strumental in making decision. II
winter lambs are to be produced a
breed must be secured that will breed
at the right season Of the year, and
not all will do this. The Dorset, Me
rino and Tunis have given the best
satisfaction thus far.
The popularity of breed will often
have its effect in influencing ones de-
cision. Some breeds have been de-
veloped under conditions that are
more general, or else they have a
wider range of adaptability than 9TH
ers. The popularity of S. al breeds
in this country is due to fact. No
better illustrations of these can be
mentioned than the Merinos and
Shropshires that are found from Maine
to California. Some Of the minor
breeds need men who will place them
before the public, as there can be no
doubt as to the effect of a wide-awake
breed association in advancing
breed.
1t is we'll before making selection
to consider carefully the most popu-
lar breed in your community. There
is usually some good reason for its
being popular, but occasionally be-
cause of a fashion breed will enjoy
boom" that it does not rightly de-
serve In some states at the present
time there are colonies Of breeders
handling certain breeds, and buyers
are attracted there because there are
excellent opportunities for selection in
the neighborhood There are also ad-
vantages connected with buying stock
near home The keen competition Of
fered by some of the classes in the
show ring has been lure that has
caused some men to take up a GER
tain breed. Others have been con-
tent to win more often in the smaller
classes where the winnings are easier.
Some breeds are regarded as need
ing more care than others; at any rate
they become more unsightly if denied
this attention. However, no flock
will thrive upon mismanagement.
Good appearance is always desirable,
and sometimes it is of prime impor-
tance. The use of sheep for keeping
the lawns of parks and country places
in trim has been in effect in this coun-
try for years and here attractiveness
is indispensable. The Southdown has
proved very popular for this purpose.

GARDEN In BACK YARD
EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS PRO-
pUcED FROM SMALL TRACT,
Plot of Ground About 80 by 40 Feet
In Size Proved Itself Worthy of
Time, Effort and Small Ex-
pense Put Upon 1t.

Fifteen miles from the busiest dis.
trict of the busy city Of Chicago, there
is small kitchen garden which has
produced extraordinary results. 1t Is
planted in a plot of ground about 80
by 40 feet in size, and has proved it.
self worthy the time, effort and small
expense put upon it
Almost all of the ordinary table
vegetables and fruits can be found
here, and this small piece Of ground
has been the means of distinct saw
ing in the summer bills.
Lettuce, radishes and onions were
the first arrivals, and came in such
quantities that the neighborhood usu-
ally shared in them. The amount Of
choice lettuce that can be raised In
4 by 6-foot bed lis surprising, and this
one afforded a constant supply Of
fresh salad material all the summer
season.
Onions of several varieties were
raised, and those that were planted
in the fall afforded an early crop be-
fore others were even out Of the
ground
In July the beets and cucumbers
were ready for use, and again one
may put forward the argument in fa-
vor of the small garden on suburban
lots, namely, that there is no compari-
son between the dried-up, expensive
store products, and the fresh, ever
ready vegetables Of your own growing.
In the early part Of August the to-
matoes ripen, and by raising two va
rieties there is a constant supply Of
them until the frost cuts off the RI
pening process, but leaves many green
ones which may be picked.
A small border Of parsley, and lit
tie patch of mint will do all the gar
nishing and favoring that are neces-
sary. Carried away by the automo-
bile fever, the old horse was sold and
a machine purchased in his place.
This left the runway empty, and in

SWEET CLOVER GAINS FAVOR
Increasing Attention Being Given Crop

prepared by the United States Depart
merit Of Agriculture)
For the past two years increasing
attention has been given to sweet
clover as forage plant. County agri-
cultural agents in several states last
year gave the crop some attention IN
an experimental way Those in Kan
sas and South Dakota we're partlcu-
larly active, and the results were so
satisfactory that the area seeded this
year has been enormously increased.
A report from Allen county, Kansas,
states that more than 1000 acres were
seeded in that county this year. Last
year farmer in Clinton county, Iowa,
conducted an excursion to farm Oil
which is grown annually 60 to 100
acres of sweet clover for hay and pas
ture on land worth more than SlOO
per acre. On June and 10 this year
two Illinois county agents joined in an
excursion to 300-acre sweet clover
farm in Ogle county, Illinois. One
county sent 81 automobiles with 100
farmers representing % townships. a
total of 45 automobiles made up the
train. Among the interesting things
done on the farm visited is the pas
turing of GO head of cattle on 40 acres
of sweet clover. The clover is also
used successfully as ensilage.

rightly named, in that the number of
berries borne on one vine is won
derful, when the size Of the vine is
considered.
Raspberry and current bushes, also
bore we'll, and SO it was-one fruit af-
ter another all summer long. There
are some grape vines which are as
yet too young to bear, but are very
promising.
The financial side Of this enterprise
has been very satisfactory. The sur
plus crop of cucumbers and tomatoes
netted $40 and the products of the
strawberry bed were worth s625, the
currants and raspberries were worth
another So.
Not to go into further detail, it is
fair to estimate that this small gar
den planted at an expense Of not more
than 81 for seed, has made return
OF about $50, beside affording many
hours of healthful exercise to the
family.
These results show how little pin
money" could easily be made by util-
izing the back yards of suburban or
city homes.

TAXES DUE

It's just one darn thing after
another-here it is time to pay taxes
again. If you are able to dig up
between now and March 18th you
get three per cent off. After that
date, taxes become delinquent and
bear interest at the rate of fifteen
per cent.
By the way, we wish someone
would explain why personal pro.
perty owners are furnished with a
statement of their taxes while own
ers of realty must dig up the descrip-
ton of their property and make
request of the county treasurer be-
fore they can find out how much
they owe the county.

SELL FOR $4,000
Head Of Herd Brings 500 at Grand.
view Sale-Big Crowd
Present

Editors of practically every paper
in the Yakima Valley were present
at the big stock sale and show held
at Grandview last Saturday and
helped swell the number from all
sections of Washington, Oregon and
Idaho who came to witness one of
the most successful sales of high
grade dairy stock ever put up at
auction in this state.
Forty head of high grade Hol-
stein cows, heifers and calves brought
an average price of 1926 under the
hammer. The highest price paid
was for the head of the herd, reg
istered bull which was purchased by
P. T. Burns, of Moscow. Idaho, for
500. The total proceeds of the
sale amounted to over $4,000.
The sale was principally of the
grade stock owned by the Grandview
Farms Co. of which w. w. Butler
is president. The stock was sold
for the purpose of providing room
for the registered stock which the
company will acquire.
The large warehouse provided for
the sale was packed to the doors
when Mayor Jack Splawn of North
Yakima opened the sale with a talk
on the dairy industry in the Yakima
Valley, urging on the farmers the
necessity of diversifying interests.
From the manner in which the an.
imals were sold it is evident that
Mr.. Splawn is not alone in his views
and that ranchers everywhere are
bringing their herds to a high stand
