ly to the comfort of the animal. and
the profits from the flock will be ma
tcrially increased. Where the pasture
is large it should be divided in order
that the sheep will have a change i'll
pasture and at the same time get Il
maximum amount of feed from the
land. When sheep Craze on large areas
they will Craze the grasses they like
best and leave the unpalatable kinds,
which are wasted.
The ewes which are very poor in
condition should be separated from the
rest of the flock and given a little more
feed and attention in order that their
condition may be brought up to the
average of the flock.
The sowing Of rape in the feed lots
provides an excellent place to Craze the
thin ewes. and by utilizing the feed
lots in this manner the farm flock can
be paStured from land which lies idle
during the summer.
Lots of fresh water and shade are
essential to the flock. Where natural
shade ann be obtained a few old
poles and boards put together will pro-
tect the animals from the hot sun.
Care should be used when CHANGING
from one kind of pasture to another,
especially if the new pasture is more
succulent than the old, as the change
may cause the animals to bloat and re-
suit in a few deaths.
The health of the sheep should be
guarded in summer as we'll as other
seasons. Avoid cold. damp weather
after Shearin@. Sheep should not be
exposed to cold. driving rains after the
wool has been removed, as this is liza
bic to result in pneumonia and cause Il
loss to the flock.
Sheep should be dipped when the
weather has become warm. or directly
after slearing. Dipping kills the ex-
ternal parasites, puts the skin in
healthy condition and helps make a
luXuriant growth of wool.

Murders Puzzle CHICAGO.

Chicago. Sept. ~10.-Chicago has the
unenviable distinction of showing more
unSolved murders than any other city
i'll the world. according to Il report
lust compiled by its oroner. Each
year some fifty of its more thar oON
homlcldcS are committed by person or
persons unknown. How badly this
compares with London. for example,
is shown by the fact that in the latter
city last year there were just thirty
one murders, of which all hut two were
explained.
An examination of the c]oroner's list
shows that the majority Of the crimes
which are never traced are against
foreigners. among whom Italians cas-.
lily predOminate. Some are strangled.
some shot and more stabbed. Where
the unsolved crimes are reported from
the American and not the foreign
quarters they usually bear the marks
or de-cnorary or insane cunning.

From the time that bird was Matched

Still another place where we NAV

may not have disease to combat but
we surely will not get as many eggs,

right thing to do is either to sell off tho
birds or make more houses.

Things the Farmer Likes to Know

Her Value Depends Upon Ability to

Her value depends upon the quantity
of raw material she can eat in a given
time and convert protitably into a fin
ished commodity. The important ques-
ton is: How much does it cost to
produce a gallon of milk and a pound
of butter fat?"
This is we'll recognized by all dairy
men. as shown by them when they
purchase cows. They ignore the cow
with the small mouth, the shallow
body, the flat sides, the hard. resistant
hid and the wiry hair because they
know that these are evidences of limit

Five Million Prisoners In Europe.

New York. Sept. 17.-More than

conflncd in prison camps of the hellig-
ercnt nations. according to DR.. John

from Europe.
pT. Mott visited the prison camps of
nearly all the countries at war. He
said that of the prisoners Germany
has the greatest number. approximate
ly 1.1on.OOO: Russia. with about 1,:rON,-
GOO comes next: then Austria. with

increasing, more than 100000 having
been added to the camps since the be-
ginning of the last Russian drive. In
six weeks, DR.. Mott added. 100000
passed through kiey.
Il found" Dr.. Mott said, that re-
ports as to the treatment prisoners Of
war We're receiving have been greatly
exaggerated. IN all of the countries
the prisoners receive virtually the
same food and care that the armies of
the respective countries do. Everything
possible is done for their comfort and
their health"

they are the ones that cost most-he-
cause experience teaches that such
COWS are the great producers.
But words fail to express the folly
OF selecting and paying a premium for
such COWS and then giving them no
more feed than could be eaten by a
cheap COW, sadly lacking in capacity.
Every COW is endowed With Il certain
capacity to eat. digest and assimilatc
food. Every cow is endowed with a
certain ability to manufacture milk
and butter fat from her food. There
fore it is unquestionably true that to
supply the feed in amounts and quail
ity necessary to take full advantage
of the cows ability to make milk and
butter fat. even though her CAPACITY
to handle the food is taxed, results in
greater production and larger profits.
The better the COW the greater her
power to eat and the greater her Hbil-
ity to produce.
