Sheep Raising Pays.

SuCCp IsAlSNsS AySs
L. N. Mason of Independence town
ship says that sheep pay him the big
gest returns on his investment of any
stock that he keeps His~statement is
backed UP by the experiences of hun
dreds of other farmers in this and
surrounding counties.
Reports from 5000 farmers all over
the United States have just been COM
piled by the agricultural extension de-
partment Of the International Harvest
er company in regard to sheep raising.
These reports show that each eve kept
returned an average income of SLID
from the sale Of her fleece and the sale
of the lamb. The average cost Of feed
ing eve together with her lamb until
it was sold was $469. This left Il
profit of $6.46 a year for each eve that
raised a lamb. These figures We're for
1916 and since then the prices on NUT
ton and wool have raised considerably
so that the profit in sheep raising now
should be even greater.
The total number Of sheep in the
United States has decreased during the
past seventeen years 12,00O,O0O head.
Today there is world wide shortage
of wool and mutton with the demand
for these too articles steadily increas-
ing. We must have wool for the army.
Yet the range tiocks Of>the west are
rapidly being reduced.
The country is looking more and
more to the corn belt farmers for it's
supply of wool and mutton. For this
reason it is both patriotic and profit
able to raise sheep.
The chief reason reported by the
5000 farmers to the international
Harvester company for the scarcity OF
sheep was the stray dog. The shot
gun should be used freely in enforcing
the state dog laws.
Each farm would do well by having
flock of from so to Is sheep because

Tumeric Pickle.

A delicious pickle and a good way to
use up large cucumbers.
One half bushel cucumbers Gall sizes
may be used), 20 onions, red peppers,
4 OTIS. vinegar, 2 qts. water, 6 cups
brown sugar., 1 and u or. tumeric,
same each of celery and white mus
tard seed. Slice cucumbers without
peeling in Is inch slices, cut up onions
and peppers and soak over night in
strong brine. Put vinegar, water, sugar
seeds and tumeric into a large vessel
and let come to boil, then add the
other ingredients, after draining them
well. Let them come to a boil, skim
and bottle in air tight sterile contain
ers.
Dill Pickles.
Wash medium sized cucumbers Make
a solution of one gallon of water and
one cup of coarse salt and one quart
Of vinegar. Pack pickles into jar with
a piece of bruised garlic Zone bud) and
layers of dill, cover with grape leaves
or cabbage leaves and put plate with
a weight over all. Skim every few
days. After about ten days or two
weeks the brine may be drawn off and
boiled, pickles packed into boiled jars
and the brine poured over them and
sealed They will keep indefinitely if
treated this way, but if left in open
lars, will get soft after few weeks.
When sealing for winter use add fresh
dill to jars, straining all the old out.
Small perfect green tomatoes may
also be made into delicious dill pickles
by treating them the same way, being
sure to discard any that may have
broken before sealing for winter.

.ERIXON AND JONES
WILL GET CONTRACT
New Metal Trades Building
For Schools to Cost Little
Under $1,000.

The building for the new metal
trades department Of the high school
will be erected at cost of 1920, ao
cording to lids received at meeting
of the school board last evening. Erik.
on & Jones were the successful bidders
ON basis of $14s0 for the building
according to plans submitted.
The building to be erected on High
street on the school property just south
of the high school building, will be Of
corrugated iron with sidings of wood,
siI gle roof, and concrete floors. The
plumbing Will cost $500 and these with
other improvements will bring the
cost of the building up to about 1920.
Considering the extreme high cost of
all building materials and also the
scarcity of labor, the board thought
best to erect this temporary building
which will fill the bill for the trades
school until the time comes when
building materials will have reached
a normal figure.
The school board accepted the re-
signation of Miss Emily Palmer, who
has been head of the department of
mathematics of the high school, and al
so the resignation of Rex Palmer of
mathematics and algebra of the high
school. Miss Vivian Young of Boise
and Mrs. Esther Emmel Gillette of
Salem were elected to positions in the
department of mathematics. For the
commercial department, Miss Blossom
Redmond of Decatur, Ill. was elected
and Miss Catherine Lewis of Spokane
as teacher of English and public speak
ing. Mr.. Miller of the Lincoln school
presented his resignation but was not
accepted by the board. Mr.. Miller ex-
poets to be called into the service
some time this fall and thought perhaps
it would not be advisable to contract
with the board for the coming year.
Should he be called, there would not
be man ON the teaching staff of the
Lincoln Junior high school.

School Teachers May
Easily Break Contract

In reply to the question as to why,
even at this time of year, so many
school teachers are resigning and the
board are under necessity of contract
ing with others to fill their places, it
may be said that contract between a
school board Of directors and teach
er is but a mere scrap of paper as far
as the teacher is concerned. Thanks to
the efforts of various school teachers,
law was passed a few years ago
whereby q school board must live up
to its contract, but a teacher may
break it provided he or she gives the
board notice within 30 days before the
opening Of the fall term The board
must live up to the terms of the con-
tract, but the teacher may begin at
once to look for better job and if the
job is found within 30 days Of the be.
ginning Of the fall term, a resignation
may be presented and it must be ac-
cepted by the board.

MED in an order issued by the public

the company gave no figures or pre-,

such an increase.
In June the interstate commerce com,
mission granted 10 per cent increase
in interstate express rates, and the CON
mission points out that the application
for an increase in rates in Oregon was
an outgrowth of that action. But at the
hearing very little testimony or evi.

support of its application.
