FARM METHODS OF

Good shelter and plenty of fresh wa

Missouri correspondent Of the Farm
Progress.
Give me good sheep shed. the right
kind of open lots and plenty of fresh
water, and believe I can winter sheep
easier than any other animal on the
farm. During the month aud half
OF deep SHOWS, cold weather and cold
rains the warm sheep shed has saved
much feed. Give them a warm shed,
and it will not take nearly SO much
grain and hay.
I know a good many men who seem
to think that any kind of an old shed is
good enough for their sheep. They will
use an old barn with half the siding
ripped off and the whole interior open
to blowing snow and driving rain.
They are not worried much If the roof
Is full of holes and lets in the water
That Is very bad for the sheep. The
feeces get soaked through, and it takes
days for them to dry out. AS long as
they are wet to the skin the sheep are
in fine shape to come down with an
attack Of sort of bronchitis that kills

Squads usually sell at the highest
prices during cold weather, as pigeons

In culling out the 'indesirables much
care should be taken to see that all

ers or ewes that have spoiled udders
go to the market. Many times big,
fat eve is the most handsome in all the
flock. and the owner hates to sell her
because she looks good. which is prin.
cipally on account OF her high condi.
ton. Such ewes are drones in the
flock and parasites on the feed bin. A

has raised her lamb well. She certain

Spurious Wireless Message Detected
in Time to Save Day for De-

WAR GAME GOES MERELY
ON OFF ATLANTIC COAST
Spies on Shore Believed to Be In
Close Touch With Plans of Blue
Fleet--Reds Have Not as Yet Been
Located.

Washington, Aug ga spy ship
working somewhere on the high seas
in conjunction with Admiral Mayo's
invading feet today came near send
ing the defending Blues under Ad-
miral Helm on wild goose chase.
Tonight the Navy Department Is
bending every energy to locating an
espionage system which Admiral
Mayo is believed TO have organized
before he began his attempt to land
theoretical army on thirty trans
ports on the Atlantic seaboard.
Early today the Arlington wireless
station intercepted q message to Ad-
miral Helm stating that the trans
port train was in advance OF the
enemy battle-fieet convoy" The
sender gave his position and signed
himself as one of the Helm scout de-
stroyers.
Doubling that Mayo would expose
his transport in an advanced posi-
ton. the board of strategy at the
Navy Department Immediately wire
lessed Helm that they believed the
message to be spurious and not to
risk any OF his units in trying to To-
cate the train at the position given.
Had Helm raced to the position.
as would have been his duty II the
message had been trustworthy, the
Washington strategists declare Mayo
would have won the game by sin
gle stroke.
The possibilities of spying have not
been neglected by the strategists, but
this Is the first time il had appeared
In actual practice in a war game.
The incident has doubled the work
of the information officers at the
Navy Department. Scores of reports
are coming in from sea as to the
probable whereabouts OF the Red
feet and II is difficult to discern be-
tween the true and the false. It is
believed that Mayo has impressed
some merchant ships into his service
and that he Is also kept informed by
land spies In touch with the Navy
Department of the location of Helms

Count Won Roedern, secretary OIL

may he turned in as subscriptions.
The fourth German war loan was
issued in March. 1t was sold at 9S -
as against 90 for the third loan, An
issue price of 9S for the new bonds
would indicate that Germany, In COM
