1T has been well said that farmer
success is as much due to selling at the
right time as in buying at the right
price. Reasonable profits and prompt
returns should be the rule of the
farmer, who, just as surely rs a mer-
chant, will find it not well to keep any
kind of salable material too long on

1t is well suggested that keeping
stock sheep dry under foot is more i'm
pOrtant than covering them with roofs.
Hence undulating or billy landi is every
where said to be "good for sheep"
The fact is, the sheep is rather a deli
cate and dainty animal. and avoids mud
and filth, whenever possible; and no
animal more quickly responds to the
care which provides it appropriate food
and shelter from the blasts and storms
of winter.
Prof. Shelton advises Kansas farm
ers to plant small, arly-maturing, eight
rowed sorts of corn in preference to
larger varieties. Had such corn been
uniformly planted. he says. a good
crop could have been made during
almost every one of the past eight
years. The present season the small
sorts. like Compton's Early and King
Philip, were ripe before September 1,
and long before the drought had been
seriously felt.
Hogs are more profitable than many
suppose. Mr.. L. ID. Baird, in giving
his experience in the Practical Farmer,
commenced with hog valued at 81, in
June of last year. He bought corn at
so cents per bushel. and fed 10 bushels.
On the 30th day of November it made
243 pounds of pork. The pork was
worth S5 per hundred, making S12.15,
and five loads of manure IS; total
S17.15. The hog at 81 and corn at 81
made 80 expense, leaving clear profit

hours. Then pass through a colander

Testing q Tr0tting Team.

An Appleton business man wanted q
span of horses, and he wanted pretty
fast ones. but he didn't know much
about that kind of stock. A horse
dealer had team that was reported
pretty fast, which he would sell cheap.
The merchant took the team to drive a
little, and got friend in with him. and
they went up to the track, and the
friend drove the team around the track
while the merchant stood on the judges
stand and timed them. The team went
around pretty good, and the merchant
looked at his watch and got in the
wagon. The friend asked him what
time they made. but he said never
mind" He drove down to the horse
dealer and paid him the money for the
horses and drove off with his friend,
and when they turned a corner and got
out of sight of the horse dealer, the
merchant said to his friend: That's
the best bargain that was ever made in
this State, on pair of horses" The
friend looked astonished and asked:
"What time did they make, honestlyr'
The merchant said: They trotted in
three minutes without break The
friend looked as though he was not
much surprised, and finally said:
THAT is not so bad, but it isn't fast
That is at the rate OF a mile in six min

a start, as if she was certainly not in his
mind when he spoke of being in haste
to get home.
Once or twice he came and stood be-
hind his mothers chair, trick he had

liked 10 lean over her, and look down
in her face, and catch the fond look in
the uplifted eyes: he had always felt a
