The Day of Unlimited Ranges PAS

The Day of UnIimfted Ranges Pass
ing Away-ProGf In Small F1ociss.
Regarding the sheep industry in the
United States W. j. Battison in an an
nual review Of the subject for the Ma
tional Association Of Wool Manufac-
turers says the conditions indicate that
the future prosperity Of the American
sheep industry lies in a gradual but
radical change IN the manner in which
1t is conducted. The day Of extreme
Iy large nocks on unlimited ranges IL
beginning TO pass away. The sheep
viii have to be kept In smaller focks
and those adapted 10 closer confine-
ment substituted for breeds which are
dependent on wide range for proftn-
ble existence.
Surprise has often been expressed
that farmers in the eastern and mid
die states do not pay more attention
TO sheep. The cause appears TO be in
great measure the same M that
which prevents the growing Of carpet
woods IN this country. Other branches
OF agriculture require less care and cx-
ertion or yield better returns for capt.
tai invested and time and labor ex-
pended.
Notwithstanding the Disadvantages,
there Ia still good profit TO be made
from sheep, and a tendency IL noted Ia
New York state toward an increase In
the number Of small fiocks on farms IN
heretofore exclusive dairy sections, the
sheep being kept partially for the pur-
pose Of destroying weeds In the pas
turc.

Curious Recipes That Were In Use
Ia the Fifteenth Century.
An old volume, the "Noble Boke OF
Cookery, flor u Pryncc HouBs0ldc or eny
other Estately Hous3olde," written
about the year 1867, contains many
rare and curious recipes In use In those
days not only for ordinary dishes, but
those to be eaten ON fast and fish days.
It Is curious IN reading this cookery
book TO find that there are the same
birds, beasts and fishes, the same
ooursc8 and sometimes the same names
% dishes AZ In modern one, but, al
though the names are often the same,
the ingredients ana the preparation
are very different. For instance, their
blanche mango was composed OF
lamprcy or other fish. and their Gus
tards contained fresh pork minced
small.
Here IL one recipe from the book:
"ro make mon amy take and boil cows
cream and when 1t IL boiled set II aside
and let II cool. Then take COW curds
and press out the whey; then bruise
them In mortar and cast them in the
pot TO the cream and boil together.
Put thereto sugar. honey and may but
ter, color IL up with saffron aud In the
setting down put In yollB Of eggs well
beaten ana do away the strain and let
the potage be standing; then arrange
Il in dishes ana plant therein flowers
Of violets ana serve IT,"
Some Of the recipes In this quaint old
book were intended specially for a
''lorde'g" table For instance, n pike
was 10 be served whole 10 "a lorde,'
but cut IN pieces for the "commonaltc." "
Cabbagcs were TO be thickencd with
grated bread for ordinary people. but
eeryed with yollss Of eggs for ''lorde. "
Tie dishes nj this time used nt table
were either gold or silver for great oc-
casions aud wooden trenchcrB and plat
tere for ordinary use. II was not til
the time or Queen Elizabeth That
plates OF metal and enrthenware began
10 be generally used instead or wood.

around the alfalfa plant to which it at
taches itself The dodder root soon
dies, while the stems continue to grow
and thrive on the juices Of the alfalfa
until It has matured seed or the alfalfa
has been killed
Dodder occurs over most Of the area
where alfalfa is grown, except in the
extreme northern states.
When once established, it is very de-
structiye and difficult TO get rid Of.
The only effectual way to combat it is
to NOW the infested area and burn the
cutting. There are two species, which
are about equally common and destruc-
tive to alfalfa and red clover. The
seeds Of these are Of nearly the same
size and are not easily distinguished.
The larger dodder seeds approach the
smaller alfalfa seeds in size and there
fore are difficult to clean out thorough
ly. In buying alfalfa seed it Is essen
tlal TO know that it Is free from dodder
seed.

WEEDS IN ALFALFA.

Dodder Very DeStructive-The Most
Enecfual Way to Combat 1t.
The best grades of alfalfa seed con
tain comparatively few weed seeds.
The low grades, however, which are
mostly screenings, often carry large
numbers of weed seeds, as is the case
with a sample which contained 6.S per
cent of weed seeds, or nearly $500
per pound, of which 5.490 were dodder
Dodder is the weed most destructive
to the alfalfa plant. 1t is parasite,
having no leaves. and appears as tan
clc,l mass of fine yellow stems winding
about and clinging to other plants.
The seed terminates in the ground and
sends up slender stem that winds
