Methods of Mutton Maker.

Sheep require no expensive shelter
A dry place and protection from the
force of storms, an open shed with
roof that will turn the rain, is all that
is required. Sheep will not lie down
in mud, and no matter how warm and
commodious your barn, unless clean
and dry, they will seek a knoll or dry
spot of earth, no matter how fierce
the storm. Combining them to inclos-
ures is less difficult than is generally
supposed. L never knew a sheep to
attempt jumping a barbed wire. 1t
is q common mistake to build fences
too high, and not low or close enough.
I believe q flock of sheep that have
never been taught TO climb or creep
can be successfully restrained with
four barbed wires, properly strung and
kept taut. Their wool is such a pro-
lection to them against the vicious
ness of the barbs that when taught
to creep, the building of impregnable
fences becomes a necessity.
Stagnant water is the best vehicle
for conveying the parasites that infest
the sheep. If you have not an album
dant supply of clear, pure water, easy
of access for sheep. do not attempt
sheep raising. Low, marshy or spouty
land is an abomination to the flock
master. Either drain the ponds or
apply the herd law and fence the
sheep out. Sheep are great scaven-
gers and will clear your farm of weeds
if you give them time and opportunity,
but they will not thrive and increase
twofold and pay your grocery bill four
times year on weeds, barbs and fence
corners.
Sheep, as well as other live stock,
love greater variety of feed than
they usually get; but sheep especially
are fond of change and variety, even
unto apparent fickleness. They adapt
themselves quickly TO change of con-
ditions, and no matter how luxurious
the pasture, they will leave it daily
and frequently to nip sprouts and
weeds.-H. NJ. kirkpatrick, in New
England Homestead.

Lighter Shoes For Horses.

The wear and tear on horseflesh
makes quite an item on the farm, and
anything that will reduce this friction
for the farmer should be welcomed.
1t has been proven beyond dispute
that the average horse is shod with
too heavy shoes, and if lighter ones
were substituted the animal could
do more work with less WEAKNESS.
Heavy shoes have no particular ad-
vantage except for large truck horses
on stone roads where shoes wear out
quickly Even in such cases it is
doubtful if too heavy shoes prove of
any value. Certainly for farm horses
light shoes are much more satisfac-
tory. The effects of such a change
are quite noticeable shortly after they
are put on, and in years time the
extra amount of work that is obtained
from a horse will more than pay for
the shorter time that light shoes may
wear
The main object of the shoe is to
protect the hoof. and the lighter it
can be made and serve it's purpose the
better it is for the horse. A good
part of the year horses on the farm
would be better off without shoes. and
they can do blowing and similar work
in soft fields without in any way in
juring the feet. In winter, when the
ground is frozen, it is quite different
and shoes seem necessary at these
times. \ horse weighing 100 pounds
should generally be shod with shoes
not weighing more than twelve to fif
teen ounces each. If four ounces are
added to each shoe, the total differ
ence in the animals shoes is sixteen
ounces. In blowing, cultivating, now
ing and reaping. a farm horse will
walk from ten to twenty miles a day.
If it takes about four feet each step
the horse will lift half pound extra
on its two feet or six hundred pounds
in every mile. If we make the av-
erage days work fifteen miles, the
horse will lift 5000 pounds a day, or
nearly five tons. The energy required
to lift this amount is wasted and

be expended in doing extra work that
would pay, it would nearly pay
the animals keep. Leg weary horses
are common on the farm, and leg
weary horses are apt to break down
in time and have crooked and ailing
limbs. 1t is not only a matter of hui
manity, but one of profit to tighten the
horses burden all we can, and this is
one good way.-C. T. White, in Amer
lean Cultivator.

y AGRICULTURAL. x


The farmers of ontario, Canada,
seem to have great faith in peas as
an important crop to be grown as
q feed for stock. Between fifteen and
twenty millions of bushels are raised
annually in the Province, and the
greater part of the crop is fed to live
stock. 1t is thought that much Of the
success which the Canadian farmers
have obtained in preparing stock for
the market has arisen from the lib
eral use of peas in the food rations.
No doubt there is a profitable lesson
in this for a great many American
farmers.-New York Weekly Witness.

Best Type of New Woman.

'"The year after the Worlds Fair,
Mr.. and Mrs. Potter Palmer made an
extended tour in Europe and Egypt.
She received a distinguished and uni
versal welcome, equaling that accord
ed a half century before to George
William Curtis and later to General
Grant. In every country, at every
court, Mrs. Palmer was entertained
with special honors. Everywhere she
gave the same impression of beauty
and charm. The Queen of Belgium
was particularly attracted by this
representative Of young country and
of Western civilization. Mr.. and
Mrs. Palmer visited the Queen at her
famous chateau at Spa. Yet when
Mrs. Palmer returned to her native
land after these certainly unusual So
cial triumphs, one never learned of
them from her.
Having accomplished her Worlds
Fair mission, Mrs. Palmer returned
to private life, firmly declining any
further public honors such as our So
cial institutions offer to women. She
seemed to be definitely settled in the
conventional position of a society
leader, for which both nature and
circumstances had well fitted her.
Then arose the question of appointing
a woman to the Board of Commits
sioners TO represent this country at
the Paris Exposition. Mrs. Palmer
was prominently the woman for the
place She knew this, and also she
knew that she had more work to do
to round off properly that which she
had sought to accomplish at the Chi
cago Exposition. But there was an ell
ement at Washington that did not
realize this. Opposition, instead of
disheartening her, only Strengthened
her determination. Bringing all her
ability and tact to bear, she again
successfully achieved her aim. She
was appointed as the one woman com

up or down and hang a weight to the
outer end of the beam. The hoop with
the curd in it should be turned or re-
versed every eight or ten hours. From
eighteen to twenty-four hours is gen
orally long enough TO press a cheese.
Now comes the curing period, which
requires considerable care and atten-
ton. The cheese when taken from
the press should be rubbed with lard
and a bandage of new muslin pinned
loosely around it. The cheese must
be creased every day. Do not remove
the bandage, but apply the grease on
it. In from four to five weeks the
cheese should be ready for home use
or market.
