SENEGAL SHEEP ENJov,No LIFE At sGLrsv,LLE, MD.

Ofom the Omitted States DEPARTMENT of
Agficulture.)
The demand for breeding ewes has
exhausted the local supply In many Sec
lions, the United States department Of
agriculture finds. Western range ewes
are being used to start farm fiocks in
the corn belt and In the East. In the
corn belt these ewes have already
proved their ability to produce mar
ket-topping lambs when mated to good
rams of mutton-breeds and when well
cared for during the winter and after
lambing. They may be expected to do
well on the farms east Of the corn belt
and on hilly pastures Of the Appa,
lachian mountain system.
Uss Care In Collecting Ewes.
In purchasing these ewes care should
be taken to obtain those with sound
teeth, udders that are soft and pliable.
and teats that are sound and have no
hard cores. Ewes from one to three
years Of age are to be preferred. These
ewes may be In thin condition but
should suffer no discrimination on this
account alone. II thin they cost less
per head than II fat. and the flesh
needed to put them In good condition
can be put on by the purchaser more
cheaply than 1t can be bought In the
open market.
These ewes are usually free from

FALL FLOWING WILL
.... PROVE PROFITABLE
Puts Soil In Proper Condition for
Coming Season Destroys
Grubs and CutWorms.
Dy L M. BENNrNoroN.)

II will soon BE time to demonstrate
to the amateur the value Of the late
blowing that the foresighted man did
during the late months Of last year.
There II none Of the fancy natural
setting about the fall work that IL
found in the spring, but the man who
thought ahead and prepared his ground
will soon enjoy an advantage in the
form Of q much earlier crop, and In
the satisfaction Of having completed
the job while he was at It that the
less energetic and thoughtful farmer
will not know.
During the FIRST favorable days Of
spring the disk and harrow work WIN
be done. and the earth win be broken
with all Of the riches that the fall
work bestowed. There are 20 many
workers who do not understand the
value of this initial work that Mt the
opening of the new year the resolution
ought to be made to take q leaf from
the book Of experience and make this
year count ON scientific lines.
The fall work will put the ground In
proper condition for the coming sea-
son. Grubs and cutworms and all
of the bug tribe that come to harrass
and annoy the farm worker will get
short shrift when the pillow turns them
up to the mercies Of the cold weather
that Is to follow. And then the vege-
table matter that 10 plowed under will
have time to decay and blend with the
soil thoroughly. Where the blowing
is done on rough, billy soil the fur
rows will catch and hold a large
amount Of moisture that would other
wise be lost by reason Of the con-
formation Of the ground.
