MANAGING SHEEP IN WINTER
Where the Weather Is Severe Ample

Even at the far south, sheep should
be provided with comfortable sheds
and in those portions where SHOWS
fall, and the food is destroyed by frost
hay and roots of good quality and in
abundance should be furnished. Where
the winters are severe, shelter and
food must be provided. The sheep
should be brought to the pens early
in the season. At the very first OF
the feeding season, the Oldest and
poorest of the flock should be separat-
ed from the others and put upon high
er keeping. They should have grain
in abundance and be made ready for
the butcher as soon as possible. Too
many sheep must not be kept In a
single pen. If the pens are small. or

HOUSEHOLD DUTY AND LOOKS
london Woman Advocates the One az
Being Certain to Lead TO
the Other.

A London woman appears to have
hit upon q sure way to make house.
hold duties palatable. The scheme
may not be novel. Perhaps it has
been tried many times. The London
woman, however, gives it a freshness
and seeming sincerity that are very
attractive. In the first place there
must be an ostensible object in view.
The London woman refers to this OBJ
ject as a systematic course of indoor
exercise at home. What does she
hope to secure by this systematized
exerciseY The creation and preser-
walton Of beauty. There you have
it. What goal could be more allur-
ing9 Does the system require a GYM
nasium, a running track, the usual
paraphernalia Of indoor exercise2
No. Its parallel bar is a broom
handle, its dumbbells are brushes,
its scaling ladders the front and
back stairs. Listen to the London
woman. "A good blood circulation
is stimulated by bending to scrub
floor or a table, and a good circula-
ton means good health"
Yes, and it means good looks, too.
The London woman rounds her arms
by busting, lifting chairs and NOV
ing rugs, and brushing down the
steps and sweeping floors. She gives
herself a finer carriage and steadier
gait by carrying wood and coal TO
the domestic hearth. = Cleveland |

MAKE ALCOHOL OF POTATOES
One Reason Industry Has Not Ad-
vanced IN United States IL Be
cause Of High Price Of Tubers.

(prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricuiture.)
That the Manufacture Of alcohol
irom potatoes has not yet become es-
tablished in the United States is due,
to various reasons. The price OF pota-
toes marketable for other purposes
has been too high, and no sufficient
supply of culls and surplus potatoes
has been available. The average price
for distilling potatoes in Germany for
the Eve years 19O6-1910 was 1873
cents per bushel. II is probable that
the farmers there would be less dis.
posed to grow the crop II IL were
not for its indirect benefits, including
the feeding value OF the mast left
after the distillation of the alcohol.
according to the department of agri-
culture.
The potato-drying industry In Ger
many is the last development In the
utilization Of surplus potatoes, and
came about only through the absolute
necessity Of finding an outlet for the
surplus production that could not be
consumed by the starch and alcohol
factories. The rapid increase in the
number of potato-drying factories in
Germany shows great promise for this
young industry, and should merit the
careful consideration of our people
as to whether the time has not al
ready arrived for the introduction of
this method into the United States,
at least on an experimental basis. The
problems to be met relate mainly to
the present cost of the labor in pick
ing up and delivering to the factory
the potatoes not marketable for table
purposes. In many cases, however, ii
is necessary to remove these culls
from the field to prevent the spread
of potato diseases, and it would seem
that the drier would pay for the labor
involved. The dried product is adapt
ed for many purposes. Not only cattle
but horses have been fed the dried po-
tstoes as substitute for grain With
perfect satisfaction.

ERRORS IN MANAGING SOILS
Soil AeIdity ls Responsible In Many
Instances for Failure Of Seeding
Of Alfalfa and Glover.

To be careless In the treatment OF
the soil is as fatal to profitable agri.
culture as to be indifferent In the care
Of live stock upon the farm, writes A.
r. Whitson, chief of the State Labora
tory, established by the last legisla
ture to aid Wisconsin farmers.
We seem content to stop with the
knowledge that there is something de
cidedly wrong with our fields. We
know that at one time they yielded
much better crops, but we willingly
rest with the conclusion that they are
wearing out" Large areas Of soils
even in this state are acid, and, as
consequence will not yield as plenti-
fully as they should. We have to de-
termine by means of a very simple test
whether or not our fields are acid, and
If so, apply a known and dependable
remedy.
When a farmer finds that he cannot
get a good stand of thrifty clover on
his land, when he sees that certain
weeds, such as corn spurry and sheep
sorrel, grow readily in his fields, he
could, by obtaining a small quantity Of
blue litmus paper at his drug store.
easily test his own soil to find If it is
acid. Soil acidity is responsible, in
many instances, for the failure of seed
ing of alfalfa and clover.
Growing in soils well supplied with
lime these plants are able to obtain the
nitrogen essential for their growth
through the work Of certain kinds of
bacteria or germs which penetrate the
smaller roots, forming Jumps or swell
ings, called nodules. Each OF these
nodules is a tiny chemical laboratory,
in which nitrogen gas is built up into
compounds for use by the plant

said. Their lives are made better
and more fit for the hereafter. and
the parents are happier themselves
with such a life In all cases the
parents should deal justly with the
child. If a child does wrong and con
fesses to the wrong its parents should
recognize the confession. Always be
ready 70 forgive when the child con-
fesSes.
The parents should in every case
lead the way in the living of a
Christian life. They should be in
