Housing the Flock.

Equipment for raising sheep on
farms need not be expensive. In mild
latitudes little housing is needed, and
the main need is for fencing and pas
lures of sufficient number and size to
allow frequent changing of flocks to
fresh ground to insure health. Where
winters are longer and more severe,
buildings and sheds are necessary to
furnish protection from storms, though
no special provisions are needed for
warmth. Dryness, good ventilation,
and freedom from drafts are the first
requisites of buildings for sheep. Con-
venience in feeding and shepherding
must also be held in mind In locating
and planning such buildings or sheds.
Small flocks can be cared for in sec
tions of barns having stabling or feed
storage for other stock, but with
flock of, say, 100 ewes separate build
ings are desirable. The interior ar
rangement of these buildings should
be such as to require minimum of
labor and the least possible moving of
the ewes In doing the feeding and
caring for them during the lambing
season. A building of this type can
also be utilized for fattening pur-
chased lambs to be disposed of before
lambing begins in the regular farm
flock. A good supply of feed racks,
grain troughs. ETC., can be provided at
small expense and will save labor and
prevent waste Of feed.

Music, more than the other arts. is

knowledge of it. discovered sometimes
in even the youngest children where a
rich musical experience is offered, is

CHAPTER II.
Spanish Gold.

The twins were seven years old when
Donna Isabel's schemes bore their first
bitter fruit, and the occasion was a
particularly uproarious night when
Don Esteban entertained II crowd of
his Castilian friends. Little Rosa was
awakened at late hour by the laugh
ter and shouts OF her fathers guests.
She was afraid, for there was some
thing strange about the voices. some
quality to them which was foreign to
the child's experience. Creeping into
her brothers room. she awoke him. and

Size of Flock.
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
s or 10 ewes. 1t is very doubtful, how
ever, whether anyone should make a
start with sheep unless the arrange
ment of the farm and the plan of its
operation allow the keeping of as many
as 80 ewes. and in most cases 60 or
more will be handled better and more
economically than very small flock.
The economical disadvantage of
very small flock lies In the fact that
the hours of labor are practically the
same for dozen or 20 ewes as for the
larger flock. The fencing to allow de-
sirable change of pastures or TO give
protection against dogs is about the
same in either case, so that the over
head charges per eve are much small
er in the case of the larger flock. Fur
thermOre. the small flock on farm
having large numbers of other animals
is unlikely to receive the study and at
tention really needed or that would be
given to one of the chief sources Of
the farm income.

reassure her his own voice was thin
and reedy from fright.
In the midst OF their agitation they
heard some one weeping; there came IA
rush of feet down the hallway, and the
next instant Evangelina flung herself
into the room.
She fell upon her knees before them.

sobbed. "YOu will save me, won't you?

WEATHER FORECASTS MAY SAVE
CATTLE

Cattlemen in the West and South
west may save thousands of dollars
and many thousand pounds of meat
during the winter season if they will
watch weather forecasts, according to
officials of the Weather Bureau. They
should give attention not only to the
regular forecasts but to the special
daily forecasts issued by Weather Blu
reau stations in cities and towns of
considerable size, during the winter
in regard to minimum temperatures
in regard to minimum temperatures
expected to occur within a shipping
radius of one day or two days of the
station. In northwestern Texas last
winter number of herds of cattle,
aggregating many thousand dollars in
value, died from exposure to a de-
structive cold wave which had been
forecast by the Weather Bureau and
warnings of which had been dissem-
mated through the threatened region.

BARRIERS GIVE FREE SLAVES
WITH HAIRCUTS

Boston, Mass.--Persons who look in
the windows of certain Lynn barber
shops in the future may witness the
novel sight of half a dozen or more
patrons standing before the mirrors in
the act of shaving themselves, for men
are invited to remove their boards la
self-service in notices posted in these
establishments.
The tonsorial shop proprietors,
none of whom are members of the
Master BARRIERS Association, agree to
allow persons having a haircut in
their establishments free use of raz-
ors for scraping off their boards. The
notices fail to stipulate whether soap,
towel and face lotions will be fur
nished.
While the aforementioned BARRIERS
are putting the free-shaving offer in
to force, the members of the Master
BARRIERS association are making final
arrangements for putting their new
price schedule into effect Monday. 1t
calls for fifty cents for hair cuts and
twenty cents for shaves, while the
prices now are thirty-five and fifteen
cents, respectively.

EIGHT OFFICERS ESCAPE TURK

London-Eight British officers cap
tured at Kut-el-Amara lin Mesopota-
mia in 1910, have reached England
after thrilling adventures. The party
escaped from the Turkish prison
camp in the interior of Asia Minor.
They journeyed seward across the
Taurus mountains.
Food supplies were short, but the
party deemed it wiser mostly to trav-
ell by night. The sea was reached af-
ter fortnight. A Turkish patrol boat
was discovered nj a creek, and the
party took possession of it during the
crews absence.

SALVATION ARMY MAN DE-
sCRIBEs RIOT IN RUSSIA

New York Commissioner Henry
William Mapp, who has arrived in this
country from England after spending
year in Russia and who is going to
France to take charge of the activities
of the Salvation Army at the front,
told of his Russian experiences at the
headquarters of the organization
"In the question of an armistice,"
said Commissioner Mapp, persons
must not forget that there is war
going on against Germany in Russia.
The Bolsheviki really are only one
tenth of the nation; the other nine
tenths are for the allies 1t is Ger
many that is keeping the Red guards
fighting against the Russian people.
Due to the fact that Germany refused
to allow the German and Austrian
prisoners over 100000 of them, to
cross the border into their own coun-
tries, there is a much larger force
which the allies must contend with in
Russia than the people realize"
Commissioner Mapp was asked if he
had seen any of the atrocities of the
Red guards. "Why, all the time" he
answered. DAY and night there are
murders, assassination, robberies, and
rifing of homes, stores, and banks all
about you. The Red guards hold up
men and women and take the very
clothes from their backs"
