FLUSHING EWES INCREASES LAMB
 YIELD, TESTS REVEAL.

In six years work the United States Department of Agriculture has found that by extra feeding Commonly called "fiushing") at breeding time, it's South down ewes yielded 19S more lambs per 1000 ewes than Southdown ewes other wise given the same care aNi kept close wise given the same care and kept the same conditions.
 Good blue grass, mixed timothy and clover, or soy-bean pasture if available, furnish the most satisfactory and econ omical means of flushing; but i Ia drought has prevented good pasture a supplementary grain ration has been found to give approximately as good re- suits in increasing the number of lambs as the extra good pasture. A ration of l oats alone, or equal parts by measure of 1 corn, oats, and bran in the amount of about one-haf to three-fourths pound per eve per day, is a good one to use. Flushing increases the size of the lamb crop in two ways-it puts the ewes in better condition to make sure of their 1 getting in lamb and it increases the pro-
 portion of twin lambs. Sheep breeders
 are constantly striving to increase the proportion of lambs born to the number l of ewes in their flocks, but they have in
 most cases paid little attention to the

HOW TUBERCULOSIS SPREADS IN
 HERD.

The extent to which bovine tubercu- losis, if uncontrolled, runs it's course through a herd of cattle is shown in a recent report received by the United States Department of Agriculture from one of it's field inspectors in Illinois. Every animal in herd of grade Holstsin and Jerseys roaoted to the tuberculin test. The herd con- sisted of 14 cows. calves and 2 bulls. Upon post-mortem examination six of the animals showed such extensive lesions that the entire carcass was condemned and destroyed. All of the other reactors likewise showed lesions though not of such an extensive na- ture as to necessitate destruction of the carcass. The fact that every ani- nal in the herd reacted and showed 1 lesions makes the case one of the most striking ever recorded.

Chicago Grain Market

Chicago, Oct. 19-Uncertainties creat- ed by the busting of Lloyd George as British premier had a noticeable bearish effect today on the wheat market here. Prices closed unsettled at 1c net decline to 3-S gain with December 1.127-8 to 1.13 and May 1.12 to 1.121-S, corn fin- ished 14c off to a shade advance oats Is down to 1-4c up, and provisions ranging from setback of Sc to a rise of 21-2c.
 Previous to definite announcement that the Lloyd George coalition has been overthrown, the wheat market here had averaged higher influenced by the com paritive strength which Liverpool quo tations displayed in the face of yester- days declines on this side of the Atlantic. Bullish sentiment, however was checked by assertions that traffic 1 congestion at the lake ports was being overcome and that exporters were giving

DON'T sTARvE BULLETS.

OON S1AhNE PULLETSs ..
 There seems to be in the minds of many poultrymen an opinion that early matched bullets now in production may be successfully held back by discontinu- ing the dry mash. While this prac- tice may work out satisfactorily in some cases as a rule it does, not ac- cording to Roy E. Jones, poultry spe- cialist for the extension service.
 The bullets must either be kept growing or laying. DAcontinuing the dry mash is bound to decrease the tota. feed consumed and retard growth which results in only marking time rather than storing up reserve energy for winter.
 The better practice, says MT. Jones is to decrease the beef scrap in the dry mash and continue the mash feed ing with a liberal amount of graiii Even this practice should be followeu only when the bullets are undersizeo and in poor flesh.

New York. Oct. 19-Heavy buying of Liberty 1-2's, which were carried to 10S.02, a new high record for all time, in the face of decidedly reactionary trend in the domestic and foreign secur- tiles lists, was the outstanding feature in todays bond dealings. The buying of 1-2's, an entirely tax-exempt issue, apparently was on the part of large in terests. At 10S.02 they were $1.S0 above last nights close, but they dropped later to 102. The previous record high for this issue was 1O2.5o in August and the low, s6 in June, 1921.

