In interest In this suit, The suit could
result In nothing more than an order
OF court compelling this Council TO re.

That the encroachment Is not OF a
nature to injure the city In any way
and in truth is probably worthy i'm

does not change the legal status OF
the case. and was erected for the pur

PROVIDE SHELTER FOR SHEEP
Animals Need Protection Against
Dampness as Well as From Cold
During the Winter.

For the benefit of farmers who are
wintering a flock of sheep for the
first time this year, the Nebraska Col
lege of Agriculture offers the follow
ing Suggestions: A good well-venti-
lated shelter is necessary, not so much
for protection against the cold as
against dampness. The fleece will
keep the sheep warm If it is dry. A
good shed open on the south will serve
the purpose until lambing time, when
a warm barn is necessary If the wealth
er Is at all cold. After the corn
is shocked the sheep can run in the
stalks in good weather, with corn
silage or alfalfa fed in limited guam
titles. A little fodder may be fed in
stead Of silage, but sheep seem to do
better where some kind Of succulent
feed, such as silage, roots, pumpkins
and the like is part Of their ration.
Very little or no grain is needed up
until a week or two after Landing.
