SHEEP AND PASTURES
ARE CLOSELY ALLIED

Pastures and successful sheep fals-
ing are so closely allied that It may
almost le said the one can not exist
In the absence of the other Certainly
It Is true that sheep are not being
grown ns economically and advantag'f-
ously as they can be nor are
the maximum benefits to the
soli Icing realized unless pastures
ire provided to fuml-h feed for the
sheep from early spring until late fall
The man who Is seeking the very
cheapest sort of feed for Ills sheep
finds It In pastures writes I) A Gaimi-
nltz In the Illuminated World Life
They are productive and cost nothing
but the price of the seed and the la-
bor of producing them All the labor
of harvesting and storing and feeding
these crops is saved the sheep get
all the good of the crop and they get
It In the field where It grows For
cheapness of feed pastures are not
to be outdone
Not alone are they cheap but they
furnish the most desirable sort of feed
for sheep Succulent palatable bulky
enough yet possessed of all the nutri-
ment needed No feed could be more
readily digested than these pasture
crops for the cell walls surrounding
the nutrients are thin and tender and
readily broken down Sheep are for-
agers hy nature and pasture furnishes
for them not alone the ideal feed hut
likewise the ideal conditions Never
are they so contented nor so healthy
as when given the freedom f a five
or ten acre plot over which to play
and feed
Science has long since taught us
that grass and root crops must be
grown If soil fertility U to be main-
tained In the end all profits must
come from the soli whether Its prod-
ucts are marketed In the mineral
vegetable or animal form and to keep
Ills land yielding large and Increas-
ing crops annually should be every
farmer’s first business How better
can he subserve this end than by
growing grass crops to improve the
physical condition and give humus to
the soil and feeding then to sheep

YOUNG SHOTES
L'nliiud As Well As Useful Idea
Concerning Little Pigs
The following Is n rather unique ns
well rs useful Idea concerning the
weaning of pips without apparent dan-
ger (T injuring either the litter or the
mother As quoted in tlie last report
nf the Nebraska flute board of ngrl-
v nit -ire the author fays:
It is best to weui pigs when tiny
an two menti s iM but wean them j
slowly y this time they have 1 n
or flould have lu i-u running four I
weeks oil alfalfa pasture with their '
mothers Sou e mrnltig when they
Mart for the pasture b t the sows find
the gate clos'd but vilth a creep un-
d r it to permit the pigs to go out
Outside let the little pigs x find a
trough fuh of ttourlf king uppetiing
loud and they will lill themselves up
ini It and then Mart ns usual for the
alfalla pasture The sows are re-
tained in a dry lot and their ration
suddenly changed to an exclusive dry
corn and water diet which has a ten-
dency to i heck t ho flow of milk
After a while you will hear that pe-
culiar grunt which you have so often
I card from the sow and (lie little pigs
will hear it and they know what It
means and they will come tumbling
that will not alone make good use of
them hut will likewise help to Im-
prove fertility hy scattering their ma-
nure about the fields where it Is need-
ed and by eating up the noxious
weeds that snp the life of thi crops?
We should have fewer run down and
weed overgrown crops to-day If pas-
ture crops had been grown and sheep
kept to eat them down
I'or the sake of saving a few dol-
lars In fence many farmers use the
same piece of land from month to
month and from year to year for pas-
ture Now the money they save In
fence they more than lose by worms
In their sheep There Is no disease
to-day that so threatens the future of
the sheep industry as do worms Our
flocks must be purged of worms or we
must quit the business It was esti-
mated that in one state alone 65000
sheep succumbed to the ravages of
worms In the year 1903 It Is impos-
sible even to hope to have your sheep
free from worms If the same land Is
used for pasture continuously Worms
and their eggs that are passed from
the sheep ding to the grass and are
ready to be again taken Into the sys-
tem How can we be rid of them If
sheep are left to eat this Infested
crop? Change of pasture from season
to season and from year to year Is ab-
solutely Imperative to successful
sheep growing and one of the chief
advantages of such a system of pas-
turage as the one outlined lies In the
fact that sheep are kept upon a single
piece of land but a few days or a few
months at a time
It would pay to have every field In
the farm fenced as there Is scarcely
a crop grown that at some time or
other does not furnish feed for sheep
Most farmers however do not find
themselves In a position to do this
but they can every one of them do
the next best thing and that Is fence
say three five or ten acre fields anil
practice upon these a three year ro-
tation which will give a pasture crop
each year or If they prefer sow them
all to pasture and alternate them be-
tween hogs sheep and cattle or Just
sheep and hogs
The alleged cost of fencing Is the
hedge behind which many seek to
hide in excusing themselves for not
using pastures Yet as a matter of
fact figures show that practically any-
where In the northwest a five acre
field can be fenced at an annual cost
of $850 or f 170 an acre allowing ten
years as the life of the fence Cer-
tainly this sum cannot be regarded as
prohibitive As compared with the
cheap and excellent feeds It makes It
possible to use It Is not worthy of
consideration
The man who Is attempting to grow
sheep without pasture is making a big
mistake He Is not grow ing his sheep
as economically and as well as he
might nor Is he realizing the maxi-
mum benefits to his soil as a result
of his bheep Industry

Styles and the Change Will
Be Welcomed
Whether or not the Anicrl-ms will
accept the severely plain col hire now
fashionable In Paris Is difllculi to toil
but eveiy day one see less pufTs less
pompadour and less waves
The Rrlttany fashion of doing up
the hair has become a fixed thing
abroad Instt ad of a fad and women
are hailing it with glee because It will
save them the trouble of curling the
hair during the warm months
It does not require more of one’s
own hair than have the coiffures of
the last two years Druids are need-
I ml They may be real or bought One
or two of them are laid around the
head pulled out to tlnir widest di-mi-nshois
and caught down with shell
pins
There Is a fluff of hair between the
braids and the skin which makes for
some softness
Just above the braid nt the back a
wide flat comb Is tucked In the hair
This Is usually of fh-ll or of cut Jet
How to Brush the Hair
To brush the hair properly draw the
brush firmly though gently over the
scalp and down through the entire
length of the hair at each stroke and
let the strokes follow each other In
rather rapid succession The brush
should never be brought down on the
scalp with a quick sharp striking mo-
tion as this only Irritates and some-
times shocks and wounds the scalp as
well as tangling the hair For comb-
ing out the hair after It has been
waved a coarse cotnb is often better
thin a brush Under no circum-
stances should the hair be combed out
by bi ginning at the scalp Hnd work-
ing downward Instead divide the hair
Into strands and comb path portion
separately beginning at the end of
the hair

This dial occurs in the center of the
card and above it in fain y lettering
