That comes about as near being alb
ject piffle as anything Mr.. Wilson
ever wrote.
His heart wasn't in that note about
the French treaty. 1t didn't ring true.
It lacked "punch," in the slang of the
day.
Mr.. Wilson was doing an unpleasant
job and doing it rather badly on the
whole.
There is not a good case for the
French treaty from the American
standpoint at least, and Mr.. Wilson
knows it. He was carrying out bar
gain that grew out of the peace con-
ference, and most Americans know it.
He got his League of Nations, such as
it was, in return for promise to sup
port the proposed treaty.
All right. There is no crime in a
little log rolling, but Americans have
heard about enough about the debt
to France, and the debt to other allies.
We have few debts we owe America
just now. We are playing the part of
rich uncle to half Of Europe, we sent
100000 men to France and have lent
her several billions Of dollars. We

prepared by the United States Depart.

Several results of Importance to
s'estern sheep men have been ascer.
tanned by experiments ut the govern
ment sheep ranch near Dubois, Idaho,
which has been In operation two years.
Formerly II was customary for range
sheep men to discard ewes which did
not bear lambs when two years old.
extensive Investigations by the depart
men Of agriculture have developed
that such ewes are just as valuable for
future breeding as those which bear
lambs as two-year-oids.
Individual records are kept on the
government sheep ranch relative to the
weight of fleece. length OF fleece. char
acter Of fleece, fineness of fiber and
mutton quality Of each animal, while
detailed account ~ maintained OF the
offspring OF each eve. The particular
utility Of the results obtained arises
from the fact that the flock In handled
juss as are all similar bands OF sheep
In the hands OF Wyoming stockmen.
Experiments are being conducted to
develop n type of sheep more suitable
to the western range conditions than
the types now prevalent. IL In hoped
to. extend this work I'm both mutton
conformation and length and weight Of
fleece.
There are at present about $500
head Of purebred Rambouillets. Lin
coin Rambouillets, Cotswold Ram

Romney Rambouillets on the govern
ment ranch. Crossbreeding expert.
ments are being conducted with all
these breeds and crosses. as well m

have been mated with crossbred ewes.

KEEP MANURE UNDER COVER
Regulated Much Without
Danger Of Leaehlna.

The advantage Of keeping manure
under cover. whether piled on the
ground or in pit. Is that the amount OF
moisture in the pile can be artIficIaily
regulated and with less danger of
teaching than IL II lies on the ground.
In the open pit, surplus of moisture
can not result In loss through teaching.
but unless water or liquid manure is
pumped frequently over the pile II
win fire fang through heating. With
both teaching and heating guarded
against. manure can be kept for con-
siderable periods without serious de-
terloration In fertility. However. IL is
always best to get manure onto the
fields and under the surface as soon as
practical. The best place for manure
