Frankfort, Ky.-Educational lead

Hughes act, providing for agricultural
and vocational training and prepare
ton of teachers for those branches,
are making up statements showing
how much the Louisville schools, the
normal schools and the University OF
Kentucky each can apportion to the
cooperative fund. When the amounts
have been satisfactorily apportioned
State Supt. V. o. Gilbert will lay the
proposal before Gov. Stanley, who, in
order to take advantage of the act
must appoint a board to administer
eral Assembly, at its next regular SEES
sion, can formally accept the arrange
ment and provide for the extension OF
the work, as the amount apportioned
to Kentucky by the Federal Govern
ment increases year by year.
1t is probable that the State Board
of Education, composed of Supt. Gil
bert, Attorney General M. M. Logan
and Secretary of State James P. Lew
is will be the temporary board.
The Louisville schools and the
State Normals and University will not
divert any of their money into a spe
cial fund, but will adapt the work
now being done by them to conform
to the requirements of the Federal
act; so that they will receive from
the Government a dollar for every
dollar they employ in this work tc

ARRANGE QUARTERS FOR RAM
His Rouqh Treatment of Ewes Is
Source of Great Loss to Farmer
Keep Him Separated.

Allowing the ram to stay with the
ewes through the winter and spring
until lambing or shearing time is not
always the best practice. It's good
for the ram in case the ewes are well
fed; he will get the lions share, occu-
py the space for three ewes at the
trough and rack, and grow fat and
abusive. He will choose TO eat where
the ewes have peacefully lined them
selves up rather. than take an open
place where feed is untouched, writes
II. A. Hayne in National StOckman and
Farmer. He stalks about and buntS the
ewes out of his way on all occasions.
His rough treatment, bunting his
way and crowding up to feed racks is
a source of abortions and premature
births.
Sheep values justify every care to
increase numbers and values of next
years lamb crop.
Better arrange to put his ramshlp
in other quarters than the eve fold.
That doesn't mean to isolate him in
some small, dark. damp corner of the
barn basement or to exile him to q
back lot without shelter or regular
feed.

New York.-The Conference COM
mittee of railroad managers author
lied President Wilson's mediatOrs to
make whatever arrangements were
necessary with the railroad brother
hoods to call off the threatened strike.
The formal letter in which this author
iZation was made, signed by Elisha
Lee, Chairman of the Managers COM
mittee, was as follows:
I'm the national crisis precipitated
by events which we heard the national
conference committee of railroads
joins with you in the conviction that
neither at home nor abroad should
there be fear or hope that the efficient
operation of the railroads of the coun-
try will be hampered or impaired.
Therefore you are authorized to
assure the nation there will be no
strike and as a basis for such assur-
ance we hereby authorize the Commit
tee of the Council of National Defense
to grant to the employees who are
about to strike whatever adjustment
your committee deems necessary to
guarantee the uninterrupted and eff
cient operation of the railroads as an
indispensable arm of national de-
fense." Secretary Lane issued this
statement:
Regardless of the decision of the
Supreme Court on the Adamson law
the basic eight-hour day will go into
effect The details are being worked
upon by joint committee. which will
have its negotiations completed.
Victory For Trainmen.
The decision reached by the man
ayers at their midnight conference
means that the brotherhoods have won
an important victory, although it does
not bring them all their original de.
mands.
Immediately after Secretary Lane
had made his announcement the broth
erhood leaders sent kilograms to all
the general chairmen informing them
that the strike had been declared Off
The announcement of the managers
that they had yielded apparently came
as a surprise to the brotherhood
chiefs, for they were in bed when
summoned again to the conference
room.

PAYS FOR 1850
ACRES OF LAND
From the Crop of Wheat on So
Acres in Western Canada.

This story of paying for your land
out of one years crop is fully authen-
ticated by a great many farmers in
Western Canada.
And now, all that the farmer makes
is velvet and you find, him going more
extensively into stock raising, for all
authorities agree that in a short time
there will be a demand for live stock,
such as even will tax the vast re-
sources of Western Canada. They
will go into stock raising because Of
the adaptability of the country to pro-
vide food and fodder without feeding
grain if necessary. They will go into
stock and improve their places. They
will install steam and heating plants
in fact, many are now doing it. They
will have automobiles, In fact in many
districts there is not a farmer but has
one. They will beautify their homes
and erect fine barns until the whole
country will be as attractive as many
of the counties in the best states in
the Union. But We started out to tell
you of the farmer who paid for $50
acres of land from the crop of wheat
off of So acres. The Holden district
on the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific
does not appear to the ordinary OBJ
server to be any better than many
other districts along that line, and
probably isn't. 1t was in this district
that John Larcome, a settler, pur-
chased in 1915 160 acres of raw prai-
RE land. He broke and seeded 50
acres. His crop turned out WELL and
he sold the greater portion of it for
$3.50. His land cost him S16.50 per
acre. or S2.640. So that the crop from
the 50 acres paid for the land and left
a balance of over $500, which with
part of the crop left over would just
pay for the cost of operation. This
of other farmers in Alberta and Sas-
katchewan having been able to do the
same.
Sales of land are being reported
from many districts in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta at good prices.
And values are yet low, but with the
flow of any value that will take place
after the war, no doubt they will be
considerably increased. The horne
steads in the Park sections which are
to be had actually free are having
the attention of a good class of set
tiers. who want to go into mixed farm
