ADVICETHATMAESTHEFAMRSSWLE ol il (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) ‘There used to be a saying: 'nnry man to his trade.” The idea was that a man trained ang experienced in his chosen work vonld be apt to know more about it and do . it better than one pot so trained and ! experienced. A carpenter would be apt to do a carpenter’s job better than a coal miner; a paper-hanger his job better than a druggist; a farmer his better than a blacksmith. Alas! that time seems to be past, iteelf. He stocked it with severpii thousand acclimated sheep, put *hcm‘ in charge of an experienced ehevherd, | provided shelters for tmem from: storms, etc.;, in short, Gid evarriih man can do to start hie .industry” of! rlnt and keep it geing rignt. Later, he sold what were left 1ar‘ anything he couid get, paid off | many of his bills'as ike money wonlli cover, and began hunting for a job from somé other farmer. kadn reckoned ' accurately h o just ‘two things; to wit, name:y, that is. to say, the mondness of dogs for mutton ‘and the capacity: the wool and meat trusts to seques- trate all his possible pmfit.s to thedr own _treasuries. -~ Half ‘wild ‘Tongrel dogs worried and harried his sheep till they were scat- tered over seven townships; foxes caught and devoured his young lambs; the meat trust tearfully confided to him that it couldn’t possibly pay him for his mutton and lamb . but about one-sixth of the price itself sold that mutton and lamb for; and the wool trust, without any pretense at tears, At least, it is so far as we farmers are concerned. Almost anybody with e tongue in working condition or a stenographer and typewritert in his office, seems to feél himself clplbk of glv&ng us “points” about anything in our special line. The other day a publication. whose character and qualifications may be fairly deduced from its name, “The Implemeni and Tractor - Trade - Jour- nal” expatiated on the need of more wool. It specially noted -the alleged fact,—I don't know whether it is true or not,—that the wool from twenty sheep was required to make the clothing and other equipment for a singie soldier. Also that Australia, South America and South Africa had not increased their wool production. Also, that transportation from those countries was out of _the’ question, even if they had. Wherefore and accordingly ~we farmers of the U. S. had simply got to produce more wool. Q. E. I. Next, this organ of the implement and tractor makers went on to “rub it in” still further by telling us how easy and simple it was-to do just this thing. 1 quote: “Six farms out of every seven in the United States have no sheep. Sheep can be produced profitably on almost every farm.” “By proper management they can be produced on the average farm without entailing a2 reduction of other live’ stock, and without interfering with to pay the cost pf shearing, tieing and transportation and bade him take it or leave it as he pleased: the trust didn't -care. That, mind you, was in the times when good ewes sold freely in flocks for $3 or less per head; when wire fencing cost half what it ‘Qoes now, and when wages were less than half what they are ndw. I can easily remember the timé when three farmers out of four in this vicin- ity had flocks of from twenty to five hundred sheep, as a_matter of course. ‘But, as costs went up and returns dwindled, the flocks one by one dis- appeared" tiil today I know of not over six farmers in the whole township who have so muck as a single one. | .myself used to keep a.few sheep.

The speaker is 2 very rich and a very patriotic lady, and has been giving freely of her time and her wealth to help rehabili- tate the German-devastated ' deserts which once were fair farms in France rnd Belgium. She told the otheér iadies some of her experiences. The Belgians, she said, wanted rabbits as @0on as they went back on their farms, but 1 drew the line at pigs.” The\' simply had to have cows, though, “So we went up into \orm'\nu) to buy them and there I learned something surprising.

If you can it is your privilege to do s0. Not only your privilege, but your patriotic duty. For there's no doubt that wool is going to be daj ge‘aunl» scarco in the imiediate furare. 1 You can see your way merely to break even with them,—to get your money back, without any pay for your own labor and risk, .youw'll be serving your cunntry be trying them agail 1f you've got the spare capltai awflllablel and can afford to “blow in” a part of it, I'm not sure but youw'd be doing| quite as patriotically to spend on wool production as to buy L bonds with it.

At a meeting of the sophomors class the subject of raising the Sykes Me- morial Fund was taken up and dis- cussed. The junior and sophomore classes, which “are ths senior classes of the college, upon resignation from the college of the late Dr. Frederick Sykes, voted to establish 'a memorial to the first and beloved président. Ow- ing to the fact that English was taught at the college by Dr. Sykes, the classes voted to estzb‘&sh .wo prizes of twenty-five dollars'each, excellence in Shakespeare and in crea tive literature. - To maintain these prizes, which are awarded annually, & capital of $1200 must be raised, 3600 by each of the two classes. The junior. class, by a series of dances, has already-raised a consid- erable portion of the aliotted - sum. The: sophomore «ciass will raise the fund by an® Easter week campaign, conducted by members of the class. Each member is to be responsible for the solicitation of money from fifteen people for this fund. Contributions to the fund will be highly appreciated and. gratefully received by the officers of the class of 1920. Many Thrift. Stamps - Sold.

As the output of newly laid eges in- creases as it is obliged to do for the next few weeks, the price naturally eases off a little. The season for pre-4 serving eggs for home use will sdon be at hand. A year ago the manage- ment of the contest was besieged with inquiries for eggs to be preserved in | water glass for use when the price is high. Unfortunately the laying con- test could supply very few eggs for this purpose. -It-is, however, believ- ed, that those interested in thc. pres- ervation of esgs i nthis way can se- cure .a- suitable product by inquiring of their local farm bureau. Like ev- ery other project to he undertaken the matter of preservinz should be planned beforehand, and there is now ample ‘' time to do this as the price will probably be lowest in April and May and not only this, but these are the very best ezgs to preserve. If one waits ‘untfl too late in the summer, say June or July, the eggs do not keep so well, and another. thing, a rise in price is Hkely to set in about that time, The three best pens in each of the rrincipal varieties are as follows: Pen Barred Plymouth Rocks Weat ’]'om 3.
