Thursday Junel9th, 1919. THIS ALLIANCE (NEBRASKA) IIEIUU) WINTER HOUSING FOR SHEEP Barns Need Not Be Expensive, but Should Be Dry, Well Ventilated f " and Free From Drafts. Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) ' ,. Equipment for, raising sheep on farms need not be expensive. In mild , latitudes little housing Is needed, and the main need Is for fencing and pas tures of sufficient number and size to allow frequent changing of flocks to fresh ground to Insure health. Where winters are longer and more severe buildings and sheds are necessary to furnish protection from storms, though bo special provisions are needed for warmth. Dryness, good ventilation and freedom from drafts are the first requisites of buildings for sheep. Con venience In feeding and shepherding must also be held In mind In locating and planning such buildings or sheds. Small flocks can be cared for In sec tions of barns having stabling or feed storage for other stock, but with a flock of, say, 100 ewes, separate build ings are desirable. The Interior ar rangement of these buildings should be such as to require a minimum of labor and the least possible moving of -V '.

A building of this typo can also be utilized for fattening purchased lambs to be disposed of before lamb ing begins In the regular farm flock. A good supply of feed "racks, grain troughs, etc can be provided at small expense and will save labor and pre vent waste of feed. n HKJtUrmm -Ami, w-:-JgsSSatM. C" PIGS FOR BREEDING STOCKS Animals Should Be Kept Separately and Fed Differently Than Those for Fattening. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Animals which are to be kept for breeding purposes should be separated from the fattening stock soon after weaning. Only such gilts as show exceptional type and conformation hould be chosen to replace or aug ment the sows In the herd. No male animals should be saved entire unless the breeder Is growing purebred reg istered swine. When they are so saved their care and feeding is similar to that of the gilts. : Breeding stock must not be pam pered. This does not mean to neglect them, but It Is not best to house them as carefully or feed them as heavily as the fattening stock. Sows should be trained to resist the weather and to vtlllce forage crops, that they may bave vitality and the ability to eat cheap feeds. Pasture should be fur nished In abundance to these' young Sits, particularly such crops as the gumes. It Is best to feed some grain to the breeding stock to keep them growing nicely, but they must never be pushed, for the whole object In their feeding is to make them stretch out and develop bone and muscle in place of fat A grain ration contain ing more protein than Is fed to fatten ing stock Is very good for breeding animals, an Ideal ration being similar to the ones previously given as wean tog rations. Two pounds for each 100 pounds live weight Is about the right amount to feed. The gilts are kept on the same feed until time to breed for the first litter, after which they are maintained In much the same fashion M the old sows during pregnancy, ex cept that thfey are fed a heavier ration. The gilt at this time must not only grow the unborn litter but must bo fur dished nutriment to continue her own growth. KEEP BEST YOUNG ANIMALS Successful Breeders Do Not 8ell Pure Bred Stock That Definitely Excel Parents. The most successful breeders of Wye-bred live stock are men who do not sell the young animals that defi nitely excel the parents, nigh prices do not tempt, nor equal merit In other herds or flocks concern such makers of breed history. It Is with their own familiar animals that they produce the best results, for no matter hew excel lent the purchased animal may be, it seldom produces as good results in carrjing forward the breeder's Ideals of Improvement tsrTTi rn -ruiwr mrur tutus SETTLED THING RIGHT THERE. , Festive Youth Seized Opportunity te Take Actress Fervent Declare- ! tlon as a Personal Matter. A well-known actress had the habit of coming up to the footlights and ad dressing her lines to the audience Instead of to the , members of the comp any with whom she was playing. , During- the progress of a play a young man entered the thea ter a young man who had been feast ing with some boon companions, not wisely but too well lie came down to a front seat and was about to seat himself when the actress came forward and with mark ed emphasis said to the audience, in stead of to the villain who was trying to make love to her. "I can never love you." The youth stopped, remarked In an audible voice, "Well, that settles It!" and marched for the exit. Priests Make Good Aviators. Roman Catholic priests, who like all Frenchmen of military age Joined the army, have distinguished themselves In the aviation service. Father Mlrabail became an observer with the celebrated "Hawk" escadrllle and was always the first to volunteer for any perilous mission. The day of the great raid on Karlsruhe after which the enemy admitted to 257 vic tims and $500,000 damages, the ma chine which carried Father Miraball and his pilot, Sergeant Seltz, did not return. The cross of the Legion of Honor was awarded to the plucky observa tion officer, who had already earned two citations, and the statement ac companying the award read : "Forced to land by motor trouble he succeeded In burning his machine and the papers on" board." ' Father Bourjade, second lieutenant of aviation, Is a specialist In destroy ing observation balloons. He has woo the Legion of Honor. In attacking an enemy balloon July 19, he received a bullet In the shoulder, but Is ready for duty again. Lithuania's New King. Duke William of Urach, w ho Is to be the German king of Lithuania, will have an opportunity of eclipsing, In point of brevity and lack of dignity, the record of the other William who essayed the throne of Albania. The interesting thing Is that Duke William Is to call himself Mindove II. Mlndove I (or, as others spell It, Mendowlg I) was the first king of Lithuania, re ceiving his crown from Innocent IV In J2T50. He had embraced Christianity from political motives, and he subse quently abjured It for the same rea sons. His life was spent In petty war fare, and there Is every probability that the reign of Mindove II will also Km. !- The Greatest Name In Goody-Land p j " fV1! "! 'J Jlf ,1 111 vi!'H.

Thirty enthusiastic women met at the home of Mrs. A. II. Grove for the first meeting with the Home Demon stration Agent Mies Boyes. A num ber of the women of the city were present and everyone seemed to en Joy the meeting as well as the picnic lunch at noon. Miss Boyes gave a demonstration on Minerals In the Diet. The demonstration ilustrated the fact that we do not give enough attention to the need of Iron, lime and phos phorous In our diet. If we Include fruit and preen vegetables In our diet, the mineral requirement will be met. Miss Rohahr, Assistant Home Demonstration Leader of Lincoln was present at the meeting. Miss Rokahr told of the work which is being done in other counties of Ne braska, which have the Home Demonstration Agent. The women discussed home made fly traps, and the beirt means of getting rid of these very Injurious pests. The Vnext meeting will probably be on Honse Dresses and Aprons. Vinegar Bees will also be talked about and distributed at this meet ing to any of the women who care to make their vinegar for preserving purposes this fall. There will be a meeting wKh Mrs. Ed Curry held Thursday June 12. How to Attain Old Age. Sir "George Reld's golden, rule for the attainment of old age Is worth a pUice In the Office Window as a cor rective to all war valetudinarians: "I have aimed at health and happiness, and when confronted by a formidable obstacle I have first tried to knock It over; falling this, to get round It H not, then under It; and If all these maneuvers failed I have been content to He down in Its grateful shade, laud ing It as a beautiful blessing In dis guise."
