Druen is SO years of age and his wife
Sc. They were married Feb. IL, 1912
at Preeceville, Can. The woman years
ago married man named Boyd in
Iowa and has three children by her
first husband, one a lad Of seventeen
living at Hawarden, la. Later she mar
ried Geo. Kaoso, whom she divorced
twice, when she married Druen. She
divorced Druen and the couple were
Remarked by A. B. Dill in Minot last
December. Druen lived at Donnybrook
in the winter, moving to Tolley in the
spring and short time ago he located
at Mohall. He was doing good bust
ness and states that some days ne
made $50. He gave his wife good
home and she spent several thousand
dollars that he had earned.
Druen was born at Rockville, Wis,
and lived at Fort Dodge, Ia, fifteen
years. His wife's father lives in a
small town near Sparta, Wis.
Druen tells Of his wife's placing ad-
vertisements in matrimonial papers
after she married him, and says she
got good deal of money from her
victims. He states that he has many
letters which she received from mar
ried men and tells of a number Of
Matchmaking schemes that she put up
to him, which he promptly turned
down.
Druen considers that God placed his
little girl in the path of his bullet to
get her out of the clutches of mother
entirely unfit to raise her. AS Druen
told his story he broke down and cried
like child.

FEED AND CARE FOR
FARM SHEEP FLOCK
Diseases and Parasites Are
Readily Transmitted-Roots
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 flock
to another by single sheep.
Lambs, when two weeks aid, should
begin to eat grain in side pen, from
which ewes are excluded.
Roots go a long way in giving tone
to the general health of the flock and
fed with grain make both doubly valu-
able.
Sheep will eat off many weeds thai
cattle avoid and in this way help clean
the pastures.
Strawy beds at night make strawy
wool at shearing time. Raw winds
injure the lambs. Shelter your flock
and save money.
Mutton and wool are high enough
to encourage sheep raising, especially
on farms where pasture is sufficient,
with grain. hay and roots.
Heavy or forced feeding during the
first year or two Of the sleeps life
will often make it lose its teeth be-
tween the ages of three or four.

silk collar which still holds its own

The cape Is an accessory for street
wear. which is taken off indoors. II
adds very little in the way of warmth

style. A gown of this kind will look
well in any of the quiet colors In

Persian lamb fur, says writer in
the year book Of the United States
department of agriculture, can appar-
emily be produced In the United States
and seems to present commercial pos
sibilities. At the present time this fur
is brought to the United States
through Europe from the plateaus OF
Bokhara, section of central Asia
lying between Turkestan on the north
and Afghanistan on the south. In this
territory there are from 100000 to A.
100000 of what are known as Karakul
sheep, the name being derived from
Kara Kul, meaning Black Lake, q vii
lnge In the eastern part of Bokhara.
The fur Of the young Karakul lambs
is in great demands in the large cities
of the world, and the common practice
Is to kill the lambs when but a few
days old, in order to prevent the skin

country and more than 1000 head Of
sheep having one-half or three-fourths
Karakul blood. With further cross

however, that there Is no prospect OF
securing marketable skins by breeding
half-bred rams to ewes of any class.
1t 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 It's 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 barn in March. 1915. Before this
disaster took place, however, much
useful information had been acquired.
and 1t Is largely as result of this
work that the statement is made that
apparently Karakul sheep can BIO bred
successfully in this country.
The Karakul is sheep Of medium
size with black face and legs, and q
long coarse fleece OF some shade of
gray. In its 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
result OF this environment 1t seems
reasonable to assume that the Karakul
is well 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 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.

In the vanguard Of fashions and it's
strong points are emphasized now,
since they are all approved styles. The
skirt shows commendable method OF
managing the flare by means of panel
at the front, an inverted v-shaped yoke
at each side, supporting full side
pieces, and two panels that meet at
the center of the back. Each of these
panels is formed by deep inverted
plaits, so that the skirt sets trinity
about the hips. 1t is finished at the
bottom with heavy silk-covered cord.
The rather plain bodice is cut with
dropshoulder, and the arm's-eye is
finished with a narrow hem. The long,
tapering sleeve is set in under this
hem in the same manner as the side
pieces in the skirt are set in the yoke.
The bodice blouses at the front and
is joined to the skirt under plain
