TINT they will become moro and more

Government has reaped rich har-

General, expected that collectors

FARM AND GARDEN.
Sheep.

sheep.
A good sheep is one Of the farm
er's best servants.
Sheep thrive better with q fre.
quent change Of pasturage.
Properly managed, the sheep is
wonderful enricher of the soil.
Glover and sheep arc hard to beat
In building up . run down farm.
With breeding sheep consider the
size, bone, constitution and quality.
Sheep are efficient aids In max.
Ing clean pastures by keeping down
many kinds Of weeds.
II Intended to breed and raise
lambs for market be sure to com.
mence in good season.
The first step towards the i'm
provement Of the sheep IL to pur-
chase and use pure bred rams.
In majority Of cases the failure
to make sheep pay can be traced
to . failure to give proper sare. q
One Of the advantages in the
growing OF early lambs for market
is the short time required to make
a profit. y.
With good management, wool
alone o',lambs alone will pay for
the keep Of the sheep, leaving the
other for profit.
While sheep pay better than any
other class Of stock on poor land, II
we'll managed they will also pay ns
on good smoothe land.
A sheep that is full of good sweet
food and otherwise comfortable will
grow good wool and lay on flesh
every hour In the year.
One of the most serious objections
to the usingof cross bred male is
that It cannot be depended upon to
produce uniform offspring.
Sheep when on pasturage scatter
their manure much more evenly
than any other class Of stock and II
is of much more value to the land.
While it is possible to compel
sheep to go without water and still
live, they will do much better II
they can have access to all they
can use.
One Of the best crosses for mutton
with the common native sheep is
use Southdown ram, aud the bet
ter the ewes the better the lambs
will be.
The eve lambs will keep the
number good and the best should
always be selected out. Wetherf
ahould rarely be kept beyond two
and half years.
When left to themselves sheer
will retire at night to the most ele
waited part Of the field and 1t is this
fact that makes them valuable te
build up poor land.
Wool is q product from feeding
Just the same as fat or flesh and the
flock should be fed and managed
with view to wool growth, and
that Of fine quality.
In nearly every case tho ram
should be changed every ten years
and fresh blood be Infused into the
flock, always making sure that the
ram'is we'll matured and In Q good
thrifty condition.
Sheep are docile, easily handled
will live on q greater diversity ol
food, will thrive on pastures earlier
In the spring or later In the fall and
require less grain than any othe,
class OF farm stock.
With . little care in selecting ou,
the best ewes they can always bs
rolled upon to keep the number
good, and the wethers may be
readily Il tened and marketed
when reasonably well matured.

Westminster Church.

Rev. Mr.. Mott preached at the West
minister Church yesterday morning a SER
mon appropriate to the occasion, it being
Communion Sunday, and the Sunday be-
fore the annual offering OF the church for
the support of the American Unitarian
rociety. He took as his subject "The
Unitarian Christianity as Power for
Good in the Social Difficulties of the
Times" The sermon dealt with the great
material prosperity that has come TO this
country during the last 20 years, and of
the increasing responsibilities that rest
upon those successful in winning worldly
goods. And growing out of this
prosperity and side by side with
1t is also the great ehasm that exists be-
tween the masses of workingmen and the
wealthy. The Unitarian Christianity
presents a religion both for the head and
the heart, and therefore is best fitted to
meet these difficulties, TO smooth the way
TO complete and harmonious working OF
capital and labor. IL can do great good
in pointing out TO the prosperous the best
means OF assisting others to live rightly,
and by so doing TO live best themselves.
The unusually large congregation APP
prcciated the beautiful musical selections
rendered by the choir, especially the quar-
tette "The Lord Is My Shepherd" by
Koschat, i'm which the aria is carried by
the contralto voice.
I'm the evening the great aria of Bach,
arranged by Gounod for soprano and
violin obligato, "rhe Ave Maria" was
rendered by Miss White. The violin obli-
cato was delicateIy played by Miss Re-
bccca Thurston. Mr.. Briggs also sang
"The Sorrows of Death from the Hymns
of Praise. Both selections were sung i'm
the ususl artistic style and in n manner
quite up TO the high standard OF work
that Mr.. Tingiey Is demanding OF his
ehoir.

From an Authority on Books.

Said a wcll-known book lover and au-
thority on art works: have seen eight
or 10 different Worlds Fair books and
the News Magic City Is the hand
soonest, most accurate and with the best
selection OF views OF any OF them. Take
one little point for instance. Most of the
publications print photograph
OF the Fine Arts Building with the
statue of Victory on top. The statue OF
Victory was in the original model, but 1t
was never put on the actual building. That
shows that the photographs were not taken
from the building a. ilnaliy completed.
Other books show staging about some OF
the buildings, demonstrating that the pic
lures were taken before the completion
OF the buildings. The pictures In
the Magic City are absolutely correct,
just as the buildings actually were built
and taken at time and from a point OF
view that makes them most picturesque
and effective"
