Much has been written and said OF
the enormous profits to be made from
the keeping of a few sheep on the
corn belt farm. Some have figured that
II costs from two to three dollars per
year to keep a sheep and that the
fleece would just about pay that.
others, pessimists, say that the losses
IRON Keeping sheep are so heavy that
there Is no profit because OF the ra-
wages OF disease, vermin and inter-
nal parasites. Between these two will
be found the middle way, that seems
10 catch the bulk OF the sheep raisers.
AS a working basis, let us take pas.
ture. Pasture is at once the best and
the most economical sheep feed
known. An acre Of grass, according
10 the country standard, will support
one COW, or its equal in weight of
other grazing animal. In other words,
an acre OF good pasture land will main.

horseflesh. The average corn belt

tanning one eve as a dollar a summer.
We may count clover hay as a stand
ard winter feed, and give plenty OF
nice clean clover hay; no other feed
is needed, Our yield OF clover hay in
the corn belt for two cuttings is about
three tons per acre. On good farms the
yield is more, but we may take this
as representative. Three tons of hay
per acre means 5000 pounds of clover
counting that each sheep will eat three
pounds OF hay daily, which is big al
lowance eight sheep fed $50 days
three pounds per day, will eat consid
erably less than what one acre viii

eight dollars per acre will furnish

OF sheep. Cost per head so cents.
II we allow one-half pound of oats
daily during the months of February,
March and April, before the ewes are
on pasture. while sucking lambs, the
cost Will be 45 cents at the price of
oats at present. In conclusion II may
be safely said that the cost of main.

farms would be about two dollars and

which any well.managed flock should
do, 1t is readily apparent that the
fleece will about pay for the Sleeps
keep.
In good Shropshire flocks the ewes
raise an average of from one and one,
qihyter to one and one-half lambs per
eve. Place 1t conservatively at one
lamb per eve, worth at weaving time
from six to eight dollars, which may be-
said to be the profit for one eve. OF
course, there are losses in the eve
flock that will cut down the profits:l
ewes die and must be replaced by
younger ewes. Some age and lambs
must be supplied In their place; but
even then the good shepherd can count
on a profit of from four to five dollars
for every eve kept.
Since 1t requires two acres OF land
for eight sheep the income per acre
from the sheep would be about twenty
dollars net. A very fair income com
pared with that even to be made from
the cultivation of corn.
Sheep raising has the additional ad
vantage of involving less labor thar
does the cultivation of soil. Then, too
the land used for the sheep becomes
daily more productive, while that giveI
over to corn growing becomes poorer
and poorer each year.

THE ULSTER SITUATION.

1t is almost inconceivable that civil
war will break out in the British Isles
over the proposal to enforce home rule
on Ireland and, indeed, the reports which
come from many sections of the domain
indicate that the people are not greatly
excited over the present war-like move
ments and they refuse to believe blood
shed will follow. The precautions which
the British government has made in send
ing troops into the troubled district OF
Ulster are taken to mean nothing more
than demonstrations calculated to show
that the British government is deter
mined to stand by the amended PROPOSE.

sion. Both sides have pointed to the
Civil war in the United States in justi-
fication of their movements, but they
have failed to recall the terrible sacri-
fees of human life which followed the
outbreak of that warfare between coun-
trymen. Contemplation of those terrible
sacrifices is likely to halt both sides be-
fore actual warfare is resorted to and
blood is spilled.

library at Montpelier states that the
average Sunday afternoon attendance at
the reading room of the library dur
ing the year 1913 was "A persons, which
was considerably more than in any pre-
vious year. The increased attendance
shows that the opportunity is being APP
preciated more and more and it gives
promise that much good can be accom-
plished in a community by having the
reading room open during a few hours
on Sunday afternoon. The opportunity
is particularly appreciated by the visit

Now that it has secured settled poll
icy, the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad is expected to get back
onto it's feet, even though that policy
was forced upon it. Nothing so disturbs
the progress and prosperity of an en-
terprise as uncertainty. So for months
the New Haven system has been exist
ing merely from day to day, so to speak,
while awaiting the outcome of the nego-
tiations being carried on by its agents
with the government representatives.
With the acceptance of agreement be-
tween the comforting parties, the rail-
road may from this time proceed to re-
habilitate itself as the great volume of
business it receives will make possible
under careful management. It ought to
be the dawning of better day for this
sorely tried railroad.

CURRENT COMMENT
Activities in the Small Community.

Readers of this newspaper, we take
il, must be impressed by the evidence
it piles up from day to day, from week
to week, and from month to month of
the existence in the United States of a
great number of smaller communities,
as regards population, trade and wealth,
that are entitled to rank with the larg.
er communities as regards every form
OF intelligent activity it is often neces-
sary to bring into prominence the ma
terial side OF these communities that the
interest of the average reader may be
arrested With hardly an exception
they have interesting stories to tell of
growth in size, of industrial progress, of
business expansion, of municipal achieve
ments along material lines, that warrant
local pride. One after another they en-
phasize the fact that the present is
period of great material prosperity. But
if the stories ended here they could
leave behind them, for right thinking
people only unfavorable and disappoint-
ing impressions.
Fortunately. they do not end here.
They go on, rather, and with greater
warmth, tell what the communities are
doing in education, in art, in the adj
vancement of civics, in the promotion of
ethics, in the uplifting of popular taste
and the spreading of popular culture.
The really striking thing about these
stories is the revelation of conditions,
not in isolated instances, but in general,
that. regardless of what pessimists say,
establish beyond doubt, the survival and
growth throughout the land of whole
some intellectual and moral forces and
influences.
The activities of the hundreds of
smaller communities OF the United
States give fiat contradiction to the re-
Gently advanced theory that decadenee
has set in within these borders. Those
who see in this light, who think i'm this
vein. and talk in this strain, simply do
not know the real country and its real
people. There can be no decadence
where there are such exalted ideas and
purposes and such energetic, persistent
and unselfsh pursuit of them as the

Challenge from Hardwick 70 Spaulding

The Hardwick academy basketball
team disputes the Spaulding high
schools right to claim the inter
scholastic basketball championship OF
Vermont for the season of l9l3-l4, and
bases its right of recognition in fighting
for this title, not on the number OF
games won and lost but from the fact
that it has played most of the teams
that Spaulding has met and others
equally az strong and has been nearly
as successful, even defeating Burlington

The transfer of the old Boston Jour
nal from the hands of Matthew Hale to
parties who announce that they will run
the paper independently adds another
bit of evidence to the conviction that a
newspaper run purely as party organ
falls short of its mission and is not like
~ to be success from all standpoints.
The Journal has been confessedly run
as a Progressive party organ and has
devoted great deal of its energies to
the advancement of that party's inter-
ests during the past few months under
the Hale management. To dispose of
the newspaper after this short expert

mission that the project has fallen short
of the expectations of its promoters.
