IL used Vinol for a chronic cough
and hard cold which il seemed inn
possible TO get rid of. At nights !

a friend who had used II at the house
where l am living, and the result of its
use in my case was that the hard cold

disappeared In very short order" II

MORE SHEEP NEEDED

More and larger focks of sheep are
necessary to the full development Of
profitable agriculture in the middle
and eastern states. Under present
conditions sheep raising in this coun.
try has not proved as attractive as
In Australia and New Zealand, and in
consequence the department of agri.
culture has recently conducted an in
vestigation, the results Of which have

dustry in those countries.
In New Zealand, says this bulletin,
sheep raising is conducted on lines
midway between those followed in
our farming states and those in the
range states. In Australia the sheep
industry is, in the main, what would
be called in America a range propo-
sition." With a total land area of
a little more than the state of Wyo-

900 sheep as against 100000 in Wyo-

TO PURIFY DRINKING WATER
More or Less Danger from Typhoid
Fever and Dysentery In Using
Water From bitches.

By W. @. SOCKETT, Colorado Expert
ment Station.)
Wherever ditch water is used for
drinking purposes its use is always
attended with more or less danger
from typhoid fever and dysentery, This
risk can be considerably reduced by
treating the water with hypochlorite
OF lime or bleaching powder. which
can be purchased in one-pound sealed
packages from any dug store for about
rs cents per pound. Water m Gisterns
may be treated as follows:
For 5000 gallons place one ounce Of
the bleaching powder (so-called "chlo-
ride OF lime') In a vessel containing
approximately two gallons Of water;
stir rapidly for about one minute; al
low II to stand for Ave minutes so
that the insoluble part of the lime will
settle TO the bottom; pour the solution
into the cistern containing the ditch
water, and by means OF long paddle
stir vigorously so as to mix the hypO-
chlorite OF lime thoroughly with the
water. After 80 minutes the water may
be used.

Richmond, Va.-The women of Vir-

the state Legislature for the admis-
sion of women to the University of
Virginia. At present the girls or Vir-
ginia are Obliged TO seek their educa-
tion in the north, paying double what
a young man pays at the state uni

the present fight will result in victory
for the women. At present the state

YOUNG STEERS FOR FEEDING
Make Best Feeders for
Average Farmer - Neighbors
Ought to Work Together.

1t is highly important that the
young steers selected for feeding are
of the right sort. With the present
prices of feedstuffs and labor, econ
omy is necessary to eliminate loss and
waste If the feeding operations are
to be profitable.
Scrub feeding cattle are rapidly be-
coming a thing Of the past. 1t is
money out OF the pocket to put good
feed into a "robber" steer. The pres
ent demand is for feeds of high quail
ity. A steer with low, blocky, wide,
round body, with short legs and wide
back, with a broad muZZle and short
head, u large roomy middle, showing
ample room for consumption OF large
quantities of food and with fine thick
soft hair has every indication Of being
a profitable feeder.
Two-year-olds make the best feeders
for the average farmer. Such cattle
can seldom be beaten when it comes
| to rapid and economical profits.
Three-year-olds, provided they be pur-
chased reasonably, are sometimes
used to advantage but as a rule two
year-olds make more rapid gains than
do the older ones. In selecting feed
ing steers 1t should be kept in mind
that a uniform lot of cattle always
takes the eye of the buyer and sells
at fancy price. Thus, you see the
necessity OF feeding steers of like
shape, color and breed. To secure
this kind OF steers purebred beef
males should be used. Neighbors in
corn, beef and hog district ought to
cooperate and follow similar lines, II
best results are to be secured.
After selecting the right sort Of
steers for feeding purposes the next
point is, to feed them of as quickly
as possible.

sheep per acre are maintained in New
Zealand on land which has been
plOwed and sOwn to artificial grasses.
If the land has been surface sown
without blowing, this number is re-
duced to from one-half to two sheep
per acre. Land valued as high as
$50 an acre has been profitably kept
in grass for grazing alone, and near
ly One-half OF the occupied area Is
used mainly for sheep. The impor-
tant place thus occupied by sheep in
New Zealand is declared to be evil
dence of the possibilities of profit from
valuable land devoted to well-managed
tlOcks. The size of these fiocks in
sures for them an interest and care
which is not so frequent in the farm
ing states in America.
In Australia conditions more near
ly resemble those in the American
range states. Much OF the Australian
land now used for sheep growing is
destined to be devoted to farming, and
the government is taking an active
part in assisting this development. In
the meantime, land is plentiful and
the focks have much space in which
TO run. There is, however, one funda-
mental and important difference be-
tween the management of the range in
Australia and in the United States.

der the leasing system employed in
Australia, the sheep owner secures
for long periods OF time, at prices
varying with its value, absolute con-
troll OF the land he uses. When the
government is ready to resume the
land in order to divide 1t into small
or allotments, the sheep owner is
recompensed for whatever improve
ments he may have made, and is, in
addition, permitted to retain his own
central homestead. In the opinion
OF the Australians the additional se-
curity and the permanence OF the
business more than compensate for
the rent paid TO the state. In Amer
lea, stockmen themselves are inclined
toward this point OF view, as some
means OF controlling and improving

WHY BLACK MAN Is BLACK.
Some New Speculation On Old Sub
ject of Discussion.

Florida Metropolis The baby ne
gro is not born black. Even so long.
ago as 1765 LIE Cat noticed that the
newly-born negro is of reddish cob
or. That observation has since been
frequently confirmed; and it is now
pretty widely known that, though the
baby negro begins to follow in the-
footsteps of his parents as regards
color within few days after his
birth, yet at the moment of birth he
shows disposition to aspire towards
the Caucasian race, being white, or
at worst, red in hue. It is generally
assumed that the chief Of all tbs
causes of a negro's blackness is the
hot sun beneath whose more or less,
vertical rays he is doomed to livo..
There is, however, a physiological
condition Of the skin which differemr
tiates that organ from the. integw-'
ment OF the white man. In other
words. there is a difference in what
is known as augmentation.
THE negro" says scientist, pos
sesses a more developed vascular
sudoriferous system than we do" I'M
other words, he has more and larger
sweat glands, and they are more lib
orally supplied with blood. BY means
of these he perspires much more
abundantly. This condition is posi-
bly, contributory factor in his black
ness. 1t is an important element I'm

ever, that the blacklist of all black
people are almost invariably found.
