PROFITS IN SHEEP.

English farmers keep sheep profit
ably on land which is worth from
5000 to $500 per acre. They are kept
not for their wool, but for their value
as farm fertilizers and for the high
priced mutton which they produce. 1t
is an established fact that Il pound Of
mutton can be produced on western
farm for as little first cost as pound
Of beef or pork. In selling value the
mutton holds its own with either. If
we add to this fact the wool crop
which, even at low price, will pay
for the food eaten by the sheep, and
the value Of the sheep as a farm fertil-
izer and utilizer Of otherwise waste
products, it proves beyond doubt that
flock Of sheep, say Is ewes on a
quarter section farm, Is one Of the
most profitable investments which can
he made. We know there is the dog
and the wolf and the lack Of proper
fencing with so many, but by yarding
at night near the house the first may
be avoided, and flock Of the size
named will Justify the employment Of
boy for a herder during part Of the
year when it is desirable to give the
flock the range Of the fields outside
a regular pasture. All the territory
north Of AZ degrees, lying in the north
west, Is especially adapted to the
sheep.

CULTURE OF ENDIVE.

Endive, although one Of the oldest
vegetables and very useful salad for
autumn and winter, when lettuce be-
comes scarce, is not as generally grown
as it ought to be, which Is perhaps on
account Of the extra labor required in
Dlanching it and the difficulty some
times experienced in preventing decay
after tying up for blanching. Now Is
good time to SOW endive, as it thrives
best during the autumn, when the
weather gets cooler. Its culture Is
similar to that Of lettuce. 1t does best
in light, rich soil sown in drills II
inches apar: and afterward th1nned
out II inches apart in the drills from
plant to plant. Like lettuce, it must be
encouraged to make quick growth to
have it at it's best. and therefore 1t
ought to get plenty Of water in dry
weather. The curled endive Is perhaps
the best, and it is very ornamental.

AFTER CHEAPER LAND.

There Is a general movement from
the $50 farm lands Of Illinois to the
no lands of Iowa and from the $40
Iowa farms to the 500 Minnesota farms,
the mover in each case largely increas~
ing the area Of his farm and in many
cases securing land of greater fertility.
1t is today perfectly safe for any man
to buy good land anywhere In the
northwest, no matter how remote at
present from railway facilities, for no
man will be allowed to long remain over
Is miles from depot The average
farmer Of Illinois, Iowa, southern Min
nesota, eastern Dakota, Kansas and
Nebraska already has choice Of two
or more markets within a usual range
Of 20 miles and less. Where the good
land is, there the roads are bound to 20
sooner or later, and If good land can
now be bought for from $40 to $40 per
acre because of the lack of Transporter
tion facilities, you take it. It's your
chance, for all good land in the north
west has an inherent value Of not less
than $40 per acre inside Of 20 years. I.

OUR MEATS w!lL WIN.

American beef no longer meets with
disfavor in the British market. After
years Of experience with it the people
are more friendly toward it than ever.
Many shops now display signs calling
attention to the fact that they handle
prime American beef" says The Ma
tional Stockman, whereas few years
ago such an announcement would
have seriously injured their trade.
American beef has been tried and
found satisfactory by the greatest and
most critical meat consuming nation
Of Europe. 1t Is a safe prediction
that sooner or later our meats will
ropean countries. Merit and cheapness
are hard combination to keep down.
Those countries which now hold out
against our good and cheap meats
are placing themselves at a serious dis
advantage industrially as compared
with their more liberal competitors.
Dear food means dear labor. either in
price or in efficiency, among civilized
nations. and this means costly produc-
ton, which makes competition impos-
sible In these days Of cheap products.
1t is only question Of time when
Germany, which Is making such vigor-
Gus effort to become the foremost in
dustrial nation Of Europe. will be
forced to realize these truths and to
admit American meats in order to
maintain her Industrial position.

