NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

It Is sudden changes in the weather
that affect sheep and lambs more than
anything else.
The price Of feeding sheep is simply
out Of reach OF some buyers who feed
for the margin there is in the busi-
ness.
Sheep or lambs must rot be allowed
to run on rape while 1t is frosted.
Wherever they touch leaf with frost
on It it will break Off and die.
There Is nothing better to sustain the
vigor of ram than liberal feed of
wheat bran. It has nearly all the phos-
pilates Of wheat, and these nourish the
nervous system.
One advantage with sheep is that
they do not require any considerable
amount Of capital, and can be fed much
that would otherwise go to waste, and
with good management can be made to
pay fully as good o profit as any other
class OF stock.
Now that sheep feeders are getting
about as much for lambs as for sheep
a year older, the lamb trade is develop
ing wonderfully. A revolution upon
this basis seems to be working it's way
through the live stock trade entire. 1t
at least assures quicker return on
money invested.-Rural World.

cause the farmer to change his plans.
But he should not on this account fail
to seek to establish so far as lies within
his power some regularity and uniformity
Of rotation Of crops on his lands. The
continued fertility Of his lands is thing
that demands this much Of him.

Hard on Cotton Growers.
Some time ago we asked butter
dealer what he did with the lowest
grades of butter that came into his
store, and he told us that 1t was bought
by the soap men. The soap men also
use enormous quantities OF cottonseed
oil. It does seem rather hard on the
cotton grower who has suffered like
the rest of us that we should enter into
competition with him in this way. The
oil Is one of his waste products by
which he helps to make both ends meet,
and here we are meeting him in his
own market with the product Of the
