20 yearlings. 80 ewes. 20 eve lambs and
for other feed.
20 acres clover pasture-Season's grazing
for 20 breeding COWS.
20 acres permanent grass p~asture-Graz-
ing for 20 y~earling cattle on feed for De-
cember shipment.
10 acres forage crop
In the above, sheep would be grazed
as follows:
F1rst-On winter wheat.
condo grass pasture with yearling
cattle.
Third-With cows on clover pasture.
Fourth-On clover hay after hay cut.
Fifth-On grain stubble.
Sixth-In corn fields after silage cut or
corn harvested.
S~eventh-On winter wheat.
At other times on rape, soy beans, or
other grazing crops on ten-acre field. I'M
used forage harvested for winter feed.
Such a plan as this allows sufficient
ly frequent change of pasture without
any part of the flock going upon land
that has previously carried sheep in
the same year. The forage crop land
is a safety measure for reliance In
case of shortage of other feeds, and
could regularly be used for carrying
the reserved eve lambs from weaving
time until winter.

Demand for Better Homes.

The idea Of good homes for wage
earners as a matter of public policy
was widely advertised during the wal
and gained strong support. The ablest
architects, engineers and landscapes
assisted the government in housing
plans. This has brought about an in
creasing national consciousness that
every family should be provided with
a habitation meeting at least the mini
mum requirements of sanitation and
decency. Many soldiers who were
reared in city slums have returned
with more personal dignity and no
longer will stand for their former
homes. They are persuading their
families to remove to better neighbor-
hoods.

PLANT FLOWERS AND TREES
Work on the Improvement of the
Home Grounds.

The appearance of the home has
much to do with its utility as well as
its beauty. A home where there are
flowers, trees, lawn, etc, seems more
comfortable than where these things
are absent. Such a home is always
more satisfying, and that of course is
a quality of utility.
Fall is a good time to improve the
yard. lawn and general appearance of
the home. Late fall is a favorable
time to transplant many biennials and
pereBnials. Roses, "the queen of flow
ers,' may be set other shrubs may be
transplanted; v%iolets, bulbs of various
kinds, sweet peas, etc, may be started
for early spring blossoms.
A little time given to the yard and
lawn now will be worth much to the
appearance of your home next spring.
Look over the yard and see what i'm
provements can be made. Doubtless
you will find hat much can be done
to make your home more attractive.

SUCCESS IN SHEEP BUSINESS
Stomach Worm Is Most Widely Dis
tributed and Serious Trouble With
Average Flock.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of A%griculture.)
In any system of continuous farm
sheep raising, the health question is
of primary Importance. This question
Is chiefly one of internal parasites,
and of these the stomach worm is the
most widely distributed and the most
serious. Fortunately, the trouble is
entirely susceptible of practical con-
troll, and the methods of prevention are
exactly in line with the practices that
result in o economical production.
1t is possible, though doubtful, that the
permanent farm flock can be main
tanned in maximum health when
grazed entirely OF permanent grass
pastures. A system of division Of
grass land into sufficient parts to al
low frequent long periods without
sheep and use of longer grass for cat
tie will assist materially. Such a plan,
combined with occasional use of medi-
cine to prevent too serious infection,
may prove to be practical.
The basis of success In the farm
sheep business is in the frequency Of
changing to pastures which have not
had any opportunity to become infect
ed with stomach worms by older
sheep. These frequent changes are
particularly necessary during the stay
of the young lambs upon the farm.
The older sheep are less susceptible
to the effects of the infection, though
danger Of their being injured thereby
is not to be overlooked. The plan of
frequent changes to fresh feed can be
adapted advantageously to the most
economical systems of using high
priced land In the rotation of crops
to produce feed and forage for other
kinds of livestock.
The principles of flock management
for maximum health and for adoption
to other lines of farm production are
illustrated in the following outline of
a plan of crop production and feeding.
Under a 3-Year Rotation of Corn,
Glover and Small Grains, on
1850 Acres.
% acres corn-To finish 20 yearling cattle
and 40 hogs.

