and the reports from all committees
entered, the Puritan basketball team
promises that their ball which will
be held tomorrow night in Washing

League. They have been known for
their fine social undertakings as well
as for their manner of playing the

MOST PROFITABLE SHEEP FOR AVERAGE
MAN TO RAISE IS DUAL PURPOSE ANIMAL
Wool Should Not Be Too Coarse Excessively Fe but Should
Possess Something of Medium Quality Superior of
Mutton and Wool Most Desirable

ing both the wool and mutton qualr
ties.
An Impression prevails in the north
OF England, says John Wrightson in
London Live Stock Journal, that sheer
never drink, and in this faith | was
brought up. Water was always con
sidered to be an important accessory
In cattle pastures, but it's absence was
never looked upon as an objection to
sheep runs. There Is a breed known
as "crag" sheep in Lancashire, which
range over the extensive upland Of the
mountain limestone, that are said to
require no water; but this does not
strike a Northumbrian as very re-
markable as it fits in with his precon-
ceived notions
Mr.. Primrose Mcconnell supports
this view when he writes that lin his
boyhood he had herded sheep and
COWS together in hot summer weather,
and been struck by the cows constantly
repairing to the water, while the sheep
never went near it, and were never
seen to drink at all, although they had
access to a running stream close at
hand" He adds that a northern shep'
herd would ridicule the idea of a
sheep ever drinking unless it was In
bad health. This opinion | can en-
dorse with slight modification, as my
idea In the north of England was that
sheep were practically Independent of
water.
That this is also true to CERTAIN
extent in the south Is shown by the
practice of many good shepherds, who
do not allow their ewes water during
the period Of CESSATION. There are
circumstances in which this rule is
not adhered to, but they constitute ex-
ceptions which may be said to prove
the rule.
To speak generally, it is bad sign
when a eve drinks frequently, and
indicates unsoundness in some form.
The truth seems to be that as long as
heritage is succulent, or is moistened
with dew, or from rain from time to
time, sheep do not require water.
When ewes are fed on hay they
should have water; and when they re-
ceive cake and hay together, and are
not allowed roots, it is evident that
the moisture of the body must be kept
on. On the other hand, if they have
access to roots they do not require wa
ter, and this is one of the best rea-
sons for. growing roots on high and
dry situations.
Again, the need of ewes which have
to support lambs at foot are different
to either dry sheep or pregnant ewes.
They are called upon to supply a
larger quantity of water in their milk,
and they must be supplied either di-
rectly or through succulent food in Dr.
der to do so.

fever. He tells the story:

appetite, was nervous and discour-
aged.
"A friend advised me to eat Grape
Nuts, but l paid no attention to him
and kept getting worse as time went
by.
II took many kinds of medicine but
none of them seemed to help me. My
system was completely run down, my
blood got out of order from want of
proper food, and several very large
boils broke out on my neck. l was
so weak could hardly walk.

The best time to study the wool pro-
ducing quality of ones flock is when
the animals are sheared AS wool is
being removed from the sheep time
should be taken to remove a few f.
bers Of the fleece and note its quality.
In every flock there is wide varia-
ton in the quality of the wool from
different individuals, despite the fact
that they were sired by the same ram
and given practically the same care
and feed The average wool produc-
ing sheep Of the double-deck type
should shear at least twelve pounds
Of wool Of good length and density
The wool should not be excessively fine
nor, on the other hand, too coarse, but
should possess something Of medium
quality. | have a number OF indi-
viduals in my flock that annually
shear from twelve to thirteen pounds
of wool Of the quality that always de-
mands the highest market price.
These ewes are on the order of the
mutton breed, although they have
been bred for a number of years for
both wool and mutton production
am firmly of the opinion that the
most profitable sheep for the average
farmer to raise in the future is the
animal that will produce a high quail
ity of both wool and mutton. In view
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1912-12-12

of the fact that many of our flocks at
the present time have been bred along
mutton lines exclusively, believe
flock owners can well afford to give
more attention to the wool producing
side of their flocks.
For the past few years wool has
been commanding a very high and uni
form price. The mutton market is well
established. To insure the greatest
profit from the growing of sheep, eth
or on the farm or Range, a superior
grade of both wool and mutton must
be marketed.
There has been decided improve
ment in the sheep producing industry
in the past few years along the line
above considered, but am fully aware
there is plenty of room for consider
able more along the line of combin-

PROPER FEEDS AND
CARE FOR THE CALF
Young Animal Must Have Exer-

and Farm.

Feeding and raising the calf On
skim-milk is not always an easy prop.
osition, but l have had very good
success. The calf stays with the
mother until the milk is good to use;
then it is given whole milk for three
weeks; then it is gradually changed
to skim-milk. The calf will soon learn
to eat alfalfa hay. BY putting little
corn chop in the bucket when the
calf is through drinking it will soon
learn to eat it. Corn will supply the
fat that is taken out Of the milk. The
calf must have exercise and is al.
lowed the freedom of yard and farm.
We have the best success with the fall
and winter calves. Hay is better for
the calf than grass.

ROOTS ARE FINE FOR
PRODUCTION OF MILK
Make Valuable Addition to RAJ
tons During the Cold Win
ter Months.

No matter what some people tel.
you. turnips and other roots make
fine milk-producing feed. Turnips
will not affect the flavor of milk If
fed at the right time.
If turnips are fed In large quaint.
ties, and two or three hours before
milking, they are likely to give the
milk an unpleasant taste, but If fed
directly after milking no flavor what.
ever will be noticed.
A peck of turnips to each ANNA
per day is sufficient in most cases. A
good plan is to feed directly after hay
in the early morning, and once a day
Is often enough.
Roots make very valuable addition
to the winter rations because thev

ATTENTION NEEDED
FOR WINTER PIGS
To Raise Two LitterS Annually
One Must Not Allow Over
stocking.
(By G. w. BROWN1

There is a decided difference In car
ing for the pigs of autumn narrowing
and those of the spring filters. On the
average farm the latter have the ad-
vantage over the former of coming
in previous to the advent of the spring
grasses, and have a more generous
supply of milk and other laxative food
stuffs to keep them growing and in
perfect order.
1t has been my practice for num-
Der of years to raise two filters Of pigs
a year. To do this successfully | find
that one must not allow overstocking.
but rather should sell off a portion OF
the pigs soon after weaving time,
keeping only so many as he knows
he can accommodate with good quar-
ters and generous feeding. One must
not slight pigs during cold weather
either in housing or feeding.
Besides dry nesting quarters the
pigs should have good-sized lot in
which they may get plenty of exercise.
Growing pigs should not be crowded
into close, filthy quarters, exposed to
vermin and disease.
Our winter pigs are very proftably
fed upon whole corn in the fodder as
they delight in getting their feed from
this material find that they eat
very much Of this fodder, which forms
fine diet. The cobs and the coarse
