PRE-MEMORIAL DAY
SERVICES ON SUNDAY

The veterans of Cham berlin Post
would in this public manner express
their appreciation of the fact that the
citizens of this town and county SO
cordially come forward. to aid them in
honoring those of their number who
have passed on before, especially the
uniformed organizations Of St Johns
bury who have responded so unanI-
mously. Bodies who for several years
past have not answered this call are
| foremost now to grant their aid, and
! his in spite of the strenuous times.
! Enlistments under state call to arms;
naval reserve force called out. the
! Presidents proclamation under n2s-
Ftional enactment of seiective conscfip-
1tion, all these seem only 10 increase
i the veneration so manifest. The vet
Grams of '61-'65 can only renew their
pledge of fealty to the government

7 the green mounds of their honored
:; comrades.

IDEAL. COVERING FOR BED
Those Who Are Fond OF Sleeping Out
doors viii Find This Comfort
in Cold Weather.

One Of the finest, lightest, warRlest.
and In all ways most satisfactory COW
erings for use on outdoor beds In very
gold weather is lightweight feather
bed with removable, washable cover.
This Is not new idea, since feather
beds were used In the old country
years ago for coverings. The cold,
crisp outdoor air puts buoyancy into
the feathers that is delightful. You
do not feel any weight, as when the
bed is loaded down with covers. and
are not hampered as in sleeping bag,
but can turn with ease. The feathers
follow the curves of the body no cold
air is, let in, and one feels as COM
Portable as If In a sort Of therInos COM
partrnent For children dress weights
may be sewed in the corners to hold

from any thought Of danger there.
Women who nre accustomed To the low

from colds than women who do not In

therefore, do not consider II dangerous

Follow Medieval Styles.
Children have adopted medieval
clothes, but this as not announcing n
revolution, for they have insisted up
on straight lines for years.
The real revolution Is that they
have taken up coiors and do not put

TAGGING OF SHEEP
Is IMPORTANT WORK
Operation Is Simple and Consists
of Placing Animal on Side
and Removing Wool.

(By r. Fl. WILLIAMS. Professor OF AMI
mai Husbandry. unipersity of Arizona,)
All good shepherds In Europe tag
their ewes. The operation LIZ simple
and consists of placing the sheep on
Its side and by means of hand shears
cutting away the soiled wool and ma
nure which may have accumulated
around the rear end. Anyone can per-
form this work and 1t lis an especially
clean and sanitary, and also one will
have less trouble ut larnbing time for
the lambs will more easily find their
way TO the nipple IL the tag ends have
been clipped from around the udder.
Very often young lambs will get lock
of wool In their mouths instead OF the
teat, and they often suck in dangerous
amounts of wool which accumulate In
the stomach, and often cause death.
1t Is probable that quite large per
centage Of the mortality In very young
lambs comes from this source.
1t will pay. best to tag the ewes, bu;
many shepherds also tag the wetherst
rams and lambs. One will find TINT
the work Of shearing is SO much clean
er, and can be performed more rapidly
so that there is not much additional
work. When it comes to selling the
wool. one viii easily secure more mon
ey for clip that has been taken froIn
weIl-tagged sheep, and In t1aa future
when wool Is bought on its merits
this is bound to be aa economic ad
vantage.
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1917-01-04

the breed has been decided upon, the
first step is to procure a number of
sure purebred sires Of that breed
to be mated with the females owned
by the members. If there are few
good privately owned sires already in
the community they can be put out for
service and the expense divided on a
pro rata basis.
II additional sires are found neces-
sary, 1t should be possible for the as
ISOLATION to secure them at consider
able saving Ia price through the selec-
hon of committee OF competent men
authorized to make the purchases. It
will in some cases be advisable to
have qualified veterinarian as one
member Of the committee.
Placing sires.
At the opening of the breeding sea-
son the sire should he placed at the
most convenient points and put in
the hands OF capable ana efficient men
who understand the breeding question
and who will take proper care of the
animals In their charge. After each
second season it .lay prove advisable
TO change or Elaift the sires. This
