ELIMINATE ALL POOR LAMBS
carcasses of Improperly Finished An
imaIs Do Not Find Ready
Sale on Market.

Just why the latter part of August
and early part of September invari-
ably demoralizes the lamb market has
puzzled market students for many
years. A large percentage OF lambs
coming out of Illinois, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa are
small native animals that have to be
sold for what they will realize. THESE
lambs coming on a usually congested
market sell for q marked reduction
and since the consumption OF lamp
is limited in certain sections of the
country, carcasses from these improp-
erly finished limbs do not find a ready
sale. This annual occurrence In TINS
section not only penalties the growers
of good lambs but means loss TO the
producers of the inferior kinds. Since
the product is inferior it has tend
ency to prejudice consumers against
lamb.
Farmers In the corn belt states sur
rounding the Chicago market are ad-
vised by United States department OF
agriculture specialists to make con-
certed effort to put their lambs in bet
ter market condition. 1t is thought
certain that most Of those who were
responsible for this years native
lambs could have put them In much
better market condition, with good
profit to themselves. 1t is regrettabie
that so large number of unlocked
and unrestricted, poorly finished, scrub
bred lambs fill the markets from these
sections.
The man who keeps small flock on
the farm is advised TO remember the
Importance of handling sheep wisely.
The ewes should be bred early enough
In the fall SO that they will produce
their lambs in March and April. The
lambs should be locked and castrated
when they are ten days old. They
should receive sufficient feed to keep
them growing in order that when they
are ready for the market in abour
four months they should weigh from

You simply touch the electric needle
to one or the other side of the crack,
withdraw it a traction of an inch, and
then repeat the process over and over.

It is d. n. Wilson, the New York
engineer, who proposes the surgical
operation. You don't recall Wilson?
He is the man who fitted up anew the
damaged German merchant marine.
Remember, when the United States
threw down the gauntlet to Germany
in April three years ago how the Huns
retaliated by putting out of commits
sion nearly every German merchant
liner tiea up at American wharves?
Axes were swung, explosives were
used, and intricate machinery with
which these ships were propelled was
dashed in" In the belief that the
Yanks never would be able to repair
these ships in time to turn them
against the fatherland. Looking over
the wrecks" some engineers said 1t
would take year or more to repair
these ships and put them back in COM
mission. New parts would have to be
installed:
Then along came Wilson with his
electric-welding needle. 1t is mat
ter of history, Of course, that in from
three to Icur months every single Ger
man liner was ready to put to sea
again. Even while Yankee troops
were wiping out the st. Mihiel salient
and sweeping clean the Argonne,
these German ships, led by the giant
Vaterland, were pouring American
men and munitions into England,
France and Belgium. Not only did
Wilson and his crew weld the Water
land and her sister ships as good as
new. but he made them so fleet that
our gobs were able to get three knots
better speed out of them than the Ger
mans ever had made.
So far has electrical welding pro-
crossed that the ship of the future will

RAISING REGISTERED CATTLE
Many Farmers Hesitate to Start With
Pure-Bred Animals Because Of
Lack of knowledge.

Many farmers would like to raise
registered cattle, but because Of their
lack of knowledge of pedigrees or indi-

with pure-brea animals. A safe way to
start is to buy few bred cows or

For modern American science says,
the Liberty Bell may be made to ring
again as joyously as of old.
What history has the Liberty
Bell! No wonder it is revered.
Independence hall was built as the
state house of the Pennsylvania colo
NAL government. 1t was finished in
1884 and cost $2S,000-regarded at
the time as an extravagant sum to put
into public building. The bell for
its belfry was imported from Eng
land. 1t was east in 1852. On its
trial ringing it cracked. 1t was re-
cast in 1853 by Pass & Stow of Phil
adelphia. Isaac Norris, ESQ.,, speak
er of the Pennsylvania assembly, had
charge of the recasting, and it was
at his suggestion that the words Of
Holy Writ were cast upon fllets
around its crown-words so strangely
prophetic of the great day to come %
years later.
The old bell rang first to call the
members of the assembly; it rang
when town meetings were held in the
state house yard; it tolled dismally
when the stamp act went into effect;
it electrified the people when the tea
ship Polly was sent home with its
cargo untouched, it saluted the patri-
OTIS from Boston when they sojourned
with the patriots of Philadelphia; 1T
sounded dirge fashion when Boston
was occupied by the redcoats under
Gage; it pealed joyously when the
news of Lexington and Concord
reached the Quaker City, and finally,
it changed forth as spokesman an
nouncing the birth of the new repub-
lie and the contamination OF the Dec
laration of independence.
For a time it rested on the bot
tom of the Delaware river, that the
British should not find it. For many
years after the Revolution it joyously
announced the coming of illustrious
visitors, and it tolled in mourning for
the deaths of American patriots. 1t
rang its last in 1885 when tolling for
the funeral of John Marshall, chief
Justice of the United States, for then
IL cracked.
