dairy herds Of large individual and

Agriculture.


One advantage with sheep is that
a much less amount of capital is re
quired to make start in the BUSH
ness, and farmer can make start
OF stock to help keep the pastures
clear, secure an increased amount OF
manure with sheep rather more
easily than with any other class OF
stock. With them he has three
sources of income--the increase, the
wool and the mutton. Either the
wool or the increase will pay the
cost Of keeping, provided OF course
that good management is given.
In making start with sheep or
with any other class of stock, 10 Is
always good economy to start with a
can be secured that the better plan
is to have small flock of good sheep
than a larger number of Indifferent
ones. OF course good breed is not
all that is necessary to secure profit
able results, but it Is the foundation
that with good management a profit
able herd may be built up Because
sheep will live and thrive on good
pasturagc through the growing
season is no reason for supposing
that they will not need any
care. While less care will be
needed in summer than at any other
season-and usually less is needed
with sheep than with almost any
other class of stock-yet what is
very impo'tan and should be given
in good season They need change
of pastures occasionally and will
always thrive better than when they
are kept in one place; then again,
there is always IA saving of pasturage
with all classes of stock if they can
be changed from one pasture TO an
other. The pastures should always
be provided with good shade as
protection against the hot sun of
summer. Water and salt must be
kept where they can help themselves.
This will be better than attempting
to supply at stated intervals. All
reasonable care should be taken to
keep thrifty and vigorous. Where
only a stated number is desired to be
kept, careful selection of the best
ewes should be made every season,
and in this way "a considerable inn
provement in the flock can readily be
made at comparatively low per
cent. With sheep the principal item
is to keep thrifty, AMI if this is Sc
cured there will usually be but little
difficulty in making sheep profitable.

Danger From Impure Ice.

The old notion that because ice is
clear and no dirt is visible, it
must therefore be pure and safe has
long since been dissipated. Even on
muddied water the freezing generally
releases the soil so that it is not i'm
prisoned in the crystals that form on
the surface. But merely muddied
water is the smallest part of the
danger Tho soil in water absorbs
and holds the more dangerous bac-
terra, aud thus it often happens that
water of transparent clearness may
contain the worst kind of impurities.
The only safe way is never to place
ice in water. or anything else that is
to be drank, but to pack it around
vessels containing what it is wished
to cool. Impure ice is especially
dangerous in milk, as the fat in CON
tains makes the best propagating
places for any injurious bacteria -

rri,, winners vs.. Common Cows.

A great many are asking why q
common COW that gives a mess of
milk equal to prize winner is not
as valuable for the dairy; and there
arc some reasons to show why she is
and others to show that she is not.
Individually, says John Gould, this
common COW may be most valuable
one for dairy, but with her life ends
the assurance that her descendants
will equal her. The dairy must pri-
marllv b. recruited from the calves
of these COWS, and dairymeu either
raise these heifers or purchase cows
from those who are not classed as
dairymen; men owning a few cows.

! potency comes IN, and the greater
number of good performers there is
in the dairy family, the more fixed
the tpye by mating of desirable ex-
cellencies, the greater the assurance
that the heifers will equal or excel
their mothers. The same laws that
govern the breeding Of fast horses
obtains in a corresponding degree in
the breeding OF dairy COWS. Milk in
q COW is akin to speed in horse-a
result OF uniting two strong lines Of
nerve energy, for it is the COW with
nerve and strong muscle that is the
great producer. Now and then
horses are found taat have no breed

yet been prolific of any considerable
