1t is doubtful whether man should
start keeping sheep unless his farm
will allow the keeping of at least 80
ewes. and in most cases go or more
will be handled better and more eco
nomically than a very small flock. Old
ewes should be discarded at five years
of age. When this is done and the
poorest of the eve lambs are sold a
flock will ordinarily double in cze in
three years.

SHEEP CARE DURING WINTER
Breeding Ewes Should Be Kept
Thrifty and Not Allowed to
Lose in Weight

GSrepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
At this season the flock owner is
principally interested in fall and win
ter feeding and maintenance. The
shepherd should train himself to read
the condition of his sheep by feeling
the bone of the loin or back. At no
time while they are in lamb should
ewes be allowed to lose weight. In
open, wet, fall seasons there is danger
of waiting too long to start feeding.
Winter management is very impOr-
tant in its effect upon the returns
from the flock. LeguminOus hays,
straws and cornstalks usually form
the main part Of economical winter
ratiOns Clover, alfalfa or cOwpea hay,
If of good quality, may be used as the
sole feed until near lambing time, from
3 to 31s pounds daily being sufficient
for ewes weighing less than $50
pounds. Oat and wheat straw are
better than rye or barley straw. Corn
stalks placed whexe the ewes can eat
off the leaves may be used as a part
of the rOughage ration. If this ration
is made up largely of cornstalks or
straw, a nitrogenous concentrate
should also be used. Timothy hay is
not good sheep feed.
Suage will reduce the cost of the
ration, but 1t is best to use it with hay.
Feed only silage made from well-ma-
tured corn, and be sure that it Is not
spoiled, frozen or moldy. Three
pounds per head day is the limit for
this feed For breed ewes, roots, par
ticularly turnips should be used spar
ingly until after lambing. The two
rati0ns here given will be found salts

IL the ewes run on fall wheat or rye
during the winter the pasture must
be supplemented by some dry or con-
centrated feed. SiIage and roots are
not desirable when the pasture Is
green. One-half pound of cottonseed

Bcnzyl Benzoate was required for

an interesting use in making synthetic
perfumes and synthetic drugs.
Dinitrophcnol was supplied to the
French High Commission as an ex-
plosivc. IN peace time we find it used
in making dyes, including the Ameri-
can new sulphur black. This dye is
interesting because it finds wide APP
plication in dyeing such articles as
hosiery and was one OF the dyes that
Germany was confident America
could not make. 1t is gratifying to
learn from textile manufacturers that
American sulphur black is at least
twenty per cent better than any Ger
man sulphur black they have ever
used ~
Chlorine was the first toxic gas
used by the Germans. In peace time
it is used in the puriiication of water,
the bleaching OF paper and cloths and
in the manufacture OF a great many
dyes, perfumes and antiscptics.
Napthalenc was used in making our
wartime daylight signal rockets. Now
IT is used in making such beautiful
dyes as indigo and orange
From these few examples it will be
readily seen why it is so simple a
matter to convert a dye plant into

The time of the year that a COW

the profit she returns. An analysis of
the figures obtained from many cow
testing associations shows that in most
sections fhe COWS that freshen dur.

ANTICIPATED FOR 73RO
ANNUAL EXPOSITION
100000 PERSONS EXPECTED
TO VIEW SHOW THIS YEAR

Presenting \picture of Michigans
agricultural and industrial greatness
the Seventy-third annual Michigan
State Fair. which opens in Detroit
September l. and runs 10 days, will
break all records for attendance, is
the prediction of George w. Dickin-
son, secretary-manager who has been
the directing head for the past 10
years.
Scores of requests to the State Fair
offices from prospective exhibitors
concerning the approaching exposi-
ton are indicative this years eXhi-

Mr. Dickinson.

all No longer are they considered OF

are rapidly being recognized as ma.

"The Michigan State Fair has been
recognized as an educational force by
the railroads. They are cooperating
to bring the people to Detroit for a
Today practical schooling. worth
many dollars to the spectator.
County, state and the national
governments have recognized it and,
all will be represented with worthy
exhibitions Of farm products of mod
ern agriculture.
Everyone is beginning to recog
nize the value in the Michigan State
Fair as community gathering. 1t
affords an opportunity fer the farmer
to see the manufacturers product in
actual operation before he purchases
and, it gives the farmer an oppor.
tunity to present his product of the
soil which he hopes to sell at rea.
sonable price above the cost of pro-
duction.
Years of experience in building a
fair which will mirror the industrial
and rural life of Michigan have taught
us that entertainment is a necessary
division of the fair. So, we are pre-.
senting each year, more whole

"Our boys. and girls on the farm are
being urged to bring their livestock

one of the goals of the State Fair is
this.

CASTOR OIL GOOD FOR SWINE
Simple, Harmless and Generally Effec-
tive Remedy for Animals When
Off Feed.

Castor oil for hogs that are off feed
is simple, harmless and generally eff
fective remedy. Put salt on the hogs
tongue and when she starts to lick put
the castor oil in her mouth with a
spoon. Two tablespoonfuls is the right
dose. Give it Immediately you notice

importance attached to this day Of

distinctly Jewish holiday Of the

and drink, that they may purge
their souls Of sin.
Yom Kippur has undergone
changes during the centuries Of un-
broken historical existence Of the
Jews among men. In the Mosaic
code for example, on this day the
high priest in the temple performed
the function of expiration for the
sanctuary, the priesthood and the
