Successful corn growers look upon a

Sheep Raising Spurred
by Advance in Prices

"The farmer who has the equipment
and feeds at hand should be encour.
aged In raising lambs" says Phil A.
Anderson Of the animal husb8ndry d.
vision, University Of Minnesota. But
farmers entering this field should go
slowly at first and study the require
meuts very thoroughly" he adds.
Mr.. Anderson makes the foregoing
statement In view Of the greatly In
creased interest exhibited in sheep pro-
duction the last few months. which has
been brought about by advancing
prices for wool, a steady lamb market
and good profits made In feeding lambs
during 1921-1922.
Stocks Of wool, which accumulated
during the war and Immediately after,
have now been converted into merchan-
disc. Manufacturers short OF mill up
plies and eager to keep the mills going
have become anxious to buy, causing
the price to 60 up.
Prices of lambs have been at s12 10
SIS per 100 pounds for a long time,
with q variation of 81 to $3.50 for
shorn lambs" says Professor Anderson.
Such prices should be an inducement
for many farmers to have fiocks Of Is
TO 35 eve or more which will consume
green food perhaps otherwise wasted
and convert II into a marketable
product. With wool and market stock
high In price, because Of a decrease In
the number Of sheep In the United
States and the action of the new pro-
tective tariff, our sheep breeders can
surely compete with the breeders af
other countries"

Some Reasons Why Hogs
Are Popular Farm Animals

prepared by the United States Department

What is the basis Of the hogs popu-

small size, enables him to stand third
In total value among all our domestic
animals in the United States7 In the
first place, of course, he produces
toothsome meats which in some form
or other combine well with most Of
our common vegetables, but, according
to the Department OF Agriculture,
there are other reasons why the hog
has become a favorite on more than
three-fourths of our farms.
The hog converts much Of our corn
crop, 80 to 40 per cent annually, into
a concentrated food, and in this work
of concentration he is no waster. He is
an efficient user Of feed. 1t takes about
six pounds of hay to produce pound

In this country pork and lard enter
prominently into our food supply. The
average annual consumption per cap
ita for the last five years was 67.3
pounds of pork and 12.5 pounds of
lard as compared with 600 pounds
of beef.

Selection of Breed for
Good Flock of Sheep

In establishing a flock of sheep for
che farm there are many advantages
in the farmers of a community select
ing the same breed. One important
advantage is in changing rams so as
to avoid inbreeding. A farmer with
only a few ewes is likely to inbred
or use a poor sire, rather than intro
duce new blood through the purchase
Of a good ram. Sheep are divided into
three general classes: 1, the fine
woods, such as the American Merino,
Delaine, and Rambouillet; 2, medium
woods, such as the Oxford, Hampshire,
Shropshire, Southdown, etc.; 3, the
coarse woods, such as the Cotswolds,
Leicester and Lincolns.
The first class of fine woods are
especially desirable when run in large
numbers on the ranges in mountainous
regions, as they herd well together,
retain the wool well, are well protected
by q close fleece, and probably do bet
ter than other breeds on coarse or
more or less woody vegetation. Of the
fine woods, the Ramboulllet has the
best mutton type and is the largest in
size.
The second class, or medium wool
sheep are probably best for nom
irrigated sections Of the state but do
well anywhere, as they are of a dis
tinct meat type, mature early, and fur
nish a higher percentage of mutton
than the fine woods. They are not as
large as coarse wool, for the sheep
mature earlier. Some of the breeds
of this class are rather small, active
and well adapted to grazing where the
feed is sparse.
The Southdowns are the smallest
and mature very early and rapidly,
but shear only about six to eight
pounds of wool. The Shropshire is the
most popular farm sheep in America,
giving a well-balanced yield Of NUT
ton and wool, and shearing II to IA
pounds under farm conditions. Hamp-
shires and Oxfords are larger than
Shropshires, but are little slower In
maturing. Any one Of these breeds
will give NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Serv-
ice, Colorado Agricultural College.

was not surprised. Everything
had seemed to lead up to this revela-
ton. What I could not understand
was why a man In Mr.. Sykes posi-
ton should be engaged In the Illegal
selling of whisky, and take this
chauffeur into his confidence. Whisky
bought In any quantity, since prohi-
bition, had to come from Canada, and
passed through the hands of a num-
Der of men. Was his engaging In sell
ing whisky a problem in itself, or had
it some bearing on his death?"
Miss Potter had little more to tell
us, and we rose to take our leave. AS
BARLEY took his hat, he asked her
if she had been using the ouija board.
She was at once excited, her eyes
cleaned, and her voice rose as she
responded: Eyes, 1 received message
from Mr.. Slyke. I know 1t was from
him. He has written twice, You will
hear from me- and l know I will. I
am going to get good medium to
come and see what he wants to COM
munfcate to me-"
To my surprise BARLEY listened
gravely, almost reverently. When she
had finished, he said he knew Of a
very good medium and would try to
arrange for him to come to the house
for a seance If she desired. This pro-
posal pleased Miss Potter very much,
and she accepted at once. She told
US that many people in Saratoga be-
1ieved in spfritualism, including Doc

the boy to follow US to Sykes.
BARLEY tore open the envelope and
ran his eyes over the paper. I saw
| him start, then without a word he
| handed it to me, and read:

| whisky. Claims he paid Slyke $4,000 for

to be true. ROGERS.
No wonder BARLEY had started.
Here at last might be a motive for
the murder. Perhaps the man in New
York could tell us what had happened
that night.
With grave face BARLEY took the
it; then he asked Miss Potter If Slyke
had had visitor the afternoon before
his death. She said she did not know
whether he had or not, as she had been
away most of the afternoon. After
a few more questions we babe her
goodnight. In the doorway BARLEY
paused to say something to her, in so
low a tone that could not catch his
words; but 1 did hear her eager an
swering yes"
As we climbed into the car and
started down the road, said that 1
did not suppose she knew anything
about the $4,000 whisky deal. His
answer was as quick as a flash: II
never thought she did. The strange
thing Is that in the safe, after his
death, his lawyer should find $4,000,
and that he should have made a de-
post Of $4,000 that same afternoon"
We rode In silence for a while.
Then he startled me by saying that
he was not going back to Currie's, but
to New York to interview the man
arrested with the whisky. and that
he would not be back until the next
afternoon. 1t was not until we were
at the station, waiting for his train,
