Chief Characteristic
of Protein Is Nitrogen

The outstanding characteristic OF
protein is the nitrogen which it con
tains. Nitrogen is the substance which
in the soil makes plants grow dark
green and vigorously. Manure is a
valuable fertilizer for the soil chiefly
because Of its nitrogen. Clover Is val.
liable for the soil chiefly because of
the nitrogen which it brings down
from the air. All living things wheth-
er they be plants or animals must
have nitrogen in the form of nitrates
or ammonium salts. But animals must
get their nitrogen in the form of pro
tein. In addition to nitrogen, protein
contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
and oftentimes phosphorus and sui
phur. Generally speaking, food
contains about one-sixth as much nj
trogen as it does protein. For in
stance, tankage containing 60 per cent
protein, contains about 10 per cent nj
trogen. Not all proteins are alike
Some of them have their nitrogen ar,
ranged In a way which does much
more good to the animal consuming 1t
than others. A pound of protein in
milk, for instance, Is worth much more
than a pound Of protein in cottonseed
meal.

California Has Claim
to Heaviest Rainfall

Up to the time of this writing, the
worlds record rainfall was observed
in district on the west front of
the San Gabriel range, writer in
the Kansas City Times says. Here.
on April 5, 1926, fall of 1.0o inches
in one minute was measured on a
weighing rain gauge and was report
ed by the United States weather bu-
reau and the Los Angeles county
flood-contrOl commission, joint opera
tors of the observation station. By
chance, a second gauge of the same
pattern had been installed near the
other, for test purposes, and as both
instruments made the same record
additional testimony of its accuracy
was afforded. The previous fainfall
record was observed in Panama. On
November 20. 1911, fall of PAT
inches was registered in three min
utes at the weather bureau station in
Porto Bello.

"Ridin', ridin' does that have a

it's a sort of refrain in poem by
Badger Clark which has become a
classic out In the wind-swept West

know whether a man knows what he's

or prose-when he's talking about
"ridin'." Evidently they believe that
Badger Clark knows, for his -Ridin'
is probably the hest known and most
often quoted single poem In the whole
West. Last year when the people OF
Kansas staged "a big pageant in cele
brating the famous Medicine Lodge
Indian treaty and other events i'm the
growth of their country, the printed
programs for the pageant included
several verses from ".Ridin'" in the
introduction to the episode depicting
the day of the cowboy. And that's
only one of innumerable instances of
its popularity. You'll come across IL

Sheep Pay Best
Of Farm Animals
Additional Value Furnished
by Wool, Secured at
Little Risk.

There are no farm animals which
pay better than a flock of sheep.
"To prove this, data taken from the
records of a flock of sheep main
tanned for IL years on the Piedmont
Branch Station farm, near Statesville,
nay be used" says r. S. Cur
It's, animal husbandman at the
North Carolina State college. The
average weight of 30 ewes in this flock
was 10S pounds at the time the lambs
we're weaned. The average weight of
30 lambs at the same time, that is,
four months of age, was rs pounds, or
essentially two-thirds the weight Of
their mothers. This weight was at
aimed under average conditions"
Lambs Worth Most.
But, states Professor Curtis, the
!ambs at this age were worth more
.han their mothers, aside from their
value in creating and nurturing the
offspring. A lamb at four months Of
age is worth more for market pur-
poses than the mother. This would
seem to be untrue, but it is true as IA
general rule. 1t is one of the condi-
tons one finds in handling a sheep
flock.
Aside from this, states Professor
Curtis, it must not be forgotten that
here is additional value from the sheep
furnished by the wool which is Sc
cured without great risk or added re-
sponsibility.
Rapid Increase In Flock.
Then there is the third factor
which is the rapid increase in the
lock. each year the average. in
crease is 100 per cent, while a 125
per cent increase is good and $50
per cent increase is not impossible.
It is this latter increase that good
sheep growers should try to get, states
Mr.. Curtis, and such an increase is
hot unlikely when the ewes have been
properly bred, fed and handled.
The man who likes sheep can dupli-
cate the results secured at the Pied
mont station and may get much salts
faction and profit from handling the
animals.

Herbaceous Perennials
Need Winter Protection

Herbaceous perennials need some
protection during the winter. This
protection is largely from the exces
sive moisture and only partially from
the cold. In other words the plants
need a parasol more than they need
an 0vercoat.
Considering it from that standpoint
only light mulch need be given and
that only after the ground has frozen
The best way is to use few boughs
over the plants and cover this with a
2 or 3-inch layer of straw or strawy
manure. All the foliage of the plant
should be left on until spring. The
mulch should be removed as soon as
the frost is out of the ground in the
spring.

Ridin'


There is some that likes the

Grass that's curried smooth

Theaytres and stranglin' collars.
Wagons run by gasoline
But for me it's hawse and saddle
Every day without change,
And desert sun a-blazin'
On a hundred miles of range.
Just a-ridin, a-ridin',
Desert rippin' in the sun,
Mountains blue along the sky
don't envy anyone
When Tn ridin'.
When my feet Is in the stirrups
And my hawse is ON the bust,
With his hoofs a-flashin' lightnin'
From a cloud of golden dust,
And the bawlin' of the cattle
Is a-comin' down the wind
Then a finer life than ridin'
Would be mighty hard ia find.
Just a-ridin', ridfn'-
Splitttn' long cracks through
the air,
Stirrin' up "a baby cyclone,
Rippin' up the prickly pear
AS I'm ridin'.
don't need no art exhibits
When the sunset does her best,
Paintin' everlastin' glory
On the mountains to the west,

When the night-bird starts his
tune
And the deserts silver mounted
BY the touches of the moon.
Just a-ridfn', 'a-ridin
Who kin envy kings and czars
When the coyotes down the VAL

Are a-singin' to the stars.

When my earthly trail Is ended
And my final bacon curled
And the last great roundup's fin

At the Home Ranch of the

don't want no harps nor haloes.
Robes nor other dressed up

Let me ride the starry ranges
On a pinto hawse with wings!

As a roundin' up the sinners
That have wandered out of
