Farm, Ranch Experiences
Sl07 Grocery
Bill for Five
By MRS. RHODA SAlILK1
Sanders CoHntv

THERE ARE FIVE in our family
and our grocery bill for last year
was $197. We have about one acre
in orchard, berries and garden. Last
year I sold about $40 of berries.
also sold vegetables, but l did not
keep record of how much l sold.
think it would cover our grocery
bill for the year. / always can
large variety of fruits, juices and
vegetables, so we don't lack vita
minis in our diet.
suppose gardening comes natural
with me, like music with some peo-
pie. 1 enjoy working in a garden. 1
like to see things grow.
J. remember when 1 was child
there was large family of us and
we lived in Kentucky where we
could and did grow all our fruits
and vegetables. We never bought
any canned food at all. And we
don't now. l moved from Kentucky
to Dell, Mont. Quite change in cli-
mate, but I grew some of the best
vegetables l ever saw at Dell, such
as beets, carrots, peas, cabbage, po-
tatoes and others that will grow
where the season is short About six
years ago we moved over in Sanders
County, where the climate is warm
er and we can grow more different
kinds of fruits and vegetables, and
since we have been here, we grow
and can about 1000 to LOO quarts
of fruits and vegetables.
1 begin to plant early for my to-
matoes. I plant about the first week
in March in boxes in the window.
About the last week of March I also
plant in window boxes peppers, eel
cry and cantaloupe and watermelon
to get an early start. transplant to
the garden when the ground is warm
using hot caps to protect from the
late frost, which we have here
sometimes.
Last year tried some new varie
ties in vegetables and found then
satisfactory. We especially like the
Seneca sweet corn. 1 planted sever
different kinds of corn, and as /;
result, we had corn early until lat'
frost.
We also liked the Faribo Hybric

Sheep Increase
Ranch Profits
By GOLDEN M. ALFRED
Big Horn County, Wyo.

HAD THOUGHT for some time
that a small flock of sheep would
be good on this ranch of ours. So
when, in the fall of 1851, we were
cut in our cow allotment on the
forest reserve and had extra feed
on hand, decided to buy and try
out a small flock.
We got 125 head of old ewes and
old bucks, all Columbus, about
October 10 that year. We put the
ewes on good alfalfa and bronze
grass pasture and the bucks on
alfalfa hay and oats until later that
month, then put them all together
on pasture.
That was all the feed they had
until January l, when we started
feeding about two pounds of good,
first-cutting alfalfa. We increased
this to three pounds by February
l, and added about three pounds of
corn silage with it until lambing
time.
We didn't have sheep shed, but
we converted our chicken coop,
20 by 50-foot building, into a lamb
ing shed. The weather was stormy
and wet, and we lost considerable
number of lambs. Most of the
lambs, though, were big and strong,
and I'm sure we had 20 per cent
twins. We locked out ITO lambs
from the 125 old ewes.
We marketed 1872 lambs from the
bunch and kept four buck lambs
back. The first bunch we shipped
November l at an average 81
pounds. Then we sold "a cutbacks
in the local saIering December 1
at an 86-pound average. The lambs
averaged 1888 per head and with
the wool-an average nine pounds
per fleece-gave us total gross
income from the sheep of $3,643 90
The old ewes and bucks cost us
So, 100 to start with, so we had, after
one season, Ill head of old ewes
and $523.92 to cover winter and
summer feed costs.
That convinced us, so we bought
another 372 head of old ewes tc
run this year, planning to cut dowr
to about $50 head to run the veal
around. Besides the sheep, we keer
about 70 head of breeding cows anc
winter around IS head of calve!
which we sell in the spring.

like to reflnish the television set
into a blond or ebony finish. I
have seen black pieces of furni-
ture with Chinese designs paint
ed on them. Would something
like that be all right with the

contrast nicely with the blond
furniture in your living room.

finish before applying the black

Screens Are Still Hot News in Home Decoration
By Betty Lenohon

Screens are always big news in
home decoration. But they are
still as smart as the latest fall
fashions. They are an excellent
means of hiding utility areas and
can be a boon to any household
For they can be any size for any
space.
In the home, tailormade dec
orative screens are used in the
nursery to protect the baby from
drafts, to divide the dining area
from the living room of the
kitchen from the dinette, to
camouflage an unused door OF
to brighten up an uninteresting
corner.
They are easy to make: Fold
ing screens may be in two, three
or four sections, hinged togeth-
er. The framework may be 1x2-
inch selected lumber which are
dadoed to receive the panels
which can be of a smooth hard
board wood.
There are many ways to fin
ish screens to make them attrac-
tive and decorative. The frames
may be similarly treated, or may
be hand painted with decorative
designs. or simply covered with
gay wallpaper.
Something new in the way OF
a room divider is the four-panel
screen. The black lacquered
frame is paneled with coral
flame fishnet called nautical
net" The open weave Of this
sturdy fabric permits circulation
of air and permeation of light,
yet creates a sense of privacy
and separation between the liv-
ing room and dining area. This
f1shnet, made of woven cotton
with a strong tied-in-place con-
Struction that prevents raveling
has a special finish for lasting
criSpness.
It is available in a range OF
colorS to harmonic with any
room decor such as: Coral-flame
hot chocolate, avocado green
dove gray and white. These fish
net panels are easily installed
making quick color changes OF
color combinations possible.
Folding screens, such as this,
are useful and so easily and eco
nomically made that one can
have as many as necessary for
comfort and privacy in the home
