Then again there Is another matter
that enters into the economy of the
feeding question, and that is the mat
ter of selling the cattle before they
are finished. There are times when
it will be more money in the feeders
pocket to sell the cattle when they
are just off grass, even though the
price seems small compared with what
corn-fed cattle are selling for.
Farmers who are going into the
business would do well to raise a
high class of feeding animals and feed
only what they can handle to the
most profitable advantage on their
own farms, and sell when the prices
are right.
Sell when just off grass If the price
is right and grain foods are high.
Feed well on variety of well cured
alfalfa, clover and corn stover and a
liberal grain ration.
Raise the breeds best adapted for
the one special purpose and keep in
close touch with the market condi-
tions in relation to both feed and beef.
If the cattle are to be full fed, Sc
iect the full-feed period with intelli-
gent discrimination and precaution.

Use the handle from a broom, or
stick of about the same size, for the
center support of the umbrella-bower,
and by means of two strips of wood
about II inches long splice the UNI

Run cord around the ends of the

eye of each rib, or sewing it to each
eye IL the cord is too thick to thread
1t through. Then bury the end of the
broom-handle in the ground to a depth
of inches, and with 1t in position
take more cord and tie a piece to the
end of each rib, and piece halfway

run over the frame, beside the stakes,

the vines grow, so the vines will

OF COURSE FARMER
SHOULD KEEP SHEEP,
Profitable Method of Getting Rid
of Weeds Is to Sell Them in
Mutton at sc a Pound.
(By G. D. LYoN.)

Some men were looking over a
weedy pasture and one of them said:
What shall do with these weeds?"
Quick as a flash his neighbor said:
Sell them in mutton at cents a
pound"
Every man knows his own business
best and can best decide what kind of
stock will pay him the greatest profit,
but on most farms there is room for
small flock of sheep and at the end
Of the season the money the wool and
lambs will bring will be that much
clear profit.
Going back to the first proposition,
that of the weeds that infest our fields
1t may be said that while growing
sheep entirely upon weeds, Is not
plan to be advised, they will eat
,, nearly every weed that grows upon
farm and will put on good, solid fat
upon stuff that cattle and horses re-
| fuse.
The most tractable of all farm stock,
they can be managed with less trou-
BILE than other stock, all that is re-
Quired to restrain them being wire
net fence of the cheapest grade.
The other day l was talking over
the sheep question with some friends
and while we did not agree as to
breeds, we were unanimously in favor
of the breed of sheep that will bring
a good heavy shipping lamb with the
fleece secondary consideration.
This is the very season to think of
starting flock as a great many flock
masters sell off some ewes as soon as
shearing time is over, and unless
man has plenty of means in these days
he will have to start with such ewes
as he can buy on the market, thor
oughbreds being almost out of the
question for the ordinary farmer.

The practise of many farmers of
driving team through cold water to
wash the filth from their feet and legs
is dangerous, as 1t causes many dis
eases that they are subject to.
A warm or overheated team should
not be put in cold airy place. but
first exercised and then blanketed
and put in warm stable and after the
blankets are removed the horses
should be wiped dry with straw or
cloths.
When a team has been exposed to
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1914-06-26

rains they should not be left to be-
come dry. but should be rubbed dry,
as chills. fevers and other ailments
often result from allowing them to dry
by the evaporation of the moisture
from their bodies.
If we would allow the teams more
rest at noon we should accomplish
more work than when they are al
lowed only time to swallow their food.
At evening let them be well groomed
and their legs, bellies and feet be re.
lieved from all mud and filth.

A community must be bound to- gether in some way that 1t may nave a common interest and that it's peo- pie may cooperate for the purpose of materializing plans for the common good of all.
 There are various ways of accom- plishing this, such as the organizing of clubs and lodges and forming un- ions, always for the purpose Of pro- noting the common good of all, but no plan has worked out like the ed iting of a local newspaper. It not only takes the place of lodge or club, but is actually better for the enjoyment and information that may be obtained from a local newspaper for dollar or two year costs ten to fifteen to get out of a club or lodge; but the local newspaper does not only look after the individual af- fairs of the community but sees to the personal affairs of individuals. Thus if farmer wishes to sell certain product he can have all ad. put ia the vant columns and thus finds ready market for only few cents Of his money and q moment of $ time and one of the greatest prob lens Of #tbe farmer is practically solt- ed by the local newspaper, that is, the problem ot finding ready mar ket for ais products The merchant or druggist, or in fact any business man. could hardly get along without the local newspaper. for if he has any new goods he tells the people about it through the local newspa Der. But there is still another great use Of the local newspaper It has subscribers not only in the commun- states and thus if any improvements are made the world knows it, and what the financial world thinks of community regulates the value of property to a great extent and neth- ing helps 10 do this more than a live, local newspaper Capital will find it's way where prosperity is seen to shine and how can prosperity shine more easily than by having a live newspaper One of the greatest things that has handicapped Arkan- sas development is the lack of eapi- tai, and the 10 al newspapers have done more to bring capital into the state and to el n nate this condition than any 3aer one force in the state.

 Inasmuch as Bro Young always took an active part and manifested a lively interest in all matters per taining to our beloved Order, and
 Whereas, his thorough knowledge and principles rendered him not only wise counselor, but also typical Odd Fellow-typical in the practice of it's virtues, but likewise in the ministrations of tbeneyolence and charity" Therefore
 Be it Resolved, That We as mem- bers of New Era Lodge No. 36 real ize the great loss we have sustained in his decease, and wish permanently to record our full appreciation of his manly qualities, his breadth of mind, and superb grasp of principles, and h noble practice of the tenets or our fraternity.
 Resolved That We will cherish the memory of his deeds of kindness, will emulate his virtues and ever spread the mantle of Friendship, Love and Truth over such foibles as are incident to human fallibility.
 Resolved, That this preamble and resolutions be spread upon the per manent records of this Lodge, a copy of the same be handed to the family Of Dr. Young, and that one copy be sent to the Springdale News for pub- lication.
