farmer can calculate for himself.

to keep a well trained Scotch terrier IN
the sheep barn; he will clean up the rat.
and give notice Of the approach OF

sheep will soon become familiar with his
presence, and ne may run between their

them in the slightest.

The RiCht ErncI of Nnrscs.

James Turner writes in The Rural
New Yorker
My own experience has been that
each one Of the improved breeds Of
horses is best in certain places. You
will find that The breeders OF each dis
tinct class are liable to claim Tor them
that they and they alone are the best
horses for the farmers and stock growers
to breed. This claim, however, is too
broad and entirely untenable. In the
right place the Clydrsdale is best; in
another the Pcrcheron, and in another
special class OF work the American trot-
ting horse, and 50 on down through the
list of the various improved breeds.
~ would advise a breeder, if 20 desires
to produce roadsters. 10 cross on the com
mon mares in his district a standard
bred trorting horse. rs | believe for this
purpose no animal will take the place
and have the endurance and staying
qualities Of the standard bred trottcr.
If the object of breeding il to bring mp
class of horses for general purposes on
the farm would advise crossing on the
common mares of the country a pure
bred Clydesdalc stallion This Cross
should produce an all work horse weigh
ing about ! 400 to $50 pounds at ma
turity, having Il good. broad. fiat leg.
good feet, kind disposition, AN animal
we'll adapted to plowing, drawing loads
to town, or trottlng back home with the
empty wagon.
My impressions are that to breed
common mares Of the country would
produce a grade better adapted for farm
work than for heavy draft work on the
pavements in Il city. Crossing any Of
the improved draft breeds, namely
Clydcsdales. English Shire, Suffolk
Punch, Belgian OF Percheron stations,
on the common mares of the country
will produce an improved class of horses
for heavy team work Being myself Il
breeder Of Clydesdales should natural
ly be inclined TO prefer ClydoS for such
crossing, but at the same time | will be
fair enough to admit that III certain
places and for certain purposes some of
the others enumerated will give good
satisfaction.
If horses are wanted for carriage or
roadster work my experience leads me
to believe that there isnothing produced
on earth equal, in the many qualifications
required, to the American trotting horse.
If properly broken he is always cheerful,
fearless and possesses the necessary quail
ties for the work he may be called upon
to do. do not believe that there was
ever a class of horses, cattle, sheep or
swine bred that can be safely called the
best. Each of the improved breeds is,
i'll my judgment, best in certain places. "

For a long time pOultrymen expected
to combine i'll one fowl all the cxcellen-
cies to be found in the various breeds
The abundance and quality of the tlesh
which characterizes the table fowl was
to be united to the wonderful prolihcacN
which marks the great layers The ex.
pectatlon has not been realized; it never
will be. Artagonistic qualities can be
combined only by robbing them of theil
antagonisn. The great layer and the
great table fowl are differently constitu.
ted, with different dispositions, and con.
vert their food into different products.
II is probable that general purpose fowls
may be improved, that the incest balance
between their qualities has not been
found, but the ideal general purpose
fowl will never exist outside the imag.
inatiOn of its admirers.
There is need Of all three classes OF
fowls. The man who raises poultry fol
market requires the table fowl; the one
who produces eggs for general consump.
ton needs the great layer, and hundred:
and thousands of families which keep
fowls to produce eggs and poultry de.
mand the general purpose fowl. The
general purpose is unquestionably the
most popular fowl in the country, but
the other two classes are steadily grow.
ing in favor, and as the number of those
who make business Of keeping fowls
increases the popularity Of these classes
will increase. H. S. Babcock in Stock.

The subsoil plow follows the common
plow and merely stirs and opens the sub
soil without turning a furrOw. The next
round of the common plow covers the
SUBSIDIZED furow. It's benefit will de.
pend wholly on the character Of the soil.
Soils containing vegetable matter that
has not been drawn upon by the roots OF
plants owing to the former shallow cul
tiyation will be improved by subsoiling
or deeper blowing On undrained wet
lands subsoiling would do more harm
than good Its good effect consists ir
deepening the soil and bringing more OF
it under the influence Of cultivation. II
would not dispense with manure; on the
contrary as the feeding area Of the
plants is increased more manure would
be required unless the surface soil is rich
in which case subsoiling would not be
necessary, Where land has been made
poor by long cultivation ana carrying
away the crops with no return Of plant
food to the soil it cannot be restored to
fertility by subsoiling or deep blowing.
Manure must be applied along with rest
and judicious rotation Of crops.

