MAKING PROFIT WITH SHEEP
They Are Next 70 Hogs In Their F.
eIlltiss for Making Gains From
Given Quantity Of Fesd.

Sheep are generally considered good
feeders, that Is to say that they have
adaptations for producing gains eco
nomically. Sheep are next to hogs In
thier facilities for making gains from
q given quantity Of feed. They have
the advantage Of hogs in that they
can convert coarse folders and hay
into gains. They can excel cattle in
this respect.
It requires 9 to II pounds Of dry
matter to produce a pound of gain ON
steers, according to investigations.
Sheep ON the same feed will make .
pound Of gain on from Z to Q pounds
Of dry matter.
It was found ut the Iowa station
that 1000 pounds Of cattle ON full feed
ate 1913 pounds Of dry matter q day
and gained PA pounds; 1000 pounds

HIGH COST OF LINING

some idea of what simply the ma

Much Of your high cost of living Is
here. Every cent of this revenue
comes out of the pockets of the peO-
pie mostly through indirect taxation, a
devise that cOnceals from them how
much they are paying for their So
called public service and how much of
that they pay is wantonly wasted.
There Is now before congress a public
building bill and nine out of ten of
the buildings on it are declared
wholly unnecessary by the postoffice
department. We blow millions and
millions on river and harbor tinkcring.

THE REGENTS START WRONG

In view OF the venomous attacks that
have been made upon DIR. a. W. Hen
drick, well balanced people will sus-
pend judgment upon the charges that
the books and financial affairs OF tie
university are in a 'deplordble' coz
ditlon and that his "vacillation Of
character" had destroyed the conf
dence of the new regents and the
confidence of school men and women
OF the state. says Reno Gazette.
That DR.. Hendrick or any member
of the old board Of regents improperly
profited from any of the funds of the
university no well informed citizen
will for the moment believe. That
the bookkeeping system may be OBJ
solete and the financial records in
volved may be true, but that there
has been a personal abuse of uniyer-
sity money, which might be inferred
from statements made. is preposter-
Gus.
AS Regent Curler said on Saturday.
a very serious difficulty will now he
experienced by the regents in securing
a successor to President uendrick. Re.
gent Curler is former judge and is
possessed of clear sight in matters of
this kind. With him there is no ques.
ton OF private vendetta, of revenge
for being deprived of a political place.
He realizes undoubtedly, that the re-
gents are face TO face with the move
ment organized successfully by the
Carnegie Foundation with which the
University of Utah came into contact
a year ago and with which the Univer.
sity of Kansas also has had some en-
perience. Through the efficient work
of this organization 1t ia now n very
serious matter for politicians TO dis
miss university presidents and pro
fessors without fair investigation in
which they have had a hearing.
That is what the majority Of the
board OF regents of the University of
Nevada ave done. according to their
own statement. Judge Curler, col
lege man, foresees the weight of dis
approval, unquestionably, that Is about
to be manifested all over the United
States. Under the conditions that the
majority's action shows prevail at the
university here, no reputable professor
will seek any post at the hands of IN,
institution while the board remains a.
