LEAD THE WORLD

Today the United States leads the
world not only in the length of it's
railways, but in their character and
the low cost of their construction
and equipment. Moreover, every
mile of American railway was built
with labor costing from twice to
three times that paid in Europe and
with money for which an average of
one per cent more had to be guar
anteed. At European rates for labor
and money, American railways could
have been built for approximately
$4,000 per mile, or. one-third the
cost of European railways.

The public school is the commun'

place. The community is complex

individualized. Every shop is a prl-i

are discrete bodies; the church, cv-

ARGUMENT FOR METAL POSTS
Coming Into Use on Many Farms
Where Permanent Fences Are Being
Made-They viii Not Burn.

There are several good and sound
arguments for the use of metal posts,
and they are coming into use on many
farms where permanent fences are be-
ing made.
These posts can be driven. In most
cases. not needing to be set. They
do not rot, and will not burn. They
also furnish ground connection as
a protection against lightning in case
Of wire fences.
Wire fences can be grounded at
small cost of time and money, but as
general thing they are not. The
little work and expense needed will
usually be postponed until animals
are killed.
Fires which get beyond control. and
those set to burn out weeds and rub
bish along the fences will not damage
either metal or concrete posts; and all
these reasons are convincing many
that such posts will prove more eco
nomical than wood where wood is
hard to get and replace when through
service.

must be carried out, else it ferments

CARING FOR LANDING EWES
Weak Animals Cannot Give Birth 20
Vigorous Lambs Furnish Dry,
Comfortable Shelter.

The ewes that are to lamb in the
spring should have good care in the
winter. so they will come through
strong and healthy. Weak ewes cam
not give birth to vigorous lambs, and
often they will die in the attempt to
give birth to their offspring.
It becomes necessary, therefore, to
keep the ewes under good shelter In
the time of storms and bad weather,
says an Oklahoma writer in Farm
Progress. The eve that must stand
out In the snow or rain storm will get
her wool bedrabbled and become
chilled and weakened. She should
have dry, comfortable shelter, and
here she should stay except when the
days are bright and sunny and the
ground Is firm. To turn her put on
soft fields may result disastrously, for
she may mire down and strain her
self or perish.
The eve should be fed plenty OF
good clover or alfalfa hay, with the
addition Of fair grain ration. It is
not necessary for her to grow fat, but
she must be kept in good flesh, so
that she will be strong at lambfng
time. like oats for a feed, but q
little corn mixed with the oats is
beneficial A straw bedding for the
sheep will be appreciated Sheep
should not be allowed to sleep on
damp or wet ground In the winter.
Their wool should hn kont dry o. ofs
times.
Keep hogs and dogs out of the sheep
pen, and when the ewes are ready to
lamb separate them from the rest OF
the flock. One should have COM
Portable stall In which the eve may
be put to bear her lamb. Here she
may be kept until the lamb has
learned to suck and knows the moth
er we'll.
