ThreeProfts a Year.

Sheep afford a double income annu-
ally, lambs and wool, and must be
considered among the most profitable
of farm stock, especially where the
fences and accommodations are adapt
ed to them. My experience proves
that sheep pay best which yield three
profits a year. This, can be accomplied
by selecting good framed healthy,
middle aged ewes in August, or early
in September, and turning them with
a Southdown or other mutton breed
ram, SO they will drop their lambs at
any time from January 15, to February
f5. Suitable warm and comfortable
quarters. of course, need to be pro-
vided. Give these ewes a run at grass
during the fall, and have theni come
into winter quarters in good condition.
III the pasture is not fine, give . little
corn daily all through the fall. When
housed for the winter, feed plenty OF
good clover hay and have water Dy
them at all times. Give q little corn
every day. When lambs begin to drop
feed literally with turnips, or bran
and corn. After the lambs are all
born, and the danger of caked bags
has passed. cotton seed and meal may
be fed to advantage; in fact, feed the
eve for milk as you would q miicn
COW. As soon as rhe lambs are Ole
enough to eat, which they will be al
an early age, have a pen separate from
the sheep, and accessible to the lambs
at all times, containing a trough from
which they can eat. Feed meal OF oats
and corn ground together, two PARIS
oats to one of corn, cracked corn, and
oats. Change the feed and encourage
them to eat all they will. Keep them
dry and warm with plenty OF room
for exercise. Sell as early as they are
ready for market and when they vii
bring the highest prices. After ths
I lambs are sold. keen on feeding tn
ewes ali they will bear. Shear early
and then sell the well fattened ewes y

What Joycc Really wrote.

The Philadelphia NaTS which has
noticed with critical interest the late
literary controversy between Colonel
John \. Joyce and Mrs Ella Wheeler
Wilcox, has arrived at the conclusion
that the disputed verse rs originally
written is rs follows, and that no qucs
ton can be raised as to its authorship:
Play when the gang plays for you,
Draw il You draw alone;
For standing pat may burst you Hat,
As experience oft has shown.

You know, for you've been there

But shrink from antcng fair.

They need no noodle who hasn't Doodle,
They're hunting no such pie,
Cut deep when you're not dealer,
