MANY BENEFITS FROM SHEEP
No Kind Of Live Stock That Can Be
Handled More Advantaeeousiy
With Dry Farming.

fBv w. r. STEVENS. Live Stock Com
missioner OF Alberta.l
There is no kind of live stock that
can be handled as advantageously in
connection with extensive grain grow
Ing in a dry-farming country as can
sheep.
This is due to one fundamental fact
the large number of weeds that
sheep will eat OF the 300 grasses and
weeds known in Canada, sheep will
eat 260. Horses and cattle will eat
only about one-fourth that number
The most serious problem confront
Ing the average grain farmer in West
ern Canada today is the weed prob
lem. While the weed problem can be
handled by proper cultivation. this
cultivation can be greatly facilitated
by keeping the right kind of animals
on the land, and in addition to solving
the weed problem the productiveness
of the soil will also be maintained
Anything that will destroy weeds is
worthy of the farmers ate ntion; any.
thing that win maintain the fertility
of the land demands his attention
Sheep will do both, and are therefore
entitled to the attention of every
grain grower in a dry-farming country

Overhead irritation.

Many gardeners using cold frames
for the forcing of early summer crops
have found the overhead system of ir
rigation very practical. Instead OF
placing the pipes several feet above
the frames they are usually placed
very close to the frames and In some
instances on the inside Of the side
boards. This method of irrigation
greatly reduces the cost OF watering
and secures more equal distribution Of
the water than usually occurs by hand
watering. When using this system Il
is always better to water thoroughly
and then refrain from applying more
water until 1t is actually needed
