dry feed This will help to dry
up her milk without causing swollen
udder.
While it is not necessary to par.
ticularly push the growth of the colt,
it is very eL.ial that steady
growth be maintained and generally
it will pay to feed a little grain, un-
less the pasture is unusually good
Ground oats and wheat bran, say one
to two pints per day, fed dry will pro,
mote growth of bone and muscle and
a well-developed healthy animal.
Corn is not a suitable food for 9
young growing animal.

FEEDING ALFALFA TO SWINE
No Eetter or More Practicable Method
Known Than That of Giving Hay
to Animals in Rack.

There does not appear to be any
more practicable method of grinding
hay for hogs than by feeding the hay
via good rack.
A few years ago some enthusiast
wrote a story about alfalfa tea, which
he said was the finest thing on earth;
that the tea extracted all the animal
food in the alfalfa and at the same
time left the plant food for the soil.
BY giving the tea to the hogs they
would gain their weight, and then you
could scatter the stewed alfalfa back
on the land. The story found its way
into one of the eastern publications
and the western experiment stations
have been flooded with inquiries ever
since. !.

The pronouncement of the best ed

has been that the uncertainty about
