SHEEP MANURE.
Its Value on the Farm-Bcst Methods OI
Handling.


Handling.
The droppings of sheep form the bost
manure made on the average farm. In
well-littered barns both the liquid and
solid droppings are saved, which is not
possible In the well-ventilated floors
found in most COW and horse stables.
The droppings of swine may have great
er chemical value, but they are allowed
to go to waste. There is no other por-
tion of our corn crop that returns SO
small a percentage of its manurial value
to the tillable land as that fed to hogs.
The sheep barns should be thoroughly
cleaned before the winter season be-
gins; then start the winters work of
saving the manure by hauling heavy
layer of bedding. This will not oLlfy
save and absorb the droppings from the
beginning of the season, but give good
stratum of straw next the floor which
is quite an advantage when you come to
remove the manure. Clover chaff makes
excellent bedding, as it is fine and has
wonderful absorbing powers. 1t is best
to re-bed the sheep frequently. 1t gives
greater bulk to the manure, which, con-
trary to the general rule, l believe to be
benefit in this instance. If these
matters have received careful attention
the sheds will be ready for cleaning
about the first week in February. l
know men who are very successful
with sheep who clean the barns but
once year. From the constant tramp.
ing the manure becomes almost as hard
as so much wood. In the wet days of
harvest this is dug up and thrown in
long ridges under the barns. 1t soon
heats and moulders down until it can
be scattered on the wheat ground tho
following August.
tried this plan one year, but the
strong smell of ammonia that pervaded
the sheep barns when the manure be-
gan to heat soon convinced me that /
was losing a valuable part of the fer
tilizer. After giving the question some
study, and trying several other plans, 1
adopted the practice of placing the
to be plowed for corn. 1t is hauled on
the sod at the beginning of our rotation
of corn, oats, wheat and clover, and it's
effect is noticeable throughout the
whole series. The corn is our most
valuable crop, and coming first, it re-
ceives the greatest benefit from the
manure.
The only objection I find to this
method is that heavy dashing rains,
when the ground is frozen, will wash
away a part of the strength of the
manure. 1 obviate this difficulty in
great part by hauling the first of the
manure to the upper side OF the field,
the lower ground being covered late in
spring before the blowing begins. In
this way, think very little of the sub
stance of the manure leaves the fields.

posed, the counts in the vicinity of
Manhattan in 1850 showing a loss of
eleven and one-third per cent. The
financial loss from this source to the
people of the State is perhaps over a
million dollars annually. In ordinary
cases the disease can be entirely pre-
vented by soaking the seed fifteen min
utes in water heated to one hundred
and thirty-two degrees F. The other
fungicides used, when decreasing the
amount of smut at the same
time also interfered with the ger
mination, and reduced the vigor of the
plants Seeds from clean fields (if the
adjoining fields we're not smutty) will
produce crop of oats free from smut.
The natural enemies, both vegetable
and animal, are in this case of little
practical importance, since the seed can
be both easily and effectively treated.
Sinking smut, to be distinguished
from the black smut (but like it pre-
ventable), and especially injurious to
wheat in extensive portions of the State
the present year, is also due to minute
vegetable parasite belonging to the
group of Fung.-N. Y. World.

THE AYRSHIRE.
Some Points of Excellence in This Breed
of Cattle.

Some Points of Excellence in This Breed
of Cattle.
The Ayrshire was considered good
for beef making as we'll as deep milk
ers. In this country they seem to have
ply factories for cheese making. Their
milking capacity is great, as class, and
in the milk classes have run the Hol-
stein closer in contest for milk than
any thing else, the Shorthorn so sell
dom putting in an appearance. We
have noticed that many animals of this
breed have been hard handlers, but of
recent years they seem to be coming
back to a more flexible hide. This
should be encouraged in the breeding.
The selection of the sire should be
made with the greatest care. The in
dication for milk getter should be
well shown in the animal
At the same time bear in mind that a
robust and healthy animal is essential
for the purpose of breeding dairy COWS,
for much depends on the sire for this
purpose. Bairymen who supply the
people of cities with milk should see
UAuo uhC4A SdbOiO dLC Y,
and If the patrons are satisfied that such
is the case, the call for milk will be in
creased.
The Ayrshire will make fine quality
of beef, and the COWS, if healthy and
thrifty, will fatten readily when their
milking days are ended If we consider
this breed as general purpose class, it
can not be allowed as in comparison
with the Shorthorn and Red Polls, as
their milking character far exceeds
their capacity for profitable beef-mak-
ing. We will not claim the Ayrshire as
strictly breed for both purposes,
though some claim them to be, but their
business is favorable for making them
such, Let breeders keep up their abun-
dant milk supply that they may be able
to compete favorably with their rivals,
the Holsteins.- Farmer.

