FARMs RS GETTING ON TOP.

Calamity shouters don'5 like the
epirit of sturdy hopetulnees that per
vades intelligent farming communities
One Of the solid bzsas for this hope is
found in the number of young men and
women who are being yearly graduated
at our agricultural and industrial col
leges. These people are being educated
toward, not away from, the farm and
the soil. More such students were
graduated during this past Month than
ever before. The demand is becoming
irresistible for such reform In our pub
lie school system that its tendencies
will be to dignity the farm and the
factory, instead Of leading our youth

YOUR MARKET ROADS

While the movement for the con
struction and maintenance of a perma
nent system of improved public high
ways is attaining a strength and popu
larity truly encouraging, some time will
necessarily elapse before every point in
the country is reached and benefited
Farmers will fad many rough places

In dry weather clouds of dust. Now
little effort put forth by the farmers
will secure highly satisfactory results
to themselves without great cost
call their attention to the fact that
straw is a great factor in good roads
1t makes a road that is not muddy in
wet weather. Do not burn old hay or
straw Of any kind. If there is q miry
or dusty place on the road, cover it
with straw. The value of straw in this
direction wes tested during the Han
cock county fair, IN Carthage, III sew
eraI years ago.
The weather had been very dry and
by the middle of the week the roads
leading to the fair grounds had become
nearly hub deep in dust, no amount of
sprinkling seeming to have any effect
Finally as a last resort q number of
loads Of straw were scattered along the
principal highways to the fair grounds
and weter spripkler5 kept going all
night. To the surprise ard qualification
of the good people of that city the plan
proved q fine success and the dust was
kept laid" during the remaining days
Of the fair without diff :ulty. Now
comes the interesting part of the etOry.
During the various muddy spells that
have occurred since the plan was util
lied, it was found that the highways
thus ''strawed" were alway in the best
condition.
Some wise farmers down IN the
Southern part cf Hancock county,
taking note Of this, have spread straw
over several hundred yards of very
bad roadway in their vicinity, and it is
now stated that this piece Of road is to-
day the only good road in that part of
the county.

WHAT SHEEP EAT.

Sheep are fond of a gre8t many
things aud will eat almC any kind Of
vegetation. provided it be clean and
free from filth. They will eat any kind
of grain, all Of the grasses and most of
the weeds. What they particularly
desire is plenty Of what they have. If
it be grass they will eat. more Of it in
proportion TO their weight than will
either the OK or horse. The sheep
usually has a good appetite and will
find something to fi5 it if it is within
reach and with a sharp appetite will
will get away with abuut four per cent.
of it's live weight daily, although the
larger sheep, such as the L;ncOlne and
Cotswolds, will hardly reach this per
centage.
The M9rino behaves With it's food very
much as the Jersey COW does, while the
mutton breeds fall into the plan Of the
ShorGhorn. In feeding grain to sheep
it is safe to give them about one per
cent Of their live weight per day, and
this may be increased when fatten-
ing ration is wanted. Sheep will not
eat flesh or slcps although one will oc
casionally drink milk. They are ford
of fodder and eneilage, and peas and
beans are great favorites wish them.
Vetches and mustard are also eaten
g1eedily. Oats a staple food for the
sheep, and cookie burs and sand burs
will be eaten when tbs Re is nothing
else. They do not like the t. p5 Of yel-
low deck, burdock or dog fennel, but
dandeIions are eaten freely, as well as
foxtel, chicken grass, barnyard grass
and yarrow, and other similar enemies
to fields and pastures.
There are a good many focks OF
sheep that would eat more than they
do if they had a chance. Dry air is a
fine thing for sheep, and while they
cannot subsist on it alone for any
length of time, when it is given in con-
nection with suitable rations, it per
forms an important p3r5 in the man
agement of sheep.
