Sheep Troubles and Remedies.

When sheep are compelled to live IN
Il dirty yard or, wet pasture they have
foot-rot or what is called with cattle,
..fOuls." To effect cure. after trim
ming the edges of the hoof and wash
ing the foot clean with salt and water,
put in some powdered blue vitriol
while the foot is wet, or il dry some
pine tar. A dry upland pasture should
always be at the command of the
..golden-hoof." although run in low
lots is favorable in time of drouth.
Sheep are also troubled with parasites
in the forE Of scab. This can be
cured By a wash of tobacco water in
which is a little turpentine A good
plan is to scrub or dip the sheep after
shearing. The tick or sheep louse can
be destroyed also by tobacco. This is
one of the best uses the plant can be
put to. The louise Is somewhat like
miniature lobster. crab. box turtle and
potato bug. Sulphur Is good % rec.
commended. as it sweats to the surface
and roots of the wool and the parasites
take It in their food and die young.

SUPERFICIAL FARMlNo.

A Style of Agriculture Which will Never
Be Very Profitable.
Too many farmers count the total
area of their acreage rather than the
average producing value of the land.
No one ever made this diffusive style
of farming very profitable. 1t would
pay far better in the end to concen-
trate means and energy within narrow
limits, rather than acquire a number
of acres to be half titled. Again, the
farmer in putting out manure gener-
ally spreads it over too much territory.
A near neighbor sowed to wheat thir-
teen acres of uniform soil; twelve
acres in his usual way-well plowed.
narrowed level and the seed narrowed
in. The other acre was we'll broken,
and six tons of manure broadcasted
and thoroughly incorporated with the
soil In doing this the surface became
in fine condition. This acre yielded
22l bushels; the twelve acres returned
only 81 bushels per acre. The grain
on the one acre cost forty-ive cents
per bushel; on the twelve acres. sixty
five cents per bushel. Yet with all the
evidence in favor of high culture we
still spread ourselves thinly over
broad acres. 1t should be the motto
of every farmer to make the most of
each foot of land, and to accumulate
all the manure he can and use it to the
best advantage. Much space. always
very rich, around stables. barns and
fences. is allotted to intruding under
brush or debris, or given up to un-
slightly weeds. Learn neatness, care
fulress and economy in the use of land.

Across the grass the moonbeams fall;
Upon the night strikes sweet the trill
or nightingale and whippoorw,Il,
And down the vale hear the cali
To Dancing in the Barn"
All me.
So long ago IL seems to be-
That " Dancing in the Barn"
The torchlight falls on each young face
As, wheeling in the country dance.
Now in, now out, our shadows chase
About the dear, old-fashioned place.
Can aught in life SO much entrance
AS Dancing IN the Barn!"
All, no!
For youth il fair, but IL must GO.
Like Dancing In the Barn"
But at that nigh: when Is Of yore
heard tho haunting old refrain
When Love is done, II comes no more;
And ali, my heart, how you were soreI
And vet my feet kept time again
With Dancing in the Barn."
Too late;
The hour had struck of life and fate
To "Danc!ng in the Barn."
Long after, in Q crowded street,
A Door, old, blind man feebly played
Just where the town and river meet.
My heart stood still, my steps delayed,
For that old tune which stopped and stayed
Was Dancing in the Barn."
And oh!
What tales are told Of long ago
That Dancing in the Barn"
All, poor young love, thought you de;A3
And yet shed these sudden tears
After SO many silent years;
1t seemed q requiem DER your head
That Dancing in the Barn."
But deep
my poor heart that love doth sleep,
With Dancing in the Barn"
