Sheep Farming.

In renovating worn out lands sheep
may play very important part, pro-
vided green crops are grown on the
lands, to be consumed thereon by
sheep inclosed on plot after plot by
movable hurdles; for as they feed they
enrich the soil with their well-scattered
droppings. Roots can never form as
important factor in sheep.raising and
crop rotation mere as in England, where
large proportion of the acreage of
each farm is devoted to turnips, to be
fed off the land by sheep, together
with some grain. Thus sheep are fat
tened and the land is MANFRED and pre-
pared for wheat or barley. This can
not be done here, for even if roots
could be grown as successfully as in
England, they would be frozen fast in
the ground just at the time when they
would be most wanted. But though
roots cannot, green fodder crops can
be grown, and it is to these, in connec.
ton with sheep, that the farmer should
trust for the restoration of the fertility
of much of his land. 1t must be I'm.
derstood, however, that this plan is
simpl y means to an end, that end
being the capacity Of the land to grow
clover. Land that will grow good
crops of clover, will grow, or can be
made to grow, anything.
Suppose, for instance, the case of a
man who, in the fall, has six acres of
land too poor to bear seeding down,
and who is without manure sufficient
to put it in such condition, and who is
also possessed of fifty sheep; let him
pillow up that land, put it in as good
shape as possible, and sow thickly with
winter rye, and let him provide HIM
self during winter with 100 rods of
hurdles-less or more-which he can
make himself, if need be. 1t will be
extraordinarily poor land which will
not yield crop of rye sufficient for his
purpose. In the spring, when the rye
is about five inches high--which would
be early in May-let him inclose with
his hurdles half an acre and turn in his
sheep; in addition to the rye, he must
feed daily half a pound of grain per
head, to enrich the manure, and for
this he will be we'll repaid by the ex>
ira flesh put upon his sheep, as we'll as
by the fertilization of his land. The
best food for this purpose is one which
contains large proportion of oil for
fattening and also of nitrogen. An
excellent ration would be quarter of
a pound each of linseed oil>cake and
bran. Each day he should move his
sheep to fresh half acre, by resetting
the hurdles, a task which need not
occupy over half an hour. In this
way he will go over the whole six
acres in twelve days, and by the time
the last half acre is fed off the first
will be ready to be repastured. The
rye, being cropped before the seed pan.
icle is formed, will grow rapidly after
each successive cropping, the more so
as it is receiving constant accessions of
manure.
Six acres of well>rooted winter.rye,
with the above mentioned amount of
grain, will support in good condition,
flock of fifty sheep, and the land will
be left in such an improved condition
that it may be sown in the fall to
wheat and seeded to grass, with clover
added in the spring, and with every
prospect of good results.

A few days ago a Philadelphia paper
in discoursing on the weather said: 1T

on the human system by the violent
changes of our climate which renders
our men unfit to bear study or long
continued work. Call it cd, or cleo
tricity. or simple heat, as you please,
there Is subtle influence in the air at
certain seasons which is the very elixir

such weather as that of last week, and
it's absence produces the decay of vital
force, disease for the middle-aged and
death for the old. The only remedies
suggested, other than fight to more gen.
ial regions is Ito keep up our vital force
10. thoroughly that we may be able to
stand these murderous assaults of our
invisible foe. This is to be done by our
readers by. wholesome, nutritious food

1t is dawning upon the popular

The Way to Lift Stock,

When the war closed, says the Wall
Street News, one Of the Georgia rail-
roads hadn't a depot or freight house on
its line, and it's rolling stock consisted
of two old locomotives and four fiat cars.
These couldn't roll until new ties and
rails were laid, and the outlook was du-
bious enough. However, the president
called meeting of the board to-see
what could be done When he had
stated the condition of the track and
equipment, he added that the company
hadn't dollar in cash, and no collater-
al to borrow money on. He then asked
what should be done.
II move we declare dividend of 10
per cent, boldly replied one of the di-
rectors.
1t was thunderclap which knocked
'em all down: but he followed it up by
offering to loan the company $32, 600 to
make the dividend, and dividend was
decided on. The stock at once leaped
from "a to 80 cents, and in year it was
held at 1OS, and paying dividends on
that.
