CARING FOR LANDING EWES
Weak Animals Cannot Give Birth 70
Vigorous Lambs-Furnlsh Dry,
Comfortable Shelter.

The ewes that are to lamb in the
spring should havo good care in the
winter, SO they will come through
strong and healthy. Weak ewes can
not give birth to vigorous lambs, and
often they will die in the attempt to
give birth to their offspring.
1t 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 out 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 lambing
time. like oats for q feed, but a
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 be kept dry at all
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 a 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.

Rye as feed for hogs ranks slight

small, however, that for all practical
purposes a bushel of rye may be con-

foremost in the attack on Mont Saint

unaware that the British troops were
lying behind the wayside banks, ac-

when under fire, but not actually en-
gagged. Then, at the proper moment,
Wellington's voice was heard, "clear

DIFFER IN SLIGHT DEGREE
Words Possession" and "obsession"
Really Have Very Much the Same
Meaning, According to Authority.

Possess and obsess are etymologic-
ally related, but usage has given them
slightly different meanings. Both are
from the Latin, and the second syl-
liable of both, sess, is from sedere, to
sit; therefore a Session is a sitting;
but possession is to sit before or near
a thing as owning 1t, and obsession is
to be sat upon by 1t. This is not very
illuminative, but 1t serves to mark
different shades of meaning. Yet the
two words are so nearly synonymous
that both have been used to describe
the persecution of human body by
an evil spirit, though possession means
operating from within and obession
those who were possessed with devils,
and the Oxford dictionary gives one
OF the definitions of obsession as the
hostile action of the devil, or an evil
spirit besetting anyone; actuation by
the devil or an evil spirit from with
out" But while the authorities recog-
nize a technical difference between
possession and obsession as relating
to the DEVILS operations from within
or from the outside, they do not diff
ferentiate the moral results of the
cases. Etymologically speaking, there
Is shade of difference between the
two words, but the chronological diff
ference is only skin deep, while, NOR
ally speaking there is little or no diff
ference between being operated by the
devil from within or worked by him
from the outside. In quoting some ex-
amples of the use of obsession as re-
Iatins to evil spirits, the Oxford die
tionary remarks that. These cases
belong rather to obsession than pos
session, the spirits not actually inhab-
ting the bodies, but hanging or how
sring about them" Leaving the devil
Out of the case entirely and coming to
ordinary affairs 1t may be said that
while obsoss and possess are different
in some meanings they are synony-

The lowly and innocent goat is

cartoons and jeers than all the rest
of the animal kingdom except man
himself. The only time he is con-
sidered respectable is when he is
dead, and then he must be called
mutton, because 1t wouldn't do to

menu. He is cruelty misunderstood
by perverse word which stands
for skunks, carp and guinea hens

the harmless capra hircus. Last
Saturday 10 goats came down the
street and boarded the cattle train
for Kansas City We did not learn
whether they were consigned to the
City Hall or the stock yards. They
were raised by l.. o. Mills, north of
town, and were escorted to market
by him and Doc Jones' This puts n
new face on the goat. How many
people knew that the goat was a
profitable crop, like onions or ducks
or buyers of mining stock? And
still it is true. Mr.. Mills says there
is good money in them. When goat
can convert raw material like cookie
burrs, rags, cans, old fence posts
and other odds and ends into real
green money, he is unquestionably
an economic asset, and his culture
should not be sneezed at, in this

the house to look at some traps that
he had set, and it being foggy
morning, he evidently became lost
and just kept going. When he did
not return after a reasonable length
of time, his folks started to search
for him, and got some neighbors to
join in the hunt, and in a short time
the whole country was notified and
everybody was looking for the UNI
fortunate young man. No trace
was found of him until the next day

Mrs. B. j. Patterson received a

north China. He is William B. Nor
ris and has advanced to the position
of quartermaster, having served four
years in the army. He writes very
interestingly about the conditions in
China and tells many stories of the
trouble that he has seen in that
country. He says that one well
trained American company could
whip a whole legion of the small
boys from the Orient. He claims that
the Japs do not compare at all with
the American soldier in any way.
This company sees some strenuous
scenes there and they have plenty to
