times over in the resultant lamb crop.
A yearling ram, properly managed,
will serve 80 40 ewes and mature
ram two years or over will care for
50-75 head. When using buck older
than five years the ewes should be
carefully watched to see is they recur
in heat indicating that the buck is too
old to be longer depended upon.
Proper management of the buck is
very important. A month prior to mat
ing he should receive extra feed, pre-
ferrably oats or bran and legumin-
Gus hay. If barley is used it should be
supplemented by oil meal or an equal
amount cf bran. When ready to begin
mating the ram should not be turned
into the flock and allowed to remain
with them night and day. The practice
most recommended is to allow him
with the flock only an hour morning
and evenings, keeping him in pen
out of sight of the flock the balance of
the time. If he is restless and does not
eat well, a few weathers, buck lambs
OF bred ewes may be put with him. By
dobbing branding paint on the brisket
Of the buck, the ewes he has covered
from day to day may be easily idcnti-
lied. lt will be necessary to replace the
paint every day Of two. Be sure to use
only sheep branding paint. Common
paint reduces the value of the wool.
1t IS only matter of good manage
ment to ear tag all ewes, and will
greatly facilitate proper record Of
fjheir breeding dates, each eve having
a different numbered tag. The ear tag
numbers of the ewes bred within a
given week should be entered in a
book. Red branding paint may be used
on the left side of the brisket the first
week, blue paint on the right side the
second week and red paint in the mid
rle of the brisket the third week. This
may not seem worth while to the be-
glnner in the fall, but he will see the
wisdom of the practice when lambing
commences in the spring. Such a prac-
tlce Will save 10 to Is per cent of
Lambs, especially if early lambing is
followed.
Use only good pure bred bucks of
mature age, good size and we'll wooled.
Such buck will cost from $4,000 to
$4,000. Shropshire, Hampshire and
oxford Down breeds are recommended
for North Dakota farmers.
Lastly in selecting a buck carefully
examine the fleece. A good wooled
buck will pay for himself in the diff
ference in value of the first clip of
his progeny. Avoid hairy fleeced,
blnezskinned buck.-By J.. H. Haw,

FRAZIER THREATENS STATE
OPERATION OF COAL MINES
ULTIMATUM ISSUED AFTER OPERATORS sUCCUMB TO " A.
INFLUENCES AND REFUSE TO REACH AGREEMENT
.M. MINERS STATE

The coal situation in North Dakota
reached it's climax Monday when Gov
ernor Frazier, acting in behalf Of the
people Of North Dakota, who were
threatened with a fuel famine in the
midst of the most severe weather for
this time of the year for many years,
served an ultimatum on the coal op-
orators declaring that the state would
take the mines over for operation 6
o'clock Tuesday if the operators failed
by that time to reach an agreement
with the miners.
This action on the part of the gov
ernor followed the failure the week
before of the operators to reach an
agreement with the miners at confer
ence called by Governor Frazier. The
operators, who had been favorable to
an agreement earlier, had been sub
jected to storms Of protest by the I.
V. A. and other big business organs
and had been influenced to change
their attitude. -..
The governors decision to take over
the mines unless the operators made
arrangements with the miners to oper-
ate them was announced in a procla-
nation Monday afternoon
The proclamation follows:
The Governors Proclamation
Bismarck, N. D. Nov. 10.-The proc
lamation which Governor Frazier is
sued reads:
When strike in the Ignite coal
fields was threatened on November l.,
1919, I, Lynn J. Frazier, as governor,
Immediately called upon the officials
Of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea for a modification of the strike
order so far as it affected the Ignite
coal miners of the state. I pointed out
to them the seriousness of the situa-
tion, owing to the unusually severe
cold weather at this time, the pros
pect of long and cold winter and the
imminent danger Of loss of life and
extreme suffering Of the innocent pub
lie if the strike took place. "a
They Responded Promptly
The officials Of the United Mine
Workers Of America responded at once
modifyingthe strike order by suspend
ing the strike. They suggested 4 con-
ference with me, which I granted, and
following which also invited the mine
operators for conference. At the con-
ference the United Mine Workers
made certain proposals which under
tn circumstances in this crisis appear
ed reasonable to me, and I presented
them to the mine operators, who SEEM
ed fairly disposed and apparently
were ready to accept them; but later
there developed among the majority
of the operators, principally thru ag-
itation of one of their number and an
attorney, an Indifferent attitude, and
an admission on the part of one of the
operators that all his company was
after the profits. The public welfare
or the suffering of the people seemed
to be a secondary consideration.

