COMMON soda, such as they use In

"a FEW years hence" says Nj. 10
seph Harris, " American Cotswold sheep
WIN be shipped by Thousands and tens
of thousands every week to England.
There il no reason why they are not
now shipped in large numbers, except
the fact that they cannot be found. We
do not raise enough of them, or feed them
well enough"
WHEAT requires . fine and mellow soil
it is best if compact below and roughish
on the top. If there are any clods, these
should be brought up from below by re-
peated harrowings and broken by the
roller or disk harrow. If they can mot
be broken up completely they are better
on the top than below the surface. A
roller will break many.
PorATORs suffer more from weeds
than any other crop. One weed will
take up and e~vaporate . good deal of
moisture from the soil, and rob the crop
of what it greatly needs. This loss Of
moisture is not often thought of in con-
sidering the effect of weeds, but it il
very important. When too late to be
killed BY cultivation, the weeds should
be hand pulled.

who takes sufficient care Of his stock
