SIS Paid For
Skillet of Beans

Last summer two men were camp
ing in one of the National Forests.
The weather was clear and hot and
the woods like tinder.
Noon time came. Among the dry
pine needles they built fire to warm
their skillet of beans.
AS they sat down to enjoy their
meal, a Forest Ranger rode up and
asked for their camfire permit. The
men had failed to get one.
So the other day they told their
story to a Federal District Judge in
San Francisco.
That skillet of beans cost them just
SIS.
Moral-Be sure to get campfire per-
NIT before you build a fire on Ma
tional Forest In California or Nevada.

TURKEYS IN HIDDEN PLACES
Hens often Steal Nests In Patch Of
Weeds or Tall ofass-Best Plan
to confine Them,

Turkey hens are wont to "steal"
their nests in hidden places, such as a
patch of weeds, tall grass or thick
brush and often wander half mile or
more from home before they find To-
cations that suit them. To find these
stolen nests often proves to be long
and tedious task, the usual method
being to follow each turkey hen as she
separates from the flock and starts
toward her nest, care being taken that
she does not know she is being fol-
lowed. A much easier and quicker
method than this is to confine the
hens early some morning soon after
they have come down from nest and
let them out late In the afternoon.
Those that are laying will then head
for their nests in order to lay the eggs
they have been holding.
II many turkeys are kept, the use
OF a breeding pen will be found a
great convenience. This pen should
cover a sufficient area to allow the
turkeys some exercise, an acre for If
teen birds being none too large. A
hog-tight wire fence three feet high
will hold most turkeys, and II any per-
sist in flying out, the flight feathers Of
one wing should be clipped. Nests
should be scattered about the pen.

The weed problem is by far the

home owner has to contend with.
While in some sections of the country
there are weeds that are not found
In other sections, there are some
kinds, such as the friendly dandelion,
burdock, and a few others, that
abound everywhere.
Weed seeds are produced In larger
quantities than vegetable or flower
seeds, in proportion to the size of the
plants. 1t is more natural for the weed
seed to be carried by the winds from
one lot to the other, thus making 1t
an almost difficult task 10 determine
where the weeds come from, after
the painstaking gardener or lawnman
has during the previous season
cleaned his garden and lawn many
times Of every weed In sight.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
The lambing season is a busy time
for the shepherd, as the percentage Of
lambs saved affects the profitableness
of the flock. Extra work at this period
will be well repaid, as little care
given at the right time will result In
the saving of many lambs, and even
Of some Of the ewes that would other
wise be lost, and will often thus great
ly Increase the amount Of profit from
the flock according to specialists Of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture.
Ewes which have been well cared
for and which arrive at this season In
good condition will give very little
trouble during lambing. 1t should be
remembered that only small amount
Of grain, approximately one-quarter to
one-half pound per head per day,
should be fed to the ewes just before
lambing, as heavy grain feeding at this
time will often cause udder trouble.
Even In fiocks which have received the
best Of care, 1t is usually necessary to
help some Of the ewes deliver their
lambs. When assistance Is needed the
hands should be thoroughly cleansed
and rubbed with oil to prevent infec-
tion and irritation to the eve.
Eve In Individual Pen.
Just before or Immediately after she
has lambed, each eve should be placed
in small Individual pen. The use of
these pens prevents the other sheep
from iniuring the lambs and gives the
eve a much better chance to mother"
her lamb.
AS soon as the lamb Is delivered the
shepherd should cleanse the phlegm
from the lambs mouth and nostrils.
