MAKING MONEY WITH SHEEP
Cost Of Raising Is Small Compared
With High Prices They Bring
Increase Fertility Of Soil.

The cost of raising sheep is small
compared with the high prices they
command or with the cost of produc-
tion OF any other farm animal. The
Lincoln, Cotswold and Leicester are
probably the three largest breeds of
sheep-if any favor in size the Lin
coin probably has it. A practical
breeder says: ''If / want a large-grow-
ing lamb. to put on the market at six
or eight weeks old, will use larger
breed than the Soathdown, which 1
might use if / was after q mutton
chop. For such lambs l am partial to
the Oxford, but the Hampshire might
give as good satisfaction" Sheep are
good medium for increasing the fer
tility of the farm of the man of limited
means. A dozen ewes, properly cared
for, will soon raise lambs enough to
stock your farm with sheep. The esti-
mate is that five sheep can be kept
on what one COW will consume. With
good, bright, wheat straw and half
pound of corn daily, breeding ewes
and store sheep will winter nicely.
One of the difficulties in raising sheep

PROPER TIME TO WEAN COLT
Youngster Should Be Accustomed to
Eat Hay and Grain Before Re-
moval--Put Mare on Dry Feed.

The colt should be allowed to re-
main with the mare until it has be-
come accustomed to eat grain and
hay before it is weaned. In nearly
all cases it will be best to feed the
mare for at least several weeks be-
fore the colt is removed with ground
oats and Wheat bran.
Give the mare roomy, well-bedded
box stall, so the colt can eat beside
her, This is ,one of the easiest and
quickest ways of teaching the colt to
eat.
Give the colt good blue grass and
white clover pasture. but put the mare
on dry feed. This will help to dry
up her milk without causing swollen
udder
While it Is not necessary to par
ticularly push the growth of the colt,
1t is very essential that a steady
growth be maintained and generally
1t will pay to feed little grain, un-
less the pasture is unusually good
Ground oats and wheat bran, say one
to two pints per day, fed dry will pro-
mote growth of bone and muscle and
q well-developed healthy animal.
Corn is not suitable food for a
young growing animal.

Man of Many Duties.

A contributor to the Docket sends
the following concerning law of
North Carolina:
1T was probably surprise to the
justices of the North Carolina s.
preme court to learn the general as.
semblys opinion of their needs, as ex.
pressed in chapter 156 of the Public
General Laws of 1911 as follows:
"'Section l. That the fireman of the
supreme court building shall be ap.
pointed by the chief justice and as.
sociate justices of the supreme court
and when not engaged in his duties as
fireman shall act as assistant janitor
of the supreme court, and shall assist
in the cleaning and care of the su.
preme court and perform such other
duties as may be designated by the
said justices of the supreme court

IMMENSE QUANTITY
OF WHEAT TIED UP
There Win Still, However, Be a
Heavy Deficit of the Worlds
Normal Crop.

A grain expert who has been watch
ing the grain markets and the worlds
grain fields for a number of years,
says:--
There is at the present time about
two billion bushels Of wheat, the pro-
duction Of the countries at war, tied
up. This is about one-half the worlds
total production of wheat, which is
four billion bushels. One writer ar
CUES that, granting that the warning
nations produce one-half crop in
the coming year, a deficit of one bill
lion bushels will still be shown. The
three countries upon which the filling
of this deficit of one billion bushels
will rest are the United States, Can
ada, and Argentina. The combined
output of these three countries is only
1,249,0O0,000, their exportable surplus
would of course be much less, so 1t
can easily be seen that the question
is not one to be easily solved and it
behooves all the above countries to
increase their respective productions
as much as they possibly can, for
when the war is over and trade begins
to re-establish itself and the nations
undergo a process of rehabilitation,
the demand for all breadstuffs will be
enormous.
During the three years following
the declaration of peace the farmers
Of all neutral wheat-producing coun-
frfao will have 20
market their wheat at good prices,
and 1t may safely be assumed that the
demand will be heavy. Canada has
an unusual opportunity in that she
has the natural environment for wheat
production; she is under the protec-
ton of the British flag, and she will
not be molested upon the water to
any great extent; she can increase
her acreage and greatly enhance her
production. In other words, she can
become a far greater wheat-producing
country than she is at the present
time"
If the summing-up as made by this ex-
pert be correct, is there not the very
best reason for the continued effort
that is being made by the Government
of the Dominion of Canada to secure
settlers on the productive vacant
lands of the country? Not only are
these lands capable of producing high
class wheat in large quantities, but
cattle, pigs, sheep and horses also do
well. The climate is admirably suited.

FEEDING ALFALFA TO SWINE
No Better or More Practicable Method
Known Than That Of Giving Hay
to Animals In Rack.

There does not appear to be any
more practicable method Of grinding
hay for hogs than by feeding the hay
via good rack.
A few years ago some enthusiast
wrote story about alfalfa tea, which
he said was the finest thing on earth !;
that the tea extracted all the animal
food in the alfalfa and at the same
time left the plant food for the soil.
BY giving the tea to the hogs they
would gain their weight, and then you
could scatter the stewed alfalfa back
on the land The story found its way
into one of the eastern publications
and the western experiment stations
have been flooded with inquiries ever
since.

The necessity for conserving our na- stional resources has been occupying the attention of our legislators, na- tional and state. Laws have been en- acted to protect our forests and our water supply. Millions of dollars have been spent in controlling contagious diseases among our domestic animals, and to eliminate the boil weevil from the southern cotton fields and the vari. ous blights from our fruit orchards. What greater national resource has our country than our boys and girls. and why should not the government protect them from the blight caused by the use of intoxicating liquors ?- Congressman Addison T.
