A hat box of strong cardboard and

out at the front and above them an

markets as unfinished, and finishing
them for the market. seems to be the
most desirable branch of the business
for the eastern farmers. AS the sheep
business expands in the ranch country.
so must the feeding business expand
among farmers in the states farther
east.
This business has survived through
its profits from the beginning, and is
increasing every year.
The most successful feeders make
a practice Of buying good lambs early
in the fall, in order that they may
utilize their homegrown forage also
SO that they may get the lambs start
ed to gain before the period of full
feeding begins.
When good feeders are purchased
early, it is possible to secure a gain
of from eight to twelve pounds per
head during the fall. at very low
cost, and this is not the only point to
be considered; they are in much better
condition to put on full rations. and
will make more rapid gains than
those purchased late in the fall and
put on full feed at once.
During the full-feeding period they
will thrive better If kept in punches
of 40 or so: and in order to do this
the shed should be subdivided, with
their food racks instead of board par
titions. thus making a saving of room
and also of expense. and for practical
utility 1t is better than board parti.
tions.
The yards and sleeping quarters
must be kept dry and clean, as impure
air and dampness are two things that
a sheep cannot stand and make good
gains. The feeding troughs for grain
should be fastened to the feed racks.

PROFITABLE USE OF MANURE
Result of Test Carried on at Missouri
Experiment Station Covering
Period Of 25 Years.

(By c. A. LIE CLAIR. University of Mis-
souri,. College OF Agriculture.)
larger net return per ton of ma
nure was secured from applications to
timothy meadow land than to corn.
oats or wheat in rotation in a 25-year
test at the Missouri Experiment sta
tion. In experiments conducted on
fields in nearly every section OF the
state the use of from six to eight tons
of barnyard manure per acre once dur
ing each four-year rotation gave an.
nual returns of from $1.60 to $40
each year for each ton applied.
Even heavier applications than the
supply on the average farm would per-
nit have proved financially profitable.
From a field which received seven
tons per acre each year. 34 tons of
timothy hay were cut July 1, 1915. and
n second crop of 2.S tons on Septem-
Der Is Of the same year or a total of
6.2 tons per acre as compared with
1.9 tons on an adjoining field similarly
cropped but unfertilized. On both
fields the cropping had continued n
quarter of a century without change
Of conditions.
The abundant rainfall this year
made possible yields that would not
be obtained during years when lack
of moisture limited the use the land
could make of such abundant plant
food, but these tests show that even
in ordinary years the manure can well
be applied to the timothy meadow as
well as to the corn as has generally
been believed

MAKING MONEY WITH BUTTER
Some Important Points Which Arc
Often Neslected-It Takes Time
to Work Churn Properly.

Everybody can make butter that
brings money, but everybody does not,
simply because all do not live up to
a few plain yet very important points.
Here are some of them:
Getting the cream is fun compared
to ripening it right. To ripen prop
erly, cream ought to be cooled after it
comes from the milk till about the
time it is to be churned, and then
ripened fast. Bring it to 65 degrees.
keep it there till 1t has a sharp acid
flavor then hustle it into the churn.
Often you think the quicker you can
do the churning the better it is. You
do not like to churn, anyhow. But
there is such a thing as being in too
big hurry. 1t takes time to churn
right. So just mosey along; keep the
churn jogging, but give the cream
chance to tumble from end to end
with every revolution. 1t is the con-
cussion that knocks the butter out of
the cream.
To do the best work with the churn,
do not have too much cream in at a
time. A churn that is too full does
not get all the butter out of the cream.
So you lose, and lose heavily. No
churn ought to be more than half
full-less would be better.
And then keep your hands off but
ter you hope will bring the gold.
Handle it with the ladle.
Wash good and clean-then your
butter will keep longer.
Pack in jars that are spick and
span. and there is no reason why you
should not bring home a good bit of
money every time you take butter to
town.

The warm looking and dainty
bootees shown in the picture will be
easy to make by those VINO under
stand crocheting. They are crocheted
of white zephyr and shaped to fit
over the knees. A beading is worked
in near the top and narrow pink satin
ribbon run through it makes it pos
sible to tie the boots SO that they
will not slip down.
A novel and very pretty touch is
given these bootees by the tiny pink
rose buds that are embroidered on
them with silk floss.
Little wooden hangers are covered
with cotton for a padding and over
this light satin ribbon is shirred. The
hook is wound with the ribbon and
the hanger finished with a pretty bow.

KEEP ACCOUNT OF CHICKENS
Farmers, as Rule, Have No Idea
How Their Poultry Pays-keep
Track Of Eggs and Fowls.

The majority Of farmers have little
idea how their poultry pays. Little
or no account is kept, and If kept 1t
is in hit-and-miss manner, more
often missed than counted. Try keep
ing an account not only of every egg
and chicken sold, but every egg and
chicken used in your own kitchen.
II you had to pay for the eggs and
the chickens consumed you would
soon wonder at the expense and order
a curtailing Of an egg and chicken
diet. Keep a yearly account, and
well, it will not seem that you are
wasting feed at all on those chickens.