INDUSTRIAL VALUE OF HOME
Well Recognized That Ownership
Makes for Highly Desired Stabii-
ity of Character.

Mans greatest business in life is the
business of living. And nothing con-
tributes 10 much to the success of
this business as does good housing.
Civilization Is built up on this idea.
The most progressive and civilized ma
lions have been best housed.
Today the industrial value of home
ownership is well recognized. 1t de-
velops a pride, a self-respect, a sta
bility of character that makes the
home owner the man to be desired.
The man who can save and achieve
a real haven to house his business of
living has something that differenti-
ates him from those not so fortunate.
His credit is better. he is more highly
regarded by the community, and he is
the desirable citizen.
Most homes must be built on loans.
AS handled in the past, the mortgage
has been pictured a home wrecker, &
dreaded something to harass a mans
old age.
Today the tendency is toward amor
dzation, which is a gradual paying off
of the principal so that in time the
'O"C "hi pc iitc anu SleuI. III
tization removes the only drawback
to the ownership of a home. Whereas
1t is hard to save $4,000 to pay off
in a lump sum, it is easy to pay $33 a
month for ten years, plus $40 interest
charges, which latter decreases every
month. How many of us have bought
things on the partial payment plan,
meeting the payments easily, and
meanwhile enjoying the luxury Of pos
session?
Just so it is with a home. And pro-
vided 1t is located right, one or two
rooms can be rented that will cut the
monthly payments In half. That fea-
ture alone has proved the deciding
factor with many who desire to be a
real success in the business of living.
But this home should be built to
last, to be in as good condition when
the payments are finished as when
they are started. That means spend
ing money where 1t doesn't show-for
a year or SO. 1t means good plumb
ing, good heating, good, sound timber
framed by a builder worthy of trust.
by a man whose bid may not be the
lowest, but whose bid Is based on the
kind of construction that will cause
the home to stand up bravely against
the elements, a real haven for the
business of living.

Another Cousin2

A little Angeleno boy had spent sew
eral weeks IN the East where several
families of cousins lived who were
very fond of him and consequently
had done many nice things to make his
visit n pleasure.
A few nights after his return home,
when his mother was getting him
ready for bed, she was telling him
about God and how good He was to
him, when the little boy interrupted:
SAY mother, is God n cousin, too?"

Painters Hard Luck.

A painter at work on a water tank
at Bull. MINI. foresaw a catastrophe
on the bottom of the ladder and start
ed to come down. That frightened the
cow and she ran her horns through
the lower rungs of the ladder and
started off in a gallop, carrying the
ladder, painter, paint and all. The
louder he yelled the faster the cow
Travelled. 1t was but a short ride for
the painter, who struck the ground
uninjured, but the COW carried the lad
der for a quarter of Il mile.

HEAVY HORSES STILL SCARCE
Large Number of Mares Bred Last
Spring Expected to Meet Demand
for Draft Animals.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of ~Agriculture.)
While there is q surplus of light
horses on the farms of the United
States, there is still a notable def
cheney in heavy, desirable draft horses,
say horsemen of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. Last year,
they say, there was a tremendous de-
crease In mares bred, but during the
spring of 1919 a very large percentage
Of good mares were bred, which is ex-
pected largely to meet the future de-
mand for horses of the better type.

Many flowers are said to be excel
lent barometers. For instance, 1t is
when the blooms of dandelions have
seeded and are in the fluffy, feathery
condition, that the weather-prophet
faculties come to the fore. In fine
weather the ball expands to the full,
but when the rain approaches 1t shuts
up like an umbrella. If the weather is
inclined to be showery, 1t keeps shut
all the time, only opening when the
danger from the wet is passed.

Always Cure In Rest.

Sleep is the most perfect rest, VI

diseases. That is, the person who
sleeps is going to recover, as a rule,
for he is going to secure the rest that
is essential to recovery. But the point
is. the doctors ought to begin refus-
ing to prescribe medicines for people
unless they will agree to take a
rest" for the medicines are ineffec-
tive without rest.
