paid, Of 90
which is more than twenty-five per cent. af-
ter interest on capital is paid, Now, sup
pose for a moment that you raise twenty-five
lambs, which is not an extravagant supposi-
ton, and that they are worth 81 per head,
and then see how you come out. Then re-
member that we may expect, ordinarily, fifty
cents for our wool, and add that item. Then
remember that the flock, instead Of impover.
ishing the soil, will actually enrich it, while
at the same time it is enriching you, and add
an item for that. Then remember the much
less amount of labor necessary to prosecute
sheep husbandry than most other branches,
and add that in also, and think most far
mers will decide with me that We had better
not be frightened till we are hurt more than
we are at present.
Please, Mr.. Editor, what do you think OF
the question: If have given bad advice,
or wrong impressions, do not lot them pass
without comment. As for me, am going
to "stick to it."

Sheep; What Shall We Do With Them.

ID. II. Thing Of Kennebec Co., Me-, writes
the following gritty and sensible letter to the
New England Farmer
The majority of the farmers in western
Keunebec keep from twenty-five to fifty or
more sheep. Wool has gone suddenly and
alarmingly down in prices, and we often
hear the above question. We propose to
answer in brief, as VIC understand the situa.
ton. To begin--times are hard aud we
must remember that all branches of labor
and business are prosecuted at q smaller
profit than formerly. Those who manufac-
ture the wool do not make, probably, 1.-THE
Of the profits that were realized when wool
was seventy five cents pound. So, too,
cattle, horses, farm crops, etc., are less prof
liable than formerly.
So, in answer to the question, l would say,
through the Farmer, as l have often said
to individuals, "keep straight on 'stick to
It," We do not do we'll, as farmers, to
change our business too often. If we have
flock Of sheep, and our barns and sheds are
all prepared to shelter and feed them, every
step we take towards changing for other
stock will cost time and money Store sheep
are not in demand, and if we sell we must
sell for what others will give. Store cattle,
such as are likely, and such as farmers can
afford to keep, are in demand, and if we buy
we must give other peoples prices. So here
we are at disadvantage again. "Cauada
cattle" as they are called, are in market at
reasonable prices, if any price can be reason
able for such stock, but if any farmer pro-
poses to exchange his flock for such stock
God pity him. But, leaving comparisons
out Of the question, let us lsOk at the sheep
on her merits. 1t is not likely that things
will be worse in the future than in the past.
The past season we in this county have re-
ceived for our wool thirty-two cents, and for
our good lambs, four dollars. At any rate
that is what | have received, and my flock
is no better, think, than the average if il
is, there is no reason why the average should
not be as good or better than mine.
Let us consult the figures and see how thu
account will foot up, and if am not correc
in my estimate, hope your readers will SCI
me right. We will call the price of good
eve sheep four dollars.

The Rose of Peace
HENRY VAUGHAN.

My soul, there is countrie
Altar beyond the stars,
Where stands winged sentrie
All skilltul in the wars.
There. above noise and danger,
Sweet Peace sits crowned with smiles,
And One born in manger,
Commands the beauteous files,
He Is thy gracious friend
And 70 my soul, awakeD
Did In pure love descend
To die here tor thy sake.
IL thou canst but get thither,
There grows the flower OF peace,
The rose that cannot wither,
Thy fortress and thy ease.
Leave then thy foolish ranges,
For none can that secure.
But One who never changes
Thy God, thy Life, thy Cure.
