There are one hundred forty teachers
attending institute here this week. C.
R. Travis and Mrs. H. H. Porter, both
of the Mayville Normal, are here again
this year and are pleasing everyone
with the many ideas they are giving
the teachers to use in their school
rooms: N. C. Abbot of the state uni
versity was here the opening day and
addressed the teachers and deputy State
Superintendent Parson spoke to them a
short time Wednesday afternoon.
Wednesday evening Chas. w. Harris
of Bismarck gave an interesting talk
on character. His lecture was so en-
pertaining that the audience made no
move to leave the hall for several
minutes after the speaker had left the
stage.
Washburn has a chance to entertain
the teachers of the county but once a
year and they have tried to make their
visit here a pleasant one.

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

ing both the wool and mutton quail
ties.
An impression prevails In the north
Of England, says John Wrightson in
London Live Stock Journal, that sheep
never drink. and in this faith was
brought up. Water was always con-
sidered to be an important accessory
in cattle pastures. but its 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 Northumbrian as very re-
markable as 1t fits in with his precon-
ceived notions.
Mr.. Primrose Mcconnell supports
this view when he writes that I'm 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 1t, and were never
seen to drink at all. although they had
access to a running stream close at
hand" He adds that northern shep-
herd would ridicule the idea OF
sheep ever drinking unless 1t was In
bad health. This opinion ! can en-
dorse with slight modification, as my
idea in the north OF England was that
sheep we're 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, 1t is a bad sign
when a eve drinks frequently, and
indicates unsoundness in some form.
The truth seems to be that as long az
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, 1t is evident that
the moisture Of the body must be kept
on. On the other hand. IL they have
access to roots they do not require wa
ter, and this Ia ore 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 q
larger quantity Of water In their milk,
and they must be supplied either d.
rectly or through succulent food in or
der to do 80.

The best time to study the wool pro-
ducing quality OF ones flock is when
the animals are ,sheared. Az wool Is
being removed from the sheep time
should be taken to remove few d.
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 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 q 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 high quail
ity of both wool and mutton. In view

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

No matter what some people tell
you, turnips and other roots make
fine milk-producing feed. Turnips
will not affect the flavor OF milk II
fed at the right time.
II turnips are fed In large quanti-
ties. and two or three hours before
milking, they are likely to give the
milk an unpleasant taste, but II fed
directly after milking no flavor what
ever will be noticed.
A peck of turnips to each animal
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 a very valuable addition
to the winter rations because they
ado 20 the variety Of the feed and no
animal on the farm appreciates va,
riety more than the dairy COW.

There Is decided difference In car
ing for the pigs Of autumn narrowing

average farm the latter have the ad-
vantage over the former Of coming
in previous to the advent Of the spring
grasses, and have more generous
supply Of milk and other laxative food

perfect order.
1t has been my practice for num-
Der of years to raise two filters of pigs
a year. TIC do this successfully ! find
that one must not allow overstocking.

the pigs soon after weaving time,
keeping only so many as he knows
he can accommodate with good quar-
tiers and generous feeding. One must
not slight pigs during cold weather
either in housing or feeding.
Besides dry nesting quarters the
pigs should have a 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 profitably

they delight in getting their feed from
this material. find that they eat
very much Of this fodder. which forms

Floors for Hog Houses.

Our experience Is that wooden
floors in the hog houses will produce
rheumatism in the animals just az
quickly as cement floors II former are
allowed to remain damp and the bed
ding holds moisture, says a writer in
an exchange.
II the cement floors are kept clean
and well Uttered with dry straw or
other material frequently. rheumatism
will not result.
Better have hole two feet wide at
the top of the pen and crack two
inches wide at the bottom. 1t Is the
cold air blowing under the doors and
around the pen that causes the great
sst discomfort.
