Summer care of the flock is easy
II you have plenty of grass, water and
shade. | always have good pastures,
being either legumes or grasses. Per-
sonally, prefer blue grass slightly
mixed with white clover as legumes
are apt to get the ewes too fat be-
fore breeding time.
never allow the flock to stay
longer than three weeks in one past
IRE without changing to new quar-
ters. By these frequent changes l
lessen the danger of infection by par
asites, which is apt to come from too
close grazing Of pastures.
A frequent change also gives the
Cock a chance to select the things
most palatable to them.
My sheep always have access to
shade and plenty of fresh water. l
nm of the opinion that standing water
S always more or less infected with
dangerous parasites.
My only means of protection against
the gadfly is to pillow a few burrows
where the sheep stand in the shade.
A close watch must be kept through
out the summer to keep all tags
sheared off and the worms kept out
Of the wool, caused by wet tags. l
also note the general health SO that
parasites will not get the start of me.
Salt is kept in the pasture all the
time. l do not feed salt alone, but
a mixture which | have used and
'ound very helpful in combating para
sites, especially stomach worms.
The formula is: Salt, one bushel;
lir-slaked lime, one peck; sulphur, one
gallon; pulverized resin, two quarts;
,opperas, one pound. Thoroughly pull
verize and mix. Keep in a dry place
before sheep constantly.
Another good way to combat stom-
lch worms is to increase the woody
Or fibrous content of the stomach,
which can easily be done by turning
the flock into a cornfield so that the
yheep will have the greater portion
Of their ration consisting of corn
blades. | have found this treatment
cry efficient.

faster than ever.
Far be 1t from me to essay to give a
recipe for a perfect salad, still
courageously offer the following and
say that 1t suits many: Dice enough
chicken meat to fill pint cup, do not
use the meat grinder for cutting the
meat, it makes It too fine; use the
kitchen scissors and have the dices
OF uniform size, when cut sprinkle
with the Juice of lemon or with not
too sharp vinegar, set aside while you
prepare as much celery as you have
chicken; the celery must be cut finer
than the chicken and should be sailed
lighted and then mixed in with the
cold meat. Stand these in the refrig-
orator to chill. Make a mayonnaise
dressing or boiled salad dressing and
soften it with whipped cream, as a
chicken salad must be mild and the
taste of the chicken predominant.
The chicken and celery may be
mixed with the mayonnaise and served
on lettuce but a newer, prettier way
is to sprinkle olive oil or salad oil over
the mixture in the proportion of half
as much oil as you have used vinegar,
and heap the mixture in individual
salad dishes with cress or lettuce be-
meath and then put In a heaping Ia
blespoon of the stiff, rich looking
dressing. A brilliant pimento or two

COLORING FOR
CONCRETE WORK
Venetian Red and Common Lamp
black Should Not Be Used
as They Are Liable
to Fade and Run.

The following materials for colored
concrete work have been recommend
ed by an American authority, accord
ing to Cement Age. The quantities
given are per barrel Of cement, mixed
dry with the cement and sand. The
sand must be thoroughly dry. In
mixing the colors should be made
deeper than the required tint, as dry
ing results in bleaching. Venetian
red and common lampblack should not
be used, as they are liable to run and
fade. The schedule for colors is as
follows:
For brown, rs lbs. best roasted iron
oxide; or Is to 20 lbs. brown ocher.
For black, As lbs. manganese diox-
ide.
For blue, 10 lbs. ultramarine.
For buff, Is lbs. ocher. (This is
likely to considerably reduce the
strength Of the mixture.)
For green, 20 lbs. greenish blue I'll
tramarine.
For gray, 2 lbs. boneblack.
For red, 20 lbs. raw iron oxide.
For bright red, 20 lbs. Pompeiian oi'
bright English red.
For purple. 20 lbs. Princes metallic.
For violet, 20 lbs. violet iron oxide.
For yellow, % lbs. ocher.

CORN CLUBS In
NORTHERN STATES
Success of Movement IN South
Encourages Government
Officials Increase
An Yield.

Owing to the success Of the boys
corn clubs in the south. the depart
ment of agriculture has been asked to
carry this line Of work farther, and
1t is doing so in organizing boys po-
tato clubs in the north, beginning with
New England. This work has been
placed in charge of w. ]. Spillman Of
the office Of farm management. The
first seasons work will commence this
summer. The boys will be given a
measured acre each, and will be fur
nlshed with instructions from the de-
partment as to growing and cultivat-
Ing the crop.
What the result will be Is, of course,
still impossible to foresee, but, judg-
Ing from the success of the corn club
movement, it is likely to be of value.
This corn experiment was the con-
ception of the late Or. S. A. Knapp.
In the three years of work while he
was alive the number OF boys in the
corn clubs increased to $4,000.
The average corn crop of the United
States is about rs bushels to the acre,
but some Of the boys raised as much
as 22S bushels to the acre, at a cost
Of about 40 cents bushel, including
charge for their own work. Some
Df the crops that ran more than 100
bushels an acre cost only cents to
produce.

VALUE OF COLD STORAGE.


A st. Louis dealer declared to a con.
vention of egg and poultry men that
at is the cold-storage men who In
sure cheap eggs instead of high-priced
ones, as some legislators would have
us believe Were 1t not for cold
storage, eggs would go to one dollar
a dozen in winter, and in some places
would be absolutely unobtainable,
says the Omaha Bee. OF course, cold
storage boosts the price occasionally
in the summer; but II It did not. farm
ers In that season could not get more
than two or three cents dozen for
their eggs" No doubt much OF this
is strikingly true. The cold-storage
plant is, indeed, leveler OF condi-
lions. not only for eggs, but many
other articles Of produce, and, when
properly conducted. with the purpose
of serving natural needs and condi-
lions, the cold storage becomes a
most valuable economic factor. The
trouble is that It is not always so con-
Quoted. Its potential harm equals its
potential good, and, unfortunately.
selfish rlen have exploited this fact
to their own advantage and the con-
sumers' detriment. 1t is this misman-
agement of the cold-storage system
itself against which remedial legisla-
ton is directed
