PROPER SHELTER FOR SHEEP
Wool Does Not Afford All Protection
Necessary During Winter as Gen.
orally Believed.

1t was formerly quite generally
thought that the sleeps wool afforded
it all the protection necessary during
the winter. If the fleece could be kept
dry it probably would retain enough
body heat to keep the sheep warm,
but this is impossible without shelter.
When a fleece once becomes wet it
takes long time for 1t to dry out,
especially II the weather Is cold.
Much energy that would otherwise
be used for growth or fattening must
be used for evaporating this water.
The wet fleece also gives rise to un-
healthy conditions.
In Great Britain little housing is
necessary, but in most places in Amer
lea this would result in severe inssas-

Animals Cannot Get Out.
~ ROY M- PRICEN

To build a good hog fence first get
a solid corner. | dig holes for the
corner posts three and a half feet
deep and eighteen inches across. |
fiji up around the post with concrete,
five parts sand to one part cement, to
three inches above ground so that wa

the fence is the 3O-inch with mesh at
the bottom that makes them pig-tight.

RIGHT MANAGEMENT 0s BoAR
Animal Should Not Be Allowed to Run
With sows--sure Way Of Redue-
Ing Number In Litter.
By II. M. corrRELL)

(By II. M. COTThEbl@D
The boar should serve a SOW but
once, and two sows a day should be
the limit for a mature boar, and then
he should have days rest after every
second or third day. He should be
used before being fed. Handled in this
way, a mature boar is sufficient for SO
sows. Overservice results in pigs that
are dead, weak or puny at birth. Prob
ably the greatest cause Of pigs born
dead or born so weak that they soon
die, is allowing the boar to run with
the sows. 1t is sure way Of reduc-
ing the number raised in litter ana
of reducing the profits.
A boar should not be used for much
service until he is at least twelve

WHAT Is A DOLLAR.

We think the following definition -
a dollar is a pretty good oae:
"a dollar is what some men prrn;..
to pay for their home paper, 1t i. some.
thing a newspaper man enjoys more I,
anticipation than in reality. II ia Inc
price of a days work fer some men All
a single nights drink for Others, !,
is what the wife frequently needs, bn,
seldom has. 1t is the power that makss
or unmakes men. 1t is the batdas,
thing TO get and the easiest thing To 10,
rid of known to mankind. 1t is a bless.
ing in a small measure and a curse !,
many instances. 1t is mighty AND
scarce. No man ever had more than ba
wanted and no man even will. A dol.
lar is a snare and a delusion and every
one Of US are chasing a deiusion."

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

The following resolutions were
adopted at the annual meeting Of the
stockholders of the Henderson & Baird
Hardware Co., held in Greenwood on
Tuesday, July sth:
Whereas, on the 9Th day of April.
1916. our dear friend and much loved
director. Mr.. W. C. George. departed
this life, removing from our organiza-
ton one Of Its s~taunchest supporters
for the minutes will show that during
life, he answered the roll call of almost
every meeting, giving bis talents as a
business man in wise counsel, his loyal
support to the management for the
betterment Of our organization, often
offering his personal credit in de-
pressed times when be thought the
firm was in need of financial assistance.
He was among the three largest
stockholders and the various interests
with which he was connected, made
him among the largest customers. Just
a few days before his death, he showed
his faith in u Company by purchas
ing considerable additional stock in the
same.
He who knew him best realized he
was a most loyal and sincere friend.
He was possessed of a higher order OF
friendship than most. That is, his
personal fortune, his untiring efforts
and his life, if need be, was always at
the disposal of his friends. While he
accumulated a comfortable fortune, il
is known that he gave the needy more
than he retained for himself, and in
disbursing his worldly effects, he
showed his unseIfshness when he gave
liberslly to those needy who had calls
on him, without regard to those he
loved best,
On the night of April 9Th without
pain he fell asleep, passing from the
busy world of men with a sweet ex.
preston on his face, thus assuring US
that in the passing he was satisfied
with a life's work well done.
In the intermingling of the good and
the frailties of a human character
like that of W. C. George, the good in
him and the unselishness, the loyalty
and the consideration of those who were
needy and in trouble, his character
stands out like a great beacon light
reckoning US on to land more unselfsh
lives, and to be more considerable of
others.
No one could associate with such a
character as Mr.. George and not be
bettered by the association. We can
all learn a lesson from the life of this
brave, generous, loving friend, brother
and son.
The stockholders and officers of the
Henderson & Baird Hardware Co. will
meet again but those of US who knew
him best, will always feel that in our
meetings there will be a vacant chair
This organization, Greenwood, Le-
fore county, and the commonwealth
of Mississippi has sustained a great
loss in the death Of our beloved friend
and we all mourn for him.
Therefore. be it resolved by the
stockholders of the Henderson & Baird
Hardware Co., in annual meeting as
sembled, that this organization have
the above resolution spread on the
minutes and a copy sent to his broth
ers and sisters, and also to S. L. Gwin,
and that they be published.

Washington, March 11.-General Funs- ton asked the, war department late to- night for four additional regiments of cavalry for patrol duty on the border, General Scott chief of staff. immediately issued orders for the Eleventh cavalry Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.; the First cavalry, Monterey Cal, and the Twelfth cavalry Fort Robinson. Neb.. to proceed at once to the border. The Fifth cavalry, Fort Myer, va was ordered to hold itself in readiness to move, as General Funston said the fourth regiment was not needed immediately.
 Late tonight Secretary Baker said the department had no report that any troops had crossed the border
 Army officers estimated 1t would take from three to five days for the three cavalry regiments to reach the border. The regiment from Monterey. Cal. prob ably will be the first to arrive.
 While no announcement was made. the order was construed to mean that Gen. eral Funston intended to employ the four cavalry regiments now on duty along the border to the east and west of Colum- bus as part of his expeditionary force, which. It is understood. will be under tn
