THoRoUGHBRED VS.. COMMON SHEEP.
"A farmer in this country, who is sup
posed to own as good common sheep as
anybody in this locality, sheared his
flock ON the Esd, and after weighing the
fieeces, found that each sheep averaged
two and half pounds. Take the whole
number OF sheep in this state, and they
probably will not average more than
the above. Say that wool is worth
twenty cents per pound, the profits from
each sheep will be fifty. Take now an
estimate of feeces of the thoroughbred
Merino and Cotswold, which will not
average less than eight pounds per head
the net profits on each sheep, Sl.60 or
81 10 in favor of the thoroughbred over
the common stock. 1t is nos, however,
altogether fair to estimate the feeces OF
the two breeds at the same price, as it il
well known fact that the wool OF the
thoroughbred will command a higher
marketable value. Now il costs the
same to raise the thoroughbred as tho
common sheep; the mutton OF ore is as
good as the other; the profits Of the
wool of the thoroughbred is three times
greater than from the common. Every
farmer owning a flock of sheep shoult
make il convenient to purchase thor
oughbred ram to improve the qualit,
and yield of his wool; such an invest
ment will pay.-LiUe Stock Journal.

Winter g7e-whea 20 Sew.

Winter rye should be sown in July,
as the soil can theu be worked to advan-
tage and the seed will germinate With
out anv obstruction, il itis good. 1t
takes root Immediately, springing in.o
life SO suddenly that you are surprised
with luxuriant green carpet before
YOU are aware of il. In the October tol-
lowing, you have rich pasture, just
when your summer pastures fail. This
feeding of the rye answers two-fold
purpose; source of profit IN the feed,
aud the thickening of the crop the next
spring. When / was a boy, my father
sowed his rye among his corn at the last
hoeing: three pecks of seed was all that
= was necessary for an acre. This was
fed off by the cows, after the corn was
harvested. Upon some plain land, the
water will kill much of the winter grain,
but when sown where the corn was
hilled up, it would be saved, and no va
sssznt spots be seen. Winter grain will
produce a greater amount OF grain and
straw. both of which are valuab<e-the
straw for the market, the grain to mix
with corn. for swine. An experiment
by Mr.. Hiram Jones, of Dover, Mass.
ia sowing rye for series OF years upor
the same land, without the addition o
fertilizers, resulted in the improvement
of the soil. His method was to plough
and sow soon after taking off the crop
in this way all the scattered grain wa
saved. 1t would be worth the while 70

Ea. Aprlss and Pears.

1t is many years since, that the father
of large family told us that he saved
nearly all his former doctors bills by

apple if they desired It.

4 writer in a cotemporary states, that
after being troubled with heartburn,
wakefulness, indigestion, etc. he adopt
ed the practice of eating apples with
each meal. Ii cured him entirely, and
his weight increased in two months
from $50 to 100 pounds, and he felt
stronger in proportion.
| /, is fact that people in general dc
not fully realize the bles sings provided
by bountifnl Nature in providing fruit
and in giving to man the appetite for il

nately, many men pervert this natnra
appetite bv the unnatural use Of tobacco
AMI alcohol; aud when the latter stimu
lants are INDUCED in, the blinted or
gans do not find much relief in fruit
Drinkers of alcohol are not fruit eaters
and vice versa. fruit eaters are not easily
seducet into the vices of indulging il
the use Of tobacco or alcohol. So say

Weeds.

The best definition We have seen of
weeds is plants growing out ef place, :"
so that any thing growing in cultivated
fields, except the crop itself, is weed

weed, Roman wormwood. smart weed,
or witch grass, ii Is weed all the same.
1t is a plant growing ont of place, and
as such, it should be exterminated. One
crop at a time is generally as much as
ordinary land will grow well. Every
weed that natures in the garden or in
the corn field. detracts from the strength
OF he soil exactly what the weed re-
duired for its growth, which Is generally
equal to that required Tor the growth OF
stock Of corn--for weeds are gross
feeders and consequently thrifty grow
er-, and great exhausters of the soil.
They feed on the same elements that
corn and grain do, 80 that where they
are allowed to grow the regular crops
are robbed. and consequently fail of pro-
ducing what they otherwise might. We
know of no surer sign OF poor husbandry
than the raising Of weeds among cult.
