'Small flocks of sheep ma? be kept on most farms with much benefit to the land and profit to the owner," says Dr. C. J. Marshall, State Veterinarian ot the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. Discussing sheep raising Dr. Marshall says: "The majority of farmers have a strong personal liking for sheep and would derive pleasure as well as profit from their flocks if it were not for the discouraging losses which are frequent occur rence. These losses are due principally to stray dogs and parasitic diseases. The dog question is largely in the hands of the farmers themselves; if they insist upon the rigid en forcement of the present dog laws the problem will be solved. "The parasitic diseases are due to infection of luDg worms, stomach worms, and a particular form of intestinal parasite which causes "nopular" disease. The parasites are propogated on wet lands and will be carried irom season to season if sheep are pastured continuously on such fields during a succession of years. To obtain best results with sheep they should be pas tured on dry uplands avoiding !ow marshy places, and not pastured on the same fields during two successive years Our hill land should furnish ideal conditions for sheen provided it is not over stocked and the range of the herds changed each season. Sheep are valuable as gleaners after a crop has beeu taken off and to clean up fence rows and underbrush, in this way they obtain a part of their living from materials which otherwise would be wasted. "It is not practical for our eastern farmers to compete with western rangers in extensive sheep raising; but conditions have recently changed so that small Hocus can be made quite profitable. The price of wood has greatly advanced and there is such an urgent demand that eastern farmers are contracting for the sale of wool before the sheep grow it. There is an in teresting demand and always a good market for lamb and prime mutton, 'lhe conditions are much more favorable to the east ra farmer with a small flock to produce a more finished product than can be done on the western ranges.

Washington, June 20. -High- Way construction and mainten ance during the war should be "directed only to. those roads which are of prime importance for economic and military pur poses," the national council of defense declared yesterday in transmitting to state counsils of defense a letter from Secretary Houston. Federal agencies controlling materials for road building will be governed by this policy, and the national council asked that state highway departments be in duced to co-operate. Use wherever possible of local road building material is urged, to save trail transportaion and avoidance of bond issues in ex treme cases, is asked in order that such financing will not con flict with war loans. "As far as possible, important highways already constructed should be maintained. "the coun cil declared, "and those should be constructed which are of vital importance because of their bear ing on the war. These may be summarized as follows: "Those which are utilized or will be utilized by the military establishment " Those which carry consider able volume of materials and supplies essential to war industries. Those which have a bearing upon the production and distribu tion of food supplies, connecting population and shipping centers with surrounding agricultural areas." Hints For Wives. Perchance you think that your husband's disposition is much changed; that he is no longer the sweet-tempered ardent lover he used to be. This may be a mistake. Consider his Htruggle with the world, his everlasting race with busy com petition of trade. What is it that makes him so eager in the tur suit of gain, so energetic by the day, so sleepless by night, but his love of home, wife acd child red, and a dread that th ir res pectability, according to the light in which be has conveyed it, may be encroached upon by the strife of existence. This is ine tru? secret of that silent care which preys upon the hearts of many men; and true it is, that when love is least apparent, it is nevertheless the active principle which doimates the heart, though fears and disappointments make up a cloud which obscures the warmer element. As above the clouds there is a glorious sun shine while below are showers and gloom, so with the conduct of man behind the gloom of anxi ety there is a bright fountain of high and noble feeling Think ing of this in those moments when clouds seem to Jowe.' upon your domestic peace and by temp ering your conduct accordingly, the gloom will soon pass away and warmth and brightness take its place. Strange Fatality. Last Friday evening aweek, Mrs. Cleveland Price aged 24 years, was busy at her home at Imlertown, Bedford County do ing some ironing for the children.
