THE FLOCK MASTER

Corn should seldom If ever be used
as feed for the breeding flock, says an
Iowa breeuer in Wool Markets and
Sheep. Sometimes a very small allow
ance of fodder with the corn left on
does well enough in the winter, But
for the main feed we prefer clover in
the racks and oats and bran half and
half by weight as trough feed. Roots
are excellent for n period both before
and after lambing. A very large crop
of rutabagas can be grown easily on
small patch of ground. We believe
every sheep owner should at least
raise a few bushels per sheep for the
winter. Corn is all right to use as part
of the ration for fattening stock but
even for rams which are being fitted
for sale we do not like too much corn.
1t does not make them as strong for
the breeding season as would oats and
oilcake.
Keep the Flock In Good Condition.
If the wool product is to be valuable
an even condition must be kept up.
Sheep starved in winter will have
weak spots in their wool the next
spring.
Profit In Pure Bred Sheep.
The Wisconsin experiment station
has completed an experiment which
proved that well bred lambs are much
more profitable to feed than scrubs.
| High grade Shropshires and scrubs
were given the same feed. The Shrops
made net profit of SLIP per head, the
scrubs 90 cents per head.
| Shelter the Flock.
| Much attention must be given to the
sheltering of the flock. Some breeders
do lay much stress upon shelter We
think it Is very important. We prefer
a closed shed. with plenty of ventila
tion. 1t also must be kept clean and
well bedded. We never Intentionally
let our sheep get wet. Sometimes they
do in warm weather. but 1t would be d
grievance to us to have them stay out
in cold rain. 1t certainly runs down
their system in condition.-Cor. Woo
Markets and Sheep.
Feed For Strength.
The wise shepherd feeds young breed
ing stock with the idea of developing
bone and muscle and not merely fat.
The Care of Sheep.
Be as regular as possible in caring
for the flock. No other farm anima
knows as well as the sheep when irreg
ular care Is given them
Profit In Sheep.
There are three ways of disposinS o
sheep in seeking for profit outside o
what may be obtained for wool. say
the Farm Home. The first is breeding
for fat lambs and selling direct from
the mother, feeding as largely as posi-
BILE on succulent and milk promotini
food, so that the growth of the youni
animal will be quick and without check
Another Is the breeding of sheep to b
sold in store condition, either as lamb
or at more mature age to fatter
The third Is in feeding off full grow
muttons for the butcher. Tie latte
plan has the additional advantage o
adding largely to the fertility of til
farm.
The Valuable Sheep.
Sheep will get more sustenance fror
poor land and do the land more goo
ct the same time than any other stoc
ele farmer cGn have.

Keen the PigH Growing

There is no use in trying to econo-
mize in the feed of hogs during the
winter. The man who only cares to get
them through alive wastes all lie feeds
and has only stunted pigs instead of
the thrifty ones he put up in the fall.

OF FRAUD
William Brieter Trades Home for
Bogus Title to a
Farm.
ANOTHER IN POSSESSION
Out Several Thousand Dollars THROUGH
Manipulations of Smooth
Agent.

Through the operations of land
agents William Brieter. who formerly
resided at ZIG Eleventh street. has
apparently been defrauded out of all
his property valued at several thous.
ands of dollars. Mr.. Brieter with his
wife and son, Kurth, and daughter
and husband. Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Han
son, recently went TO the vicinity OF
Aberdeen. S. D. to take possession of a
farm for which they had traded their
property in this city to a western land
company. Now word has come from
them that when they arrived they
found another in possession of the
property and discovered that their title
was of no value. They are contemplat-
ing return to Rock Island
The alleged deal by which they lost
their home was negotiated by non
resident agent of the company. Mr.
Brieter went to Aberdeen and after
viewing the land decided to accept
the terms of the deed. When it came
to signing the papers Attorney Albert
Huber, of Davenport. was consulted
and that gentleman after Investigate
ing. states he told Mr.. Brieter that he
was satisfied it would be unwise to
close with the company. In speaking
to an Argus representative today Mr..
Huber said:
Three Separate Companies.
There are three land companies
with headquarters at ST Paul. Mr.
Brieter was required to deal with all
three corporations in transacting the
business and it seemed to me thai
there were too many loophOles foI
fraud. Therefore | advised Mr.. Brie-
ter to keep out of the deal on the terms
proposed
But Mr.. Brieter was offered changes
in certain features 10 which
objection had been made and finally
was persuaded to sign papers.
From what can be learned it is prob
able that he had no recourse and that
his old home is now in the hands of a
third party who under the law cannot
be required to make amends.
