ENCOURAGING MORE SHEEP.

Tn spite of the failure of a number of the states in the east to recognize the preference for sheep over dogs, and to pass legislation which would stimulate the sheep raising industry and endeaVor to bring it back to the position which it held some years ago a determined effort is being made te take care of the needs of the coun- try by other means. If the trouble some dogs cannot be eliminated one way. it will have to be done in an other, but in the meantime the neces- sity of raising more sheep throughout the east in particular, where there is plenty of opportunity and an excel
 lent chance for good returns, has been recognized by the users of wool and the Philadelphia Wool and Textile as- sociation has proceeded to put into operation a scheme of it's own with the idea of arousing interest in an in- dustry which has seriously languished.
 This association has procured an option on 10000 sheep in Oregon and Idaho which are to be distributed through state departments of agri- culture to those who are willing to engage in sheep raising and to make such sheep the basis of a flock. The plan has met with not a little aPpro- val. Already shipments have been made to Pennsylvania and Massaehu- setts and another is on the way to or will be sent to Virginia These states produce sheep of course for the wool and for the provision market. But they can do more and with such assistance many who would not be interested under the existing dog menace to branch out Into such en- deavors by induIging in an Initial in- vestment are bound to take advantage of such an opportunity.
 It may not result in reviving the sheep raising industry to the point where it was years ago. but 1t will help It will mean eneourageme ent in the very direction where 1t is needed, and while Connecticut has some large

TaE COMMISSION TO RUSSIA.

The safe arrival of the American
 commission headed by Elihu Root at a
 Russian port will be learned with
 qualification throusllaut the country. It will still be some days before they
 arrive at the Russian capital but they
 are well on their way and much is
 expected of them in tho mission on which they have been sent. After the
 members of the commission had been selected no time was lost in getting
 away on their erTaHd. Such of course was necessary in view of the cOndi- tions which are prevailing in Russia following the revolution, and it is of course recognized now that they can no. reach PntroGrad any too soon if they are going to render the assist anee and proffer the advice which the new government may be in need of. Russia does not appear to overcome one trouble before it is in the midst of more. It has not as yet gotten af- | fairs down to 8 smooth working basis i There is still an element which is run ming contrary to the coalition govern ment There is apparently a dispo- sition among some to mistake liberty for license, to consider that freedom means no restraint and to interpret the change to democracy as meaning that discipline must be swept away and recognition need not be given to a central government There is evi dence of a lack of a balance wheel in the present state of affairs in Rus sia.
 Whether the American commission can furnish the advice which will overcome these troubles and which l vii, bring about stability remains to be seen. It all depends upon the re- ception which Is given them and the way in which their words of advice and suggestions are taken. It must be understood of course that this commission has not gone to Petrograd | for the purpose of telling the Russian
 people how they must conduct their l affairs. Far from it. The commission goes as men Of high standing in their respective lines to give such sugges- | tions as may be asked of them, as men | of experience in the very things which 1 Russia is seeking to gain, and if they are disposed to abide by the counsel l which will be given when sought Rus | sia should profit and it should stick as one of the important members of the entente.

Girls! Use Lemons!
 Make a Bleaching,
 Beautifying Cream


 The juice of two fresh lemons strained into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes whole quarter pint of the most remarkable lemon skin bea utifier at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the lemon juice through 8 fine cloth SO no lemon pulp gets in. then this lotion will keep fresh fef months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and re move such blemishes as freekies, gal ' lcwness and tan, and is the ideal skin softener, smaothener and beautiner,
 Just try it. Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up quarter pint of this sWeetly fra ' grant lemon lotion and massage 1t daily into the face, neck, arms and haads. It naturally should help to soften. freshsn, bleach and bring out the roses and, beauty of any skin. lt is simply marvellous to smoother rough, red hands.

United States Supply of Platinum.


 The known supply of metals of. the platinum group in the world is possi- bly, 500e,0 ,000 ounces. Estimates based on the official figures of production from Russia since 1S43, which are taken as 25 per cent. too low, and on the assumption that Russia has sup piled 95 per cent of the worlds out put, indicate that the total quantity of crude placer platinum produced in the world since 1S43 has been less than 4,6s2, 900 troy ounces, or about 159 short tons.
 Crude platinum is not pure, as it contains, besides iron, small amounts of one or all of the metals iridium, palladium, osnlium. rhodium, and ruthenium. It is difficult to estimate the quantity of platinum in the world but it is perhaps within reason to say that the platinum in the worlds stock of metals of the platinum group amounts to 4,o0o, ,o0e ounces.

 Home gardeners, especially those without previous gardening experience, can cooperate in a number of mutual ly helpful ways says the bulletin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission. of Washington, which is aiding this paper to encourage the food garden planting.
 Cooperation in gardening can reach from the extreme of complete com plunity effort, such as is now being practiced in a number of suburban towns down to the cooperative pur- chase of tools, fertilizers or the hiring of an instructor.
 Perhaps the greatest benefit to hn gained from cooperative gardening is that Of expert instruction. group of gardeners in the same neighborhood can form a club and with a small as sessment have a fund large enough to hire an expert gardener to visit their plots once a week or so and tell them what mistakes they are making Garden tools of the labor-s saving sort can also be profitabIy purchased by garden clubs. Such tools are wheel hoes or spray pumps. In small tract it does not pay for a gardener to buy expensive or-saving tools. Put a wheel hoe for instance will cultivate a garden on small fraction of the time of hand hoeing, and thus one will do for a number of gardeners.
 When cooperation is attempted by number of persons on an extended tract labor and time can be saved in hiring the preliminary blowing and narrowing done.
 Complete community gardening is being attempted in several neighbor- hoods. In weaithier communities the members simply put up the money and hire all the work done from blowing to harvest Thesa efforts are being sue cessful When the work of gard ening is to be done by the communists them = selves and the crops divided. care should be taken that there is good organization. volunteer manager in whom all have confidence.
