Finds Weed a Sheen Food

Remarkable success achieved by Y c. Mansfield of Endcott Wash. in fattening sheep on the long-despsed Australian salt bush bids fair to revoutionize the sheep-raising industry in the northwest. says the New York Times. Other farm CTS on whose acres the weed grows now regard what was formerly thought worth- less land as a real bonanza. and are pre- pairing to turn their attention from the raising of hogs and wheat to sheep
 The salt bush Is found along highways from Arizona to Washington. but few persons know it's right name. In eastern Oregon it Is geenrally known as the Pen dieton food weed. and has been looked upon such pest that there is law against allowing 1t to go to seed
 According to MT. Mansfield however, it is of more value to eastern Oregon than alfalfa. for not only Is 1t a better feed for sheep but 1t will grow on arid land, and requires practically no atten- ton after once getting a stand, as it grows in hard firm soil better than on loose. well-cultivated land
 Mir. Mansfields experience is unique. For years he farmed 5000 acres of land, all of which was wrehat land with the exception of 150 acres, which were sub irrigated alfalfa land. Finally this land became so foul with missiles and John Hill mustard that this. with tife high cost of labor and the low price of wheat. made 1t impossible for him to continue longer to grow wheat aion-.
 Accordingly, two years ago he decided to invest in d flock of sheep. and it was while driving these home that he made the discovery which he has since turned to such good account. Beside the road near the Mansfield farm the salt bush grew in abundance, and to Mir. Mans fields surprise the sheep began feeding upon it greedily. He figured on the spot that he had destroyed $500 worth of sheep feed for that year, besides wasting labor. in trying to get rid of the weeds.
 Last summer he pastured his entire flock of 1000 sheep on the salt bush with astonishing results. The sheep were not exceedingly lat. but their wool was of q superior quality. Several neighboring farmers with small bands of sheep fol- lowed MT. Mansfields experiment. and their sheep were also in much better shape than those that were taken to the mountains during the summer,

denly in full tide from beneath the ground and after an cphermerai course disappear again into the earth as strangely and suddenly as they were born. This natural heak has a simili- tude in literature. Many centuries ago there sprang into existence in Provence a body of sweet singers who roamed the country charming with their melody and living by their lays, They were the trou- badours of the south, who were imme- diately followed by the troilVeres of northern France. and tue minnesingers of Germany. In less than two centuries troubadonr. tfonvere and minnesinger had disappeared. ther going being as mysterious as was their advent The spirit of these men seems to haunt Car eassone and one may almost feel their presence in the city. The upper town can not be deserted for it is people hy these same sweet singers. With the trouba- dour to have failed to see Careassonne was to have passed life in vain and as l sat. beneath the shadow of the towns old castle my muse wove for me these lines:
 An old man staggered on the road,
 His weary form was bent
 Beneath the weight Of so years.
 To this his soul gave vent
 "1ve ne'er seen Carcassonne."
 Upon the hills the city stands,
 On mountains blue il lies;
 It glitters white in diJtant lands,
 But weary he who tries
 To reach fair CarcassDnne,
 There basks the grape beneath the sun
 And yields it's golden store;
 There purling, silver rivers run
 Before each lintled door
 In happy Carcassonne.

There every day q sunday is
 And this my vision greets- In shining robes of spiendor full The people walk the streets
 of far-off Careassonne. There walls of castles greet the ais As Babylon of old, And battlements Of brass are there. Oh. could I but behold
 Just once sweet Carcassonne. Cpon the road the old man died: He never reached the gate Ah, life Is full of cities such:
 It is each mertals rate
 To ne'er see Careassonne.

An Old Turnpike Abolished

 new wall built to the north of every summer. and he will shortly have the high gates of Tsarshoe Selo made still higher. These are signs and sym bols of his latest hermit-like place. At the new palace at Livadia, whence he re- gently returned, were other hermit inno- vations, such as sound proof doors in the west wing where he works and for this he brought all the way from France the architect, Robert Chaudet.
 These operations mean that Nicholas II is withdrawing more than ever from human life and realizing the nickname given him by his subjects after the mas sacre of January, 1905 -"Schimnik Niko- la,'' the Hermit Nicholas. For three 'kyears Nicholas ventured only twice out sof his palace cell, and then to St. Peters, burg. Later he made some centenary journeys, showing himself to few. and fugitive tours through Italy and Ger many. This qualified return to the world got bad check by the assassination Ns 1911 of 6tolypin. Since then Nicholas has been more hermit than ever. When the Romanoff tercentenary was celebrated last year only few thousand frightened 4 subjects saw sieir autocrets frightened face over the heads of menac.ng sol- diers. Now even the motor car tours around the palace heve been curtailed, and Tsarskoe> selo becomes more and more monastery of gloomy people who are allowed small communication With the outside world and who keep theif mouths discreetly ehut.
 Russians are reminded of Nicholas hermit-like existence by the change in she command of the palace.
