two years and this class, as 0 general ru1e, are not of the sporty dispo- stoned kind of automobi1tsta. They are of economical and conservative dispositions and have demanded cars that could be operated economically and safely. High mileage of tires and low repatr bills have been their chief as a result the manufacturers have been forced to make cars that would meet with the approval of this class of motor car owners.
 Builders of the highest grade high est power cars have been compelled in a number of cases to bring out models that would be universally in demand. As a result of the present conditions the very heavy, long, high powered car is becoming a smaller factor in the industry. The econo- 5ntcal models are classy and are capa- b1e of speed that any reasonable man could desire.

All autonobilists should be. expon7 ents of the motto, Don't drive in tI1e rUt's Conservation of good roads is just as important as the encourage ment of good road building Good roads cost a lot. of money and a mo- torist pays a great deal toward it. The owner of an automobile should feel the responsibility in making his share Of the investment in good roads go as far as possible.
 Bad roads discourage motoring, yet to a certain extent motorists are re- sponsibIe for them. How often have you seen a wen-oiled road in fairly good condition, or a new section of highway just built, become almost i'm passable by constant usage of al rut that was first marked by the ini- tial car to travel over it. Six inch es of road, often twelve to sixteen feet wide. Is called upon to stand the strain of all the traffic over it. This really should not be. Of course it is the natural tendency to drive on the crown of the road. but in principle it is wrong. if the road is to be used to the best advantage
 After these ruts are started and the surface has been broken through, come the chuck holes and dust holes, water to contend with. which softens the surface and decreases the eh1- ciency of material used in making the road.
 Don't drive in the rut'' if lived up to would save thousands of dol lars annually in the building of roads, increase the pleasure of the tourists many times, and in the end save the automobile.

fodder may be used as roughage, in which case it should always be sup p1emented with bran or linseed meal Lambs should come early and should be taught to eat as soon as they are old enough. Give lambs access to corn by providing creep through which they can go without allowing the ewes to follow.
 For farm purposes the b1ack-faced eyes are more popular than the oth- CTS, although good results can ire quently be obtained from the white faced ones. In buying ewes, be sure that they stand well on their feet, have good straight backs and good mouths. Ewes that have broken teeth or teeth that are badly worn down should not be bought. As a rule, a sheep has one. pair of per- nanent incisor teeth when it is 1 year old, two pairs when it is 2 years old and three pairs, or 8 full mouth, when it is 8 years old. A ful1-mouthed eve, if the teeth are in good condition, can be used for breeding with good results although she may be as much as 5 years old Never buy a eve that has a broken mouth-that is, with teeth that have been broken off a lost.

be used 1t is not necessary to have a show animal, but a, srrong, vlgor- ous buck is essential. Shropshire Oxford, Southdown, and Hampshire rams sire excellent mutton lambs, and these breeds are recommended for the farm states A suitable ram can be bought for $8 to $2o-
 The two principal drawbacks to the sheep industry in the farm states are dogs and stomach worms. The dog nuisance can be obvfated to a great extent by placing dog-proof fences around the pastures. The United States Forest Service has had excellent results in protecting sheep from coyotes and wolves by building fences constructed in the following manner: A barber wire is first stapIed to the posts right. on the sur face of the ground. Three inches above this is placed a panel of close woven wire, 36 inches high, and above this two strands of ordinary barbed wire. Care should bet taken to see that there are no openings be- tween the ground and the lowest barbed wire. An inclosure made in this manner. into which sheep may be turned at night, Is inexpensive. and dogs will not get through it.

\ PLACE FOR SHEEP
 ON THE FARM.

The. department urges the desir- ability of maintaining a small flock of sheep upontth farm. With proper care and attention 8 flock of 25 or 80 ewes can be kept at very little expense, and they will prove of in estimab1e value In freeing the farm from weeds and adding something to the farm income. In addition to pro- ytding considerable supply of wholesome food for the farm table, there will be a surplus for sale, and an additional item of revenue in the form of wool.
 Many farmers make a practice of buying ewes in the fall, breeding them and selling the lambs the fol- lowing summer. Such ewes can be carried through the winter on wheat and rye fields if not pastured too closely, or on clover hay with some roots and a little nnseed meal If the clover hay Is not available, corn

thorfttes, and that there was defin- ite plan to sell the eggs to bakeries and that the Western Egg YOlk Company had been organized for this purpose by a number of men who had been prominently identified with the egg business in New York city for some time. The Department of Agri- culture, therefore, did not content itself with the seizure of these eggs, but continued its investigations until sufficient evidence was collected to warrant the federal district attorney of New Jersey in securing indict- ments for conspiracy against the fol- lowing: Morris S1adkus, Herman Zwicker, Bernard EdeIberg, Scheir Weissman, Harry Lewites, Fred Fur nival, Lyman Lewis, William Rubin; Samuel Edelberg, Harry Weissman, Samuel Frurnival.
 Of these, the two Furnfvals were the bakers to whom the company dispose of it's rotten eggs. Samuel Furnival was not tried on account of illness, and Fred F,urniva1 was ac- quilted of the charge of conspiracy.

