SHEEP AND WOOL.

N. W, Agriculturist:-H all lambs are
grown to be put on the market in summer
where is the lamb for the winter market
to come from i?
Sheep desire and are benefited by fresh
fields and new pastures and should not be
kept long in the same field nor pasture in
large iocks.
There is a drawback in the use OF bells
on sheep by reason of greater excitability.
A restless flock will run of more fat
than the loss OF ten sheep would amount
to.
Do not be in hurry to have your sheep
care for themselves in the fields, bui
keep mp little winter feeding and give
them ab undant tshelter--especially at night
until the weather gets warm and the grass
gets well started.
The United States sheep company
organized through the efforts Of Mr.. E.
Ashley Mears. of Fargo. has sold over a.
600 sheep in North Dokota since last fall.
Mr.. Mears thinks 100. 900 could be disposed
OF il they had them.
"Sheep can restore our farms TO their
former fertility, and give us stock from
which we can obtain four cash crops each
year. wool. early lambs, fat mutton and
strong fertilizer" So said Master Bowen
to The Connecticut State Grange.
Beginners with sheen sheuld ''hasten
slowly" about the business. A few at
first are safer and more profitable than a
large flock that may get disease among
them and die, dwindle and finally disgust
the cwner and his neighbors with shep-
herding. Daily. almost hourly, care is
a requisite that the beginner may learn
from observation.

which is said to be the bulward Of the re-

last year upon which to build. All the

way as to make their services of increas.
ed value to the patrons, The new lines OF
work begun last year have been continu-
ed, and such others started as the needs
Of the schools demanded and opportunity
has afforded for their adoption. BY extra
work the teachers have been able to con-
unue those branches which are an induce.
ment to the less favored pupils from the
country districts to attend our schools.
In this way. though the population Of
TOW n has been steadily decreasing, the
full attendance of last year has been main
tanned. No better evidence than this OF
the quality Of work done In our schools
needs to be given. At the present time
our schools are more thoroughly graded.
the township is receiving more for its

are being taught, larger classes In those
classes have been formed, and more solid
benefits are being derived from our schools
