MONEY IN SHEEP

Shropshires Pay Good Profits

Dear Sir.-In looking over the en-
hibits of sheep at the Virginia state
Fair. recently held at Richmond 1
call TO mind the record of small lock
of grade Shropshires on a Tidewattr
Virginia farm, lock that yielded a
fine return for the money invested in
them. and 1t seems to me that you.
who are doing so much to interest the
farmers of the old Commonwealth in
better methods of farming. and espe-
cially in the very important subject. Of
raising live stock, would be intereat-
ed in the really unusual record OF this
small flock of sheep.
Well, they were raised on an East
Virginia farm, in the Tidewatcr sec

one apiece for each eve. sold for $3.50

clipped a total Of ZIG pounds of wool.
which sold for 80 cents per pound ard
amounted TO S64.So.
Now we have thuty-six lambs at
$3.50. amounting to s23i. which added
10 the s6+.s0 received from wool, makes

pasture fields during the greater part
of the year. and it was only in sever,
spells of sleet or snow that they were
kept up. and we all know these slcct
, and snow spells are very rare in our
Virginia winters.
Practically no grain was led to
these sheep. but they had n ration of
hay. proba Timothy and herdgrass
mixed. or clover hay, when they hap
pened to be put up.
During the Landing season the:
were looked after. especially to the
extent of endeavoring to make the
ewes nurse their lambs. which Is some

flock masters know.
Gold In the Sleeps Trnck.
There is an old Spanish proverb that
has much wisdom in 1t. 1t reads .hus:
I'm a sleeps track there is gold" We
want more sheep in Virginia. and in
the large majority of cases they should
be run In small docks. as 1t is poor
plan to crowd too many of them on a
pasture.

among the people. especially the tobae-
co people. and he catches on TO som =
very fine ideas by this mixing and
picks up lot of wisdom of one kind
and another. In his last paper he let's
out some OF this wisdom in the follow
ing paragraph:
THE editor of this journal comes in
contact with thousands of tobacco
farmers annually. ana he, talks with
hundreds of them during the season.
He finds that here and there are tobac-
co farmers who make their own sup
plies-their wheat. corn. meat, vegc-
tables. and. In fact. about all that Is
consumed on the farm, and then he
makes wha. tobacco he can care for.
Wherever this kind of farmer Is found
he does not have TO worry over farm
ers' unions, and things of that sort.
He Is independent. always. It is tie
tobacco farmer who neglects all crops
except his tobacco that Is quarreling
with conditions"
There is the whole essence OF a good
farmer. whether the money crop ne
tobacco, cotton. peanuts. pumpkins or
what not.

Fifteen CARS
Of Train JUMP
FROM TRACK
Brakeman Riding On Top
Is Seriously Injuree
Two Unidentified Men THOUGHT
to Have Meet Death

FARGO, May 23-Fifteen cars OF
freight on the Northern Pacific road
yesterday on its way to Fargo, at
a point one mile and half west OF
StockWood, Mimi, jumped the track
and rolled down a high embankment,
carrying with them Brakeman Dave
Platek, who was riding that section
of the train. He rolled down the
embankment about fort" feet anc
when the other trainmen rushed to MS
assistance he was unconscious.
AS soon as possible the train was
made up and rushed to this city,
reaching here about nine o'clock and
the unfortunate man placed in St.
Luke's hospital where the N. P. sur
geons. Drs. Sorkness and Carpenter,
attended to his injuries.
One leg was badly broken, his face
terribly cut and filled with sand and
he is suffering from conclusion of
the brain. it was impossible last night
to tell whether or not he would re.
cover.
The fifteen cars that left the track
were in the front part of the train
and they did not drag the heavy To-
connective with them, neither did they
take the rear end off the track, so
that it was possible to make up the
train very soon after the accident took
place.
1t is supposed that the accident was
caused by a bar dropping down on
the track. The cars were all badly
damaged
A sister of the injured man arrived
at St. Lukes shortly before midnight.
1t is reported that two unknown no.
boes riding beneath a car of ties
which rolled down the embankment,
were pinned under the wreckage and
were killed.
