Mrs. Fernald
Explains the
Yarn Situation

Fearing there is some misunder,
standing concerning the distribution
of the knitted articles made by the
Tarpon Springs chapter, A. R. c.,
make the following statement:
Yarn is very scarce and the price
exceedingly high, but by purchasing
from the bureau of supplies, A. R. c.,
we have succeeded in getting it at a
reasonable price and our knitters have
been kept fairly busy.
When buying from the Red Cross
bureau of supplies we have until re-
Gently been required to return to them
all articles made from the raw mate
rial. Now we have been given the
privilege of fitting out the local
draftees as they are leaving for camp.
/ will state further that l purchased
yarn on two occasions for the w. G.
7. U. from the Patriotic Yarn associa-
ton, and in order to get this yarn, |
had to sign an affidavit saying that
the yarn would be used solely for the
purpose of making knitted articles
for the soldiers.

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK BETTER
IN ARGENTINE REPUBLIC

Buenos Aires. May 81 For some
time past there has been an increased
volume and variety in the Buenos
Aires stock exchange transactions,
with prices constantly rising, which
appears to indicate a revival of con-
fidence, as it means that the large
sums which have been lying unproduc-
tive in the banks for SO long are now
being utilized in investments, both IN
industrial and government bonds.
Another sign of the growing optim-
ism is the revival in the landed prop
erty market.

The best time to begin preparation

produced small and weak lambs ut

tice is known among sheepmen ~
flushing" and will insure an In
creased per cent of twin lambs.
Experiments conducted by the anil
NAL husbaniry division Of the United
States department of agriculture have
shown that the extra trouble and feed
required In flushing the ewes Ia repaid
several times by the added number Of
lambs obtained. With ewes already in
good condition the effect Is less marked
than with thinner stock. Young or
dry ewes that are in high condition
will not be benefited by flushing. With
ewes gaining In condition at breeding
time the lambs arrive more nearly to-
gether in spring. This lessens the
labor Of lambing season and gives
more nearly uniform ages and weights
In lambs to be marketed.

Equipment for sheep BrssdIns.
Equipment for raising sheep on
farms need not be expensive. In mild
ATTITUDES little housing Is needed. and
the main need is for fencing and pas
lures Of sufncient number and size to
allow frequent changing Of flocks to
fresh ground to insure health. Where
winters are longer and more severe.
buildings and sheds are necessary to
furnish protection from storms. though
no special provisions are needed for
warmth. Drynes. good ventilation,
and freedom from drafts are the nrst
requisites Of buildings for sheep. Con-
venience In feeding and shepherding
must also be held in mind In locating
and planning such buildings or sheds.
Small hocks can be cared for In SEC.
lions Of barns having stabllng OF feed
storage for other stock. but with
flock of. say. 100 ewes. separate build
ings are desirable. The interior ar
rangement Of these buildings should
be such as to require a minimum Of
labor and the least possible moving Of
the ewes In doing the feeding and
caring for them during the lambing
season. A building Of this type can
also be utilized for fattening pur.
chased lambs to be disposed Of before
lamblng begins In the regular farm
flock. A good supply Of feed racks.
grain troughs, etc., can be provided at
small expense and will save labor and
prevent waste Of feed.
