keep off flies.
Never keep more hogs than you can
take good care of.
Don't feed the horse toe much corn in

The well-bred hog will pay. The in
ferior hog viii not.
Filthy surroundings for the pig and
mango often go together.
The best hog has a good chest, for
there are the vital organs.
Remember that a fat animal should
not have violent exercise.
If sheep are kept in a pasture with
cattle dogs will not attack them
The bay horse with black points is
now the favorite carriage horse.
The colt should have clean stables.
Unclean stables produce joint disease.
The Trans-Mississippi exposition at
Omaha will give $4,000 as premiums for
live stock.
A shade for the lArse's head in hot
weather will save the life Of the horse
very often.
Let the colt have a chance to learn TO
eat oats by keeping them where II "a
get at them.
A horse that is fed three times a day
should be given no more hay than 1t
can eat in an hour.
Just as soon as the hog will eat give

SHEEP ON THE FARM.
Why They Are More Valuable Thao
ANY other Kind of stock. Even
IncfudinH Poultry.

The dog Is the only enemy TO the
sheep industry. 1t can successfully
battle against any sort OF tariff laws
and In competition with other kinds Of
stock, but the dog is invincible. II we
will take the trouble to compare the
cost of making mutton with the cost Of
making other kinds Of meat. the sheep
will have the advantage. In q paper
read at one of our Michigan farm insti-
tutes there was a carefully-prepared
comparison OF the sheep with cows,
steers, horses and hogs, and the sheep
got the best Of it every time. II has
often been said, and may be said again,
perhaps with profit, that sheep on the
farm are valuable because they are
good weed destroyers. good fertilizers.
produce meat at a little less cost than
any other animal can produce meat.
produce a fleece which no other animal
does and is about as handy to kill for
fresh meat as a fowl is. No dry farm
should be without at least a small flock
OF sheep. When | started In the BUSH
ness | did il with ten head, and | have
never had more than 16 in the perma-
nent flock. II is not much Of a flock,
but | call attention to its uses. 1t pays
for its keep and considerable besides.
1t is better for my land than purchased
fertilizers and much cheaper than they
are. II has cleaned my farm in seven
years of many kinds OF weeds. and ii is
so easy to kill a sheep for meat for
the table. and mutton is so healthy and
so relishable that | would a good deal
