stead. The relatively small number
hat is kept on the average farm is
one of the remarkable things about
he live stock industry in the United
States. The totals of this class of
stock are not much more than they
we're so years ago. This is all the
more remarkable in view of the ire
nendous expansion that has been go
ing ON in almost every line OF agri-
culture.
Sheep should be kept on the average
farm to aid in keeping down weed
life. When weeds are young and
sappy the sheep are in sense .insati-
able devourers of the same. There are
but few kinds of weeds that they
will not trim down and consume and
turn into good mutton if they have
access to the same at a comparatively
early stage in the growth of the
weeds. When other pasture is not
Dverabundant this cropping down of
weeds will be more complete than
under other conditions. They will
even keep down, at least in consid-
cradle degree, the growth of Canada
thistles when thus managed They
are equally ravenous also for the
seeds of the weeds. When these have
been formed and even when mature,
and when weed seeds have been de-
vOured by them, they are so finely
ground that they do not grow again
when dropped upon the ground.
have watched sheep when first turned
into a grain pasture to see what was
their first choice. when such weeds
as lambsquarter were present and
quite young and succulent, they
would take these first in preference to
the grain.
They should be kept to consume the
waste products. On every farm these
abound more or less. They abound
not only in the form of weeds, but in
the form of grasses of various kinds.
These are found numerously in the
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1913-05-22

grain fields after the grain has been
reaped. They are found in the high
ways, beside the farms, and they are
found along fence borders whatsoever
may be the build of these. The sheep
that are given access to these will
virtually clean up everything and in
good form. The food thus eaten
would otherwise be wasted, at leaGt
it would in large measure.
They should be kept to supply meat
for the household. The farmer is
much prone to confine his meat diet
to salt pork, and largely for the rea-
son that in this form meat is most
easily kept. Where sheep are kept
upon the farm the farmer may have
fresh meat and OF a delicious char
acter by killing and dressing occa-
sionally a mutton from his flock
With good place TO keep such meat,
as an apartment in an ice house, he
may enjoy such meat in warm
weather. But even In the absence Of
such a place he may partake of such
food during much of the year--that
is, during all portions of the same
when the weather is cool enough to
enable him to keep such meat in q
good condition. In this way much OF
the meat may be grown to meet the
needs of the farm from products that
would otherwise be wasted
Sheep ought to be kept because Of
the influence which they exert upon
fertility. No class of animals kept
upon the farm will equal them in the
favorable influences thus exerted.
This arises first, from the readily
available condition in which the drop
pings reach the SOIL second, from the
scattered condition in which they
reach the land, and, third, from the
general distribution of the dropping
over the land. In this way sheep
leave the land richer in available fer
tility when they Craze upon it than
it was when the grazing began. Thus
it is that the proverb has arisen that
the sheep has a golden hoof. And 1t is
founded on the truth.

Crepe Waists.

A college girl who wore cotton crepe
waists to save her laundry bills; had
difficulty in rendering them wearable
at first, as they were too limp if not
starched at all and, if starched, wiring
ing them made the starch uneven,
says the Modern Priscilla. She ex-
perimented until she found that by
washing them in thin starch and hang
ing them up to drain on a coat hang
er, without wringing, they were ex.
actly right.

MAN WHO IRIFTED ON
By GEORGE pArrllIo

While we dawdlsd in the shade cast
by the wagon. the Bantys told US their
history II was that OF restless wan
derers who constitute a neverceasing
caf@tan from as far east as Louisiana,
vending westward and north through
Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and
Arizona They find a virgin country,
break it. and nature heaps her boun-
ties in their laps. Then comes a bad
year, and they have made no pro-
vision or the spirit Of the rover, that
will not die, wakes once more; again
their wagons take their whining way
through the wilderness.
Surely the goal will prove fabulously
rich; always that hope-it never burns
out The memory OF starvation can
not dim; hardships and distance do
but fan 1t; 1t fires their souls as the
lure Of gold tempts prospectors. And
on their heels comes the plodding
farmer, who goes patiently to work to
wrest a living out OF the claims
they have abandoned, and wakes,
some morning. to find that civilization
Is knocking at his door and he is
