The Place Of Sheep
In Kentucky Agriculture

With the gradual depicting of the
western ranges in this country, the re-
gion where 60 per cent of the sheep in
the United States have been maintained
for lamb which the American people are
developing, together with the ever in
creasing population, the question, "who
will produce the future supply of NUT
ton in the form of lamb for the Ameri-
can peoplep" arises.
For some time Kentucky has beeh a
rather important supply factor i'll the
spring lamb trade, being, as a state, adj
mirably adapted to particip tie profitably
in a large industry of this kind, but up
to the present time she has never pro-
duced anywhere near the number of
spring lambs which her natural facilities
justify.
The advantages of Kentucky as a
sleep state are numerous, the climate is
most favorable and permits pasturing
season of long duration. The summers
are not extremely hot and the winters
are rather moderate. There is an abund-
ance of low priced grazing land, excel
lent transportion facilities and the best
of markets
AT Louisville, Kentucky, during the
month of June, 1914, the top price of
spring lambs was 5000 or better every
day, and the market situation both pres
ent and prospective is one that foretells
good prices for several years to come.
This does not mean that large proper
ton of the farmers of the state should
go extensively into the sheep business,
but there is a place on nearly every
farm for a small flock of ewes, main
tanned as mutton proposition, with
wool as an important by-product.
Kentucky has approximately 25S,IS5
farms carrying less than one million
sheep of shearing age, shearing fleece
of 4.6 lbs. average weight The average
acreage of these farms is $50 acres of
which an average of SIS acres are nnder
good cultivation. There is no class of
live stock which would more proftably
utilize the remaining 80 acres of land
than the sheep. These farms could
easily carry fifteen ewes as an average
number, bringing the number of breed
ing ewes in the state up to nearly four
million. The amount of money brought
into the state from the receipts for spring
lambs from this number of ewes would
be enormous.
With the small flock it is possible to
change pastures frequently and not pas
ture the farm too closely, thus doing
away, to large extent, with the danger
of infection by the dreaded stomach
worm.
The sheep is particularly profitable

NEW INDICTMENTS
IN FEDERAL COURT
Whiteheads Will Lay Their
Evidence Before Special
Grand Jury Jan. Ia

The executive officials of the Stand
ard Home company. a local $1,000 900 con-
Germ, have been reindicted by the special
federal grand jury, which temporarily
adjourned yesterday after a session of
three days The indictments are of the
same character as the one returned in
1918 and on the same counts.
With the return of the Indictments YES
terday the mysteries surrounding the
work of the special grand jury has been
unearthed and only after considerable
speculation. The indictments found in
1913 are said to have been faulty hence
the necessity, 1t is claimed, for the re-
converting of grand jury to make a
special return. The cases were prose-
cuted in the grand jury room by oliver
ID. Street of Guntersville, former district
attorney, who was succeeded bv Robert
N. Bell. Mr.. Street was retained after
he left office by the department of ius-
tice to prosecute the Standard Home
cases
When the indictments were reported
iSihcSt NiiittHctuy pIeSiQcnL OF the COM
pany; his brother, Lee Whitehead. and
L. F. Harris. secretary. went Immediate
ly to the federal building and executed
appearance bonds. The bonds were for
$500, or $1,000 less than the bond required
in the former Indictment.
1t was reported that the special grand
jury will reconvene at the instance of
nd To n
time the officials of the Standard Home
company will offer evidence to substan-
tiate their opinion that federal officers
in the department of justice have con-
spired to wreck the company by prose-
cutions and by having a receiver APP
pointed 1t is stated that the special grand
jury will be In charge Of specially de-
as Mr.. Bell. district attorney was of
counsel for the Standard Home company,
and thereby disqualified from prosecuting
and Mr.. Street has only been retained to
prosecute the cases on which new in
dictments were found yesterday. The
indictments alleged the operation of Q
lottery and the fraudulent use of the
mails.
F. f. Whitehead president of the COM
pany, when asked for a statement last
night, had only this to say:
1.-THE indictments are on the same
counts as those returned formerly. There
is nothing new In the charges. We have
fought long fight and have no fears
l am convinced that the people of Bir-
mingham will do us the kindness te
suspend their opinion until we get a
chance to be heard. 1t should be borne
in mind that grand jury hearings rep
resent only one side. We will success
fully defend ourselves against these at
tacks."

