RANGE LAMBS
RETURN PROFITS
Feeder Not Only Matsea Money
ON Feed. but Secures Large
Benefit From Manure
Dropped.
lBy w. N. Kelley

The great advantage OF feeding
lambs is the fact that the home
grown forage and folders together
with the otherwise waste products of
the farm may be turned to profit
This may be done with minimum
expense for the purchase of highly
concentrated by-product foods and
mill-feeds that are required to make
satisfactory fattening ration. for
other kinds Of stock.
Feeding range lambs like other
branches Of sheep feeding is sure to
become more popular as farmers ap-
preciate the necessity Of cutting out
the purchase of large amounts of
grain food and feeding class of live
stock that are capable of turning
their grain food and forage that is
grown on their own farms to profit.
Practically every line Of feeding
that is conducted outside of the corn
belt states has been developed upon a
basis CT cheap grain foods and now
reached price that makes their use
almost out of the question. the aver
age feeder is finding his profits grow
Ing smaller.
The men who have been feeding
sheep have not felt the rise In grain
prices as severely as other feeders
because sheep can be put In good con-
dition with smaller quantity of grain
and concentrates In feeding range
lambs the feeder not only makes a
profit on the original cost Of the
lambs, but as well on the cost Of the
food which is grown on their farms,
and In addition there is large return
of fertility to the soil, when the man
{ ure is carefully handled
In England this branch of feeding
has been conducted for many years
and 1t has been found a very profit
able way to increase the fertility OF
the soil as well as a profitable way to
utilize grain, grass and root crops.
Many of the English feeders buy our
corn, oilmeals and even hay and
derive a substantial profit from their
feeding. Is 1t not fully practicable
and possible for the farmers of this
country to conduct the same line OF
feeding when they have every requi.

The public generally knows that the
government has outlined a plan to
encourage the breeding OF horses for
the army whereby mare owners In
suitable sections will have the COM
mand Of service to f1rst-class stations
free In return for which they agree
to give the United States options on
resulting foals at a fair price The
plan was taken up as means to pro-
vide good supply Of horses such as
the army needs. which, strange as 1t
may seem, is rapidly becoming more
and more limited An appropriation
was suggested at the last session of
congress, but no action was taken,
one objection being that the plan was
not practical that farmers would not
enter into such agreements with the
government.
Fortunately, funds were available to
make an experiment to determine this
point. Mr. August Belmont, of New
York, presented to the government
two Of his best-known stations, Henry

While there can be no question but
that West Virginia offers exceptional
opportunities for the producing OF
fruit, there are some very important
preliminary points which Should be
carefully studied by prospective
planter before he embarks upon an
orchard enterprise of any extent.
1t would be better to delay the plant
ing iE order to give more thought to
the location of the orchard, the choice
Of varieties, and the thorough prepare
ton of the land, than to plant without
giving to these fundamental steps the
attention they must have to insure
success.
The factors to be considered in
choosing a site for an orchard include;
markets, transportation facilities,
adaptability of the soil, elevation and
exposure.
A good local market is valuable
asset. If it is necessary to ship long
distances, good transportation facffi'
ties should be near at hand, preferably
competing lines CT railroads, or both
rail and water routes. Hauling fruit
over long distances, particularly If the
roads are bad, is a serious handicap,
although, If varieties are chosen wise
ly. this may be partially overcome
The soil should be adapted to the
fruit to be grown. Land that is too
steep, too rocky, too low, too wet, or
too poor should be avoided as insult
ed for fruit culture, or the care OF
which is too expensive.

The preparation of the orchard soil
should be thorough. On level sites the
land should be plowed deeply as early
in the spring as 1t can be worked. It
should be narrowed Immediately after
blowing to conserve the moisture, to
level it, and to put it in good shape for
laying off the orchard" Where there
is danger of washing, the blowing

partment of Agriculture placed them

vicinity of Front Royal. Virginia. on
exactly the terms outlined in the gov
eminent plan.
BY the approval Of the war depart
ment. the price to be paid for the
resulting foals at three years OF age

convenient system of orche I'd planting
is the square system, in which the
rows run at right angles to each other
and each tree forms the corner Of a
square or rectangle. By placing a
tree in the center of the square form
ed by each four trees, we have the
Quincunx system. This nearly doubles
the number of trees per acre. In the
hexangonal system, preferred by some,
each tree forms the angle of a triangle,
each side of which is equal to the dis
lance between the trees. This system
allows for the planting Of Is per cent
more trees to the acre than the square
system, with the same distance be-
tween the trees in each case.
In the contour system, which is well
adapted to hillside planting, the trees
are planted in plowed strips which fol-
low the contour of the hill as nearly as
possible on the same level and each
tree in one row is placed opposite the
space between each two trees of the
adjacent rows This system allows the
trees to be cultivated with a minimum
danger of washing the soil.
Orchards often fail to produce the
crops they should because the trees
were planted too closely. Thirty feet
should be the minimum distance be-
tween apple trees, and this should be
increased to forty feet on strong land
or with the large-growing varieties.
Pears, plums and cherries should have
twenty feet each way. Peaches are
planted at eighteen or twenty feet
apart
The age of trees to plant is an IN
settled question. The small tree is
cheaper, has smaller root system to be
injured in digging, and also requires a
smaller hole for planting, and the head
may be formed at any height to suit
the growers fancy. Many growers ia
