AS swine growing Is the natural ad-
junct Of dairying. 80 sheep is the ma
tural accompaniment Of extensive
wheat farming. The ability to utilize
and turn to account what would other
wise be waste products is the determ-
ming factor in each case.
The by-products Of the wheat farm
are weeds. volunteer grains and
grasses. weed seeds, shrivelled grain
and straw. The first four. sheep will
utilize to better advantage than will
any other kind of live stock, and only
beef cattle and horses will surpass
sheep in turning wheat straw to &C
count
Another reason why sheep should
appeal to the extensive wheat farmer
Is that once he has installed the pro-
per equipment such as fences, open
sheds and watering places. they inter
fere little with his field work. In fact,

PROPER CARE OF UTENSILS
Success In Serving Appetlzlno Dishes
Depends Very Largely on Perfect
Cleanliness.

There may sometimes be observed
in the cooked dish a loss or navor'
not bad taste. but lack OF what Is
appetizing. 1t would be interesting TO
know in how many cases this comes
from the lack of cleanliness In uten-
sils and methods.
Personal cleanliness is. OF course.
essential in the kitchen. and every
good housekeeper endeavors to main
tain high standard in such matters.
Some food manufactures make special
effort to secure cleanliness and n.y.
gienlc surroundings, and the good ex-
ample they set should be generally
followed.

but of such additions to the food as
are disgusting. In this matter some
food manufactures are cleaner in their
methods than are our kitchens. In
one large bakery, where Information
was collected, the rule is In force that
every employee shall wash his hands
on returning to the room after leaving
ii for any purpose whatever.
The running tap. like the shower
bath, offers a great improvement over
old methods OF washing. Few will
have patience to fill and refill the
hand basin until the hands are bathed
at last In clean water. but this result
is easily accomplished under the tap.
The nail brush and nail cleaner must
have their place In the kitchen. and
their use must be insisted on before
bread or cake is mixed and after work

need for exercising great care In

the outside OF the posts. This ar
rangement makes burrowing under
and vaulting over the fence from the
outside very difficult. A woven wire
fence Sc inches high with one strand
of barbed wire above 1t is usually sui
ficient for inside or cross fencing.
The next step is to secure the right
kind OF sheep. When selecting these
two things should be kept we'll in
mind. They must be of breed that
are noted for being quick to get on
their feet after being LANDED, else
they will require a great deal of at
tention at Landing time, which, com
Ing as 1t does in the midst of seeding
the farmer can i'll afford to give. and
they must be well wooded on the I'M
der line, else they will spend toe
much time about the shelter during
the winter months; they will require
much more hand feeding and be much
more likely to contract disease than
they would If they got out every day
on clean ground and in the clear air
and sunlight.
In managing flock Of sheep II
should be remembered that variety
of feed is indispensable. When they
are on succulent feed, they should
have daily access to dry roughage:
when they are on dry feed they should
have occasional access to something
succulent. A little attention to this i'm
portant matter will prevent loss from
indigestion which has probably caused
greater losses among farmers fiocks
than any other ailment. A field of ma.
tive prairie or Of bronze grass in which
there Is pile of straw or q rack OF
hay to which they can go at will. in
order to get a change OF feed while
cleaning the summer fallow. and an
other field sown to winter rye early
in August, to which they can go oc
casionally for succulent feed during
the winter and spring months, are all
that is necessary.
A word of caution may not be out
of place in this connection Turning
a hungry sheep on wet rye Is very
likely to result In bloating. There

access to the rye field. be sure that
their appetites are fairly we'll salts
fed and that all dew and raindrops
are dried off before the sheep are
turned in.
The present Is a favorable time to
secure foundation stock, because they
can still be purchased at moderate
prices. The sheep ranchers OF the
western states are reducing their
herds because Of scarcity Of pasture,
and the large numbers going to mar
ket are keeping prices at low level;
but once this reduction OF herds stops,
prices will rise. They will probably
not soar as have the prices of cattle
and horses. because the frozen nut.
ton OF Australia and New Zealand
will be drawn on to prevent excessive
ly high prices, but the trade that re-
fuses to accept the frozen article is
sufficiently large to permit OF a ma.
terial advance in mutton prices, and
this advance is sure to take place as
soon as the big ranges have been de-
pleted.

LITERALLY FAT
FOWLS IN FALL
0ver-Fed Hens Are Subject to
Serious Troublesome Rem
edy Recommended.
CBy MRS. c. C. THoMAs)

Most fowls are literally fat in the
fall. particularly those that have free
range because they pick up so much
grain, weed seeds. grasshoppers and
bugs and as the grain IN the field
ripens it is strong temptation to
over-feed the poultry.
Over-fed hens are subject to in
hammation of the egg passage. and
this is q very serious trouble.
Feeding ground pepper or other
stimulating poultry feeds to force the
laying Is almost certain to produce
Inflammation. The so-called egg feeds
advertised are many of them without
value. IN fact they are harmful.
When the egg passage becomes
congested the hen may burst a blood
vessel In her efforts to expel the egg
and a few days later she will show
signs Of weakness, the comb will turn
dull, the temperature fall low and
the bird will die.
The first symptoms are the droop-
ing of the wings. roughing OF the
feathers and loss Of energy.
1t is good plan to keep the pullets
and the old hens separated because
the hens fatten much quicker than
the pullets on the same feed.
II a hen is suffering from inflam-
nation Of the egg passage. the egg
must be removed soon or the bird
will die. This may be accomplished
by covering the finger with vaseline
and inserting 1t into the egg passage,
meanwhile pressing gently on the left
side with the other hand.
Usually this will expel the egg and
then the passage should be washed
out with a weak solution OF carbolic
acid by means Of a small syringe. A
tablet Of homeopathic nux vomica-
loo given In the water for two or
three days will effect = complete cure
The hen must. of course. be fed very
tightly for some time until her flesh
has been reduced
