HERE AND THERE.

Sheep should be dipped as soon
as sheared, for it takes less of the
material and it has more perfect ac-
cess to the skin.
This is the time of the year when
the farmer should carefully think over
his sources of income, and study how
to reduce expenses, increase product
and add to income.
There are many people engaged in
farming all over this country who can
only make a scant living. 1t is also
true that there are many persons en-
gagged in other branches of business
who can't make even that much.
Willingness to work is not the on
~ qualification of a good farmland.
The man who is to become member
of the family, and a companion for the
boys, should be required first of all to
be manly man-clean in speech, and
upright in conduct.
There are many kinds of weeds
that would get a good start on the
farm if it were not for the sheep. In
fact, nine cases out of ten, where yor

with weeds, you will find that the
