Sheep killing dogs should be ex-
terminated.
A most wholesome instance was
that of sheep owner who had sew
eral sheep killed, and being a good
shot declared he would shoot the
first dog he saw chasing sheep.
This proved to be his own, and he
did not stop until he killed five
worthless ours.
The eXcitable, nervous man is not
calculated to be successful with
sheep. If he is of that temperament
he should engage in some other call
ing.
There is said to be three hounds
to every sheep in the State of Vir-
ginia.
If you do not have anything else
good get a good ram. 1t will al
ways pay to use a good ram.
There is no use denying the fact
that blue grass and white clover
make the best sheep pasture.
Salt is good tonic, prevents in
digestion, and to a certain degree, is
a worm destroyer. Hence the
necessity of always having it where
sheep may have access to it.
The positive little fly is ushered in
with warm weather and will be
after the wether as well as other
sheep of the fold. Keep a close
watch for him. He is active.
The most distressing and forlOrr
appearing object on earth is a lamb
that has become fly blown while yet
alive, and it is safe to say that il
will not long remain alive if the
owner is not alive to his duty anC
destroy the flies at once.
A popular superstition among
flock masters is that sheep should
be sheared at a certain time of the
moon in order to start the growth Of
the next fleece. 1t is amazing how
widely this belief has spread. The
moon has no more effect upon tn,
growth of wool than upon the desti
ties of nations.
Better to sell an inferior ANNA
than to breed it, even if it must b,
sold at sacrifice. 1t is a good thin!
to grade up stock, but better thin!

ally, on time, and with good judy
ment, it is not very difficult mat
ter to keep the premises, the fowls,
and the chicks entirely free from
vermin.
A well developed capon will weigh
from two to four pounds more than
the cockerel of the same age, and, as
the market price is from two to four
cents more, it is quite obvious which
is the more profitable to raise.
Do not put setting hens so close
together that they can fight while
on their nest. The more secluded
they are the better they will do, and
by all means it should not be possible
for other fowls to get near to nor
disturb them.
Every poultry raiser should have
Matching house, be it ever so small a;
if a little dark, so much the better.
Any place will do where the hens
may sit in peace and quietness, pro-
vided it be clean and the floor
covered with loose soil, little moist
rather than dry.
One dollar per head is the average
cost of keeping a fowl year, and
the same amount is fair estimate
of the profits.
If you get meat scraps from your
home butcher, see that they are fresh
do not feed them to your hens if you
would not eat them yourself. These
and green bones, when fresh, make
the best of meat food for the poultry
but if tainted throw them on the
compost heap.
All dealers in poultry supplies anC
many country store keepers have {
supply of crushed oyster shells; il
any event, they will if the demand
arises. Get them some way, anC
keep box of them where the hen
can help themselves. They will ca
just the amount they need.
To keep the hen ia good condition
for laying she should never have
full crop during the day. 1t is no
hurtful to give light meal of warn
mixed feed in the morning in tn
trough, but such meal should not eX
coed one-fOurth the quantity tn
hens require. Let them hunt tn
rest.

Agriculture,


MANY farmers never find the full
worth of the harrow, and it is COM
mon mistake, when preparing the
ground, not to harrow deep enough.
The clods just beneath the surface
often do more harm than those above,
as they prevent the moisture from
rising.
Thirteen millions of dollars is the
value of the $4,000 bushels of pOta-
toes New York city eats every
year, requiring 10000 acres to pro-
duce them; but they eat 29O QUO
pounds of butter, costing $4,000, 900.
Their milk bill is as great.
Instead of sowing turnips broad
cast it is better to put them in drills,
Just far enough apart to permit of
horse cultivation to keep the weeds
down. 1t is possible to raise SOC
bushels an acre, and even if but a
few cents a bushel are received for
any not needed il feeding it will be
profit.
Manure we'll after the second cut
ting of clover; this, with the decay
ing clover roots, when turned UNI
der, will so store the soil with plant
food that it will take very untOward
conditions to prevent large crop OF
corn next season.
If the disc harrow is used suffici.
emily often to allow no green growth
to come up between the times OF
blowing and seeding, good work car
be done in killing out the Hessiar
fly. This permits of earlier seeding
and gives "a good start before colo
weather sets in.-Farmers Home

A pig which is too fat is not grow
ing we'll, for it has not been receiv-
ing just the right kind of food.
There are just the right rations to
develop bone and muscle.
With proper management the SOW
will commence gaining as soon as
her pigs are weaned, and, usually,
the first time she comes in heat is a
good time to breed her.
Rake up the cObs about the feed
ing yard, burn them until properly
charred and then put out the fire.
If you observe how often the hogs
go to them you will conclude they
fill some want.
1t requires just as much care and
always more feed to make the same
weight with scrub stock that it does
with pure-breds, and the price is
never so high for the first as for the
last.
Every neighborhood has a farmer
a little more progressive than the
average; one who always has the
best of everything. These are the
persons to whom to go for improved
stock, for advice as to breeds, for
lessons in the care of stock.
A variety of food is better digested
and assimilated and supplies more
fully the want of the system than
any one material can do, and the
animal will eat with better relish
To furnish this variety is not much
trouble, and the recompense in
profits is ample reward for the extra
pains taken.
If we can give ample pasturage tC
growing pigs III an orchard which
has been seeded down to clover, NJ
additional food will be called for but
bran and middlings made into a slol
with milk.
In order to bring good prices it il
necessary that the lambs come early
make a good growth, and are ready
for market in good season. A littl,
delay may make considerable differ
ence in the price obtained.
When a sow gets her full growth
her litters will be larger, healthie
and more uniform. Keep such
SOW for several years, or until sh
forms some bad habit.
Exclusive corn feeding is tn
cause of more losses of hogs thar
any other thing. 1t is because cor
is one of the hardest grains to digest
unless ground and cooked.
Even ground corn is too rich, ant
is apt to be over eaten by hogs
causing indigestion. 1t is nue.
better to give growing pigs mil
with a mixture of oats and fin
wheat middlings until they are read
to fatten.
