Such plan as this allows sufficient

SUCCESS IN SHEEP BUSINESS
Stomach Worm Is Most Widely Dis
tributed ard Serious Trouble With
Average Flock.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
In any system of continuous farm
sheep raising, the health question is
of primary Importance. This question
Is chiefly one of internal parasites,
and Of these the stomach worm Is the
most widely distributed and the most
serious. Fortunately, the trouble Is
entirely susceptible of practical con-
troll, and the methods Of prevention are
exactly in line with the practices that
result In most economical production.
1t is possible, though doubtful, that the
permanent farm flock can be main
tanned in maximum health when
grazed entirely OF permanent grass
pastures. A system Of division OF
grass land into sufficient parts to al
low frequent long periods without
sheep and use Of longer grass for cat
tie will assist materially Such a plan,
combined with occasional use of medi-
cine to prevent toe serious infection.
may prove to be practical.
The basis OF success in the farm
sheep business Is IN the frequency OF
changing to pastures which have not
had any opportunity to become infect
ed with stomach worms by older
sheep. These frequent changes are
particularly necessary during the stay
of the young lambs upon the farm.
The older sheep are less susceptible
to the effects of The infection, though
danger OF their being injured thereby
is not to be overlooked. The plan of
frequent changes to fresh feed cnn be
adapted advantage ously to the most
economical systems of using high
priced land In the rotation of crops
to produce feed and forage for other
kinds of livestock.
The principles of flock management
for maximum health and for adoption
to other lines of farm production are
illustrated In the following outline of
plan of crop production and feeding.

We are indebted to an English pub
LEGATION for a copy Of the last Will and
testament Of the late William Shake
speare. In the course Of this docu-
ment, we observe the following SEN
tence:
Il gyve onto my wief my second best
bed with the furniture"
We have no desire to fnd fault with
the successful poet and dramatist OF
Stratford for this apparent discrimina-
ton against the Widow Shakespeare.
What disposition he made Of his first
best bed Is matter that is not re-
vealed by the copy of the will OF the
versatile author whose last testament
Is reported In the columns OF our alert
London contemporary. However. We
don't think Mr.. S. showed just the
right spirit In gyvelng onto his wief his
second best bed. 0, why did ne not
gyve onto her his first bed, or his tee
potte or his punche bole with the gilt
butterhyes, or his favorytte wigge, or
his safetie razure, or fountain penne. or
bicycle-anythIng, In fact but his sec
ond best bed7
NO doubt Mr.. Shakespeare had gone
to bed with his boots on many a Satur-
day night in that very second best bed.
and yet, hnllowed as it was by such
memories, one cannot but feel that the
widow was treated unfairly. Perhaps
Wills folks Influenced him. AS CO.

and esteem for him. But we don't
think he acted right about friend wief.

BLUEJACKETS ATTEMPT
TO GANG MAN IN HOME

Bluejackets are alleged to have en-
tered the home of George A. Mcclure
317 S. Baylen-st shortly after midnight
yesterday morning and after using
at
abusive language to his wife and NAL
treating a Mrs. Clara Barbee who was
with her at the time. attempted to
gang Mcclure and beat him. Mcclure
received several severe licks about the
head from a club and it is probable
that he would have been overpowered
if his wife had not gotten revolver
and kept off the rest of the sailors
who had gathered.
Mcclure stated yesterday that he
was certain that the man was drunk,
and that he was merely protecting his
home against the unwelcome visit of
the sailors.
The bluejackets involved are believ-
ed to be provost guards. as all others
in the naval service are forbidden to
go south of Governments, except
in coming from and returning to the
boats. 1t is believed that the affair
will be thoroughly investigated by the
commander of the destroyers now in
the harbor.
