sheep which have been conducted boil

regards the following points estab

The most rapid bodily development
of the lamb is made during the first
two months Of its life.
OF late years the most profitable
branch of sheep husbandry has beer
the production of early lambs for mar

Lambs taken from their dams at ten
DAYS old made rapid gains on cows
milk. Rating whole milk at sixty
cents per 100 pounds, the gain cost 81
cents per pound. Skim milk fed in
combination with crushed oats and
green clover produced an average gain
of half a pound per day at cost OF q
cents per pound.
Ewes which breed earliest are gem
orally the heaviest mixers and pro-
duce the finest early lambs.
It pays to feed grain to lambs from
their birth, if they are intended for
early market. Besides yielding sixty
cents more profit per head on mutton,
the grain fed lambs sheared two
pounds more wool, each, at weaving
time. than those which had no grain,
and the wool was of higher grade.
II does not pay to feed grain to
sucking ewes running on good pas
ture. The lambs OF such ewes were
no better than those Of ewes having
no Grain, But in all cases where the
rrain was fed to the lamb instead OF
to its mother, the profit was marked.
In Canada and the northern United
States rape is a profitable sheep iced.
One acre of rape will pasture twelve
lambs two and one-half months.

an extent as to retard gains IS erro'

RESTORING SOIL FERTILITY.

restoring fertility to the farm land
Is OF the greatest Importance all over
southern Illinois, writes William
Dyke, of Illinois. / have learned
that land here runs together like
mortar, after rainfall, forming crust
which allows subsequent rainfall to
run off instead Of soaking into the
subsoii. Years ago, when surface
soils were full OF decayed leaves and
roots OF plants and grasses, this crust
did not form SO readily and evapor-
alton was not 50 rapid. Hence, the

the original condition by blowing I'M

substitute for the leaves and roots
which have disappeared by the con-
tinued cultivation during the last
thirty or forty years.
| would recommend for this pur-
pose the cOwpea, sown with q wheat
drill set at bushels per acre, all the
epouts being open. If seeded very
early, every other one may be closed.
In the fall, when the peas are ripe,
the vines should be plowed under and
the field seeded to rye, to hold the
nitrogen which has been gathered by
the peas. In spring, rye may be pas
tured some if the ground is not too
wet, and then turned under in time
for planting n crop of corn
Farm lands suffer loss of fertility by
being left bare during fall and winter
and should always be covered with
growing crops, if possible. When the
surface layers have again become filled
with humus or declyed vegetable mat
ter, there will be little trouble in
securing a catch of clover, and when
we can feel sure of a stand of clover
after seeding, almost any crop which
has heretofore been profitable in this
section can be grown. Chemists tell

To get clean Strawberries use cut
straw or salt hay under the vines,
which prevents the sand or dirt from
adhering to the fruit and also protects
against loss Of moisture.
Linseed meal is excellent for poul-
try, containing the nitrogen which is
OF benefit to them. A spoonful once
week is not out of proportion, and it
will serve as tonic to the bowels, as
well as food. 1t is not intended as q
daily food.
A consensus of opinion among
poultry keepers is that buckwheat is
an excellent food for fowls. Some
ascribe their profit to its use, chiefly.
OF course, this means that all the
other conditions of care and food are
properly supplied.
Bone, shells and feather contain and
demand phosphates, therefore lime
should be factor in feeding. To this
end broken oyster shell is valuable
aud easily got, usually. Elements in.
strumental in the growth of bone are
more needful at times than food.

The Southdown sheep is not as large
as the Oxford or Shropshire, but it

One thing in its favor also is its hardi-

change for the better will be noticed

The most of the work required with

The old-time idea that the slightest

Archery in Crete,

The Cretans are said to have been

they having learned the art from
Apollo. Three of England's Kings
and two royal Princes were killed by

from the crossbows OF the Norman
soldiers. William Rufus was killed
by an arrow shot at deer, and Rich.

land, was finally slain by an arrow.
