SHEEP TO REDUCE
COST OF LIVING

Spokane, April Especial. )-Sheep
should be cultivated as a potent agency
for reduction of the high cost OF Nv
ing, in the opinion of President e. A.
Bryan. of the Washington State col
lege, who has caused to be issued
special bulletin dealing with sheep rais-
ing and the preparation and cooking
of mutton for family USE AT present
farmers use bacon or cured pork most
of the year, or go to the markets and
pay high retail price for fresh beef'
said President Bryan. If they had
sheep, their tables could be supplied
with fresh meat almost the entire
year. These grain farms of the Spo-
kane county are capable of feeding
great many sheep at little cost There
is no meat so good for the farmer as
mutton 1t sometimes requires lit
tie time to acquire taste for mutton,
but once acquired it often Is preferred
to any other meat If the farmers OF
this part of the Pacific northwest
will raise sheep on their grain they will
add not only to their profits, but 10
their convenience and comfort of their
homes by assuring fresh meat for the
table"

coinage. Our coins are losing the an
pearanee of beauty and dignity, begin

Everything necessary and desirable in
coins is being sacrificed to somebody's