PROFIT IN SHEEP.
A Leaf from the Experiences Of a Da-
kota Farmer.

kota Farmer.
AS an illustration Of the profit in sheep
raising the subjoined statement is made.
Ben Holcomb, residing four miles east
Of Darlington, is one Of the most practi-
cal farmers in Foster county. He has a
quarter section of pasture land and half
section of farming land all under cult
walton. He has tried wheat raising and
stock raising, and his experience is
worthy of thoughtful consideration by
the farmers of Stutsman or any other
county.
In December, 1887, he bought in Wis
consin $50 head of sheep. From this
flock he sheared in 1888 loo pounds of
wool; in 1899 $500 pounds, and in 1890
over $500 pounds. The wool clip for
1858 and 1889 brought him 800, that
Of this year is estimated to be worth
$3.50, making a total of 81, $50 realized
from the wool clip. In addition he has
sold 105 head and slaughtered for his
own use 25 head. The above shows how
remunerative his original investment of
1925 has become He has sold wool and
sheep from the original flock and in
crease which brought him in nearly
$4,000 in less than three years But this
does not tell all Of the story. His origi-
nal flock Ct $50 has now increased to 314
sheep and 110 lambs.
In regard to the expense of keeping
sheep Mr.. Hohomb says: They practi.
cally cost me nothing. My boy and dog
lid the herding and | raised my own
I
thrive on this. IN the winter I feed
little millet and barley. Sheep do not
waste their feed like a horse, which has
to have his oat bag tied on his head.
One COW will eat as much a seven sheep
and require as much care as twenty.
Mr.. Uolcomb is Of the opinion that
twenty-five acres of wheat require more
work than his whole flock Of sheep, and
said his four head Of horses and two cows
made him more trouble last winter than
the sheep. The cost Of shealing is insig-
nificant. William Walker, who has
sheared all over this county, clipped his
flock at eight cents per head. lie
sheared thirty-four head day and made
good wages at that price In 1883 Mr..
Holcomb received sixteen cents per
pound; in 1889, eighteen cents.
Mr.. Griffin reports Mr.. IIolcomb as
follows: When / came to Dakota
thought the money was in farming,
now have a half section under cultiva-
ton and n quarter section Of pasture
land. AT present am 80 strongly of the
opinion that the money Is in he pasture

MARKETlNG HONEY IN THE COMB.

single COMB BONeS or sections demanded
in City Markets.
Honey in the comb is q fancy article
a luxury for which the consumer will
pay good price only when presented in
neat and attractive form. 1t is essential
to the producer that fair price be OBJ
tanned, for comb honey costs him more
than does the extracted article, Accord
ing to estimates made by apiarists of ex-
perience, it costa all the way from five
to eight cents per pound to produce ex.
tracted honey, and from about seven to
thirteen cents to produce honey in the
comb. Messrs. Newman, Cook Root,
DOolittle in fact every beekeeper of
prominence lay great stress on the i'm.
portance of grading the honey, present.
ing it in attractive packages of conven.
lent size and labelling it with the kind OF
bloom which produced it and the pro.

g. NJ. Doolittle says: Comb honey in
boxes ought to be taken from the hive as
soon after it is finished as possible If
allowed to stay in the hive for weeks
after it has been sealed over, permitting
the bees to give it dirty yellow color,
il will not obtain the highest market
price" There will be cells next to the
box that are partly filled with honey. but
not sealed over and when taken from
the hive if the box Is turned sidewise. the
honey being thin, will run out. Thomas

if we keep our honey in good condition

The market demands comb honey in
single comb boxes or sections. These are
cheap, and with their use one gets honey
in attractive form. There are two sizes
of sections that have become everywhere

take a herd of sheep or cattle ont to the
pasture, guard it ali day, and bring it
home safe at nightfall Mr.. Crozier
tells lis that one Of his old collies was
accustomed. week after week every
evening, TO go to the sheep pasture, half
a mile away, and bring the flock home
at ) o'clock, never varying from this
time fifteen minutes. The same dog
kept a eve and her lamb apart in five
acre lot from morning till night, with
out injury to either.
The cOllie's tail droops in all cases be-
low the line Of his back and is long and
bushy. There are two breeds, the rough
haired and smooth haired The rough
haired collie is sometimes fox colored.
All Of the collies have tho extra claw on
the hind leg. The rough haired is the
family especially favored by cattle breed
ers. This Is the kind shown IN our illus
tration An unframed collie pup can be
bought for about $40. but the full grown,
trained dogs are worth from $50 to 500.
These dogs are fond of children and Of
cattle. In driving herd OF COWS they
do not attack them bodily, but merely
nip their heels, and jump away before
they are kicked. Ia taking care OF sheep
