A LOST INDEPENDENCE.

The tendency of the times is toward
concentration Of effort and the division
and specializing of all forms of labor.
More people are learning how to do
one thing only than ser before.
The system applies not only to the
city, but the farms as well. The meat
supplies for the farm are shipped to
the city packing house on the hoof and
bought back OF the local dealer by the
man who produced the meat for his
own use, this because he has never
learned how to kill and cure his own
meats. This is always a losing game
The butter is now all made at the
creamery. which is good thing, espe
cially for the women on the farm. Al
the clothing for the men and boys and

A friend asks what is the value OF
the feed other than grain which secs
to the making Of a hundredweight Of
meat on our western farms. the pas
ture, the hay, the fodder, the general
roughage picked up by the animal
while In a growing condition-in 9th.
er words, what are the bypr0ducts of
the farm really worth? This is not an
easy question 10 answer, SO much de
pends upon the animal and the man
ner IN which Il Is cared for Right here
we VIII say that the grass products Of
the farm, which term shall here be
used 70 include pasture, hay, forage Of
all kinds, such as stalks, rape, clover,
alfalfa, straw, etc. are not utilized to
the extent they should be in the pro-
duction Of our meats They are the
cheapest foods produced on the farm
and under better methods of utilizing
them by the silo, summer soillng and
alternating and successive crops of
green food are capable of greatly low
ering the first cost of all meat and
dairy products. Too much Of the things
sold from the farms are made from the
high priced grains. The first hundred
pounds Of every hog sold should be
wholly grass--a clover, blue grass, al
falfa or rape-product, and half. of the
next hundred pounds should be also, in
stead of which we find it a general Gus
tome to stuff the pig with corn from the
time he is two months old until he is
ready for the butcher, when the other
method would insure a healthier hog
and make cheaper and better meat As
things go on the stock farms today il
is not far wrong to assume, for that is
all that can be done anyway, that the
grass products Of the farm should be
credited with about one-half Of the
value Of all meat produced.

Under the common type of fences on
the farm the keeping of sheep Is at
tended with not little bother, as they
have little or no respect for the ordina-
ry three wire fence. Thus it comes
that many man VIII not attempt to
keep any sheep who would be glad to
do So Now, here is way in which
it may be done without any expense
or bother and all the benefit of having
sheep on the farm be secured. Let a
dozen or such matter of neighbor
farmers organize a copartnership and
put in money enough 10 buy, say, 200
ewes, Put this flock Of sheep in
charge of herder, who may easily
be some old man unable to do hard
work. Furnish him q collie dog and
let him Craze these sheep from farm
to farm and on the roadsldes, stubble
fields and waste places wherever
weeds grow, herding them at night at
some central yard, the flock to be ell
ther divided up when winter comes or
be wintered at some central point to-
gether. The result of such a scheme
would be fresh mutton for the men,
bers of the company all summer long,
a good profit on the clip of wool
and an increase in stock which would
insure good dividend, and, more than
this, each farm would enjoy the bene-
ft Of the sheep as weed dcstroyers, q
matter of itself which would more
than pay good interest, There is moth
Ing far fetched or lmpracticable about
this plan, and 1t Is one well worthy OF
a trial.
