The ewes should be turned out to graze in pasture or over harvested fields or in exercise lots for a few hours daily during the winter months. Animals enclosed in small lots without sufficient exercise are weak at lambing time. They produce little milk and a high death rate occurs in their lambs. Shelter should furnish a dry bed and be free from drafts. Feed racks, fences and doors Bhould be so arranged that ewes will not crowd each other. This pre caution will prevent many still born lambs.

Change Inauguration Date Every four years an agitation is started for changing the date of Inauguration without result, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Nothing is more unpleasant to endure or more easy to forget than bad weather. It seldom happens that March 4 or 5 is suitable for outdoor ceremonies and generally the conditions are as bad as the winter affords. Who will soon forget the blizzard which ''flared back" when Taft was inducted into office? There is no reason whatever for continuing the present date and there are plenty of good ones for a change to April 30, when Washington was first inaugurat ed. That March 4 was selected in the first place was a mere hazard. When the Congress under the Confederation learned that eleven States had ratified the Constitu tion it passed legislation to carry it into effect The first Wednes day in January was named for casting the electoral votes by the Legislatures; the first Wednes day inFebruary for counting them and the first Wednesday in March for the inauguration. . However, Washington took his time and was more than a month late in reaching New York. An Amendment to the Consti tution could be p?8s?d without any difficulty if there was any preconcerted effort to carry, it out State Jlgricnltnral Notes. It is estimated that 5,000,000 bushels of the 1916 crops of pota toes were in the growers' hands on the first of the year. Pennsylvania ranks fifteenth among the states in the number of horses on the farm in 1916. Mules are growing in popular ity in the State which now ranks twentieth among the States and shows an increase of about 1,000 each year. Pennsylvania stands seventh in the number of dairy cows and the breeding shows Blight increase each year. Pennsylvania ranks twentieth in the number of sheep and twenty second in the number of swine. The York fair showed an at tendance of 215,000 for the past year while Allentown was second with 200,000. There are 2,049 licensed stal lions in Pennsylvania of which 1,012 are registered and 1,037 unregistered. A new dog law is being prepar ed by persons interested in the sheep industry and will shortly introduced in the Legislature. Executor's Notice. Entte of Ell H.

POWELL, 1Mb Bxecutor, flow to Set a Dsn. Washington, D. G, March 5 As the time approaches for the hen to become broody or sit, if care is taken to look into the nest it will be seen that there are a few soft, downy feathers being left there by the hen; also the hen stays longer on the nest when laying at this time, and on being approached will quite like ly remain on the nest making a clucking noise, ruffling her feath ers, and pecking at the intruder. When it is noted that a hen sits on the nest from two to three nights in succession, and that most of the feathers are gone from her breast which should feel hot to the hand, she is ready to be transferred to a nest which has been prepared for her be forehand, according to the poul try specialists of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture. The normal temperature of a hen is from 106 degrees to 107 degrees F., which varies slightly during incubation. Dust the hen thoroughly with insect powder, and in applying the powder hold the hen by the feet, the head down, working the powder well into the feathers, giving special attention to regions around the vent and under the wings. The powder should also be sprinkled in the nest The nest should be in some quiet out-of-the-way place, where the sitting hen will not be dis turbed. Move her from the reg ular laying nest at night and handle her carefully in doing so. Put a china egg or two in the nest where she is to sit, and place a board over the opening so .Ut she can not get off. To- war i the evening of the second day ( iletly go in where she is sitting, ave some feed and wa ter, remce the board 'from the front or top of the nest and let the hen come off when she is ready. Should she return to the nest after feeding, remove the china egg or eggs and put under those that are to be incubated. If the nests are slightly darkened the hens are less likely to become restless. At hatching time they should be confined and and not be disturbed until the hatch is completed, unless they become restless, when it may be best to remove the chicks that are hatch ed first In cool weather it is best not to put more than 10 eggs under a hen, while later in the spring one can put 12 to 15, ac cording to the size of the hen. Finding; Help. From many employing centers the cry goes up for help. And this is the off time of year before the demand from the farms and construction and highway jobs has set in. What will happen when the farmers begin to howl for