the Journal ought to know by this time
that very few votes were cast for Demo-

Render Them Comfortable Before EI.
IRENE Cold Sets In.
A farmer should never attempt to
winter more stock than he can furnish
with comfortable shelter. Many farm
ers have large farm buildings but they
soon get out of repair, a board off, a
door hanging by one hinge, or iealSy
roofs. Such buildings are not COM
Portable. The openings allow snow to
continually sift in, or give free and un.
interrupted access to drafts of cold air.
In such cases a pound of nails and q
few hours time in repairing often saves
ton of hay in one winter. A build
ing which is simply boarded up should
have the cracks battened and thus
made as tight and close as possible.
Use steel wire nails long enough to be
clinched. This takes n little longer
but the batten will then always re-
main close fitting. which means q
warmer room and stock in better con-
dition with less fodder. The building
should not be made SO close as to be
uncomfortable during the pleasant
days of spring, but there should be
free and thorough ventilation when
the higher temperature may require it.
Fodder may be cheap, but nails and
boards are cheaper, whereas feed is
gone in a single season, while build
ings are permanent investment.
Provide suitable racks and hangers to
feed the stock from, and do not feed
from the ground or snow bank. Keep
the different kinds of stock in sep
arate inelosure. Feed regularly, and
provide an adequate supply of fresh
water. American ACriculturist.

KEEP a FEW SHEEP.
They Pay Better Than Any other Class
of Farm Animals.

A writer who appreciates sheep, and
who succeeds in making good profit
on them, writes the Wisconsin Farmer,
land says; + wish to- impress upon my
brother farmers, through the columns
OF your valuable paper, the importance
of keeping at least a few sheep for
several reasons. One is that they are
such scavengers that they readily eat
the seed of the vilest weeds and they
are not like other farm stock, nothing
grows. after passing through them.
Anyone travelling through the, country
can tell at a glance the farms that have
a flock of sheep on them, by their neat
appearance; no rag weed. the scourge
of almost all our cultivated land, is
seen. | might go on and tell of other
bad, weeds, for their name is legion;
but the sheep will in every instance
annihilate them.
One other good reason is that they
pay better for the food consumed than
any other farm ANIMAL and | now
speak without fear of contradiction.
No kind of stock will pay such profits
on the cost as a flock of well-kept
sheep To illustrates Two years ago

for there was something about her

Another reason, the sheep farmer has
more time for recreation than the man
who follows dairying, for instance; no
matter what happens, rain or shine,
that milk must be delivered on schedule
time or there is rumpus. Another
reason is they are so docile and harm
less, requiring less fencing, and if per-
chance they should break into the corn
they are not such gluttons and will
not, like cattle, eat till they kill them
selves, as is often the case. Another
reason is that no stock if properly bed.
ded will make as much valuable ma
nure and everyone knows that manure
from sheep is of the best. l might GO
on and state other advantages, but
these will suffice. Don't understand
me that the sheep is everything and il
needs no care. There is nothing to be
made without close attention, and sheep
breeding and feeding are no exception
to the rule.

BRAClNG FENCE POSTS.

The Corner Post Should BE Planted at
Least Four Feet Deep.
Many wire fences have tall and large
corner posts with braces reaching to
their tops. When the wire of such a
fence is drawn taut, the tall corner post
will be lifted up on its steep braces.
This lifting process is sometimes ag-
gravated by wire stretched from the
bottom of the corner post to the top of
the nearest fence post. To keep such
a post in the ground it is often made of
. heavy log, or it is weighted down by
huge rocks which brighten young
