A Shelter for Sheep.

Sheep to do not require warm quar-
ters, except for early lambs, In gen
eral they are better with little pro
lection from cold The wool is heav-
Ter and of better quality. A stable
for other stock Is too warm for sheep,
and outside feeding is best whenever
possible. Therefore, says writer In
Farm, Stock and Home they should
not be housed In the barn. They
must be sheltered from cold rains, and
muddy fields often make outside feed
ing impossible or wasteful.
The building shown provides sim
pie and cheap shelter for use by the
man who is trying to grow into

buildings. 1t has a stone foundation,
and a floor of earth Roof is covered
with prepared roofing. Sides may have
cheap drop siding; or cheap boards
perhaps from logs cut on the farm,
and light weight roofing. The wide
doors prevent injury to ewes from
crowding. Doors will usually be left
open, either allowing the sheep to
pass in and out at will, or using fire
covered gates in the doorways.
In case of early lambs or in severe
storms the doors can be closed, and

open sash covered with heavy muslin.

What Former Oregon Farmer
Thinks of Western Canada.

Albert Nelson left Benton County,
Oregon, in September, 1904, for the
great Canadian prairies. To quote
from his letter: | was greatly sur
priSed to find such an immense stretch
of rich virgin prairie still almost I'M
occupied in the very heart of North
America. The splendid crops Of oats,
wheat, barley, potatoes and hay | be
held in the settlements made me very
eager for a piece of this rich soil, and
| soon located in the Goose Lake coun-
try. We have here Il great stretch of
the rich deep clay loan of the Sas-
katchewan-a soil heavy and hard to
break, but particularly well adapted for
the retention of moisture and produc-

and great crops of oats, barley, flax and
potatoes. | had GO bushels of oats
weighing Al pounds to the bushcl per
acre. Some of my neighbors had still
greater yield. Wheat yielded from 20
to so bushels per acre. We have all

healthy. This is the regular SaSkatch-
evan fall weather-frOSty nights and
bright sunny days-ideal for threshin2
and hauling out of wheat. The trails
are dusty, as thousands of wheat teams
are moving towards the elevators.
The sight of it makes one stop and
wonder what it will be in Il few years
when the immense prairics get under
cultivation. Heavy snowfall is the eX-
ception here Snow generally falls in
December and goes off in March. Ii

Dairy CIeanliues,

Prof. G. +. Eckles says the COW her
self is the chief source Of the contain
nation TO which milk is subject Els
pecially is this true when the COW IS
kept under the conditions found in
some barns. The COW must. first of ALL
be kept dccently clean if 1t is expected
to produce milk suitable for human
food In many cases the difficulty is to
be attributed TO the poor arrangement
of the barn. Putting the COW in Il
well-lighted stable, with good floor. Il
platform the proper length to stand up
on, suitable gutter and a manger,
and ii is possible at least. to keep the
conditions fairly good. Then keep the
COW decently clean. Curry her and
brush off the udder and adjoining parts
of the body with a stiff brush before
milking.
The strainer can not be depended
upon to take out DRIFT must be kept
out in the first place.
Another source of contamination is
improperly cleaned utensils. Prof.
Ecklcs says single dirty can may con
tain more bacteria than there are in
hibitants in the world, and they are
ready for business as soon as milk is
placed in the can.
The most proper thing to use In
cleaning utensils is good, strong
brush. Nothing else should be en-
ployed in cleaning pals, cans or cream

COOKING ON THE TRAIL.
Making Bread Without Bread Pan
Keeping Coffee from Boiling Over

Our guide allowed me to assist him in
preparing the breakfast, though l fancy
my assistance might have been easily
dispensed with. He sagely remarked
that if / was going to rough it | might
as well begin learning now as any time.
1t was astonishing how appetzing n
meal he prepared with the very fewest
convenlenceS.
For instance he made bread in the
sack of flour without using a bread pan.
He followed out a cavity in the flour.

powder in proper quantities, then pro
ceedcd to mix the dough. lie did an
other thing in his cooking that amused
me very much. To prevent the coffee
boiling over he placed small green will
low stick across the open top of the pot.
The lesson in physics soon followed.
The coffee bubbled and then rushed
up to the top of the pot as though it
was going to boil over the sides and eX-
tiugush the fire, but as soon as it
touched the willow it subsidized like some
seutent thing.-Forest and Stream.
