Ranchmen View Results
at Idaho Sheep Station

prepared by the United States Department
of hgriculture)
Ranchmen from various parts OF
the Northwest recently spent a day at
the United States sheep experiment
station, Dubois, Idaho, where animal
husbandmen of the Department OF
Agriculture demonstrated the results
of much of the work which has been
carried on there for several years.
There were 10 visitors, including rep
resentatives of several state expert
ment stations and several men from
the department at Washington. Mon
tann. Idaho, Utah. Colorado and
Wyoming were represented.
At this station the department has
bee working for a number of years
on strengthening problems, range
management n winter maintenance.
A part of the field day, which was
held May 20, was taken up by a
shearing demonstration in which
r%anchers had an opportunity to OBJ
serve the yield and quality of feeces
from the. various lots of sheep. About
go animals were sheared that day,
and during the season $500 fleeces
were taken off. Most of the sheep
being raised there are R~ambouillets
md "oarse-wool, fnewool crossbred
types such as C%orrledale and Column
bia, the latter a type developed by
the department.
The Ranboulllets at this govern
ment ranch are an American type de-
veloped particularly for his region
where feed is comparatively sparse.
They differ from the old type In be-
ing larger and smoother and freer
from wool on the face. Detailed rec
ords are kept on the wool and NUT
:ra produced by all the different
types, the feed and grazing, labor and
the financial returns.
The Corriedales have been found to
produce an excellent quality of wool,
but the Columbus yield heavier fieeces
and their lambs are heavier. A cross
of these two crossbred types Is being
tried out and so far has been very sue
cessful both as n wool and mutton
producer.
The field day visitors were taken in
automobiles over the range to show
| them the results of protecting the
rang where 1900 acres has been In
closed by a fence for three years. This
has been found an effective way for
building up a good stan of grass, as
the feed inside the fence was much
better than that just outside as a re-
suit of protection against roaming
stock. The department also has DEM
onstrated the value of assuring a wa
ter supply by the drilling of wells n
the construction of reservoirs. II has
been found to pay to haul water as
much as three miles during very dry
weather. the cost being about one
fourth cent II head daily during these
periods. The water required daily
per eve is between two-thirds and
three-fourths of a gallon.
AT the winter headquarters, where
there is a stockade for $500 ewes,
sunflower sllage has been fed along
with alfalfa hay with great success.
The yield of this fee has been about
four tons to the acre. Other feeds
being tried there are alfalfa, sweet
clover, peas, oats and peas, different
rates of seeding being used.

Minerals Necessary for
Milk Found in Legumes

That clover. alfalfa. and soy bean
hays are probably the hest ource Of
the minerals necessary FOR milk pro.
duction was PROVEN by rccent tests ut
the Ohio station.
These legume hays contain more Of
the essential minerals than other feeds
and the COW In the experiments
seemed In he able to nsslmilntc these
minerals better than those fed M
supplements In the form Of bone meal,
etc.
These experiments also indicate
that the way In which hay In cured
mas an influence on the availability Of
the minerals which II contains, and
that hay cured without heavy dews or
rain or without long exposure to tho
u ls the most nutritious.

Silage Is Ideal Ration
for Cows During Winter

While II is o practical to send
the cows sorth for the winter. n very
close substitute for such n trip is
found in corn sllage. Every farmer
knows that green grass is the ideal
ration. Silnge closely resembles grass
in that 1t is succulent or juicy and
runs high - food nutrients. especially
carbohydrates.
Cows getting good sllage are better
on. in fact. than those OF poor grass.
Their coats are glossy and their gen.
eral appearance Is hat Of cows on
luXurinnt grass.
An additional advantage In feeding
sllage has heen found. MIX from 81.
lage-fed rows Is richer In vitamlne c
than from cows on dry feed. Sllo
filling time Is soon here. The man
who will have n herd Of cows to feed
next winter cannot afford to have n
silo stand empty.

CHAPTER vI-continued.

