ABOUT SWINE.

How Ions IL o Brood Sow PfoAta-
blet
A swine breeder of experience writes
thus to one of our exchanges about the
age at which brood sows cease to be
profitable:
ssThe first litter, as a rule, Is not 90
valuable az the following. The second
ond, third and fourth IRE generally
reckoned the most profitable, but l
have known sows to have eight or ten
litters Of good pigs.
"While a SOW brings q good litter In
number, suckles them we'll and they
are fairly level in size, that sow is a
money-getter, and a man is foolish to
sell her and replace her with one he
knows nothing about. But immedi-
ately after a SOW brings small, unlev-
el filters, and seems In any way deteri-
Grating as a breeder, she should be
fattened. Some sows begin to deteri-
crate after the second or third litter.
Some never are any good; the quicker
these are got rid OF the better. Some
think old sows more likely to have the
milk fever; In my opinion, 1t Is more
likely to happen to a SOW with her
seventh or eighth litter than to one
producing her second or third, IL care
be used. No doubt a four or ive-year'
old SOW, II made into bacon, is a bit
hard; but as they make up in the open
market as much as n who has suck
led n litter only, this is no obstacle
to keeping them on while they bring
up improbable %litters."

Shall We Keep sheeps

The question whether we shall keep
sheep or not is being discussed III
Eastern agricultural papers, and for
the most part the answers are in the
Affirmative. 1t is true that sheep hus.
bandry is not as profitable as 1t once
was. but 1t seems to be quite as prof
liable as any other department of
farming at present, and there Is. In its
appropriateness, little or no excuse fo-
abandoning 1t. There are some sheep
men who have never been considered
as sheep-brceders, hut rather as sheep
spectators. They have many hun.
dreds Of sheep today. but next week
are out of the business. The scalper
will scalp whenever the condition ap-
pears to he favorable for 1t. Breed
ers, in dealing with item, have to be
careful In order to escape with their
scalps. Present conditions are not as
encouraging as we would be glad to
see them, but supply and demand
change as fast or faster and much
oftener than business men can change
their business. If sheep owners would
sell now they would certainly have to
do 1t ut a sacrifice. and this would not
pny. After they had disposed Of the
hocks and a revival came they would
have to buy at higher prices than they
received for the sheep sold. and this
would not pay. When people cease to
eat mutton, cease to wear clothes and
grow coarse weeds and grain, it will
then be time to quit the sheep bust
ness. Sheep are good for fertilizing
poor farms. They look well in the
fields. They are good grazers, good
weeders, and a be made profitable
In the right hands. Why not keep
sheep?-Homestead.

The Breeding Turkeys.

New blood shows more improvement
with turkeys than with any other kind
Of poultry. The best foundation Is the
common flocks. Discard all the males
and procure a gobbler of some pure
breed and the next year let the 6 bbler
be procured from some flock different
from the first. A sure plan is to use
q gobbler Of one breed the first year
and one of a different breed the next.
AS to which is the best breed Of tur-
keys, we doubt if any breed can be
said to excel the others. The bronze
turkey is the largest, but the point to
observe is to secure hardness and
vigor, without regard to size, and this
must be done by selecting the best
hens and procuring a vigorous male
each year.
