In the winning Of this war guns and
bullets are no more important than
bread aRd meat. Several million acres
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
use OF sheep in lawns and parks has

Shopping bags and work bags have
become Indispensable now that women
are busying themselves about so many
things, and especially since they are
making it a rule to carry small par
GELS for themselves. Already the shops
are beginning to place new ones on
display, anticipating the holidays/that
always bring a tremendous demand
for bags of all kinds. This years
business is expecting a demand for
bags and for the materials Of which
they are made, that will exceed all
previous records For the mood Of
the public favors useful gifts at holt
day time and the bag holds first place
among them.
It is in new mOuntings and trim
mings that the new bags differ from
those of last year. Metal and
celluloid divide honors in frames and
mOuntings for both shopping and work
bags. Work bags are a trif1e smaller
than they were-or those made of rib
bon and silk are. Many very practf-
cal bags are made of cretonne and
lined with sateen and those intended
for daily service in all kinds of wealth

SHEEP RAISING is PATRIOTIC

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 a 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 75O), 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 50 TO SD mead, depending upon
the percentage of lambs raised, the
weight Of the fleeces and the values
for these products. The lamb and
wool yield depend largely upon the
breed selected. So the choice of a
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

inexpensive Poultry House With PIen-
~ of Open Space in Front

Even in a house properly stocked con-
ditions at the end OF one day OF i'm
pure air are nOticeably bad and, unless
promptly corrected, grow steadily
worse.
Ventilation to provide pure air and
dryness in a poultry house is simply
matter OF keeping doors and win
dOws open as much as is necessary to
keep the walls dry. Few poultry keep
ers have any difficulty in this until the
temperature goes low enough 10 freeze
water in the house Then the tendency
is to close doors and windows to keep
the house warm.
This is the right idea, subject to the
practical Limitation that the house
must not be closed so tight that the
| supply of fresh air is insufficient, and
the circulation of air is retarded to
such an extent that moisture collects
on the walls. The proper regulation
OF ventilation insures pure air and dry
ness, and keeps the house as warm as
is practicable without the use Of arti-
fetal heat, or special provision to alb
serb an excess Of moisture. The ad-
justment OF doors and windows to pro-
vide the conditions required must be
learned by observation.
The general rule is to open doors
and windows as much as is necessary
to keep the house dry in cold weather,
and to keep them wide open when wa
ter in the house viii not freeze.
Cheap cotton cloth and common bur
lap are often used In some Of the win
Il -
glass. Cotton cloth is to be preferred
for this purpose because 1t is cleaner
and admits more light When both
cloth and glass windows are used the
most common practice in cold weather
Is to keep the glass windows closed all
the time; to open the cloth window
wide on clear days and close IL as
much as seems necessary at night and
on stormy days. When the winters
are generally mild cotton cloth is some
times used In all windows.
Usually q house can be run with q
good deal OF ventilation In all but the
very coolest weather. Birds can stand
quite low temperatures provided their
combs do not get frosted Where there
Is much hard freezing weather the
most effective way that has been found
20 keep a poultry house warm and dry
Is to place dry straw or hay, TO the
depth Of a foot or more, overhead on
floor OF boards laid as wide apart as
may be and still hold the straw.
Dry straw VIII usually absorb all
moisture, and 50 when It Is used the
poultry keeper must judge by the air
In the house how much to keep doors
and windows open. A breed that win
not stand the temperature when ven
tilstion is regulated In this way Is not
suited TO the climate

This information, with much else Of in

Sheep raising does not require ex-

In mild ATTITUDES little housing is need

for sheep, drawings, and bills Of ma
terials for barns, sheds, feed racks,
etc., are given In Equipment for Farm
Sheep Raising" (Farmers' Bulletin

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 inflict 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 view Of staying for
several years at least. The useful life
OF sheep is about six years.