TEE

Fargo, N. D., July 1.-Belated
reports today from Wednesdays
statewide primary in North Dakota
seemed to bear, out early indica-
tions that Lynn J. Frazier, Nom
Partisan, had captured the Repub-
lican senatorial nomination by q
majority of less than 10000. -
While Porter J. McCumber, the
states senior senator and chair
man of the senate. finance commit
tee, dropped behind Frazier in re-
turns tabulated today, reports
from a number Of the scattering
precincts favorable to McCumber
tonight cut down to less than 1000
the margin that separated them.
Friends Of McCumber here, con-
ceding his defeat, admitted that
most of the. missing precincts un-
doubtedly would be favorable to
Frazier, bu insisted the latter's
plurality would fall considerably
short of the $4,000 to 10000 mark
league quarters have forecast.
Meanwhile, Gov. r. A., Nestos,
Independent, had a lead Of 10000
over B. F. Baker, Non-Partisan, in
the Republican gubernatorial con-
test and Independent headquarters
declared tonight there seemed no
reason to alter its prediction Of
10000 plurality for Nestos.
In 1,151 Of the states 1904 pre-
cincts tabulated on the senatorial
race, Frazier had 76,398 and Nc
Cumber 74,962; a gain for McCum-
Der over the last previous totals,
due largely to the "mopping up"
Of precincts in nearby territory
known to be favorable to the sena-
tor.
The same precincts in the guber-
material contest gave Nestos 85,-
1928 and Baker 69,27o. It was esti-
mated at tabulation headquarters
here that Nestos' lead was nearly
as great as the total outstanding
vote which, it is agreed, is largely
in Baker erritory.

COTTON GOES Up
175 POINTS TODAY
''Say them words over agin."

"Say them words over agin."
The government report on condi-
ton and acreage of the cotton crop
with it's estimate of the size Of the
next crop, was announced today at
1915. The condition was placed at
71.2, the acreage was reported to be
34,S52,0O0, while the estimated
yield of the growing crop was an
nounced at 11,O65,O00 bales.
The condition figures and the esti-
mated yield were below what the
trade expected, and the market made
an advance of ITS points before the
close. Spot cotton would have brought
on the Abbeville market today "a
cents per pound, which is the best
price in many days.
And everything depends on the
weather from now on. Just now the
cotton is clean and growing. The
conditions will not be any better than
today as the season progresses, while
there is every chance that with bad
weather, the figures will be lower.
Such being the case, cotton may be
expected with any unfavorable turn
of the crop to bring much higher
prices, as we see it.

Machinists, who are among the
shop employees on strike, were cut

Chicago, July with the coun-
trywide strike of shopmen declared
by union leaders to be virtually 100
per cent. effective, the nations great
transportation machine continued its
work without interruption.
Railway executives were unani-
nous in expressing their belief that
the strike would have little effect on
the operation of their roads and at
the same time asserted that any
move toward a settlement would have
to come from the United States labor
board or the employees.
B. M. Jewell, president of the rail-
way department of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, who yesterday re-
fused to appear at federal inquiry
into the strike call, reiterated that
the only basis for a settlement was
for the roads to agree not to put in
to effect wage DEGREES recently order
ed for the shopmen by the labor
board.
Ben. w. Hooper, chairman of the
labor board, declared in a formal
statement that the power of the gov
ernment, coupled with public senti-
ment, will give every protection to
every railway employee who re-
mains on the job and to all men who
take the places of the strikers in the
present walkout.
Mr.. Hooper asserted that the strike
was called against the decisions Of
federal tribunal over rulings laid
down after careful consideration of
the evidence on both sides. The men
who take the places of the striking
shopmen will render public service,
he declared, and should therefore be
immune from the characterization of
"scab" or "strikebreaker."
The walkout began in all sections
of the country promptly at 10 a. m.
and in many places took on the aspect
of a holiday, the men singing and
cheering as they threw down their
tools. AS reports came into union
headquarters during the day, leaders
asserted that the ranks of the strik-
ers would number more than three

number including those relating to
