The state of Illinois, according to the census of 1910, has 251,872 farms; 26,262 or 10.4 per cent, of these farms reported sheep. During the past dec­ ade there was an increase of 840 in the number of farmB keeping sheep, and there was an increase of 32,265 In the number of sheep. These figures are sufficient to indicate that the in­ dustry held its own during the past decade. The average size of farms in Illinois is 129.1 acres, and the average number of ewes (mind you, I say ewes) on farms reporting sheep is 22.4. Prom these figures it would seeoq that flocks are maintained principally to keep down weed growth and to uti­ lise what cannot profitably be con­ sumed by other live stock; that they are kept as a side issue and not as a main feature of the farm operations and that we have no definite measure as to the extent to which they figure In farm economy. Illinois has never been thickly pop­ ulated with sheep. Her greatest num­ ber was reported in the census of 1870. These were the days of cheap lands and many larger flocks than we have at present. The method of hand­ ling was more like a system of hend- lng, and when the range lands of Tex­ as and the far west opened up the large flocks rapidly disappeared from our state. AI1 that was left was the little flock here and there. Communi­ ties where sheep were maintained on most of the ^farms were very scaroe and therefore we really have done lit­ tle to test the adaptability of Illinois for sheep. But there are Indications of adapt­ ability of which we may be reason­ ably sure and we have them in south- | ern Illinois. For such a long time ; that I cannot tell when the first time i was, it has been ssid that rolling, hilly ! land is best adapted to sheep. All of ' you have listened to sheep talk and have heard how they. love the hills | where the footing is dry and the | breeses cool and pleasant. In that j part of the state lying south of the ; northern boundaries of Clark, Cum- : berland, Shelby and Bond counties there are approximately 14,387 square miles, of which 4,025 square miles are hilly, and 1,213 square miles undulat- ; lng timber. Together these areas | amount to 35.3 per cent of the whole. | 'fhe 14,387 square miles mentioned do not include the river counties, such as Madison, St. Clair, Monroe and Randolph, which belong in a group estimated to have 48.08 per cent, hilly and 14.6 per cent, undulating timber land. In all this territory there is land, designated as unimproved in the census reports. In some counties this amounts to S5 per cent of the total farm area and In a very few cases less TWO COURSES IN SANITARY DAIRYING Write for oertlflcMee for stripplnff Ian, prtoea, full fntor-mutton, "etc. Tluick, suro money.

In March, 1911, a new division of the dairy department was created at the University of Illinois under the title of "Municipal and Sanitary Dairy­ ing." The object in undertaking this new line of work was not only to ed­ ucate agricultural students In the best methods of producing and handling milk, but also what Is Just as impor­ tant, threugh co-operation with dairy­ men and through making known to the public the actual racts regarding their milk supply, and through gen­ eral propaganda to make an effort to better sanitary conditions In dairying throughout the state. In addition to this it has been planned to conduct original investigations in dairy bac­ teriology in order to gain new Infor­ mation in this branch of sanitary sci­ ence. * Two courses of nine weeks each are given by this division of the dairy de­ partment. one In city milk supply, commencing the first half of the sec­ ond semester, and a course following this in the second half of the semes­ ter In dairy bacteriology. In the city milk supply conrse the student is giv­ en Instruction in the proper handling and care of milk from the time It is produced until it reaches the consum­ er. Not only are all mechanical de­ tails gone into thoroughly, such as the best kinds of apparatus to use for various purposes, but the student also is instructed in the best way of con­ ducting a dairy from a business standpoint, and special emphasis is laid on the neoesalty of. and the -best | Obesity. Obesity Is nearly always the body's vote of censure for eating too much food, or taking too little exercise, and it is only necessary properly to bal- anoe the income and expenditure in order to keep a well-nourished body. It is important to note that it is usual­ ly .around those muscles which are | rarely exercised in any adequate man- i ner that fat accumulates, e. g., the ab­ dominal muscles.