Many people seem to forget that pigs need pasture. It is easier to keep a horse's shoulders In good shape than it is to make ttiein so after they have once been sore. A small fat sbeep is better than a large thin one. It Is better to confine hogs in a small lot when fattening, for in a large one they will run off fat as fast as they put it on. Remember that the horses get wild for a drink of water when working, the same as you do. When the man takes a drink let him give the horses a few swal- lows also. MORE SHEEP ARE NEEDED ON FARMS By FRANK KLEINHEINZ, Wisconsin College of Agriculture. Instead of the low prices paid for mutton and wool several years ago a premium is now paid for both prod ucts. Recently last year's lambs were sold for 12 cents per pound (live weight) on the Chicago market. Spring lambs have been selling for from 14 to 17 cents a pound live weight Wool is selling at tuty time for 32 to 34 cents a pound, the highest price paid since the civil war. These certainly are good prices, and there is promise that these products will continue to remain high on account of the shortage of both. Meat packers are forced to pay high prices for live mutton and lamb be cause of Its scarcity. Woolen manu facturers likewise are paying high prices for wool because of the shortage. Wool is a necessity. A prominent sheepman in addressing a largo audience recently made the statement that sheep need a little more intelligent care than some of the other classes of live stock, but when farmers In Wisconsin and other states have fa miliarized themselves with the proper care of sheep, just as the man with the dairy cow and the woman with the The Shropshire sheep may be call ed a dual purpose animal as It pro duces a fine mutton carcass as well as a fair fleece of high grade wool. This breed Is essentially one for the farm flock, while at the same time It la hardy and a good rustler for the ranges. The sheep shown la a Shropshire. chickens have done, then sheep hus bandry can be carried on not only more extensively, but also with much great er success and profit Sheep should again be raised on our Wisconsin farms. One of the directors of a county furm in this state says that last year they realized a net profit of a little over $2,000 on ISO breeding ewes. The land on which these sheep were grazed was rough and had been purchased for $20 an acre. This man, who Is absolutely trustworthy, after figuring the cost of establishing the flock and of the feed and labor, stated that they had derived from the sheep a much higher net profit than from any other class of live stock kept on that farm. Another farmer who lives in a section of high priced land in south western Wisconsin purchased twenty four common grade ewes In the fall of 1014. Those ewes netted him $234 in a year for lambs and wool. He stated that their entire feed had been good pasture during the grass season and good clover hay in winter. No grain or other feed was used. lie was out try ing to buy more sheep and said that he wns deriving far more profit from bis sheep than from his cattle and hogs. Although sheep have greatly advanc ed In price in the last few years, still a man can start a flock with a reason able amount of money. The fall is the best time to purchase. At this time the western range men dispose of their surplus breeding ewes, and one can se cure a small flock of from fifteen to twenty-five head without making a large Investment Sheep multiply fast, and by the use of a good pure bred rnin of any of the lending mutton breeds a fine flock will soon be estub llshed. A rum In many cases can be used by two farmers Qi small flocks In ouo or two breeding seasons, thereby lowering the cost of the ram. Self Fed Hogs.

A MAN IN A BOAT By ETHEL HOLMES Among the reasons for establishing the capital of the eastern Itoman em plre at Constantinople it was first call ed Byzantium was that the site was very beautiful. The Bosporus, on which It is built, connecting the Black sea aud the sea of Marmora, is one of the most attractive streams of water in the world. All maimer of craft are sailing and steaming back und forth and across it, while the shore on el ther side, especially the European, is lined with attractive buildings On the European side of the Bospo rus the side on which Constantinople is built a portion of the water front Is a park or garden free to the public One day a Turkish woman, whose daughter was in delicate heulth aud needed the air, took the girl to this place and, seating themselves uear the margin of the water, looked out on the many boats plying back nud forth across it They were the only persons about, and any one passing on the walk behind them could only see their backs, their faces being turned to the water. "Lift your veil, dear," said the moth er, "that you may get the benefit of the breeze. No boats are passlpg near us, and your face cannot be seen." The girl lifted her veil and, resting her head against her mother's shoulder, enjoyed the constantly moving pano rama and the breeze cooled by the wa ter. At times she closed her eyes for a brief nap, and her mother fell asleep. The daughter, after one of her cat naps, on opening her eyes found herself look ing straight into the face of a young man sitting In a boat not a dozen yards from her. And the young man was gazing upon her rapturously. Margaritza, the young lady, instantly dropped her veil, but not soon enough to shut out the effect of that hand some, youthful face, those admiring eyes. The young man, who had ap proached without being seen or heard and had rested on his oars, gazing on the dazzling beauty, pulled away, but not so far but that he could keep the two women In sight Margaritza saw him far out in the stream and knew that to see her, even at a distance, was a pleasure to him. In time the girl awakened her moth er. They arose and walked away, for a time keeping on the shore westward, then, turning inland, ascending a rise in the ground to the house in which they lived. The man In the boat could observe them from