 NOTE IN C|TY

c. J. Sprague is the inventor and owner of the Never Clog cultivator and harrow MT. Sprague is well known Phoenix man who has spent many years here. He recently re- turned after several years spent in California and is devoting much of his time to plans that will lead to the manufacturing of this cultivator and harrow He has just secured the patent.
 The particular value and qualifi cations of this new type of cultlVator is it's construction for killing John son grass or other obnoxious grasses, it's chief characteristic being to pull verize the ground and pull out the stems and roots, leaving them on top of the ground, so they can be raked up and burned. The teeth of the machine are always in the ground, nothing has to be lifted to raise the grass or weeds, the construction be- ing such that they are brought out of the ground, turned off and left on top.
 Mr. Sprague has been working for the past three years, much of the time in California, perfecting the parts of his machine. He has proven to the satisfaction of several who have in vestigated the machine that it vii be of great value in all irrigated coun- tries, particularly where there is John son grass and other kinds of obnox- ious growth which bothers in farming the land MT. Sprague is having one of these machines made for trial use near Phoenix. In this way Salt River Valley people may see the machine demonstrated.
 MT. Sprague some years ago delivered one of The Republicans suburban sub scriptiin routes, and was always great ly interested in farming in Salt River Valley. He advises that business in the city of Phoenix and farming in the valley are much more successful ant conditions are much better here than ir Los Angeles and in other Southern California districts

recent years, considerable attention has been attracted to this strange creature of four centuries ago. Even those who have in the past scoffed at the weird predictions of this ancient witch" are now stirred by curiortty to wonder what will next occur in this connection.

LARGEST RECORD FOR MILK
Cow High In Flesh at caIving Time
Gives Much Richer Milk for Long
Period Than When Thin.

Missouri investigators have shown
that cow high in flesh at calving
time gives very much richer milk for
some time than would be the case
were she thin. This knowledge is
now made use of by every breeder of
dairy cattle who desires to make the
largest possible record for milk and
butter fat production.
Another interesting discovery is that
when a COW is underfed that tempo
rarily she gives richer milk rather
than thinner as might be expected.
This is of great Importance in connec-
ton with making tests of cows and a
failure to understand this effect has
resulted in wrong conclusions from
many experiments conducted with
cows in the past.

good, should exercise n highly stimu-
lating influence.
A representative of the college has
given much of his time of late to Wis
iting men who have been shipping and
pasturing flocks ranging in size from
$50 head to 1000 or 5000. and have
been doing ii successfully, in some in
stances for as many as twelve sea-
sons-disclosing, by the way, that the
"ship north" idea is not altogether n
new one. These Bheepmen, as result
of their experience, indorse the project
fully and urge its wider development.
Not all of them have been shipping
their flocks at the same time. though
i'm only one case was ii considered
economy to send the ewes to pasture
before lambing, and in this instance
the move was made because of the
very large numbers of, animals In the
flock and lack of sufficient room and
labor to take care of them at home.
All the sheepmen agreed that a much
larger per cent of lambs can be raised
by having the youngest lambs Mt least
one week old at the time Of shipping
to pasture. If the lambs are to come
on pasture, the ewes should be bred
so as not to have the lambs begin COM
ing before May 10. Ewes with young
lambs were successfully shipped as
early as April % to May 1, and mt any
time afterward that enough ewes for
carload had good. strong lambs
ready.
No serious trouble was experienced
with lambs being weaned on the road,
where the ewes were not too crowded.
About 75 ewes, where there are many
twins, or 50 with mostly single lambs,
can be loaded in one deck. When
shipped before lambing not over 100
to the deck is recommended. Neither
were there many injuries to ewes
heavy with lambs while on the road,
except In one case where the ewes
were purchased and the lambs began
coming too, early, many being born
on the cars. 1t happened to be cold,
stormy weather, the cars were de-
layed. and several lambs and few
ewes were lost. Had the ewes been
bred later this would have been avoid
ed.

