BEST HEAD OF SHEEP FLOCK
Excellent Results Obtained by Using
Purebred Mutton Ram on Grade
Ewes at Missouri.

A good purebrcd ram should head ev-
cry flock of sheep. 1t pays TO use such
sires on grade ewes. In a Missouri
test lambs sired by purebred mutton
ram and out of western ewes weighed
two and half pounds more when sold
at three months old than did lambs
four months old sired by scrub ram
out of the same grade of ewes. The
wellbred lambs were ready a month
sooner, ate half as much food and
sold for three cents per pound more.

EXERCISE FOR THE STALLION
Short Walk Each Day Is Not Enough
to Keep Him in Good Condition
Give Him Some Work.

See to 1t that the stallion is getting
plenty Of exercise. A short walk each
day is not enough to keep him In the

ognize the fact that the best way
TO keep the stallion hard and fit with
the least expense and trouble is to
give him a moderate amount Of work
throughout the year. He will make

Of the lowering Of German morale
continues to be discovered in cap

remarkable letter was found recent

Between June 81 and June 80. 10
enemy airplanes and one captive bal
loon were brought down by our av-
iators. In addition to these. IA Ger

That's the keynote Of the war con-
vention Of the National Education

In q splendid address on Waste
OF Food" Dean J. A. Bsxsll. Of the
Oregon Agricultural College said. in
part. ..
The most fsr reaching item u
waste is robbing the soil Of fertility.
America is the most wasteful Of all
civilized countries. The average rs-
turns per acre in the United States
is $11.3s which is the lowest Of any
civilized country save Russia.
| The remedies for waste in fertil-
ity are very simple In principle. First.
smaller farms. second. scientific TO
tation Of crops, and third. proper
cultivation and fertilization. The
slogan should be Produce more at
less cost and consume less" Farm
ers are just beginning to learn that
they must mix brains with Drawn.
All who arel engaged in productive
enterprises must study costs and
operations and must be ready to
adopt those changes which are la
bor-saving and productive Of econo-
my and efficiency.
The speaker cited some significant
waste statistics. Government experts
estimate that considerably over q bill
lion dollars worth Of food Is wasted
annually by insects alone. Iowa
saves annually at least $1o.ooo.ooo
through the COW testing association.
Millions Of dollars worth Of eggs are
wasted annually through the use Of
fertile eggs.

from improper connection between
the producer and the consumer.
