"NEW METOHDS" APPLIED. :
Tests Prove That Sheep Thrive Best
Under Roving Conditions. , -
Tho District Forester at Portland,!
Oregon, has just announced the re-:
suits of experiments made, during the !
past- season, in handling sneep undor
different conditions on the .National '
Forest range. ' j
It is stated that former experiments
indicated that it was a profitable pro
position to give careful attention to
the sheep on the range, and the aim
of the past season's experiments was
to confirm these indications. Several
bnnds of sheep were kept under ob
servation on different forests. Half
of them were handled under the "old
methods" and the other half under
thfc "new methods." In every in
stance there was a gain in favor of
the "new method," not only in tha
sheep themselves, but in the amount
of forage that was saved from de
struction. As the results were prac
tically the same in all cases, it will
be necessary to give the details of but
one experiment.
On the Santium National Forest,
two bunds of sheep were selected.
Band No. 1 consisted of 1196 ewes
and 1160 lambs. Band No. 2 consist
ed of 9!)6 ewes and 957 lambs. Range
conditions for both bands were iden
tical, but one band was handled un
der the "old method" and the other
under the "new method." In other
words, Band No. 1 was returned ,to
the same bed ground for several
nights in succession, and thus trailed
over the same range every day; while
Bund No.. 2 was bedded wherever
night overtook them, except in stormy
weather, and were 'loosely herded and
ullowed to graze quietly. Two hun
dred lambs in each band were weigh
ed when the sheep entered the range,
and again when they left. Those of
Band No. 2 showed an average gain
of faur and two-tenths pounds over
those of Band No. 1. At six cents per
pound, this means at least 25 cents
per head gain. On 1000 lambs this
would amount to $250. This sum is
certainly worth while to the stockman.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS WERE INVENTED TO SUPPLY
A NECESSITY. ALL OTHER METHODS OF CREAT
ING ARTIFICIAL light were unsatisfactory. Candles
wer dim and unreliable; gas, dirty and dangerous; ker'o
sent, dull, smoky, odorous and also dangerous to health
and property. When elctric lights were introduced there
was but one drawback. They cost considerably more than
other lights. .. This objection has been overcome and elec
tric lights are now the most economical as well as tfce
most satisfactory light.
