A Few Sheep on the Farm.

The relative profit is much great
err from small flock than large
one. The grain farmer, no matter
how few his acres, can make more
money by keeping few sheep.
There is always room for them
somewhere, and they consume and
turn into money food that otherwise
would waste. But he must be care
full not to overstock. TO illustrate,
suppose the farmer cu!tivates only
eighty acres, raising grain chiefly
He keeps a few COWS and the neces-
sary teams. One-fifth Of his farm
is in pasture, one-fifth meadow; one
planted, one spring grain, and one
wheat. He thinks he has as much
stock as he can profitably keep, but
if he puts on one sheep to every five
acres, he will find their products
clear gain. In the spring, early,
they can run on the sod which is to
be planted, and one sheep to each
acre will not hurt the land, yet they
will live well. After that they can
go into the pasture, and will clean
after the cows to advantage. A run
on the stubble after harvest will not
be felt, where each sheep has two
acres, and in the fall there is plenty
Of feed. Through the winter they
can be kept we'll on what the other
stock would not consume, with the
addition ola little grain. Proba-
bly, the most profitable arc some of
the coarser woolled, mutton breeds.
Their lambs sell to the butchers for
high prices and when fat, the sheep
fetch as much as a yearling steer.
Sixteen mutton sheep, well managed,
would produce yearly income Of
800, where, if none were kept,
nothing would be realized.-Thc
greatest drawback is liability to
loss by dogs, and it is q disgrace
to any State to protect it's ours SO
we'll that they expel, to a certain ex-
tent, the only animal which can
cheaper the meat and clothing of
the people, american R"ral

Watering Sheep.

Many persons are under the i'm
preston that it is wholly or quite
unnecessary to water sheep more
than once a day in winter, and not
at all in summer, when on pasture.
There conld not be greater falla-
cy. 1t is true that sheep and also
horses will manage to live, and ev-
en- do tolerably we'll in dry pastures
in summer, by feeding exclusively
at night. But careful observation
will show that if allowed, water
will always be taken in small guam
titles, and usually at regular inter-
walls, and this with advantage to
themselves, and profit to their own
erS. There can be no more vicious
practice than that of watering but
once day, as many otherwise good
farmers do.
1t has been pretty we'll demon
strated that a large amount of water
taken at any one time is detrimental
to health, and especially to fatten-
ing animals, as producing an unnec-
essary amount of carbonic acid.
Besides in Winter, sheep as we'll as
other animals, when they are water
ed regularly, will take SO much that
it chills them; or, if very cold will
not drink at all. But if allowed
freedom to drink at will, they will
drink only just enough, and that at
| regular intervals. Therefore free
access to water, both Summer and
Winter, or watering regularly, not
less than twice day, ought to be
regarded as indispensable by every
flockmaster. If there is a shepherd
who is not aware of the difference
there will be in the condition of
sheep that have, and Of those that
have not, been thus watered during
a Winter, he has but to try it to be
convinced.

To KEEP ONIoNs.-Onions stand
more cold than is supposed, so says
writer in the New England Home
stead, who advises packing them in
tight barrels, dry, and filling the in
terstices with chaff. They may
then be kept in a barn, where they
will freeze quite hard without inju.
ry, providing the barrels are kept
closed tight and not opened till the
onions are again thawed. 1t is a
bad practice to keep them where
they will sprout and then decay
emitting a very disagreeable odor

Never pack while moist or soft.
This is one of the most fatal mis-
takes; and in picking be careful not
to tear the skin. All that have had
the skin broken should be thrown
aside for family use, or be sold to

reduce the price of the good ones.
The shrinkage on live poultry

stock than on that which is packed
for the reason that it takes less
room, and is more easily handled.
