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

prepared by tho United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Corriedale sheep developed In Aus
tralia mainly by Lincoln-Merino
cross. are being studied by the United
States department of agriculture at
the government 28OOO-acre sheep-ex-
pertinent ranch at Dubois, Idaho.
There are at present about 1900 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
ment. but since that time many large
private importations have been made
Part Of the sheep on the Dubois range
are being kept as straight Corriedales
while others are being crossed with
American crosSbreds.

Ordinarily the fall crop of pigs is
narrowed between the middle of Au-

highly important that sows be well
fed and carefully tended during this
time, the care and management of the
dams being practically the same as
that followed when the spring filters
are narrowed. Similarly. fall pigs, af-

that in many parts of the country fall

RUSSIANS HIT BY FAMINES
Shortages Of Food Date From 1900
5000, 900 Persons Reduced to Star
walton in Famine Of 1911.

Next TO the proletariat OF India and
China, the Russian peasant feels the
pinch of poverty and hunger more
keenly and more frequently than any
other, says the National Geographic
Society. One of the earliest Russian
famines on record was that of 1900,
with death toll of 100000 peasants.
Cats, dogs and rats were eaten. and
even the strong overcame the weak.
Human flesh was Sold in the markets
Three Russian famlnes of recent
date were among the most severe in
history-in 1891, 1906 and 1911. Dur
Ing the ten years following the first
of these, the government allotted
nearly S125,0Oo,OO0 for relief. but the
sums were not always judiciously ex-
pended. In 1906 the government gave
40 pounds of -four month TO all per-
sons under eighteen years old and over
received no allowance, and the older
and younger shared their pittance
with the others.
The famine of 1911 extended over
one-third the area OF Europe and af-
fected 30,0OO,OO0 persons, while g.
100000 were reduced to starvation.
Weeds, the bark Of trees and bitter
bread made of acorns, constituted
the chief diet.

TREES GROW BEST ON SLOPES
Rouphest Areas on Farm Present Most
Favorable Localities for Sue
cessful Growth.

fBy w. j. MORRILL,, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
Trees, especially cone bearing trees,
seem to prefer newly eroded soil.
Steep slopes are exposed to compare
lively rapid erosion and here trees
do the best. Level ground indicates
old soil, old in the sense that it was
derived from rock, as a rule. longer
ago than soil found on steep slopes.
Old soil probably contains an excess
of soluble salts, too much for best
tree growth.
In the mountains one sees the steep
slopes clothed with trees, while the
occasional fiat spot is likely to be
bare of trees. The toughest areas on
the farm present the most favorable
localities for successful tree growing.

ScrupulouS care in preceding n re
frigerator car for shipping dressed
poultry, always a matter of impor-
lance, Is doubly so now, in the opinion
Of food-research experts. The greater
necessity for care comes, in the first
place, of the fact that there is na-
tion-wide ice shortage. The second
important el~ ,nent is that, following
the stress of wartime transportation,
the refrigerator equipment of the coun-
try is in rundown condition. The
car should be carefully examined, the
experts say, to see that it admits not
even pin point of light. Then II
should be tested and, if it fall short of
standard, there should be no hesita-
ton about rejecting it and calling on
the railroad agent for a car that will
meet the requirements. Extreme care
the experts believ>. is essential just
now for the preser alton of poultry In
transit, and the chief of the depart
ment's food research laboratory has
Just issued the following definite in
formation as to how satisfactory re.
suits are to be attained:

plenty of dry, bright, clean bedding
freQuently-once every two or three
days II 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 cold air. often covered
with steam. and consequently are like
~ 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, 1t is
as profitable to raise autumn porkers
as 1t Is to produce spring pigs, despite
the common belief to the contrary.

Then add the remainder of the calcu-
