should it be necessary for the defense
OF lower Egypt. Great Britain might
pour all of the strength of her Indian
empire without any such fear of traf-
fic jam as that realized by munitions
import at Vladivostok. Army sup
plies and troops might be handled in
any quantity there, the most modern
port on the Red sea.
A railway line connects the port
with the Wady Halfa on the Nile,
whence, by steamer and rail, it is con-
nected with Cairo and the ports Of
lower Egypt. The railway was opened
in 1906 and the stimulus that it
brought to the country went q long
way toward justifying British conf
dence in the future of the Soudan.
The railway has a terminus also at
Port Suakin, less suitable harbor a

tract city.

Mecca, the holy city Of the Moham-
medan world, lies little to the north
across the Red sea from Port Soudan.
The port Is 700 miles by boat south OF
SueZ, the southern terminus of the
great canal, and 1876 miles by rail
northeast of Khartum. 1t is situated
in an arid plain, backed by a fringe
of hills and barren save for mimosa
thorns. The climate is very hot and
damp, full of fever-danger for the Eu.
ropean, and this has proved the great.
est drawback for the city.

and somewhat laxative. Roots, kale
or fine clover hay are good winter
green feeds. The hay is not green. but
has the same effect on the digestion.
Clover or alfalfa hay may be fed in
racks where the SOW can help herself
at will. Do not force her to make her
living altogether from this diet, but 1t
supplements the grain very nicely.
Don't starve the SOW and expect to
get a strong litter of pigs.
1t is best to have the sows separated
from the rest of the hogs, and il the
old sows fight the younger ones make
a further separation. 1t doesn't pay to
subject the pregnant SOW to punish

the steer feed lot, where they are hunt

SHEEP REQUIRE DRY SHELTER
In Ordinary Climate House for AMI
mails May Be Constructed Of One
Thickness Of Boards.

Contrary to general opinion, sheep
as we'll as any other class of farm
animals require clean, dry shelter. 1t
is especially important that the feet
and fleece be kept dry. If their quar-
ters are dry and clean the sheep will
stand very cold weather without dis
comfort or disease. There must be
ample ventilation, for sheep, II closely
crowded, sweat badly and quickly use
up the oxygen in the air, but there
must be no drafts as sheep are easily
subject to colds.
In the ordinary climate the sheep
barn may be constructed of one thick
ness of matched boards. 1t should be
large enough to house the entire flock
without crowding. Windows enough to
permits lots of sunshine to enter and
clean. dry bedding under foot are
necessities. The lambing pens should
be of warmer construction than the
general shed.

1t early earned a worldwide reputa-
ton for wickedness. beside which the
modest fame Of the western mining
camp seems to merge into the mild
and conventional. The most unde-
sfrable elements in the eastern and
Levantine nations met, mingled and

the town q renown of a most unen-
viable sort.

The English, however, have steadily
dampened the ardorous excuses of

the extensive harbor improvements Of
19O3-1909, with the addition of large

of people have sought new interests
in Port Said. Thus, with the increas-
