HINTS on SHEET BREEDING From the
new work on Sheep IIusbandry prepared
by Hon j b killebrew, Commissioner of
Agriculture, for the State of Tennessee, we
select the following
To breed property have one well defined
object, and keep that object always before
the mind. T. do tins well IT is absolutely
necessary to know every ram aud eve in
the flock and their general characters To
do tins look to the record book already re-
commended, without which nothing can be
remembered. Keep it also in mind
that the ram much have absolutely pure
blood, as his character and Ia slightest
talnt IN HIM effect the whole flock Ii is of
the greatest importance that the ram should
be thoroughbred, it matters not whether the
breekerss object be wool or mutton. So
strong Is the tendency of the sheep TO
breed back, or return TO the native scrub,
that even though a ram be three iourths
thorough bred, at least two-thrds OF his
progeny will resemble scrubs more than
thoroughbreds. 1t will, in the end, cost less
to buy good ram from a trustworthy breed l.
er than to attempt raise the rams at home
as the admIxflre Of new blood lnvlgorates
the breed. Bear it In mind also, that there
Is a constant tendency To rctroccssIon To
the original native, and IL l. therefore neccs-
sary to guard against tins and Gull out the
offending animal Without good feeding IL
Is useless to attempt fine display OF sheep,
a. a few generations OF half starved sheep
will quickly end where they began Want OF
food makes bad sheep, without II the full
Development Of the animal cannot take place,
and the want Is soon perpetuated III dI-
minutiye size and inferior fleece. 1t i,
IN other words, easier to 20 down hill than
to rise an ascent Though the sheep, to all
ntents and practical purposes, are con,id
cred full blooded after five crosses, which
brings them to thrty-one or thirty two, yet
they are not, and according to the rule Of
arithmetical progression, never can be, aud
the lambs Of some Of these crosses viii show
the ancestry. Therefore. in breeding for
thoroughbrcds, the start must be pure.

WILL TOBACCO Poison SHEiP?-It may
be, that generally speaking, Pope was right,
for certainly little prdcttcat knowledge
even it be but little regarding matters ON
which they write, would be a good thing for

tity.
W hat will the flockmasters of Colorado,
New Mexico and Texas say to that, where
sheep are dipped by the wholesale, taking
them up and throwing them unceremon ops-
ly into the bath and allowing them find their
way out as best they can? Even here in
Illinois, sheep have been treated by the
hundreds in this way and no bad results
known to follow. On coming out they
sneeze and sniff little and shake their
heads as if to throw the liquid out of their
ears, but we have never yet heard of any
being poisoned or sckened from such a
dipping.
It is well known fact that the American

poisoned thereby, As to sheep, we know
from personal observation that they are
fond of tobacco and that they will eat even
plug tobacco with as much apparent relish
as child will eat maple sugar. How much
a sheep could stand without injury we can
not say, having never given more than an
ordinary chew at one time and that merely
to convince doubters that sheep will eat
tobacco. Not being a user of the article
ourself, we have always had to beg a chew
for such an occasion, and we never yet found
man who would willingly spare more than
one good chew at time The ayidity with
which a sheep will take in such an amount
and then nose about for more usually settles
the question SO fully that the giver seems
to think any further trial only waste of
precious material there being apparently
no more limit to the quantity of this than
of grass or hay which sheep would eat
In view of all this it seems strange that our
worthy contemporary should warn farmers
against allowing sheep to be immersed over
head in tobacco water

Cow PEAS AS AFERTILIzER Publishing
Prof. Lcdoux.s 5 analysis Of COW peas, the
.Soathcra Cuiticafol remarks:
One Of the most striking features in the
composition OF the pea, both vine and seed
is the large percentage Of ash mineral
substances it contains. Whilst the grain of
corn has ! . per cent. of ash, the seed Of
peas contain 3 81. While corn fodder has
l.2s per cent. of ash, and cornstaIks 4 2 pea
vines have : 81 per cent, red clover about
per cent, hay from grass ). s, straw Of
grains a little mole than 4, and Hungarian
grass, J. = OF the common forage plants,
clover and Hungarian grass are the only
ones which approximate it in this respec;
Tor, whilst the grasses and grain straws ap-
pear TO do 50, their high percentages Of ash
is due in great measure 10 the large guam
tlty OF SILICA they Contain-a remark " hlch
applies also to Hungarian miilct. The ash
Of pea vines, IN the contrary, contains only
Les per cent Of silica. Now, silica is not
essential to the growth of plants; it may
sometimes sub,erye coed purpose, as in
strengthening the stems of small grains,
but otherwise plays apparently small part
in the economy Of plants
But to return: Peas not only contain d
large quantity Of mineral substances but
those universally regarded as most impor

phosphoIic acid and inc abound, both III
seed and vine. Soda is also prepared in
very large quantity Whether this is due
to the specimens an alyzed being grown on
sandy soil rich,in soda, ss Prof. Ledoux
states to be the case, or whether soda is
naturally appropriated by the pea, and is
useful to it, is worthy Of investigation. f
the latter suggestion is the true one, it
points to common salt or sulphate soda as
good manures fer the pea Dismissing this
point, it is obvious hat the mineral substan-
ces which abound III the pea, strengthen
the position established by experience, that
