A general purpose sheep Is pet
hobby with many farmers. the same
as general purpose horse and COW.
and as no two can agree as 70 what a
general purpose sheep Is. each one
trains and develops his own after ways
peculiar TO himself Some buy one
breed and another some different kind;
they cross and re-cross until there are
nothing but mongrels left The gem
eral purpose sheep Is one that will do
well on almost any kind OF food. and
that will thrive we'll whether IL has
good care given IL or not. Such sheep
are never found, and so with careless
habits and improper attention the
focks containing such sheep never
pay much. 1t does not cost much 10
keep them. and SO there Is little
margin for profits But the question
is can they be made to pay double for
extra care and attention bestowed
upon themp Undoubtedly they can.
The nearest approach TO the general
purpose sheep Is the two-purpose
sheep-a mutton and wool cross. AS
a rule the heavy fleece producing sheep
are not good mutton makers, and any
cross that will combine the two Is the
one that thousands OF farmers need.
They are not strictly sheep-raisers.
but they make this business a profit
able adjunct TO their other farming.
They cannot give the necessary amount
of intelligent care and attention TO
their flocks TO make them produce tho
extra fine fleece, nor the very highest
mutton that is sent TO market. They
need medium between the two, one
which can produce fair amount of
wool, and a standard carcass for the
butcher.

A New Era of Prosperity.
The Modern Miller.

The Modern Miller.
1t is the opinion of many close OBJ
servers of the times that this country
has entered upon new era of pros
perity. One of the chief reasons for
this belief that they cite is that wheat
values, which, with the exception of
two or three instances of temporary
abnormal initiation, have for a num-
Der of years past been unusually low,
must in the future inevitably main
tain a higher range, owing to the
simple fact that our home consump-
ton is increasing much more rapidly
than the production of wheat-that
there will be less new land to subdue,
less bonanza wheat farming and a
greater Investigation of crops in the
future than in the past. AS the pros
perity Of the country depends upon
that Of the farming community, it is
easy to see that a steady, legitimate
advance in the price Of breadstufS
under the conditions cited would in
evitably bring better times to the
people. Increase Of home cosump-
ton is the factor upon which the
farmers and millers must mainly rely
to enhance their prosperity. The
foreign market will cut much less Of
figure in the future than heretofore,
and the sooner those who are banking
so heavily upon it now arrive at an
understanding of this fact, the more
contented in mind will they be.

unless, indeed, favorable conditions
are to be taken as the rule. During
the past ten years ninety per cent of
my acquaintance engaged in farm
ing-and my acquaintanceship among
farmers is not limited-that have
grown grains and meats, and eXer,
cised good judgment, have done more
than make both ends meet. know
quite number of young men that
began farming for themselves less
than fifteen years ago with less than
one thousand dollars capital, that to-
day are worth from $1,000 to SIS, 1000,
and they and their families have
lived well. In Houston township,
this county-in which 1 lived 10 years
and in which there is not a town
buildings to the value of $1,000 are
now in course of construction, by par
ties that 10 years ago were not worth
500, 900, and they have good farms
paid for now, paid for out of the land.
And even if Mr.. Davis assertion
were strictly true, is 1t not as favor
able as can be made of merchandise
ing, or manufacturing, or of profess
sional or salaried employments? How
many of the thousands of city wage
workers can do more than make both
ends meet? How many of the mer-
chants or manufacturers or lawyers or
doctors or clerks or bookkeepers do
more than make both ends meet :?
How many fail to make both ends
meet, and owe the grocery and dry
goods merchants, the coal dealer and
the doctor, no one that has lived only
on farm would imagine! And Of
the very, very few, comparatively,
that do succeed in doing more than
make both ends meet and establish
themselves in business, ninety per
cent lose all they have sometime dur
ing life. Farming is safer than that.
Statistics show that of city people
scarcely one per cent die with a COM
petence. How much better is the
Showing by farming! Let us labor
zealously and without prejudice, with
brain and tongue and pen and hand
for justice to our agricultural inter
ests, for the mighty increase of legiti.
mate profit, for abundant prosperity
on the farm, but let us also remember
that our calling is even yet safer and
better than any other "under the
whole heavens"

That Agricultural Depression.

John NJ. Stahl in Country Gentleman.
The articles of Mr.. Davis in your
paper and his article in the Forum,
are indeed able; but he eXaggerates
the influence exerted by the expan-
sion of the area devoted to agricultu-
raj production. Other circumstances
have played not unimportant part
in the production of the alleged agri>
cultural depression. have not been
able to see so dire depresson as
many would have us believe exists.
The agricultural depression is largely
relative. Farmers live better today
than they did Is or 80 years ago.
They wear better clothing, have more
carriages, musical instruments and
books, travel more, and use more
machinery to make their work light
er. No greater proportion of them
have become bankrupt, notwithstand-
ing the hue and cry-raised for politi-
cal effect and not ungrateful to the
ears of many of us.
Mr.. Davis assertion that "the most
industrious farmer growing grains
and meats, and exercising good judg
ment in conducting his business, cal
only under exceptionally Favorable
conditions do more than make bot
ends meet" is altogether too strong
