Diseases and Parasites Are

Give Tone to Health.

In buying sheep, either for breeding
or for feeding, be sure they are all en-
tirely healthy. Diseases and parasites
are readily transmitted from one hook
to another by single sheep.
Lambs, when two weeks aid, should
begin to eat grain in side pen, from
which ewes are excluded.

Sheep will eat OF many weeds that
cattle avoid and in this way help clean

iniure the lambs. Shelter your mock

in marine annals and is still fresh
in the minds of the few old-timers
left along the rivers.
The Gettysburg is destined for the
New York-W Indian trade.
Heavy oak frames are being stubbed
in above her water line, and she is
being replanked with four by six white
oak timbers Below the water line
the frames, planking and enormous
keel are apparently as solid as when
first hewn in the forests. New deck
houses are being added, steam heat
and many other conveniences are be-
ing Installed, and when the work is
finished experienced marine men say
the Gettysburg will be a modern craft,
capable of drowning out any steel
freighter now on the lakes. In addi-
tion to her exceedingly heavy timber
ing from stem to sternpost, the ship
has angle braces Of iron running dag
onally from the covering board to the
keel, so that her frame is really a
series of bridge arches from bow to
transom.
Accompanying the Gettysburg on
the trip to the Atlantic will be the
former three-masted schooners Arenac
Of Duluth and Alex M. Anderson of
Detroit.
The Anderson and the Arenac are
of the same type, with comfortable
cabins and the familiar lumber rig,
consisting of head canvas, foresail
and mizzen, a large mizzen staysail
taking the place Of the mainsail and

In most cases the method of filling

this fur in the United States At the
present time there are some 60 pure
bred Karakul rams and ewes in the
country, and more than 1000 head OF
sheep having one-half or three-fourths
Karakul blood With further cross
ing these grade ewes should prove
valuable as producers Of fur-bearing
lambs, and, at some later time, OF
breeding rams. Prospective breeders
are warned In the article mentioned,
however, that there Is no prospect OF
securing marketable skins by breeding
half-bred rams to ewes OF any class.
It is not enough for the lambs cover
ing to be black in color and curly; 1t
is the character OF the fur and the
luster with the blackness that gives
the skin its value. Skins possessing
the desired qualities cannot be pro-
duced with half-bred sires.
The future of the industry in this
country depends very largely upon the
results obtained by mating Karakul
rams with ewes OF other breeds. Be-
tween 1911 and 1915 the department
Of agriculture conducted various breed
ing experiments along these lines, but
all but four of the sheep used in the
work were lost through the burning
of a barn in March, 1915. Before this
disaster took place, however, much
useful information had been acquired.
and it is largely as a result of this
work that the statement is made that
apparently Karakul sheep can be bred
successfully in this country.
The Karakul is a sheep OF medium
size with black face and legs, and
long coarse fleece Of some shade or
gray. In it's home in Bokhara the
sheep is accustomed to an elevation OF
about 5000 feet and to very hot, dry
summers and long, cold winters. AS
a result of this environment 1T seems
reasonable to assume that the Karakul
is we'll adapted to areas of extreme
temperatures and limited rainfall. In
Texas, it has been found that these
sheep, whether imported, native born,
or grades, were better able to resist
cold and storms than animals Of other
breeds. From a mutton standpoint the
conformation of the Karakul is quite
inferior to that of the British breeds,
though lambs by Karakul sires from
ewes of other breeds have made rapid
growth and found ready sale.

Alaska is the great paradox. That means nothing, so we will explain. The United States is supposed to be the country In the world where re- presentatiye governmtnt and popu- lar control has proved its efficiency beyond all other systems. The United States is the country wherein the Voice of the Peopie is unE,istakably supposed to bs the Voice of. God: 5, wherein the con- sent of he governed Is supposed to be the prime and essential founda- tion for all government; wherein de- mocracy is supposed to be the conii- tom wherein citizenship has It's beins and lives and moves; wherein the tendency has been and is to further extend popular control over all institutions, and to bring. home directly and squarely to the people a government of the people, by the people for the people.
 Everyone of those conditions thus recited have been political shibbo- leths for over half a century and more. The United States is, in fine, supposed to be the country where representative government as op- posed to all other concepts of rule has found and proved itself the highest, the best, the most practical and the most successful.
 Now Alaska is portion of the United States to which the blessings of representative government have been long denied; not only that, but wherein the blessings of repre- sentative government when they did come, were so conspicuously re- stricted and so narrowly confined that there is hardly single sub feet. whereupon legislation can be enacted with the perfect and very positive assurance that it will stand
