ture the late lamb is more seriously

There is more difference between
the early lamb and the late one than
appears. in the young of other kinds of
animals on the farm. The focking
habit Of sheep, no doubt, influences
considerably in this respect, since the
sheep incline to crowd together in
punches as the weather grows warm
and the flies become troublesome.
There is no animal so sensitive to the
annoyance of the fly as the sheep, and
this works great hardship on the
younger lambs, as the mother sheep is
less attentive to the wants of her
lamb.

HIGH COST OF BONDS WILL DRIVE
RATTLERS FROM ORLEANS
STREETS.
AN APPEAL WILL Be TAKEN
case Decided in a Test Case Made
BY the City Against Hoa Leblanc
For Refusing to Comply With
City Ordinance.
New Orleans

New Orleans
The Supreme Court decided against
the Jltney drivers Of New Orleans
when they handed down a decision
declaring the city ordinance impos-
Ing an indemnity bond of $4,000 upon
each machine to be constitutional. AS
the case now stands, it indicates that
the jitney business is doomed. The
only recourse now Of the jitney owner
Is the Federal Court, to which an ap,
peal will be taken from the decision
OF the state court.
Cost Of a $4,000 indemnity bond
would be SO great that the operating
Of jitney would be Improbable, the
jitney drivers declare.
Practically all Of the machines are
individually owned, that is, one or
TWO men owning one machine. In,
stances are few of where one man OF
company owns more than one automo-
bile. Most of them are operated in
partnership, one man running the car
from 6 o'clock in the morning until
late IN the afternoon and being re-.
lieyed by the other who drives until
after midnight.
The premium on an indemnity bond
Is necessarily high, it is said, because
the insurance company faces the prob,
ability Of paying out the entire
amount Of the policy on one accident.
The case was decided in a test case
made by the city againt Hoa Leblanc,
who was fined $40 or eleven days in
jail for refusing to comply with city
ordinance 2346, which required the
$4,000 bond. This is the second time
The Supreme Court has passed on the
case, the jitney men winning in the
irst, a rehearing being granted
Chief Justice Frank A Monroe and
Associate Justices Somerville and
ProVosty rendered the opinion, while
Associate Justice Land and O'Neill
lissented.

GOOD FEED FOR BEEF CATTLE
Prediction Is Made That SiIage Will
Be One of Greatest Factors In
Reducing Cost of Beef.

Silage will be one of the greatest
factors in the future in reducing the
cost of producing beef. 1t is only
within the last few years that silage
has been fed beef cattle.
At the Indiana station an expert
ment including a ration of sixteen
pounds of shelled corn, three pounds
Of cCtton.seed meal and thirty pounds
Of silage was compared with a grain
ration containing fifteen pounds of 81.
lags and five pounds Of clover and
also with o third ration containing
ten pounds of clover but no silage.
The price per steer was as follows:
S21.5O for the full feed of siIage,
$3.50 for the half feed Of silage and
Sl2.79 for the lot receiving no siIage.
