Sheep for Hard Times.

The past season, characterized by elm
attic extremes, followed as it must neces-
sarily be by winter in which feeder S
resources will be heavily taxed to avoid
a sacrifice of portion of his live stock,
will serve to give prominence to the
claims of the sheep to formost place in
the farm economy. Subsisting through
much of the past season on a meagre
supply of grass and water, it is now
ready to combat such vicissitudes as may
be in store for it with less detriment than
will result to any of its farm-yard COM
panions that may be subjected to like
treatment. Such tests of endurance are
by no means desirable in the case of the
sheep-are far from those conditions by
which it should be surrounded where the
best results are hoped for, but the fact
that it will successfully withstand them
is just so much to be credited to its favor
BY the rule that a "penny saved is a
penny earned " does the sheep not make
money for its owner, under circum-
stances wherein other animals would
bankrupt him. Thus it is that the farmer
who can enumerate among his live stock
fair proportion of sheep, WILDE en-
abled to partially recoup himself against
the loss to which he is inevitably sub
jected in many localities. If those less
fortunately circumstanced will take the
lesson home to themselves, and apply its
teachings to their future policy, much
good that is not now apparent to them
may be brought out of their present adj
versity. National LiUe Stock Journal.
