prepared by the. United States Depart
ment or Agriculture.)
The development Of the sheep indus
try will contribute materially to the
nations food and clothing supply. War
conditions have brought about re-
newed interest in sheep growing in
the United States and the high value
of both wool and mutton will place
the farm sheep business in a new
light.
The mutton sheep is a necessary In
strument in highly intensive and self
supporting agriculture. The still more
intensive use Of land in farms, an eff
fort to secure the more economical use
Of every acre, every facility, and avail
able labor, all Of which are necessary
under the present conditions, necessf-
tate the general inclusion Of sheep in

our system Of mixed farming and live
stock production. This gives the rails
ing Of sheep new appeal in older
farming areas.
The main factor in determining the
cost of other animal products is the
value of grain and mill feeds pastur-
age and roughage are important, but
both beef and pork require consider
able use of concentrated feeds. The
production Of lambs and mutton re-
Quire a very much smaller proportion
OK fat and therefore a smaller use of
grain than is required In these other
meat animals. Sheep are able to get
good portion Of their feed from
rough, permanent grass pasture and at
the same time keep 1t clean Of weeds.
This increases rather than decreases
the cattle-carrying capacity Of the pas
ture. AS sheep require comparative.
ly little Of the owners labor, the labor
cost per dollars worth Of wool or
lambs Is lower than in any other farm
animal product. While the labor re-
Quired in raising sheep is not heavy
it is continuous and somewhat differ
ent from that required in the care Of
other stock.
Many Of the obstacles that have
hindered the progress of sheep rails
ing in intensive farming districts have
been or are being overcome. The COM
petition given sheep growing on farms
by the production of sheep on lower
priced range land is being removed.
A second but only temporary obstacle
to quick increase in sheep produc-
tion lies in the fact that comparative
ly few farmers are as we'll qualified
tn care for sheep as for other classes
of stock. The needs and habits Of
sheep differ from those of horses, and
swine, but present no problems that
will not be met by interested study
and observations supported by satis-
factory returns.

Here is little story that was told
at a social session by Representative
Hubert d. Stephens of Mississippi, as
an illustration that the best industrial

through team work:
Some time since, the teacher of a

instructing a Juvenile class in mathe-
mates when she turned to small boy
named Tommy.

rather startling rejOinder Of Tommy.
"Ten thousand years!' exclaimed
the teacher. "Why, Tommy, what do
you mean?"
II mean," was the prompt response
of Tommy, "that If you put them to
work together they would sit on the
fence, smoke ana swap fish stories. -

GOOD TEAMS ARE VALUABLE

Plan to Raise Colts.

Good teams mean more to the up
to-date farmer than, is generally be-
lieved. Without good teams it is a
very difficult matter to do good farm
ing. But at present prices farmers
may hesitate to buy heavy draft horses
and mules, Notwithstanding the fact
that they are after all economical.

heavy mares and raise colts for sale
