Sheep to Clean Land

Many think the only advan-
sheep are in their wool
producing properties, forget
ting that they multiply with
great rapidity, doubling the
flock annually, and, in this eli
mate, taking care mainly of
themselves, if good winter pas
turagc and proper shelter are
afforded.
There is, however, another
use for sheep, which We have
found by experience to be Of
great advantage in good farm
ing. They are the best weed
and thistle exterminators "a far
mer can have. They keep the
pasturage free from these pests
Of the farm.
We recollect of hearing,
twenty years ago or more, that
the late Richard Gentry, of Pet
It's county, Mo-, had a farm Of
1000 acres, and that not a weed
Icould be seen upon it. We did
not put much faith in the report,
and determined to visit the
farm to see whether the report
was true. We did visit the
farm, and such q model of neat
ness and cleanliness in farming
we never saw before. But il
was not long before we discov-
cred 10 what it was attribute
bic. Mr.. Gentry kept several
thousand merino sheep. These
he transferred from field t.
field, as he saw proper, and
they nibbled down the weeds
and kept the pastures free of
them. He told us that a dozer
men, constantly engaged, could
not keep the weeds under sub
lection like this flock Of sheep
But, i'll clearing land, sheer
are still more valuable. They
will keep down the sprouts anC
shrubs much better than mel
can do with the best TOOLS
They give them no rest. A:
soon as a new bud or leaf shows
itself, it is nipped off. Hazel
sassafras, bumach-evcrythins
is compelled to surrender. They
give them no chance for life
no quarter. Every time they
make an effort Cor new life, they
are remorsclessly cut down.
If farmers want to clear land
or frccit from weeds and sprouts
and foul growth, sheep are thcil
best aids. Farmers can wei
afford TO keep sheep free of
charge the year round, for tht
work they perform for them
If farmers are not able to buy
sheep, it will be money in thei,
pockets to keep their neigh.
bors' sheep without Charge
They never can have neat farms
without them. The reason
they are not kept by every
farmer is, that dogs are so DIES.
tructive to them. They fur.
nish the best animal food. A
family can eat a sheep without
letting the meat spoil. More
mutton and less fat bacon woulC
be better for farmers.
But farmers can keep sheep
even with dogs around them, if
they will take some precaution.
airy measures. If a number of
large bells are put upon sheep
the noise produced when dogs
are in sight, will drive them a.
way. They want to do the de-
Istruction so no one will know
it. If sheep are kept with cat
tie, and dogs pursue them, in
stinct teaches them to run to
the cattle for protection; and,
if the dogs still pursue, the cat
tie will fight off the dogs. This
we have seen done. But, to
make the keeping of sheep
doubly sure, yard near the
house or stable, with a high
fence to enclose the sheep at
night, is what is needed. The
sheep will soon get accustomed
to coming to their sleeping
quarters, and it will not make
much labor to securely inclose
them every night Coleman S

LIBERTY BELL.

This famous old relic hangs suspend
ed from its massive beams of wood, in
the vestibule of the sold State house, 4"
near the entrance of Independence Hall.
The bell wss originally cast in Eng
land, in 1751, at cost of f100 was or
dered to be of 1000 pounds weight, and
to contain the following inscription
"By. order of the Assembly of the
Province of Pennsylvania, for the State
house in the city of Philadelphia, 1852. "
Also: Proclaim liberty throughout all
the land, and unto all the inhabitants
thereof"
Before the bell was properly hung, it
was cracked by stroke of the hammer
to try the sound, and was recast in this
country, the workmen being compelled
to remix the metal, as the original mix
ture was found to be too brittle. 1t was
finished and hung in June, 1853. In
1777, at the time the American forces
were compelled to evacuate Philadel-
phia, this bell, together with Christ
church chimes, was removed to Allen
town, to prevent their being melted into
cannon by the English; at the close OF
the war it was returned to Philadelphia
and continued in constant use until 1928,
when it was replaced by the present bell.

THE JAPANESE BUILDING.

The Japanese building on the Centen-
NAL grounds is remarkable for its beauty
and elegance of finish. 1t is regarded
as the finest piece of carpenter work
ever seen in this country. The wood of
which it is built is most beautifully
grained, and as smooth as satin. Every
portion of the building is most carefully
fitted together, and the carving is truly
wonderful. Some persons were inclined
to ridicule the leisurely manner in which
the Japanese workmen labored, but they
find if the work was done slowly, it was
done remarkably well.
The shingles covering the walls are
scored by saw marks running across one
another, so as to enable the paper 10
hold fast. Then a covering of coarse
paper is pasted to the boards, another
covering of fine paper is added, and then
the first coating of plaster is applied.
This plaster is white and smooth, having
the appearance of stucco or plaster OF
paris, and contains q liberal admixture
of wheat straw cut in pieces of about an
inch and half in length. The second
coat of plaster, which is applied after
the first one is quite dry, is of similar
appearance, and presents, when finished,
| very smooth surface. The roof is COW