A GOOD TINE COMING

The agricultural possibilities con-
nected with these northwestern states
are something almost beyond compre-
hension. 1t is safe to say that If the
time ever comes when the same in
tensiye methods and thorough cultiva-
ton prevail as may be found in
France, for instance. the average yield
of crops will be nearly doubled The
pioneer methods are Of necessity
wasteful ones, for land is cheaper than
labor. AS land increases in value
these methods change, the work of one
man covers a smaller area, the work
is better done, there is less waste,
farm economics in a hundred ways
get in their work as the land advances
in value, steps are taken to conserve
the fertility Of the soil, thought is had
for the future, an intelligent rotation
Of crops gets a foothOld. and fewer
weeds are raised. This process cannot
be forced, but will come In its own
good time.

A BAD MISTAKE TO MAKE,

He had enough so that he did not have
to 60 to the poorhouse. it Is true. but
this In no sense mitigated the pttiful

boys and girls, have their friendship;
and II you think that by just feeding.
clothing and educating them you have

you ever made In your life. The day

you than all your land, all your stock.
all your bonds and mortgages. To
have this priceless blessing when you
grow old and feeble you must lay the
foundations for it with those little folk

CORN FODDER.

II any Of the corn Is to be saved for
fodder this year, it will soon be time
to be thinking about it. In one sense
there Is unquestionably a tremendous
waste associated with the common
method Of husking the corn on the hill
and leaving the stalks to rot in the
field. In another,sense there Is no loss,
as In the case where a thing costs
more to get than it Is worth. This is
true with regard to the corn fodder
when properly saved there Is no bet
ter rough food for farm stock. 1t Is
Of especial value as dairy ration. The
amount Of corn fodder secured is likely
to be governed very largely by the
price Of hay. When clover hay can be
bought In the stack for So to 81 per
ton, there will not be very much corn
fodder used. Where hay Is worth from
$6 to So per ton the corn will all be
cut up. Thus through much Of Illinois
the corn Is usually all cut up and the
fodder saved, while in northern and
COAIA "a AONd Out u VI
the crop is thus secured. Improved
machinery has made the cutting and
securing Of the corn fodder q vastly
easier job than it used to be, whether
done by means Of the silo or by the use
Of the improved corn harvesters. There
is no doubt that 40 acres Of corn fod-
der allowed to 60 to waste represents
the equivalent Of not less than sixty
tons Of good hay. This waste If one
sees tit to SO term 1t. suggests the good
sense Of reducing the area Of land kept
as meadow, the land to be used for
some other crop (Which process in ef
feet would increase tie acreage Of the
farm), and the utilization Of the corn
fodder in place Of the hay. This plan
is being adopted by many progressive
farmers, and with very satisfactory re-
suits. If the corn is cut, care should
be taken to try to have it cut at the
right time. The fodder is not worth
saving after 1t Is smitten by the frost

ADAPTATION TO CHANGED
CONDITIONS.

1t Is interesting to note how birds
and animals will change their habits
In the effort to adjust themselves to
changed conditions wrought by man.
For instance, the bats have found out
that the best place to get a harvest
Of insect food. Is In the glare Of the
arc light, and SO, Notwithstanding they
are especially designed to seek their
food and perform all the functions Of
life in the dark, we find them frequent
ing the vicinity Of every electric light
and darting through and through the
swarm Of insect life which on every
warm evening gathers around the arc
They seem unable to seize their prey
close to the light, the brilliance and
intensity Of the arc probably binding
them, but catch the bugs in the shad-
ows Of the circle some 20 feet away.
The swift invariably builds its nest in
an unused chimney. and still the time
was, not so very long ago either, when
there were no chimneys. and we are
left to suppose that hollow tree trunks
were used instead. The martin always
seeks building erected and occupied
or an imitation house erected for its
use in which to nest; yet still there
were martins long before there were
houses, and no one knows just where
they then built. The sparrow, by pre-
empting every available nook and cor
ner in buildings in the cities, has CON-
PEELED an entire change In all forms
Of exterior architectural ornamental
tion Of buildings, such as cornice, Win
dow trimmings and the like, no design
now being used which permits the
building Of sparrow's nest within it.
The sparrow and the house martin to-
gether compelled the abandonment Of
the early types Of arc lights because
Of the persistency With which they
built their nests in them. The gros-
beak will slit pod Of peas and take
out every pea, never in a blundcrirg,
awkward manner, but always in just
the same way, as though shelling peas
had d>always been his business, when,
like enough, he never tried peas for a
diet before in all his life.
