Sheep on Farms.

Southern Planter.
England has now been in cult
walton for more than 900 years, yet
by intellectual farming and liberal
use of fertilizers, the soil is still made
to produce more per acre than many
farms in this country, which less than
100 years ago We're covered with a
very good forest. A great many
farmers will argue that they have no
money with which to purchase fertil-
izers, and that their barnyard does
not begin to supply the quantity. To
them we can say, "Do like your cou-
sins across the waters have flock of
sheep and let them manure the land. A"
To accomplish this end more wicker
hurdles must be provided, that lots
large enough to contain the sheep
can be inelosed and the sheep kept in
hand. Sow turnip or some other seed
which will grow on comparatively
poor land, that the sheep may have
some pasturage. When this is done
and the crops begin to grow, divide
offa portion with the hurdles, place
the sheep inside, and while eating Of
the crop their droppings will be de.
posted on the land. Continue NOV.
ing the lot from one place to another
until the entire field has been gone
over. If the land is very poor this
mode of treating should be kept up
at least two years; then in the sprin 9
plant wheat or oats, to be followed, as
soon as harvested, by another turnip
sowing, which is to be fed to tie
sheep in the same manner as de.
scribed above, and thus raise two
crops one for the master and one for
the sheep. The animals will improve
in wool-growing qualities, increase in
numbers, add to the supply Of man.
ure, and all the while enriching the
owner. There is no better manure
than sheep-droppings, and by follow
ing the above mode of sowing and APP
plying it marked benefits will result
IN short time. The inevitable law
OF nature to return something for
what Is taken away must be adhered
/ to.

Stock Notes.

There is no advantage to be de-
rived by attempting to economic in
rations of the stock at this season.
Although the working animals may
be idle at times, yet there is demand
on the system for animal heat and
it must come from the feed. If not
provided with all they need, they
will be in poor condition for Spring
work.
Many hogs are kept comparatively
poor by the high dilution of their
food. They take in so much water
that there is not much room for
good supply of nutriment. Hence
the reason that those farmers who
carefully feed nndiluted sour milk
to their hogs have so much finer ami.
mails than those who give them slop.
The hog has not room for much water,
and if food which contains much Is fed
to him it makes him big-bellied, but
poor. Hogs, as well as all other
animals, should be allowed all the
water they will drink but it should
not be mixed with their food in ex-
cessive quantity; the hog should
not be obliged to take more water
than he wants in order to assimilate
the food he requires.
One of the best dairymen in Yer
mont says; 81 have come to the con-
clusion, after seven years experience
in the feeding Of meal every day to
such of my cows as were giving milk
that in the future | would feed more
meal instead Of less. | believe that
when the cows have been properly
selected and are of IL breed that is
reliable as to butter qualities, it
amounts to certainty that all we
feed them above what is required to
sustain their bodies will be returned
to us in butter, with Il large profit
on the investment. At the same
time, care should be exercised not to
over-feed. Gilt-edged butter cannot
be made from cows thin in flesh or
poorly fed. Farmer and Mirror
A dairyman should study the
peculiarities Of each COW. Some
cows will appropriate all the extra
food they can digest to the secretion
of milk, and even depIete their sys.
TENS to keep up a full flow of milk.
Such cows should be especially well
provided for-their generosity should
be reciprocated. These are the COWS
that pay for their feeding. They
pay back the principal with large
percentage Of interest on all the
extra food given them. They are
the only good cows that will pay for
their extra feeding-in fact, they are
the only good cows that will pay for
feeding at all. And a dairyman may
rest assured that COW that will not
respond to liberal feeding by an
equal increase Of milk is not worth
Keeping, and instead of adding to his
income, runs him in debt every
year.

Considering that any method tend

The Farm Cow.

be in the shade of straw stack in
the feeding season; also one that will
give a good carcas of beef when desr.
ed, and that will produce calves of
which the best working oxen can be
made. The Devon is precisely such
a breed and can hardly be surpassed
in its appropriate place, Its deep red
color handsome outline, finished
form, its hardness, activity and good
feeding qualities its good milking
capacity and its production of the
best quality of butter, especially as
regards the requisites of color, flavor
and texture, during a short season, all
make it desirable for the farmer who
wants cows that are productive in the
summer and will go dry in the winter
and feed easily around the yards. A
good Devon COW will milk twenty
quarts day when fresh, and will
gradually go down to ten in three
months, and may be counted on for
one hundred and fifty pounds of but.

be serious damage to milkman who
has only a poor thin pasture and
would not be liberal about the meal

would shrink to askeleton, large-eyed

Il grade Ayrshire could be expected
to give milk until she died at the

any circumstances will expect milk
or butter without food. 1t is the

Southwark, "rhe March of Empire.'

The New York Mercantile Jour
nal says no one can well doubt that
the region of most marked develop
ment, in the decades upon which we
are now entering, will be, South of
us. The West has risen like a giant
and surprised the world; and the
West has a wonderful career of pro-
gress yet before her. But the regions
of the South are only beginning to
attract the attention they deserve,
and at no distant day, perhaps, they
will cause more wonder at their
hitherto unobserved extent than the
West has ever done. Agricultural
productions there are more varied,
unoccupied or partially improved
lands more extensive and cheaper,
while there is little doubt that the
mineral resources yet to be developed
are more abundant, AS for manu-.
features, no such financial success is
attending works for this purpose as
have been reported by the ventures
made the last few years.

II is gratifying to hear that the new re-
tortS at the gaS-wOrks will soon be in
proper order. The supply OF gas is
hardly sufficient now, and Is the days grow
shorter will be more and more inadequate.
Public opinion is settled in favor Of light
ing the street-lamps on cloudy evenings
without regard TO whether the almanac
says it is or is not to be moonlight night.
1t is bad enough for Richmond to be
without electric lights on her streets, but
to be without even gas when the nights are
cloudy and rainy puts her in the front rank
Of cOmatOse cities.
So far as can be aScertained, the opposi-
ton to the electric light from cOunciImeH-
there Is next TO none from the people
comes from the fact that electric light is
better for street lighting than gas. and
there is Well-grounded fear that for that
and other purposes it will supersede gas.
Our citizens will have to fight hard for
the electric light, but that in the end they
will win there is no doubt.
II Is the old fight Of stage-coach rerSttS

street-lighting will go under.
