SWEEP GROWING.
Where They Can Be Raised to Best
Advantage.

From the theoretical standpoint
sheep can be successfully raised in
every state OF the American union
and especially In the south. AS
matter Of fact however. sheep are
raised In focks of thousands princi-
pally in the semi-arid states Of the
west, while most OF the sheep kept
In the humid states are in small
fiocks. The writer OF this was talk
ing with a sheep rancher from the
west who much wanted to move his
sheep breeding operations to the sun
ny south" But after investigation he
came to the conclusion that the plains
OF the west we're better adapted to
sheep raising than the south, on ac-
count of the smaller rainfall. Where
the rainfall is considerable the sheep
have to be provided with shelter and
looked after more carefully than else
where. In the west the sheep can
be allowed to stay out the year
around. In the summer the rain is
not constant enough TO injure them.
and in the winter the snow is not
deep enough to cover the grass on
which they feed.
This gives the advantage to the
ranges, so far as the raising Of large
flocks Of sheep is concerned: that is.
the raising Of sheep by the thousands.
But in other parts of the country
sheep can still be raised 70 great ad-
vantage. especially in the rougher sec
tons Of the country. In recent trip
through New England ! noticed that
In much Of that country the pastures
have grown up TO brush to such an
extent that they now produce less
grass than they used to, could not
help thinking how admirably these
pastures were adapted to sheep and
how the sheep would have kept down
the shrubs and brush. / expect to see
the time when those hillsides. now
growing up to arboreSl growths. will
be covered with hocks of grazing
sheep.
do not expect to see sheep ever
largely on the farms where the
soil is a rich prairie loan and all cul-
tivabIe. says a writer in Farmers Re
view. Such land is adapted to more
intensive farming than is indicated by
the grazing Of sheep. But the wild
wastes that are increasing in some
parts Of the country can be made

DR.. Bashford. while showing me over
the laboratory. said: Recovery from
experimental cancer is common
Growth stops and tumors disappear.
By following up Investigations indi-
Gated last year Il has been possible to
protect mice from all the consequences
Of inoculating them with cancer. This
has been done In four different ways.
Protection may be conferred In so high
q degree that whereas out OF 100 ordi-
nary mice 30 develop tumors after
incubation. In the protected mice no
tumors at all developed. The protect
ing influence acss by way OF the body
fluids, and the body fluids of some
protected mice. when injected into
mice with experimental cancer. have
retarded the growth OF well-deyeloped
tumors."
When asked II he was able to cure
cancer definitely DR.. Bashford stated
that the study OF the methods of pro
lection were still in progress and
pointed out that all he had accom-
plished so far was TO render healthy
mice unsuitable for the growth Of ex-
perimental cancer.
1T Is not yet possible" continued
the scientist. ITO arrest the progress OF
experimental tumors with certainty I:
far less to effect the cure OF the dis
ease occurring naturally in mice. While
the results OF our experiments contrast

from cancer. Now. however. that
Trustworthy reports are being sent In
to the Imperial Cancer researchers, It
is known that savage races, and In
deed all animals, develop cancer quite
as freely az Nvople living under civil

brought under DR.. Bashford's attention
was that Of a cancer In a wild mouse;
and malignant cancers have been found
In birds. tame as well as wild. From
trout IN hatcheries. from carp and
from marine fish living in a state Of

an oyster has been found with large

we'd just do a little firing into the