--Alexander Brjrce, i "life and Health." than 10 per oent Here. then, is an expansive area- particularly adapted to sheep. It is so well adapted be­ cause sheep love the bills and the on- dulating timber land, and surely noth­ ing is more suitable for gathering some returns from the unimproved lands than the class of animals we are discussing. It is well to remember that I have not said all the land of southern Illi­ nois is hilly, undulating timber, and unimproved. Be that far from us. On the level lands crops are grown which are suitable for feeding and mr 'stain­ ing sheep. Corn, wheat, red top and timothy may each occupy a useful place in feeding the flock, and no an­ imal relishes more and thrive* better than the sheep on cowpea aftfl soy bean forage or hay. Since these plants mean mfich to you in the upholding of your soil, this latter statement should be significant. The proper use of the feeds at hand will dispel any notion that southern Illinois caAnot produce the right kind of feed for suc­ cessful flock husbandry. You have thf land, you can grow the crops. If you produoe the product, have you a market? St. Louis is within easy reach; Chicago is not far away. The latter boasts that Its capacious maw will take In any meat-producing anl mal at some price*; the former lacks a fcreat deal of being an Indifferent market. It is true that the volume of sheep business at St. Louis is small compared with Chicago, but that does not work against prices paid, but often In their favor. For example, the pack­ ers conduct slaughtering there, and when the supply runs so low that they are considerably under their slaugh­ tering capacity they are obliged to bid up to encourage shipments. I cannot see anything but encour­ agement for the flock husbandry which considers the production of wool and lambs. We have attained proportions as consumers of mutton Study any of our large markets by ten year periods and you will note phenomenal growth in the receipts of Bheep and lambs. Take Chicago for example. Her receipts of sheep and lambs in 18T0 were 350,000; in 188<\ 336,000; In 1890. 2,180,000; In 19 H. 3,500,000; in 1910. 5,229,000. We aw consuming about 17,000,000 sheep anu lambs annually in this country, or % total weight of 630,000,000 pounds Approximately 80 ^per oent of these animals are lambs. The bulk of the mutton supply comes from the west at present, but this supply Is likely to be reduced because of the restric­ tion of the range. If tSe supply is kept up to the demand of consump­ tion, it will devolve on us to grow more sheep, and with production re­ duced in the west we shall be as­ sured of more remunerative prices for the good product. methods ef producing, clean, whole­ some milk. In dairy bacteriology, the student is Instructed how to take counts of bac teria In milk, how to detect the pres­ ence of pus and pus organisms In milk, l^ow thus to discover diseased animals In a herd. By demonstrations and actual labo­ ratory work those taking this course learn how to control the output of a dairy by bacteriological methods so that In actual practice they will be able to tell, for instance, at Just what step in the process the milk is being improperly handled. The student fur­ ther learns about the action of bac teria in milk, and how to isolate and identify species and bow to study the different effects on the milk of dif­ ferent kinds of bacteria, and the source from which they found their way into the milk. The course In city milk supply is of particular advantage from the busi­ ness standpoint to the young man who intends to run a dairy or a dis­ tributing station, while the course in dairy bacteriology teaches him the rea­ sons for the practice laid down in the first course and, moreover, is Invalu­ able in assisting him to conduct hta business in a proper manner both from an economical and from a sani­ tary standpoint The course in dairy bacteriology will, in addition, lit men either for positions in the laboratories of the big distributing stations in the larger cities, and for commercial lab oratories, or for teaching similar courses in the universities.

