How to Make Sheep Profitable.
BY W. J. FOWlER.

lfthere he any mystery about making a flock
Of sheep profitable it will find solution in the
advice Herer to keep any poor OHeS There are
inevitable losses among the culs Of any flock,
and with sheep especially, If large numbers
are herded tDgether, the old and feeble must
fare badly and will finally die. 1t Is very rare
that at any season an even lot of good sheep
can be bought, and IN such cases the true poll
cy is to faten early, or otherwise dispose of
the poorest. Doing this, the flock will i'm
prove in character, and by the Introduction Of
new blood may be made decidedly superior.
The average age to which sheep can be prof
itably kept is not more than six or seven years.
For ta,tening they are best at four and five
years; if kept much after six, there will he
danger of losses from imperfect feeding. Old
sheep cannot eat whole grain so well, and may
be better fattened on bran and meal. Young
sheep on the contrary, do not need 20 have
their food ground. Their digestion is so per.
feet that if not over.fed, little will be lost
A good breeding eve should bring Der own
er five dollars per year in wool and lambs.
Wethers Will produce less per year, but are
much better for fattening when Of the right
age To be sent TO market. The high price of
early lambs will, however, take off the best OF
choicest. Late in the season butchers will not
pay as much for lambs, and then the culls are
left over To be added to the flock. This is a
disadvantage of selling lambs for early mar
ket The best course is either to require The
buyer TO take all, or fatten and send to market
yourself-N. Y. ErGninrr.

Funny now things will happen sometimes
Messrs. Gallagher and Ragbag are strangers,
and the other day they went down to see old
Mr.. Crops, who Is very deaf Neither knew
Crops, but both were aware Of his niirmlty.
Gallagher reached the place and found Crops
out, but sat down to wait for HIM. Presently
Gallagher came in. Each thought the other
to be Crops. Ragoag went up to Gallagher,
put his mouth to that genteman's ear, and in
loud voice cried: SCOT any hogs to sell ~
The yell made Gallagher jump like a steer,
and at first he was mad. Bat he rccolected
that deaf people talk very loud and so placing
his mouth at Ragbag's ear, he roared: 81 want
to buy mule" That nearly split Rag rs
head and he jumped IN good shape Then he
saw that he wasn't understood and yelled
louder Hogs are the things to deal in! !" and
then Gallagher saw that he wasn't cOmpre
hended and cried, II must have mule that
won't kick" Ragbag put on more steam and
yelled, IL tell you | wantfa hogs Gallagher
tuned up loud enough TO he heard half n mile
away and howed: Mule! mule! brlntle
color preferred" mo Western hogs for me
tell you want to buy some good fat hogs"
beloved Ragbag. II wish | could make this
old ass understand that want to buy mule"
thought Gallagher. Have you got brindlc
mule to sel?" he howled, getting very red in
the face This old numbhead IS awful deaf"
thought Raghag, and then he nearly tore the
top of his head off in whooping out: at
you've got any hogs to sell, want to see EN-"
BY this time both men were mad and each liz
wardly swore he'd make the old fellow hear
or die IN the attempt. Mule! mule! mule,
tell you MULE" mady shricked Gallagher
dancing about. Hogs said hogs hogs is
what | want! HOgs!" screamed Ragbag, with
an effort that split his shirt the whole length of
his back. BY that time the nelghborhood was
aroused. Crops's son came in and asked what
in somewhere was the matter. 81 can't make
this deaf old ass hear anything" cried Rag.
bag. You might fire cannon beside him
and he wouldn't notice it' SAID Gallagher
An explanation ensued. Then the disgust of
both men was painful to behold. Each said
the other was an idiot and altogether to blame
in the matter, and 1t WAS hard work to keep
them from fighting. They united, however
in request that the matter be kept secret, but
it wasn't, and they are keeping concealed to
avoid paying the drinks to about fifty people
who know of the naturalization Post
