J. A. Moffitt at Powell Butte has'
a half dozen sheep. Nothing remark-!
able about that, but listen. He shear
ed them the other day and a two
year old weather sheared 16 pounds J
of wool that is well worth 25 cents a!
pound this year. It is quickly seen j
that this fleece is worth $4 this year, j
and by shipping it to the woolen mills'
direct it would probably bring hirn ;
$5 or more. Yes, but that is just '
one sheep you say. What did the ;
others shear, Jim? A January 1915 j
lamb sheared six pounds of wool of
an equal quality. Business of rapid ,
figuring again and you have $1.50
of wool taken from the lamb less than
a year old. !
Special care you say. Well hard-
ty that, just ran loose out on the
hills and in the fields and ate what ;
the other stock left. j
It is an illustration of the fact,
that a few sheep on any rr.nch in ;
the country wili well pay the owner. ;
An unprofitable horse that should be;
sent to Europe, will eat as much :
gra.-! as twenty-five head of sheep
and the duty that the sheep will pre-
form in keeping the weeds off the ;
summer fallow and out of the lanes
and fence corners is a valuable one.
Experience has proven that there is '
more money in a limited number of i
sheep than in horses or hogs, and the j
farmers of the country are rapidly j
coming to that conclusion.

Crook County spends many thous
ands of dollars annually on her roads
and the amount doubles repeatedly.
The investment is a good one and
the amount should and will continue
to grow.
A number of PrineviUe men have
in the pa-t made efforts to ai.-t the
traveling puMic by erecting signs
ah.r.g the roadways of ti:e county,
and it seems absurd that the people
insist in making the county roads ;
leading out of PrineviUe a dumping
ground for all the refuse and trash
that accumulates in the city. There
are laws governing this ahuao, and ,
the city has provided dumping
grounds for the u- of its inhabitants.
therefore it seems the citizens should ;
exercise sufficient pride to prevent it, ;
without the officials taking the mat- j
ter in hand.

Recorder Hyde sentenced a man
to 28i days in jail for carrying a pis
tol the other day, and confiscated
the gun at the same time. That is
justice of the right brand and a good
example for some of the higher
courts.
