PROPER HANDLING OF a HOE
Light In Weight, Easy to Use and
More Effective Than Any Other
Implement on Farm.
CBy L. M. BENNINGToN.)


So many people have horror of
using hoe. 1t Is the most comfort!
able implement to use in the equip
ment of a gardener or farmer, and it
is handy to use for SO many purposes
that one cannot get along without it.
Probably one reason that people do
not like the hoe is that most hoes ex.
plain at once how dull as a hoe" came
into proverbial use.
A dull hoe is certainly not a pleas
ant implement with which to work.
The good gardener will keep his favor
lite hoe filed to sharp edge all the
time. 1t Is impossible to grind a hoe
on grindstone because the bevel
must be on the upper side of the blade
when it Is in use, in order to make
the hoe bite" into the SOIL
File your hoe, making the bevel
about twice as wide as the thickness
of the blade. Then keep It bright and
when you go out after weeds the hoe
slips through the soil 80 easily that
hoeing is not much like hard work
In hoeing, a long, slow movement
should be made, II the soil is In good
condition. Simply "scuffing" half an
inch Of the top soil is enough to kill
weeds and one can go over a lot Of
ground in one day II the hoe is sharp
and bright and the strokes long and
smooth.
With sharp hoe one can cut this
ties, dock, dandelions and other nox-
ious weeds, with qulckness, dispatch
and ease. 1t is light to handle, easy
to use, and more effective than any
other implement for many purposes.
In choosing hoe, select one the
blade Of which lies, not quite fiat on
the floor when you are standing erect,
with the hoe handle extending from
your hands when in working position
to the floor. The heel Of the hoe
should not quite touch the floor from
this position.
Such hoe will bite into the soil
easily, when 1t is bright and sharp and
will work smoothly and effectively.
Sharpen the hoe as soon as 1t gets
noticeably dull. This will be hard on
the hoe, but 1t saves muscle and hoes
are cheap. Carry small fiat file in
your pocket and do not allow q nick
to stay In the hoe a minute after 1t is
made.

KEEP SOME SHEEP ON FARM
Get as Good Ewes as ls Possible to
Procure and Never Use Any But
Pure.Bred Buck.

Ten to 20 ewes will be enough on a
120 to 20O.acre farm, unless 1t is de-
cided to make sheep the leading farm
stock; as the natural increase from
these will soon build up flock.
Get as good ewes as you can pro-
cure, and they will probably be grades,
which is all right. but remembering
that the male is more than half the
flock. never, never use any but pure.
bred buck
The novice can easily get some repu.
table dealer who knows the kind of
ewes wanted to procure him the
needed number, and ! advise against
starting in to learn the sheep business
with too large flock, but to begin
with few animals.
Ten good ewes can be had for about
$50. the buck will cost $40 up to as
much as you are willing to pay. and
10 lambs next July. will bring you
the cost OF the whole, but this is not
good business.

Alfalfa-Fed Sheep.

sured. II will also be possible to se-
cure visits and bids from buyers when
such number is promised. The
lamb clubs OF Tennessee, notably the
one at Goodlettsyille, have proved
very successful in this work.
The same organization can also be
used In disposing of the wool.
In countries where economy in farm
management has been studied long
time. the sheep Is considered to be
necessary in utilizing vegetation on
such waste lands as are not wet or
marshy. But the sheep can hold its
place on high.priced land as a meat
producer alone. Compared with
larger animals 1t has some important
advantages. First, the lambs mature
very rapidly, being marketable at
four months OF age or later, accord
ing to breeding and feeding. This is
an economy because larger proper

than do other animals. Many of such
plants are detrimental to pastures and
would otherwise require hand labor
to hold them in check. Third, grain
waste In harvesting can be entirely
recovered by sheep. These facts
prompt some farmers to claim that
the summer food OF sheep costs moth
Ing. because what they consume would
otherwise bring no returns.
Compared with hogs tho sheep has
an advantage In the wider variety OF
materials 1t consumes. Being n
ruminant It make its gain with a
minimum of grain and expensive con-
centrates. This Is especially impor.
tant on those kinds OF lands that are
better adapted to the production of
forage crops than to grain growing.

SHEEP RAISING PAYS
LACK OF ATTENTION IS CAUSE
OF MANY FAILURES.
Good Reasons for Expecting Continue.
tion Of High Prices for Mutton
and lamb-Demand for Wool
Is on the Increase.

The consumption Of mutton per
capita In the United States Is increas.
ing every year, though the amount
used Is much less in proportion to
other meat than in Europe. There
are good reasons for expecting a
continuation Of good prices for
mutton and lamb, and the demand for
wool also may be expected to increase
more rapidly than the production.
These facts are brought out in a re-
cent letter from q specialist Of the
department Of agriculture to a south
ern farmer who inquired regarding
the possibilities of the sheep business.
The departments specialist called
attention to the fact that while farm
raised sheep have often not been
profitable, this has usually been be-
cause Of lack of proper attention and
management. Variations In price Of
wool and mutton have stood in the
way OF such general interest in sheep
as would cause them to be regarded
MS highly as they should be in the
future. Ranges all over the world are
now carrying about as many sheep as
they can support under n strict range
system, and an increase In the pro-
duction of sheep products must come
mainly from farms. Here, then, Is
the farmers opportunity to take ad.
vantage Of the increased consunp-
tion of these products.
While mutton can be produced at
low cost and there is a growing de-
mand for it, difficulty in selling may
be experienced in sections where the
amount of live stock produced has
not been sufficient to make 1t worth
while for regular buyers to operate
Slaughtering plants that can handle
carloads are within reach of all Sec
tions, and IL a sufficient number OF
neighbors combine to have 100 lambs

tion to ship jointly the returns are as
