LITTLE SHEEP POINTS
Many Settlers Use Animals for
Clearing Up Land.
Flock Can Be Sheltered in Common
Shed, Open to South-Give Ewes !.
Careful Attention at Landing
Time-keep Them Dry.

By FRANK KLEINHERIG, Wisconsin
Experiment Station)
Sheep make excellent land clearers.
Many settlers use sheep to clear land
and put it in shape for dairying. A
diet of brush alone will not make the
sheep thrive-they need grass or lit
tie grain besides.
Sheep can be sheltered in common
shed, open to the South and having a
hay or straw roof. 1t should be free
from drafts. The roof must not leak
and the floor must be dry. If the ewes
lamb early, a warmer place is needed
for them during lambing.
1t pays to use a good ram, for he is
half the flock. If ewes from the west
ern ranges are purchased and crossed
with purebred ram Of amutton breed,
offspring improve rapidly. This is an
inexpensive but profitable way to start
in sheep.
Start with small flock, until a
knowledge of sheep is secured. Large
flocks are harder to handle, more sus-
ceptible to disease and are expensive
to experiment with. A small flock,
handled right is profitable and rapidly
develops into larger flock.
Ewes need watching at lambing time,
more than at any other. Feed them

The TINT Situation

Our county was allotted 5000 pounds
of INT but only $500 pounds were re-
ceived. Many who placed their orders
for loo pounds of the TINT will not re-
ceive it but their money will be re-
funded. The policy of first come.
first served" was followed in distrib-
uting the TINT and only unfortunate
that we could not obtain 1000 pounds
that were ordered by farmers of the
county.
Farmers who have used the INT re-
port it is o. X.
INT will keep during the winter if
kept in a dry place. It will not freeze
nor will it deterioate as dynamite, but
a larger detonating cap must be used
for best of results.
There is some question of doubt OF
obtaining future supply Of TINT from
the Government. 1t seems that early
in the summer the Army department
reported surplus of some hundred
million pounds of this INT. but at
present it is not known whether the de-
partment will call that amount reserve
or surplus and with the Mexican stu
alton developing as it does, the amount
of TINT may be called reserve and thus
lost to the farmers for land clearing
purposes.
Further developments relative to the
World War salvage will be reported as
received from headquarters.

This is an exceptional design for the

experience. And right here let it be
said that whatever type of home the
owner wants to build, he should con-
suit an architect. The fee is not large
and will be saved many times by elini-
mating the chances for mistakes in ar
rangefaent and materials. Costs of
building differ in different localities.
but by consulting the local contractor,
lumber dealer or architect the pros
pective home owner can readily find
out what house of this type will cost.
Building home is most popular this
year. There is a shortage of houses
almost everywhere, because of the re-
strictions that were placed on building
