We know that Il large proportion OF the sheep

to carry their deeces from one 10 two weeks in

it not be better TO shear early, when the wool

as much as it does now. There would be nO

Ringing Grape Vines.
st. Louis Republican

st. Louis Republican
In a letter received from \. J. Caywood of
Missouri, that gentleman deprecates the prac-
tice of ringing grapes, which is adopted by
some grape growers for the purpose of coloring
the fruit early; this result is obtained, but at
the expense OF sweetness and flavor. The
effect on the market is to lower the price of the
fruit. "The novelty and desire for the first
grapes that appear causes almost any one TO
take pound or so along to the family, but the
adults soon discover their interiOrity, and they
refuse to supply their children, who will eat
anything in the way of green fruit, with more
of such stuff.
''The champion grape, which no one in the
country can eat, IS having the same influence
ON the market, and both these nuislnccs should
be seized by the authorities and destroyed.
"Grape-eaterS generally become partially
satisfied with their first purchases, and if not
good, buy lightly afterward, even when the
market is supplied with good, ripe fruit"

Something About Hay:

Most farmers have noticed that hay rapidly
wastes when handled two or three times in
winter. Ii they are obliged 10 buy load to-
ward spring it does not go SO fara, that pitched
directly from their own bays or stacks into the
feed managers or boxes. There is doubtless
hay which are broken OFF and fail on the ground
during the repeated handling. Bur the newly
mown hay is not packed closely and cannot be,
il is SO dry. Il looks 10 be mere tlmn II is. Ii
the farmer in spring is obliged To buy hay he
should usually feed more grain TO make il 90
farther The one advantage OF hay on most
farms is that il is on the premises, and it costs
more to narketit than itdoes grain. The latter
i'm most places furnishes the cheaper nutri-
ment, and when both have TO be bought the
cheaper handling OF grain Is mn argument in its
favor as against hay or coaTser feed.
