Tho Oxford Down.

About the year 1888 some prominent
and skillful breeders in Oxfordshire.
England. undertook the formation of
9 new breed Of sheep which would
combine the weight Of the long wool
with the quality Of the Down. They
did not establish q scale Of points that
was not fashionable then, but they said:
"A real Oxfordshire Down shall have
nice. dark color, the poll we'll cover
ed with wool, and adorned with q ton
not on the forehead, a good fleece of
wool. thick on the skin, not too curly,
well formed barrel on short legs mot
gray or spotted) with a good, firm NUT
ton. They stuck to the test. They
kept pegging away. Free wool had no
sting, single standard no terror for
them. On double standard platform
(woel and mutton). with two breeds to
draw (Cotswold and Hampshire) with
out waiting for the aid or consent Of
any other breeder. they fought the bat
tie. The English people are open to
conviction. but the most conclusive ev-
idence IL required to convince them.
The pioneers found no little dificulty
in securing public recognition for their
breed. But they were patient. per.
sistent and determined. And in 1862.
when the Oxford Down was given a
separate class at the Royal show, the
glorious victory was won. The ideal
sheep is the one that will produce the
most mutton, wool and lambs, all Of the
best quality and at the least expense.
To its near approach to this ideal may
be attributed the phenomenal success
Of the Oxford Down breed in England

Origin Of Potato Bugs.-The Colora-

name from the fact that it's native
home was at the eastern base Of the
Rocky Mountains, where it fed upon
a species Of wild potato quite common
to this region. known as the Sand-bur
(Solanum rostratum). It was collected
there and described by Thomas Say in
1924. It was first mentioned as an In
furious insect In 1859 when some Of
the early settlers Of western Nebraska
reported 1t feeding in large numbers
upon the Irish potato. We thus see
that the species changed it's food from
wild to cultivated plant, as has
been the case with many of our in
furious insects.-Ex.

About Growing Corn.

A speaker at a famous institute said
In raising crop OF corn, 1t u.s. as
rule, economical to use three horses
abreast to the plow, even with a twelve.
inch plow. tor one man will drive them
as easily az he will two. and they will
do one-third more work to the hand. Q
matter Of no small Importance in the
outcome. The same may be said Of
narrowing. II the ground is not trashy,
requiring the harrow to be constantly
lifted. three or four horses abreast
attached to double harrows, will save
nearly half the manual labor in har.
rowing. II the ground is reasonably
clean and correctly check-rowed, the
crops may be narrowed twice-once,
preferably, just as the corn ia fairly
sprouting. and again the other way
just as IL 1t is fairly out Of the ground
so the rows may be seen. II It gets
higher, q hand should follow each har.
row with q narrow garden rake to un.
cover any upon which clods my have
fallen. In cultivating, good hand will
cover but little corn. and this he vii,
uncover with the toe Of the boot. and
generally without stopping the team
covering the corn. The later cultivation
when the soil becomes pretty well filled
with roots. need only be shallow. But
here. again, the operator must be guild.
ed by circumstances. As q rule early
planting gives the best crop, but good
crop need not be expected II the land
is either plowed. planted or worked
when wet. It sometimes requires con.
siderable courage to decide to wait
when weeds are pressing. When It IL
a question Of having the crops smoth.
cred by weeds or of waiting, we should
take the chances. on wet land. rather
than to wait.