HELM WILL TAKE SEAT
ON CRIMINAL BENCH TODAY

Judge II. p. Hefln will take his seat
on the criminal bench of Jefferson county
this morning and take up the docket set
in the second division, consisting of mis-
disqualification to try cases in which he
as solicitor was Instrumental in secur-
ing the indictments. it is stated by
prominent attorneys that he is barred
from sitting on any of these cases il
either the state or the defendant OBJ
jects and that in the event a ,r.ai was
held after objections had been interposed
and a conviction was had it would be
ground for reversal in the supreme court.
1t is also stated. however. that OBJ
jections can be waived and that 1t is
left to the defendant as to wnetner ne
is willing to go to trial on an indict-
ment returned while Judge Hefln was
solicitor. AS regards the statement that
the disqualification would only apply to
the cases which Judge Hefln heard in
person, 1t is said that the law recognizes
only one person as solicitor and that
it holds him responsible for all the Of
fetal acts of his assistants. These ques-
tons, however, will not be determined
until the issue is raised in open court in
the trial of case wherein an Indictment
returned during Judge Heflin's tenure of
office has been returned.
Judge Helm stated yesterday that he
had only one purpose in view, and that
was to fill the position of judge hon.
estly and partially with justice to all
and special favors to none, and that he
would enforce the law to the very best
of his ability.

FORT SUSPENDS
PART OF SENTENCE
McLendOn Allowed to Paw
Fine Upon Promising to
Leave County

On the promise to leave the county and
to never again engage in the business of
selling liquor Illegally, a sentence Of six
months hard labor against Ed McLen-
don was suspended by Judge w. Il. Fort
in the criminal court yesterday. Nc
Lendon was charged with operating
blind tiger at Quinton and when ar
raigned yesterday plead guilty and asked
the mercy Of the court. Judge Fort as
sesed fine of $3.50 against the defend
ant and gave as an additional punish
ment six months hard labor on the
county roads.
Previous to imposing the sentence Judge
Fort questioned number of persons sum
moned as witnesses as to the general
character of the defendant and as to
whether he was man who would live
up to his word. j. D. Hollis, superintend-
ent of the mines near Quinton, gave Nc
Lendon good name SO far as keeping his
promise was concerned, but expressed the
opinion that men once engaged in the
business of selling Of liquor Illegally gen.
orally returned to it. Other witnesses
testified to his general good character.
McLendon told the court that he was
through with the business forever, and
that he had a farm in Fayette county to
which he would return. Judge Fort stated
that he was always ready to give man
chance to reform and stated that he
would suspend the hard labor sentence
pending good behavior, but that the fine
must be paid He also informed tho de-
PENDANT thatrif it came to the knowledge
of the court that he was again selling
to the county and made to serve out his
sentence. The young man thanked Judge
Fort for his clemency and assured him 1t
would not be abused.
Among the other cases disposed of were
Red Smith, plead guilty to larceny from
person: Joe Jackson, plead guilty to lar
ceny from store; Charles Lewis was con-
victed by the jury of larceny from per-
son; Harrison Brown was convicted of
grand larceny and Thomas Osborne was
convicted Of larceny.

Extraordinary Skid.

One Of the most remarkable e.
capes from sudden death which re-
lieves the grim record of fatal acct
dents in automobile racing, occurred
at Brooklands, the famous English
speed course, recently. When APP
preaching turn at an estimated
speed Of 119 miles an hour, tire
exploded and the car skidded side
wise. For so yards the car tore up
the track broadside on, and then in
quick succession tuXned two backward
loops. BY this time the banking OF
the track at the curve was before the
occupants OF the car, and up this slope
the car ran backward to the very
edge. The driver, who had declutched
when the car started skidding, sudden
ly accelerated the engine, the clutch
going In with bang. Strips from the
burst tire had become entangled In
the chain, locking the right.hand
wheel. The sudden acceleration tore
these strips away, and down the en-
bankment the car plunged, turning an.
other loop, this time head-on. and
dashed off the track, bringing up safe.
ly in plowed ground near by.

ADMITS LOSS
OF BLUECHER
German Version Of Naval Fight Adds
That British Also Lost Battle
Cruiser

Berlin, Jan. 25.-The following ofs
fetal announcement on the naval en-
gagement in the North sea yester-
day was given out today:
During the advance of four ar
mored cruisers, Seyditz, Derfflinger,
Moltke and Bluecher, which were ac-
companied by four smaller cruisers
and two flotilla of torpedo boats in
the North sea, these vessels became
engaged with British detachment
composed of five battle cruisers, sew
erai smaller cruisers and twenty-six
torpedo boat destroyers.
THE enemy discontinued the en-
gagement after three hours time at
point seventy miles north west
OF Helgoland and retreated.
According to the information
available one British battle cruiser
and one of our armored cruisers, the
Bluecher, were sunk. All the other
German ships returned to port.
won BEHNCKE. -
Rear Admiral Hyper commanded
the German squadron and Captain
Erdmann the Bluecher.
1t is eonjectured here that the tor
pedoes which, are believed to have
sent the Bluecher to the bottom were
delivered by torpedo boat destroyers
between the lines Of cruisers, 1t be
ing argued that the range OF from
eight and one half to twelve and one
half miles over which the fight took
place would have been too great for
torpedoes shot from the cruisers.
