SOUTH AMERICA

SOUTH AMERICA
 Montevideo, Uruguay. March 2-Ger- many's attempt to arouse Mexico against the United States has awakened indig- nation among all classes. Fl Dia sup ports President Wilson's plan for arming merchant ships. It says this action will be a step in the direction of war but that Germany has done nothing to avoid it. President Wilson is commended for having exahusted all other methods be- fore taking action looking toward hos tilities.
 Buenos Aires. March 2.-Ali the news papers comment on the Washington dis closures regarding Germany's maneuver and the opinion is expressed generally that President Wilson has acted with great restraint under the circumstances. In this connection attention is called to the reports frequently circulated that for long time Germany has been seeking a base in the Gulf Of Mexico or the Carib- bean sea for the purpose of harassing her adversaries.
 Rio Janeiro, March "A Noticia. in an editorial today, says 1t refuses to be- lieve Mexico would aequiesce in Ger many's proposal to make war against the United States Such action, says the newspaper. would mean the end of con tinental solidarity
 The Journal Do Commercial. in an edi- toriai. says: If Germany has really taken the initiative of suggesting to Mex leo a military agreement, the United States will not be in a position to pre- serve neutrality and the whole GerrEan policy will remain suspicious to all the American nations"
 Santiago. Chile. May 2-Germany's at tempt to involve Mexico and Japan with the United States. in the event of hos utilities between Germany and America, has attracted widespread attention here. It is scoffed at by the press, which re- gards it as a futile move. La Nacion draws the conclusion from this event that Latin-American countries should come Into closer union and formulate a policy of conserving their neutrality

Telling Age Of Sheep.
Until sheep is four years old its age
usually can be determined within few
months by looking at its teeth. When
about twelve months old the two center
incisors Of the small, narrow teeth OF
the lamb are replaced by two large.
broad. permanent teeth. At about
twenty-four months two more large
teeth appear, one on each side of the
other pair. Another pair appears at
three years of age, and the last or cor
ner teeth come i'm at about the end OF
the fourth year, and the sheep then
has full mouth.
In buying ewes, particularly those
from the range, ii is desirable when
possible to examine the udders to see
that they are free from Jumps that
would prevent the ewes from being
mixers. 1t is necessary to guard also
against buying ewes that are useless as
breeders because of the ends Of the
teats having been clipped Off at shear
ing.
Persons wholly inexperienced with
sheep will do well to limit the size Of
the flock at the start. A beginner can
acquire experience quite rapidly with
eight or ten ewes. 1t is very doubtful.

ment of the farm and the plan OF Its
operation allow the keeping Of as many
as thirty ewes, and in most cases sixty
or more will be handled better and
more economically than very small
flock. The number OF eve lambs that
can be kept for breeding each year
should be about half the number of
breeding ewes. Old ewes should be
discarded when five years old. When
this is done and the poorest of the eve
lambs are sold flock will ordinarily
double i'm size in three years. After
two seasons experience 1t will be a
good plan TO buy more ewes when good
ones can be obtained at a fair price.
The economical disadvantage Of a
very small flock lies in the fact that

inexperienced Farmers Should
Begin With a Small Flock.

Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
The best time to get start In the
sheep business is I'm late summer or
early fall. Ewes can be procured more
readily at that time and when purchas-
ed can be kept on meadows, green stub
BILE fields or late sown forage crops to
get them In good condition for breed
ing. Experience with the ewes through
fall and winter will also make a be-
ginner more capable of attending to
them at lambing time In the spring.
The inexperienced sheep raiser should
begin with grade ewes of the best
class available and a pure bred ram,
1t is seldom possible tOfbuy any con-
siderable number of bred ewes at rea-
sonable prices. The raising of pure
bred stock and the selling Of breeding
rams can best be undertaken by per
sons experienced in sheep raising. The
selection of the type and breed Of
sheep to raise should be made by con.
sidering the class of pasture and feeds
available and the general system OF
farming to be followed along with the
peculiarities of the breeds and the con
ditions and kind of feeding and man
agement for which each has been espe
cially developed. References to the
bulletin on breeds Of sheep for various
uses will help the beginner to make
his selection. Once q decision has been
made the aim should be to obtain ewes
that are individually good and that
have as many crosses as possible of
the breed selected. With such a foun-
dation and with the continuous use Of
good pure bred rams Of the same breed

Best Age For Breeding Ewes.

reasonable price. The demand has ex-
hausted the local supply in many sec

SENTIMENT AT CAPITOL
FOR EARLY ADJOURNMENT
Members of Both Parties Want to
Pass Necessary Legislation
and Quit,

There is q strong sentiment among
members of both political parties in tho
House in favor of Cleaning up legis-
lation necessary to the armiug of the
government and adjourning this special
session Of Congress as soon as possi-
bic.
This feeling is accountable for the
delay in the appointment of commit
tees other than those announced on the
opening day OF the session. and which
were actually necessary to equip the
nation.
1t was said at the Capitol yesterday that
the committees of the two parties hav-
ing charge of the makeup of commit
tees viii delay further action for sew
eral days, and until some idea can be
gained Of the probable duration of the
session. 1t is not desired to make
UP the general committees and have
them turn out a grist of legislation
that might interest members enough to
prolong the session.
