results from liberal supply Of feed
in the home yard. Lambs make the
largest increase for short feeding
period.
Mr.. Childs has two or three silos
on the place and gives his sheep con-
siderable range to clean up about the
farm. In this way weeds and other
forage material that would be lost is
thus utilized and turned into a high
priced article. Mr.. Childs has also
seeded quite an acreage of sweet clov-
er from which he hoped to receive a
lot Of feed for his sheep.
When asked what he thought about
the average farmer raising few
sheep Mr.. Childs remarked that he
thought every farmer could possibly
have few sheep and some men who
like the sheep industry could go into
lit on large scale and make sue
cess of it.
The County Agent is pleased to
learn that several farmers over the
county are taking more interest in the
sheep industry James johnson of
Hopkinton and one or two of his neigh
bors are intending to purchase a
couple of carloads. Mr.. johnson in
tends to buy two or three-year-
for breeding purposes while his neigh
bors are going to buy spring lambs
for feeding purposes. If other men
over the county will indicate their
needs the County Agent win endeavor
to have some sheep purchased to meet
this demand.
Will Clute of Earlville has been in
the sheep feeding game for good
many years and thought possibly he
could supply that section of the coun-
ty where farmers only wish few head
and cannot purchase in carloads.
Please inform the County Agent at
once as to your needs along the sheep
line.

A Bilious Attack.

When you have a bilious attack your
liver fails to perform it's functions.
You become constipated. The food
you eat ferments in your stomach in
stead Of digesting. This infames the
stomach and causes nausea, vomiting
and terrible headache. Take three
of Chamberlain Tablets. They will
tone up your liver, clean out your
stomach and you will soon be as well
as ever. They only cost a quarter.

The Farmers Cooperative Cream
cry Of Delhi are living up to their rep
I utation as hustlers. During the month
of June 386,O52 pounds of milk and
92,279 pounds OF cream were received
ct their station. The farmers re-
kceived the nice sum Of $1S,960.70 for
n their products.
We are pleased to present some OF
the leading producers to our readers
as they deserve public appreciation in
these times when more food is the cry
Of the world.
j. B. Nieman heads the list Of over
$50 patrons. During June his herd
produced 1878 pounds of milk, test
ing 3.5 per cent. His June check was
$21629 for butterfat and 1854 for
skim milk. This prosperity is catch
ing as Mr., Nieman's renter, James
Downs sold 12,4S8 pounds Of milk hav-
ing 4O5.S pounds of butterfat. His
check was $194.75 for butterfat and
$179S for skim milk.
Next to the highest producer for
June stands Mr.. L. p. Connelley who
sold 440.6 pounds OF butterfat for
which he received $211.49. Following
close was Chas. Wendt who about tied
for third place with Mr.. Downs. He
sold 1920 pounds of milk for which
he received $195.S2.
Space does not permit mentioning
the others who are helping to win the
war by staying by the dairy produc-
tion. Suffice it to say that 65 men re-
ceiyed checks over $4,000 and 251
patrons received an average of $75.54
each.
|, Practically all of the patrons of this
i'creamery have silos. Ask them if the
silo pays. These farmers are staying
with the Old Cow in spite of the high
prices of feeds and shortage of la
Dor. Milking machines and plenty OF
roughage in the form of silage are
factors that will make for increased
dairy production.
