Where to Raise Sheep.

Heretofore we have indirectly thrown
cold water on sheep husbandry, but it
was only on the careless and slovenly
way it has been attempted in the
Northwest. When our farmers come
to the conclusion that care and indus
try are the only sure roads to success,
then sheep raising will become one of
the safest and pleasantest branches of in
dustry. Some imagine that there are
but few locations suitable for this bust
ness. Mr.. V. p. Richmond, of Free
port, H., gives us the location where
to successfully raise sheep.
Where to raise sheep? On every
farm-some more orless-according to
the disposition of the owner, and the
location of the farm, and all advantages
and disadvantages considered. Every
farmer should not make wool growing
an entire business for the farm, but as
a useful adjunct to all other branches
Where an Englishman wants to
raise a great crop of wheat, he
sows turnips and feeds them off
the ground to sheep by means of nova
bic fences. The turnips loosen the
soil, and the sheep enrich it. | find Il
heavy crop of manure from the sheep
stable will grow heavy wheat and a
strong straw, while manure from the
horse and cow stables grow heavy,
weak straw, and no great Improvement
in the wheat. Sheep manure is good for
all crops and and always ready for use.
They are cleaners. A stubble field
will soon be cleaned of all the grain
left on the ground, and the field left in
q better condition for the pillow. They
are weed eXterminators. If you have
a weedy lot, it is only necessary to put
the sheep in for few days, and if they
do not eat all the weeds they will the
seeds, and so trample them that few
will grow. Where fields of corn are
strong, they will do more good than
harm in a corn-tield, eating weeds,
lower leaves, and an occasional ear of
corn. Not like other stock in a corn
field, if they get an ear of corn down
they eat it, and do not waste. Then
sheep are necessity on every we'll
regulated farm as a helper in the cult
walton of the farm. But it is not nee
essary, nor is it best, that every farm
er should go largely into the bust
ness.

Shelter for Cows.

The busy season with the farmer is
approaching its close, when there will
be more leisure, which will favor what
is so requisite at this time-attention to
the stock. We shelter our mich cows
in storm-not all of us-but we for
get that the warm, sunny days have
cool, damp nights; the nights longer
than the day, and that these daily
changes of temperature are hurtful as
well rs the dampness of the nights. 1t
should be made rule, rigidly adhered
to, to shelter stock during the night at
such time, beginning early and con-
tinuing without a single omission, for
no one knows what the weather may
be before morning. Comfortably
housed, with sufficient ventilation, clean
Uttered floors and good feed, there will
be uniform increase of milk over what
is realized from out door exposure,
showing considerable difference in the
amount and quality of milk realized
and the benefit to the cows, making
thus the transition to winter quarters
an advantage as compared with the
condition of the unhoused stock. There
is no lack of sweet nutritious food APP
propriate to the time, such as rowen.
corn fodder, pumpkins, ETC., which are
far preferable to the frost-bitten grass.
Colts and calves require the same treat
ment, if their growth is to continue un-
interrupted-the only way to get full
size and development. Certainly we
have the time now to do this, and who
will say that it is not one of the most
paying expenses of laborp Besides, the
dairyman who feeds and houses well
his cows gets the immediate benefit
from his fodder, while the grass, hurt

Australia Farm Troubles.

A plague of rabbits is upon some por-
tions of the Australian colonies. Far
mers shoot, trap and poison them, and
legislatures have tried in vain to rid the
country of the evil. Poison is the most
convenient and expeditions agent get
employed, but it can only be used in
winter when green food is scarce. A
man on horseback then takes quantity
of oats that have been treated with
strychnine and scatters them through
the fields and in the woods. In single
night hundreds of rabbits have thus
been destroyed. An ordinary trap is
used in summer, great Numbers being
set every night, and man is employed
to watch them and to rest one whenever
a rabbit is caught. The animals skins
are,all removed and packed into bales
for transport to England, where they
sell for two pence or three pence per
pound. Experiments, it is said, have
shown that the flesh of rabbits destroyed
by strychnine is not injured by the
poison, and it is freely eaten in Austria
liza by the farmers. The supply, how
ever, is so great that many dead rabbits
are left lie on the ground, where the
crows and wild cats find and make away
with them in great numbers.

Egg Eating Hens.

wish to give your readers little of
my experience regarding egg eating hens.
l once had a very fine lot of B. B. r.
Games, and thought good deal of them,
but after all the care gave them they
were mean enough to eat their eggs as
soon as laid. Day after day 1 went to
my coop for eggs, but in vain did not
get so much as sight of one. 1 tried
almost everything could think of, but
still in vain. AT last thought would
play trick on them, so l got an egg
and broke the butt open large enough to
let out the inside. Then L mixed up
some good strong mustard and filled it
full, putting piece of shell over the
part broken. l went to my coop and
put the egg in the nest. L had no sooner
dropped the egg than one of my hens
bounced on it like cat on a mouse.
She stuck her bill in and dropped the
egg on the floor mot waiting for me to
retire.) No sooner did it touch the floor
than the rest of the fowls went for their
share they got it, all of them. They
left little for manners sake 1t result
