misunderstanding that might
seem a little revolutionary to Little
Bo Peep in the way OF shepherd
ing has been put into use by Paul
Cox. who runs a large band OF
sheep near Pennawawa. on the
Snake river. Mr. Cox's flock grazes
about 35 miles by automobile from

only IL miles.
AS a result he purchased In Spo-
kane a $1,000 speed boat. In which
he travels back and forth from the
sheep camp to his home with sup
plies for his sheepherders.
In the summer his range Is on the

Supt. E.. w. DaUis Spoke on
Experimental Ore Plant.

At the meeting of the American In

versity two weeks ago, E. w. Davis,
superintendent of the Mines Expert
mental Station, made talk illustrated
with slides in which he described the
experimental ore roasting and mag
netic concentration plant at Cooley,
Minnesota, built in May of this year.
The plant marks the first attempt of
this process in large test plant on the
Mesabi iron range, converting henlatite
iron ore to the magnetic state. Mr.
Davis said that the process, prior to
the building of the Cooley plant, is the
result of fifteen years of the working
out of the basic principles in the labor
atory. Feeling the need for a larger
scale test plant, shaft type, an arrange
ment was made with Butler Brothers.
independent iron mining company, to
build the test plant on Butler property
at Cooley, at the source of ore supply.
The arrangement was cooperative one.
An ore $3.50 in iron and z per cent in
free and combined water is treated in
the plant producing magnetic con-
centrate as high as $50 iron. The ore
is subjected to an oil-fired furnace at
a heat of 500 degrees G. After the ore
is roasted magnetic concentration fol-
lows: The plant closed down in Oct
ober for the season.

To Help Farmers
Pay Up u. S. Loans

Farmers in some twenty drouth
counties in Minnesota will be able to
work out all or part of their govern
ment feed and hay loans this winter
by helping the state highway depart
ment regravel state roads, according to
a highway department announcement.
In cooperation with the national
Public Works Administration and the
State Emergency Relief Administration,
the highway department has developed
work relief program for the winter
months which contemplates the re-
crawling of nearly 500 miles of roads.
It is estimated by the department that
this program will provide about 200,0 900
team-hours for farmers teams, an equal
number of work hours for the teamsters,
and probably 100000 hand labor hours
for men without teams. This is in adj
dition to work to be done by small,
locally owned trucks.
Part of the program also will provide
work for relief labor where there are
no government loans to be repaid.
However, all the work will be in pri-
mary drouth counties.
Teams and hand labor methods will
be employed to as great an extent as
practicable.
The financing OF this program will be
handled through PWA allotment of 80
per cent of labor and materials, the
balance of the cost to be met by the
SERA and the highway department.

cline
Operations last week advanced fou1
points to 3712 per cent, and are ex-

present week despite the Christmas
holiday.
A vigorous demand from automobile
implement and tractor manufacturers is
credited by Steel as the principal in
fluence in the industry's showing. but
it adds that buying undoubtedly has
broadened to include many miscel-
laneous classifications long istless or
dormant" Only the railroads and
structural work are tagging.
Output of full finished sheet, mainly
for automobile requirements, is up to
48 per cent, the magazine says, and ''in
northern Ohio, sheet mills reached a

The automobile industry, producing
$4,000 cars last week, a gain of 10000
is described by the magazine as seeing
no difficulty ahead in disposing of the
first half million cars as rapidly as they
can be turned out" and plans are being
made for full production in January.
Agricultural implement manufac-
turers, having completed their best year
since 1880, nevertheless are preparing
