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

the ewes In doing the feeding and car
ing for them during the lambing sea
son. 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.

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

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

(Crowded Out Last Week.)
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." London Chronicle.
