NEW BREEDS OF LIVE STOCK
Columbia Sheep Are Particularly
Adapted to Range Conditions
New Type Of Horse.

The United States Department of
Agriculture is developing types of live
stock believed to be more useful than
some now represented by present
breeds.
Range sheep breeding conducted in
Clark county, Idaho, is resulting in
type which has become SO fixed as
to warrant it's classification as breed.
These sheep, known as Columbia
sheep, are particularly adapted to
range conditions and are believed to
be profitable both for mutton and wool
production.
A new type Of American utility
horse is rapidly being established, in
cooperation with the state, at Buff
falo, Wyoming. Among the character
istics of the possibly entitled to
the term 'breed-are activity,
strength, endurance, and reasonable
speed. The horses are believed to
meet demand for general farm and
ranch work, delivery purposes, and
for certain classes Of military serv-

and in color Of eggs. The birds de-
veloped this year show improvement
over those of year ago.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF

subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he

When the word "home" is men
toned today it Immediately arouses
the intense interest of most people.
For uppermOst in the minds of hum
dreds Of thousands is the question of
where they are going to live. Build
ing has been at a standstill since be-
fore the war. Rents have been soar
ing until they have reached a point
where many cannot pay. Naturally
they turn to the thought which they
had ignored years before, viz, that
Of buying or building a home. Once
established in house of their own,
their worries over landlords, in
creased rents, ETC., cease. And in
view Of the shortage existing today
more people than ever before are Civ
ing the idea Of building a "home of
your own very serious consideration.
A man who owns his home is not IL
able to become a Bolshevist, on the
contrary he is more than liable to be-
come very serious-minded citizen
taking an active interest in civic af-
fairs and jealousy guarding the inter-
ests Of his community. No one ever
went to war over a boarding house,
but men all through the centuries
have died defending their homes.
That is the beauty of home ownership,
that is the feature that makes it es-
sential to the continued welfare and
progress of any nation.
One Of the most attractive materials
that can be used in home construction.

According to present reports from

why there will be glad sigh of relief
