BETTER SHEEP OUTLOOK.
We Have Now More Vigorous Stock Thar
We Ever Had Before.

We Have Now More Vigorous Stock Than
We Ever Had Before.
The low prices of wool and the use
of snoddy, with the introduction of
large quantities of inferior wool from
Argentine and the British provinces,
have led the few sheep masters we have
left to turn their attention more to NUT
ton sheep than to those producing the
highest grades of wool. This tendency
to produce good mutton has led to the
selection of the best breeds for this
purpose, and to the more careful prep
aration of lambs and mutton sheep for
the market.
The care of the flock and the kind
of feed used have undergone great
improvement, and the result is that,
whilst wool growing has been unprofit-
able, we have greatly improved class
of shepherds; and fine fed lambs and
mutton have never had such sale in all
the markets throughout the country, al
at the present time.
Besides, flocks have been culled, and
only the best of each kind have been
retained.
In this regeneration Of the herds we
have to-day a more vigorous and healthy
stock of sheep in all the sheep raising
regions than ever before.
This will be great gain in the coming
reinstatement of the sheep and his wool
to their proper place among the home
products.
Nothing is all evil; in this case we
have derived benefits from our misfor-
tune. We will have better and health
Ter flocks, better mutton, and more
mutton eaters in the future than ever
before.
The wise farmer will try to prepare
for what must soon come. Select the
best breeds, prepare the best feed, and
be ready to take the best possible care
of your flocks. and your increase will
soon bring you your reward.-Farm

SUNFLOWER CULTURE.
1t Is Being Strongly Advocated As IN
Agricultural Industry.

Agricultural Industry.
The cultivation Of suntloWers is be-
ing advocated as an agricultural in
dustry. In support of this departure
in western farm crop enterprises 1t is
asserted that the better varieties OF
sunflowers yield gallon of oil to the
bushel of seed, and that an average
crop will produce from 10 to so bushels
of seed per acre. The oil is high-priced,
and sells ON an equality with the Oil OF
olives.
The wholesale price Of olive oil is
about one dollar per gallon, thus lndl-
eating a profit. in the SuntloWer crop
which would at once admit it into the
list of profitable crops for diversified
farm industry.
The Russian sunflower is one OF the
largest in stalk and seed head, and has
been recognized as great producer OF
seed with excellent oil properties. a
new variety, entirely white, is now a
rival of the Russian, and is SAID TO
produce a much milder and better
favored oil, owing to its deficiency IN
coloring matter in the outer covering
of the seeds.
The sunflower seed is recognized
valuable food for stock and poultry,
and when properly understood will he
in more common use on the farm for
this purpose. The wild sunf1ower OF
the western prairie country has Gre
ated prejudice against the name sun
flower" but Notwithstanding its per-
sistency in maintaining its place as
weed on the cultivated farms, 1T is by
no means an Objectionable Indication
to the quality and agricultural value
of the lands its occupies.-Dakota Field
