LAND SknsEns. This term applies
to class Of men, farmers shall wo
say!-who want to set the increase Of
land without making any compcnsa
ton for its nee.
They may 5c found in almost every
section Of the country. If they crop
their land, the product j. all sold and
carried off the farm. Not the grain
simply which they raise, but the straw,
II the crop be barley, wheat, or oats,
and the stalks, if it be'corn. Only
cattle sufficient to meet tie necessities
of the family, are kept on the farm
These consist Of two or three half fed
cows, Us many lean pigs, q span or
two Of crow.bait horses: or, in their
stead, the frames Of one yoke or more
Of oxen. All the manure they make
would not be sufficient for sweet POI
Itatoe bed, or at most small garden.
With this management, the land
very soon fails to yield its increase Of
.rain, and then grass is tried. For .
year or two tolsrable crop i pro-
duced; tut this, too, il sold and car
ricd of the farm, and, as might be ex-
pccted, very soon the hay crop is too
Uncomfortable to meet the expenses Of
he farmers family; and grain grow
ling is once more tried, but with no
better success than formerly. Under
such management, 1t ms n. wonder that

Watering Sheep in Winter.

That sheep can do with less water
than any ether domestic animals is
well known. That they should DO
iorccd to do with less quantity than
!thcy desire, or compelled 10 do with
out any except what is accidentally
supplied by melting snow or rain, no
reasonable or merciiul man can be-
licve for one momeut. In some expc-
riments on South Down sheep at Roth
amstcad, we found that in the summer
months each sheep ate three pounds
Iof clover hay, and drank about six
pounds Of water daily. Thinking that
they drank more than was favorable
Tor the disposition Of fat, We confined
';hem to less quantity Of water for
one week. The result was that during
that time they ate less food and lost
weight. This result satisfied US that
sheep knew better than man, though
b. te scientific, how much water they
required.
But We need not quote experiments.
The common sense Of every man tells
him that sheep Is well as all other an
finals, should be abnndantly supplied
with good fresh water. Cows and
sheep, ii possible, should have FREQ
access to it at all times. For, unlike
the horse, they will not always drink
at stated times, however regularly OBJ
Ilserved. A well, pump and trcughs
would seem, therefore, to be necessary
'lappendages 70 every well-managel
barn yard or sheep-fold. Kind reader,
act on this matter, and your sheep and
COWS will bless you, ii not in words,
az least in wool, milk and profit.
