PRODUCE MUTTON FOR TABLE
Sheep Could Be Kept at Advan-
taQe-Thrive on Brush.

Sheep are not very generally kept
Oh farms for supplying the family with
meat. There are many areas, espe-
cially in hilly or mountainous regions
United States Department Of Agricu
ture specialists point out, where near.
ly every farm could keep a few NUT
ton sheep to advantage. Boys and
girls clubs In some parts of the coun-
try have done much to foster home
production of mutton.
Sheep naturally Craze over rather
wide areas and seek variety Of
plants. This habit adapts them to
being kept In large numbers on lands
Of sparse vegetation or which furnish
n variety of grasses or other plants.
They do better on short and fine grass
than on coarse or high feed. They
will eat much brush and, If confined
to small areas, will do fair Job Of
cleaning up land. When used In this
way or on land producing brush only
they cannot be expected to prove very
satisfactory In producing good lambs
or good wool Useful information for
anyone undertaking the raising Of
sheep will be found In Farmers Bull
letin $40 while Strengthening and
methods of cooking and curing the
meat are discussed In Farmers Bulletin

GOOD ROADS SAVE MUCH GAS
Trucks Use Twice as Much Fuel on
Dirt Highways as on One
Built of Concrete.

That good roads cut the cost of
gasoline more than 80 per cent is
stated by Freight Transportation bi-
gest." A loaded two-ton truck was
used in test and In running loo
miles on an earth road consumed H."
gallons of gasoline, making an aver
age OF 5.7S miles gallon. The cost
figured at 25 cents n gallon was S4.33.
The same truck was used on con
crete road and travelled the same dis
lance on $40 gallons Of gasoline, max
ing 11.7S miles per gallon. The cost
In this ease. figured on the same
basis. was $212 The net savings in
cost of gasoline on the improved high
way was therefore $2.21. or more than
100 per cent.
Statisticians could step in here and
conjure colossal sum to represent
the savings in gasoline cost If all the
highways Of the United States were
paved. remarks the Columbus tOD
Dispatch They could, for instance,
assume that all of the one-half million
ton trucks and on this basis figure
out saving in gasoline costs equal to
a couple of Liberty loan issues.
This enormous reduction In gasoline
costs. coupled with the ability to
handle loads with less fractional eff
fort. has become one of the strongest
arguments for good roads. The two
tests cited In this instance show con
clusiveIy that poor roads are expen-
slve to the farmer and merchant alike.
The farmer who hauls with motor
truck is getting only one eighth Of the
profit he could get and the merchant
and inter-city freight truck operator
are paying out twice what they should
for gasoline and are getting only one
eighth Of the profit they could get

Failure in the ability or desire Of

There are also cases of Sterility or

The first step in overcoming the
trouble is to find a positive cause,

search for physical defects, the pres

or lowered vitality from any cause.
When. from such examination, ii
appears that proper treatment will
prove successful, remedies should be
