RANCH AND HOUSEHOLD.

Many farmers look down upon sheep
and will not tolerate one on the place.
Fortunately this attitude 10 changing,
because the farmers are seeing the
profits in the sheep business and are
taking more kindly to the industry.
This In especially noticeable among the
farmers located In our irrigated dis
tricts many Of whom have from ten to
100 sheep around the ranch to eat up
the weeds aud loose hay which other
wise would go to waste. In fact the
trend Of the sheep industry seems to be
tending towards the small bands and
the elimination Of the large focks. Mr..
Mcclellan Of Weld county, says that
sheep are q necessity Ms fertilizers Of

TEACHER TREED BY A MOOSE
Young Woman Fortunate In That She
Had Cultivated Ability
to Climb.

The oft-repeated statement that
"the wild animals of the New Bruins
wick forests are comparatively harm
less" was convincingly disproved 4
few days ago when Miss Milburn. q
teacher at Upper Mills, about eight
miles from Chapman, was attacked by
a large bull moose. says the st. John
Sun.
Miss Milburn had finished her
schoolroom trials and tribulations for
the week. and on Friday evening set
out to visit Mrs. Isaiah Langin. whose
home was some three miles distant.
The road that Miss Milburn trav.
eled on the way to Mrs. Langin's has
the reputation of being the haunt Of
bears, and Miss Milburn was keeping
a sharp lookout for those animals
when suddenly sound resembling
the low Of COW broke upon her ears.
The startled woman. thinking dis
cretion the better part Of valor. re-
paired to the roadside and took lodg-
ing among the branches of tree.
The expected bear turned out to be a
bull moose, which approached the tree
In which the teacher sat. It was not
until the antlered monarch was at
tracted by the call of another of his
species that the traveller was permit
ted to descend from her uncomfort-
able quarters and proceed to her jour-
ney's end.

CARE OF SACRED MONKEYS
hIndu Fakir Who Lives In Comfort
on IN indian Hilltop with His
Changes.

In the very top Of Jakko. the hill
that rises above Simla, there lives .
solitary Hindu fakir. an old man
clothed In yellow, with saffron Tlas-
tered cheeks and caste marks on his
forehead. He's the guardian priest Of
the sacred monkeys.
Like the inhabitants of ancient
Egypt. who worshiped cats and croc.
odiles. the Hindus Of to-day hold many
animals in superstitious reverence. In
deed the Hindu of to-day Is even more
fanatical than formerly. and resents
more passionately the smallest injury
or insult offered to the creatures he
worships.
Among this hierarchy of animals
the monkey holds a place Of honor
second only to the COW; for in the
"Ramayana," the sacred epic Of the
Hindus, 1t Is written how Hanuman,
the monkey god, allied himself with
vishnu thePreserver, helping him to
overcome his enemies and recover his
lost wife Sta.
So the monkey, especially the com.
mon red monkey. says the Wide World
Magazine, ia worshiped throughout the
length and breadth Of India. His i'm
ages In brass are sold in every bazaar.
and many shrines are dedicated to his
worship.
People say that there has always
been a fakir on Jakko, and 1t is pos.
sible that one has lived there ever
since the hill tribes we're admitted
within the very elastic limits Of the
Hindu religion. Priest has succeeded
priest, living alone on the mountain
top, and sharing with his little red
gods the food which pious worshipers
provided.
In former times there must have
been a fakir on Jakko. and 1t Is pos
priest, for the hill folk in the villages
around live poorly even when the sea.
son is good, and nearly starve when
there Is famine. But now he lives In
comfort. Not only has the number Of
Hindu merchants In the bazar In
creased but many English visitors
come to see his charges and give him
money when they leave.

Barley . colorado Feed Grain.

Formerly corn was cheap and hay
was cheap, so that western feeders had
no particular problem to profitably feed
live stock for the market. But condi.
tions have changed. The surplus corn
of Kansas and Nebraska is yearly be-
coming less and less. Corn prices have
risen until corn can no longer be 80
lavishly used, even In Kansas and Ne
braska, where 1t always holds tn.
cheapest price. Experiments made al
the Nebraska Station the past yea,
showed that the largest gains wer.
made with corn and alfalfa, using q
full corn ration. But the cheapest
gains were made with the least corn
ration In the test with alfalfa. Pro-
fessor Smith, In commenting on this
experiment, remarked that 'corn-belt"
feeders would be Obliged to use less
corn or go out of the feeding business.
When corn becomes too costly to feed
in Nebraska and Kansas, we In Colo
RADIO cannot hope to pay freight on 1t
and make profit. Our hay aud alfalfa
are worth as much rs the prices which
prevail further East. If our feeding
goes forward, we must grow our own
feeds. or these, harley is one OF the
most promising. Barley will grow un-
der greater variety Of soil, climate
aud altitude than most any other grain
crop Colorado climate is well adapted
for its growth. AS feed barley is
practically equal to corn. For putting
on high market finish. corn is about
eight per cent, more valuable than
barley, pound for pound. For young
stock and for the first weeks Of fatten-
ing, barley Is superior to corn. 1t will
producesa a meat of better flavor aud
superior quality. The amount Of meat
1t is capable of producing, per acre, is
fully as great as the best corn in the
"corn belt" Eight hundred pounds
of pork per acre have been produced on
barley in Colorado, meat yield rival
ing the very hest of the "corn-belt. 4"
with feed like barley, which we can
grow at home cheaper than we can ini-
port corn, why import corn to make a
poorer quality Of meat?
The highest priced pork on the mar
ket at present is barley-fed pork from
Denmark. 1t commands, a higher
price in the English markets because
of superior quality. 1t does this in
spite of the fact that 1t completes with
the very best American corn-fed pro-
duct. Why q Colorado feeder should
want to import corn in order to pro.
duce meat Of poorer quality Is one Of
the mysteries of Colorado agriculture.
