ARRANGE QUARTERS FOR RAM
His Rough Treatment Of Ewes u
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
r. A. Hayne in National Stockman and
Farmer. He stalks about and hunts the
ewes out Of his way on all occasions.
His rough treatment, bunting his
way and crowding up to feed racks is
q 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 ramship
in other quarters than the w fold.
That doesn't mean to isolate him In
some small, dark, damp corner Of the
barn basement or to exile him to a
back lot without shelter or regular
feed.

TO PLACARD DIRTY PREMISES
California City Adopts Unique Plan 70
Raise Standard Of Cleanliness In
Residences and Business Houses.

The city Of Alameda, Cal, has adopt
ed q unique plan to raise the standard
Of cleanliness in residences and BUSH
ness houses. In future the sanitary
condition of the various premises is to
be shown by placards bearing the in
scriptions "Clean," DIRTY" or "Filthy."
Those places which do not satisfy the
board Of health will be placarded as
dirty or filthy until they comply with
the demands Of the authorities.
This action was decided upon by the
board Of health, which appointed a
committee to post the placards and to
care for the general health Of the city.
The board of health intends to inspect
not only the business houses but also
the private residences Of the city and
to afix the placards to every house in
the city. Those residences which can
be designated as "clean" will not be
%placarded. but those in which sanitary
conditions are disregarded will be des-
grated as dirty" OF filthy" until the
house owners remedy the conditions,
upon which the placards will be re-
moved.
As the board Of health has arbitrary
powers under the city charter, the pla-
cards must remain on the houses or
laces Of business until the board is
satisfied that the conditions therein
are sanitary. II any householder tears
down the placards, the extreme pen.
atty Of the law can be enforced.

AMERICAN SHOES IN MOSCOW
Even With Freight and Import
Charges Added Phces Lower
Than Russian Footwear.

American shoes which were put on
sale in Moscow, late in the autumn,
seem to have made n good impression,
remarks Russia, a Journal Of Russian
American trade. The Journal Of the
A%ll-llussian Company Of Tanneries
says of them: "Shoes imported from
America have appeared on the market
in Moscow. Some firms have already
put them on sale, and speak very high
" Of them. The workmanship Of the
shoes seems to first impression to be
rough, but the prices Tin spite of the
fact that the price Of footwear has
risen by 25 per cent in America), plus
the import duty and cost Of transpor-
tation, are lower by two or three
rubles a pair Isl to $1.50) than cur
rent Russian prices. One is forced
to believe that the import Of these
shoes must increase In the near future,
although, on the other hand, It must
be regarded as a handicap that the
American supplier makes 1t q condi-
ton that a third Of the cost must be
paid In cash at the time the order Is
taken, and the balance Of the money
on the arrival Of the goods at
~Vladivostok."

MUNsTERsuRc ON SALOON.

The late Prof. Hugo Munsterburg
Of Harvard, recognized authority in
America on German ideals, gave to
the public in 1907 this opinion Of the
saloon:
"There Is nothing more degrading
and nc more atrocious insult to civil
lied life than the American saloon. It
has poisoned the social atmosphere
for the masses; in 1t the workingman
squanders his savings, and the healthy
man devastates his energies and be-
comes a wreck. Political corruption
Irradiates from the saloon into the
whole public life and a thousand ways
lead from the saloon to the peniten-
tiary. It Is a blessed movement which
now turns with overwhelming energy
against the horrors Of this evil and
source Of infection. There may be dis
agreements as to the best ways and
means, disagreement whether strict
prohibition or education towards tenn
perance is the more reliable meth
cd; but there is nc disagreement as
to the fact that the saloon has to be
wiped out, and the day seems near
indeed when-thanks to women-the
fight against the saloon will be taken
up in almost every state"

by that best Of all exercises has &C
quired a physique the possession OF
| which Is Indispensable to success as
a boxer" says SNOWY" Baker, Aus.
tralian fight promoter and physical
culture expert
THE development that results from
natatorial exercises is superior to that
procured by any stroug.man system,
for the muscular bulginess so pro-
nounced In wrestlers and weight lifters
Is rarely conspicuous in the swimmer.
"When In repose the swimmers
muscles do not obtrude themselves,
but. nevertheless, when the effort Is
wanted. when the strain Is put upon
them. they respond readily.
cit Is somewhat Of a coincidence,
too, that in build the swimmer and
boxer are much the same. Boxers usu-
ally have their weight where 1t is
most needed. being big of shoulder and
light in hips and legs. Many good
swimmers are heavy limbed. but the
majority show a tendency to taper
from the chest down and approach
the ideal Of physical beauty immortal
lied in Greek statuary.
"In both swimming and boxing the
muscles brought into play are regu-
larry tensed and relaxed. The SWIM
mer making his stroke exerts all his
strength, and then, recovering for the
next one, the muscles are at rest. The
boxer delivers his blow with tensed
muscles and then relaxes. So it goes
throughout q contest in the water or
in the ring, alternate strain and rest
for the muscles employed. and so both
produce a condition where the muscles
retain their elasticity and respond
readily and quickly to all calls made
upon them.
Il have before today expressed the
opinion that one swimming stroke, the
Australian crawl. produces a shoulder
development that Is a necessary pos
session Of the man with a Knockout"
punch. So far as my experience of
boxing goes, the favored few who have
the handy gift of being able to dis
pose Of al opponent with n "clout"
are always men with loose shoulder
action and good shoulder development.
Now, with the crawl stroke most of
the work falls to the shoulder and
arms, and the continual effort to pull
the body through the water with q
swinging action results in such a de-
veiOpment."

