from the following figures on an aver

Ice root shipped from Aleppo annually.
while Bagdad yields another 5000 tons.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOwsrIELD

Farmers who followed the advice
given In this department two years ago
In establishing focks Of sheep have
made money by the Experiment All
who have sheep and lambs to sell are
reaping liberal profits
The market has seemed too high In
recent months for successful feeding
operations, and this is an argument In
favor Of maintaining permanent
flock. for, while II pays, generally
speaking, to ship In and fatten lambs
and yearllngs, there are times like the
present when prices get too high to
make II a safe proposition. The clear
money is in raising the stock. Sheep
are thrifty animals, getting their living
to great extent In fields that would
not do for cattle. II has been demon
strated time ard again that mutton Is
produced much more cheaply than
beef.
The wool produced by q flock of
sheep will pay the whole cost of feed.
ing and housing. leaving the increase
for profit. II does not require a large
farm to be able~to turn of 100 head OF
sheep and lambs every year. This will
give net profit Of s7O0 to $1,000. Two
hundred or 800 head can be raised
without much extra work. Farmers
may succeed with sheep and clean up
q tidy sum Of money when they are
not equipped to handle dairy proper
ly. For the amateur and those with
small tracts Of land sheep are one of
the best features.

There are numerous sources of profit

as the sheep use a greater variety Of

of feeds depends to large extent upon

grazing stock keep in better con-
ditiOn and make better growth. In
our experience with sweet clover,
we have not seen single head OF
stock, either horse, cattle, of hogs,
that would not take readily to sweet
clover, both in pasture and in hay.
In fact, cattle and horses that are
grazing on the clover will leave
same to go to cured hay. In our
pasture this spring, the stock left
portions of same to grow up quite
rank and go to seed, and we thought
that it might be we would have to
run the mower over same, or prob
ably let these stocks grow and gather
the seed when ripe. But before we
realized il the stock began eating
those patches that were four or five
feet high and fully seeded out, and
grazed them down to the ground.

SWEET CLOVER
More Sweet Clover, More Cattle,
More Money

Our County Agent, Mr.. Spence, has
asked me TO give a short account OF
my experience with growing sweet
clover. II is not that | have
had any wonderful success with this
clover, but comply with the hopes
that more of our farmers will be pur-
suaded to seed at least small piece
of ground to it. | believe it is the
stepping stone TO better farming in
this section. We are all becoming
convinced that permanent improve
ment on our farms can only
be established through keeping more
live stock. How are we going to do
this is the thing that is puZzling
many a mans mind now days. Cow
peas, soy beans, sudan grass, millet,
cane, and other annual crops are all
valuable and have their place on all
well regulated farms, but as a general
thing they make rather expensive
all-round hay to feed on our farms.
To make money out of cattle we
must have plenty of good pasture
and good hay.
Several years ago, we seed a
small plot Of ground TO alfalfa. We
planted it late in the fall, after care
fully following instructions as given
in our leading farm papers. The
stand was good, but the late seed
ing did not allow the plants to get
sufficient root growth and as re-
suit, a great portion of the plants
"spewed" out of the ground in the
winter and spring. The plot was
reseed in the spring with alfalfa,
but the growth was not satisfactory,
showing that the ground was not
rich enough for il. The following
season, 1915, this patch was reseeded
with sweet clover. just sowing it on
the ground rather late in the spring. |
AS a result, the young plants were
a little slow in coming up, but we
got fair crop Of alfalfa and some
sweet clover, making four cuttings.
This spring the sweet clover
made a very vigorous growth, so !,
that we had 10 cut il little earlier
than was best for the alfalfa. In a
little less than a month, the clover
was ready for the second cutting.
The amount of hay secured,the quail
ity OF il and the way cattle relish il,
convinces me that, taking il all
round, we have no crop that will
surpass IL.
At the same time, we planted q
hillside OF about four acres in the
same manner as we planted the piece
spoken OF above, to be used as pas
ture. We kept all our stock on same
from the time it was seeded. Five
head OF stock ran on this field all
winter and were not kept of OF il any
time this spring. The pasture be-
gan 10 get good early in April, and
kept ahead OF the cattle so that a
little later, six more head OF stock
weryput on same. This made eleven
