Funny Demands.

There's broadly humorous side to
the book trade. The fun is generally
furnished by the ridiculous mistakes
people make in the names of books.
A lady sent her maid here one day for
Annie Thomas novel of He Cometh
Not, She Said," but the damsel asked
for HE Combeth Not His Head"
The little boy of prominent
Episcopalian divine came in to procure
for his father religious book called

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Roots for Sheep.


Most farmers are we'll aware that
roots are very profitable to raise for
the cattle to eat in winter. This can
be easily noticed by the success at
tanned by the European farmers and
live stock raisers, and they have won
for themselves an enviable reputation
for excellent beef, which always brings
the highest market price. The farmers
of this country practice it to some ex-
tent but not as universally as its i'm
portance deserves. They are easy to
raise, and very large yield can be
obtained from small tract of land,
which of course makes it all the more
profitable on high priced valuable
land, which is really too expensive to
they do not yield enough to pay a
desirable interest when raised on such
valuable land. 1t is fol this reason
principally that 50 many roots are
raised in the old country where every
spot of land is planted with something,
and where space is SC very valuable as
it is in some of these pOpulOus
countries.
1t would be we'll for our American
farmers if they would practice from
the lesson thus taught, but in feeding
the live stock on the farm too much
attention should not be given to the
cattle and large animals at the ex-
pense of the smaller ones. Sheep and
hogs both need good care and judi
cious feeding to go through the winter
pecially valuable as an occasional food
for sheep. The roots should not be
fed too literally, as they are alto
gether too loosening in their effect, and
if fed this way the sheep will rapidly
degenerate and soon be in mnch
worse condition than they were before
the roots were fed. But if the roots
are only given occasionally and in con-
nection with good grain diet, they
will act as an appetizer and will
greatly aid in digestion. In this way
the roots are not only valuable for
what nourishment they contain in
themselves but aiding in digestion as
they do, the other food will be better
assinilated.
Its just such little things as this that
helps to bring the sheep through the
winter, in good shape, which, as all ex-
perienced persons know, is a very hard
matter to accomplish successfully. az
this is indeed serious time of the
year for them, and there is nearly
always some that die during the cold
weather, and of course in neglected
cases the number is much larger.
Roots are good enough for sheep,
and as they can be obtained so very
easy and in such large quantities, all
farmers should have ut least few to
feed occasionally to their sheep and
young cattle during the cold winter
weather.

One thing led to another, and all the
