WOULD APPEAL TO
SAFETY CoMM||SS SION
Sheep Owners Want Protection
From Oepredahons Of .
Dogs.

With wool selling at a dollar per
pound and sheep at SIS to $25 each,
many men are taking keen interest
in sheep raising. The number of sheep
growers in Kandiyohi county was
greatly increased during the past year.
The great demand for wool, the need
Of meat products, coupled with the
rapid increase and quick returns has
led many to decide to keep at least a
few sheep. The men who have been
keeping sheep say it pays well. The
government Is urging the increase of
sheep.
Many parts of the county are favor
able for the production of sheep. The
cool, moist climate with abundance of
pasture means good thrifty individuals
with an excellent fleece. The extreme
ly dry weather of the west is fast be.
coming a thing of the past. The ex.
tremely dry weather in some sections
prevents as heavy and good quality OF
fleece as can be produced here. The
reaction seems to be\ coming which
means more sheep for Minnesota. At
any rate sheep look profitable for
some years to come.
| A few men interested in sheep rails.
Ing met at the court house last Satur
day afternoon to talk over conditions
and better their conditions If possible
They were very enthusiastic about
sheep. There were number of things
which seemed to be common interests
among sheep growers. From the dis.
cussfon 1t was concluded that it would
be good thing for the sheep men to
form a county organization. Nearly
all the sheep of the county are Shrop
sh1res. An organization would simpli
fy the breeding problems. It would be
of help in disposing of the wool and
lambs to better advantage. Some kind
of an organization or association OF
sheep men would make it possible ia
get together and discuss their prob
lens and protect their interests
Perhaps the most trying and difficult
problem the sheep grower has to con
tend with is the dog nuisance The
question was taken up and discussed
IN detail. Many suggestions were Of
fered. For instance insurance against
damage to sheep by dogs. One man
said he would give 500 to any one
who would insure his flock against loss
by dogs the coming season. He esti
mated his loss at $500 to $500. It is a
serious matter when a man has q biz
flock of valuable animals. A good
home dog may be big help on farm
But it would be big help to the coun
try and especially the sheep raisers
II many of the worthless, homeless
wandering ours that kill thousands oil
dollars worth Of sheep every year
could be destroyed It was finally de-
cided to write Prof. A. D. Wilson and
If necessary the State Safety Commits
sion to see what could be done to pro
tect sheep against damage ordinarily
done by dogs. -.

When lee Covered Europe. :

When Ice Covered Europe. "A
During the long tertiary epoch, when
opossums disported themselves on the
site Of Paris and mastodons tramped
along the valley of the Thames, the
earth was In the throes Of mountain
making. The Alps, the Himalayas,
the Aneghenies, the Andes, attest the
power Of her activity in those days. At
their termination our continents stood
greatly higher than they do now, and,
this aided their glaciation, although e
does not fully account for 1t. But aJ
they became loaded with ice Europe
and America gradually and we may
venture to say 4contemporaneously
sank. This was Inevitable. Owing to
the extreme heat and pressure prevail

Training Children.

Do these things for your children,
says Leo Tolstoy, II you would properly
train them: = S..s
Let them do all they can for them
sedves-carry their own jugs, wash up,
arrange their own rooms, clean their
boots and clothes, lay the table. Be
lieve me, that unimportant as these
things may seem, they are hundred
times more important for your chill
dren's happiness than a knowledge Of
French or of history.
These things train the children to
simplicity, to work and to self indie
pendence.
IT you can add work on the land, IL 1t
be but a kitchen garden, that will be
we'll. = - 49,
Believe me, that without that condi-
ton there is no possibility of q moral
education, Christian education or a
consciousness of the fact that men are
not naturally divided into the classes Of
masters and slaves, but that they are
all brothers and equals. . sszs

Sand Dune. In G.sconv.

One of the most interesting and r.
markable Of the many regions for the
observation of sand dunes lies between
Bordeaux and Bayonne, in Gascony
The sea here throws every year upon
the beach, along line OF 100 miles in
length, some q, O00, 600 cubic yards Of
sand. The prevailing westerly winds
continue picking up the surface par
ticles from the westward slope, whirl
them over to the inward slope, where
they are again deposited, and the entire
ridge by this means alone moves grad
ually inward. In the course Of years
there has thus been formed q complex
system Of dunes, all approximately
parallel with the coast and with ono
another and Of all attitudes up to $50
feet. These are marching steadily In
ward at rate Of from three to six
feet year, whole villages having
sometimes been torn, down to prevent
burial and rebuilt at a distance.

Hot Applications.

As substitute for hot water bags in
ordinary ailments, such as toothache,
earache and other, minor pains, use
common flannel bags made in conven-
lent sizes, with drawstrings. Fill them
with hot sand or salt and they are
safer than q cheap rubber bottle, just
rs ef6cacious and much handler to use.
Keep half dozen ready. They are zof
great help In time Of aches and pains.
