HERE AND THERE.

The best success in growing any
kind of crops is in concentration o,
work on small areas
One of the most common causes o,
hogs deterioriating is by too close in
breeding; change occasionally.
Generally, sowing grass or clover
seed on hard surface is more or less
waste of money, seed and time.
Plan the work so that the cultiva
tion of the corn-ields can be as com.
plete as possible before finishing up.
Let the growing pigs run with TIT
cattle, especially if they are fed grain.
They will save much that would other
wise go to waste.
"A machine shed should be built 81
as to be easily accessible, so that in
storing the machinery too much extra
work will not be necessary in taking
out or storing away.
Many good farmers find it the mos
profitable to break young team
three years old and keep until i've ant
then sell; raising good grade of draf
horses and selling as soon as sufficient
ly matured.
1t is not good plan to allow ma
chinery of any kind to stand out, ex
posed to the hot sun. A very littl
work will put it under shelter, and
will always be found work that will
pay.
Fall pigs can only be made profit
able by providing them with shelte
so comfortable that with careful feee
ing a steady gain can be secured a
through the winter. Pigs must not b
kept over ten months.
Mules can be broken and put

SHEEP FOR MARKET.

Handled.

There is Good Profit In Them if Properly
Handled.
I will give my experience with 1aS
tening sheep l have for some twelve
years fed either sheep or cattle, ana
find the most profit in feeding sheep.
Last winter we thought we would try
both cattle and sheep. So, November
20, we bought twelve head OF cattle Tor
three and half cents per pound, and
their weight was LOO pounds average.
And the 9th of December we bought l5'
sheep for the same money that we paid
for the cattle, and we fed them about
the same amount of feed till the
1st of March. We shipped the
sheep to Buffalo, and sold them, and
had 1922 profit for feed, and we fed the
cattle until the middle of April, when
they went off, and we had S27l for our
| feed on cattle So you see that we had
S51 more profit on the sheep than we
had on the cattle, and saved the feed
for six weeks, which was 125 bushels OF
corn and three tons of hay, and the corn
and hay was worth $50 more which we
can add to the profit on the sheep We
had very good gain on our cattle. Ihey
gained fifty pounds month per head
all winter. The gain was not so much
on the sheep. But they laid on fat and
the sap got out of them and they
brought a better price in mar
ket. 1t is not the number of pounds
that you put on that makes the
profit, It is the flesh that they are in
that makes them sell we'll in market.
think that poor sheep sells meaner in
market than any other stock that is
shipped to market You may ship an
