DR., MCCONNELL MESSAGE The
Belfast audience attending the lecture
last Thursday evening in the Baptist
church by Lincoln Mcconnell, IL D.,
will not soon forget the man or his mes
sage. He is what is claimed for him the
most forceful speaker on the American
platform at the present time and his sub
ject "HuniSm' gives abundant material
for his sermon-lecture. He is a resident
of Atlanta, Ga, and as he expressed it
as Southern Yankee, and the yankeest
yankee than ever yanked. DR.. McCon-
nell has the courage of his convictions
and for about two hours held the closest
attention of all as he gave the history of
the Hun menace, what its influence has
been and will be. He presented many
new and appalling thoughts on this all
important subject. He gave our country
full credit for what she has done IN the
world war; but severly criticized her
slcwness in entering and ridlculed the
slogan Gle has kept us out of war" On
of the newest thoughts presented was his
claim that Germany has never given the
world one of its great discoveries or an
invention. Even her so-called higher
education is borrowed, not original. He
deals with facts and figures and never
tells stories to illustrate his points. Ralph
Parlette, another noted lecturer, says OF
DR.. MCCONNELL: "Iie is just happy
hearted boy with mans years and ex-
periences, an orators eloquence and a
PROHIBITS vision. He breaches out of his
life and not his library. He is crouch
DOCTOR" DR.. Mcconnell amuses and en-
tertains but at the same time breaches
the most forceful Gospel sermons.

impression here at the Chautauqua in the

has composed operas himself, and is able
to produce volume and quality of music

the course will have an opportunity to
exchange them for reserved sea S on Fri
day, March 7th, at nine o'clock at the
theatre ticket office. The public will
have chance to secure reserved seats
on Saturday, March 8. The cost of this
attraction is so great that the manage
ment first talked of increased prices for
the tickets, but later decided to make it
at popular prices, trusting to larger
patronage. Admission will be only 28c
and reserved seats will be 39c and 55c,
which prices include the war tax.

trimmings, the director in white and the
rose buds, or little dancing girls, in fancy

FARM EXPERIMEN
Several Important Results OBJ
tanned on Idaho Ranch.
Flock Handled in Same Manner as Are
All Similar Bands in Hands of
Wyoming Stockmen-Work
..- to Be Extended.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Several results of Importance to
western sheep men have been ascer-
tanned by experiments at the govern
ment sheep ranch near Dubois, Idaho,
which has been in operation two years.
Formerly 1t 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-olds.
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 is maintained of the
offspring of each eve. The particular
utility of the results obtained arises
from the fact that the flock Is handled
just as are all similar bands of sheep
In the hands Of Wyoming stockmen.
Experiments are being conducted to
develop type of sheep more suitable
to the western range conditions than
the types now prevalent. 1t is hoped
to extend this work in both mutton
conformation and length and weight of
fleece.
There are at present about 1900
head of purebred Rambouillets, Lin
coin Rambouillets, CotswOld Ram
bouillets, Lester Rambouillets and
Romney RambOuIllets on the govern
ment ranch. Crossbreedng expert
ments are being conducted with all
these breeds and crosses as well as
the use of purebred COrriedales, which
have been mated with crossbred ewes.

Long and shOrt-napped beavers,
felts and wo0l-fur hats account for
the great majority of hats for little
girls. Then there are velvet tamS.
conspicuously classy in the best

cases, or a bit Of feather ornament

Pat Finnegan had left his wife in
Ireland and gone to America to try

KEEP MANURE UNDER COVER
Amount of Moisture In Pile Can Be
Regulated Much Without
Danger of Leaching.

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 artifcially
regulated and with less danger of
teaching than if 1t 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 1t
will fire fang through heating. With
both teaching and heating guarded
against. manure can be kept for con-
siderable periods without serious de-
terioration in fertility. However, 1t is
always best to get manure onto the
fields and under the surface as soon as
practical The best place for manure
to rot is in the soil
