TALKS ABOUT SHEEP.


How Even the Novice Can Determine
Age and Condition.
Wallace gives these rules for de-
termining the age of sheep: At about
year old two large teeth appear in
the front part of the lower jaw; this
indicates yearling. The English
court of law has decided that the APP.
pearance of these two teeth marks the
change from Amb into sheep. Al
about two years old sheep has four
large teeth in the middle part of the
lower jaw; these, however, frequently
appear at 20 months old, and oc.
casionally a two-year-old will show a
yearling mouth, and yearling two.
year-old mouth; this is natural and
reasonable, for nature seems to take
account of development rather than
age, and a sheep that has been pushed
to early maturity may reasonably be
expected to show the development in
the teeth. At 80 months old there
are six large, permanent incisors,
and at 40 months eight, which in.
dicates a full mouth, or a four-year-old
sheep. Extreme age is indicated by
the teeth looking like shoe pegs, that
is, round and long and by broken
mouth, that the sheep has begun los
ing its teeth. Don't buy that sheep.
Prof. Shaw writes: II am satisfied
that no other line of ordinary farming
at the present time will pay better
than sheep husbandry, provided it is
properly managed. Please bear in
mind that properly managed may
mean very much. 1t may mean the
difference between failure and good
profit; and just here lies the difficulty
getting good man who understands
his business to handle them. Sheep
husbandry is going to extend greatly
in the northwest, and in the near
future many will go into the business
and fail because of a deficiency OF
knowledge in caring for sheep; others
will succeed. A goodly number of
those who fail at first, however, will
succeed later if they persevere. see
no reason why $50 sheep could not be
maintained on 100 acres of good land.
This is true of Minnesota soils, but
am not so well acquainted with the
sells of other states. The profit would
depend largely on the care given them,
and the skill shown in growing sum-
mer pastures and winter foods. 1t
would also be modified by markets"
Keep salt where the sheep can always
get at il.

alone amply repay the cost of it. Such
a shelter will answer for poultry, pigs
or any kind of farm stock.
When cattle are dehorned, as they al
ways should be, they can be allowed
TO run loose without any danger, but
milk cows ought to be kept in sepa-
rate stable. Years ago it was thought
the proper thing to winter stock around
the straw stack, Ito harden them" but
opinions have changed, and every one is
forced to admit that it pays well to
stable all kinds of stock. Double the
amount Of manure can be made in the
stable, and the quality win be much bet.

the boiler should be set on firm base,

Some good shaking CRATE, which cnn

six inches of fire brick is placed under
boiler at sides and back, to make fire

be inclosed in brick work and must be

MAUD LOOKED TOWARD HER FATHER.

while they were at breakfast the second
morning.
"Why, Johnl" cried his wife, in dis
may, you didn't go without your din
ner yesterday"
ut strikes me did" he returned,
grimly.
wouldn't it be better to come home
to dinner?" began Mrs. Newbury, then
broke off suddenly to exclaim in still
greater distress: "And you had to
walk-both ways!"
II did," said Mr.. Newbury, while
Maud looked concerned, and Rob gave
vent to low whistle.
"Well, think that is case of neces-
sity. 1t is too hard for you. You must
borrow some money of somebody"
said Mrs. Newbury, with decision.
"Fiddlesticks!" said Mr.. Newbury,
his features relaxing with smile.
"I'm not complaining. In fact, rather
like it. Six miles day is nothing to
kill man."
'Tm not so certain of it," said Mrs,
Newbury, doubtingly.
"Well, am" laughed he. GAIL I'm
afraid of is that it will give me such an
appetite that the cupboard will go bare
before the month is out"
The first week passed quite comfort
ably. With the housework to do Mrs.
Newbury did not miss the sewing she
couldn't do; the table was we'll set, in
spite Of the absence of meat and milk;
Mr.. Newbury thrived on his fresh air
exercise, while Maud and Rob did the
same on their exercise indoors.
The second week was likewise fairly
comfortable. To be sure, Maud allowed
the nose of the coffee pot to melt off,
and the coffee had to be made in tin
pail, but this itself didn't much matter,
as The coffee itself gave out few days
afterward. It was this week also, that
Rob's rubber boots sprang leak, and
he had to fall back on apair of Maud's
overshoes. Then some one asked Maud
to give ten cents toward a certain char
table object, and thought very meanly
of her for refusing. AS climax the

"But being n month behind, how are

and then not buy thing till your next

"Rather heroic measure, wouldn't
that be?" said Mr. Newbury, doubt
fully.
I'm ready for heroic measures" re-
turned Mrs. Newbury, dehantly.
"Well-Ill agree 10 1t, II you want to
try that plan. 1t is worth some trouble
to get out of the grip Of the octopus"
"Oh!" cried Maud. would you really

"Twould be jolly fun" agreed Rob,
with enthusiasm. "Say! let's sign a

Hole In the GROUND Frequently
Answers Ordinary Purposes.
AS winter is again approaching and
the memory Of how much relief sup
ply of ice would have been during the
heat Of summer Is strong, we suggest
to all who live in section where 1t is
at all possible to get ice to build an
ice house this fall And remember that
1t is not necessary that the ice be very
thick in order to keep. Ice an inch
thick will keep as well as that six inches
thick, II one only gets enough of it.
The cheapest ice house, and for farm
uses the best, is simply hole in the
ground In some location where the
earth at the bottom is porous enough
to permit the absorption of the water
from the Ice as it u1elts. A hole 16 feet
square at top and 20 feet deep will hold
about 100 two-horse wagon loads of
ice, and It would suffice for the needs
Of family through the longest and
hottest summer. Anything that will
turn water will do for the roof. After
the house Is filled with ice it should be
covered with straw, sawdust, leaves or
any other dry material to the depth Of
two or three feet, to keep out the heat.
On almost all farms it is easy to pro-
vide pond from which to get the ice;
the only point to be particular about
being that the water must be clean. 1t
will be best situated where it can have
some protection by trees or otherwise
during the middle of the day, so that
the ice will be melted as little as posi-
BILE during the day. We are sure that
anyone who has enjoyed the comfort,
", 10 put it stronger, the luxury of ice
for one summer, will never fail to sup
ply himself again.--American Farmer.
