EXPERT WRITES ON SHEEP.

The July bulletin OF the National
Sheep and Wool Bureau OF America
(contains a fine article by p. G. Hold
en-. agrfculturist expert OF the Inter
national Harvester Company. It's IT,
tie is "A Bunch OF Sheep on Every
Farm" He is convinced that sheep
will make fine profit on most OF our
farms. The following are some in
teresting quotations from the article:
''No farm animal will respond more
readily to care and feed than sheep
They need but little attention IL such
as they require is given at the right
time
There is worldwide shortage of
sheep. The consumption OF mutton is
on thy increase. The wool supply OF
the world Is about exhausted. Fat
lambs and wool bring good figures.
Not alone on account OF the war, but
from a genuine demand OF the people.
There is wonderful interest in sheep
growing everywhere. but the demand
for mutton and wool is so great that
producers cannot meet 1t. There
should be sheep on every farm"
Expensive housing is unnecessary.
Warm shelter is essential only when
the lambs are very young. The roof
is the most important part OF the
sheep house. Keep the sheep dry dur
hing the winter season and the fleece
will provide the warmth"
"A good eye will give more milk for
the feed consumed than will the best
dairy COW. Her lamb will do the milk
ing and. by converting the milk into
fat lamb, the farmer can get much
more per hundred pounds for the
ewes milk than for the cows and in
addition, the eve furnishes fleece
each year to sell"
Lambs should not be kept on old
pastures that have been grazed by
older sheep"
Three hundred farmers reports
give $3.50 as the average cost for
keeping a eve and lamb as against
s10.15 as the average return in wool
and mutton.
Nearly all good sheepmen keep a
few of the best ewes each year to add
to the eve flock and take the place of
the older and discarded ewes"

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

A committee is at work on plans for
the organization of potato ware
house association at Crystal Falls. The
association will have charge OF the po-
tato warehouse erected at the West
fern location last fall. 1t ia Hpected
this will greatly aid in the ms<keting
of potatoes in the Crystal Falls dis
trict
The county agent has found that
farmers in this county will be able to
get what sheep they want direct from
some OF the big sheep men in Dickin-
son county. Mr.. Long Is taking a
trip this week to visit the outfits and
find out more as to the situation,
More particulars will be given in next
weeks Issue.
Don't forget the Iron County Fair.
Don't let the other fellow carry away
all the prizes. II you have something
you think is better than the ordinary,
take IL TO the fair. That's the only
way to get good exhibits and to make
the fair a success. We are planning
on a good exhibit Of sheep this fall.
A series OF canning demonstrations
10 be given at various points over the
county will begin next week. Watch
the papers for the date in your locali-
ty.
Pressure is being brought against
the keeping OF unlicensed dogs in this
state as we'll as many others. Espec-
tally since the increased interest y
sheep raising has shown itself, there
has been a sentiment growing against
the numerous dogs running at large.
Dogs are fine in their place, but they
must be kept under control. How
about your dog?

extensive improvements to the build
ing, his improvements this year total
ing over $500. Mr.. Robinson had
slS,5Oo worth OF insurance upon the
building and contents and that Is
much less than he put into the prop
erty.
The building Is entirely Quilted and
cannot be fixed up even for temporary
relief. 1t is too early yet for Mr.. Rob-
inson TO determine his plans. but II
is probable that new. modern hotel
will take its place.
In the meantime Crystal Falls will
be in bad shape for hotel accommoda-
tions. The Moberg House is the only
transient hostelry. but the Green ho-
tel which has catered more TO steady
boarders may afford some relief.

OUR COAL ALLOTMENT.

Many Iron county people have pro-
tested against the regulations for hard
coal this year. No doubt much OF
this protest comes because the people
are not fully alive to just what is fac
Ing them. In order that our readers
may get some idea OF what Is in store
for them we are publishing the allot-
ments OF hard coal to Iron county.
Last year this county burned about
5000 tons Of hard coal. The county
will receive during the years 191S-1919
a total OF 3,31S tons OF coal divided

The Herald and News will observe
one day as fuel conservation day but
as we stated in the Tuesday paper
we are so situated that for the presenc
it shall be Tuesday Of each week an:
no fuel Of any kind will be burned in
the office. We can not see what diff
srence it makes so that you save the
fuel AS matter of fact We consume
very little fuel any way and no Goa,
at all, but We are hoping to be able
to get some coal very soon because
the wood with our stoves gives very
little heat and you have to keep firing.

LETTER FROM FRANCE.

Mr.. B. L. Dorrity has received a
very interesting letter from mis-
nephew, Coporal Robert L. Dougherty,
who has been in France for severa,
months with the American forces.
1t is largely personal and while the
writer says there are great many
things about which he could tell an
interesting story it is not wise to co
so and the censorship will not permit
it.
He says: We had pleasant, un-
eventful trip. Didn't see submarine, y
speaking of the trip across. Spea-
king of the censorship he adds, 1--WE
can say we are well and that is about
all. For the past month I have been
working at the office Of the division
quartermaster in the subsistence de-
partment. have been detailed from
my regiment permanently I expect.
1 like the clerical work very much.
It is very instructive I've been gett-
ing along very nicely since I've been
in France. Ny health is fine. Ex-
cept for little cold I haven't hao
any sickness at all. The rather vis-
orous engineering has done Ina good..'
He says he expects to get back IN
1920 and will spend the summer with
Mr.. Dorrity in the mountains. The
letter was written the day before
Christmas and he was anticipating g
turkey dinner with all the other GOOD
things that go with it. The boys
are all in fine spirits and are going e
give the Germans ''Hail Columbia
pretty soon.

No. no. A democrat may be a

that fellowman is not doing anything

 Two long tables were lined up with men and volunteers separating the sphagnum moss for bandages for the men overseas.
 Red Cross woman workers direct ed operations, and saw that the moss was properly separated and that all of the busy workers were kept sup piled.
 A real spirit of patriotism and keen pleasure at being able to contribute tothis bit of necessary war work seemed to pervade the place. as the busy fingers combed the wet moss and detached all foreign substance, so that the remainder could be dried and sacked and shipped to the Red Cross headquarters for the fighting front.
