pointed Special Deputy Grand Worthy Chief

3. Count every day.
4. Begin grainiDg with the greatest

6. Let 10 hogs eat with the sheep in
the spring, by any means.
Z. Give the lambs little milk feed in
time Of weaving.
:. Never frighten sheep if possible to
avoid it.
9. Some rye for weak ones i'll cold
weather, if YOU can.
10. Separate all weak, thin, or sick
from the strong in the fall, and give them
special care.
II. lfauy sheep is hurt, catch it at once
and wash the wound, and if it is iiy-time

An exchange observes under the head
Of Useful Birds: "Many Of the birds
most useful to the farmer and horticulture
ist, as wrens, wood peckers, nut-hatches,
tltmice. etc, are species nesting in holes
OF decayed trees or stumps, and only
found where such places Of abode exist,
disappearing to a greater or less degree
with them. OF late years various contri-
vances have been devised, especially in
Germany, to supply suitable breeding
places to the birds mentioned, the most
available and satisfactory being made of
patterns Of different shapes, either parti
ally globular, cylindrical, or conicaI, and
suspended to the trees. These, when
smeared with moss and lchens, are al
most as acceptable to the birds as hollow
trees would be, and attract large num-
bers of them"

Despite the constant attention which

there are many farmers who have never
raised or kept a single sheep, though
their farms are adapted to raising sheep
largely and protitably Why this is we
cannot imagine, for facts and figures can
be had by the score to prove the profit
a6leness of sheep breeding, if necessary,
and about the only drawback in many
localities is the loss occasoned hy dogs.
Many Il rough, Worn0ut or neglected farm
might be brought up rapidly and be made

as the manure from the sheep is one of the
most enriching Of manures, and is evenly
and timely distributed. OF course they
may not do this without being fed some
thing besides what they can get in the
fields. yet this additional food works 10
the profit of the breeder in two Ways-it
not Only insuIes good and profitable
growth of flesh and wool, but it makes
the manure richer and more valuable.
Even poor farmers can give sheep d trial
