SHEEP CONTINUE TO SUFFER
FOR WANT OF WINTER STORM

David Tweedie, who is herding one
of James Smiths hocks of sheep out
beyond Hurricane this winter, came
up the first Of the week on business
connected with his CONSUMPTION ques-
tionaire, which had been delayed in
reaching him, and after getting this
matter adjusted properly, and trans
acting other business about town, re-
turned to his work. Dave says that
conditions down there as result of
the long drought are getting quite SER
ious. though the sheep are holding up
so far better than one could expect.
1t is now necessary, he said, to trail
them fifteen miles between feed and
water, and the feed is hardly reached
until it is necessary to turn the sheep
around and start them back to water.
People coming up from the Dixie
country state that the recent storm
reached only as far as Dry Creek, this
side of the black ridge, and that the
section needing it the most is still
dry and dusty.

ABOUT THE FARM
Expert Gives Tin y L.,.stock nts

The following very timely sug-
gestions to livestock growers are Civ
en- by DR.. w. f. Carroll, Professor of
Animal Husbandry at the Utah Agri-
cultural College.
How much are you paying for your
bran and shorts? IL you are receiv-
ing the full benefit of the Govern
ment's recent ruling on prices for
these feeds, you should be buying
them for approximately forty cents
less on the dollar than formerly. Ac-
cording to this ruling, bran must not
be sold for more than thirty eight per
cent of the price Of wheat to the mil
lers and shorts at more than two
dollars ton more than bran. This
should bring the price of bran down
to about twenty dollars a ton, instead
of the thirty to forty dollars that has
formerly been charged. 1t is your
own fault if you don't receive this re-
duction.
Give the best of care to cows that
will calve soon. Keep them in good
condition with plenty of feed and care
full handling. At the time of calving
give the COW the best treatment and
be sure, if the weather is cold, to pre-
vent the calf from chilling.
In general, the ranges are not in
the best of condition right now. The
wise stockman will put his cattle in
good condition throughout the winter
and not turn them out on the range
thin and poor. There will be little
profit for the man who turns thin
cattle on the range this spring.
There is still time to breed sows
for a late farrow. II you have a sow
to breed, patriotism as well as profit
demand that you get returns from
her. The need for pork and lard has
never been so great as now and this
need will increase as spring comes.
The best of care should be given to
the sows now about ready to farrow.
With pork so necessary to the gov
eminent, it is little less than a crime
to let pigs die through lack of care.
Feed is much more plentiful this
winter than last. This does not mean
that we should waste it, however
Good racks and troughs soon save
their cost in the feed saved. They are
a necessary investment.

LEAVE THE SUGAR
IN THE CUPBOARD
Tasty Dishes Made From Sugar Sub
stitutes Given

Sugar may be saved by reducing
the amount used or by substitution
The latter method is to be advocated
because it keeps in the diet highly
essential food. The following sugar
less menu, with recipes of sugar sub
stitute dishes, was prepared by Miss
Hortense White of the department of
home economics, Extension Division,
Utah Agricultural College.
Sugarless Menus.
Substitutes for sugar may be syrup,
honey, molasses, dried fruits as dates,
figs, prunes, raisins. The first three
substitutes can be used measure for
measure in substitution for sugar in
nearly all dishes requiring sweets. but
when using these in cakes. one-fourth
cup less liquid should be used.
Breakfast

GOING OUT

In this fair world in which we
dwell no mans so greatly needed that
when they toll his passing bell his
going is much needed. Today we see
a shining guy of whom the world is
talking, and we remark, "If he should
die 'twould set the planet rocking.
Oh it would jolt this country hard, to
lose this human pattern; the solar
system would be Jared from Jupiter
to Saturn" And then this man of
mighty brains is taken with the collie,
and fifty-seven kinds Of pains around
his innards frolic. The doctors round
his couch have swarmed as thick as
they were able, and in the end we are
informed that he has slipped his ca
BILE. The great mans dead! And still
the sun its daily bonfire raises, and
still the stars, when day is done, come
forth and shine like blazes. The gov
eminent wages on the same, dissatis-
faction giving, and men pursue the
same old game they played when he
was living. The fame he worked so
long to build has vanished, as en-
chanted; the great mans place is
promptly filled, the great mans dead
and planted.-Walt Mason, for Des-
eret News.

THE SOLDIERS TAKING
GOVERNMENT INSURANCE

That the wise and benefcent law
providing Government insurance for
the military and naval forces of the
United States is fully appreciated by
the soldiers and sailors of the Nation
is being every day evidenced.
At Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg,
S. c., during the month of November
nearly 10000 applications were sent
to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance;
II per cent of these was for the maxi
mum amount of $4,000, 20 per cent
was for $4,000, and per cent was for
lesser sums. In 16 companies every
single man applied for insurance; in
8 units, 8 of them full companies,
every man applied for the maximum
Of $4,000.
A spirited campaign of education
has been organized and is being con-
Quoted to furnish full and thorough
information of the workings of the
law to those coming under the provi-
sions, and it is believed that the great
benefits of this wise and humane pro-
vision for the soldiers and sailors of
the United States and their depend
ents will be availed of by practically
all Of our fighting men.

TIMBER SALES WE'RE
DOUBLED IN LAST YEAR

Sales of National Forest timber in
the Fiscal Year 1917 were more than
double those of 1916, according to the
Annual Report of the Forester. The
total amount sold exceeded two bill
lion feet and is valued at more than
$3,715,000. During the same period
about 727 million feet were cut and
removed, for which the purchasers
paid 81 ,507,303 into the Federal Trea-
sury. The largest sales were made in
Oregon, where about 683 million
board feet were disposed of.
In addition to the timber sold, APP
proximately 113 million board feet
valued at almost $4,000 was cut I'M
der free use permit by more than A.
90 settlers living near the National
Forests and depending on the Forests
for firewood and building material to
improve their homesteads.
The timber business on the eastern
purchase areas, while still small as
compared with the Western Forests,
