While it is not my purpose to try to induce stockmen to abandon cattle and pork production and engage ex clusively in she" raising, I do claim ttiat from ten one hundred more cheep could be profitably maintained ca very large portion of our farms Well-Bred Specimen. *ln addition to the live stock that are already kept thereon. For a period of 28 years I have been engaged In gen eral farming and stockraislng where 1 now reside. I have been raising horses, cattle and hogs during this en tire period, and for the last 16 years I have kept from 100 to 125 breeding eves of the mutton type. I have en deavored to produce as good stock of all kinds as I coulvl, and to keep them Itf the most profitable manner. I have found no other class of live stock more profitable in dollars and cents than the sheep. Aside from this fact, I find that I can now keep as much other stock as formerly In addition to the sheep. Stome of my fields produce twice as tnuch grain as formerly, and my grass {lands are much more productive than they were. There Is no great mystery 'connected with the care of the farm flock, but there is more to do than to .purchase a flock and turn them out to ahlft for themselves without proper at tention and shelter, if one expects to add to his bank account. Costly barns are not a necessity, but some sort of a shed that will keep them dry is needed. Let your roofs be constructed of shingles, boards, iron or any mate rial that will keep off cold rains, sleet, etc. I prefer a shed extending east and west, open or partly so on the south' side, so arranged that it can be Prize Mutton and Wool Sheep. closed if bad stornuf occur. Givd plenty of pure air, a dry place to lie down, add all the sunshine possible, thereby adding to the comfort and thrift of the flock and the profits of the owner. HARVEST CROPS WITH SWINE Reeulta Given of Experiment Conduct* ed by Ohio Station—Best Gains Made on Clover. fit tests made by the Ohio station three lots of pigs were fed 30 days as follows: Lot 1, ear corn and clov er pasture lot 2, allowed to hog down rye, and lot 8, ear corn and rape pas ture. In addition all lots weie fed approximately one-fourth pound of tankage dally per pig. The respective lots made average daily gains of 0.82, 0.57 and 0.75 pounds per pig, and con sumed, aside from pasture, 2.66, 6.34, and 2.91 pounds of feed per pound of gain. Lot 2 was then put In with lot 1 on clover and lot 3 remained on the rape, where the pigs were ,fed for 26 days. The pigs on clow.r made an av erage daily gain per pig of 0.75 pounds, consuming 3.61 pounds of feed aside from pasture per pound of gain, and the lot on clover, 0.87 pounds gain, consuming 3.16 pounds of feed per pound of gain.

Farmers in all sections of Iowa aave taken up the keeping of cost accounts on different farm enterprises under the supervision of county agents and farm management demonstrators from the extension department at Iowa State college. This system of cost accounting has been developed for the farmers to help them Increase their efficiency for war production. The system helps them to decide what and how much of each farm enterprise should be included in their, farm business. It. also helps them to increase the efficiency of farm labor. It is believed 4y officials in charge of the work that the results obtained will be of value In helping to settle the agitation regarding price fixing. Corn, hogs and beef cattle are the branches of farming upon which the most accounts have been started. A considerable number of accounts have also been established by dairymen Sheep, oats, wheat and sweet clover are other farming enterprises which have teen chosen by farmers for their cost account projects. NEW KIND OF CANNING SCHOOL An innovation in methods of con ducting canning schools has been de vised by Miss Helen Burling, county home demonstration agent of Cerro Gordo county, with headquarters at Mason City. Miss Burling has opened every pub lie school in Mason City and has es tablished canning schools, which are open from one to three afternoons a week. She has trained three to five women in each community to tak? charge of these schools each after noon. The housewives in each neigh borhood go to the school nearest them and bring their jars and material with them. Their canning is done at the school under the supervision of these women who have been specially trained. In this way the canning dem onstrations will reach practically ev ery housewife in the country, as this system is being extended throughout the county. CONCRETE FLOOR SAVES FEED. Successful hog feeders are nearly unanimous in advocating the use of concrete feeding floors, according to the observations of animal husbandry men at Iowa State college. There is a great saving of feed, feeding is made easier and the hogs make greater gains. Sanitation Is much improved, thereby reducing disease and making it easier to clean uu the animals or marketable shape. After the harvesting and threshing season is over there will be time for the