SHEEP INDUSTRY PROFITABLE
Necessary to Well-Balanced Asricul.
ture and Pays Well if Herds
Are Handled Right.

In this country the sheep industry
has had frequent ups and downs, and
recently it has been very much de-
pressed, Jut it is an industry necessary
to well-balanced agriculture and
usually it pays fairly good returns
when focks are properly handled. Wool
is a staple commodity and mutton is
a regular part of our diet, though it is
much less used than beef or pork. Con-
ditions in many parts of the United
States are excellent for sheep raising
and there can be little doubt that with
in relatively short time the sheep will
be more profitable than during the past
year
Present conditions of depression are
abnormal, just as the period of UNI
usual prosperity was abnormal. There
is q surplus of wool on hand in the
country now, but it is being used Up
faster than it is being replaced by pro-
duction on American farms. Even now
mutton and lamb are in sufficient de-
mand so that, in connection with wool,
sheep raising is a good business. In
the farming areas more attention is
paid to mutton making; the range
men have given more attention to wool,
but now depend more on the returns
for lamb and mutton than they have
in the past.

PLAN TO MARKET LIVE STOCK
Study of Costs and Methods Being
Made by United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

The United States Department OF
Agriculture is making a study of the
costs and methods of marketing live
stock, beginning at country points. The
work is to be done mainly in a number
of selected areas in important live
stock sections of the country. The plan
is to select areas, usually consisting of
several counties, and to study care
fully the costs and methods of as many
of the existing agencies in each area
as can furnish any satisfactory in
formation. The study will include
mainly country buyers, local shipping
associations, local elevators handling
live stock, and independent shippers.
In several instances the work is being
done in cooperation with the states.
A number of men from the department
are now in the field collecting data on
the subject.

tinue to take toll and levy an enormous
tax on the industry. One thing more
together with economic production
and scientific breeding comes the
ability to market products, and here
the community and state marketing as
sociations step in to help.
The stockmen whose product does
not deplete the fertility of the soil,
who adapt the scientific principles
learned in the feeding lots, and who
through the medium of better market
ing and advertising create demand
for standardized high-quality prod
uct, may be assured of greater sue
cess. For if success is to come to any
one, it will surely come to them.
Just now the farmer and the stock
man are down in the dumps, the wheel
has rolled over and is in the mud.
Many will drop out, shortages will de-
velop and the pendulum will swing to
the other extreme and with it will
come the inevitable oscillations in
price that always mark the course of
any industry.

T. r.. vannedom breeder of Minerva
Beets, died recently at his farm home
in Wood county. He was a pioneer in
uairying in the cut-over country, hav-
ing introduced the first Holsteins into
his county. He took great pride in
the outstanding achievements Of Mi
nerva Beets in winning the grand
championship at the National Dairy
show for five successive years.
Following Is the remarkable history
of this Wisconsin COW as told at the
time by an eyewitness:
Minerva Beets first came into
prominence in 1914, the fateful year
when the foot-and-mouth disease cpl
demici threatened to wreck the cattle
exhibit at the National Dairy show.
That year, under Judge w. S. Moscrip,
Minerva was made grand champion;
the next year there was no dairy show,
but in 1916-17-18-19 she repeated each
year he. grand champion honors, thus
setting up record of continuous
show-ring achievement that no other
COW. has ever approached and this in
spite of the fact that she will be four
teen years old next December, and
that for number of years back it has
been the dearest wish of many a
breeder to bring out COW that would
beat Minerva; but she ha gone right
on above the best of them, her only
evidence of age until perhaps this sea-
son, being an increasing tendency to

Since early history men have cared

have obtained food and clothing Us
ually prosperity and permanence have
been the stockmans reward.
But today. if prosperity is to follow
the owner of herds and locks, 1t will
be because he, is applying scientific
principles. During the stress and
strain period of readjustment after the
war, only one man is meeting pros

man who makes management of live
stock both an art and science.

whether in dairying or in beef, are
feeding, breeding and salesmanship.
Economical feeding is science of
feed selection, and yet one which can
be employed to cut the first cost of
meat or milk production again as
the soil and seed determine the har-
vest, so the feed for meat or milk pro-
duction must go into an efficient fac
tory that will convert the raw material
Into salable products with the least pos
sible waste.

Average Farm Flock Too Small.

1.-THE average farm in Wisconsin
keeps flock of about seventy fowls.
This is much too small for efficient
egg production" says J. G. Halpin of
the poultry department of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin. every farm should
have at least 90 laying hens and twice
as many pullets from which to select
next years layers, in order to make
the flock pay. We do not recommend
hocks more than 500 for the general
farm or for the beginner. The aver.
age fiocks should be somewhere be-
tween $50 and 500 fowls for efficient

THRASH GRAIN UNDER COVER
Small Tractor and Outfit Make It
Possible to Store Bundles and
Thrash In Winter.

One of the interesting ideas that Is
developing along with the growth Of
the small tractor and the small thresh-
ing outfit, is the storing of bundled
grain In the barn and threshing 1t out
at leisure In the fall or winter. Sew
eral farmers in Illinois have found
this good plan.
The small threshing outfit can be
left set up, and any day when there is
a little time it can be started and
some of the grain worked through.
The straw goes back into the barn
or nearby shed for use with the live
stock. There is no rush, and no ex-
ira help is needed. 1t helps to ease
up on the work during the rush sea-
son, and keep everybody busy during
slack times. This is one way the big
barn helps pay profit.

The old filthy plank hoored, poor
iy lighted, ill-ventilated barn is the
harbinger of disease especially tuber-

dairy and food commissioner of Iowa,
In report to the governor of that
state. If all ordinances on floor con-
st:uctlon were summed up in a single
sentence they would read about as
follows: mo building shall be used
for stabling COWS which Is not pro-
vided with an easily cleaned, impervi-
Gus fioor.' The dairyman must be con-
stantly at war with filth. The cows
must be kept clean, the utensils in
which milk is kept must be kept clean
and the barn must be clean. An easily
cleaned impervlous floor in the dairy
barn is very necessary. Concrete is
used in many sections of this country
for dairy barn floors. Plank floors
with cracks full of filth are being
taken up and a permanent concrete
floor put In their place. This work

when there is time to do the work. The
floor can be laid In winter If the inte-
rior of the barn can be kept above
freezing for four or five days until
concrete has hardened.
Avoid Costly Mistakes.
A good plan is necessary so as to
avoid costly mistakes once concrete
has hardened 1t is difficult to remove.
Most agricultural colleges have sug-
gested dairy barn layouts which they
furnish free to farmers. Many barn
equipment manufacturers also furnish
this information without charge.
The first step In the construction of
dairy barn floor Is to clear out rubbish
and bring the area to proper level. All
holes should be filed and If there are
any soft spots these should be tamped
solid.
The manger curb is usually built
first and it is very important to do this
job right so that steel stanchions will
fit. The curb should be or 6 inches
thick and project about 6 inches above
top of floor level when finished. For
the curb 1 1:2:3 mixture is recon-

All diseased, badly cut, or bruised

1t is not advisable to store potatoes
