sins Of omission and commission in
which the author decried the importa

SCHEME FOR MARKING SHEEP
BY Series of Notches Any Numbers
Desired for Farm Flock May
Be Easily Obtained.

Notching is a good way to mark
sheep, and it is quite frequently used.
Notches upon certain parts OF the ears
indicate certain numbers, the sum Of
the numbers represented by the
notches being the number Of the
sheep. By a series Of notches any
numbers desired for the farm flock
can be obtained. Numbers up in the
hundreds involve a rather complicated
system, but these are not usually nee

slider the fact that figures show the
loss from the boil worm in some years
at $15,000,000; potato beetle, 100000
600; cotton worm, $3O,000,0OO; chinch
bug and Rocky Mountain locust each
500, 900, it is very evident that
birds which make them a considerable
portion of their food are too valuable
to lee killed just for sport.
AS a scotland weed-destroyer its
mission is scarcely less important.
The food capacity of each bird is
estimated at half ounce per day.
Some one. taking Virginia for the
basis of computation and allowing
four quails to the square mile finds
that in that state alone 573 tons of
seeds are consumed by quails during
the months from September l to April
80. Some of our worst weeds are
also included in the list, as grab
grass, black plantain. cookie, orange
hawk-weed, rag-weed, fox tail, wild
morning glory and bindweed
Though a prolific race, quails have
other enemies than the gunner to
work for their extinction. One of the
most common is heavy snow, cutting
off their food supply. AS they are
ground birds, heavy snow followed by
rain or sleet often forms a crust I'M
der which they are hopelessly buried.
The farmer who scatters grain free
ly about the yard in time of heavy
snow will find that they are as regu-
lar feeders as his domestic fowls. and
the little care given for the short
period required pays in pleasure as
we'll as in dollars and cents.
