BREEDING FOR BETTER SHEEP
Experiment Being Conducted on Elk
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 a Lincoln-Merlno
cross, are being studied by the United
States department of agriculture at
the government %2s,O0O-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 thnn
the Merino, 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 OF 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 C~orriedales.
while others are being crossed with
American crossbreds.

CAR FEE SYSTEM Is
QUITE COMPLICATED
Amount Collected for Various
Vehicles Is Not Uniform.
Confusion Caused by Widely Varying
Requirements for Registration or
Licensing Of chauffeurs, Own
ers and Dealers.

The amount of fees collected per
a for either pleasure or commercial
vehicles Is as yet far from uniform and
Is still further complicated by the
widely varying requirements for the
registration or licensing of chaffeurs,
owners, operators, dealers, etc. Thus,
IL the total gross registration and
license revenues be used as a basis of
revenue, and the total automobile
trucks and vehicles as n basis for
motorcars, 1t is found that for the
entire United States the average fee
per car was SS.37. On the same b. ais
the state of New Hampshire received
in 1918 a gross revenue of S20.52 for
each motorcar, while Minnesota re-
ceived only about $1.75 annually for
each car. as the regist~l ton in that
state is for a three-year period.
In most states motorcars are taxed
as personal property in addition to
the required registration fees. In
Delaware, Idaho, Iowa. Michigan. New
York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Pennsylvania and Vermont
registration fees are in lieu of all other
taxes. Therefore, in making any COM
parsons in fees as between the several
states, this fact should be borne in
mind.

Already the showcases in ribbon de-
partments prophesy the coming Of the
holidays, for a lot of new and beau
tiful articles for wear and for house
hold use have made their appearance.
Lingerie ribbons. hair bows. shopping
bags and many other kinds of bags.
slippers and sashes are always in de-
mand, but they grow in importance
with the approach of the holidays,
since nothing is liked better for gifts.
This year will see them more popular
h a ever because they are less extrav-
agantly priced than other gifts that
have equal charm.
All women like pretty furbelows and
therefore they choose them as gifts
for their friends. The pretty lingerie
bows, carriers, rosettes, clasps, sachet
and powder bags-and other bits of
finery made of ribbons require time
and painstaking are and these add
more value to exquisite little gifts
than can be measured in dollars and
cents. A few of the novelties which
will figure in this years holiday dis
plays are shown in the picture above.
At the center of the group there is
a shower rosette made of narrow satin
ribbon, usually in pink, but pretty in
any light color. The rosette is made
of many knOtted loops varying in
, 1919-10-23

length. with the short ones Mt the CEN
ter. These, with a few short ends,
are sewed together at the base of the
loops. Eleven pieces of ribbon, also
of unequal length, and each having a
little bow at one end, are sewed to the
back of the ~rosette, which is then fas-
tened TO a medium-sized safety pin.
This rosette is TO be used on a night
dress or petticoat where 1t is pinned
to place when wanted.
Two pairs of garters are shown, each
made of n plain satin ribbon shirred
to u fiat elastic band. Each of the
garters at the left is ornamented with
a double bow of ribbon In which a rib
bon pansy is set and two buds. The
pansy is painted at the center. The
garters at the opposite side are finish
ed with small clusters of ribbon flow
ers. The group includes little rosettes
of ribbon with tiny ribbon or chiffon
roses at the center, each fastened to
a small safety pin. These are used
wherever needed, as on the shoulders
instead of clasps.

ELIMINATING BODY sQUEAKs
Thick Leather Straps or Washers,
Held In Position by Bolts, VIII
Stop Noise.

Motorcar frames are not at all rigid
under the distorting influences of an ir-
regular road surface, whereas the body
work is very much less free to bend
and give. This gives rise to slight rub
bling at various places where the frame
is in contact with the body stills, and
since these points of free contact are
not fabricated squeaks result. The
remedy is to insulate the body from
the frame with thick leather straps or
washers, so placed as to be held in po-
sition by the bolts securing the two.
In like manner the filler board used
with some types of windshield to
make 1t conform with the outline Of
the car dash can be prevented from
%squeaking by the insertion of a strip
of leather or felt.

YOUNG PIGS NEED ATTENTION
Special Care Should Be Given to

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Ordinarily the fall crop of pigs is
narrowed between the middle of Au-
gust and the 10th of October. 1t is
highly important that sows be well
fed and carefully tended during this
time, the care and management of the
dams being practically the same as
that followed when the spring filters
are narrowed. Similarly, fall pigs, af-
ter they are weaned, should be treat
ed the same as spring pigs. except
that in many parts of the country fall
pigs. do not have access to green for
age crops.
In the northern md colder locations,
special attention should be devoted to
housing and bedding the porkers,
particularly the young pigs. These
youngsters should never be allowed
to sleep in sheds or pens where they
are exposed to rain or snow, nor
should they'be allowed to lie OF damp
bedding. Supplying the fall pigs with

In the assemblage OF coats for little
girls certain kinds of cloth and certain
styles are set aside for children from
four years old upward to misses of
seventeen. Warmth, protection against
rain and snow, and durability are the
first consideration in girls conts and
all these things have beer looked af-
ter in the models presented for this
season. Prices have advanced as sharp
ly on children coats as they have on
shoes and Baby Bunting's father could
hardly be more proitably employed
than when he goes hunting for rabbit
skins to wrap the baby up In. Rabbit

For school wear there are heavy

less than cloth ones. will help solve
the problem OF warmth and durability
without high price. Dark blue cloth

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 nan
agement. This point can not be over
emphasized. The young pigs delight
in a 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 a 100 per cen pig-raising record.
Where these conditions are realized,
particularly where the fall pigs are
kept dry, sheltered. and well fed, 1t is
as profitable to raise autumn porkers
as 1t is to produce spring pigs, despite
the common belief to the contrary.
