Care of Sheen.

There are two things that the sheep
need as much as any animals on the
farm. They need fresh air and they
need exercise. The sheep shed should be
so built that when it rains or SHOWS so
that the sheep cannot take their daily
run in the field, the windows or upper
half doors can be opened to allow the
fresh air to enter freely. If they have
not been shorn they will not feel the
cold, and only those who grow winter
lambs shear in the fall. But whenever
the weather is suitable they should
have run out in the field, not yard
bare Of grass and filed with mud and
manure, but in an open field. Even in
damp day they may be out for a
short time, but not long enough to get
their wool wet through. The uneasiness
of sheep when in pasture shows their
need of exercise. They will not eat and
lie down as COW does, and some Of the
smaller breeds are almost as ready to
jump on a wall for the fun of jumping,
as goats are.

Spring Wheat.

When the fall sown wheat has winter.
killed, or where the Hessian fly has
been troublesome, spring wheat may be
sown. This crop was once the favOrite
in many sections, but has been aban-
doned to large extent, excepting in
some northern localities as in Canada.
There they still grow it in preference,
and they obtain as good crops as are
usually grown from winter wheat. We
see no reason why seed obtained from
the North should not yield good crop
in New York or Ohio, on any land that
would grow winter wheat, and in a
place where the fly abounds it would
have to contend only with so many of
them as came on the field from some
field of fall sown wheat near by. The
winter wheat has to contend against
both the fall brood and the larger
spring brood which results from it.

Cure for Collie in Horses.

When horse takes the collie, procure
some gunpowder containing saltpetre,
which acts upon the kidneys. Char
coal and soda, which act ON the stom-
ach and the intestines. To give relief
drench the horse with this; or, better,
take saltpetre, alum, charcoal and
laudanum, equal parts, and make a
drench and give the horse. These are
all safe with the exception of the laud-
anum. Be careful not to give over an
ounce Of the laudanum. Keep horse

but not too much, and feed.-H. A.

Changing Plans.

The farmer who is continually chang
ing his breeds Of stock or his favorite
crops is very seldom a money-maker.
He is apt to find out that he made the
change just a little too late. He sees
some one making money on beef cattle,
and he abandons dairy farming to breed
fat cattle, only to learn that he ought to
have bred hogs. He tries hogs, and be-
comes convinced that sheep are more
profitable. He gives up crop that he
knows how to grow to take up some
speciality that his neighbor has found
a profitable one, and few years. ex-
perience teaches him how to grow 1t,
but 1t also teaches him that he could
have bought his experience much
cheaper. We do not mean that a man
should not change his breeds of stock,
his crops or his methods of farming,
but he will do well to make his changes
gradually, and not part with a good
thing every time he thinks any one else
has better thing.-Exchange.

WHAT ALABAsTINE Is.

Alabastine is the original and only dur
able wall coating on the market. IL is
entirely different from all kalsomine
preparations. Alabastine is made ready
for use in white OF fourteen beautiful
tints by the addition of cold water. 1t is
ages, properly labeled, with full direc-
tions on every package. 1t takes the
place of scaling kalsomines, wall paper
and paint for walls. Alabastine can be
used Q n plaster. brick, wood or canvass,
and aichild cap brush it on.

CHURCHES AND scHooLHoUsEs.

The interior walls of churches, school

be coated with anything but the durable
and pure Alabastine. So evident has this
fact become, that hundreds of tons are
used annually for this work. The genu-
inc Alabastine does not rub or scale of.
1t is clearly during the long period of its
usefulness. Every owner of building