JAIL FOR ROT
 TEN EGG MEN
New Jersey Dealers in 'eRotsr And .sSpotss' Convicted on Con-
 spiracy Charge.

Washington, April 1.-Seven of the men connected with the Western Egg Folk Company and the Excelsior Baking Company, so-calIed, of New spiracy to violate the Food and Drugs Act in the interstate shipment of rotten eggs, have been sentenced in the federal court at Trenton, New Jersey, to terms in prison ranging from 8 months to a. year and a day. Samuel Edelberg, and Morris SIad- kus received the latter sentence, Herman zwicker and Harry Lewites six months eaehs and Scheir Weiss man, who was recommended for mercy, 8 months.
 Some of the defendants, 1t was proved, were doing business under the name Western Egg Folk Com pany and others under the name of the Excelsior Baking Company for the purpose of purchasing eggs which had been condemned and de- natured in New York city and sell ing them to bakers in Jersey City, in violation of the Federal Food and Drugs Act.
 In practically every shipment of eggs there ale certain to be at least a, few that cannot pass the candling test and are therefore discarded by dealers. In large city like New York the eggs rejected in this way will amount in the course of a day to a considerable number. The law forbids their use for human food, but permits them to be denatured and sold for technical purposes, the chief outlet being tanneries. The Western Egg YoIk Company, 1t was proved, purchased these denatured eggs, but instead of selling them to tanneries, or finding other legitimate markets for them, removed the de- maturing substance and sold them to certain New Jersey bakers for use in cheap cake and other similar arti- c1es.
 In July, 1913, a lot of eggs trans ported from New York in a. wagon belonging to the company was seized in Jersey City. The containers in which these eggs were shipped were branded spots ''rots,''r and mot in tended for food purposes Investi- gation showed. however, that this labelling was merely a subterfuge. to avoid interference by the federal au-

TIRES AND GASOLINE

One frequently comes in contact with a motorist who has made g. careful study of the cost of running his car. He keeps accounts, drives carefully, etc, and knows just how much his car is 5costtng him 8 month, a. week or even a day. The Worcester Gazette automobile man in terviewed one on the subject of econ ony as pertains to the motor car. He said in part:
 stwe will begin with the tires. They are the most expensive wearable part of a modern car. Varying as they di in price, it should be noted that the original cost or the tire is crtter- ion as to it's cost per mile run, and cheap tires are often the most ex- pensive from this point of view. But economies in the wear. of tires can be accomplished in very simple ways if thought is given. For example, the stopping and starting should be grad ua1, and neither hand nor foot brake should be adjusted violently, patches of unroIled stone should be avoided, and careful watch should be main- tafned for broken glass. Travel in the car tracks is also injurious to the tires, as small chips of steel are picked up. These work their way through the fabric and raise havoc with tubes
 '.The tires should always be- shell tered as much as possible from the fierce rays of the sun and kept blown up to the proper standard and not allowed to run half inflated Of course, at this time of the year one does not have to take precaution against the fierce rays of the sum. Grease is also enemy to rubber tires, producing rapid disintegratio ton. Bad cuts should be filled up at once with repair material. have noticed that many motorists allow. their tires to ear too far and when recovered the new tread breaks away from the under part. If the car is not going to be used for considerable time, all the outer-covers and tubes should be taken of and hung in cool, dark pla- ces.ss

 Legal restraint has been one of the causes for the cutting down of high way speeds. Although it has been an important factor, it has not been the most Important one, it is argued by those who have studied the present conditions. They assert that the mo- tor car has now become so common place and it's daily or even hourly aspect has largely overshad owed it's sporting aspect while a large pro- portion of motorists, especially those of long standing. have experienced the comforts of safety and tired of the costly thrills of high speed.
 The fact that the majority of the motorists drive at low speeds has tended to make moderate speeds more or less habituaL Then again
