earth is 30 annoying as that soundl
AS soon as the weather warns and
the green grass comes, we turn the
sheep into an outdoor pen. Every
year they have fresh ground and
every year for the first two weeks
We let them feed only q few hours.
Suddenly changing them from hay
and grain to grass would cause diges-
tive disorders that might kill them.
Right now the lambs are running
about in their pen, jumping over each
other and bucking in their queer,
awkward way. ,-- s

Lambs.

A0WOSs
II YOU fellows and girls could see
our sheep this year, you'd have fun
watching them. The lambs are grow.
ing fast, hut no matter how fast they
grow, they don't forget to play now
and then. Even some Of the old sheep
kick and buck and butt each other
just for fun.
The lambs were born In March and
April. They were little then, with
tightly curled white wool, and they
bleated loud and long when they were
hungry or couldn't find their mothers.
For . week or two they lived on their
mothers milk. When they nursed
they would get down on their knees
and when the mother didn't let down
the milk fast enough they'd butt her
hard.
Before the lambs were two weeks
old every one Of them had been
docked. The operation is done quick
ly and doesn't bother them very much.
II lambs are allowed to keep their
full-length tails. they get very dirty
and may even die as q result, espe-
cially If any burrs get on them.
BY two weeks some Of the lambs
are feeding on grain and chewing
ut fine hay They jump around their
pens in the barn like fleas. Several
times I've seen q lamb jump right on
his mothers back and stand there
until she shook him of.
But all the ewes aren't good moth
ers. Ever 80 often one Of them
refuses to have anything to do with
her lamb, and then we have to tie
her and force her to let the lamb
nurse or else we must find another
eve who can provide enough milk for
the orphan Or we must raise the
lamb on . bottle. This last Is good
deal OF bother, too. When we're late in
getting the bottle Allied with milk the
lamb bleats like sixty. Nothing on

Herb was already clambering out
Of the car. Ronnie followed him,
and together they hurried up the
lane. As they neared the house they
moved as quietly as possible. circling
around behind the leafy bushes to
approach 1t from the rear.
She hasn't got her light on" Herb
whispered anxiously. do you sup
pose she Is all right?"
Ronnie muttered something. He
was staring at the weird old house
as it loomed up before them. Sud-
denly he tensed and clutched Herbs
arm.
"Look" he whispered. "Cn the
roof of the back porch. Do you see
anything?"
"Yes!" Herbs voice was breathless
with alarm. "A black shape. Ron.
ME! It's going in an upstairs win
dow!"
TOGETHER they leaped forward
Herb never even thought of turn
ing on his hashlight. Side by side
they crashed through the bushes and
raced toward the front door Of the
house. There was only one thought
in their minds-they had left Emily
alone, upstairs in. this haunted house,
not 40 feet from the window through
which . strange, black figure was
climbing! --.
They stumbled over the rotting
porch, crashed through the front
door and dashed toward the stairs.
Herb turned on his light then and,
with Ronnie only q step behind him,
pounded up the rickety stairs.
Just as they reached the top they
heard noise. Then something large
and black leaped at them from .
doorway. Herbs light fell from his
hand and crashed back down the
stairs.
And a piercing scream echoed
through the old house.

meet at Dover once each week dur
ing the period when the General AS
sembly is in session. Its object will
be to discuss such proposed legisla-
ton as relates to matters of educa-
ton. to the control and. welfare of
children in their relation to the
State projects affecting public health
and the financial administration OF
the affairs of the State.
In formulating the program and
object of the Committee stress was
laid upon the fact that there is
neither desire nor intention upon
the part of the Committee to inter
fere with either general legislation
or to permit their activities in any
way to become a source of annoy
ance to the members of the General
Assembly. The idea of the Com
mittee. based upon the oft-reiterated
statements of members Of past ses-
sions of the legislature to the effect
that they are invariably anxious to
secure, the considered attitude of
the people of the State upon pend
ing legislation. is one of helpful
ness only through securing the
opinions of the women of the State
through the various organizations,
consolidating these ideas into diff
ferent recommendations and sub
mitting these recommendations for
the consideration of the members
of the General Assembly in connec-
tion with various bills in which
they feel a distinct interest.
At next Tuesdays meeting Mrs.
Frank G. Tallman will discuss Gov.
Bucks message to the General AS
sembly and explain such portions
ii it and the various subjects con-
'idered in the message as may be
in order that the delegates !
nay have clear understanding of |

meetings will be in the nature of an

The committee has advised each
lember of the General Assembly of
S formation and of its desire to CO.
perate in any way possible.
Mrs. A. D. Warner, Sr., is chair
ian of program covering the vari-
us meetings. In addition to Miss
