II Is hardly possible for any one to have q
rood flock OF sheep unless he is constantly
irving 10 make Il better A flock Of any
breed II neglected will dcteriorate, and any
breed may be improved by care My object
now is not to inquire what breed il best, but
what steps every farmer should take who
wishes 10 improve his flock Every year the
best lambs should Ike saved, and the poorest
sheep sifted out This process of selection
Is natures order Of development from the
lowest forms of life in each species up to the
highest. The higher types are preserved
and the poorer discarded. Every flock-mas-
ter should know the age Of each of his flock
and its size how many pounds and ounces
of wool 1t has shearcd each year the length
and quality Of the wool; whether the fleece
covers the whole body Of the sheep whether
it Is inclined TO shed its wool, and its general
health and constitution. lie should know
how many lambs each eve has raised, and
just what sheep in the flock il is the mother
Of 80 rs to be able to Judge Of its breeding
qualities. He should also know its milking
and nursing qualities. But how is this
done? by very simple process which
take mainly from Randall's Practical Shep-
herd. Each sheep must he numbered; then
| take blank book and rule each page into
| columns and head them as follows, viz &:
number. age, weight Of fleece, numbers on
her lambs, numbers on sire, on dam, size,
form, quality ofwool, length of staple, thick
ness Of fleece, yolkiness, covering Of belly,
covering of head, wrinklcncss, constitution,
remarks. BY leaving five or more columns
for weight Of fleece" and as many more
for" numbers on her lambs, the register may
| be made TO last as many years. In this way
the flock master will have complete history
of every sheep in his flock, His register
will inform him accurately what sheep to
take out each year.
The best mark for sheep vet invented
Dana's Sheep label It is flat, elongated
iron ring plated with tin and inserted in the
Sleeps car. On one side of the ring is the
owners name and on the other the number
Of the sheep They will last many years
perhaps q life-time, and different neighbors
by having the rings inserted in different
ways, can tell each others sheep at dis.
tancc. These labels cost $22j hundred
What farmer is there that does not care
enough about his sheep to pay 81 cents each
to have them marked and numbered? and
who does not care enough about the i'm
provement of his flock to keep an account
OF the profit of each shcep?-Somud johnson.

A Colony in western missouri.

Perhaps there is no portion of the re-
cent Slave States that presents More at
traction for Northern enterprise, capital
and energy, than Missouri. In climate.
soil, minerals, water power, and other
natural resources she is second to none.
and in some of these respects she has no
equal. In view of such facts it is not re-
markable that attention is being drawn to
that State. Several colonies are under
stood already to have been established
there, while others are organizing. Among
the latter is one nnder the supervision Of
Rev. Seth G. Clark, late Chaplain of the
10th Ohio Cavalry, and we'll known in
Northern Ohio as an earnest and devoted
minister. His many acquaintances need
not be told Of his peculiar fitness for such
an enterprise, and with the aid he already
has secured, there can be no question as to
success. We learn that a location has
been found in western Missouri, which
possesses very superior advantages as to
soil, water, timber, climate, etc. and which
may be had at low rates.
All persons who wish to unite in such
an enterprise, or to make inquiries respect
ing it, can address Mr.. Clark at Milan,
