BREEDING FOR BETTER SHEEP
Experiment Being Conducted on Ex-
pertinent Ranch In Idaho by
Department Of Agriculture.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.1
Corriedale sheep developed in Aus
tralia mainly by Lincoln Merino
cross. are being studied by the United
States department of agriculture at
the government 28,00O-acre sheep-ex-
pertinent ranch at Dubois, Idaho.
There are at present about 1,5O0 sheep
on the project divided into various
classes. Australians claim for the
Corriedales better mutton form than
the Merino, more weight. and vet a
good fleece of about three-eighths
blood quality. 1t is expected that the
tests now being conducted by the de-
partment will eventually result in a
better average sheep, as to mutton
carcass, than the breeds now on the
market. The breed was introduced in
to this country by the federal depart
menf, but since that time many large
private importations have been made.
Part OF the sheep on the Dubois range
are being kept as straight Corrfedales.
while others are being crossed with
American crossbreds.

Crooked Golf.

Suzanne Lenglen, the worlds tennis
champion, was talking to a group Of
American correspondents at Wimble-
don.
81 don't care for golf" she said. Il
think tennis is much nicer. think
golf is queer"
"How queer?" said golfer.
1T let's you cheat so easily If you're
inclined that way. My father played
golf one day at Nice with German.
AS he holed out on the first green the
German said to him:
allow many strokes did you do the
hole in?
"'Seven,' said father.
'.sIt's my hole, them said the Ger
man. Z did it In fiye.'
"Father didn't say anything, but
when the German asked him at the
second green how many strokes he had
taken he laughed.
No, yeu don't, Herr Sauerkraut,'
he said. This time it's my turn to ask
first"

WIND HELPS ROAD BUILDERS
Nhen Used In Construction OF High
ways in New Mexico Experiment
ls Successful.

A new method Of using the wind in
sand-road construction has proved so
successful, that, after making a nine
mile experimental stretch In New Mex
leo, roadmakers in that state have
built 80 miles Of similar highways.
First Of all. the grass and weeds are
cleared from the right of way, and
then a trench is made through the
sand to the clay bottom. The loose
sand is deposited in stacks ten feet
from either side of the cut, and the
rest of the work is left to the desert
winds. During the spring and fall, the
winds sweep away all the sand and
widen the clay strip. Then the road Is
graded and the work finished.

amounting to $250OO0 had been al
lotted to Dallas county for its high
way development, and it is expected
that large number of motortrucks
will be assigned to assist in the con-
struction work. The favorable recep-
ton of the big bond issue in this
county is expected by officials Of the
bureau of public roads, United States
department of agriculture, to have
favorable effect on similar proposals
elsewhere. Road building in Texas is
at high tide. State highway engineers
estimate that more than $20,OOO,OO0
worth of roads are now under con-
struction.

FEED FOR MILK PRODUCTION
MANY Old Cows viii Increase Capacity
IL Fed on Properly Balanced
Ration.

There are a large number Of old
cows that viii increase their capacity
for milk-giving IL fed on a properly
balanced ration and with large
amount of succulent food the year
round. This is what develops the ca
pacity of the COW. A great many
cows are never fed with the idea OF
getting out of them the greatest
amount of milk possible each year,
with due regard to the health of the
cows. If, however, the old cows were
fed with this idea in mind, they would
continue to give a large mess of rich
milk.

DAIRY NOTES

Keep the dairy COW out of all drafts
Of stable windows.
-
The milk COW on the general farm
ought to be money-maker.
A satisfied COW is probably salts
factory cow.
A summer silo for the dairyman
win pay even better than a winter
silo.
The average dairy COW makes dairy
ing improbable; it's the better-than-
the-ayerage COW that pays.
A good COW is worth more than most
people believe. A dairy cow that yields
an abundance Of milk is indeed valu-
abae animal.

NuGGNS 0t0s
plenty Of dry, bright, clean bedding
frequently-once every two or three
DAYS If necessary-to keep the nests
and beds dry and comfortable is a
prerequisite Of successful hog man
agement. This point can not be over
emphasized. The young pigs delight
in a warm, dry nest, and the practical
hog raiser who caters to this desire is
the man who usually is able to make
the statement, backed up with actual
figures, that there is money In produc-
ing pork.
The great danger which results from
allowing the pigs to sleep In damp
bedding is that the next morning they
go out into the cole air. often covered
with steam. and consequently are like
ly to contract pneumonia or other SER
ious ailments. Dry bedding, frequent
changes of litter. well-built houses.
and plenty of feed of the right char
acter are essential where the producer
seeks 100 per cent pig-raising record.
Where these conditions are realized,
particularly where the fall pigs are
kept dry, sheltered, and well fed, it is
as profitable to raise autumn porkers
as it is to produce spring pigs, despite
| the common belief to the contrary.

Earth's Life Zones.

Biologists have divided the entire
surface of the earth into life zones,
each zone having much the same flora
and fauna wherever found The life
zone in given locality depends upon
both latitude and elevation. Thus
the Canadian life zone, which mas
everywhere plants and animals siml-
lar to those of Canada, is found in
the high Rocky Mountains as far south
as southern Colorado and northern
New Mexico.

HARMFUL PINE MICE MAY
BE TRAPPED OR POISONED

Pine mice. which usually follow
rtoles in their tunneling and burrow-
ing through the soil have inflicted
considerable damage recently in Vir-
ginia. Maryland. and other Eastern
states, especially to vegetables stored
in the ground and to early-sown gar
den seed. The mole often gets the
blame for rascality which is wrought
by the field mouse. Moles live chiefly
on worms and insects and do not de-
stroy seeds of vegetab les. while field
mice gain a living from stealing seed
and root crops
These pests can be destroyed by
trapping on small areas where the in
festation Is not extensive and where
it is undesirable to put out poison
Twelve to twenty traps an acre may
he used. The tunnels of the pine
mouse should be excavated sufficiently
to admit the trap on a level with the
bottom. garden trowel being used
for digging.
Where mice are abundant on large
areas poisoned bait should be distri-
huted in teaspoonful quantities in the
fnouse runs runs and at the entrance

ounce of powdered stychnine, one
ounce Of powdered bicarbonate Of
soda. and one-eighth ounce Of sac

rated tin box over ffty pounds Of
crushed wheat or forty pounds Of
crushed oats, mixing the grain con-
stantly SO that the poison will be uni
fcrmly distributed. This dry mixture
may be kept indefinitely without dan
ger of fermentation.
Where 1t is necessary to use whole
cats, the poison must penetrate the
kernels, because mice hull the oats
