THE SMALL SHEEP FLOCK.
Easily! Handled and Profitable Side
/. ;t:i;'f' Line For Che Farm. i'''

Easily! Handled and Profitable sids
a':t;'' Line For The Farm. -
THOSE small! focks of sheep which
farmers w!ho; are rnniiing a mixed farm
ing business are Keeping are often neg
leected during the winter and colist':
quently they: do not always do as wen.
as they are expected to do. writes g..
H. Glitske in the Iowa Homestead.
This often makes the farmer feel dis
appointed. and lie thinks sheep raising
is not a paying business: as l beard
one farmer say.
1t is. however. a nice side line for
the farmer where mixed farming IN
carried on and certainly a he made
to yield a nice little income where
even only a few are kept if they are
given a little special attention.
A small flock OF sheep Ike this k:'nt
IN. tile; farm do not adj greatly to tine
work thereof, During The white: t!".y,
need a little extra care and atteIt!tin
to protect them from cold, damp
weather. Ti:ey can stand dry Weath-
er, even though it is somewhat r"id.
but wet and sieety weather will sndl
cause them to get sick. and they die
very quickly Wien subjected to such
weather. Very frequently the inexl,e..
rienced sheep raiser neglects tn pro-
tect them against exposures Of this
kind. and then if Il loss occurs and not
knowing exactly what caused the tron-
BILE the farmer often becomes diScouT-
aged and thinks there is no money in
raising sheep. However, for the little
amount of extra time and trouble
sheep bring big returns. and after the
simple method of handling them IL
once learned a farmer can make good
money from even a small flock.
In the winter is when the sheep re-
quire most care. They need Il warm
stable and u dry bed for the night:
They cannot stand dampness UNDER
foot any more than they can stand
dampness from above. Therefore the
shed in which they are kept should
not be leaky and should always be we'll
bedded. During days of sleet and cold
rains they should not be left out Of
doors ut all. When there. is much snow
on the ground 1t is well to clear a place
on the sunny side of Il building SO they
can be turned nj there on bright days
to take Il sun bath. They enjoy this.
and it Is good for them. ~:
BY studying the needs and wants of
his flock Il little the beginner will soon
learn to give his sheep the required at
tention and will find the work pleasant
well as profitable.

VINO IA the Moral Grip

30 s3o AVA0
T! It is not often that the pew talks
back to the pulpit. and It is still. less
frequent. that applause is heard in
church. but both events recently &C.
Cured in Il Philadelphia church. The
occupant Of the pulpit. a professor of
the University Of Pennsylvania. had
made the statement that the morals
Of the girl who spends her income on
lnery IRE better than those of the girl
who buys cheaper things and econo-
mizes to ave. In his opinion the girl
who is making but 81 or IS per week
aud who buys a, SO hat is more to be
respected than the girl who buys a
fifty cent hat. He also asserted that
she had better look attractive and
spend her wages on her own dress
than to give to her parents. for they
no longer had amy claim upon her.
1t was then that the pew talked back.
"A handsome young woman arose aud
questioned the statement. She was
the mother. Of four and had the right
to speak.
II wish to say she began. chat
that Is untrue. The girl who assists
her pafents cheerfully. who gives gen
prously of her earnings that she may
make life brighter and more cheerful
for her parents and their home hap
pier. is the moral girl-not the one who
spends her money Oh good times and
ostrich fe~atllels. To call a poor girl
immoral becaNse she Is generous and
thinks of others rather than herself Is
an insult"
The newspaper reports say that It
was then the audience appiauded. It
ID safe to say that the applause will be
repeated in thought at least by most
OF those who read OF the incident
whatever rye may think Of the pew
having its say and Of the say being
|cbeered. both. are justified when such
|afrant nonsense IL talked from the
pulpit The provocation justices the
step. Differentiation of vanity above,
Iduty, and OF ~sel3shnessi above unset
nshnessf deserves rebuke wherever and
whenever u 10 heard.

The basic joint about a silo is that It

The theory of silage is that sugar,

fermentation. Heat is generated, from.
100 to 10 degrees, which Kills off alt

Don't Forget tts. Farm Girls.

Do not forget the girls when the re-
turns for the crops and animals are to
be distributed among members Of the
family. The boys may have toiled in
the fields and in the barns, and their
work may merit special reward. Re.
ward them and thus encourage them
to undertake more next year. But do
not forget the girls who have made It
possible for you and their brothers to
labor. They have borne the heat Of
summer around the kitchen range:
they have endured the drudgery Of the

 The woman is suffering from sore hand which needs attention and which could not be given her unless she should be locked up for the county physician would not know where to find her. She does not stay in one place long at a time. Beside, while she is in jail she will have plenty to eat. At home the question of eating | is a good deal like the oil business as it was once described by MT Rockefeller on the witness stand, very precarious.
