SHEEP RAISER ! GIVES POINTS ON PRACTICES L Tom Haltzell Tells of Experiences In Many Years Os Sheep Raising ‘‘lf it ever came to a poiut where I would have to choose between taking 'care of sheep or eutiug, 1 would take care of the sheep," said Tom Haltzell today looking back over 44 profitable years in the thoroughbred sheep business. Mr. Haltzell still owns a large flock of purebred Shropshire sheep on his farm managed by Iris son John Haltzell, 5% miles southwest of Decatur. "The most important part in the maintaining of high class flocks is the purchasing of good sires,'* he sakl. Mr. Haltzell believes that no money is lost which is invested in good sires. He lias on many occasion purchased imported sires. In 1911 he made a trip with Dave Gerber to Scotland where he purchased and brought hack 130 head of registered Shropshire sheep. Fred lleppert sold $1,700 worth of these sheep in Indianapolis in one hour. He sold $1,300 worth more at Louisville in the same length of time. Mr. Haltzell sold $1,200 worth of the sheep at the Chicago fat stock show the same year in addition to a number of minor sales. Mr. Haltzell has specialized all bis life in sheep for the breeders market and has sold only his culls for meat. For many years he was one of the most prominent Shropshire showmen in the country and "made” all the big shows in Chicaijgo, Indianapolis. Springfield. LouisIville and other large centers in | the country. When asked how many | prizes he had won he said, “ I | don't know but we have won our I share." | Sheep bred and raised by Mr. || Haltzell have been sold to other | sheepmen who have won a largei II number of prizes. In fact Mr. Balt- ! zell formerly made a good profit hy selling his stock to exhibitors before they were entered in the major shows to keep them out of the show rings. When asked whether there is still money in raising sheep that there was a number of years ago, Mr. Haltzell said. “no. Hut there is still a profit. 1 have seen times when lambs sold for one dollar a piece. A few months later they sold for $4.50 each. 1 believe any breeder can by hard work make a docent profit from sheep today.' The ewe# will soon begin to lamb. Mr. Haltzell said that he thought the most important thing to do with them now is to give the ewes clover hay, bran and a little milk to insure plenty of milk for the lambs. The lambs should be fed oil meal. oats, a little corn, bran, good alfalfa hay and good clover in ad dition to pasturage. The important thing to do with the lambs is to keep on them their original fat. The young lambs should be fed middlings in a trough and a little oats. The sheep should he sheared and dipped soon in order that they will make a gqod appearance in the (all. '*! only believe in feeding the, sheep,” be said when discussing necessity of dipping flocks. “Dipping kills the ticks,’’ he continued. A few pointers on preparing the sheep fur shows in the fall were also given by Md- Boitzell. “It is necessary to get in your mind what a good sheep looks like, he said. "It is then a matter of practice to shear and trim the wool in a manner which will appeal to the judges and buying public.

Second In Series Os Articles For Daily Democrat By D. D. Mazelin

(Editor’s note; —This is the second of a series of articles on the care of orchards being written by D. D. Mazelin.) "An apple tree as well as pear, peach, plum and cherry trees must necessarily be protected against the ravages us certain insects which prey upon them and often do untold damage before the grower Is aware of their presence. Atpong the most important of these are the scale insects of which there are many species. Os these the three most commonly are the San Jose Maie. Scurfy Scale and Oystershell Seale. “The San Jose Scale is the most destructive of the three due to its rapidity of reproduction. It has been estimated that from the progeny of a single overwintering female there may result over one and one-half billion females in a single season. From this the grower will appreciate how readily thi.s insect can relates! and destroy an orchard. “Fortunately, methods have been developed in recent years by which these insects can be kept under

shearing." Discussing wool, Mr. JialUell said, “wool should be sold immediately after it is sheared if the price is light because the wool loses weight in storage. However if the price is low, wool can be kept uucoeaufuly if it its placed in a place where it is dry and no air can strike and dry up the moisture. Only a little weight will he lost by thi-i typo of storage. On two occasions 1 have ke.pt wool for three] years rather than practically give it away." Mr. Ilultzell concluded hy stressling the point of the necessity of good breeding in sheep as well as other farm live stock. “It costs only a little more to purchase and care for good stock than it does for pom. The returns are many times more, in addition to the satisfaction," he stated. Local Woman Makes Handbag From Twine A clever hand hag has been made hy Miss Helen Sliroll of this city from ordinary binder twine. The total cost of the materials, with the exception of the button which cost five cents, is 15 cents. A board 11* by !) inches was prepared with nails driven along the edges. The twine running up aud' duwu Is fastened to the nails. The twine running vertically is woven in the fashion of the old fashioned

- control and in many cases can he ■ eradicated. One pf the most effeci tive controls that has been found is by spraying the trees in the ear- , ly spring, before they start growth, t with a solution es miscible oil ust ed at approximately 3 per cent j strength. That would be 1)4 gait-: i ous of oil to 50 gallons of water. - Miscible oil mixes very readily ■ with any.kind o water and makes j > a solution that is pleasant to use. : - It will not injure Lands or face. We > find that Scurfy and Oystershell i Scales are harder to kill than San -iJose but by using the oil at sri5 r i or 6?i strength they also are very t effectively controlled hy spraying, s “Next week we shall tell you j i something about orchard sanifu- - tiou in connection with satisfactory control of scale insects and ■ that universal enemy Dumber one i THE APPLE WORM..

hand looms. The completed strip of woven twine is bent nearly double, leav-j ing a flap of several inches. The 1 sides are sewed together with bind-, er twine. When completed, the bag; is the shape of a large envelope. A small piece of braided twine is sewn at the edge of the flap and 1 fastens to the button ou the bag j itself. o H. I*.

: URGES CARE OF LAWNS AT ONCE J. M. (.askil! Urges Properly Owners To Care At Onee For Lawns "Lawns should be taken cave of Immediately,’’ •). M, Caskfll. Decatur landscaper stated today. Lawns which do not need to he reseeded should he rolled in the next few weeks. The alternate freezing and thawing this winter has honey com bed the surface and forced the roots above the surface. "It is also time to resow the lawns." he continued. "A mixture of seed is generally better than one type. One of the most popular mixtures now is timothy, Vaughn and blue grabs. The grass seed should be sown before the lawn Is rolled. “It is also well to fertilize the lawns. Bone meal and ground peat are good for lawns. "Grape vines should be cleaned out and trimmed now. The dead and supertluous parts of the vines should be cut away to give the good part of the vines more strength. “Decorative and ornamental hushes should also he trimmed and pruned now. It is also time to rej set the hushes. Setting out hushes I at this time of year will give the young roots an opportunity to grow before the dry weather begins, ’ he declared. "Mr. Gaskill warned against trimming of maple trees now. "The sap is beginning to flow and any i cut now on the iimbs will be in- | furious as the trees wiii bleed profusely. It would be best to wait un- | til at least October before begin- | tiing any trimming of these trees." he concluded. WaUTO gam LOANS Cash on your eau- within two hoar* of when you «u.*ly.
