Industry of Illinois will be profitable
for many years TO come, and few
sheep on every farm will help to de-
crease the shortage, clean up waste
places, conserve fertility and increase
the bank account.
Experiments carried on with cattle
showed that cattle given plenty of
water with their pasture contained
more moisture and less dry matter
than did the carcasses of cattle given
pasture, but no additional moisture.
1t is a generally accepted principle OF
feeding that it costs more and more
to produce meat as the moisture de-
creases and the dry matter increases.
From this we are able to deduce the
fact that it costs less to grow the
steers that had plenty of water, and
SO made watery carcasses, than 1t did
to grow the steers that had no water
other than that in their food and re-
produced dry carcass.
What is true in the cases OF steers
would hold equally true in the case
of sheep. Sheep given plenty Of water
will produce mutton more cheaply
than will those deprived of it. Muscle
expansion will be more active In the
one case than in the other. and that
is another reason why mutton pro-
duction would be cheaper.
There is considerable water in any
of the pasture crops that sheep eat
and they get still more moisture from
the dew that collects on the grass
blades in early morning and late eve
ming; but from these two sources
while it gets enough water to keep II

Ventilation Needed.

Cows require ventilation just the

farmers do not think so. judging from
the odor and heat that meets one upon
first entering the stables. Yet they
should not be cold. Means should be
