In any sheep enterprise provi sion must be made for the guarding or fcnclng ln of the flock, for not only are the anlmnls prone to stray from home pastures, but they are favorite prey for dogs, which annunlly Inflict great losses on the Industry. Winter care must be provided for, and feed and sheltered quarters must be available In cold weather. Persons who desire to raise sheep are advised to enter the Industry with a view of staying for several years at least The useful life of a sheep Is about six years.

OLSHEYIK SYSTEM RULESJN BERLIN Soldiers' and Workmen's Coun cil and Government Agree -on Method of Control.- Copenhagen. An agreement has been reached between the German aoldlers' and workmen' council and the government it is officially an nounced in Berlin. The agreement provides: ; First All political power is to be j in the hands of the German Socialist republic and the soldiers' and work men's council. ' Second Their aim is to defend and develop what has been accomplished by the revolution and to suppress all county revolutionary activity. Third Pending the election of rep resentatives of the soldiers' and work men's councils to an executive council of the German republic, the executive council in Berlin is to exercise Its functions. ' . . Fourth The appointment and dis missal of all members of the various legislative bodies of the republic and, until the final constitution is estab lished, of Prussia, are to be made by the central executive council which also has th right of control. Fifth Before the cabinet appoints assistant ministers, the executive council must be consulted. Sixth A convention of deputies from the soldiers' and workmen's councils is to be summoned as soon as possible. It is admitted that the German councils have not yet developed the' extravagances which led to the disin tegration and anarchy In Russia, the councils not being dominated by the Bolshevik element The agreement between the soldiers' and workmen's council and the gov ernment la regarded as a devel opment of, the greatest Importance and as tantamount to the overthrow of the Ebert Haase combination and the adoption at least theoretically of the existing Russian system. The fe3erar government" and the state authorities aim at the ultimate eradication of hog cholera. At present the object la to bring It under strict control so as to reduce losses to the minimum. Prevention, however, Is bet ter, than cure. Methods for prevention as well as cure may be found In "Hog Cholera: Prevention and Treatment" (Farmers' Bulletin 834). Losses from tuberculosis may be serious also, and in order to be fore warned and forearmed, "Tuberculosis of Hogs" (Farmers' Bulletin 781) should be studied. There are two distinct types of swine, the lard and the bacon types. Prlnevllle, Ore., Box 192 6tSp FOR SALE Standard bred home, yarn old, wt. 1125. Will make i good aaddle horse. Inquire of Al.

The value of salt for sheep Is not as fully realized as It should be, and the particulars of an experiment con ducted In France some years ago pro vides Interesting information: Three lots of sheep were fed on hay, straw, 'potatoes and beans for 134 days. One lot had no salt ; one lot one-half ounce each day, and the other lot three-fourths ou'hce each daily. Those that had one-half ounce gained 4 pounds more than those that had no salt and lhi pounds more than those that had three-fourths ounce. The sheep that bad salt cut 1 pounds more wool, and a better fleece than those that had no salt and showed much better results In both quality and texture In the wool. MULE AND HORSE SHORTAGE War Demand and Few Number of Animala Bred Are Bound to Bring 1 About Higher Prices. (Clenwon College Bulletin.) , , More than a million horses and mules of the United States have been used for military purposes in connec tion with the European war during the the last 18 months that Is about one horse to every 20 in the country. For some time before the European war prices had sagged until breeders had barely more than 50 per cent of their mares mated. The war demand, and the few number of animals bred are bound to bring about high prices for horses and mules, not only during the : war but for several years after. There are probably 20,000 mares on South Carolina farms, and only 2,000 to 8,0(10 of these are regularly produc ing foals. At least 12,000 of these mares should be regularly foaling.' To forestall the shortage and high prices as much as possible, the logical thing to do is to put every mare to Big and Strong-Boned. raising colts. The average farmer is not advised to replace all of his work mules with horses, but a sufficient number should be kept to raise animals to replace worn-out work stock. Above all, breed to big strong-boned Jacks and registered draft stallions of pure breeding, sound and of acceptable weight FARROWING HOUSE FOR SOWS Building Usually Preferred Is On With Pens on Each Side and Alley In Middle.

SANITARY HOUSES FOR HOGS Animala Will Respond Very Quickly ta Clean Surroundings Crevices Harbor Vermin. (By K. J. T. EKBLAW, University o Illinois.) Though the character usually as crlbed to swine Is one which gives Ht tie or no consideration to cleanliness still the pig is an animal which will respond very quickly, indeed, to cleeaa surroundings. The building shoI be so built that Its construction wilt permit of cleaning and thorough dis infecting. This means" smooth wall and floors, for if crevices exist thejj are only harbors for dirt and vermlai On account of the anatomical co structlon of tfie pig, his breathing, eat ing and drinking is done close to th ground, and close to a thousand sources of infection. This makes it ail the more necessary that his living; quarters be cleaned as often and as thoroughly as possible. , , . i. : -' A 2 CHAOTIC CONDITIONS PREVAIL IN GERMANY London.
