l258 FIRST NUMBER OUT
Secretary Baker Takes Out Ini-
tial Misunderstanding Con-
tinues All Day Friday and
Throughout Night.
Long List of Numbers Given in Order
as Drawn, From Which Those Who
Will Be Called to Serve in
First Army Will Be
Selected.

Washington, July 21.-The drawing
for the big United States army was
not completed until early Saturday
morning. The drawing began at 9:45
Friday morning, and continued
throughout the day and night. Alto
gether 10000 numbers were drawn
from the big fish bowl. 1t was officially
stated that the first 1000 numbers
drawn represented more than 1,OOO,-
600 men, and it is not considered
probable that men representing any
number drawn after the first 1900
will be called before any exemption
board for the first army. The first
eight numbers were drawn respective
ly by Secretary of War Baker, Senator
Chamberlain of the senate military
committee, Congressman Dent of the
house military committee, Senator
Warren and Representative Kahn,
ranking minority members of the SEN
ate and house military committees;
Maj. Gen. Tasker Ii. Bliss, acting
chief of staff of the army; Maj. Gen.
Enoch CrOwder, provost marshal of
the army; and Major General Mccain,
adjutant general of the army. After
the first eight numbers had been drawn
the regular tellers took hold and
worked through until the long task
was completed.
In only small number of the larg-
est districts will the numbers above q
few thousand affect registrants Of
the 4,557 registration districts
throughout the country the largest has
something over 10000 numbers, while
the smallest has only about 1S5, and
the average is about 5000. AS the
drawing proceeded, 157 numbers were
withdrawn before one low enough to
affect the smallest district came out.
1t was 126, placing 1861 men number
ed 126 on their local lists as 157th in
order of liability.
The following list shows the num-
bers in the order in which they were
drawn. The first number in each case
represents the order in which the Sec
ond, or red-ink registry, number was
taken from the bowl. Four numbers
are given in each line. Beginning
with the first number, which was
drawn by Secretary Baker.

CHANGE IN SHEEP INDUSTRY
rwo-Thirds Of Animals Now Raised
for Mutton, With Wool as Incl
dent--Merinos Favored.

It is a remarkable fact that within
the past thirty-five years the sheep Of
The United States have changed won
aerfully. Formerly two-thirds were
little Merinos and were raised mainly
for wool, with mutton as the incident,
whereas today two-thirds are English
mutton sheep raised for meat, and
with the wool as the incident. There
are many Merinos on the Western
ranges, but most of them are fully one
third larger than they were IN 1882
when there were plenty of sheep and
not enough good muttons to talk about
The change was caused by the con-
tinual reduction in the price of wool,
which closed many wool growers out

taken place, it is very good for those
who remain or intend to go into the
business.

DIFFERENT RATION FOR SOWS
RacR Containing Alfalfa Should Be
So Placed That Hogs May Have
Free Access to 1t.

Brood sows generally suffer from
overlooking rather than from under
feeding. An abundance of fat is the
worst enemy Of the litter. Sows that
are to raise pigs should be taken away
from the rest of the hogs and be fed
different ration. Three good ratiOns
are: I'd One part high grade tankage,
IL parts corn, (2) skim milk or butter
milk and corn, using three parts Of
the milk to one part Of corn :
(3) wheat and shorts. Whichever one
of these rations is used, a rack con-
tanning alfalfa should be so placed
that the hogs have free access to the
hay at all times. In addition the sows
should be supplied with minerals. 1t
Is a good plan to dump the wood and
coal ashes in the lot where the sows
run. A mixture composed Of basket
of charcoal or fine coal, 5 pounds of
salt, 5 pounds of air-slaked lime, and
2 pounds of sulphur will give good re-
turns if kept easily available.

CATTLE TO RAISE FOR BEEF
Conformation and Physical characs-
teristics Naturally Adapted for
Fatteninq Are Essential.

fBy ]. L. TORMEY, University of Wis.,
conS1n)
Anyone who expects to feed cattle
probably for the market should not
try to feed an animal that is not by
conformation and other physical char
acteristics naturally adapted for fat-t
tening. In short, only good feeders
should be selected.
The good feeder comes from PARENTS
that are good feeders and whose am
cestry is of good feeding stock, accus-i
toned to consume large amounts Of
feed and deposit it upon their bodies
as meat of good quality. The impOr-i
tance Of good breeding upon the quail
ity Of animals kept for specific pur-
pose cannot be Overestimated, and
the use Of purebred sires In estab-l
fishing good working herds cannot be-
Oyervalued.
The mating of common ancestor
of one of no known breeding with al
purebred sire and continuing to use al
purebred sire on the following gem
erations of offspring is known as grad

GIVE HOGS MORE ATTENTION.
AS Maruin of Profit Becomes Less 1t
Behooves Farmer to Abandon Old
Slipshod Methods.

It is usually considered that the
sow must on the average raise at
least five pigs in order to make any
profit for the farmer. If this is true,
and if the price of hogs in the last
years has not kept pace with the adj
vancing price of grains, as some farm
ers think, it becomes at once apparent
that the SOW Iuust raise as many pigs
now. AS the margin of profit be-
comes less it becomes necessary to
abandon the slipshod methods and
devote more attention to the care and
management of the enterprise con-
cerned.

'What has come to him, he has

This is what the navy department
thinks of Admiral William Shepherd
Benson, chief of naval operations,
president of the general board of the
navy and the one man, above all 9th
ers, upon whom rests the success or
failure of the fleet.
When congress recently wrote into
the law that Admiral Benson's orders
''were to be considered as emanating
from the secretary of the navy and
have full force and effect as SUCH" 1t
showed what it thought Of him.
The chief of operations is truly a
Southern gentleman. He was born on
a small plantation in the heart Of
Georgia in 1855, and has carried with
him throughout his brilliant career the
