Sheep Raising Profitable;
Bemidji is Central Point
For Good Pure Bred Stock

sheep at present is about equal to
the price Of one good COW. With the
present good prices for wool, the
fleece will pay for the maintenance
OF breeding eve and she will raise
one. two or three lambs. which with
the high prices for meat makes a
good net profit for the owner. Mr..
Clark, of the Clark Pole & Tie COM
pany, is authority for the statement
that we will never see cheap meat
again. This, together with the great
shortage Of wool caused by waste In
the European war, will undoubtedly
make the wool and mutton business
good for years to come. g.. ~. I
Get Pure Bred Sheep.
From what has been said, it is not
intended to give the impression that
it would be wise to give up the dairy
cow and stock up with sheep, but
rather to show that great many
more farmers might profitably keep
few sheep. E. E. Schulke of Ten
strike has good flock of sheep. Mr..
Schulke says that they are the most
profitable class of stock he has on
his farm. Other prominent sheep
raisers around Bemidji are Lawrence
Steinbrook. Frank Silversack. August
Jarchow, Peter Narum and Fred
Dudley. The Moore, Burke and Traf-
ton farm recently purchased four
pure bred Shropshire ewes and two
Shropshire rams. The production OF
good breeding stock will be of great
benefit to sheep in this community
and it ought to be profitable un-
dertaking for those concerned for the
reason that people for a hundred
miles in every direction are looking
toward Bemidji as a central point
where they may send and get good
pure bred stock.

(Bemidji School Agriculturist)
To every one who observes the
trend Of affairs on the farms in the
Bemidji country, the increase in the
number OF farms where sheep are
kept is noticeable. A sheep raiser Is
seldom found who is not enthusiastic
over the profit from this class of live
stock. Sheep are also q great help
In clearing up the farm and in in
creasing the fertility of the soil.
Sheep are often called the Golden
Hoof'' because they never impover-
tsh the land upon which they tread.
Sheep manure is worth more per ton
than any other class of manure ax-
cept that Of chicken and it is always
spread evenly over the land. Some
one has said that no spreader has yet
been invented that does such perfect
work as the sheep themselves.
Sheep are Profitable.
Sheep are one Of the most profit
able classes Of livestock The factors
which make this true are not hard
to find. In the first place they re-
quire less labor than any other class
OF farm animals. At lambing time,
which is the shepherds harvest, the
successful sheep raiser must be pre-
pared to give them considerable time,
but in the busy haying and harvest
time all that it is necessary to do is
to see that plenty Of pure water and
salt Is available and to count then
occasionally to see that none of them
are in trouble SecOndly less eynaD
sive buildings are required. If sheep
have a place that is dry and out of
the wind, they will not suffer with
the cold. Sheep require less outlay
OF capital. The price Of eight good

VERDICT
(By United Press)

New York, Nov 15.-The elections s
over, but the inquest isn't. Vance
Mccormick has lost interest in the
coroner's verdict and gone home,
leaving William Wilcox to sit up
with the body and hear the evidence,
IL he wants to.
One brilliant New York reporter
today IS still smarting from the
Democratic chairman's comeback to
his prepature inquisitiveness.
What" asked the reporter, do
you expect to get now that Wilson
has won the victory?"
"A great DEAL" said Mccormick,
''of Sleep"
1t is a question whether Chairman
Wilcox will get even that for days
and days
Old John w. Gloom, who ran him
self bow-legged all week, trying to
decide which Of the two chairmen to
stay with, was stretched out all over
the Wilcox sanctum today. The only
cheerful thing about Republican
headquarters is the decoration. No
body has troubled to e!face the pic
ture OF Uncle Sam lifting the old flag
out Of the dust for Hughes. They
have even suffered to remain un-
touched the merry Quip:
Elect Bill Jones for sheriff! He
kept US out Of jail!"
As for Democratic national head
quarters with it's STAFF Of 800 and
Its office building full Of mahogany
furniture, nothing remained but an
air Of victory. The last vestige OF
Democratic doubt ~ to Wilson'S vio-
tory has vanished and the great
rooms are as empty IN ditch dig

Many Farmers Expected to
Attend Farmers Institute
In Bemidji, Saturday, Dec. 9

Many farmers are expected to at
tend the Farmers Institute which
will be held at the high school build
ing in Bemidji Saturday, Dec. 8. The
Corn, Potato and Poultry show will
be held on the same day.
In previous years this institute has
been held about the first of Novem-
ber. This year it was Thought that
it would be good idea to extend
the crop show which is held Dec. z
and s in connection with the annual
meeting Of the N. NJ. D. A. over to
the ninth and hold the institute on
that day.
Last summer the merchants Of Be-
midji were invited to a big dinner
given by the farmers at the fair
grounds. On Dec. ninth, the Bemidji
Merchants association will try to
show some of its appreciation by fur
nishing good warm dinner to ev-
eryone who attends the farmers
meeting. This dinner will be pre-

pared and served by the girls in the
domestic science department of the
high school under the able supervi-
sion Of Miss Antoinette Olson.
The program will bear a close re-
lation to the crop show. The first
prize samples will be used to show
what can be done by selection.
The entire country has its eyes
on Northern Minnesota as a source
for seed potatoes. George Miller,
"The Potato King" will probably
make a few remarks on potatoes.
The entire program will be an
nounced next week.
A. L. Molanier of the Minneap-
oils, Red Lake & Manitoba railway
has agreed to provide q way for peo-
pie living along the Red Lake line
to leave Bemidji about 9 p. m. for
their homes. This will enable them
to attend the institute, do whatever
trading they wish and attend the
first picture show before returning
