Of Agriouture.)
A ruotarial shortage In spring lambs
is Indicated in advices received by the
United Stntes Department Of Agrtcul-
ture from the westerns sheep country.
Figures are not available, but trained
observers say that the total lamb pro-
duction In Montana, Wyoming, Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho and Nevada ls
only 20 per cent Of normal crop
Smaller Supply Of Wool.
This also means small supply Of
wool. Contracting Of both wool and
LAMPS has reached large dimensions
during recent weeks. Numerous large
western operators are reported to be
securing the West for new crop lambs
and many sales at 8 to 10 cents a
pound are reported, with the lntter
price being generally refused In Idaho,
Washington and Oregon. The price
last year was to cents. Fleeces on
Sleeps backs are selling as high as
IS to 3S cents pound, with some
clips Including the Jericho pool clip
selling up to DO cents.
The situation is attributed to u
shortage Of ewes, the over age Of
many breeding flocks, and losses Of
early spring lambs on account Of cold
weather nnd the backward spring
season. a winter lamb and sheep
market higher than the trade antici-
pated, shortage In the visible sup.
ply, and the recent sharp upturn in
wool values have created bullish
sentiment I'm the markets.
Money which was tight last fall
and In the early wipter, now appears
abundant and large spectators and
Western feeders are buying freely.
This fact combined with the short
crop leads many In the trade to be-
heYe that the coming summer and
fall supply Of both Feeding and fat
lnmty at the large market centers
will be far below normal. Present con-
ditions indicate that many lambs will

Every thinking person realizes
that caution is necessary in driving
over railroad tracks. Every person
Of sane mind knows that it is almost
suicidal to act about the same there
as in other places. For many years
those long stretches Of iron rails
have been used by engines and trains
OF cars.
Only at intervals are the crossings
occupied by trains: When so occu-
piod the highway traveller must keen
cut Of the way If he desires to keen
On living.
The man at the throttle of the To-
comotive Is charged with the duty
of getting his train through safely
and promptly. Every day thousands
OF travellers are eager to get through
on time, and If the engineer meets
their expectations he must roll off
the miles on schedule time. No stops
at crossings.
III the course Of his trip that en-
gineer sees lot Of things that worry
him. He notices that some drivers
Of motor cars come pell-mell up 20
the crossing, acting as If they in
tended to make a dash across ahead
Of his train. Some OF them make
sudden stop just before they reach
the tracks, while others speed across
and risk their lives just for the sake
Of gartifying a desire for one more
thrill.
He notices some drivers whose
thoughts seem to be centered upon
far-off things. They appear not to
listen, and it Is sure thing that
they do not look both ways for, the
trains
On fair day the country looks
very agreeable to the men on the
engine, who wonder that, with life
presenting so pleasing an aspect, so
many automobile drivers seem will
Ing to risk losing their share Of It.
1t is no wonder that the engineer
