ness. If necessary they viii follow a
man or woman round the world.
Quite the smartest of their indepen-
dent missions was that established in
a sleepy old world village that hugs
the banks of quiet reach of the River
Thames. The delightful scenery and
the picturesque surroundings attract
the most exclusive clientele. A family
of the most delightful people are al
ways there to welcome stranger at
all h0urs--a family Of three, father,
mother and beautiful daughter. And
the plan Of campaign is the simplest
and oldest in the world.
Girl Is Used as Lure.
This particular stretch of water is
extremely popular. Punts, canoes and
motorboats go flashing up and down
from early morning until well after
dark. Half a mile up stream is sit
uated the riverside annex of one Of
the most exclusive London clubs.
Thitherward every afternoon and eve
ming the beautiful daughter, attired in
the most fetching costumes and in the
daintiest of dainty canoes, goes pad
ding. The younger members of the
club are also fond of the river. There
is feeting smile as they pass in mid
stream. and they very soon become ac-
qualnted.
At first the maiden appears inclined
to be reserved. There are the proprie
ties to be observed. She is no fool. II
is no use frightening your fish at the
first bite. But toward the end of the
filtration she relents somewhat. Her
mother is giving small dance-"Noth-
ing formal. you know; just amongst
ourselves evening. IF Mr.-eh

be delighted to see him"
Mr.. Jones goes. More often than not
he takes a friend They dance and are
accorded the most hOsptable recep-
ton. Mother is there, a charming,
statuesque woman in flowing draperies.
Father--they apologize prOfusely-ls
in a somewhat merry condition. That
is obvious from the thickness of bis
accent and his hating gait. The Wis

there are numerous pretty girls. uncon-

matter off with a smile and jest.
But father is not quite so mellow"
rs he would have them believe. At
least there is nothing the least bit I'M
steady in that searching glance to
which he treats them from beneath
beetllng brows And the hand that
pours out the drinks is hardly that of
a druakard.

our system of mixed farming and live
stock production. This gives the rails
Ing of sheep a 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 cf lambs and mutton re-
quire very much smaller proportion
of fat and therefore a smaller use Of
grain than is required in these other
meat animals. Sheep. are able to get
a 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 collaborating 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
1T 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 a quick increase in sheep produc-
ton lies in the fact that comparative
ly few farmers are as well qualified
to 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 salts
factory returns.

GOOD TEAMS ARE VALUABLE
Mean More to Up-to-Date Farmer
Than Is Generally Believed
Plan to Raise Colts.

Good teams mean more to the up
to-date farmer than is generally be-
lieved. Without good teams it is
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.
1t would be a good plan to get some
heavy mares and raise colts for sale
or to take the place of lighter animals
and old teams on the farm.
