or meat would be too costly. The ami
NAL husbandry division Of the depart
ment of agriculture will answer re-
quests for information from persons
who desire to raise sheep. and has a
number Of publications on the subject
available for free distribution.
Sheep now cost approximately three
times as much as in normal times.
Good commercial sheep at present sell
for from SIG to 500 head.
In any sheep enterprise provision
must be made for the guarding or fenc-
Ing in of the flock, for not only are the
animals prone to stray from home pas
lures, but they are favored prey for
dogs, which annually inflict great loss
es on the industry. Winter care must
be provided for, and feed and sheltered
quarters must be available in cold
weather. Persons who desire to raise
sheep are advised to enter the indus
try with view of staying for several
years at least. The gross annual re-
turns from the ewes of breeding age
may be expected to range from So to
SIS head, depending upon the per-
centage of lambs raised, the weight Of
the fleece and the value of these prod
ucts. The fleece from one sheep av-
erages five to eight pounds and is now
selling for from so to 65 cents pound.
The ewes with good management will
each raise lamb. The lambs at five
months will weigh approximately 60
pounds and will be worth Is cents a
pound and over. The useful life of a
sheep Is about six years.
Flocks Of sheep have been maintain.

monument in the capital. The use of
sheep in lawns and parks has been ex-
tensive in England. The labor-saving
value OF sheep is important, for they
are neat and effective grass cutters.
sometimes, too, they eat shrubbery and
flowers, but this danger can be met by

guards.

GRAZING WHITE HOUSE LAWN
President Wilson Sets Example Which
Might Be Followed by Owners
of Large Grass Plots.

fprepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
When a flock Of sheep appeared not
long ago on the green sward of the
White House grounds, desire to
snatch the President" in helping to
increase the country's mutton and wool
supply was manifested by many per-
sons whose responsibility covered big
lawns, golf courses and city parks.
Many public parks, golf courses, and
private lawns in the country may be SO
situated that they can profitably be
made to serve as grazing grounds for
sheep. 1t is believed that their use
for grazing sheep would have not only
n sentimental value but practical one.
But owners and persons charged with
the care of such property are advised
to investigate the matter thoroughly
before they embark in the enterprise
of raising sheep. Sheep raising in
wolves much more than placing the an
finals in good pasture. 1t has its
technical side, and at present, when ev-
cry pound of wool and every pound Of
meat is needed, 1t is felt that expert

low. They extend a little way over
the hand and are finished with a mar
row binding of satin. A bit of white
georgette suggests an underbodice Of
this lovely fabric where it shows
through the lace at the shoulders and
above the satin at the square neck.
If this gown started out with a dec
aration of independence as to it's out
lines, it makes amends by making the
most of the vogue for long silk tassels.
There is very long girdle Of the satin
that is wrapped about the waist,
crossed at the back and looped over
at the left side. The ends, finished
with long, handsome silk tassels, fall
to the bottom of the tunic and little
below the bottom of the skirt.
This gown is becoming to almost any
type of figure. 1t is dignified and
quiet, but it is also brilliant. In the
picture big black satin poppy adds
it's fine silken sheen to the finish of
an exquisite frock. 1t is in black also,
but might be in some brilliant color If
occasion seemed to demand it.

Magnificence is not a characteristic
of any of the dressier gowns for after
noon and evening these days, but they
rejoice in simplicity and elegance.
These are the Indispensable things in
war time and the most satisfactory
in any time. Ingenuity in the manage
ment of simple trimming takes the
place Of lavish work in elaborate EN-
troideries. About all the chance left
for milady to be splendid in sumptu-
ous clothes lies in the direction Of
furs. Among these there are some SUI
perb pieces, but they are bought for
n lifetime and so their case and that
of gowns are not parallel. They are
allowable even when good taste for
bids other extravaganza.
An afternoon frOck as presented in
the picture seems almost too simple
to need a description. 1t Is OF blue
reorgette over an underslip of satin
and is made with bodice and tunic
skirt. The tunic is plated onto the
plain crepe bodice at the waistline,
which is a little higher than the nor

the bodice. One Of them at each side

An atrociOus murder took place the
other night in the village Bagundi In

married Mahomedan woman was ill
for three days and her husband after
obtaining all the available assistance
without any effect sat by the side Of
his wife on the veranda when some
unknown persons got over the boun-
Diary wall and one Of them fired gun
toward the couple. The husband was
shot in the chest and died on the spot

FINDS CALL STIRS HIM UP
City Conductors Call, "Let EN- or
First!" Acts Like a Tonic
on This Writer.

That day does not start right when I
do not go to work by public convey
ance. I can motor to work, or can
walk, as sometimes do, and hear all
the sounds incident to busy streets
the honking of horns, the whistles of
the traffic policemen and the shouting
of newsboys. These all help in getting
me in key for the days work, but
they do not take the place of the con-
ductor's plea to the clamorous crowds
on the railway platforms, LET 'em off
first!"
The command is given in a tone Of
authority that forces the people to
stand back. You mediate upon what
would happen but for the trainman's
solicitude for his passengers. The little
blond stenographer who sat beside
you would without doubt be carried to
the next station, or maybe dozen
stations beyond, and, being late, be
fired. You yourself, for that matter,
might be whisked on past your station
and fall into a passion that would
cause J lr breakfast to sour and make
you surly all day. And there is always
tragedy in that frame of mind, since
a man has to be placid these days or
lose his nerves, his job, and every
thing.
Let 'em off first !'-the command
affects one in another way, too. It
carries suggestion that one wants to
get off, and that suggestion presently
works itself into a command to you to
get off-a sort Of challenge to stay on
if you dare.
You battle the suggestion menfully
from one station to another, until, by
the time you reach your stop, your
mind is keyed up to concert pitch; you
are thoroughly awake, AMI attack your
days work with an energy that is I'M
known to the man who, immersed in
his morning papers, is lost to what is

front and back of the bodice between
those at the sides, are pointed at the
top. They all hang several inches be-
low the waist and the end of each band
is threaded through a bead. Two of
these narrow silk bands are tackled
about the waist and the bands that are
applied to the bodice are threaded over
and under them and then tackled to
them. The ends hang free.
The same bands in five overlapping
rows are stitched about the tunic just
above its hem. This is all there is to
tell Of a pretty afternoon gown which
one must acknowledge achieves dis
tinction by the simplest means. The
round neck has picot edge and so
have the sleeves at the wrist. They
could not be palmer and they fit the
arm from shoulder to hand.
