partments.

BRUSH MAKES POOR PASTURE

The following taken from The
Farmer of St. Paul relates to the
often discussed question of raising
sheep on brush land. Mr.. Hutchin-
son is an authority on farm matters.
He says:
"a great many farmers are seri-
ously thinking of engaging in the
sheep raising industry in the tim
bered or cut-over sections. The first
big idea or argument is that flock
of sheep will clear up the land and
pay a profit while doing it. For
tunately, sheep has no claws like
squirrel and can not climb tree to
subsist on the leaves.
eff sheep are forced to live on
hazel brush and other underground,
the owner will find out when lamb
ing time is over the next spring he
could have done much better if he
had gone out with axe and torch md
cleared the land of brush and rub
bish, then sowed little grass seed
to provide some pasture. The sheep
will do first class job of Ike aping
the land cleared and pay profit,
for sheep are good browsers and
keep most weeds from growing. 1t
does not pay to keep half-starved
sheep.
"On many farms small flock of
sheep works in well with diversified
farming. The fencing problem is
%bo ,rraofoc4 difficultv and tho man
who has never had any experience
with sheep should start with snail
number and plan to increase the
flock as he learns more about caring
for them. He has two busy seasons,
but each season provides paying
crop. The balance of the year the
labor is light although the sheep
should not be neglected.
"The future outlook for mutton
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1927-12-30

and wool prices looks fairly good.
The cycles of fashion are soon due
for a change. When more clo1ning
becomes fashionable for women it
will increase the demand for woven
fabrics.
I'm my 10 or 12-years' experience
with sheep, my greatest loss was
caused Oy stomach worms and ticks.
Those who have read The Farmer
the last year have learned how to
eradicate these pests in Mr.. Peters
articles.
''The bred ewes should have the
same ration in smaller portions than
the producing cow gets. The ewes
will not require as warm shelter and
must have exercise. IS. F. Hutchin-
son, st. Louis County, Mimi.

POST MORTEM OF A PREACHER.

HENRY WARD BEECHER: An American Portrait By
Paxton Hibben. Doran and Co. S.
HENRY WARD BEECHER, the great preacher. some
- times known as the Sage of Plymouth" is the sub
Ject of a biography which leaves little worthwhile IN
said about the life Of the reformer It is hard to get
Interested in life that deals infinitely with trifling
incidents in the heros early days Young Beachers
little escapades not Of an unusual character hardly
material for stuffng book unless wants to write
a big one rather than interesting one.
Beecher's chief bid to fame was his oratorca gift
which ne cultivated from childhood. He was neither
radical nor conservative in the church. as such terms
are interpreted lie shocked the stad and respectable
regular churchgoers by the franness of his language
but non'churchgoers who liked to hear good speaker
flocked to his meetings
He did not hesitate probe into the underworld not
however, with the object of hailing the sinful into
courts or landing them in jail as was the purpose
and mission of the notorious Anthony Comstock but
rather to collect material for his sermons on the evils
OF submitting to the urgngs of the flesh 1t is not
surprising that Beecher should make success of the
preaching business for there is unlimited number of
prospects for the kind of topics that gotten to
the ears OF the millions who afraid unable to
SIM under the guise Of serving the ord-topics which
would never pass the moral of patroman should
they be attempted the stage.
On the question of slavery Beecher blew hot and cold
just the attitude he took in the eternal conflict
between his god and his devil He was an opportunist
like the great Abraham Lincoln. While William Lloyd
Garrison and Wendell Philips stood for the abolition of
the slavery system Beecher for getting rid of it
by constitutional action by appealing to the conscience
OF the Shareholders and by prohibiting its spread
Paxton Hibben devotes considerable space to the al
legged love affair between Beecher and the wife of his
close friend Theodore Tton. But the largest Congre
gationa Council held in the United States gave the
preacher vote of confidence in the midst of the tr
MOL over his personal conduct And this is the verdict
of history it is written, which is the important thing
as far dead celebrities concerned Hanging this
kind OF scandal to Henry Ward Beecher is not
near as valuable to the posterity are dealing with
as telling what attitude he took in strikes and cleo
tions. IT 7 O'FTAHEPTy
