HANDY BAG HOLDER
SAVES MUCH TIME
Light Materials May Be Used in
Construction of Device for
Granary or Barn.

Every farmer should have some kind
OF a bag holder, SO that grain, chop or
bran can be sacked without requiring
the services of a second person. A
square or round hopper, stationary in
some corner Of the gTanary or a NOV
able one supported by three spreading
legs is easy to make and handy to use.
Light material may be employed in
making such holder.
The height OF the hopper from the
floor is regulated by the length of the
bags used, as the bottom of the bag
should not rect on the ground while
being filled.
Dull hooks or nails of such length
and position as judgment dictates VIII
hold the bag while It Is being filed.
Such convenienees as these are simple.
but they save not only time but much
needed energy.

properly attended to, may die.
Prevention of course should be prac.

cases Of impaction occur, If instrad of
feeding the cut grass, the chickens arc
allowed the freedom of the grass plot.
Treatment should be sought in con-
sulting the local veterinarian.

Except when snow was on the ground
they preferred being out In the hills
and brush foraging in the winter to
housing and feed in the barn.
This spring we had six lambs from
lambs are fat and in fine condition and
excellent health. We sheared and
shipped the wool last week, securing
2S cents a pound for It from a ST.
Louis commission firm. The clip from
the nine sheep gave a net return, aft
er expressage and commission were
deducted, OF $21S5. or a little over
S2.42 each sheep. for wool only.
This was about so per cent of what
the sheep cost us last August when
they were purchased. Counting the
lambs worth So each by August, the
total income from the flock Will
amount to $51S5. Deducting $3.50
for feed, the flock will have netted
us SAG in one year. or even 100 per
cent net on the original investment.
which is from two to ten times az
much net profit as we make with any
other of our farm animals.
Besides being highly profitable
sheep are the easiest of all domestic
animals to handle. Our children like
them immensely. and can handle them
with ease and safety. They clean the
land OF weeds and sprouts, and they
fertilize richly as they roam and for
age. They are SO good in so many
ways that we are preparing to in
crease our flock TO SO ewes on the 100
acre farm.
Of course, sheep and wool are extra
high in price right now, but indica.
tions point TO continued high prices.
Those having hilly and rocky land can
turn it into rich income property by
fencing 1t and pasturing with sheep.
Money from the animals comes in nj

paid $50 and $40 for the ram, making
a total cost of $46 for the little flock.
Since we had the pastures already
fenced with woven wire for hogs, cat
tie and horses, there was no extra ex-
pense in providing pasture for the
sheep.
In our brushy and sprouty pastures
the small flock Of sheep ate and grew
spendidly, refusing feed in the lot or

living on the waste of the farm and

AN EVENING OFF
BY LOUISE OLIVER.

Priscilla laid Gerald junior in his
crib. tilted the bottle to just the
proper angle and snatched soft lit
tie handkerchief out of her belt just
in time to prevent very bitter tear
from dropping down on to the wee
pink cheek on the pillow.
Gerald senior had just gone out,
slamming the door as most males do,
considering the same a fitting finale
for a marital row. This was their
first quarrel, and Priscilla felt that
the earth was shaking under her feet.
She slipped into kimono and sat
down by the window. 1t was not quite
dark, but the street below was very
quiet: so was the little fiat-just
soft, contented sound from the crib i'm
the corner. The silence added to her
loneliness. or course little Gerald was
the dearest, sweetest, most precious
darling in the wide world, but after
she had cooed and kissed and patted
and rocked all day, to say nothing OF
the ceremonious bath and airing in tho
perambulator, she felt it her privilege
TO associate with people of her own
age, after baby had settled himself to
sleep all night; preferably Gerald
senior, but-and this was what the
trouble was all about-he had a drug
store, and no one could be trusted
with the precious prescription factory
from a. m. until IL p. NJ daily but
himself. Priscilla was left to amusa
herself as best she could
Suddenly someone threw up a win
dow in the building next door and
strains of music came floating over
TO her. She raised her own window
in order to hear better. 1t was a
waltz, and. looking up, she caught a
glimpse now and then of passing
dancers.
Gerald junior was sleeping now. She
took away the bottle, covered him
snugly-and then she went to her
desk. Long ago she had tucked away
an engraved card somewhere in a
pigeonhole. She found it under the
baby's weight chart.
