The wisdom of providing shelter against
cold storms and chilly winds has been
made apparent, even in the more southern
exposures. The old idea that sheep do
not require drink and that their wool will
keep them warm without shelter is an ex-
ploded one. Extra care during the win
ter season in way of both feed and shelter
pays in the long run, and must be given
II best results in wool and mutton are OBJ
tanned.
Bear in mind the fact that sheep thrive
much better in dry than in wet seasons,
and provide when it is practicable, high,
dry locations for winter quarters. Low
damp places are bad for all animals,
and especially so for sheep.
On the subject of feed for sheep, partcu-
larry the animals that are to have lambs
in the early spring, Rural New Yorker
has given some sound advice, in which
occurs the following: COttonsced
is not a desirable food for any
breeding animal, for the sufficient rea-
son that its effects encourage abortion.
Again, fine foods are not suitable for
sheep, which masticate their food most
thoroughly. Corn and other carbonaceous
foods are also not good for sheep except in
small quantities. Scecp are warmly
clothed and do not require so much car
OOnaceOuS 1OOu as other animals do. They
are kept for wool and lambs chiefly, and
as the wool contains 16 per cent. of nitro
gen and the lamb needs special provision
for its flesh and bone, foods rich in nitro
gen and phosphoric acid are required.
Hence, clover, as pasture and hay, should
be the main feeding for sheep. and bran
and oats, with Il little corn only, should
furnish the grain food. Three pounds of
good clover hay and four ounces of mixed
bran, oats and buclwheat would keep
sheep of 100 pounds weight in good con
dition, along with as much oat and pea
straw as it will eat.

care of stock indicate the lines along
which the successful farmer must pro.
coed.
Advance is due to improved machinery,
improvement of the mind and Intelligent
thought. The reason why SO many boys
have left the farm is because no room for
mental activity has been afforded them.
The only way TO keep the boy at home is
TO make farming interesting to him and
the only way to make it interesting is to
make it a more intellectual pursuit. In
the words Of another, New England can,
so far as fertility is concerned, be made to
approach nearer an Eden than any other
port of the world If we use properly the
heritage our fathers have left us.
Above all, the highest hopes of
our race will ever gather abont the
fireside and take on form and shape in the
home. The future of this State lies in
the homes of the State. 1t should be the
one purpose o. each man to place our State
in the position Motley says the Dutch
republic once held, "In proportion to their
numbers they wee more productive of
wealth than any other nation then exist
ing. An excellent reason why the people
were so well governed, SO productive and
so enterprising was the simple fact that
they were an educated people"

THE FARMERS COURSE.
Eastern and Western Farmers Compared
by Prof. W. a. Deering.

| There WAS good attendance of farmers
present at the seventh lecture in the farm
ers course at the experiment station
| Tuesday Afternoon. Owing to the illness OF
Hon. f. u. Douglas of Whiting, who was
advertised to speak on The Philosophy
of Farm Improvements Prof w. a.
Deering of the University lectured on
"The Eastern aud Western Farmer Com
pared.
Prof. Deering said The Pilgrim of 1920
was typical man. He brought with
him his institutions already perfect
ed. and they were already prepared foran

climate was salubrlUus, soil rich ana
country houndlpss III extent. Certain
happy results appear III the CROWN OF
American life. We possess over the Eng
liSh among others the following adYdn-
tages: the fostering OF inventions no
imperial taxation a common school
education for every child ; local govern
meut by each State The farmers AS
rule own the land they occupy; food
cheap and abundant enol nous natural
resources.
The farmers of America produce four
fifths of the wealth of the country, and
when our resources are fully developed
they will support OO,OOOOOO people. The
chief reason why farming has proved SO
uninvitng il because so much stress mas
been laid upon the power OF the lan' ana
too little upon that OF lhe pra,n; ~ Is 9e-
cause of the increasing possibilities of de
velopment of the best that New England
agriculture is winning BACK those VINO
have left the farms.
Prot Deering drew a fine picture of the
early New England farmer with his rude
yet happy lie which was intensely
earnest.
Does farming pay" Eyes, when the
right man, the masterful man, is found
IN the right mans place" 1t pays be
cause il furnishes the safest investment
for money. Farming in New England
pays equally rs well as IN any otner pOr'
lions of our country of the same latitude
Figures were given showing that the
value OF the New England farmers crops
are worth from one quarter 10 one-thlrd
more in New England than IN the West.
New England possesses the three requisite
conditions essential to Profitable farming,
climate, soil and access TO market. In 1880
Vermont had invested in farms, nipple
ments and stock $3.50 OOOO 900, which yield
ed return of s33.OoO,OOO or over ~ per
cent.
Vermont has LOST more in proportion of
population than any other New England
State, due to inefficient husbandry and the
spirit of enterprise among our young men.
But there is coming to be return move
ment. Each OF the New England States
save one shows gain IN agricultural
population, Vermont being the third.
The farmers of this State are more sue
cessfully developing their resources.
Progress is most marked in improvement

dairy products increase in value of farms.
Nevertheless the proportion OF land III

of from one pint to two quarts of bran at
hiking time twice each day, but some years
it has not been Ted. AT Ter the evening milk

A word About Alfalfa.

Alfalfa is II perennial plant, which
tlourishcs best in warm climates and deep,
rich soils; the roots grow long and large,
and when once established in Il favorable
location an immense amount of fodder
will be produced 10Y several years 1t
succeeds admirably in California, where
its long tap root seems to defy drought,
and is especially well adapted to our
southern states; but il is not suited to
hard pan or close compact clay soil or
thin lands, but delights in soils where its
long tap roots meet with no obstruction.
There is no better plant known for pro-
ducing II large amount of fodder for soil
ing purposes from small area of ground
adapted TO its growth. and it is also used
for hay, although owing to the woody
fibre OF its stem it is not equal to red
clover. 1t has been grown to some extent
i'll the northern states, and even in
Canada, out being Of southern origin its
best results are to he expected in warm,
dry climates on soils adapted to its habits.
The seed can be had from almost any
scotsman, and the quoted price is fifteen
cents per pound. If sown broadcast the
land should be rich, well prepared and
free from weeds, otherwise the plants are
liable to he overrun and killed out for its
first growth from the seed is not Vigor-
GUS one, and for this reason many pat it
in in drills from one to two feet apart. so
that the weeds can he kept down until the
plants have gained the mastery and are
able to take care of themselves.
