high fences, as do other stock; they
do not crawl under them nor break
them down, as do hogs and cattle.
1t is easy to keep sheep farm in
shape. Their droppings are scat
tered about the pastures, and as a
fertilizer are Immediately available.
Our sheep will live off the pasture
in summer, and hay, straw and corn
slower in winter, thus consuming all
the products of the farm, instead Of
using grain only, as is the case with
hogs.
A pound of mutton can be produced
for less than pound of beef, and
it can be made ready for market in a
year, while a calf must be kept
twice or thrice as long before it
reaches its maturity.
Sheepmen have good home
market for grain and forage pro-
duced; they save for their farms all
the fertility; they save in freights
and in work in getting the products
of the farm to market; they farm on
higher plane, because with less
work and worry they reap greater
profits and have more leisure in
which to enjoy life.

Dairy.


Feed skim milk calves grain as
soon as they will eat it. The fat
forming habit gained in their first
three months will stick to them.
To increase your herd, raise your
own heifer calves from your best
cows. Number one cows are not al
ways to be had, and the buyer is
often deceived.
Cows which die at calving time
are usually off flush pasture. 1t is
a good plan, in the warm SUNNI er
months, to avoid milk fever by shut
ting up the cows in the barn for two
or three weeks before parturition,
and feeding them nothing but dry
hay and oats.
1t Is perhaps too much to expect
all farmers to keep Thoroughbred
cows, for they could not afford the
cost, but there are often excellent cows
among highly graded stock, which,
il carefully selected, will prove all
that one could ask. The great
secret is in knowing and culling out
those which are Improbable.
Fall calves come in at time
when they can be disposed of at a
profit, for meat is usually higher
then than in the spring, when there
Is a surplus of calves. The sale OF

very beautifully to illustrate the
American characteristic of giving
slight heed to rank and place as
against efficiency and daring the SUI

to do with Mr.. Mckinley, and it re-
lates that while visiting one of the
camps during his recent Southern
tour he CHANGED to be strOlling
about unattended, and sought to
pass a certain line which was patrol
ed by vigilanG sentinel. The SEN
tinel promptly stopped him and de-
manded the countersign.

Horses.

Perhaps it might be the part of
wisdom to slaughter million or SO
of our scrub horses, sell them for
their hides and hoofs, and enter the
field with better prospect. Able
horses for the pillow, coach, wagon
and army are the requirements of
modern civilization. We can
supply the world with horse flesh
when we raise the kind the world
wants.
1t is helpful to any community to
have established good horse mar
ket. Where high class horses have
been bred buyers soon learn where
the best are to be found, and better
prices are obtained because of the
competition of the buyers. A
locality can soon get horse reputa-
ton.
AS we get to raising better horses
we take better care of them, and
then 1t is possible to get out of them
all they are worth. A horse should
be most valuable after he is eight or
10 years old, and has learned to be a
good horse with good sense; for the
next 10 years he should be pleas
ure and benefit.
1t takes not only ability, but
special training, to make a good
breeder of horses. The average
farmer who fails to make any profit
from his endeavors with these ami
mails should turn his hand to some-
thing else, and give the art over to
those who are competent.
Are we practical people? We
have not been whit benefited by
the millions spent in breeding fast
trotters, though we have ruined a
lot of young men with the gambling
habit; but we always get returns
when we breed that which is useful,
large, pretty and we'll disposed in
the horse line.
You can buy horses "for all pur.
poses" cheaper than you can raise
them, and it is folly to breed any
such truck. Breed for special re-
suits, and the money returns will BIZ
pretty sure.

Because of a notion that it is hard
to breed standard bred poultry, often
the fowls on farm are allowed to
remain of a mongrel kind. 1t is no
harder in any sense to breed good
stock than that which is inferior.
The eggs hatch just as well, the
chicks are as hardy, and the pure
breeds mature earlier than those of
any other parentage whatever.
The best made poultry yards may
be muddy for day or two when the
spring thaw comes, but it should be
so graded and ditched that no water
ever stands on the surface to make
puddles for the fouls to wade through.
If your poultry yard is muddy this
spring, take special pains to prevent
it ever being so again.
