Sheep may be prot1tably raised on
such lands In two ways; small band

flock for the purpose Of raising rams
for use In other pure bred llocks or In
range herds.
The irrigated West is just begin
ming to face the problem Of weed con-
troll. and as the lands are better
fenced and better improved in every
way the cleaning OF fence rows, cor
ners of the fields and other neglected
places becomes necessary for prevent
ing the spread Of weed seeds and for
improving the appearance Of the
farm and the home. A small band OF
sheep will do this service more effec-
tually and more economically than
any mechanical contrlvance. Sheep
do well in cleaning up neglected
places, in the potato field, In stubble
fields and wherever vegetable matter
grows that is not harvested In salable
crops. They eat practically all weeds
when young. Investigation in Mime
sofa Indicates That sheep will eat and
practically destroy '430 OF the $50 va
rieties of weeds native to that State.

ally produce u lamb worth $3.50 To

The handling OF pure bred flocks,
for producing rams suitable for range
use. has alfeady been taken up In
some parts Of the State, particularly
ut Greeley and Longnont.
With the exception OF increased
cost OF foundation stock and therefore
increased interest on investment to
be taken into consideration, such
fiucks can be handled with but little
more expense than grades. Pure bred
rams produced by such q system OF
sheep husbandry when old enough for
breeding sell TO range flock masters
for SIS to s25.
A sheepman at Boise, Idaho, who
has established a reputation for pro-
ducing rams for range use, has con-
tracted his ram lambs for five years
ahead at s25 per head.
1t would pay western farmers to
give sheep some consideration for
either OF the above mentioned pur-
poses. f. J. lDDINos,

OF our ancestors; has given comfort

In our divine and patriotic relations.
Among them the religion Of man was
born. Groves were the first cathedrals
Of our race. Birds. singing In their
branches, gave us the ilrst idea Of
sacred music and the choir. God
planted them In Eden for the susie
nance OF our first parents. From their
leaves were, fashioned the first gar

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTERS.

IT the day of the opening of the winter
term of Lowell University. the greatest cole ye
in the eastern part of the United States, and
institution that had had many winning attn
lctic teams. one of the students who received
II particularly hearty welcome from his fellows
was Hughie Jenkins. for three years manager Of
the base ball nine and captain OF the foot bal
team the previous season. Soon after the term
work began Hughie and other base ball enhu
siastS commenced to speculate regarding mater1a
for the team for the approaching season. Among
fh9 new students was one named Ease. wh,

he intended irving for the positi'~ of pitcher.

CHAPTER Nv.
The Jerry Hartman Scholarship
Prize.

When Lowell University won the college
base ball championship in 1876 the victory
was TO a large extent due to the wonder
full all-round work of Jerry Hartman. AS
pitcher he had never up to that time
had an equal, and he could play almost
any other position on the team we'll. In
those days a club would have only one
pitcher and he was expected to pitch al
most every game Of the season, which
often meant pitching every day in the
week but Sunday. When not pitching he
played an outfeld position.
This is whole lot different from the
way the game is conducted in the colleges
today. In these days a nine Will some
times have half a dozen pitchers, and
they don't do anything but pitch, and
then only in their regular turns. Besides
being great pitcher Jerry was also a
great batter. This was also unusual, be-
cause very seldom do you find a good
pitcher who can bat but Jerry could both
pitch and bat. and he made a great name
for himself as a college athlete.
After he had been graduated he went

they crowded close to the base lines. In
the ninth inning the score was tied, one
out, and Bill Everett of Biltmore Co.
lege on third. The batter hit foul ball
high into the crowd back OF third base.
Some of them were seated, but most of
them were standing. Jenkins hustled
across from his position at short, hurled
himself through the air without paying
any attention to the crowd, caught the
ball fair and square, and then fell in
among the spectators. That made two
out, but Hughie was after the third one.
Bill Everett touched third after the catch
and started for home. Hughie couldn't
see, but he guessed that Everett had
started. He climbed up out of the crowd.
stepped on the people he had knocked
down, and threw to the plate without
looking The ball went straight into the
catchers mitt and Everett was out easily.
In the next inning Lowell won the game.
Then of course Miner Black had TO
tell his remarkable catch story about
Jimmie Siegel in a twenty-inning game
with Eastern Pennsylvania; how in the
eighteenth inning, with a runner on first
base. the mightiest hitter of the PennsyI-
vania nine drove a hard-hit ball to left
center Just at that moment. however.

into business in the middle west and be-
came very wealthy.
As young lad he had been weak phys
ically and his heart was said to be af-
fected; he was not expected to live TO
grow up. When he was thirteen years old
the doctors said he couldn't live a year.
There came to his home town. however,
about this time young man who opened
a school of physical culture. He had a
wonderfully well developed body. was a
great enthusiast on athletics and he made
a great effort to get the young boys
around town who were weak physically to
come to him.
He made his living by forming gym
nasium classes among the business men
of the town, and by his work with them
got many a staid old business man who
was constantly confined to his office into
the habit of taking exercise regularly and
he made many a man who had become
fat and sick through lack of exercise
strong again physically.
But he had particular interest in the
boys and he was especially fond OF get
who were as | said before, undeveloped
and weak. and he taught these young
sters for nothing what he knew about
the fine results of taking exercise regu-
larly, and many poor fellow who would
have died young he developed into a
strong and healthy young man, who lived
long and became prominent In business
and politics. -
Among the young 1eliOWS VINO came 10
the attention of this Prof. Mitchell was
young Hartman. who by this time. how
ever, was SO weak that he couldn't join
any of the classes. In fact, Jerry couldn't
walk across the room without holding
on to a chair or something, and even the
professor had some doubts as to his abil-
ity to do anything for him.
However. the case interested him and
he came every day to the house for
some weeks and had Jerry do such ex-
ercise as he could At first there was
no Improvement that could be noticed. but
after couple of months of the most
careful and lightest exercise possible
very decided Improvement began to be
noticed. Very soon. by carefully doing
exactly as the professor told him. Jerry
began to get stronger and stronger. until
by the end of the first year all trace
of his heart trouble had disappeared and
the professor told him that If he would
only make 1t his business to take his eX-
ercise every day he would some dav
he a strong any boy.
II is not the idea of this chapter to go
into all the details Of how Hartman be-

1t stuck. Meantime the bali had to be
caught on the run, and Jimmie had TO
make try for it some way. He leaped IN
the air. twisted. stuck up his left hand
and caught it with his back to the dia-
mond. Jimmie threw the ball into the dia-
mond with his left hand Strange TO say,
his right hand then came out of his
pocket easily. He wiped the perspira ton
off his face, grinned and the crowd went
wild. for they realized why he had gone
after it with one hand
After such talks the 'freshies' who
had made some pretty fine catches on the
back lots at home always made reso-
luton to do something equally startling
when they got on the varsity. and the
candidates at Lowell this year were a
good deal like all the other freshman cam
didates who had gone before them in this
respect. This really was a good thing for.
the boys, although of course many of
them never realized. their ambitions for
such fame.

came strong young man. 1t is only
fair to say, however. that to him his
regular and systematic exercise became
as important as his meals or washing
his face night and morning. When he
saw how exercise was improving him
physically he became almost a crank on
the subject.
At any rate he made a resolution that
some day he would be just as we'll de-

his thoughts. because he could see that
