TALKS ON THRIFT.
WHISKEY'S DECREASING TAX
ON THRIFT.

Whatever may be the consensus of
opinion as 20 the necessity for and
dc STABILITY of alcoholic liquors rs
beverages. no thinking man Will
deny that drinking is an expensive
habit. costly both to the individual
and to the state. A dollar can be
spent quicker aud with less to show
fer it at the bar than in any other
way, and the man who is a ''sood
spender" and keeps pace with the
crowd around the social glass must
keep pace that kills.
OF late years the product On ana
consumption of liquors and beer has
Increased enormously, and from OBJ
servation one would conclude that
everybody drinks little and most
people too much. The resultant evils
are widespread aud far-reaching. even
to the third and fourth generation, 70"
the cost does not end with the
walters check. but with the bills for
police. almshouses, prisons and Pot
ter's fields.
The man who INDUCES this habit
must realize that he is putting self
imposed tax upon his thrift, as well
as tax upon his energies. Of what

the easiest way to get it in a bank
u'ck--to the other fellows account
is to buy the drinks for the
crowd. 4.
Cheering news along this line
comes from government reports on
the consumption of liquor for the
past year. Alcohol is lcssening its
tax upon thrift. The consumption of
liquor in 1913 was 143,220,O56 gal
Ions. In 1911 it was 139.13S.501 gal
loans. while in 1915 t was l23, 3D.

lion gallons in two years, Likewise
in the matter of tobacco. In 1915 we
burned up six hundred million less

the resent state laws regulating tax

tn only city in the state that is
handicapped by the same law. Cities

HANDLING BREEDING
RAM is PERPLExlNG
Best Breeders Genuine Animal to
Small Yard, Giving Him Best
of Care and Feed.

The breeding ram is a hard propo-
sition to handle through the breeding
season. Some claim they get best re-
suits by turning the ram with the flock
at night and stabling him through the
day, feeding literally variety of
feeds-oats, corn, vegetables, etc. 9th
ers reverse the program-turn him
with the flock during the day and con-
fine him at night. Others still adhere
to the oldtime practice of turning him
out with the flock and letting him take
his chances throughout the breeding
season, four to six weeks.
The practice with the best breeders
and flock owners is to buy the best
hign-priced ram available and get all
the service possible by individual
breeding. combining the ram to small
stable or yard and giving him the best
OF care and feed, thus securing twice
40 many lambs as from the ram that
q turned out with the flock.
