The Successful Farmers.

Working farmers are the successful
ones now. There Is no calling or bust
ness or profession but what calls for
work as well rs watching. The mer-
chant, the physician, the LAWYER, every
man must take an interest in his own
business, and farmers are no exception
Leaving farms to an overseer or drivers
has played" Norman will 90 on the farm
and have the work as well done rs the
owner himself His eve should super
wise everything feeding and watch
ing of stock; the taking care of tools
and machinery; the sharpening Of plows,
repairing Of fences, in fact, all matters
pertaining to the farm, must be looked
after by him. His profits are regulated
by the closeness with which he watches
details, takes interest in them and pays
attention to them.
Now, at the beginning Of the season.
all farm implements should be put in
proper condition for work; plows should
be made sharp, harness, single trees,
gates, fences, in fact everything should
be put in order. If all this has been
attended to and there is no blowing or
other farm work on hand, clean up your
yard and lot, burn up all old, useless or
worn wooden tools, and put away the
iron If corn has not been planted,
prepare the land as soon as possible, and
overlook and select your seed. Watch
everything closely, read what is going
on all over the country, as well as the
columns devoted to your interest, and
learn from the experience of others, as
we'll as from yourself how to be prudent
and prosperous.

Rules for the Care of Sheep.

The following good rules for the care
of sheep we find floating round without
credit. The writer, evidently, under
stands how to take care of sheep, and
every farmer who keeps sheep-as every
farmer should, at least tew-ought to
paste these simple rules upon his stable
door, that himself and hands may see
them often, and adhere 10 them
strictly:
Keep the sheep dry under foot with
Htter-is even more necessary than
roofing them. Never let them stand or
lie in mud or snow.
Take up lamb bucks early in sum-
mer, and keep them up until Decem-
Der, when they may be turned out
Remove the lower bars as the sheep
enter or leave yard, thus avoiding
broken limbs Count them every day.
Begin granting with the greatest
of care, and use the smallest quantity
first
If Il eve looses a lamb, milk daily a
few days and mix little alum with her
salt
Let no hogs eat with sheep.
In weaving lambs, use little mill
Never brighten sheep if you can
avoid it.
Sow rye for weak ones in cold weather.
In the fall separate the weak, thin or
sick from the strong, and give extra
care.
Ifone is hurt, catch at once: wash
the wound if in fly time apply spirits
turpentine daily always wash with
something healing Splinter broken
limbs tightly, loosening as the limb
swells
Keep a number of good bells on them.
Don't let them spoil wool with burrs.
Cut tag locks in early spring.
For seours give Pulyerized alum in
wheat bran. Prevent by taking care in
changing dry for green feed.
flame, examine feet, clean out heofs;
pare hoof, if unsound, and apply tobacco
boiled with blue vitriol, in a little
water.
Ifthe weather is not too cold, shear
at once sheep beginning to she'd, and
carefully save pelts of those that died.
Have some good book on sheep to
refer to. It will put money in thy
purse.

:. Rufus Mason, in the New York
Rural, gets good dead Of poultry sense
in single paragraph, as follows: . The
real needs of poultry are few and sim
pie. They are: Warm, dry, vermin-
proof Foosting and laying quarters, clean
water, gravel lime and variety of grain
TO choose from. If any hens are found
lousy or sickly under such condition, cut
off their toe nails just behind their ears,
and the flock viii be better for it. Why
should We expect to have good poultry
and eggs upon our tables, if we dose the
poor creatures all the time upon nonsen-
steal nostrums. Poultry do best when
made to work, that is, to scratch for
their living. Feed them one full feed
of mixed grain every morning at sun
rise, and let them have ample range the
rest Of the day. Change the treatment
from nonsense to common sense for
mutual benefit"

Every farmer may not be able TO reach
the maximum of production, yet he can
make his land produce what he needs
and what an accommodating market will
pay him well for, when he has it in ex-
cess of home wants. No farmer in the

outset, has any excuse for not making
every acre contribute to his own and the
