Lloyd George Spirit of Grim Deter-
mination Seizes Nation.
Herbert H. White, business man-
ager of the Harvard Knit in France
and England, has just returned hone,
after two busy months, and, in an
interview in the Boston Globe, he
says that the war in Europe was
never more serious for all concerned
in it than at the present moment. A.
great change has come over Great
Britain the past few months, and es-
pecially since Lloyd George and the
Committee of Five took charge of
the war.

George took office the people of
Great Britain have •been made to

Sheep will stand a lot of cold
weather, but draughts are as danger-
ous to them as to other animals.
Do not crowd the flock. Exercise
is very essential to the ewes and the
coming lambs.
Feed regularly, and be quiet and
kind to the flock. - Sheep appreciate
a kind, well -modulated voice.
Provide for plenty of clean fresh
water in the sheep barn. Give it
fresh every day.
Are yours just sheep, or the very
belt you can find?
When a sheep does not chew its cud
or eat, you have a sick sheep on your
hands. Good treatment is to take
ee the sheep out of the flock, put it In
a sunny yard or pen and give it a
chance to drink what pure water it
will. Don't urge it to eat, and be
patient.
The man who lets bis flock get e

The plot selected for the garden
should be well drained, and must not
be shaded to any extent, Drainage
takes away surface water rapidly, and
keeps the soil water away from the
surface, thereby allowing the toots to
grow deep and the air to enter the
soil and aid in decomposing it. Fertil-
ity is another most important feature.
The need for fertilizer is shown by
low growth and pale color in the

Crops are often lost through the
