Childish standards of greatness are
interesting-perhaps because they are
at once so like yet so unlike the
standards of grown folk. Many an
adult, for instance, has been proud
with no more reasonable basis than
that which little Johnnie displayed In
attempting to top" the Boosting of a
juvenile comrade.

PROFIT IN SHEEP
Feeder Sheep and Lambs Are
Now Cheap.
GOOD MONEY IN PROSPECT
A seItEvident Proposition.

Good growing stock of any kind that
Is selling below the cost of production
is always a safe investment, IL the
purchaser is prepared to take good
care of it.
He who buys and develops such
stock Is almost certain to make a
good profit in doing SO, because pro-
duction will not long continue at a
loss, while consumption of staples
must go on steadily.
Not many others are buying such
stock, or else 1t would not be selling
so cheaply. and 1t follows logically
and consistently that when II has
been grown and finished for market,
there will then be comparative
scarcity of such finished stock and
such good prices will be realized for 1t
that handsome profit will result from
the deal.
This reasoning is self-evident, and
applies with especial emphasis to the
present situation In feeder sheep and
lambs.
Last years conditions are now re-
versed. Then nearly everybody was
crazy to feed sheep and lambs, and
an immense number were sold and
shipped to the country at about the
highest prices on record. This to-
gether with an enormous corn crop
of high feeding value, world of
perfectly cured roughage and splen'
did winter feeding season were fac.
tors that combined to produce heavy
supply of fat sheep and lambs for
market during the early part Of this
year, while retailers of meats held
up prices to consumers, so that con
sumption was limited, with the nat
ural and logical result of low prices
and feeders losses in most instances
, In consequence of last years un
profitable experience and present
scarcity o.-s--ass and hay, most farm
ers and many professional feeders OF
sheep and lambs are now eidng the
market, and very few are being ship
ped to the country. while prices are
the lowest since 1904. In fact, feed
er sheep and lambs are selling on the
market today for less than the cost OF
production
These facts mean that early next
year there will be a scarcity of fat
sheep and lambs at market, and com
paratively high prices will prevail
Those who have the nerve to go con
trary to the crowd and invest in good
thin but thrifty feeder sheep and
lambs at the present low price, will
have no cause to regret their enterpris
ing independence when they come to
market them In finished condition.
The concensus of opinion of the
best minds in the trade Is that since
both prices for feeding stock and pros
poets for fat stock are much better
than they were last year, therefore the
opportunities for profit are CORE
spondingly better. In fact, the whole
situation Is the reverse of last year
Now is the time to buy, because
range conditions are such that most
of the sheep and lambs will come to
market from the range regions ready
for slaughter, while fewer of the feed
er classes will be marketed during the
remainder of this year, and the supply
will not equal the probable Fall de
mand, so that prices are likely to be
materially higher in October and No

Storing Root Crops.
The most satisfactory and perma
nent results In storing root crops are
to be secured from a cellar built in
an excavation adjacent to or as a
part OF basement barn, the object
being to get below ground for secur-
ity against frost and the mainte-
nance OF uniformly low temperature.
A space partitioned off in the base
ment barn with light walls makes as
satisfactory an arrangement as any;
II this Is not done the warm, moist
air from the stables will prevent the
roots from keeping well. Root houses
built in excavations in banks some
distance from the stock barns are
not so satisfactory because of the
extra labor involved in conveying the
roots to the stock, particularly In
times of mud and snow.
FITTING may also be resorted to, but
is not 80 satisfactory as a cellar. I'm
der such conditions the continuous
use OF roots for feeding is interfered
with during the extremely cold spells
as some days the pit would have to
remain closed to prevent the access
of frost. In constructing a pit, high.
we'll drained piece of ground should
be chosen. The roots should be piled
in long piles, the bottom of the pile
about four or five feet wide, with the
sides sloping upward, to meet at a
point four feet above the center of the
pile; the length of the pit can be gov
erned by the conditions. AS soon as
roots are piled cover them with a lay
er of about three inches of straw, free
from chaff; then cover the straw with
earth taken up from near the edges OF
the pit In such way as to form a
ditch around the same for drainage.
Early in the season not more than an
inch or two Of earth should be placed
on the straw but later, as cold wealth
er approaches, double the amount of
earth, and prevent freezing in future
by coverings Of manure, used in such
quantity as the severity OF the wealth
er may require. Where the conditions
are extreme. or for tatoes, dou-
BILE covering may be used as follows:
First cover with straw and then with
thin layer of earth, which is al
lowed to freeze. then follow with an
other layer of straw and more earth.
In this method dead air space Is
maintained and the roots or potatoes
inclosed are not effected by fluctua-
tons in temperature from without. In
extreme weather a manure covering
would be needed as in the first case.

ammonia and has no value as a deo-
dorizer or disinfectant. 1t has some
little value in making the manure
easier to handle. but when one remem-
bers that the solid portion contains
less than one-third of the plant food
this one advantage assumes minor i'm
portance.
A material which answers more full
ly all of the aforementioned ispecifi-
cations is raw muck or peat and,
where II is available, Is by far the
best material for the purpose. In
most parts OF the state II can be read
lily obtained and many farms have
more or less of II which is considered
waste land by the owners. Ordinarily
as 1t comes from the bog, II Is mostly
water, one hundred pounds of the wet
material containing from fifty to nine
ty pounds of moisture, though in dry
seasons this may be considerably di-
minished. BY shoveling over, on dry
ground, and exposing to the action of
the wind and sun this amount may be
reduced to ten or fifteen pounds. The
dry material can then be hauled to
the barn and stored under some sort
of shed for use as required. In this
air-dry condition 1t has extremely high
absorbant powers and can take up
many times Its weight of liquid and
large quantities OF gaseous material.
thus drying the manure and making II
pulverulent and easier to handle.
In addition to these qualities peat
itself has more or less value as fer
tilizer on account of its nitrogen con-
tent. Though the total amount of nitro
gen present in peat is considerable,
that part which Is Immediately avail
able for plant use is quite small. Eek.
periments which have been conducted
at the Michigan experiment station
and elsewhere seem to indicate that
mixing with manure brings about
some change whereby greater por.
ton OF this nitrogen is made directly
available. Peat Is also valuable for
the humus or organic matter which II
supplies to the soil and this gives II
another advantage over straw.

The Use of Peat
as a Stable Litter
By C. S. ROBINSON. Research Assistant in
Chemistry, Michigan Experiment Station

Stable litter has four chief uses In
the preservation of manure. First, 1t
absorbs the liquid manure and pre-
vents its draining away; second, 1t
absorbs ammonia, one OF the most
valuable constituents OF manure;
third, II makes manure easier to han
die, and fourth, II acts as a deoderizer
and makes the presence of manure
less Objectionable. fhe first two or
these functions are exceedingly i'm
portant from a financial point OF view.
In the manure formed by horses, sheep
and cows practically SIS per cent OF
the nitrogen and 80 per cent. OF the
potash are found In the liquid manure.
Most OF this is directly available for
plant food, while considerable part
OF that in the solid manure Is not
available for immediate use. For
these reasons more attention should
be paid to the conservation OF the
liquid portion OF the manure than is
Missionary In common farm practice.
Is well known, ammonia is very
bile for fertilizing purposes and
mo means the least expensive
kg material on the market.