When this pain left her, when she
was free of her bonds, no force nor
fear would hold her to Pierre. She
would leave him as she had left her
father. She would go away. There
was no place for her to go to, but
what did that matter So long as she
might escape from this horrible place
and this Internal tormentor? She did
not look about to see the actually Of
Pierre's silence. She thought that he
had dropped the brand and was sit
ting near the table with his face hid
Ter How long the stiffness of pain
and fury and horror lasted there was
no n to reckon. II was most star
tlingly broken by a voice. "Who
screamed for help?" 1t said. and at the
same instant a draft of Icy air smote
Joan. The door had opened with sud-
denness and violence. With difficulty
she mastered her pain and turned her
head.
Pierre had staggered to his feet.
Opposite him. framed against the open
door filed with the wan wilderness of
the snow. stood a spare. tall figure.
The man wore his fur collar turned
up about his brow. a sharp aquiline
nose stood out above frozen mus
taches. keen and brilliant eyes
searched the room. He carried his
gun across his arm in readiness, and
snuffed the air Ike a suspicious hound.
Then he advanced a step toward
Pierre.
"What devils work have You been
att" said he. his voice cutting the ear
in Its sharpness of astonished rage.
md his hand slid down along the
handle of his gun.
Pierre, watching him like n lynx.
side-stepped, crouched, whipped out
his gun and fred. At almost h same
second the others gun went of.
Pierre dropped.
This time Joan's nerves gave way
and the room, with It's smell OF
scorched flesh. of powder and Of frost.
went out from her Mortified senses.
For a moment the strangers stern
face and brilliant eyes made the ap-
preaching center Of n great cloud Of
darkness. then II. too. went out.

His sure. even, commanding voice

together some Of her belongings, which
he put In the pack he carried on his
shoulders. She wrapped herself In

Joan turned her face away, writhed
from head to foot. put up her two
hands between him and her agonizing
memories.
The man rose and left her, going
softly into the next room. There he
stood In a tense attitude Of thought,
sat down presently with his long, mar
row Jaw in his hands and stared fix
edly at Pierre. He was evidently try
Ing to fight down the shock Of the
spectacle, grimly telling himself to
become used to the fact that here lay
the body of a man that he had killed.
In a short time he seemed to be sue
c%essful, his face grew calm. He looked
away from Pierre and turned his mind
to the woman.
"She can't stay here" he said pres
emily, In the tone Of a man to himself.
He looked about in a hesitant, doubt
full fashion. "G-di" he said alb
ruptly and snapped his fingers and
thumb. He looked angry. Again he
bent over Pierre, examined him with
thoroughness and science, his face
becoming more and more calm. At
the end he rose and with an air Of
authority he ven in again to Joan.
She lay with her face to the wall.

CHAPTER VII
The Judgment Of God.

v The man who had entered with such
sudden violence upon so violent n
scene stood waiting till the smoke of
Pierre's discharge had cleared away.
then. still holding his gun in readi-
ness, he stepped across the room and
bent over the fallen man.
"T've killed him - he said, just above
his breath, and added presently. THAT
was the Judgment of God" He looked
about, taking in every detail of the
scene. the branding Iron that had

where Pierre had thrown II down. the

Afterward he went over to h

her, still unconscious, into the bed

She gave n moaning sigh. her face

Some Ways of Using
Big Sweet Potatoes
Methods for Converting
Them Into Useful Products.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Methods of using diversified sweet
potatoes, or Jumbo" sweet potatoes,
which are produced In large number
when the growing season has beer I'M
usually good constitute one of the
problems with which the United
States Department of Agriculture is
concerned. The small or standard
market sizes of sweet potatoes, U. S.
grade No. l and u. S. grade No. 2, find
more ready sale because they are suit
able for storing, canning, and shipping
to distant markets.
When good growing conditions pre-
vail up TO harvest time, oftentimes as
much as 40 per cent of the crop is
composed of overgrown potatoes, and
The development of profitable methods
for converting them into useful prod.
ucts Is therefore of great importance.
Sweet potatoes rank second in impor-
lance Of all vegetables grown In the
United States and are richer in car
bo~hydrates, especially starch. than any
other vegetable commonly grown. For
this reason they are a possible source
of many products containing or de-
rived from starch. such as potato flour.
dehydrated potatoes. starch. strip. al
cohol, vinegar. breakfast foods, and
various kinds of feeds. All of these
products have been prepared but at
present no s~weet-potato ~by-products in
dustry on n commercial scale exists in
this country.
A method for the commercial manu-
facture Of sweet-potato sirup. based
on laboratory n plant experimental
work, has been developed by the hui
reau of chemistry of the United States
Department of Agriculture. While
this work has shown that the use of
this strip is limited by its cost of
