SHEEP ON
IRRIGATED FARMS

Let the Sheep Weed the Farm for You
With the general decrease of meat
crease in population throughout the
United States, prices have gradually
increased TO a point where livestock
men are eagerly taking up the posi-
bilities of increasing the supply of
more and better meat producing ami
mails.
In comparison with European prac-
tees our farmers are wasteful in their
general operations: moreover, they
overlook in many instances the little
leaks which oftentimes mean success
or disaster.
Sheep on the Farm.
Sheep are natural scavenGers for
/ weeds and grasses. Their use in con-
nection with the grazing of weeds and
grasses along irrigating bitches and in
fence corners is overlooked in Nevada
I at the present time, due, no doubt, TO
the unsatisfactory types of range
sheep used by small farmers. and the
/ comparatively small areas of arabic
land. The operation of the, larger
holdings on the open range as well as
in the irrigated valleys has also over.
Swallowed to some extent the posi-
bilities of small bands of sheep on the
irrigated farm.
With the advent of more depend
able water supply for irrigation and
the increased cultivation of land

appear along bitches in ever increas
ing numbers. Gophers are also gradu
ally increasing in numbers as well
The expense of keeping bitches clear
and in repair, and the vigilance re
quired in keeping the woods from
spreading is Of great concern to all ir
rigating farmers. Many bitches are
improperly constructed, due to the ma
tural looseneSs of new soil, making i
difficult to carry large head of irri
eating water without breakage. Higl
types of bitches are often necessar.
and are always a source of expense il

moreover. gophers which had long en-

Sheep naturally enjoy variety of

the grass and weeds closely. but will

Possible Value Of Sheep as Ditch
Cleaners.
II has been stated that we have, APP
proximately, $4,000 acres of land I'M
der cultivation in Nevada. a conser-
vative estimate of the sheep carrying
capacity of the present waste lands
along canals, laterals and small farm
bitches. including those for waste
water and drainage, would be $4,000
head. Sheep pasture is worth at least
ten cents per head per month during
the growing season, SO that the gross
returns from pasture If used for sheer
would be nearly $4,000 annually.

RANGE FOR YOUNG CHICKENS
Problem Of Supply Green Feed Does
Not Receive Sufficient Attention
From Farmer.

The problem of supplying a range
or green feed for chicks does not re-
ceive sufficient attention. This is an
important side Of the proper rearing
OF poultry and the farmer who has
sour skimmilk to spare and a good
green range has more than half his
chick problem solved.
For temporary feeding, one car soak
pats overnight in water, wash them
thoroughly next morning and spread
them In half-inch layers in boxes or
trays. Place these trays in the shade
outdoors and sprinkle with water twice
daily In from three to six, days the
pats will be ready for feeding. For ba-
by chicks feed whom the sprouts are
one-half inch long, giving once daily
what the chicks will eat in about ten
minutes.
Rape may be sown and, when grown,
u UP and fed to chicks. Cabbage,
lettuce. mangels, beets, turnips can al.
SO be used for green feed.
The only really satisfactory way.
however. to supply green feed and a
good range is to sod n piece of land

ground and dropping a piece of Ber-
muda sod every 10 inches, and to put
some burr clover into this Bermuda