farmer to put in this concrete floor. Such floors are easily made and are inexpensive in comparison with the saving they make. In building them it is well to have a foundation that will keep out the rats. With the scarcity of feed and the necessity for avoiding waste as far as possible, it is more than ever advisable for ,the farmer to IfiSfvtf a good concrete1 'feed ing floor to conserve feed in his opera tions. MANURE RETURNS PLANT FOOD About three-fourths of the nitrogen and phosphoric acid in the feeds con sumed by animals is returned in the form of manure. The rest of the plant food in these feeds goes to build up animal tissue. The amounts' of the various plant foods found in farm manure vary con siderably, depending upon the kind of animal, its age and the kind of feed consumed. Professor VanSlyke of the New York experiment station found that the manure produced in a year by a horse of 1,000 pounds live weight contained 128 pounds of nitro gen and 43 pounds phosphoric acid. The value of these constituents was computed at $23.60. The cow produced, per 1,000 pounds live weight, 156 pounds nitrogen and 38 pounds phos phoric acid, with a value of $29.60. For the pig the figures were 150 and 104, with a value of $30.00, and for the sheep, 119 and 44, with a value of $24.25. From these figures it may be seen that cow and pig manure are the more valuable, if they are properly taken care of. This data should also make it clear to the reader that It pays to properly conserve manure. OTTUMWA DRIER SUCCESSFUL One of thr ~,ost successful com munity drie in Iowa Is located at Ottumwa. 1U capacity is about 800 pounds of food material before drying per day. Any person in Wapello coun ty can bring food to the caretaker and receive it after it is dried. A nominal charge is made to cover the cost of operation. TheJpatronage has so far been excellent and the drier is run ning to capacity. In connection with the subject of home drying, home economics exten sion workers at Iowa State college announce that now is the time to dry beans, greens of all kinds, peas, rhu barb, carrots and soup stock. These vegetables should be thoroughly wash ed before drying. To cook dried vegetables after they have dried, it is first necessary to wash the dried material, then soak with three parts of water for one part vegetable for 12 hours or over night. They can then be allowed to simmer with seasoning for three hours in the same water in which they were soaked. H. P. Saggau, proprietor of the Denison Auto company, received a consignment of Fordson tractors last week which are attracting consider able attention. Mr. Saggau tells us the tractor is a great success, and con sidered the best on the market. The machine will do the heaviest kind of plowing and is capable of traveling 15 miles an hour over good roads. All of the tractors were contracted for be fore they reached Denison.

COLD IN NORTHERN SIBERIA Ninety Qegrees Below Zero Is Record for the Whole World—Eighty Above In Summer Time. Turn up your collar, thrust your hands to the bottom of your pockets, nnd read about the "cold pole" of northern Siberia, where the natives speak patronizingly about Greenland's icy mountains and other such relative ly balmy resorts. At the town of Verk oyansk, which would probably never have had any inhabitants if the late czar's government had not sent oc casional batches of exiles thither, says Popular Science Monthly, the temper ature has been known to drop to 90 degrees below zero, which is a "rec ord" for the whole world. While the regions about the north and south poles of'the earth are cold all the time, the Siberian'"cold pole gives Its Inhabitants a comfortable let up In summer, when the thermometer frequently climbs up Into tjie 80's above zero. During the brief summer season the Hfe-glvlng rays of the sun, which remains about the horizon day and nlglit for some time during the height of the season, exert an intense ly stimulating Influence upon the veg etation, and the ground is covered with flowers. Played Too Slow Pieces. Wlenlawskl had his humorous ex periences—this even after he was quite widely known. On one occasion, relates Alexander Bloch |n the New York Times, he was asked by a wealthy British nobleman to state his terms for playing a half-hour at his home. They came to an agreement, and on the evening of the musicale Wlenlawskl opened the program with Beethoven's Romanze lit F. He was playing his best and deeply engrossed In the music when he sud denly noticed out of the corner of his eye the host nervously looking at his watch. This happened several times before the Romanze was finished. At its close,| as he was bowing his acknowledgments to rapturous ap plause, the British peer caught him by the sleeve and whimpered In his ear: "For heaven's sake, man, how much do you expect to get through in' half an hour at this rate? Why do you play such slow pieces?" Steady as a Rock. Farmer Haye—That Jones boy that nsed to work for you wants me to give him a job. Is he steady?

