Can Sheep Be Made Profitable?
Practical Farmer.

Sheep being excellent foragers, and
capable of picking portion of their
subsistence, have been made to adapt
themselves to those sectious where the
land cannot be probably cultivated and
where they are supposed to COS! but a lit
tie III proportion TO that which may be
derived from them. For that rea son the
American farmers have given their at
tentlon to the small, &C i've breeds, such
as the fneClno and native, which exist in
lErSe hUcks more successful than do
those OF larger size.
The objections to the largo mutton
breeds of sheep are that they require too
much attention and must have good pas
turage; that they can not well exist to-
ge5her III large numbers, and must be
protected from the heat ard cold. 1t is
nc doubt true that the merIno is hardy,
ana requires less care than the large
breeds, but the question to be considered
Is whether 1t Will not pay to give the
large mutton breeds that attention which
many are not willing to bestow. We have
the difference IN methods as practioed in
England and Amsrica. The Epglishman
does not attempt to produce WOO, esti-
mating the wool product as som ething
that simply attends The production of
mutton as secondary adjunct, and aims
to secure as large carcass as possible.
So great has been the progress attained
by the English in the Improvement of the
mutton breeds that it is not uncommon
to secure lambs weighing 100 pounds
when they are only 8 months old, while
l50 pounds Is often reached by 6months
old lambs. These weights are greater
than those of our mature native sheep,
and show that the farmer, with the use of
the improved breeds of mutton sheep,
can derive large profit without looking
to the receipts from wool at all.
If the English farmer can pay heavy
rents and depend upon his sheep as the
principal source of revenue, there is
nothing to prevent the American farmer
from doing the same. But the English
grow special crops for sheep, shelter
them, hurdle them, keep them growing
from birth, and only breed from choice
sires. A 3year-old ram has been made
to weigh 425 pounds Give weight), and
ewes often attain over 500 pounds each.
1t is, however, due to the careful feeding
as well as the breeding that success is
met with, for 40 English farmer would
turn out a flock of sheep to fnd their
food or trample desirable heritage. II has
been shown that sheep can be confined
with hurdles and made profitable, and
that the system of giving them large
ranges will not answer for the mutton
breeds, yet the fact that the English, with
an experience OF centuries, have discard
ed wool and given their whole attention
TO lluttCn, is lesson to Us that should
not he overlooked or disregarded, es-
peciaIly as there is a great demand for
choice mutton which is seldom supplied.

Digging Potatoes.
Practical Farmer,

Potatoes should be dug as soon al the
tops have fairly rIpened and died down.
They make but little growth after that,
and what they do make is st the expense
of their eating quality. If the cellar is
dark and cool they may be stored for
winter use, and will keep in much better
condition there than remaining under
ground. If the cellar is unfit to keep
them in during the fall months they may
be kept in q pit il the ground, tax
ing care that the pit is so located as to be
cool, and that no water can enter it either
from above or below. If the potatoes are
not put in barrels before pitting the sides
of the pit should be lined with straw, and
i'll either case it should be ventilated by q
pipe or an air passage, in which is q
bundle of straw. 1t is needless to say
that the potatoes should be dry and free
from any adherjng soil before putting in
the pit, and that any which have signs of
decay should be carefully kept out.
Where convenient to market it may be
less laborious and quite as profitable to
market them as soon as dry. There Is a
shrinkage in weight after a few months
storing, as we'll as risk of loss from de
cay, which, with tee labor of handling,
will usually coUnterbalapce the gain of
high her prices later in the season. This is
applicable to other crops besides the po-
tato, and, as q general rule, the best time
for the farmer to take his goods to mar
Ike. is as soon as they are in marketable
condition. To store them for higher
prices makes him but SPECTATOR upon
a small scale, aud, like all small specula-
tors and gamblers, he is at a disadvantage
when compared with those who under
stand the game better than he, ard who
have all the advantage of labor and CAPT
tai. That farmer sometimes gains by
holding a crop is as true as that mex peri
enced persons sometimes hold a winning
hand ct cards or draw prize in lottery
but where one wins, hundreds lose.

IEnvy and Make Remarks.
New York Tribune.
The hottest day this summer two young
ladies approached the ice water tank in
the waiting room in the Staten IfIand
Ferry. They wanted a drink of the
water. Near by stood a man who also
wanted a drink OF the wafer. He'd been
out with the boys the night before and
he wanted a drink of the water pretty
badly.
You drink first, Flo"
"Oh, no; you Bess."
"Never. &c on Flo"
81 won't do it. Drink first yourself,
Bess."
There were now two men waiting.
Il think you're mean-when you know
1 want you to-"
81 don't care-you've got to drink first,
because 1 won't"
"Well then if I must, I suppose I
must"
There were now four thirsty men in
line waiting anxiously.
"My, but its cold"
"Is it,"

Don't drink it too fast, or it'll make
you sick"
mo it won't. l ate three dishes of ice
cream with Charlie the other night fast
as 1 could swallow them, and it didn't
make me sick"
There were eight men waiting for
drink now.
"'Tis cold; isn't it Bessf"
"Culd as ice"

"Of course"
I'm going 10 drink now"
'Tnat's right-the boat won't be here

''It always does mine; real hard"
That's funny

The census was taker at this point and
50 men found gazing longingly at the ice
water tank.

"Of course you diG-drink whole cup

"Yes-when you get through"

"Oh yes you can"

Sixty-four men reported. Those who
had first fallen into line were roE speech
less with thirst.
''IIl just kill m!self drinking so much
i know l shall"
'Oh no, you won't"
But the horrid stuff is so awfuIIy

THAT don't make any difference"
The crowd of thirsty men was now too
long to count, but careful estimate
placed them at 1897
Let me have little more"
"Why, you'll kill yourself-I never
saw anybody drink ice water so in my
life"

Another Vegetable F0a.

For many years the dodder plant has
been growing in few places II this
state. 1t is now extending very rapidly.
Col. Johnston of Champaign writes II e
Country Gentleman: This plant il half a

thistle and quite as hard to get rid of.
