Sheep Need Dry DeddInr.

Many people who keep sheep under
sheds on an earthen floor in cold wealth
er make the mistake of not providing
bedding enough, thinking that it will
interfere with properly packing the
manure which is trodden into a hard
mass by them. But a little dry straw
should be scattered over the floor at
night, and it will be none the worse
if it is the refuse Of what the sheep have
picked over during the day. Even the
fattening sheep will eat some straw
each day as change of food. and it will
select the upper part Of the stalk near
the head. Dat straw Is the best for
this purpose. The sheep is very impa-
tent Of wet, and besides, it is injurious
to the wool to have it soiled by manure.
II the ends Of the wool are closed by
filth this stops its growth. Just as it
does on the tags. which. even after they
have been secured. are not worth as
much as clean wool from other parts of
u body.-American Cultivator.

Sailing CLOVER HAY.
Some Reasons Why the Practice II
Rather to lie Encouraged
Than Condemned.

The farmer who guides himself by
what he reads about sailing clover hay
will probably become confused, says a
writer in the StOckman. One authority
says never salt tit is dangerous TO do
so. Another no less confidently assures
us that it should be sailed; he has al
ways done so, likewise has bis father.
Plainly when doctors differ the indiyid-
ual may use his reason about the mat
ter, and if possible decide for himself.
The objection against salt is that it
is deliquescent and therefore an in
crease of moisture is to be expected
from its use. After many years of OBJ
servation and experience we have con-
cluded that for us sailing clover hay is
very desirable. We have endeavored TO
arrive at this conclusion intelligently
by repeated tests both in the NOW and
stack. The clover which is sufficiently
cured to keep without sailing will not
suffer from heat if salt is applied. While
ii is true that salt is deliquescent. yet
it is altogether probable that this draw
back is balanced by the preserving quail
ity, for why should salt cease 10 pre-
serve hay when it is applied to other
for this purpose? Yet we
can admit, if necessary-which our OBJ
servation does not warrant-that salt
ng does not materially preserve the
hay, and still claim our case. The pref
erence of the stock for the sailed hay |
apparently sufficient guide. Suppose
he individual had to partake Of his food
insalted, would he not make an obiec-
ion? Neither would he be reconciled
o this if his salt came in daily or week
y installments.
