Make Waste Into Meat,

The keeping of a reasonable number
of sheep on the average farm does not
necessitate the keeping of fewer dairy
cows or other grazing stock. This fact
was determined by the United States
department Of agriculture in its recent
investigation of sheep raising posi-
bilities in New England. 1t was found
that farms where sheep are kept sue
cessfully have practically the same
number and kinds of other live stock
as other farms of like area where no
sheep are kept, and that the acreage
in crops on the two classes Of farms
is substantially the same. The infer
ence is that the farmer who keeps no
sheep is simply throwing away enough
pasturage that COWS and other live
stock do not utilize to net him neat
profit.

Among her friends it Is known as

SHEEP AS BENEFACTORS

A hundred times you have no.
ticed and been annoyed by the
man, horse and little moving ma
chine going about clipping the
grass on the golf course.
Sometimes you have noticed
another fellow, or q group of fell
lows, going over the course,
bending, prodding in the grass
with little trowel-like tools.
Annoying? Yes; but, in the
ordinary course of things, nee
essary. The grass has to be kept
short and smooth for your com
fort and convenience. And the
ugly weeds have to be rooted
out. Still all of that work has
to be paid for out of the dues
of the members.
And, after all, the whole bust
neSs-annOyance and expense
might be avoided. A flock of
sheep would keep the grass clip
ped as closely and as neatly as
the mower does-and the sheep
would eradicate the weeds much
more certainly than the prOdding
fellows possibly can.
Besides, they would convert
the grass and weeds into meat
and wool to help the nation
through an emergency in which
it badly needs both meat and
wool.

There are thousands Of places in the
United States where grass is now GO
ing to waste that would support small
focks of sheep. Among such places
are public parks, golf courses, private
estates with large lawns, and college
grounds. Over most of these areas
a lawn mower is run regularly to keep
down the grass. II a flock of sheep
were substituted for the lawn mower
not only would the grass be utilized
for food production but the labor now
necessary to keep the grass cut would
be released for other and more essen

OF course, considerable care needs
to be exercised in the matter of stock
ing such open are2s with sheep. The
creation Of a big demand for animals
for this purpose so as to interfere Sc
riOusly with normal market conditions
would not be desirable. The United

An acre or good SOybeanS should

Hogs increase fast under ordinary
farm conditions. They are also very
thrifty feeders, making more meat
from a given quantity Of feed than
any other farm animals.
The marked success of the self-feed-
ing system of hog raising is due large
ly to the fact that they may eat an
abundance of those feeds which will
nourish them to the best advantage.

Weed Eradication.

Aside from the question of direct
profit, sheep would be useful on such
lawns in eradicating weeds. For sew
eral years the Kansas state agricul-
tural college spent over $3.50 a year
on the college campus in an effort to
eradicate dandelions. About three
years ago the animal husbandry de-
partment was short Of pasture for it's
sheep and suggested to the college au-
thorities that if the money formerly
spent for dandeliOn eradication were
turned over to them they would under
take to get rid of the dandelions by
grazing the sheep on the campus. To
day there are practically no dandelions
on the Kansas agricultural college
grounds. The same thing would be
true on any other large lawn. In prac-
tically all cases, on order to keep them
out of flower beds and shrubbery,
sheep must be herded. This can be

Pleasure and Profit.

1t is believed that in many instances,
particularly on the large golf courses
and at educational institutions having
extensive grounds, sheep raising could
be practiced in such manner as to bring
a large measure both of pleasure and
profit. This should be particularly
true on school grounds where ordinar-
lily some member of the faculty is good
enough animal husbandman to give
them the proper care. In any event, it
is matter worthy of careful consid-
Grafton. The gross annual returns
from ewes of breeding age may be ex-
pected to range as high as $40 head.
The fleece from one sheep averages
from five to eight pounds and is now
selling for from so to 65 cents a pound.
One lamb to each eve is a conserv-
ative estimate. The lamb at five
months will weigh approximately 60
pounds and be worth probably 20 cents
a pound. A flock of 20 ewes such as
could be maintained on good-sized col
lege campus might be expected, there
fore, to yield an annual profit of ap-
proximately $3.50, which would go
good way toward endowing a lecture
ship.

HAD USE FOR ROCK CANDY
In These Days of Sugar Shortage Its
Employment Was Quite
a Good Idea.

1t was heatless Monday. A little
girl entered a drug store and ap-
preached the prescription counter.
where she timidly asked if it would be
possible to buy some rock candy. He
told her they were not supposed to sell
candy, but she assured him that she
didn't want it for candy. So he asked
the proprietor about it, and the pro-
prletor said yes, to sell it to her-that
her mother probably wanted it to
make cough strip of, and that it was
therefore proper purchase.
/ So the clerk wrapped up the rock
candy and the little girl paid for IT.
And then the clerk said: "Is your
mother going to make some cough
sirup" And the little girl answered:
ooh, no. But you see we're out Of
sugar, and the grocery hasn't any, and
mamma wants the rock candy to sweet
en- her tea"
It's good idea at that.
