little further and say that there Is

The cultured musicians will tell you
that what the MASTER sing in their
strange and complex studies is the
highest music to these who are trained

the harmony in the simple, lowFy mel
odies.
What to the one class is purest mu-

If we just knew how to listen we could
love the songs of each. To some the
Jingle Of money Is the only music In
the world. 1t deafens them to all 9TH
err sounds. To some the melody OF
their own names spoken in praise is
the only music worth hearing. The
ears of these seem to open inward.

Is song in every phase of life. For

GRAZING WHITE HOUSE LAWN
President Wilson Sets Example Which

of Large Grass Plots.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
When a flock of sheep appeared not
long ago on the green sward of the
White House grounds, a desire to
match the President" in helping to
increase the country's mutton and wool
supply was manifested by many per-
sons whose responsibility covered big
lawns, golf courses and city parks.
Many public parks, golf courses, and
private lawns in the country may be so
situated that they can probably be
made to serve as grazing grounds for
sheep. It is believed that their use
for grazing sheep would have not only
a sentimental value but practical one.
But owners and persons charged with
the care of such property are advised
to investigate the matter thoroughly
before they embark in the enterprise
of raising sheep. Sheep raising in
wolves much more than placing the an
imals in good pasture. 1t has its
technical side, and at present, when ev-
cry pound of wool and every pound of
meat is needed, it is felt that expert
ence bought at the price of either wool

or meat would be too costly. The ami
NAL husbandry division of the depart-
ment Of agriculture will answer re-
quests for information from persons
who desire to raise sheep, and has q
number of publications on the subject
available for free distribution.
Sheep now cost approximately three
times as much as in normal times.
Good commercial sheep at present sell
for from SIG to $50 head.
In any sheep enterprise provision
must be made for the guarding or fenc-
Ing in Of the flock, for not only are the
animals prone to stray from home pas
lures, but they are favored prey for
dogs, which annually infiict great loss
es 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 indus
try with q view Of staying for several
years at least. The gross annual re-
turns from the ewes Of breeding age
may be expected to range from So to
$15 head, depending upon the per-
centage of lambs raised, the weight Of
the fleece and the value Of these prod
ucts. The fleece from one sheep av-
erages five to eight pounds and is now
selling for from so to 65 cents pound.
The ewes with good management will
each raise a lamb. The lambs at five
months will weigh approximately 60
pounds and will be worth Is cents a
pound and over. The useful life of q
sheep is about six years.
Flocks of sheep have been maintain.
ed in public parks in New York and
Boston, and flock once was grazed
on the grounds around the Washington
monument in the capital. The use of
sheep in lawns and parks has been ex-
tensive in England. The 1abor-savina
value Of sheep is important, for they
are neat and effective grass cutters.
Sometimes, too, they eat shrubbery and
flowers, but this danger can be met by
a watchful shepherd or other safe
guards.

Uncle Sam Turns Tiuhtwad.

The money which you are lending
Uncle Sam by purchasing Liberty
Bonds, and with which he in turn pur.
chases foodstuffs for the boys in khaki,
goes much farther than one at first
realizes. Formerly all scrapings from
plates and all refuse from camp kitch-
ems was burned. The old order has
changed. Garbage waste is now sepa-
rated into various classes such as
bread, raw fats and meats, cooked
meat, cooked grease, bones and other
garbage.
These materials are weighed after
each meal, and a statement Of the
weights forwarded to the conservation
and reclamation officer in each camp.
In this way, the army has an absolute
check on wastes of unit kitchens
which enables it to prevent over-ration-
ing and individual wastage. The gar
bage from these separations Is turned
over to reduction plants, which in
turn utilize these wastes for the man
ufacture of nitro-glycerin and for fer
tilizerS.
