KEEP MORE SHEEP.
Many Reasons Why Every Farmer
should Have n Flock.


should Have n Flock.
There are a number of reasons why
sheep should be kept on every farm,
whatever the price may be for wool or
mutton, says a writer in the Rural ca
madam. Sheep should be kept in time
of low prices because the low prices will
not always exist, but are likely at any
time to take an upward trend. When
that time comes the people will be found
clamoring for mutton, which they
learned to eat in time of low prices.
When the rise comes the number of
sheep being marketed will suddenly
fall off. as will also the number to be
had for breeders. You will then be
glad that you kept enough of the old
flock TO provide for the expansion of the
new flock.
Sheep should be kept because there
are many wild grasses on nearly every
farm that will be eaten to the best adj
vantage by sheep. They have no butter
or milk to be tainted and rejected by
the market for that reason. lot of
sheep running in the COW pasture might
reduce the weeds to such an extent that
much of the bad effect on the butter
would be avoided.
Sheep cannot be dispensed with for
the reason that they provide meat in
small parcels. each one Of which may
be disposed of before it suffers from the
effects of decay. Every farmer can thus
provide himself a constant supply of
meat that can be equaled only by his
poultry. The two make an agreeable
addition to the harder.
Sheep should be kept in lnrge quaint
ties for the public good. II the present
rate of depletion be allowed to go on.
there will come time when we must
import a considerable amount of our
mutton. and the money thus going out
annually will tend by so much, to keep
he balance of the trade against US.

The
Ri6htRel0edy

The disastrous effects of potash and
mercury, which the doctors always pre-
scribe for Contagious Blood Poison,
should convince anyone that these are
not the proper remedies for this horrible
disease. Instead of forcing the poison
from the system, and getting rid of it
forever, potash and mercury only bottle
it up, and by driving in the outward
appearance of the disease, induce the
patient to think he is being cured. But
he sees his mistake before long, when
his joints become stiff and his bones
ache-often his hair will fall out by the
handful and if he follows the doctors
advice and continues to take his medi-
cine, his finger nails will drop off.
There is cure for this destructive
disease, though no doctor has ever yet
cured it. Ofcourse they may pronounce
patient cured, but the disease has
never failed to return, with increased
severity. S.S.S. (Swift's Specifc) is
permanent cure, and is the only remedy
free from harmful ingredients. 1t is

a Tax Upon Bachelors.

The news reaches us by way of Eng
land that law has been passed by the
parliament Of Argentina putting a tax
on cclibacy. The text Of the enactment
has not yet arrived at the Argentine
consulate, but its general features are
given in London dispatch.
Every unmarried mae between the
ages Of 80 and so years falls under the
provisions of the law. He must pay to
the state a monthly tax, the amount of
which is determined by circumstances
over which he may or may not have
control. In particularly heinous in
stances of single blessedness the mulct
is heavy. Ordinary misdemeanants in
celibacy escape more easily. There are
few conditions which may he pleaded
in mitigation or complete abatement of
damages Priests are not taxed.
The law is aimed directly at men, but
both sexes may be made to feel it. Of
course the men are considered the chief
offenders, since, in negotiations leading
to matrimony, they are supposed to take
the initiative. Moreover, they have all
the money. But there are circumstances
in which the women may be considered
particeps criminis, accessories before or
after the fact.
Thus the maid or widow who, having
received the tender Of heart and hand,
promises the suppliant to be sister to
him, must give to competent court
good and sufficient reason or else pay
fine Of $500. What is worse, the fine
money goes to the rejected sutton who
makes complaint New York Herald.
