The average fleece of wool does not weigh over four pounds and the average sheep does not yield more than fifty pounds of mutton. and that of an inferior quality. What if by improve ment these Aeeees should be raised to ten or even eight pounds and the growth of mutton To seyeaty-fivc pounds? The difference in doIlar5 and cents in the farmers pocket would make him look with some de- gree of favor upon his ilock5. besides the pleasure in knowing that he had done something in the way of pro- gression. Improvement is the one thing necessary in our Aocks. Not that every farmer should have all thoroaghbreds. That would not be profitable at all, hut grade up the flock by the se,ectien of the best com mon ewes and the purchase of thor oughbred bucks, A few extra dollars placed in q good buck will be re- turned greatly multiplied in the en- hanced value of the lambs No man can afford to disregard the value of the buck he uses. My experience with sheep has taught mo that they are profitable. Where farmers size their floeks according to their farms and facilities for caring for them they cant fail to reap reasonable rewards.

STORING ROOT CROPS.
Tho Modes Most Advantageous and simple
 for the Purpose.

for the Purpose.
 The difficulty of conveniently storing large crops of roots has assisted in deterring farmers from growing roots extensively for winter use. The methods of storing roots at present differ but very little from those in use for many years in the past As the farmer can not anticipate the mildness or severity of the winter he is liable to make a mistake in storing, for both heat and cold must be guarded against as the temperature can not well be regulated. One advantage of silage is the ease with which it can be stored and kept during winter, as compared with roots, but the use of sllage should be no obstacle to the feeding ot roots to stock in winter, as both silage and roots have their appropriate places in the list of foods. They in no manner conflict. but on the con- trary, add to the variety of food and better promote the thrift of stock at a season of the year when green food can not easily be obtained.
 When beets, carrots, parsnips, po- tatOes or turnips are stored ln blns the farmer can use them with convenl- ence, but the cellar or barn that per mits of the keeping of beets or carrots may not be well adapted for potatoes, as the former can endure more or less freezing, but any sudden change of temperature, which permits of d higher degree. is sometimes injurious. To avoid this 1t has been found of ad- vantage in some portions of the West to pack the roots in layers. in bins, using sand or clean dry dirt for till- ing the spaces between the roots. This prevents sudden changes in the bin, and permits the use Of the crop as required by removing the earth as the roots are taken out, but even this method depends on the dryness of the cellar or barn. To store roots in the ground for winter Use by covering with earth is to seal them ap by the frost at time when they may be re quired; yet farmers store roots in that manner. and successfully. This should be no reason, however, for re- training from the use of some plan by which roots can be taken from the general store for use without danger of loss from frost of those that remain
 The use of earth as covering l! partly due to lack of proper facilities for storage. and the failure to provide some kind of storehouse for roots Ina. been at loss of roots by attempting to economize by mounds.

you, Becky Moll; that's what there ain'tl" said Dr. Philbriek. tartly, as he mopped the precipitation from his crimson brow. .'Ain't tbat so. Dr. Peevy?'
 .Yes, it is" said Dr. Peevy, briefly, as he gathered up his saddle-bags. "Hobbson thinks so, too, don't you, Hobbson?'
 "Of course I dol" replied Dr. Hobb- son.
 This was far from the conclusion at which the learned doctors had arrived while in the orchard; but the opinions of the most learned men are subject to change They had made some new discoveries as to the patients condi- tion-revealed by the events of the fire-which had literally thrown new light on their investigations.
 'I should think you'd be ashamed to talk to dyin' woman like thatf' said Mrs Moll, rising from her bed and pointing her finger scornfully be- tween the rails of the fence toward the departing doctors.
 The household goods were carried into small but quite comfortable old house across the road, in which the Molls had lived before building the house that had burned. The neigh bors lent their assistance in arranging the furniture, and by night Mir. and Mrs. Moll found themselves comfort ably installed in their old home, with most of their effects around them. Then Aunt 'Cindy went out to the barn where Mr. Moll was feeding his horses and said:
 "See here, Pliny; I'm goin' home. I ain't goin' to stay here any longer doing for a woman that's as well as l am. if she'd only think so. I'm a be- liever in the mind cure for Becky; for if she only thought she was we'll she d be well. -
 i've seen her do some queer things for dyin' woman of late" Aunt 'Cindy went on, emphatieaIly. '1 caught her in the pantry eatin' pie and cold beef one day last week. and when told her the other day that Mandy Peek was goin' by with new dress and hat on, she run to the window to see; and that, and whats happened to-day, has made me think aint needed here, and I'm goin'.''
 In fifteen minutes she was gone, and l Mir. Moll sat for the next half hour on the barn floor with his back against a grain bag. chewing the end of straw and medltating. At last he rose and went into the house and into tine bed- room in which Mrs. Moll was lying
 Becky he said. in a strange but decided tone, Aunt 'Cindy's gone, and l reckon if you want any supper to- night you'll have to git up and git it. I m goin out to milk the cows now, and wish you'd have some flannel cakes for supper when l come in. '
 There was a hidden degree of firm ness in mild-mannered little Alr. MolI s character not often. revealed to others. but Mrs. Moll knew of it's existence. When she heard Pliny speak now she knew that he meant all he said. She herself was very hungry after her ex- ertions at the fire, and PIiny found her frying eggs and cakes and mak- ing an appetizing cup of coffee when he came in with his pail of foamy milk. That was the last of her in eurable malady,n and the last of many of her other diseases. She died of old age twenty-five years later. - Harbour, in Youth Companion.
