TRAITS, OF SHEEP.
The Flock still Follows the Leadsr
Just ~ It Did Before 1t Be
came Domesticated.

When sheep are driven through Z
narrow gate-say, for reckoning pur-
5poses-a very common performance is
for one sheep to give leap as if over
an obstacle or across ditch. # one
gives leap all the others to the rear
of it on reaching the same spot follow
its example. Wild sheep always ap-
point sentinels and leaders and adopt
their ways of progression in the most
implicit manner. The origin of the
jumping habit of a flock when one
gives the example is very ingeniously
explained in DR.. Louis Robinson's
work, entitled "Wild Traits in Tame
Animals 'When sheep ing q wild
state" he remarks, dash off together
among broken ground or on crowding
along some perilous ledge on the
mountain side-their usual habitat-it
would be quite useless for those in the
middle of the band to endeavor to see
obstacles at their feet. Hence each
keeps an eye on the leader, or those i'm.
mediately in front initiate his move
ments. If the leader thinks a three.
foot jump is necessary to clear some
dangerous spot every sheep in the pro-
cession will take three-foot jump; il
he jumps higher they will jump higher
and so on. They carry out this i'm
itated action with a most extraordi
nary precision, even when it has to be
transmitted through long chain o'
different Individuals" The sheep in
dustry seems to be the safest invest
ment for the farmer. When Other
crops fail the flock can always be de-
pended upon. The wool crop is always
sure, and when sold he has small
bank account and the flock left. What
is better than sheep?-Western Plow
man.

Sugar Beet Experiments

Experiments with sugar beets this
year have given very encouraging re-
suits. In the west the general rule
is to pay four dollars per ton for beets
containing 12 per cent. of sugar. In
New York state the yields have been
from IA to 1s tons per acre in some
localities, one plot producing 26 tons
per acre. The percentage Of sugar has
also been high, some samples giving
II and 1s per cent, the average being
IA per cent. 1t is possible to grow over
four tons Of sugar per acre with the
aid of beets. This industry is apparent
ly slow to take hold on large scale,
but it is believed that in the course
of time it will be a regular feature Of
observation-disclosures Field and Farm.

the Farmhouse In q Clean and

In order for the farmer and his fami-
.ly to remain healthy and contented,
It is imperative that everything about
the farmhouse be kept clean and tidy.
Indeed, the least items tending to SLOW
enliness should never be tolerated any
longer than is absolutely necessary,
for such are highly susceptible to aug
mentation, in which case they are very
liable to breed disease and ruin. This
applies especially to the swill barrel,
Of which stationary one, in back
yard or front, is about the biggest and
In summer the most dangerous (pes-
titerously speaking) nuisance TO be
met with anywhere on the farm.
Hence it is that we advocate the use

Scaly legs are so easily cured that
there is no excuse for allowing focks
to get in bad condition from the dis

up each hen and pour the oil right
from the spout, from the knee toward
the feet, taking care not to get any
on the skin above the shank. Some
times one application will entirely kill
the scale insects. Those that still look
badly after few days: should be kero-
sened again. But little scale will usual

does, scrape little with knife and

To Prevent Hog Cholera.

With caution and proper treatment
at the first signs of the disease cholera
may be kept out of the herds entirely.
Many men do this. It is the careless
hog raiser who is sooner attacked and
who suffers the greatest loss. All hogs
need plenty of good pasturagc in the
summer time and some green food in
winter. It assists in the digestion of
the foods, and with good digestion and
plenty of exercise, together with clean
liness, hogs are almost immune from
any disease.

Irrigation Before Planting.

Irrigation of the soil before planting
is very important and profitable, and
very simple To have this it is only
necessary to plow the land into ridges
by throwing the burrows toward each
other and run the water between the
ridges. After the water has had; suf1i-
cient time to drain off properly the
land is to be plowed, narrowed and
planted. This enables the crop to get
good start, and it will stand well.

have resulted in his victory. The

thing appeared to be against them.

is safe to say that Mr.. Durke's
horse was the faster but not being
trained to trot in hobbies his speed
was much impeded.