way last season, but there seems to

sheepmen who have tried it have learn
ed TO their gain that ewes wintered in
southern Michigan can be shipped
north in the spring and successfully
grazed through the summer months on
the vast areas of cut-over lands in the
upper half Of the lower peninsula and
in many sections of the upper pc
ninsula.
But before entering too far into re-
cital of results "A little of the past
history of this project should be re-
called. Wherb Uncle Sam cast down
the gauntlet, Michigan's farmers and
live stock men were appealed to for
bumper production. Coincidentally
legions Of self-appointed Solomons
climbed upon their soap boxes on city
street corners and let loose Il deluge of
suggestions to agriculturists. In this
bedlam there was hardly n chance in
the world that men really having some
thing to say would ever be heard, but
through the Michigan Agricultural col
lege in gaining an audience. Among
these last were owners of cut-over pas
ture lands in northern Michigan. They
offered these areas, which otherwise
would have lain idle, to sheep men, in
many instances without rental, for the
summer-g grazing of flocks. The ques-
ton at once presented itself. natural
ly, as to whether sheep could be
shipped north, in the spring and
brought back in the fall with any GER
tainty that the enterprise would be
successful. Many sheepmen, however,
| were willing to make the experiment
The results, as they have reported,
have on the whole been SO uniformly
satisfactory that flocks should this
coming season be moved north on a
large scale. The fact that land is
plentiful, the need for wool and NUT
ton great. and the prospect of gain

What Father Said.

In Sunday school class recently the
topic up for discussion was food con-
servation. Among other things the
teacher asked the children whether
their parents said grace before each
meal. TO make it more ineligible the
teacher remarked: "Does your father
have anything to say before YOU begin
to eat?'
"Yes. ma'am." replied one little
youngster, "he always says, Now, kids,
don't make hogs of yourselves; that's
all the butter there is in the house."

the north than on the home pastures.
One man shipped to pasture with his
ewes 105 per cent of lambs and mar
keted 80 per cent Of lambs; another
with smaller flock, mostly registered
Shropshires and Hampshires, says he
raised $50 per cent of lambs, while
still third man, who has been hand
ling ewes in thousands, thought 10
per cent of lambs was fair average.
1t would seem, accordingly, that where
flocks of from GO TO 400 on 500 are kept
in good quarters through lambing time
and sent with their lambs to pasture,
70 to 100 per cent Of lambs should be
expected.
Where the ewes were run in large
ilOcks the western females proved
more satisfactory. One flock of 800
during one season reported no losses,
but in the larger flocks from 3 To !
per cent of the ewes may be expected
to die each season from general
causes. If the feed is short and dry
i'm the fall, they should be returned
to the farms early, for one man was
caught by snow with 1900 thin ewes.
They were loaded hurriedly and start
ed home without man ia charge, and
when they were unloaded on the way
home they were caught in an ice storm.
SiXty-five ewes were dead i'm the
cars. This was largely laid TO neglect
and carelessness Of the. railroad. OF
course this Is an unusual condition.
but 1t is generally agreed that the
ewes should be returned TO the farms
by November !, a little earlier being
the safer plan unless some provision
is made for feed and protection from
storms.
The lambs We're usually not weaned
until sold. and the time of selling va
ried from August to November, de-
pending upon the size and age of the
lambs, and market conditions. 1t
seems advisable to sell the lambs at
least by October /, so as to give the
ewes n chance to gain upon grass. The
average weight of the lambs at the
time of selling varied from 60 to 80
pounds. The light lambs were often
shipped home for winter feeders.
The freight rate will be slightly high
err now, but was 1917 cents per hundred
weight from Jonesville to Prescott.
where many thousands have been
shipped. The freight for a minimum
car of sheep, $4,000 pounds, at 1917
cents per hundredweight, is $29.7O.
Surprising that SO ewes with their
lambs were loaded to the deck, the
cost of shipping each eve would be
just above II cents. Plenty of good
pasture can be located for so cents
per eve per season without going
much farther from most points in
Michigan.
OF course the sheep farmers and
ranchmen have the advantage of not
having to ship the ewes away for the
J winter, and are perhaps in the best po-
