Sheep Better Than Cattle.

There are two sides to all disputed ques-
tions. and both must be examined If we
would ascertain the truth. As to which
are more proftable-sheep or cattle-loca-
ton. soil and other considerations must be
taken into account in determining. A.
Hyde, in the Country Gentleman, gives
some advantages the shepherd possesses
over the herdsman as follows:
"In the first place, stock OF sheep costs
less than one of cattle A farm which will
carry twenty COWS will carry about eight
times as many sheep, and to stock farm
with 20 COWS and corresponding fixtures
will require an outlay of $1,000. An
equivalent number of sheep (say 100 can
be purchased for about half this sum. A
flock of sheep demands less care than
herd of COWS. The latter must be MIXED
daily, and butter and cheese making is con-
slant and laborious. Then sheep will live
and thrive where COWS would make poor
returns Almost every herb that grows,
down to the Canada thistle, suffices sheep
for food. Pastures are greatly benefited
by being cropped by sheep. They not only
keep down the weeds, but have more fertil-
ling materials in their droppings than have
cows. In the milk of the latter much
phosphate of lime and other saline, as well
as heterogeneous matter, is removed, but
sheep carry nothing off but their wool. A
flock of sheep also multiplies more rapidly
than herd of COWS. Sheep also fattcn
much more easily than cattle, and when
slaughtered furnish not only meat but

Setting Currant Cuttings.

Robert Scott, of La Porte, Ind, writes
as follows:
''But very few who plant currant cut
tings do it at the right season of the year
1t is usually done in the spring, when in
fact it should be done in the fall. | have
had good deal of experience in propaga-
ting currants. always plant my currant
cuttings in the fall as soon as the leaves
fall off. They will make durable roots two
to four inches long the same fall, while the
buds remain dormant. They will make
double the growth the next season if set in
the fall, and they should be set in ground
that will not heave them out by the effects
of frost and should be covered just before
winter sets in with coarse litter. Remove
the covering early in the spring and exam
inc the cuttings to see if any Of them hove,
and if so, press them down again. Should
they heave up an inch or more, If well
pressed down they will start and make
better growth than cuttings set in the
spring. In either case however, the cut
tings should always be made in the fall

The scarcity and high price of black
walnut timber should induce farmers to
cultivate this valuable tree. In few years
after planting it will be fit for market.
Young men, especially, should pay atten-
ton to the culture of black walnut. There
are always places on the farm where they
can be grown, which are not occupied by
other products. They would of course not
be an Immediate source of revenue, but In
a few years they would grow into con-
siderable sum of money, without any ex-
pense to the producer.
