skin. Milk should be given freely and
the lamb returned to the eve and al
lowed to suckle as quickly as possi-
BILE.
Little trouble is experienced with
disowned lambs when lambing pens
are used. With a eve that refuses to
own her lamb 1t is sometimes suf1-
cient to draw some milk and rub 1t
upon her nose and also upon the
rump of the lamb. A heavy milking
eve with only one lamb sometimes
can be persuaded to adopt an orphan
or a disowned lamb of lighter milk
ing eve.
After lambing, the ewes should be
watched to see that their udders are
IN good condition. Ewes should be
kept in lambing pens for about three
days after lambing and then turned
into a pen by themselves, where they
can have special feed and care. AZ
ter lambing they should be fed lightly
at first, being put on full feed about
the third or fourth day.
Troublesome Ailments.
Well-nourished lambs from properly
fed ewes have little difficulty, but some
troublesome conditions are to be ex-
pected In any flock. Constipation Is
one of the most frequent ailments. It
is indicated by straining and distress,
and can be remedied by teaspoonful
Of castor oil. Indigestion is shown by
distress and frothing at the mouth.
This also usually can be relieved with
castor oil. Scours can best be cured
by giving one-fourth ounce of cooking
soda, one ounce of sulphate Of mag
nesia and pinch of ginger in flax
seed tea or Cruel, following the dose
In four hours with two ounces of lin
seed oil. Sore eyes are common and
can be relieved with few drops Of
silver nitrate solution known to all
druggists as "eye wash," or Is per
cent argyrol, or even q very small
drop of pure sheep dip.

every Berkshire breeder who follows
this suggestion does three things:
He puts a Berkshire boar on an ad.

CANCER DEVELOPED BY
RATS FED UP ON GERMS

NEW YORK. March 2S.-Inocula-
tion or feeding" Of animals with a
parasitic irritant obtained from in
tostines OF cats has proved a sue
cessful means Of cancer reproduc-
ton, 1t was learned at the George
Crocker Cancer Research Laboratory,
Columbia University.
According to DR.. Francis Carter
Wood, director OF the laboratory, the
disease has been developed In a large
number Of rats simultaneously. The
discovery Is considered highly i'm
rortant from a standpoint OF scien-
tific experimentation.
DR.. Wood says cancer can be re-
produced In about so per cent OF the
white rats utilized by the laboratory
in advanced research work. The
failure OF the remaining SO per cent
to develop the disease has convinced
him that there is some tissue pre-
dis sposition which Is yet to be ex-
planned.

JUDGE GARY SCORED
FOR STEEL PRICES
John Shelton Williams BIames
Plight of Railroads on ex- ;.
ceSsive Rates.

Returning to the attack upon
prices charged by the United States
Steel Corporation during and since
the war. John SHELTON Williams, now
living In Richmond. gave out yes
terday q letter to Chairman Ebert
II. Gary. OF the corporation. in which
re cited figures to show that the
prices were and are excessive ana
that they are largely responsible for
the present plight of the railroads
Of the country and for the general
business depression.
The railroads, Mr.. Williams SAID,
are paying five times as much in
.erest on the money they put into
steel freight cars now as they paid
Just before the war. Just prior to
1914. he stated, steel cars cost the
roads about $1,000 each, and they
paid per cent. or $50, interest on
the money they used to pay for a
car. Now they pay, he said. about
$4,000 for such a steel car and, as
their credit has declined with their
net earnings. they must pay 8 per
cent, or about $3.50. for the money
that is, Ave times as much as in
1913.
HARDSHIP ON RAILROADS
Mr.. williams charged that the
prices the roads are required to pay
for their supplies, principally prod
ucts OF steel and iron. are excessive.
and those excessive prices for ma
terials, plus what he terms the "inde-
fensible exactions" for interest. plus
high wages and salaries. are mainly
responsible for "the present desper-
ate plight of the transportation
lines" Mr.. williams further charged
that the alleged excessive. prices for
steel and iron have become an active
cause of unemployment and suffering,
and quoted figures to prove that Iron
and steel products are 100 per cent
above pre-wsr prices, while other
metals have returned to the pre-war
basis or less.
Saying that figures at Judge Gary's
command prove indisputably that the
Steel Corporation could earn reason
able profits, and be entirely comfort
able" while reducing all prices of it's
products by "a heavy percentage" Nj.
williams added:
WOULD HELP READJUSTMENT.
"You cannot, Judge Gary. defend q
reduction in wages at the same time
that your corporation Is gathering
in such profits for shareholders as
those to which ! have directed atten-
tion. Proper action by you now
would help in the re-adjustment of
wages, enable sorely needed building
operations to proceed. give an ex-
ample OF public service and regard
for the general welfare, and send new
vigor and impetus through these
languishing and stagnating channels

BUSINESS ASKS VOICE
IN RAILROAD DISPUTE

Business should be given a hearing
in the present controversy before the

over wages. working regulations, and
conditions in railroad employment,
declares a statement issued today by

Association.
The National Lumber Manufacture
ers' Association, joining with the Ma
tional Retail Lumber Dealers Associ-
alton, urges that the public be given
hearing, the national agreements
abrogated, and that the railroads be
allowed to take the action they deem
necessary for the protection of the
public interest and the revival of
prosperity for the transportation
systems.

Yet some of these big fellows can't

them as high and mighty and arro-

their own estimation.

Mr.. Crissinger, "and times are

the utmost sympathy for them
and will do anything l possibly
can to help them in the present

'But the people, editors and
others, who seem to delight in
harping on hard times and the
prospect of harder times, are
the ones most to blame for the
present inactivity in manufac.
turing, and for timidity on the
part of the buying public. I
do not want to borrow the
phrase of a statesman who said
on another occasion that the
depression was purely psyche
logical but it is difficult to
