MUTTON LAMBS FOR SOUTHERN FARM May Be Raised as a Source of Quick Profit if Understood Rightly NOT GENERALLY BELIEVED The Following* Article From a Government Publication Explains Best Methods How to Enter It is not generalyy recognized l\v farmers of the Southern States that the keeping of small flecks of sheep on farms can be made a source of Quick and profitable returns from the money invested. If instead of per-; mitting the flocks to run free and open to the ravages of stomach worms and to the attacks of dogs, care is taken to obviate such losses, a profitable industry can be made to take the place of one that is now frequently a losing proposition. Losses from j both of the above-named causes can be reduced to a minimum by handling! flocks properly. Stomach-worm infection follows usually the grazing of unifected1 lambs upon old or permanent pastures that have been previously infested. The egg from which the stomach-1 "worm is hatched is thrown off in the ; fleeces of infected sheep. Under favorable climatic conditions this egg hatches out the parasite, which develops in the organic matter of tlie manure until about one-thirtieth of an inch in length, at which time it is j ready to he taken into the stomach of the sheep for complete development.; The worm's chances of reaching its; host ;iro enhanced bv its erawlimr 1111 on the tender shoots of grass so eager ly sought by lambs. During the spring months in the South from 12 to 14 days are required for these parasites to hatch from the and reach the infectious stage. Hence it is assumed that during the spring months lambs can be run with their mothers on uninfested grounds with comparatively little danger of infection if changed to fresh areas within two weeks time. Such changes can be made possible by using for pastures forage crops that have been sown on small fenced areas or paddocks. In using such a system of pas- I turage it is essential that considerable forethought be given to planning a system of forage rotation that will furnish the desired grazing in regular succession. Farmers' Bulletin 509 entitled "Forage Crops for the South,"l is obtainable free from the Depart- | ment, and contains information that will be helpful in planning such a for&ffe system. Rape, cowpeas, vetch, crimson clover, rye and oats should constitute the principal forages used. Recently a flockmaster in North Carolina, whose flock had been estab- i lished for 25 years, disposed of his! sheep because dogs attacked and kill-; cd 15 of them in one night. Losses! of this nature can be reduced to an insignificant number, if not eliminated, through keeping the sheep in dogproof inclosures. Because foragecrop pastures so greatly reduce the acreage of areas upon which sheep may bo kept, it is economically possible to build dog-proof fences around such inclosures. A fence built simi-, larly to the one here described should successfully turn dogs from sheep pad docks. Specifications?Posts 7 1-2 feet in length, set 2 1-2 feet in the ground and 10 feet apart; a barbed wire stretched flat to the surface of the ground; 8 inches higher, a 8(1-inch woven wire fence having a 4-inch triangular mesh; 5 inches higher a barbed wire; 6 inches higher a second barb ed wire; 7 inches above this a third barbed wire. Total height, 57 inches. There are two ways by which those farmers not engaged in the sheep industry can best enter it should they ho desire. One is through purchasing j good healthy native ewes and breed ing them to a mutton ram of their j chosen breed. The other is through purchasing all pure-bred stock as a foundation herd. It is believed that the former method will prove most satisfactory for a beginner. A distinct advantage of such a flock would be in the fact that they would be acclimated to the South from the start, while the pure-bred flock would most likely have to undergo acclimatization?a change often accompanied by temorary losses. The South offers opportunities of; raising early spring lambs that are not afforded by any other section of the Union. On account of climatic conditions, ewes naturally lamb much earlier than they do in the North, and the southern farmer should take advantage of this condition. Lambs born in November and December can be finished for market by the latter part of February or 1st of March, and if shipped north will command the high est prices paid for lambs. To produce such mutton it is essential that the lambs be well fed from the time of birth until placed on the market and *t no time should they slow up on i u lie. their feeding. Remembering that the cheapest gains are always made with young stock and that forage crop conditions! are especially suitable for producing! ami finishing mutton lambs, the south ern farmer can well afford to give thought and consideration to the pos- j si hi! it y of placing* a small flock of; sheep on his farm. The success of the! Tennessee spring lamb industry is an in dotation of the possibilities of the in iustry in other Southern States. Your Cold is Dangerous, Break it I'pi ?Now.

