Curtice said it would pay the people
of any section to try to get rio of the
ticks. In the first place it prevents
the loss of whole herds by disease.
In the second place there is about a
cent a pound difference in the beef
sold from. south of the line and that
north of the line. Thus in North
Carolina there are some SOC, 900 or
600, 900 head. of cattle, with only
about 100, 900 head north of the quar-
antine line.
DR.. Curtice thoughtalso that there
ought to be some legislation in the
South to prevent the importation
here from the north of tuberculous
cattle.
"One-ffth of the cattle north of
us have tuberculosis, and they are
often sent here for dairy and breed
ing purposes. The South has a right
to demand that this shall not be done
as the North demands we shall not
send ticky cattle there"

used, provided it is thoroughly in
c~orporated with the soil. This pre-
caution must always be taken no
matter what kind of manur is used
before planting.
A most effective way of applying
manure is as a top dressing a few
months before bearing time. This
mode seems to be peculiarly suited
to the strawberry plant. It's roots
row near the surface and are,
therefore, very quick to appropriate
fertility thus applied.
A good way on rich soil is to mix
in the ashes before planting and after
that apply no more manure until the
following winter. Then about the
season that freezing weather begins,
say December 1st, apply evenly over
plants and middles just enough stable
manure to cover the ground. If no
ashes or other form of potash was
used before planting, one pound to
the square yard may be evenly scat
tered over the whole plat.
Stable manure applied as above at
the beginning of winter answers a
double purpose. 1t both fertilizers
and protects. When plants T set
late in the fall or in winter on stiff
soil it is a good plan to at once pro
tect them with coarse manure.
While it is best to cover the whole
plat, middle and all, if the quantity
of obtainable is limited, it
may be applied just over and around
the plant. Manure lacking, almost
any kind of litter will answer. The
object is to lessen the heavipg of soil
incident to frequent freezes and
thaws. Be careful to see that this
mulch does not cover the plant too
deeply, and that most of it is raked off
about the time that growth begins
in spring say March 1st to 18th in
the central sections of the country
and earlier or later as you r South
or North of that section. 1t must
be remembered that in the far South
no kind of covering can be used.
Stable manure or ashes not to be
had, any fertilizer, rich in potash,
Will give good results.
But as in the feminine letter (f
cynics are trustworthy witnesses I
have left the pith of this paper for
the post script. That is the mode OF
planting. A good way for the gar
den or for intensive culture gener-
ally, is to set the plants II to 10
inches apart in the row, according as
the variety is d moderate or rank
grower, and to have the rows II to
Is inches apart. Between every
series of three rows have a two foot
alley or walk way. All runners must
be clipped off as fast as they come
out.
The soil should be stirred often
enough throughout spring, summer
and fall to kill all weeds and grass
before it comes. Very shallow cul-
ture is best. If timely done it is
surprisingly light. One hours work
"a fortnight will keep in order a fair
sized strawberry bed-if done fort
nightly. But two hours a month
will not; neither will a days work
every two months. It's the stroke
in time that counts here above all
places.

section to another will then produce
excellent results, and will give the
pasture a chance to yield more food
than when cropped continually. 1t
will produce more food to the acre
and will consequently keep the
sheep in better condition.
The sheep should be raised pri-
marily for wool, but all surplus ami
mails should be fattened for the mar
ket as carefully and thoroughly as if
they we're prime mutton sheep. The
selection of the breeding ewes for
such a flock constitutes half the
secret of the ultimate success or
failure. They must be the finest Of
the flock and present points of merit
that specially recommend them for
the work. At neyear old, from one
third to one-half the ewes should be
selected for breeding. The best and
most promising are needed for this
purpose, and they should then be

of the sheep the first year. Ewes
raised and fed carefully in this way
will gradually increase the size Of
the average member of the flock at
the rate of four or five pounds a year.
In five years a flock was raised to a
higher standard in this way, SO that
the average increase in that time was
twenty pounds. Next to the ewes
the rams must be selected 50 that
the same tendency to Improvement
will be continued and emphasized,
One parent alone cannot do all the
work. The breeding and care must
be on both sides. The ram should
possess a good constitution and
should be a good feeder. No matter
what its breed, these qualities should
be manifest. The rams should be
the best in the flock, and should
have a good mutton form, with deep
breast, short neck, and with a good
back of wool. Attention to these
points are really more important
than hat of pedigree and breed. The
individual must be the possessOr of
qualities that can be transmitted to
its young. Matted to a good eve,
such a ram cannot fail to prove
profitable. w. E. EDWARDS.

SOME wooL-GRowING METHODS.
E.. P. SMITH.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
A good flock of wool producing
sheep should have a range sufficient
ly large to permit them all to thrive
without crowding. To do this the
range must be divided into sections
provided the flock is a large one.
Continuous pasturing in summer
and fall on n field is not the best
way to get the most from the soil.
Three divisions should at least be
made In the range. A barbed wire
fence will easily secure this at little
expense. Changing from n pasture

INTELLIGENT CROSS BREEDING.

Correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
Not a little of the trouble in grad
ing up herbs of live stock comes from
indiscriminate and ignorant cross
breeding. New blood is neces
sary for every flock, and some intro
duce it with a vengeance. That is,
they cross with about everything
that III along. They seem to
take a certain amount of pleasure
in introducing the blood of nearly
every breed-gOod, bad and indiffer-
ent-intO their flock. Some will de
fend their position by saying that
they are experimenting, and that
the work is all done in the interest
of scientific breeding. They will
even point to some accidental discov-
cries of fine breeds produced through
cross breeding unexpectedly. They
are wrong in this logic, for the acct
dental discoveries have not beenprC-
duced by indiscriminate ross breed
ing. Breeders were conducting a
line of experiments with certain ami
mails for certain results, and acct
dentally obtained something else.
They We're using every cross for ii
purpose, and were thus intelligently
conducting experiments in the inter
ests of science.
1t is very different from the indis-
criminate cross breeding, which has
no object or aim, and is carried on
in d h~aphazard style. It only leads
to confusion and generally to the de-
generation of u flock or herd. Vicious
and undesirable qualities are pretty
sure to be introduced in this way,
and in the end there Will be absolute
loss.
Intelligent r0s breeding is Of the
utmost importance on Il farms,
and it is something hat "a be car
ried on by every farmer. All that's
necessary is an intelligent desire to
improve the animals and a clear aim
in view. A cross should be made
only with superior animals to the
live stock on hand. A neighbours
bull may have some good merits,
but the chances are that they are
not superior to those of your flock.
AT a little more expense you can
secure a high grade bull to head the
flock, or the services of another may
be secured at a trifiing higher ex-
pense than your neighbOrs. 1t never
pays to cross with an inferior bull.
Such an animal should have been
killed long ago for beef. 1t is the
best thing we can do with bulls that
have no special merits for breeding
purposes, and the sooner the farm Is
cleared of such animals the less dan
ger will there be that farmers wi l
injure the standing of their herd
through the temptations of economy.
In-and-in breeding is bad enough
when the stock is all high grade, but
to practice this with inferior animals
is something almost criminal. 1t
neal degeneration in vitality, and
the loss of nearly all animals that
"a be called profitable in any sense
of the word. Let such cross-breed-
ing be RELOCATED to the past, while
the farmer who practices it should
fail in order to show him the right
path of duty and success.
