CBy ELMER HENDERSON,

(By ELMER HENDERSON,
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 1t costs from So to So per year
to keep a sheep and that the fleece
would Just about pay that. Others.
pessimists, say, that the losses from
keeping sheep are so heavy that there
10 absolutely no profit, due to the raw
ages of disease, vermin and internal
parasites. Between these two will be
found the middle way that seems to
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
to the country standard will support
one cow or it's equal in weight of other
grazing animals. In other words an
acre of good pasture land will main
tain 1000 pounds Of COW, sheep or
horse flesh. The average corn-belt
eve will weigh, say 125 pounds. This
means that an acre of land will fur
nish nourishment for eight ewes dur
ing the entire pasture period of six
months. If the land rents at So per
acre, as it does in this part of Illi-
nois, we have the cost Of maintaining
one eve as ST. per summer.
We may count clover hay as STAN
dard winter feed, and given plenty Of
nice clean clover hay, no other feed is
needed Our field 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 allowance; eight sheep fed
180 days, three pounds per day, will
eat considerably less than what one

TWO CHURCHES MAY JOIN.
Presbyterian and Methodist Congrega-
tions Consider Federation.

As result Of the recently inaugural
ed move for a federation of the local
churches it is said to be likely that the
Presbyterian and Methodist congrega-
tions will join hands along the plans
originally outlined. The other churches,
it is said, after giving the proposed
merger some consideration, have de-
clined to enter into the alliance. It is
probable that the congregations of the
two churches concerned, the Methodist
and Presbyterian, will reach definite
decision soon.
The proposed bylaws and constitu-
ton of the federated churches are as
follows:
Article Name.
The name of this organization shall
be "The Federated Church" (Metho-
dist and Presbyterian and ...........)
of Grangeville, idaho.
Article 2-object.
The object Of this organization shall
be the more effective and economical
carrying on the work of the kingdom in
this community than may be possible
within UNCONVENTIONAL lines.
Article Composition. s
This Federation shall be composed Of
the Methodist and Presbyterian con-
gregations and such other demonina-
tional bodies as may desire to enter the
Federation, provided that the identity
of each organization shall be preserved,
no one being required to sever their con-
nection with his or her church.
Article 4-Continuance.
This Federation shall be entered into
for not less than one year or more than
three years and may be dissolved at the
end of any year by either body giving
notice three months previously of their
desire to withdraw.
Article 5-Autonomy.
The complete autonomy of the Fed
Grafton shall be secure. Each body
composing it, however, may continue in
unbroken relation with the general
church of which it is a part and sup
port its domestic and world wide work.
But in all local matters the Federation
shall be absolutely independent.
Article 6-Pastor.
The pastor shall be chosen from or
dained clergymen Of recognized evange-
lical churches and while serving as pas
tor of this Federation shall not be re-
quired to sever his connection with the
ecclesiastical body of which he is a
member. He shall be elected and serve
for such time as may hereafter be pro-
vided for in the Bylaws.
Article Property.
All property held by each congrega-
ton at the time of the organization Of
this Federation or at the time Of en-
trance into it shall remain in the pos
session of and under the control of the
particular congregation to which it be-
longs until such time as that congrega-
ton may see fit to dispose Of it or
merge it with the property Of the Fed
Grafton, provided that such property in
the interim may be loaned or leased to
the Federation for its use in carrying
on its work. All property acquired by
the Federation shall be controlled by
and in the possession Of the Federation

shall be dissolved when it shall be dis
posed Of to the highest bidder and the
proceeds divided pro rata in proportion
