No Use for Him.

The dusky islanders sat in a ring,
listening with eager expectation to the
i. ord Chancellor as he read to their
monarch the latest communication from
the Foreign Mission Society.
"Since the mysterious disappearance
of our dear brother, Duppy," so ran the
letter, 1--WE are sending you one who
will be powerful worker in the field.
In him not only is the spirit willing,
but the flesh is strong"
A look of disappointment passed
around the circle.
Read that part again." said His
Majesty.
The Chancellor complied.
The king leaped up from the section
of pork-barrel which formed the i'm

"Such letter as that" he cried, as
he dashed his stove-pipe crown on the

Sheep Versus Other stock.


We venture the assertion, without
to the statement that no domestic ami
NAL will enrich land so much as sheep.
l once read of a test being made to see
how many varieties, out of a collection
of 600 kinds of grasses, the horse, the
COW, and the sheep would eat, and to
the best Of my recollection the follow
ing was the result q regret that have
not the report before mel: The COW
ate 46 varieties, the horse 80, and the
sheep over $50, showing that the sheep
CLEANS vastly more from the natural
field, to convert into soil fertilizer, than
any other ANIMAL and hence 1 say the
argument is in favor of the sheep. But
from immediate results, leaving out of
the calculation the effect on the land,
or on the boy, the future owner of the
land.
How many pounds Of beef, in the or
binary way, can be made from 100 acres
of land by grazing? II we say 100 acres
Will pasture 80 head of cattle, and they
will put on 400 pounds each, we have
gained $4,000 pounds, worth four cents,
we have $3.50. If we say the same land
will pasture so head, we must be con-
tent with about the same number OF
pounds gain, and even If more be the re-
suit the quality will be reduced, till
the profit will be no more than in fat
tening 80 head.
How much profit can be realized from
raising hogs on the same 100 acres for
a series Of years? AS I am not figuring
the expense of raising the feed, but
simply feeding it out, we will estimate
the amount of rent corn that an aver
age 100 acres Of Iowa land will produce.
and l propose to make a very liberal
estimate in favor of Mr.. Hog, As know
of his popularity. While 10 bushels to
the acre Is, without doubt, near the
figure that should be counted, we will
say the land earns Is bushels per acre.
a total of 1,500 bushels; and as 1t takes
Of pork, the 100 acres has provided feed
to make $1,000 pounds of pork, but in
reality 10000 pounds is neaIer the
amount, and at four cents per pound.
fully an average price, you have in the
one instance 5000 and in the other $500
profit. And now does sheep-raising
compare with raising cattle or hogs?
l call to mind gentleman who has
pastured $50 head Of sheep on the same
land for nearly score of years, and
at haying time in 1892, the said pasture
would have cut, he told me. ton Of
hay to the acre, aside from the pasture.
He told me, not long since. that he
fed per year less than 35 tons of hay to
this flock Of $50 head, and one ear of
corn per day to each sheep for $50 days,
making IL bushels to a sheep, and to
fatten any of those sheep the same
amount of corn if fed in one-third the
time or six weeks was sufficient to fit
them for market.-Farmers' Review.

Sound Breeding Animals.-The great
est drawback in the way of progress in
breeding and growing horses is the
stubbornness Of men who stand In
their own light and refuse to change
practices, oven when satisfied that gain
will follow. They cling to the old broken
down mares and persist In using the
cheapest stations, regardless of quail
ity. What mating will be likely to
insure is of minor consideration, so that
a colt is bred. 1t is for this reason that
some of the more progressive breeders
have withdrawn their stations from
public service and admit only selected
mares owned by men who are seeking
to grow and develop the best. If there
is a dollar for the owner Of a sound
brood mare, then he should seek to
avail himself of the most by the use OF
none but the best. -.

Stable Ulcers.

In the Western prairie states wood
Is perhaps the most extensively used
material for flooring stables for stock.
1t is largely used on account Of it's con-
venience and general adaptability,
though there is a growing feeling that
1t Is on the whole quite unsatisfactory.
The plank floor is short lived; it is
made water tight with difficulty, and
above all it is Objectionable for horses
For cattle and hogs the Same objec-
tions prevail to q considerable degree.
Cement floors are gaining in favor and
are quite acceptable though rather ex-
pensive. They should also be covered
with plank for horses. The cement
floors in the new station barn have
been in use over year now and have
given good satisfaction. When w0l1
bedded they are very satisfactory for
cattle, hogs and sheep. The station
floors were made by laying three
inches of concrete composed of five
parts of clean, sharp sand to one Of
Portland cement, well mixed and
packed well on foundation of sand
and gravel, and the surface was then
finished with a three-quarter inch COW
ering of cement and sand in proportion
of four of cement to seven of sand, and
troweled smooth and level except as
otherwise provided. These floors have
worn well even where horses wearing
shoes have walked on 1t. Such a floor
is cold in winter, however. unless used

are required for the echo. The .sTrumpeter's
