Do not wait too long In the spring
fcefore shearing. There Is nothing
.gained and It Is a question whether
or not the sheep do as well carrying
a heavy fleece after the weather be-
gins to warm up as without It.
It will do no harm to shear just as
Boon as the heavy frosts of spring
are over, bi/t of course a dry. warm
shelter must be ready for the sheep
at night
This shelter should always be left
open In the day time so the sheep can

tion and Properly Tied With the

run Into It In case of rain. A wet
sheep is always In danger of taking
cold, and "snuffles" are harmful.
The sheep should always be driven
to shelter when a rain comes on, al-
though If the shed Is convenient to
the pasture they will generally go
Into It of their own will, particularly,
when a gusty, heavy wind and rain-
storm comes on.
Lambs are silly pates and must al-
ways be shown things, if they are
made to enter the shed with the moth-
er In time of storm they will soon
learn to do so always, but they must
be watched or else they may wander
about In the rain and get soaked and
chilled and die.
If the Bheep carry heavy coats dur-
ing the rainy spring months they are
likely to become soaked, because they
will often stay out till they feel the
water on their hides. Once a heavy
i fleece Is thoroughly wet through, It
takes a long time to dry out, particu-
larly In cloudy weather.
This Is one reason why sheep
should be sheared early as possible.
I On the home farm of the writer we
j always sheared our sheep in March
| and with good results, both as to
■ the wool crop and the health of the
| sheep. We used the old-fashioned
| spring, sharp-pointed shears, but the
hand machines of today are much bet-
i ter. Some men who go about from
| farm to farm shearing sheep still use
II the old hand shears and an expert will
do very well with them, but the ama-
teur will make sad work of the shear-
ing and clip many a piece from the
animal's skin.
With a hand machine a small flock
can be quickly disposed of by the
owner of the flock, who should al-
ways do his own shearing. For large
flocks the power machines In the
hands of experts do the work rapidly
and well.
Ban Francisco, January 6, 1914.
Mr. A. de la Torre, Jr., formerly U.
(5. 1 nspertor of Immigration, Port of San
Francisco, writes from No. 1111 Powell
St., San Francisco, Cal.: "I take (treat
pleasure in recommending your great na-
tional catarrh cure, Peruna, as the best
I ever used. I sincerely express my thanks
to you for the health which I now enjoy.
It has done me and a number of my
friends good, and I can assure you that I
shall take every opportunity to speak
in favor of what I consider to be the
best remedy for catarrh in existence to-
day."
COULDN'T STAND FOR DEFEAT
According to London Newspaper, Col-
ored Opponent of Irishman Had
Little Chance.
A brawny son of Erin was acting as
time keeper In a rough and-ready flght
between his mate and a negro In South
America. In the course of the flght a
well-planted blow sent the Irishman
earthwards.
"One!" cried the time keeper, in a
tense voice, watch In hand.
"Two!" he murmured hoarsely. "Pat.
ye fool, git up! There's only eight sec-
onds left!"
The inert mass never moved.
"Three!" shouted the time keeper
desperately. "Think of yer old mother,
Pat! What's It she'd be saying to ye,
'Bate the nigger!'"
Slowly he called up to eight, buck-
ing up his mate with patriotic ejacula-
tions between each long second. W hen
eight had been called Pat slowly stag-
gered to his feet, and by a mighty
lunge succeeded in knocking down his
black opponent
Desperately fearing lest he should
revive in time, the time keeper set off
at top speed:
"One, two, three, four, five, and
five s ten! Ye're out. ye black villain!"

