Sheep to Eradicate
Weeds Gains Favor
Noxious Plants Turned Into
Good Mutton and Wool.

Perhaps the day will never come
when the weed pest will not be with
us early and late. While you are
planning a warfare on the various
pestiferous weeds about your farm do
not forget that sheep are the farmers
friends In helping to eradicate weeds.
Moreover. they turn the same weeds
and other roughage not usually saved
or harvested into good mutton and
prime wool. Every farmer who is
fixed with fences and markets and a
little understanding of sheep nature
and habits should keep a small flock.
II he is a sheep expert this advice Is
not for him. for already such a man
has on his place us many of the WOOL
ly critters as he can a for.
Sheep suffer from q number of all
ments and pests which often deter a
beginner from making a start. Most
Of these troubles disappear with In
telligent care. Before you let those
pesky weeds 60 to seed this fau get
a small flock Of sheep to clear them
out of the way. The pasture. full Of
buck brush, steel weed or other null
sances of the farm can be cleared up
until 1t looks like a lawn II you will
turn sheep or goats into 1t n run
the mower over It a few times each
season. There Is absolutely no use In
giving yer to weeds and brush half
of your pasture land or any of the
cultivated fields when g vigorous at
tack on the robber weeds ran be made
successful with sheep and clean cul-
tivation.

Jerky Movements
in Examining Bee Hive

II is a mistake to suppose. as many
do. that the chief characteristic of a
bee Is Its sting. II manipulated with
proper care and consideration for the
bees. the chance Of being stung is re-
duced to a minimum. Hives should
be examined during the day while the
bees are working; they should be dis
turbed as little rs possible, especially
on dull days or when rain threatens
for Mt such times the bees are likely
to be most irritable. They should not
be examined Mt night and only when
necessary at other times; else the
most sweet-tcmpered bees will have
their characters changed. Rapid and
jerking movements should be avoided.
When examining hives. do not keep
them open too long and avoid exanlin-
ing. Is much as possible. II h wealth
er Is cold. oil the brood will tend to be
chilled, al the temperature of the hive
Is higher than the outside tempern-
ture. Bees dislike black and II is pref
cradle to wear light clothes In the
apiary. Before opening the hive for
examination. a few puffs of smoke
should be tent into the entrance: when
the Is removed the guilt should
he raised at one end and a few more
puffs directed down between the
frames. This muses. the bees to gorge
themselves with honey. In which state
they are more tractable. The hive
should moi be Jared In any way and
all operations should be carried on
from the side or bnck Of the hive so
that the free flight of the workers Is
not prevented In the least.

PEACE IN EUROPE
NEAR REALIZATION
FRENCH AND GERMANS IN FINAL
AGREEMENT ON EVACUATION
OF THE RUHR
LONDON MEETING IS SUCCESS
Foreign Soldiers Will Be Withdrawn
From Dortmund on
August 80.

London.-The French and Germans
finally have settled their long contro-
versy over the military evacuation of
the Ruhr by an exchange of letters
Aug. 10, In which they agree to the
principle that August 10, of next year
he fixed as the final date when the
French and Belgian troops must COM
pletely e%vacuate the Ruhr territory.
They have also agreed that a partial
evacuation will begin on August 30 of
this year when the foreign soldiers will
leave Dortmund and the cities n
places outside of the Ruhr which were
not occupied in accordance with the
terms of the treaty of Versailles.
The Belgians join with the French
in the letters covering these points.
Both the French and the Germans In
their letters, insist that they nave not
altered their opinions about the legal
questions involved in the occupation of
the Ruhr.
The London conference, after 30
days, has thus been brought to a sue
cessful conclusion. All eyes now turn
to Berlin and Paris, anxiOusly watch
Ing to see If the German reichstag and
the French parliament will support
Chancellor Marx and Premier HerriOt
in the bold step they have taken.
Both these premiers belong to minor
ity governments which are none too
stable and the reaction of the German
and French peoples will be watched
with some apprehension until their
executive bodies approve n make 1t
possible for German and French repre-
s~entatives to meet with the represent
atives of the other interested powers
at Paris on August 30 and attach their
formal signatures to the document.
NJ. Herrit's bargain with the Ger
mans for the evacuation of the Ruhr
and the agreement on the Dawes plan
have been received in political and
parliamentary circles without enthusi-
asm and with a rather uneasy relief
but ratification seems probable. All
are glad that the agony finally is over.
but few are exultant n 1.-THE terms, the
premier's friends and foes alike brac-
Ing themselves for a warm debate in
the chamber and senate over ratifi-
cation at the end of mex week And
neither side appears to relish the pros

JOINING THE LEAGUE \
 MATTER OF TIME

If the people make up their minds they want to join the League of Nations this country will join, ac- cording 10 the apparent beliefs of American officials.
 Sooner or later we shall find it necessary to join officially with the nations composing the League and quit our anachronic position of be- ing a bystander or a peeping Tom in connection with the world events in which we are as vitally interested already as any power belonging to the league.
 It is not political question, despite the erstwhile successful ef- forts of politicians to make our at- titude toward the league a political football.
 By our advocacy of the World Court We in effect are trying to get into the League through the back door so as not to excite the suspi- cions of Americans who assiduously have been coached to regard the League as nullifying American sovereignty if we join. This hum- bug in time vii lfall of it's own weight, and right and justice and clear thinking will prevail over po- litical chicanery.
