only the most profitable for their wool,
but also for their lambs, that will be
dropped In their season. Give the sheep
exercise; oblige them to 90 short dis
stance for their food and drink. A sue
cessful sheep raiser must love his sheep
not only for the dollars and cents. but
must love to look at them, to see them
eat and drink, to really enjoy their caper-
ing; in fact, he must love their every
movement-love them in such way that
they will meet him with greeting, AID not
take to their heels and try to hide from his
sight; success, in great measure. lies
here. Be careful in shcaring; do not
leave any wool on and say You have made
1t up by taking off an equal amount OF
hide, for this is not only an injury to the
sheep. but no wool will ever grow from
these Scared places. High pasturage is
necessary; low meadow land is not adapt
ed to sheep pasturage. Feed for sheep
should be cut just before or at the time Of
blossoning; should be ted neat and clean,
as sheep are naturally clean. and will
trample under loot unless they have clean
food IN clean places. 10 not oblige them
to wade through mud and water, for al'

mud.
The influence Of Growing Plants
Upon Health.
While there may be grave objectioog %

lng-room, it is certain that few plants.
even a single ivy, may exert beneficial
influence upon the health of every indi-
vidusl whose time is passed in the apart
ment. The condition OF plants may be
safely used a. attest Of the healthfulness
OF q liying-room. II they grow and
flourish, the human plants that breathe
the same atmosphere will enjoy the same
condition of existence; If they withcr and
droop, there is sure evidence OF viola
ton OF sanitary laws In some form. Now
the prominent evils Of indoor life In mod
ern houses are the temperatures too high,
the mir Is too dry; there is an undue guam
tity OF carbonic acid, and IN rooms much
used It is almost impossible to remove the
dust that constantly accumulates and is
loaded with noxious influences. But in
order to make plants live and thrive, they
must have fresh, pure air. the atmosphere
must be pcrmestcd by sufficient degree
Of moisture. the leaves must be sufficient
" washed to remove tue dust, and the
carbonic acid, so injurious to the human
occupants Of the room, will be absorbed
by them ss necessary food. Above all,
they must have sunshine. aud the direct
rays of the sun are no more essential to
the development Of sosebuds, carnations
and violcts, than they arc 10 the healthy
tone Of the human organism. Those who
have successfully cultivated plants in sit
ting rooms, know the watchful care and
unweazying patience required to produce
this result and yet the whole process is
included In pure. moist dir, cleanliness
and sunshine. Human beings certainly
need as much care % plants, but we will
venture to say that in large proportion
Of modern dwclling-h0uses these plain
sanitary laws are almost entirely disre-
garded. The sunshine is carefully shut
out. and supply Of fresh air is carefully
excluded. II the careless people who
know SO little OF the laws Of their physi-
cal well-beiax, could b induced 70 culti.
