There should be few sheep on ev-
cry farm. 1t is always admitted that
few horses, or q few cattle, few
pigs and some poultry must be kept
on every farm because they are nee
essary and economical--why not
sheep? II the dogs bother the sheep.
shoot the dogs. Perhaps. says bull
letin issued by the organization OF
Illinois Farmers Institutes, the chief
reason for not raising more sheep Is
that most people do not understand
them. but they are easily understood
when one begins to deal with them.
A farmer in southern Illinois told
the writer that his flock paid S5.7 per
cent. on the investment. He said that
the lambs each year sell for as much
as the mothers cost and that the wool
pays the cost of keep. Each year the
flock produces as many lambs as there
are ewes. A 100-pound lamb sells for
seven dollars, as much as the mother
cost The mother will shear q nine
pound fleece that will sell for $3.50,
and this will pay for the keep of the
eve and the lamb. The average eve
will weigh 100 pounds, and at five
cents will bring six dollars. profit OF
S5.7 per cent. on the investment.
Sheep delight to clean up neglected
places--in the potato patch, the pig
lots. the stubblefield. fence rows and
everywhere. In Minnesota 1t was
found that out of $50 kinds OF weeds
there were only fifty kinds that sheep
would not eat
The best time to sell a sheep is
when 1t is a lamb. IL 1t weighs so
pounds, is fat and has the quality, 1t
will sell as a prime lamb at any sea
son of the year. This is the popular
weight for market lamb, but it must
be fat; II 1t is not fat it will be dis
eliminated against Alfalfa hay and a
little grain or corn silage is a good ra-
ton for use in finishing lambs for
market. The quality OF lamb is in
dictated by short legs, fine feet and
compact form.
Male lambs should receive atten-
ton when from eight to sixteen days
old. and neglect means that the lambs
will bring less money on the market.
With a meat animal shortage of
several million head in this country,
and with the price of meat fast put

NEW WIRELESS EXPERIMENTS
Government to Test Limit of Capacity
Of High Power Station at Airing
ton, Va.

The scout cruiser Salem, one of the
three fastest vessels of her type In the
world, has been detached from the
United States Atlantic fleet, and has
sailed on voyage across the Atlantic
to undertake the most extensive wire
less experiments ever carried on by
the navy department. The purpose of
the voyage is to test to the limit of
its capacity, if possible, the govern
ment's high power wireless station at
Arlington, Va. An attempt will be
made to keep the Salem in communi-
cation with the Arlington station
practically all the time. both day and
night, while she Is steaming across
the Atlantic. Those who designed the
station did SO with the idea In mind
that when operating at its highest eff
f1ciency it would be able to communi-
cate direct with London, Berlin, Paris
and other European cities. and also
that it would be able to establish d.
rect communication with the great
station the government Is to erect on
the Isthmus of Panama. Likewise, 1t
is believed that eventually the sta
tion will be able to establish COM
munication with any warship In the

SEVERAL SUMMER
FEEDING PROBLEMS
Intelligent Provision Gives Sub
stantiaI Advantages to Live
Stock Farmer.

Although the question OF summer
feeding has become one of the most
important in the country, so far as
many farmers are concerned. there
are many who, in my opinion, miss
some of the main points altogether.
An intelligent provision for summer
feeding gives substantial advantages
TO the farmer.
Less land Is used for pasturage and
consequently the percentage OF waste
ls reduced. II there is a saving in
the amount OF land it simply means
the use of less capital In this branch
Of agriculture.
In other words farm OF 100 acres
should yield as good results as one OF
$50 acres under the old methods.
OF still greater Importance perhaps
Is the matter of keeping up the milk
supply to contract requirements and
that of maintaining the growth and
strength of live stock generally.
In the early part of the season
when pasturage growth is rapid AMI
nails waste fully as much fodder as
they consume, but by midsummer the
dry weather is pretty sure to curtail
the growth of grass to such an extent
that the milk supply Is lessened and
flesh and growth are impaired.
The conclusion is that the farmer
should not depend on pasturage after
the first of July and therefore only
SO much land should be devoted to
grazing as may be needed In the most
favorable part of the season.
The problem of supplying summer
fodder can easily be settled by the
cultivation OF the part of the pasture
land which is saved Young stock
will then obtain uniform growth while
by the same means a dairy will keep
up IT'S milk supply.
Should the whole season prove IA
vorable for pasturage much Of the fod
der raised for summer feeding may
be sold in the market or the dairy
may be enlarged.
A silo is good auxiliary in provid
ing for either summer or winter feed
ing and there are various methods
along the line of intensive farming
which will enable owners of cattle to
use less land and at the same time
attain the results desired.

Keep the cultivator going in the po-
tato patch, keeping away far enough
at the last to prevent injury to the
growing tubers.
II bugs attack the crop, spray with
paris green. No plant can grow with
out leaves, and when the potato has
been defoliated that ends it.
If blight attacks the plants, spray
with Bordeaux mixture, says Spray
Calendar. Blight Is as fatal as the POI
tato bug. 1t is now well known that
potato rot is disease that starts in

Tasmania to Have $1,000 HORSEPOWER
Sufficient to Develop All Her
Industries.

When the water power OF Great
lake, In the center of the Island OF
Tasmania, is harnessed to electric
generators the island will be almost
completely electrified.
The Island OF Tasmania is located
south of Australia. Its area is a lit.
tie over $4,000 miles and it has a
population Of 191, 900. In the middle
of the island at an altitude of S.4oo
feet is the Great lake. storage reser-
voir provided by nature herself.
The area of this sheet of water is

between May 20 and June / and mil
let should be seeded in the same field
by July l. thus insuring an extra crop
on the ground.
Fodder corn may also be grown in
the latter part OF the summer on a
field that has produced rye. These
late crops are valuable addition to
the winter supply.
There are various methods by which
the owners OF live stock can secure
double crops without wearing out the
land.
Alfalfa averages three cuttings each
season. the first crop being ready
early In June in the more northern
sections. This Is one of the very
best fodder crops for dairy cows after
it has been partly cured.
1t ia unwise to allow cattle to forage
on alfalfa, as 1t is likely to cause
bloating, and at any rate the waste
from trampling is large.
1t is the business of the farmer to
plan months ahead for his winter fod-
der and when this point Is settled in
his mind he will be free to give such
attention to summer feeding as the
state of his pasture makes necessary.

industry of Illinois will be profitable
for many years to coma, and a 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 generally accepted principle of
feeding that 1t 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 1t 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 1t. 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 1t gets enough water to keep II
alive, a sheep still does not get
enough water to keep 1t In the very
best growing condition nor to keep
all its bodily processes going on in
the most effective manner possible.
