We are more convinced every day, says
the Southern Planter, that there is a
great future for sheep husbandry In the
south If only our farmers will take It up
and give it the attention which It de-
serves. For the past ten years the num-
Der Of sheep in the United States has
been constantly diminishing, until nov
we have 100000 less sheep in the country
than we had in 1880. In the whole of the
United States there are only 3s.OOO,OOO
sheep, whilst I'm England and Scotland to-
gether they have 100000 sheep. Vlr-
GINA, with an area Of As. 900 square miles
has only $4,000 sheep. England and
Scotland, with an area Of 5000 square
miles (oniy about twice as large, has 3,-
900, 600 sheep. Virginia has only nine sheep
to the square mile, whilst England and
Scotland have 1852 sheep to the square
mile. Great Britain Is a densely popula-
ted country, whilst Virginia is a sparsely
settled one The Argentine republic, a
sparsely settled country like Virginia, has
over 100000 sheep, and, In addition TO
wool, ships mutton to England In large
quantity and finds the business prohta-
bic one. The demand FOR mutton on me
American markets Is growing every day
and wool is steadily advancing In price
We have thousands or acres IN virginia
and the other southern states which are
admirably adapted for sheep pastures and
where the whole year round they could
find good grazing. and, with the addition
Of little corn fed In the winter, could pc

farm in the south which could not keep
a number OF sheep without the cost be-
ing felt. and whore the whole return
would be nearly clear profit. Why VIII
not southern farmers realize the impor-
lance OF going into this businessy Now
Is the time to do 80. There Is no question
IN our minds that sheep must advance m

will be In demand on the markets. NO an

This Is the season of the year when
many are thinking of either starting a
laying flock or hens or reinvigorating an
old. flock by the Introduction Of new blood,
says the Southern Planter. 1t Is a good
time to do this. as the spring Matched
chickens are now Of sufficient size and
so fully feathered as to show clearly what
kind Of hens they are likely to make,
and breeders are now anxious to sell be-
fore cold weather and the heavier require
ments of winter feeding come upon them.
If you have no hens, or only a few "old
Scrubs" which you have decided to kill
Off, then the question naturally first arises
what breed should be bought? IL the OBJ
ject is eggs and eggs alone, then you
cannot go wrong in buying Leghorns
either white or brown. With these you
win never be troubled with sitting hens
but you must make up your mind TO fence
your garden, not merely with four-foot
fence, but with one at least six feet high
II you intend to keep the hens out of It,
or you must have your hen house so far
away from the garden that they will sell
dom come near 1t. They are the most
active breed Of fowls and are ever on the
alert. AS a consequence OF this, II the
range is large, they win provide them
Selves QuIlHB al great DdiA VI INC yEoA
with very much of the food they require
and seldom become too fat TO lay. Their
close plumage and compact form also con-
duces to hardness and they seldom suf-
fer from cold. Their weak point is their
small size II wanted for the table. As egg
producers, however. they are probably
unequalled, and their eggs, though not
so large as some Of the other breeds, are
yet large enough to sell readily enough
on the market for a full price. If the OBJ
ject be eggs and broilers, then we would
say. buy Plymouth Rocks, Brahmas or
Wyandottes. These breeds are all large,
heavy ones. They are of a contented rest
full disposition and require only a very
low fence to confine them. They are good
layers and good sitters, but their sitting
propensities somewhat interfere with the
quantity Of eggs they will produce, but
this, OF course, Is compensated for If
chicken are wanted by the fact that any
OF these breeds you may have chickens
almost at any time OF the year, for we
have known them to sit in the fall Of the
same year they were Matched ana 10 have
chickens running with them al Christmas.
While hardy, they are not so little affected
BY cold as Leghorns, as their quiet dis
position leads them to neglect that exer-
else which wards Off the effects OF cold.
They should have warm quarters IN win
ter and they will then lay when most
other breeds are resting.
II you have already a flock Of good hens,
then all you need Is the introduction OF
new male blood. In making selection
Of rooster never buy anything but pure
bred bird OF whatever breed you fancy.
In this way. II you do not buy Of the
same breed as the hens, you win neyerthe-
less get good blood and not breed scrubs
but merely cross-brcd birds. Many OF
these cross-bred fowls are among the
best layers that can be kept. A cross be.

Eecding ChicIes ProperIy.

Many persons work as though all that
is necessary is to give the chicks as much
food as they can eat and keep them warm,
says the Poultry Journal. The result Is
that the chicks have bowel disease and
also become clogged. The difficulty at
the bottom of these troubles Is Indigestion,
and how to avoid Indigestion is the solu-
ton of the problem. 1t is necessary TO
impress upon the inexperienced that chicks
are like adult fowls and detest darkness
and inactivity. They require not only
pure air but exercise. IL fed all that
they will eat they will. like adults, have
no desire to work, and become subject
to Indigestion, because their condition Of
inactivity Is one which promotes all the
diseases that may arise from a wrong sys-
tenn of management, and any method
which brings good results with fowls may
be adopted for chicks. Brooder chicks are
subject to leg weakness, and they also
prefer a variety of food, because much of
that provided them Is not OF a suitable
kind. Exercise causes them to breathe
more fresh air, which invigorates them
and fortihes them to Withstand disease.
Exercise strengthens the muscles, pre-
vents leg weakness, promotes Digestion,
and gives them appetites. The question
is now can this exercise be induced duriu Z
seasons when the chicks must not be ex-
posed. 1t Is a very simple matter. Feed
the chicks only three times a day, remov~
ing all food that is uneaten at each meal.
Between meals scatter a tablespoonful of
millet seed in litter, so as to compel the
chicks to scratch for the seeds AS each
seed Is very small, and is considered a
delicacy by the chicks, they viii scramble
over each other to secure a share, and as
long as they have the litter in which to
work, they will endeavor to find one more
seed, the result being that when their
regular meal Is ready they win come up
with good appetites and eat until full,
going to sleep at nights to rest quietly
and come out in the morning eager for
| more.
