BREEDING FOR BETTER SHEEP
Experiment Being Conducted on Ex-
pertinent Ranch in Idaho by
Department of Agriculture.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture
Corriedale sheep developed in Aus
tralia mainly by Lincoln-Merino
cross, are being studied by the United
States department Of agriculture at
the government 28,OOO-acre sheep-ex-
pertinent ranch at Dubois, Idaho.
There are at present about 1900 sheep
on the project divided into various
classes. Australians claim for the
Corriedales better mutton form than
the Meriao, more weight, and yet a
good fleece of about three-eighths
blood quality. 1t is expected that the
tests now being conducted by the de-
partment will eventually result in a
better average sheep, as to mutton
carcass, than the breeds now on the
market. The breed was introduced in.
to this country by the federal depart.
ment, but since that time many large
private importations have been made,
Part of the sheep on the Dubois range
are being kept as straight Corriedales,
while others are being crossed with
American crossbreds.

HOW THE SQUIRREL HELPS
uncle Sam Needs Seeds of Douglas
Fir and Knows Where to
Find Them.

Tree seed can't be bought in large
quantities in the market. To restock
the huge forests which are demolished
every year, Uncle Sam needs the seeds
OF the Douglas fir, western yellow
pine, Engelmann spruce, lodge pole
pine, not by the pound, but literally
by the ton.
The government needs men, from
two to six weeks every fall, to gather
seed. When the call goes out, lumber
jacks, college men, hoboes and former
convicts drift into the camps and work
side by side, gathering huge stores of
the precious seeds. Through experi-
ence they have found that their rich
est sources are the cunningly hidden
squirrel boards. The squirrel is canny:
he always picks the very best of cones
for his winters store.-The Nations

Weeks Old.
plenty of dry, bright, clean bedding
frequently-once every two or three
days If necessary-to keep the nests
and beds dry and comfortable is a
prerequisite of successful hog man
agement. This point can not be over
emphasized. The young pigs delight
In warm, dry nest, and the practical
hog raiser who caters to this desire is
the man who usually is able to make
the statement, backed up with actual
figures, that there is money in produc-
ing pork.
The great danger which results from
allowing the pigs to sleep in damp
bedding is that the next morning they
go out into the cold air, often covered
with steam, and consequently are like
ly to contract pneumonia or other SER
ious ailments. Dry bedding, frequent
changes of litter, well-built houses,
and plenty of feed of the right char
acter are essential where the producer
seeks 100 per cent pig-raising record.
Where these conditions are realized,
particularly where the fall pigs are
kept dry, sheltered, and we'll fed,r it is
as profitable to raise autumn porkers
as it is to produce spring pigs, despite
the common belief to the contrary.

Static Disturbances Might
Be Far-Off BrotherIy Hands
Knocking at Our Very Door

In Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress"
there is q man who ran with MS
fingers in his ears, shouting at the top
of his voice, that he might not hear.
In developing the possibilities OF ter
restrial communication it is of con-
summate Importance that we shall
find a way to put our fingers in our
ears and shut out the extraneous
noises of the estatics," Buckner Speed
writes In Harper's.
It is a cheap fancy and Improbable
science to muse about "high and far
off things' before we are ready for
them. We go on doing the thing next
to us, doing it well, conquering the
obstacles that it is profitable to con-
uuer. and we do well in doing so; but
little by little in doing so we are uA-
ouestionably reaching and feeling our
way toward the ability on our own
part to be cognizant of voices en-
anating from spheres other than our
own; and if there are beings OF ike
or greater intelligence than ours else
where. we shall in tine certainly be
in communication with them. 1t may
he even now that some Of these static
disturbances which we try so hard to
shut out are far-off brotharly hands
knocking at the door that we COW hold
fast closed.

Some Curious Experiments
With Both Flame and Air

"One Of the many curious expert
ments made with the purpose of secur-
ing long-range and reducing air re-
sistance resulted in a flaming shell, T"
writes J. n. Van Deventer in Every
body's. "The forepart of the shell con-
tains mixture of phosphorus and cop
per oxld, which is ignited as the shell
leaves the gun; not, strange to say, for
the purpose of setting fire to the enc
my's works or trains, but simply to
increase the range. Experiments have
shown increased ranges of almost ~
per cent for these flaming shells. The
explanation seems to be that the gases
given off coat the shell with sort of
frictionless gas film. Wind-tunnel ex-
periments show that air resistance is
cut down almost IS per cent by these
gas films" -

and accumulated her little savings, but
now, with the long summer days com

the neighbors-run errands, ride the
baby around the block, dust and make

nickels and dimes for thrift stamps,
it will be only short time when she

Of course the little girl must put
her ambition high enough to realize In
the five years that the War Savings

when that point is attained, she may

Let Truth Dictate.

Critics, like the rest Of mankind,
are very frequently misled by interest.
.. It has been advanced by Ad-
Olson as one of the characteristics of
a true critic, that he points out beau
ties rather than faults. But it is
rather natural to a man of learning
and genius to apply himself chiefly to
the study Of writer's who have more
beauties than faults to be displayed /;
for the duty Of criticism is neither to
depreciate, nor dignity by partial rep
reservations, but to hold cut the light
of reason. whatever it may discover ;
and to promulgate the determinations
