SHEEP RAISING is PATRIOTIC
Wool From Twenty Animals Necessary
TO cIcthe and Equip One Soldier
for War Service.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture)
War has given the sheep and wool
industry a stupendous task. There
must be 20 sheep back of every soldier
to clothe and equip him. This need
has made sheep raising patriotic as
well as profitable undertaking. Sheep
require little bread grain, and as both
wool and mutton are in strong de-
mand, the development of the industry
will contribute materially to the ma
TONS food and clothing supply.
Farm Sheep Raising for Beginners"
Farmers Bulletin 840), a recent pub
LEGATION of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, contains all the
general directions needed, to make a
start. Another recent publication of
the department, entitled "Sheep and
Intensive Farming" yearbook 1917,
Separate 1907, will also be found help
full.
For the present season wool has
about trebled in price and the price
of lambs has about doubled. The
gross annual returns from ewes Of
breeding age may be expected to range
from So to SIS head, depending upon
the percentage of lambs raised, the
weight of the f1eeces and the values
for these products. The lamb and
wool yield depend largely upon the
breed selected. So the choice of
breed is a very important matter.
There are II breeds of improved sheep
which are well established in the Unit
ed States, and a number Of others are
gaining in popularity. These breeds
differ widely in their special points of
usefulness for various sections and
systems of management. These points
are carefully developed in Breeds of
Sheep for the Farm" (Farmers' Bulle-
tin 576).
Sheep require a very much smaller
proportion of grain than is required
by other meat animals, as they get

much of their nourishment from rough
permanent pasture, and at the same
time they keep down the weeds, which
Is an improvement to the pasture.
This information, with much else of in
terest and value, is to be found in
'The Place of Sheep on New England
Farms" Farmers Bulletin 929).
Sheep raising does not require ex-
pensive equipment or heavy labor.
In mild ATTITUDES little housing is need
Ell. Important features of buildings
for sheep, drawings, and bills Of ma
terials for barns, sheds, feed racks,
ETC.. are given in Equipment for Farm
Sheep Raising" [Farmers' Bulletin
810). In any sheep enterprise prOvi-
sion must be made for the guarding or
fencing-in of the flock. for not only are
the animals prone to stray from home
pastures, but they are favorite prey
for dogs, which annually infiict great
losses on the industry. Winter care
must be provided for, and feed and
sheltered quarters must be available
in cold weather. Persons who desire
to raise sheep are advised to enter the
industry with a view. of staying for
several years at least. The useful life
Of sheep is about six years.

Careful Storage Saves Vegetables.

Careful Storage Saves Vegetables.
Sweet potatoes may be kept until
January if cleaned, dried, and packed
in chaff so that they will not touch
one another.
Potatoes are kept without difficulty
in a cool, dry, and dark place. Sprouts
should not be allowed to grow in the
spring.
Carrots, parsnips, and turnips, etc,
remain plump and fresh if placed in
earth or sand-filled boxes on the cellar
floor.
Pumpkins and squash must be thor
oughly ripe and mature to keep well.
They should be dried from time to
time with a cloth and kept, not on
the cellar floor, but on shelf, and
well separated.
Cabbages should be placed in bar
rels, with the roots uppermost.
Celery should be neither trimmed
nor washed, but packed, heads up, in
long, deep boxes, which should then be
filled with dry earth.
Tomatoes may be kept until January
if gathered just before frost, wiped
dry. and placed on straw-cOvered racks
in the cellar. They should be firm and
weIl-grown specimens, not yet begin
ming to turn. AS they ripen they
may be taken out for table use, and
any soft or decaying ones must be re-
moved.
Apples, if for use during the au-
tumn, may be stored in barrels; but
if they are to be kept till late winter
or spring they must be of a variety
known to keep well and they must
be hand-picked and without blemish
or bruise. They should be wiped dry
and placed with little crOwding on
shelves in the cellar. AS a further
precaution they may be wrapped sepa-
rately in soft paper.
Pears may be kept for a limited
time in the same way, or packed in
sawdust or chaff, which absOrbs the
moisture that might otherwise cause
molding.
Oranges and lemons are kept in the
same way. Wrapping in soft paper
is essential, as the uncovered skins II
bruised offer good feeding ground for
mold. Oranges may be kept for long
time in good condition if stored where
it is very cold but where freezing IS
not possible. Lemons and lines are
often kept in brine, an old-fashioned
household method.
Cranberries, after careful looking
over to remove soft ones, are placed
in a crock or firkin and covered with
! water. A plate or round board placed
on top and weighted serves to keep
the berries under water. The water
should be changed once a month.

until thick. Add the lemon juice and
pour into a baking dish. Cut the bis
cults and place them on top. Bake
until the biscuits are brown. The bis
cults for the potpie are better if they
are very short. Bacon fat makes a
very tasty biscuit to be used in this
way.
Oyster Fritters.
Drain one pint of oysters. Dip in a
fritter batter. Put a couple of table
spoonfuls Of bacon fat into frying pan.
When smoking hot, drop in the oyster
and cook until brown on both sides.
This will take the place Of oysters
cooked in deep fat without using large
quantities Of fat.

In the winning of this war guns and
bullets are no more important than
bread and meat. Several million acrea
of land in the United States produce
good summer feed for sheep, but are
not grazed at present. Effort should
be made to secure the most economic
use of every acre, and much may be
accomplished in this direction by the
raising of a few sheep in public parks,
on golf courses and private lawns. The