harvest hands? In the newspapers it is a nor mal thing for Situations Wanted ads to outnumber the Help Want eds. Probably the proportion would be the other way now. In one metropolitan newspaper the other day, it was noted that there were 3i columns of Help Wanted notices, and only one half a col umn of Situations Wanted. Many a manufacturer feels at his wit's end, in a time like this to get the needed help, to turn out his orders. Of course the only thing to do is to advertise. There are invariably plenty of men who are looking for better jobs. When a man accents a better opportunity in that way, his former employer of course becomes the goat and there is nothing for him in his turn to try advertising and attract some one from a still lower position. It is a time when working people can advance rapidly and when new openings are constantly showing themselves. The newspapers is a great m ployment bureau. If it were not for. the service of the Help Wanted column, industry would be prostrated in a time like this. . No able bodied man has any excuse for not working to-day. Also it is a great chance for wo men to break into a new line of industry. Many unskilled labor ers are getting chances to try out work that would never be given them in less rushed times. Meanwhile let no employer be discouraged and say that he can't deliver his goods because he can't get help. The newspa per is ready to tell his message far and wide. Pot Bin to fork. In these days when help is so scarce, everyone should go to work. When any strain in our population is non-productive, something is wrong. These re marks were suggested by reading an address by Gen. R. H. Pratt for 25 years head of thetCarlisle school for Indians. Gen. Pratt condemns the United States' pol icy of holding the Indians on res ervations and consequently pau perizing them. , This speaker presented figures showing earnings of 25,000 Indi ans as averaging less than $4.00 a month. Thousands of them were fiddling away on little crafts like baskets and bead making. Meanwhile the farms are crying aloud for workers. The Red man has a reputation of indolence. Many employers would say they would not have a man with Indian blood around the place. Yet many thousands of them are doing well as stock raisers, which is not an idle and easy occupation. One of the principal' reasons for high cost foods is the scarci ty of workers and the high cost of farm help. The Indian popu lation is not large. But if al these semi-idle Indians of whom Gen. Pratt speaks could have been trained for real work, it would have helped labor short age in several states. The Indian was trained to en dure sharp pain without flinch ing. A creature who can bear suffering ought to be able to work, and could if he were train ed to it Furthermore, the In dian race was never enslaved or reduced to servitude. That indi cated a certain resolute and iron quality in the blood. It is no wonder the Indian would not work when so many times he was simply kept on a reservation and fed on government rations. The idleness was physically enfeebl ing, and was one reason why the race has not held its own in pop ulation. The manv Indiana who already have learned to live normal wnrkintr liven will nn doubt show themselves able to increase and multiply and furn- isn their snare of industrious la labor. Leisure Time. Leisure time is a comparative ly modern invention. The old timers never had any leisure. They worked longer hours than we do. Factories used to run 11 and 12 hours a day. Farmers would get up at four and work until dark. Clerks, merchants, and pro fessional men used to run their own back yard gardens. Many men receiving larger incomes were not averse to raising pota toes and beans in the home lot They had become accustomed to counting the pennies, and besides they thought the active worli was good for their health. To-day working hours are grad ually growing shorter. Many people get Saturday afternoons. The eight hour and the nine hour days are becoming common. There are a great many people who can have their evening meal promptly at six o'clock, leaving a good long evening free for oth er pursuits. Hundreds of thousands of these people, whose fathers as afore said used to take up the shovel and the hoe at that hour, are now out spinning around in their automobiles. Many of the young people are simply promenading up and down the town, throng ing the refreshment stands and eyeing the other sex. This great change in the habits of our people is not wholly a de cadence. It does mark a decline of that old resolute spirit that founded fortunes and developed savings bank accounts. But leisure time is valuable if used well. The hours an indoor work er spends on out door sport are often the most valuable of the twenty, four. Simply drifting around the streets develops no muscles and lays no foundations for future success. If many people this summer would spend it in rais ing potatoes they would stand a better chance of business success. But whether spent in labor or sport some definiteend of achieve ment or physical advance ment ought to be held in view. Trespass notices for sale at the News office 6 for a quarter.
