Well CVirwl (or FlockN of Sheep Will ItcuolK Pro- ertj" nml rocket I looks of Crook County Farmers Very Much Br A. 0. WALKER. (Written for The Bulletin.) A number of years experience nnd obserrntlon in this locality hnvo led mo to bollevo that raising hay tor market, dairying, hoc raining nnd beef growing nro not sufficient Indus, tries for tho irrigated section of Crook county. According to tho Investigations carried on by Professor Scuddor. ag ronomist at the Oregon Agricultural College, tho farmer who sells his hay gets for It about two thirds tho ac tual vnluo of the fertility elements that It contains. Tho hav oid'nnrlly brings In tho marketing ssrn about JS.00 par ton In the stack, while the nitrogen, phosphates and potash It contains at present market prices Is worth abo t $12.00. It Is thus seen that selling hy. from the standpoint of fertility. Is ruinous to the farm. In raising beef tho small 'armor is confronted with tho serious prob lem of summer rango. Dairying Is very confining and for this reason is not satisfactory to many. On tho alfalfa farm wo can grow hogs In abundance to from 100 to 125 pounds then tho matter of finishing up with expenslvo feed be gins nnd it Is disheartening to sco how the profits melt nwny. Experience, observation and study have led mo to bollevo that the mut ton Industry stands ready to fill a long felt need on the small farm in Crook county. A flock of sheep, when Judiciously managed, usually proves tho most profitable varloty of live-stock. For tho pound of gain In live weight, good sheep are the most eco nomic feeders that can be found among farm animals. When a breeding flock Is main tained tho nnnual yield of wool will pay the maintenance oxponses of the sheep, whlls tho Increased weight of the animal and the Increaso in the size of the flock may be reckoned as clear profit. Under proper caro a mature flock of ewes can readily be depended upon to Increase 100 per cent. While some lambs will be lost under the best of attention the twins and triplets that will come will fully mnko up for all losses. Tbls is counting on a single lambing nnd I am fully convinced that with our open winters a flock of ewes can, with proper feed and sheds, be lambol twice, a vear. In addition to sheep being great wage earners, they are valuable as weed destroyers and waste utilizers; they are also unrivaled In their abil ity to build up the productiveness of tho soil by their uniform distribution of their droppings which constitute the richest variety of manure. Farms Better Than Ilnnges. Growing sheep on tho farm has many advantages over the range flocks. The range flocks, because of the necessity of lambing out of doors. cannot with safety be lambed until In April wh'Io the farm flock under the sheds can he lambed In January or the first of February. Tbeso two or three additional months for growth prior to tho fall marketing can readily be seen to be a groat ad vantage. The range flocks wait until the close of the grazing reason to be shipped to market, which puts largo numbers of sheen on tho market at the same tlmo and of necessity affects the prices. Tho small owner who keeps his shcop on the farm can mar ket before the rush begins and at a price when buyers are on the market looking for his products, and willing to nay woil for them. In the matter of wool the farm raised flock will both in quality and nuantltr rank far above the range flock which leaves a trail of wool on tho brush from the time they loavn for the mountains in tho spring until they return In the fall. Number of Sheep on Farm. As to the number of sheep that may be kept on the farm I believe it conservative to say that an acre of alfalfa pasture will keep from ton to fifteen sheep during the growing season and after the last hay cron Is cut In the fall the meadows will fur nish on abundance of pasture until near the first of tho year. Tho question, as to the kind of sheep to raise, Is a very Important one. For the small farm, above all things the sheep kept should bo of one of the larger or mutton types, but the man engsgod In the business must select the breed that is popu lar In his locality and state. Under our western conditions tho Shrop shire breed leads In general popular ity. Males of this breed weigh around 225 pounds while- the ewes will range between 1G0 and 100 pounds. As regards mutton quail- tle. tho Shropshire Is said to rank well at the lead, while tho early ma turing qualities of the breed are un surpassed among the mutton breed ers. A flock of well-kept Shrops will average from 10 to 12 pounds of wool to the clip and their wool Is superior to that of many of the mut ton types. Pure bred rams are In great de mand here In the west and are be ing shipped In from other states, yet they could be raised right here with great success and the small farmers had Just os well as the eastern men be reaping somo of theso fancy prices. The western farmer would have the ....... ..... - Ilia .to fvalirtit I. Ill that Is added to the price of tho eastern SHEEP 1 M Ml alaaHBn4W 9NLV.H A. O. WAI.KKIt. grower. Our product would bo ac climated which would also bo great ly In Its fnvor. Plan Suggested. For tho farmer who Is laoxperlonc ed In sheep growing tho host plan perhaps would be to begin with n small flock of tho best grado owes ob tainable, and with n full blooded buck. Study tho Industry and grow with tho flock which If well handled will Increaso rapidly. Thon as ono acquires knowlodgo, oxperlenco nnd confidence In himself he can expand tho scope and quality of his business. Some have beon afraid of coyotes ravaging tho unherded flock. It has been my observation that ooyotes are afraid of woven wlro, and since fono- Ing my placo In this way I hnvo never seen n coyotes track in any or my Holds. Growing alfalfa Is dnngorous pas ture for cows, but I hnvo seen many Iambs on alfalfa pasture from tho time they could begin to nibble tho leaves until they wore matured nnu I have never known one to die from alfalfa bloat. When wo as farmors really got down to tho facts, figures nnd funda mentals ns to what a flock of sheep will do for our farms and our pocket books, I bellovo that we will almost unanimously favor those golden hoof od money makers. BIG SCOOP GIVEN EDITOR EARLY SHY MORNING Before Daylight Phono Mouuige Brine New of Great Importance From tho Brick Yard A Boy. It was about four o'clock Sunday morning. Tho telephone at tho Edi tor's houso rang, and thon rang again. Now, even editors don't usu ally get up qulto that early, and It took considerable ringing to rouse him.
