Small or Large Flocks.

The Practical Farmer says: In gen
eral way it may be said with considerable
truthfrlness that it is more expensive to
keep small flock than a large one, other
things oeing equal. Better care, as a rule
is given to small flocks, because the farmer
can look after each individual sheep; but
the profits per head are likewise proportion
ately different. The number that die or do
not properly develop, owing to crowding
and other causes, in large flock. is not al
ways Included in the prof and loss of sheep
on a large ranch. The whole flock could
have been reduced to the number of those
which died or failed to improve during the
year, and the profits would have been as
large. The food and care given to the
Improbable ones were sheer loss AS the
flock is reduced in size the number of poor
sheep is also reduced, until the lowest
minimum possible is reached. This is
reached on the small farm, where only a
limited number of sheep are kept. Few if
any need to die here from cold, lack of food
or shelter, and none need fail to increase in
weight and quality fer lack of attention.
The Southdowns show very markedly the
effects of god or bad treatment, and for
this eason also they are specially good for
all farms, where each individual member OF
the flock can be looked after to a reasonable
extent.

Balky Horses.

The American Stockmdn. being asked for
advice in regard 20 bslky horses, replies as
follows:
There are numerous methods, some of
them good and some useless, and all to fail
at times. The remedy that we have ap-
piled has worked better with US than any,
thing we have ever attempted. We approach
the horses head quietly, and gently takin e
him by the nose, give it a sharp twist 1t
has often worked first rate with US. Prof.
Gleason says that balkiness is the hardest of
equine vices TO cure. 1t seems inherent in
some obstinate natures, and if allowed to be
practiced from time to time until the brute
becomes DID, will cost as much work, time
and trouble to eradicate as the animal is
worth. The most practical step to be taken
with an old balky horse is to-trade him off
to somebody else. When you cannot do
that there are various things to be tried on
him-outside of real cruelty-some one of
which may convince him that baking is in
judicious and likely TO bring unpleasant
consequences upon himself. Very often a
horse baking when in double team can be
started readily by putting a slip moose rope
around the loins and making it fast to the
collar of the true horse. Generally, indeed,
that pressure will start him. Sometimes it
is very effective to stand before him and
lash his fore legs sharply with blacksnake
whip, not angrily or very severely, but per-
sistenty. fer half an hour if necessary,
though fifteen minutes are generally
enough. until he makes up his mind there is
no comfort in staying there. in extreme
cases it is not bad idea to put slip noosed
rope about his neck, hitch a team to it, and
start them. When he finds that his head
is going he is apt to hasten his body along
with it. Not infrequently one dose of that
treatment will give him a horror of baking
forever after. If you are working a balk-
ing horse in team, and cannot get rid of
him, it would be better to kill him, than let
him go on baking, for example will be GER
tain to eventually demoralize the true
horse, and you will have a balky team on
your hands. So YOU must, if you keep him,
break him of baking. Still, we would not
advise the western trick of building straw
fire under him. Sometimes a handful of
road dirt thrown in balky horses mouth
or a bunch of roughly broken twigs under
his tail, will start him simply by giving him
something else to think of than the main
tenance OF his determined obstlnacy, but
such measures are likely to have only tenn
porary effect.

Farm Notes.

There is nothing so effective for Destroy
ing insects as buhach, dalmatian, or any
kind of fresh insect powder, though it is
somew at expensive compared with other
insecticides. 1t is a certain remedy for the
attacks of the cabbage butterfly, and de-
stroys rosebugs if applied frequently. As
it is now being grown extensively in Cali
fornia, it will no doubt be cheaper in few
years.
Turnins and choice mutton are joint arti-
Giles on English farms. No English farmer
would attempt to raise sheep without tur-
nips as one Of his crops. 1t is possible that
the growing of more turnips il this country
may be an advantage to those who keep
sheep. Every farmer should give turnlps
and sheep trial where it can be done with
a prospect of profit.
If the stubble field be plowed and turned
seed sown broadcast thereon, not only will
the weeds be destroyed but much Of the
seed will produce turnips, upon which the
sheep may be allowed to run later or.
Turnips are claimed to be excellent
material for the soil if plowed i'll, or they
may be left in the ground ali winter for
sheep in some sections.
Fibrous roots, like leaves, perform their
functions for the season and die, says
Thomas Meehan, the eminent horticulturist
Such being the case the rapid growth of
rootlets should be encouraged by manuring
early and cultivahng in a manner so as to
keep the soil loose that the rootlets may
have greater opportunities.
WHICH WOULD IT BE-Goso-Just imagine
the case now, Puddle: IL you were in a burning
house with your wife and mother-in law, and
could save but one, which one would IL be-"
Puddle (having scratched his head, thought
fully)-Why, myself.

Saving the Nitrogen of the Soil.

The great object Of agriculture, says
Thos. D. Eaird in the Southern CaLltiuator,
Is to convert the nitrogen of our soil, or of
green crops turned under or of manure into
nitric acid, and this nitric acid converted
into profitable produce with as little loss as
possible
Nitrogen is the most costly ingredient in
plant food and, unfortunately, it is very
easily washed out Of the soil and lost. 1t
perhaps impossible to prevent entirely
all loss from teaching. There are many
ways to lessen the loss of nitric acid. The
farmer IN turning under a green crop of
cover has not only supplied the soil with
abundance OF nitrogen through the tops
auu roots, but the heavy shade of the
C cer has impaired to the soil a considera-
VIC quantity. Now, if this is left to die

An Artificial I an.

A sheepskin, tackled with the wool side
down on frame three inches in width, will
make a hen able to brood fifty young
chickens and keep them more comfor table
than the natural hen can. Cut an opening
in one side of the frame large enough for
the little chickens to pass in, and raise the
frame one inch from the ground on pieces
OF stick 30 as to admit air. With this ar
rangement the attenance of the old hea may
be dispened with after the first day, and she
may be at once separated from her chick
ems. Feed the young chickens on cracked
corn, slightly moistened, and they will not
be troubled with gapes. In early spring, or
when the weather is cool or in rainy weather
they should be housed in a box with a
glass top similar to the glass frames used by
gardeners

How he Made "Gilt-Edeed" Butter.

A Berkshire county, Massachusetts,
farmer writes the Scientific american how
he makes quick-selling and high-priced but
ter. 1t has common sense truths in it. He
says: my object has always been to make
the best butter-not the most profitable,
necessarily, but the best. Having this OBJ
ject in view, have been compelled to dis
card oil meal, and thus reduce the quantity
of my butter and the value of the manure.
have been obliged to take the cows out of
all basement cellars, and have consequently
received less butter for given amount Of
food. l have been forced, instead of drop
ping the manure into convenient cellar
below the cows, to give up tAis cellar and
wheel manure into a shed. | have been
obliged to discard deep setting, and to con-
tent myself with the open, shallow method
which is more expensive, and requires more
attention and returns less butter. ! have
been obliged to reject all feed except corn,
wheat, hay, beets and carrots. l have been
Obliged to give up using the milk of cows
that have calyed too recently or too re-
motely. l have for dozen years carefully
and faithfully tried to make good bntter-
as good as it could be made. This has al
ways been the first consideration profitable
ness has always been secondary. The result
has been for many years this butter has
brought a higher price than any butter in
the county Of Berkshire, where SO much
good butter is made, and it has taken the
first prize over the county. 1t has been in
such constant demand at 65 cents a pound
the year through, that when making 100
pounds week there have been untitled
orders for twenty-five to thirty pounds
more.n
