Sheep on tho Farm.

1t does not require large farm to
keep small flock OF sheep, which.
everything considered, is the best. II

De kept where wanted. Many rough,
worn-out farm might be brought up
and made valuable by raising sheep.
There is no stock so well adapted to
rugged hillsides or rough pastures. or
to prevent the growth of weeds and
bushes. Where sheep have the range
OF field very few weeds win 90 to
seed. and bushes will be so throngblv
cropped that they will either die or be-
kept back. When a farmer can thus
easily turn the weeds and bushes of q
farm into excellent manure, and at the
same time have them converted into
mutton and wool, it is certainly q rood
thing.
Sheep will thrive in a pasture and
get fat where cattle would almost
starve. They also scatter their drop
pings over the field, and never fail to
enrich lands, where kept. Feed them
extra, for this additional food works
to the profit of the raiser in two wavs
1t not only insures good growth of
nesh and wool, but it makes the ma.
nure richer and more valuable.
TO make the most profit out of sheen
they should be well fed and cared for.
A sheep must be fed to make the best
mutton, but few conceive that a we'll
fed sheep produces more wool than
one poorly cared for. Wool is a prod
net from feeding, the same as fat, and
many farmers loose half the profit
from neglect to feed properly. Sheep
should have, besides good feed. dry,
clean quarters, sheltered from rain and
storms. Missouri Farmer.

Buried cities in Central Asia.

The Norwegian traveller, Sven Hedin,
has contributed to a German journal,
Globus, an interesting account of his
journeyings in central Asia in the dis
trict north of the Kwenlung noun
tains. Ruins of large towns were dis
covered which had been buried by sue
cessive sandstorms spreading over a
thousand years, hence very modern
from Petrie point of view Separate
houses were uncovered of very fragile
construction consisting of wooden pill
lars, while the walls were put together
of plated reeds covered with mud. The
latter were rendered at once impcrvi-
Gus and suitable for decoration by be-
ing coated with white plaster. Draw
ings were discovered on these walls,
and well executed, of human figures,
horses, dogs and flowers, and iudg-
ing by the copies which have been
brought back, of no small artistic
merit Small figures of Buddha were
also dug up. as well as various fruit
trees which told tale of the byRone
days when this arid surface was once
made fertile by the waters of the River

largest returns for the money invested
In or on the farm.
Economy on the'farm is a branch of

HERE AND THERE.


There is no gainsaying the fact
that if farmers would farm for a Hv.
Ing and not simply to make money.
they would live better and make more
money too.
Each farm is problem by itself,
the problem changing with crop. It
is problem that has to be solved in
practice, yet out of thought constant
~ exercised. So that from mistakes
well considered oftdn come the most
marked successes.
On the farm during the longer
nights and shorter days of the winter
there is great opportunity for thought
and cultivation of the mind-opportu-
nifty for revision, for adding to the
fund of information, for planning for
the future in the light Of all past ex.
perienee.
There is no better feed for hogs
than peanuts and sweet potatoes, and
then the harvesting can be done by
the hogs themselves, and this gives
them salutary exercise and growth
and fat at the same time. Then. If
corn is scarce. the hogs need not know
nor care about the matter.
The quickly-developed mule makes
a quicker seller at less cost than does

ing Mules are raised for profit, and

the cheapest and best for the feeder.
The United States consul at Mar
settles, France, says that that country
imported last year 400, O00, 900 pounds
of peanuts from Spain, India, Argen-
tina and South Africa. These nuts
sold for about three cents per pound.
None were imported from this country,
where they grow to perfection, and
are easily and cheaply raised.
1t does not pay to work with dull
or otherwise inefficient tools. Bad
plows, broken harness, poor teams
and unsuccessful farmers are usually
found together on the poorest farms.

gious, and is sure to spread from one
to another until every factor Of the