Christian Glfl, president of the Standard Parts company of Cleveland, O., says in the American Magazine: "When a man of noticeably youthful appearance goes to a cautious banker seeking to finance even the soundest kind of a proposition, his line 6f argu ment Is discounted'before he says a word, by his youthful looks. The banker is afraid of being carried away by mere boyish enthusiasm nnd Is on his guard. If I were much under thir ty-five and had a tiptop business scheme to finance, I would get an old er man of established reliability and conservatism to present it for me to the bankers. "Youth is not always so good, either, In the production end of a big busi ness—handling a force of men and getting the work out of them. In the first place, the man who is bossing the iob should have occupied all the lesser jobs between him and the bottom rung of the ladder. This requires time. And. furthermore, men do not like to work under a boss who looks too much like a mere boy, no matter how smart or capable or experienced he may be. It isn't necessary that he be as old as most of them, but he should be old enough to give an impression of ma turity. The average workman doesn't care much whether the boss Is thirty or forty, but it might make a differ ence whether he Is thirty or only twenty." Painter's Frenzy. The painter-engraver, Alexander La nols, excelled In Oriental scenes. He had passed half his life in the hands of the Musselman. His works were full of light, full of color, full of move ment. During his last illness, at Par Is, where his elegant apartments looked out upon the quay, he was on his couch, burning up with fever. From time to time he threw a glance upon a beautiful Vim Dyck. The pic ture was covered by a glass. Sudden ly In the reflections of a glass of water he Imagined that he saw In the spark ling light a dance of odalisques, such as in former days he had seen in Con stantinople. He could not restrain himself. He leaped from his bed and, all trembling, he seized his palette, his brushes, and frantically set at \fork upon a marvelous sketch. His wife found him, nude save for a slight covering over his shoulders, his eyes sunken, his teeth chattering, painting with the fury of a madman. She led him back to his couch. He died a few days later, and the last picture of the great artist remained unfinished, rnmMii'WimmBi •HWtfX I !A fV'-H'-H I'* *H' Hi W --^rym 3 1 MELON WILT CAUSING DAMAGE Melon growers in certain parts of Iowa are much distressed at the pres ent time because of the attacks^ upon their vines by the melon wilt.

Nature may be warning you of approaching drop sy, gfavel or Bright's disease. Kid ney disease is seldom fatal if treated in time, but neglect may pave the way. Don't neglect a lame or aching back another day. Don't ignore dizzy spells headaches, weariness or depression. If you feel you need kidney help begin using the reliable, tljne-tried remedy, Doan's Kidney! Pills. For (0 years Doan's have been found effective. En dorsed by grateful people. Mrs. R. "T. Maynard, Woodbine, Iowa, says: "I have taken Doan's Kid ney Pills off and on for the past two years and they have done me more good than anything else I have ever used. Rheumatic pains were the worst trouble I had. My limbs were swollen, I had pains in my hands and joints and I ached all over. My back was so lame. I couldn't get around and my feet were so swollen I couldn't stand up. I used Doan's Kidney Pills and they helped me at once. The swellings went away my kidneys became nor mal and my back got strong. Since then I have been better than before in years." Price 60c at all dealers. Dont simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney) Pills-r-the same that Mrs. Maynard had. Foster-Mllburn Co., Mfgra., Buffalo, N. Y, 4 n^mamtmiRMaff! This disease, which attacks melons and cu cumbers, can be told by the wilting of the leaders of the vines. The wilt starts at the tip of these leaders and gradually runs back to the main plant. After the disease becomes estab lished the only treatment Is to pull out or cut off the affected parts of the vines, say the truck crops men at Iowa State college. To prevent the wilt, it is necessary to keep the cucumber and melon beetles off the vines.11 Plant pathologists have proved that this in sect transmits the melon wilt and it should therefore be destroyed in the spring and kept off in the summer with a repellant, such as Bordeaux mixture sprayed on the vines. Growers whose vines have been af fected are advised to clean up their melon ground this fall and destroy all beetles to reduce the chances of the disease appearing next year. FOR Methods of reducing the consump tion of sugar in soft drinks has been worked out by the bureau of chemistry, United States department of agricul ture, .which is now co-operating with the producers throughout the United States. The bureau has prepared di rections for making soft drinks that include formulas that utilize substi tute sweet materials such as corn sirup (ordinary glucose), corn sugar, maltose sirup, honey and high grade refiner's sirup. By following these directions, which are being distribut ed among bottlers the actual sugar content in soft drinks can be cut to 50 per cent or less. A saving of approxi mately 50,000 tons of sugar annually, is thus possible, it is estimated, and at the same time the customary taste and quality, of the beverage can be preserved. It is estimated that there are 110,000 producers of soft drinks in the United States, employing 2,000, 000 workers and having a total capi talization of $250,000,000.
