Sheep Give Big Profits
Besides Clearing Land

Thirty farmers who raised sheep
chiefly for the purpose of clearing land
In 1923 made a profit Of $26,S23.53,
compilation of their reports to Oklaho-
ma A. and NJ. college shows.
Fourteen Of the sheep raisers said
feed for the year did not cost them
anything, because the animals lived
on weeds and waste. They did not
include in their profits the value Of
the land the sheep cleared, or the cost
of clearing by other methods.
Combined fiocks Of the group Of 30
farmers counted 3,617 ewes January
last year, P. H. Lowery, live stock
specialist In the extension division Of
the college, reports. They were val
ued at 500, 765, thus showing the profit
to be nearly 100 per cent.
From the ewes on hand, 3,115
lambs were raised which sold for
S21, S53.2S. Wool sheared from the
combined flocks weighed 23,477
pounds. and was sold for $S,450.45.
Sixteen members of the group made
total charge of $3,e71.2O for feed, re-
ports to Lowery show.

Easy Way to Drive Sows
to Prevent Excitement

At narrowing time it is not always
an easy matter to drive heavy brood
SOW from the yard into the pen in the
hog house where she Is to farrow. To
save time and undue excitement of
the SOW, use a simple device that can
easily be made.
Make a bottomless crate of light
but strong boards. The length of the
crate ought to be at least six feet, a
little longer than the largest SOW to
be handled and a little higher than
the SOW stands, say about three and
one-half feet The crate need not be
clumsily or heavily made. 1t must be
light enough for one man to carry.
When the sow to be put In the pen
Is eating or nosing about the ground,
step up with the crate and quietly
slip it over her. AS she cannot turn
around In it, she will walk forward;
and as she walks, man can guide
her to the door Of the pen, lift up one
end of the crate and allow her to
walk into the pen.

LONG-HAIRED GOATS
GROWING IN FAVOR

While goats are among the oldest
Of domestic animals, in our own coun-
try they occupy minor place In the
farm economy. Yet specialized"
goats, or special purpose goats" we
might better call them, can be made
profitable adjunct to the live stock
program Of most farms.
Growing in popularity and impor-
lance is the Angora goat, or long
haired "mohair" goat. These animals
are great weed and brush eradicators,
and can be advantageously pastured
with horses, cattle, sheep or swine.
They are a godsend in timbered coun-
try and to clear land Of weeds and
brush. They are as easily kept as
other farm animals and are usually
hardy and rather more free from dis
ease than ordinary live stock.
Well-bred Angoras are handsome, at
tractive and intelligent animals that
are interesting to raise and profitable
for those who give them proper atten-
ton. Certain strains of Angoras are
clean, white, nonpugnacious nonodor-
Gus animals that are a delight to
young and old. These specially bred
Angoras grow very long feeces, and
1t Is the extra long mohair that COM
mands the fancy price. Some of this
product is said to be worth as high as
$50 a pound. This means the longest
portion of the clip, which is sorted and
graded at shearing time and sold as
extra long staple. The shorter mohair
sells for 50 a pound-sometimes more,
and sometimes less, depending upon
the market.
In these days when many farmers
ire looking around for ways and means
to diversity without materially increas-
ing their farm equipment, the Angora
ought to appeal to the enterprising as
q source of profit-especially on cheap
or rough lands and on farms not
quoted at fancy prices.

morning came to the cottage; and
Texie still lived.
On the heels of the dawn Uncle
Nick poked his head in at the kitchen
door and motioned with his finger.
The woodsman lifted his face from his
hands, rose and went out.
Without word the old man turned
and, with another very positive motion
of his hand, led the way across the
corner of the yard. into the little park,
out through the fallow pasture lot and
to the Eagle Hollow road.
Well within the dim gray jaws Of
the hollow he paused.
"When p'inted M nose up the crick

half-opened door, pushed it wider and
entered.
There on the dusty floor boards,
partly twisted on his side, his face
staring up, one arm crumpled under
him, with a dirk knife buried to the
hilt in his breast, sprawled the man
that called himself Caleb Hopkins
dead.

companion.

The silver, or silver gray, is practical

Foxes that have very small amount
