HE remarkable success recently achieved by Mr. Y, CL Mansfield of Endlcott, Washington, In fattening several hundred head of sheep on the Australian has created an interest In this once despised weed, which is rapidly spreading throughout the northwest states. One result of Mr. Mansfields experiment is that other farmers on whose acres the weed v come to look upon what was forhave grows merly considered absolutely worthless land as a real bonanza, and they are now preparing to turn their attention from the raising of hogs and wheat to sheep, with the assurance that, under ordinary conditions, they can hardly fall short of Mr. Mansfield's success. They see opened before them what Is practically a' virgin field of sheep raising, offering wonderful possibilities. As soon ns the value of the salt bush as a forage crop become generally known It undoubtedly will he cultivated In other sections of the West As a matter of fact. It Is now found along all the highways from Arizona to Washington, but very few people know its true name and fewer know that It is a valuable plant. In eastern Oregon it Is generally known as the Pendleton flood weed, and has been looked tipbn as such a pest that there Is miutt in the Jdaie against allowing R logo to seed. According to Sir. Mansfield, however, It Is really of more value to eastern Oregon than the plant, for not only la It a far better feed for sheep, but It will grow on the most arid land, and practically requires no attention after onCe getting a stand, ns It grows In hard, firm soil betland. ter than on loose, Mr. Mansfields experience, as related by him to the writer, who whs fortunate to vWt the farm at a time when a thousand head of sheep had just been turned into a new pasture of the saltbush, when the accompanying photographs were taken, reads almost like a fairy story. 'For several 5 ears "Mr, Mansfield farmed 8,000 acres of land, all of which was wheat land with the exception of 150 acres, which were alfalfa land. Finally the land became so foul with Russian thistles and Tim Hill mustard, that this, together with the high cost of labor and the low price of wheat, made It impossible for salt-bus- h v 4 .'V w x v m ;Y - .

In It we have reference to the custom of blowing a horn at the village gates to notify the shepherds on the plains that the grazing season was over. These rural villages In which the peasants congregated from the surrounding plain appeared to have been so arranged that the- - village buglers were able to make the shepherds and farmers hear the sound of the horn in every part of Babylonia. The rural life o: ancient tlmes In this historle land has here a visual commentary," Doctor Langdon adds, and w e see how the peasants lived together In villages, having village commons for their flocks and a municipal marsh to furnish a most accessary article of domestic life, the cane reed.

Women are slower, hut more care-fu-t, said an official of the Mechanics and Petals bank, so, althougli twice" as mahy women as men are needed to do the same amount of work, the bank loses no money on extra salaries, icer because the women save hundreds of dollars which had to he paid to the clearing house for the men's mistakes.
