No period in the history Of the sheep
business has been more critical than
the present one, when the turning
point is evidently not far away. AT
this time farmers are studying pre-
paratory to deciding what the future
of the business is likely to be, and
whether they shall breed many, few
or no ewes this fall-and all these
things must be decided soon. There
can be no doubt that farmers should
conduct their flOcks just as if nothing
unusual was wrong with the sheep
business, and the probabilities are
that those who do this will not regret
it when their next lamb and wool
crops are ready for market.

Crows are cawing sharp and clear
Where the rustling corn grows scar;

Chirps the cricket at our feet

Moons are sunny, warm and still;
\ golden haze o'erhangs the hil,
Amber sunshine 5 on the floor
Just within the open door;
Still the crickets call and creak,-
Never found, though long we SEEK
Oft comes faint report of gun;
Busy flies buzz in the sum-
In September
Evenings chilly are, and damp,
Early lighted is the lamp;
Fire burns, and kettle sings,

On the rug the children lie;

From the elms a robins song
Rings out sweetly, fingers long
