FARM SHEEP RAISING IS EASY

ton, D. c. As the supply of the draw ings for free distribution is limited, how ever, it is expected that only those will apply for them who are seriously contem- plating building
 The building referred to has eight large pens, each capable of holding 20 ewes, all lowing 12 square feet of floor space and 15 inches of rack space for each eve, and a small pen for the accommodation of four or five bucks. The partitions be- tween the pens are formed by movable feed racks so arranged that the atend- ant can walk down the center to distrib- ute feed. Storage space for 55 tons or loose hay or straw is provided in the now, and for HOO bushels of grain in the storage room on the second floor This is enough feed with the exception of silage it is said, to carry for pe- riod of five months all the sheep that can be put in the barn. The silo should have a capacity of 90 tons.
 The estimated cost of such building with materials and labor obtainable at prices prevailing in May, 1916, should be approximately $24o0 Tk-se figures do not include feed racks. and the bulletin is careful to state that they should be con- sidered only as a rough guide, because it is impossible to state exactly what the prices of material and labor will be in dhy lOCdllLy+ IS etHlOtiib Oh AdAih A6rOA employed is also an important item in the total expense of construction

Equipment for raising sheep on farms need not be expensive, say specialists in the United States department of agricul- ture. Elaborate and expensive structures do not insure economy in management and are not essential to the welfare of the flock. In mild attitudes, little housing of any sort is needed, but where winters are longer and more severe, some pro- lection from storms is required. Under such circumstances, the buildings in which it is proposed to house the sheep should be dry well ventilated. and free from drafts but no special provisions for warmth are required.
 Where the flock contains 100 or more ewes, it is desirable to provide separate building for it. Smaller fiocks can be cared for in sections of barns which con tain other stock. In farmers bulletin SID, equipment for farm sheep raising, new publication of the United States depart ment of agriculture, a number of plans are given for different kinds of sheep barns and also for such other equipment as pens, feeding troughs, hurdles and fences. A good supply of feed racks, grain thoughs, etc. says the bulletin, can be provided at small expense and will both save labor and prevent waste of fan
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-08-02
CARE OF EWES

The ewes suffer greatly if confined in poorly ventilated pens. It is therefore necessary to provide sos-.e means of se- curing fresh air without creating drafts. Where the building is very large, with numerous doors and windows. it is some times advisable to build one or two par titions from floor to ceiling. By opening muslin-screen windows on the side oppo site to that from which the wind is blow ing, fresh air can be admitted without causing drafts. In very cold sections, or where lambs are to arrive in the winter months, specially arranged outlets of foul air and inlets of fresh air Will he neces- sary.
 Level and well drained, clay-surfaced floors are cheap and satisfactory, the only objection to them being that they do not exclude rats. For alleys and feed rooms concrete floors are required.
 In the bulletin already mentioned is a discussion, accompanied by drawings of the plan of a barn intended for the ex- elusive use of sheep, designed to meet the needs of those permanently engaged .n sheep raising on large scale. The work ing drawings and bills of materials for this and for the other buildings discussed in the bulletin may be obtained from the office of public roads and rural engineer ing, department of agriculture, Washing

CLIMATIC CONDITIONS

Because of the wide difference in cli- matic conditions under which sheep are raised, it is impossible to recommend particular type of building for universal use A few fundamental principles, how ever should be followed, no matter what type of building is to be constructed. In the first place, the site should be dry and well drained. Ample yard space should be available adjacent to the main barn or she'd and it is desirable that this should have southern slope with sandy soil. If, too, the sheep barn is located conveniently to the farmhouse or to other barns, much time will be saved in the performance of routine labor This is inn portant because through a part of the year the flock requires attention many times a day.
 In planning '>r =+e it is well to remem- Der that shade and protection from
 are necessary for saeep, and that these cannot always he obtained in pastures. The building that is cool in summer, therefore, will often give greater comfort to the animals than they can obtain out of doors. More important requisites how ever, are dryness and light. Sheep can not possibly thrive in quarters that are damp or dark. In fact, the flock should be shut in only during storms. One square foot of window to each 20 square feet of floor space is considered neces- ray The windows should be placed at a height to insure a good distribution of light and, in particular, of direct sum- light for the lambing pens during the period the ewes are lambing.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: take this opportunity to ask you TO
permit me to bring your attention to your
article Of last Sunday on the Boche losses.
You seem to be under the impression that
the French class Of 1919 has been modified
or is about to be called to the colors This
is inexact. have charge here Of the mill
tary affairs and / can assure you that this
class has not even been what we call
"recensee"-that is to say, that the young
men who belong to this class have not yet
been asked to register Gas was done here the
9Th of June for Americans liable to military
duty under the conscription law.
do not believe personally that this regis
tration, which requires law from Parlia-
ment, will take place before November, which
would mean that the men would not be called
before January or February, l9lS-that is to
say, that these future soldiers will be nineteen
years Of age when they will serve and will
certainly not be sent to the front before June
or July Of next year. This class forms,
therefore, q surplus of about 100000 for the
French army. FRANCAlS.

rrofteering these days and altogether too
little attention on the part Of any one class
in the community to keeping prices at a
minimum. It does not behoove the wheat
growers to asperse the patriotism Of any
other citizens, particularly until the wheat
leaves their bins more freely than 1t Is
moving at present.
Merchants and manufacturers, great
corporations and their highly skilled and
highly paid executives, are as necessary
to the successful prosecution of Americas
war as the wheat growers and the cotton
planters. The country has no more use
for profitecr farmer than for a profiteer
steel man. The adjustment of profiteer-
ing in all lines will come sooner and more
certainly if the problem can be attacked
without class rancor and downright
demagogy.