CREW REMAINS ON Y0ARD Fierce Flames Are Put Under Control After Fight by*. Men Lasting ^Several Hour*--Vessel Aim <? p •*- on the- Rocks. Ditch Plain Life Saving Station, La Lr-^Wirelese again came to the rescue of a ship in peril at sea, when the 30 passengers of the coast­ wise steamer Ontario, plying between Baltimore and Boston, were taken off the craft after a lire had broken out in the hoM. The ship ran aground off Montauk Point and the passengers taken to New London by the tug Tosco, sum­ moned by wireless. The crew, 41 men, stayed with the captain on the boat, »nd after a hard fight succeeded in ex­ tinguishing the blaze. The vessel is hard aground with a Ught sea running and only a little wind, and there is slight danger, ap­ parently, of her going to pieces. Life savers hovered near the vessel In their boats, ready to take off the crew, but Captain Bond, when the fire was under control, said there would be no need for their services. The fire broke out during the night and became so threatening that Cap­ tain Bond ordered the wireless opera­ tor to send S. O. S. distress signals. An hour later he turned back upon his course and drove the vessel full speed ahead for the reefs off Montauk Point. The wireless sputtered along the en- tire north Atlantic coast with news of the vessel's danger. Ten minutes la­ ter the men at this Btation saw the ship on the rocks, hurried off with a breeches buoy apparatus and later dragged their aurf boat on its truck three miles over the beach to the burning steamer. The life savers, reinforced by a crew from the Hether Plain station, two miles away, transferred the passen­ gers in small boats to a tug and stood off in readiness to take the crew ashore if need be. The passengers were transferred in the Ontario's life­ boats. The revenue cutters Mohawk and Seneca picked up the wireless call at Ne% York and the cutter Acushnet at Boston hurried to the scene. They were able to give little assistance* however. The Ontario is a vessel of 1,987 tons net. She is 290 fgat long, of steel, and was built in 190lTshe left Baltimore Saturday. OVER 100 SAVED IN SOUTH Flood Twenty Feet Deep Sweeps Away an Entire Arkansas Toton--Refu­ gees Lose Everything. Memphis, Tenn. -- The levee at Helena, Ark., breaking, shot a flood of water twenty feet deep Into the val­ ley town of Modoc, Ark., completely depopulating the town and washing out even the strongest houses in tlie valley. The great mass of water formed a lake, hemmed In on three sides by the hills and -fed from .the fouiHh by the river. The steamer Kate Adams was near Modoc when the levee broke and res­ cued those imperiled. A hundred or more panic-stricken negroes were ta­ ken from a government barge. Later motor launches rescued a number of farm hands from the roofs of cabins, from trees and peaks of knolls which were above the water. The refugees saved none of their be­ longings. Many of them were almost naked when they reached the river boats. The boat captains and more fortunate sufferers divided clothing witi§the needy.

WHY PEOPLE GO TO CANADA J Those who are wondering why thfe number of Americans going to Canada year by year increases In the rates that it does, would not be so surprised were they to accompany one of the numerous excursions that are being run under the auspices of the Govern­ ment from several of the states, and remain with the settler until he gets onto the free homesteads, which, as stated by 8peak«r Champ Clark, in the U. S. senate the other'day, comprises 160 acres of the most fertile soil and with remarkably easy settlement con­ ditions. Then watch 'the results, whether it be on this free homestead of 160 acres or on land which he may purchase at from $16. to $20. per acre, fully as good as the $100. and $150. per acre land of his native state, and which his means will not permit his purchasing. On the part of the mem­ bers of the U. a Senate and Congress there is nothing but praise for Canada. Canadian laws and Canadian lands al­ though the reasonable desire Is shown in their remarks, that they pass legis­ lation, (which is very praiseworthy) that will make the land laws of the United States much easier. It is the success of the American settler in Canada that attracts others, and when experiences such as the fol­ lowing are related to the friend "back home" is it any wonder that increased interest is aroused and a determina­ tion arrived -at, to participate in the new-found way up in Canada that means wealth and health and all thftt accompanies tt. William Johnston, who formerly lived at Alexandria, Minn., settled in the Alberg District near Battle River and in writing to one of the Canadian Government agents, located in the United States says: "We have had no failures of crops during our nine years in Canada. I threshed 1208 bushels of wheat and 1083 bushels of oats in 1911, off my 160 acres. This is a beautiful country. I keep six good work horses and milk seven cows, getting good piloes for butter and eggs. We get our coal for $2.00 per ton at the mine, about one mile from the farm. Am about one and a half miles from a fine school. As for the cold weather it is much milder here than in Minnesota, where I lived for 21 years. Our well Is 35 feet deep and we have fine wa- | ter. Wild land is selling for $18. | to $25. per acre. Improved farms are much higher. I am well satisfied with the country, and would not sell unless I got a big prioe, as we have all done well here." Good reasons to account for the number going to Canada. NO WONDER.
