times q feed Of bright straw is re!ished
by the ewes.
Sheep kept in muddy yards for long
periods are almost ure to get sore

will be no trouble.
Raising Lambs Profitable.

March II there is plenty Of good feed
for the ewes and warm shelter for the
lambs. Otherwise the lambs had bet
ter not arrive until later when the
weather is warmer and the ewes car
get some grass to increase their flow
Of milk.
Some farmers have the lambs born
in January Or February and fatten
them for earlier markets. This neces'
| states much care, abundant feed and
warm shelter, but it Is a profitable
business when we'll managed.
When the lambs are ten days old
they will begin eating grain and hay
Fix a creep for them so they can have
a trough apart from their mothers,
give them some wheat bran and
| cracked corn and continue to feed
them all they will eat while on pas
ture, if they are to be fattened and
sold three or four months old. The
best time to sell the lambs is before
they are n year old.
Some good farmers allow the ewes
| and lambs to Craze during the sum
mer with little or no grain, wean the
lambs In August and turn them into
the standing corn. There Is no place
where a lamb will fatten faster than
in a cornfield eating grass and weeds
and weed seeds and the lower blades OF
corn.
Lambs should not be kept on old
pastures that have been grazed by old
er sheep. There is danger of stom,
ach worms. However, If tobacco dust
or stems are kept before the sheep at
all times, they will not be troubled
with internal parasites.
Three hundred farmers reports give
$3.50 as the average cost for keeping
a eve and lamb, as against $10.15 as
the average return in wool.
Nearly all good sheep men keep q

to the eve flock and take the place OF

MARKET WAS UNDER RESTRAINT
Because of Increased Concern Regard
 ing Russian Situation.

New York, May 15-The entire stock list, save for a few noteworthy excep- tions, was under restraint today be- ] cause of further liquidation in rails and fractions and increased concern re- specting the Russian situation. In the main the tendency seemed upward, but the steady offering of transportation shares and the acute weakness of ultil- ities more than offset operations on the constructive side.
 At their lowest levels St. Paul, Pacif1cs coalers and some of the east ern lines registered losses of one to two points with slight recovery in the later dealings. Among fractions In- terborough preferred made an extreme decline of 7-3 points to 51 7-S, Brook Iyn Transit fell 2 1-2 to 56 and Third bonds of the latter company breaking six points to 3s. a new minimum.
 Depression in the local issues was in tensifed by overnight statements of operating officials, in which attention was directed to the disadvantages un- der which those corporations are now laboring, especially the greater cost of labor and materials.
 United States Steel and kindred in dustrials were temporarily affected by one or two points, munitions and equip ments making like reversals. In part these losses were retrieved towards the close. Shippings also were under moderate pressure, with motors and some of the inactive specialties. Sears Roebuck lost 1-2 points and General Chemical 15 points at POS on a single sale.
 Industrial Alcohol was the outstand- ing feature on it's net rise of 2 5-S points to 125 5-S. the stock being in rrot,ss of steady accumulation and ranking second in activity to United States Steel. Affiliated stocks like DistiIlers Securities and American Mating preferred were better by one tc two points.

 agers of intercollegiate sports at large

 ly. They are going right ahead with
 their work. One of them summed it up
 aptly as follows:
 we are going ahead with all our
 plans. The whole situation is up to
 the government. No one knows what will happen or what sacrifices will be demanded. We only know that every college man will do his part. Con scription will not take all the college men or college athletes and those re- maining will be in sports. unless the government desires otherwise. We feel that athletics are a splendid pre- paration for military service.
 Tt is the wish of the government that business be carried on. Colleges are in business just as much as any one, and athletics are a recognized part of the curriculum.
 We intend to carry on our sport along most economic lines. reducing expenses wherever we can. We want to play our schedules this fall and we don't want any of the boys on the team called 'sIackers.' Conscription should prevent any misunderstanding of that kind and we are prepared to turn over any proportion of our re- ceiptS above expenses to the Red Cross or any other worthy fund that is designated.
 ''O.Ir coaches have to be considered. It is not fair that they be forced to lose their income. any more than it is fair that any of our professors be de- prived of theirs, or any business or made coaching a life work and are well over the age limit to be called out. They are willing to do their part financially and have already offered to work for less salary to help in that way, should it prove necessary, or to donate part of their income to any designated fund aiding the country's cause.
 We feel that the government will want the colleges to go ahead with if 1t in no way interferes with war plans and military training and we are ready ans willing to join in a movement embracing all the and colleges for the pur- pose of turning over a large part of ! our net receipts to any fund decided | on. Such a fund would amount to a | big sum if the movement is national | an dit would meet with public support, | of that I am sure"

Upon abrupt stoppage, the head is urged downwards by inertia, rocking a trig- ger, by the aid of a conical cellar, and thus releasing a spring striker.
 Alternatively, for electric firing, the heavy head may contain a small bat tery and the striking pin may complete a circuit for an electric fuse in the cartridge. If the vanes are helical, rota tion of the bomb during descent will ensue, and may be utilized by means of a centrifugal governor to maintain an electric contact even when the safety rod is released by the lock- ing propeller, until movement ceases. Automatic time interval measurements are secured by an apparatus wherein the passage of the bomb from the launching shoot closes a contact so that suitable connections may actuate a recording pen, the sound wave of the explosion being recorded by means of a mass, suspended by a pair of stretched steel wires and forced against a second contact device by the shock to the ships hull.

A device for deep sea sounding has been patented in England. It is based on the proposition that the interval between the release of a small bomb designed to fall through the water at a known speed will be registered on a ship by the explosion which takes place on contact with the bottom. The bomb is adapted to take an ordinary four-bore sporting cartridge within a heavy lead casting fitted with steady ing vanes and an annular ring fo- menting additional resistance.