Temperance
l@ NOteS"
IN EUROPE.
Conducted by the National Woman
Christian Temperance, Union.)

One of the prize publicity methods
of the brewery and wine interests is
to contrast the amount Of drunkenness
in one Of our prohibition states, usual
ly Maine, with the amount of drunk
enness In the wine-drinklng. countries
of France and Italy in an attempt to
show the superiority of the latter in
the matter Of sobriety. So far from
being correct. the statesmen Of France
and Italy have long recognized intem-
perance as one Of the most serious
evils with which they have to contend.
In 1912 the italian premier, Hon. Luigi
Luzzatti, introduced a bill into the
Italian parliament providing measures
for the reduction Of intemperance, and
presented a great mas Of evidence
showing that deaths from alcoholism
in Italy are rapidly increasing, while
the general death rate is falling. Prof.
Cesare Lombroso, the world-renowned
%allenist, recently deceased, published
in the Archlve dl Psichiatria Of which
he was the editor, q stirring appeal
from Doctor Antonini, superintendent
Of Of the largest insane asylums In
Italy, in which he said: "The Hospi-
tails and insane asylums are filled with
alcoholic patients; consumption pro-
noted by alcoholic ~degeneracy RACES;
pellagra joins itself with alcoholic poi
soning; crime is becoming more fire.
quent among the young; the suicides
are legion; the people are growing
steadily weaker and more morally de-
generate" To this appeal, Lombroso
added his Endorsement, with a demand
for stringent legislation. At the Milan
International Congress on Alcoholism,
1913, prominent Italian delegates
spoke strongly Of the growing evils
caused by alcohol. Hon. 81. e. Falci-
oni, Italian secretary of state, report
ed that deaths from alcoholism have
nearly trebled since 1889. Against Of
fetal declarations like these the argu-
ments of brewers and winemen and
their supporters have no weight.

Bristol Has City Manager.

The adoption Of a city manager by
the town of Bristol, Tenn. with a
population of about 10000, may not be
Of the highest importance from a po-
litical viewpoint except for one reason
it adds to the evidence that the city
manager idea is spreading, leaving the
inference almost a certainty that 1t is
a question Of time only until admins

the biggest cities as well as the smaller
towns. The choosing Of a manager for

POPULARITY OF HORSE RACES
Past Year Was One Of Most Brilliant
In History Of 1rottin0 Turf
Many Records Broken.

In many respects the past year was
one of the most notable and brilliant
in the history of the American trot-
ting turf. In point Of speed the sea-
sons records far surpassed those Of
any past year, as shown by the notable
changes in the table Of worlds cham
pionship marks, records for the year,
number of fast performances, both
trotters and PAGERS. and number and
quality Of performers In the Juvenile
divisions.
That the harness racing sports Or
"the %trots," are still popular with the
American public, was demonstrated by
the fact that close to 1900 separate
race meetings were held In this u
try during the season extending from
June to December.

The less a SOW is disturbed at far

reason she should be kept separate

necessary to help. do it as quietly as
possible. AS the pigs are not able
to take much milk, the flow should
not be stimulated for a few days. Give

WIDE PIAZZA ADDS TO HOME
Part That ls Rooted May Easily Be
Converted Into Sun Parlor During
the Winter Months

A good wide piazza or porch adds
greatly to the comfort and beauty Of
most any home. In order to serve the
hest purpose 1t should be wide and
built around several sides Of the house.
This will insure a cool, shady spot to
hang the hammock on a hot summer
day for rest and reading. A piazza
should be at least seven feet wide and
may be as deep as L. feet. 1t is not
necessary to have all the piazza COW
cred with q roof. It Is q good idea
to have the part which is to be rooted
over SO constructed that by the cree
ton Of glass sides a sun porch can be
provided for winter use In the win
ter a piazza which is entirely rooted
tends to shut of light from the first
floor. For this reason the piazza roof
should be high. extending to the bot
tom of the second floor windows
In the summe the piazza may be
covered with an awning, or a vine
trellis, which on nights when there is
little air stirring does away with the
feeling Of ~closeness otherwise occa-
stoned. 1t is a good time to be fore
sighted when ordering the piazza to
tell the architect that 1t should be
made so as to be screened for the

Ordinary black screens should be
painted two months before they are
intended to be put in use SO that the
paint may have time to harden. When
windows are put up in the winter
the window sashes should be
painted with black paint over the red
wash which is put on in the fac
tory and has little p~reservative quail