Agrees on Army Appropriation The army appropriation bill aggregating $101,000,000 agreed upon Friday by the House military committee, carried a special fund for United States military observers in Europe. GOOD SEED CORN This May bo Hotter Graded Before the Ears are Shelled. Seed corn may be graded before the ears are shelled than afterwards. The department's specialists in corn investigations consider it difficult to grade shelled corn satisfactorily. If the seed ears vary greatly as to size of kernel they should be separated into two or three grades according to size of kernel. These grades should bo shelled separately, tested in the corn planter, and numbered to correspond with the number on the planter plates that are found to drop them most uniformly. These arrange ments can be completed before the I rush of spring work begins. The first operation in properly shell 1 ing seed corn is the removal of the small kernels from the tips of the cars and the round thick kernels from the butts. The former are less n-o ductive than the other kernels of the ear. The sound butt kernels are as productive as the other kernels of the ear, but do not plant uniformly in a planter. Shelling corn carefully by hand is profitable. The greater the acreage planted the greater the profit. Into a shallow pan or box each ear should be shelled separately rejecting any worm j eaten or blemished kernels. If the sup ply from one car appears good and contains no poor kernels, it is poured into the general supply and another ( ear shelled in the same way. COMMITTEES ARE NAMED FOR ( COTTON LOAN FUND.

C., published a few days ago says: Dry weather and Hessian fly have so seriously affected the winter wheat crop that the 1915 yield propably will not be more than 580,000,000 bushels, according to the estimate today by the department of agriculture. This is nearly 100,000,000 bushels under last year's total production: This year's acreage, 41,263,000 acres, is the greatest ever sown. A very dry fall prevented the crop from making a good start, said the lepartment's statement. Hessian flv. the report said, had been at work in carious localities from Maryland to Oklahoma. The bureau of crop estimates issued this statement: "The condition of the winter wheat 1 :rop on December 1 is estimated at 38.3 per cent of a normal, which coinDares with 97.2 per cent a year ago. In the past ten years the condition on December 1 has averaged 90.3 per *ent and the out turn of the crops has iveraged about 14.4 bushels per acre >n the planted area. In the same pro- , jortion the condition of 88.3 would 'orecast a yield of about 14.08 bush- . ;ls, which, on the estimated acreage, i )lanted amounts to 580,000,000 bushds. < "The production in 1914 was esti- 1 nated at 075,623,000 bushels and in ) he preceding five years the average j innual production was 441,000,000 1 >ushels." The acreage and condition on Dec- J imber 1 of winter wheat shows: icorgia, 314,000 acres; condition, 94, South Carolina, 240,000 acres; condiion, 96. Larger Acreage. Increases in the acreage devoted to 1 < he planting of winter wheat in the South were shown in the department ( >f agriculture's estimate of the total , irea sown in the United States that imounts to 41,101,000 acres, an in reaso of 4,135,000 acres over the' irea sown last fall, and on which the ecord crop of 684,990,000 bushels of vinter wheat was harvested this year. The condition of wheat on Dcccm>cr 1 was 88.8 per cent of a normal, 1 ilmost 10 per cent lower than it was L-.st year at this time, and 2 per cer.t >elow the ten-year average on Dec 1. South Carolina's acreage was increased 200 per cent compared with 1 he 1913 planting, Alabama 185 per . ent, Mississippi 125 per cent, Georgia 118 per cent, Virginia 60 per cent, Ar- * cansas 44 per cent., Tennessee, Texas, : ind Oklahoma 20 per cent. In the great wheat growing States , he increases in acreage range from 5 ;o 15 per cent, except in the best win- 1 er wheat State, Kansas, where a 2 1 )er cent decrease in acreage is shown.
