DEFINITION or DRY FARMING
Principal Things Are Water Con

and System Of Rotation.

Dry farming simply means good
farming. There is no place In the
United States where crops are not
reduced 10 some extent every year on
account OF an insufficient supply OF
water. The principal things then In
dry farming are water conservation,
the proper selection OF drought re-
sistant crops. and a wise system OF
crop rotation, large proportion OF the
land devoted to forage and feed crops.
with a sufficient number Of animals to
consume all the cheap roughage pro
duced on the farm.
In controlling the water supply the
first thing 10 do is to get the water
into the ground and then prevent per

the land, II II does not blow, is adyis-

Dry farming consists Of: First, till

Of drought resistant crops and the

the selection OF crops suitable TO semi

MAKE PROFIT WITH
SHEEP ON ANY FARM
Properly Cared For, They Have
Fewer Ailments Than Any
Other Farm Animal.

For the man who has rough or poor
land with short pastures. sheep are
much more profitable than cattle.
On a farm OF 100 acres or over. II
pays much better to sell sheep as NUT
ton instead OF stock for other people
to fatten.
Sheep should be graded according to
size, putting the prime ones in a lot to
be fed by themselves. and II you are
determined 10 keep the poor ones put
them in a different lot and do the
best you can with then, Better sal
them. though.
II your ewes drop their lambs and
these are in need OF attention which
their mother cannot give them. dilute
cows milk with about one-third wa
ter.
There is nothing better for sheep
than clover, except possibly alfalfa.
Some farmers say they do not keep
sheep because they are subject to
disease. which is n great mistake; be-
cause properly cared for sheep have
fewer ailments than any other farm
animal.
No animal on the farm is an dainty
as the sheep when It comes to drink
ing water. 1t must be clean before the
sheep will touch It.
II you have had no experience with
sheep do not buy ram on your own
judgment, but get some man who
owns sheep to buy it for you. And
don't be stingy in the matter of ,rice.
The big fairs are great object les
sons which the farmer who tries to
keep up with the times cannot AFFORD
to miss.
II you intend to go into the sheep
business better go to the state fair

But Il is a mistake to Start hogs on