Won Distinction In Three Wars.
Gen. John B. S. Todd, a soldier of
three wars and governor of Dakota
territory, was born one hundred years
ago in Lexington, Ky. In his youth he
removed with his parents to Illinois.
He graduated from West Point in 183t
and for five years thereafter was ac-
tively engaged in the Florida war.
During the war with Mexico he distin-
guished himself in the siege of Vera
Cruz and at the battle of Cerro Gordo.
Subsequently he took part in the Sioux
expedition in the northwest. For a
short period in the early part of the
Civil war he commanded a division of
the Army of the Tennessee. After
quitting the army he served as a Da-
kota delegate in congress and was
governor of the territory from 18G9 to
1871. General Todd died in Yankton
in 1872.
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
The federal horticultural board has
Intercepted a shipment of cotton seed
from Egypt which was found to be
heavily infested by the so-called pink
boll worm. This is a result of the
quarantine against cotton seed which
was promulgated by the board some
time ago. The seed, which was in-
tended for planting In Arizona, ar-
rived in Boston, where the customs
officials, under instructions from the
board, obtained possession of it.
The pink boll worm is the most seri-
ous cotton pest in Egypt. In that
country it does as much damage as
the boll weevil in this country. The
possibility of reducing the damage it
causes has been considered by gov-
ernmental commissions and confer-
ences for several years. Like the
boll weevil, it works for the greater
part of its existence within the bolls.
Frequently it makes its way inside
the seeds, where it can live for an
indefinite time. In fact, in experi-
ments performed in the ministry of
agriculture in Egypt it was found
that the worms have lived for as long
as seven months In seed in storage. I

PEANUTS AS SOIL IMPROVER
Goobers Do Well on Any Dry Soli and
Are Easily Cultivated—Hogs
Are Fond of Them.
We have raised Spanish peanuts for
hogs for the last seven years. Last
season we had 18 acres and the last of
September turned in 94 head of hogs,
large and small. I would rather have
one acre of peanuts for hogs than two
acres of corn. With corn and peanuts
in the same field hogs will eat the
"goobers" first, writes J. E. Sammon
of Sherman, Tex., in the Missouri Val-
ley Farmer. The goobers do well on
any dry soil, and are easily cultivated.
If half the vines are covered in culti-
vating all the better. Last year we
gathered half an acre by measurement
for seed, and when cured and dry they
weighed out 42 bushels, 30 pounds to
the bushel. The hay from the vines
is superior to alfalfa if Baved. If the
nuts are "hogged" down, the soil is im-
proved each year. The roots of the
peanut gathers bacteria, which form
nitrates in the soil, although not to
the same extent as stock peas. Pea-
nuts are a valuable crop in thin soils
and should be experimented with in
the corn belt if hogs are kept to gather
them.
Keep Vigorous Brood Sow.
As a rule the old brood sow should
h„ kept as long as she remains vig-
orous she knows better how to raise
suckling pigs than the younger
moths?*.

QifontioTb
Is it possible there is a woman in this country who con-
tinues to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham s Vege-
table Compound a trial after all the evidence that is con-
tinually being published, which proves beyond contradic-
tion that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffer-
ing among women than any other one medicine in the world?
We have published in the newspapers of the United Statc3
more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been pub-
lished in the interest of any other medicine for women—
and every year we publish many new testimonials, all gen-
uine and true. Here are three never before published:

was called as a witness in the Belfast

The old fellow was a little excited, |
however, by being in court, and instead
of following the words of the clerk,

words of the well-known hymn, "O

MOTHER GOMES TO
DAUGHTER'S RESCUE
When, Daughter Thought, Every
Avenue of Escape Closed,
Mother Came to Rescue.
Louisville, Ala.—-In referring to her
recent troubles, Mrs. Bessie E. Brtice,
of this town, Bays: "After childbirth,
I suffered greatly with wasting, and
various womanly troubles, and was in
bed for six weeks. Half the time, I
could not move, only when I was
turned over by some one. Oh! how 1
suffered, no one knows.
1 was told that I would have to go
through an operation, but at the time
of the operation, I was too weak to
undergo it, and I decided there was no
chance for me.
As a last resort, my mother advised
me to try Cardui, the woman's tonic,
and my husband bought me a bottle.
I could tell from the first that it was
doing me good, and by the time I had
taken the first bottle, I could stand on
my feet. I got another bottle, and
before I had taken it up. I was just
about well. The pains all stopped,
and in a short while I was able to do
my work.
I know that Cardui saved my life,
and I would not be without it in the
house. I almost waited too long, and
I advise all suffering women not to
wait, but to begin taking Cardui at
once."
