Farm Notes.
Sheep give two crops year, one in the
| fleece and one in the lambs; sometimes
three, for IN California and Texas they shear
bNlCc year.
Corn can be perfected by going through
the fields and cutting out the stake that do
not exhibit the proper form in stalk and ear,
and the seed now ready in the barn can also
be assorted with benefit
A Michigan wool-grower considers the
merino the best sheep. In his opinion they
can be kept in large Jocks of 100 or /, 600, but
| it can not be done with the coarse wooded
| sheep. While many have rried the expert
ment with coarse-wooled sheep and failed,
success has attended the efforts OF those whu
used the fne-wooled breeds.