MlGTACHE SOUVENIRS.
foung Ladies Who Collect Hairs IRON
Young Mems Upper Lips.


Young Mems Upper Lips.
The girls have a new fad. 1t would
be extremely difficult to guess what IL
is, for it is destined to cause young men
with handsome mustaches no end OF
trouble before it runs it's course.
The novelty seems to have originated
with the young ladies of Manchester
N. H., and consists of collecting hair
from the hirsute adornment of young
mems upper lips as token of remem'
brance, but it is feared that it is really
collection of mustache hairs properly
labeled and classified by young ladies
that they may show to their lady friends,
and by the display of the favors received
at the hands Of many gentlemen ac-
quaintances create jealousy in the
minds Tor hearts) of their less fortunate
sisters.
All the available young men are
solicited to part with just one single
hair from their upper lip to swell the
collection, and it is indeed a hard
hearted swain who will refuse a pretty
girl this favor. The hairs are stuck on
a large card with white wafer, on
which are placed the initials of the
donor.
1t can be readily seen that very in
teresting collection can thus be made.
The young lady sits with her conf
Dental female friend, and, instead of
going over a photograph album. ei-
planning each picture, takes the cad
with the collection of hairs from tle
manly faces and tells how, when. ali
where each separate one was obtained
and all about the donor. Whether b
not in the sweet ecstatic bliss accom-
panying stolen kiss such particular
hair did not first touch her lips, and
sent through her whole being thrill
which, even then, it was delightful tc
remember. This latest fad is much
preferable to collecting locks of hair,
and then, hair collecting is so common
an idea. The girls want something
later, and this is the result.
1t is said, however, that there are a
number of the Manchester boys who are
at present clean shaven, because their
fair friends have made such demands
upon them that their whiskers had be-
come so sadly thinned they were Obliged
to grow another crop, but others say
that the shaving was done to save what
there was left. At any rate, the collec-
tion of mustache hairs just now is all
the rage there, and it will probably last
until something else is hatched by a
fertile brain to take it's place among the
fads of the nineteenth century.-Cor.

FARM HINTS.

In breeding ducks, do not allow more
than one drake TO every fou: ducks;
this is the best proportion to insure fer
tile eggs.
The pea as a pasture crop for sheep
has never received the attention that it
deserves. A better green food for
sheep does not grow.
EARLY in the spring a top-dressing of
one hundred pounds of nitrate of soda
per acre on, wheat will make it grow
rapidly and yield better grain
The garden, the truck patch and the
orchard should furnish the farmer with
fully one-half of his living, if proper
care is taken with each to secure the
best products in good season.
Do NOT disturb the onions or onion
sets if they are frozen. The handling
Of them when they are in frozen con-
dition is detrimental. Allow them to
gradually thaw and keep them where
they were originally stored.
THE men who make the most money
from farming are not the ones who work
the hardest or the most hours, but those
who manage with the greatest wisdom.
EVERY farmer ought to grow all the
feed for his. stock, the grain included.
He thereby saves transportation and
middlemen's profits, and knows precise
" what be Is feeding.

The report in question is briefly sum-

Oat smut is caused by a minute para,
site plant called UstiIago segetum.
The parasite is carried with the seed

produce smutted crop. 1t is doubtful
whether the disease is ever occasioned
by the use of manure which contains
