SHEEP DESTROY MANY WEEDS

Did you ever stop TO consider what

the first place the band is worth as
much In the destruction of weeds as

Secondly, there is u big difference
In cultivating weeds out or moving
them and sleeping them off. Guilt
waiting or moving is an expensive
method for which you get nothing but
a little added humus to the soil,
whereas sheep turn your weeds into

CUT DOWN BIG MILK LOSSES
Ultimate Consumer Must Pay

To develop better methods for
handling and shipping milk from the
farms to the city market is the OBJ
ject Of an investigation of practices
In various milk plants. which is be-
ing made by the dairy division of the
United States Department of Agr,cul-
ture. Milk losses during shipment
have n marked effect upon the price
that the consumer must pay for the
product, and upon the price that the
farmer receives for the product. The
losses are Of two kinds; those re-
sulting from milk souring in transit,
and those from theft, spoil&ge and
leakage. Both are believed to be
avoidable If the farmer, country deal
or and city dealer will work to-
ge:her.
Dealers are being asked TO give in

GREATER USE CT PUREBREDS
BY Fractional Ownership Of Bulls
Indiana Dalrymen Get Benefit Of
Such Sires.

IN Harrison county. Ind, where the
"Better Sires - Better Stock" move
lei is gaining Roadway, dairymen are
making wide use of good, purebred
bulls in an economical manner by
fractional ownership OF the bulls they
receive the benefit of such sires with
out mourning the entire purchase cost.
In ore day recently the United States
Department Of Agriculture received
statements from three dairvmen in
Harrison county, all Of whom follow
the practice mentioned. The advnn-
tage Of n choice Of several sires is the
wider opportunity to make desirable
matings, thus Fastening progress In
grading up n herd.
In many other localities dairymen
are combining their forces. sometimes
with the object of testing bulls before
sending them TO the block. sometimes
To save expense. and sometimes to give
local predominance to one breed or

this sort Is often highly useful.

The output Is largely used for ty-

found for a considerable quantity for

thought that any material except flax
could be used In shoe thread, but
since, the Russian supply was almost
entirely cut Off. manufacturers have
found that they can combine the two
fibers without material deterioration.
Much experimenting has been done
with a view to utilizing the hurds. or

Hay Should Be Well BaIed.
Most hay for city market nowadays
Is baled. and each year there is con-
siderable loss in marketing hay on nc
count of improper baling. The rules

that 1t be 'sOund and well baled."

important In most markets. The pro

hay into one general market where the