/ A eve should not be bred before she
is a yearling. The breeding of eve
lambs checks their growth and devel-
opment. A crop of weak inferior lambs
is the almost sure result with difficult
ty and loss in lambing, and serious diff
ficulties in getting the mother to own
and suckle her lamb,
Ewes commence to come in heat
with the first cool night in the fall and
will recur in heat every 14-19 days un-

is recommended. This means extra
feeding Of the ewes several weeks pri-
or to mating in order that they be in
gaining condition when bred. Ewes
will more frequently produce twins
and will be more certain in breeding
when such practice is followed. The
lambs will also be dropped in shoter
period in the spring. Feeding ration
Of oats, good hay, especially alfalfa
green oat bundles, silage or roots is
recommended for flushing in North
Dakota.
The use Of buck lamb should be
discouraged. If "hand bred" and only

It may become apparent that there
we're certain forces at work to prevent
the operators from reaching conclu-
sion and that delay had become the
sole purpose of the ruling factors.
Who and what those forces were the
public may judge as well as ]. It is
an interesting commentary upon the
attitude Of the mine operators that the
proposals which were represented to
them, if accepted, would have caused
them no financial loss.
He Quotes Message
Z Since the breaking off of these ne
gotiations the United Mine Workers
have gone out, and most of the coal
production of the state has ceased. A
serious crisis confronts us; loss of life
and severe suffering await thousands
Of families. I have received numerous
telephone calls and messages of which
the following is q fair sample:
'Severe blizzard. With three retail
FOCAL dealers here there is not pound
of coal or stick of wood. Many con-
sumers have only q weeks supply of
fuel. Do your best.
arthur Community Club,
Joseph Borgam."
In addition l have received telephone
calls and messages that the state take
over and operate the mines pending
the outcome of the strike, and thereby
avoid the calamity which is imminent.
+ Time Limit is Set
f Now, therefore, since there is no
other competent and expedient method
by which the threatened danger can
be averted, I, Lynn J. Frazier, by vjr-
tue of the authority vested in me as
governor Of the State of North Dako-
ia, do hereby direct and command that
you, the mine operators and mine
workers, reach an agreement by which
the mines may be reopened, and that
said agreement be reached on or be-
fore Tuesday 6 P. M, November II,
1919, or upon your failure to do so
it shall be taken as conclusive evidence
that you are unable to operate the
mines so as to protect the fpublic; and
in which event the mines will be taken
over by the state and will be operated
for and in behalf of the public, with
justice and fairness to all, until the
present emergency shall have passed.
Governor Asks for Support
I respectfully request that all pub
lie spirited men and women who put
human life and the welfare of the peo-
pie who toll above their profits to
uphold my hands regardless of their
political affiliations so that we may
not in this day and age be reproached
with having permitted untold suffer-
ing without using every means at our
disposal to avert this calamity which
confronts us and which we cannot es-
cape by inaction.

ADVICE ON MATING SHEEP

The CESSATION period in sheep
ranges from 145 to 148 days. The date
at which ewes should be mated under
North Dakota conditions will depend
primarily upon the shelter and accom-
odations for lambing. The pAre bred
breeder should mate for February
lambs in order TO get size before the
fall SHOWS and because the buck lambs
will sell in the fall SO much more read
lily when Of good size. As general
rule believe the North Dakota farm

NEWEST ELECTRIC
LIGHT is LAUDED
Shines Nearer Like The Sun Than
Any Other, Is Claim in London.

! London.AA light which far sur
ssses any existing arrangement of
rtificial light and is the closest ap-
hroximation to actual daylight ever
accomplished, is understood by the
american Chamber of Commerce IN
london to have been perfected here.
The apparatus consists OF high
bower electric light bulb fitted with
cup-shaped opaque reflector, the
tsilvered inner side of which reflects
! the light against parasol shaped
screen placed above the light. The
screen is lined with small patches OF
different colors, arranged according
to a formula worked out emprlcally
by MIR. Sheringham, the inventor, and
carefully tested and perfected IN the
imperial College of Science and
technology. -.
The light thrown down from the
screen is said to show colors almost
hs well in full daylight. Under the
new light delicate yellows were quite
Rdistinct, indigo blues were blue,
nbalts had their full value, and vlo-
Is lost the reddish shade which they
)Aisplay in electric light.
The American chamber says
great future is expected for this m
yention in such used as the lighting
of show windows and art galleries,
studio work of all kinds, dye works,
tea and tobacco blending and many
other, Industries. Color photography
also will probably benefit.
