1t is well known that cattlemen ere
apt to have a prejudice against sheep.
Probably on the great ranges, where
the fiocks of sheep are counted by the
thousands. they crop pretty close and
there is not much left for the cattle.
So, also, it is said that the cattle do
not like the odor where sheep are pas
tured in great numbers.
But this Is a different matter from
keeping a few sheep to run with the
cattle. They are often n positive bene-
fit to the pasture. Some one who
claims to know says that of about six
hundred varieties of weeds that are
common In Jul fields, sheep are known
to eat 515 varieties, while horses, cat
tie and hogs eat but a few each.
Whether this is exactly correct or not
we know that sheep destroy many
weeds that our other farm animals do
not care for or will not a unless
starved to it, and this is why four to
six sheep IA be kept In a pasture with
each COW, and they will eat what the
COY leaves, and by the destruction of
weeds and the fertilizer they leave in
the field, will enable the pasture to
furnish better feed for the cows than
they would have If the sheep were not
there, at least after the sheep have
run with them one year.-Farm, Field
and Fireside.

Stirring Adventure of a Nurse.

Miss Cox, n nurse in the EsseS
County Hospital for the Insane, re
ceived a telephone message from q
physician, asking that m attendant
b. sent with n cab to n house in New
ark to get n patient. Miss Cox an
swered the call, and upon reaching
the house was ushered in by n woman
who appeared to he sane, and invited
her to n room. When Miss Cox en-
tered the room the woman locked the
door and crossed the room to n table
from which she took n carving knife,
Turning upon the nurse the woman
said: "Now l have got you. You are
running after my husband, and I just
wish he was here to see me run this
through your heart Miss Cox
sprang away, and the woman chased
her around the room, brandishing the
knife. She trippcd and fell, throwing
the knife from her hand. Miss Cox
quickly seized the insane woman, who
became quiet in Il few minutes and
was persuaded to leave the house and
ride to the doctors office, where her
husband and the doctor were found.
Miss Cox told them her experience,
and they said that they had intended
TO wait at the house for her, but had
to leave to save themselves from the
insane woman, who was finally taken

FARM and GARDEN,
E~wH~wRw~w~E


Some farmers and gardeners have n
compost heap for providing fine ma
nure to flower plants and tender vege-
tables. Compost is simply fresh ma
nure mixed with muck, dirt or any
absorbent material that is in fine con-
dition. The heap is kept under cover,
and If q large supply Of material has
been collected, making a bulky heap,
the soapsuds and urine are thrown
upon the mass. 1t must be worked
over so as to secure decomposition of
all materials, and if it heats too much
more dry dirt must be added. If the
farmer would treat all the
made on his farm as SO much compost
there would be a great saving of plant
food. The principal value of compost
is its fine mechanical condition and Its
careful handling under shelter.

HELEN.


Heaped in raven loops and masses
Over temples smooth and fair,
Have you marked it, as she passes,
Clean and shadow mingled there
Braided strands of midnight air
Helen's hair?
Deep with dreams and starry mazes
OF the thought that in them lies,
Have you seen them as she raises
Them in gladness or surprise
Two gray CLEANS of daybreak skies
Helen's eyes?
Moist with dew and honied waters
Of a music sweet that slips,
Have you marked them, brimmed with
laughter's
Song and sunshine to their tips,
Rosebuds whence the fragrance drips.

But, beware; avoid loves dart!