the water and saw them go into their home. It was not long after this that a proposition of marriage was made for Margaritza's hand. , Marriages in Tur key are made by the parents of the young persons, who are not permitted to see each other until after the wed ding. Margaritza, from whose mental vision the young man who had seen her from Ills boat had never been dimmed, was filled with grief at this application. The social standing of the suitor and his financial condition were all that could be desired, and bis suit was met with favor by Margarit za's parents, so there was nothing for her to do but yield to her fate. And yet, though there was something dreadful In her marrying with the memory of the vision she had seen constantly before her, why should she not do so? She bad no reason to sup pose she would ever again Bee the man who through that brief vision had cap tured her heart And even If she did he would not see her, for it Is not per mitted In Turkey that a man shall look upon the face of any woman except his wife or one of his own blood. While the preparations for the wed ding were being made Margaritza showed no interest in them. On the coutrary, she grew thin and pale. Her heulth, which after her visit to the bank of the Bosporus seemed to im prove, was ngoln delicate. Her mother frequently took her to the river, but without the previous effect One day Margaritza while there saw the young man she had seen before go by in his boat, but since all Turkish women, be ing veiled, look alike, he did not recog nize her. How she longed to lift ber veil and call to hlru! But even had her mother not been present and now awoKe she would not have done so, for this for a Moslem girl would have been Immodest And what pained her was that while she was plunged In grief on account of him be seemed contented and happy. The day of the wedding finally came around. The wedding guests were as sembled In the groom's house not at the bride's house, as In Christian coun tries and were looking over the wed ding presents while waiting for the bride to be brought Then It was an nouueed that she wns at the door. The groom passed out to receive her, the guests lining up within, leaving a pas sage for thn pair to enter. Margaritza stood veiled waiting for her betrothed who In another mo ment emerged from his bouse with a look of supreme happiness on bis face. And behind Margnrltzn's veil that look was repeuted, though more Intense In contrast with the dolorous expression that it replaced. For the groom's face was uncovered, and she recognized the man in the bout Having watched to see where she weut after she had left the bank of the ilosxrus, be bad only to Inquire who she was and make a proposition for her hand. Hut he dared not reveal him self us one who had seen the face of the girl he proposed for. This would In Turkey have created a scandal and would likely have resulted in his ai plication being refused. RHEUMATISM ARRESTED Many people suffer the tortures "of lame muscles and stiffened joints because of impurities in the blood, and each suc ceeding attack seems more acute until rheumatism has invaded the whole system. To arrest rheumatism it is quite as im portant to improve your general health as to purify your blood, nd the cod liver oil in Scott's Emulsion is nature'sgreat blood maker, while its medicinal nourishment strengthens the organs to expel the impurities and upbuild your stretigth. bcott's Emulsion is helping thousands everyday who could not 6nd other relief.

SEVERAL ARE LUCKY Clackamas County Folk Draw Col ville Indian Land The, great governmental land lot tery at Colville, Wash., is over, much to the satisfaction of at least six Clackamas county men who drew lucky numbers, although none of them was near the top of the list. The fortunate few are Thomas Evans of Oregon City; Robert J. Cockrell of Molalla; John C. Steenks, of Cherryville, Edward Richardson and C. P. Henkle of Oregon City, and Cyril Grey, of Sandy. A score or more of Clackamas coun ty residents filed among several hun dred from the state of Oregon. A Spokane man drew the first number and gets his choice' of the valuable land. Clarence E. Ditmer, of Gervais, and Joseph Wilson, of Aurora, were also among the lucky few from this vi cinity. The Colville drawing was one of the last of the famous governmental divisions of Indian reservation lands. For that reason as much as any other, people flocked to filing places from all parts of the United States. Those from Clackamas county re port a great scene at the drawing. Great crowds, containing American citizens of all nationalities, filed and attended the drawing. A number of these foreigners were successful in the contest. Some of the Colville lands are in 40-acre tracts, but for the most part it is in 160-acre pieces." The first person to draw has his choice of the plots and the best tract in the Col ville reservation is said to be worth close to $15,000. CADY MAY GO All Agree Flax Experiment Can Be Made Financial Success J. C. Cady, superintendent of the Oregon penitentiary flax plant, faces probable removal by the State Board of control as soon as the insurance on the flax lost in the recent prison fire Is adjusted. This became apparent late last week at a meeting of the Board of control, when State Treasurer Kay announced that he stood with Secre tary Olcott for a change in superin tendent of the flax plant. Mr. Cady's successor probably will not be chos en immediately, as the flax plant will not begin operations on the new crop for several months. The crop is now being harvested by convicts in charge of prison officials. At the meeting Governor Withy- combe said that he still had confidence in Mr. Cady's ability. He charged that the superintendent had not had the cooperation of R. B. Goodin, sec retary of the Board of control, and officials at the penitentiary. Despite this, he declared he was convinced the flax industry could be made a success. Other members of the board agreed with the executive in this last state ment. How's This?
