SHEEP ON THE FARM.
cause of Their FOndness for
Young Sprouts and Weeds.

The sheep is among the most use.
full and valuable of domestic animals,
being a producer of wool used for
clothing and other purposes, and of
wholesome meat. But the sheep also
is of large value on the farm because
of his fondness for young sprouts and
weeds.
According to an authority there are
nearly 600 varieties of known weeds,
of which sheep will eat SIS kinds, while
horses, cattle and hogs will eat but n
few varieties. It is apparent tina
every farmer could well afford to raise
few sheep if for no purpose other
than the destruction of weeds.
Weeds increase in numbers and va
rieties as the country grows older.
They are found most abundantly in
the old countries of Europe. Their
steady increase in this country de-
mands that farmers should raise sheep
as, among other means looking to
their determination.
BY all means get two or three ewes
already bred and give them the run
of that foul pasture. Increase the
flock by breeding and purchase if adj
visable, until the number is sufficient
to keep down the weeds on a given
area.
No farm is properly equipped with
out sheep.-Farmers' Voice.

Fineness.

The so-called Panama hat. so ex-
tensively in vogue, is not the product
of Panama at all, or even of the state
of Colombia, but is manufactured in
the neighboring republic of Ecuador
in enormous quantities and of every
variety of shape, texture and quality,
and sold under the general name of
Guayaquil hats throughout Mexico,
Central America and South America,
at prices varying from so cents up
ward, says New York News letter.
The hat, however, that is known to
the wealthiest classes of those coun-
tries as the Panama hat is quite diff
ferent affair, veritable "article de
luxe" selling at prices varying from
$50 to $3.50, according to their fine
ness. They are worn indifferently by
either sex, without ribbon or other
adornment, as they come from the In
dian makers hands, without profana-
ton of starch, and are the more high
ly priced from the fact that their
closely woven texture not only rem
ders them impervious to the suns
rays, but likewise waterproof, which
last quality is highly esteemed where
it is deemed expedient to keep the

ARRANGEMENT OF THE BRUSH.
inch thick. Arrange these in pairs, a.
many pairs as there are notches in
each end board, and bore holes through
them at intervals of one foot, prepare
tory to boiling them together. Brush
which has been collected from the
thicket is now placed between these
boards and clamped fast. For the sake
of clearness only one of these brush
is shown in the illustration. The
clamps thus formed are now placed in
the notches prepared for them in the
end boards, with the brush hanging
down. They are held down by mar
row board nailed across the tops of tho
posts at each end.
The device is now complete. The
difference in height at the two ends
makes it suitable for cattle of all sizes.
The brush will last for long time, but
should they become much worn, or old
and brash, they may be easily replaced.

In the summer it is just as necessary
to provide cattle with place il the
pasture field where they may brush of
the flies as it is to furnish shade, food
or drink. The device in the illustra-
ton shows good arrangement for
this purpose. It consists first of four
posts set in the form Of rectangle IL
feet long and eight feet wide. At ono
end the posts are about sh feet high,
at the other only three feet. Across
each end of the rectangle an eight-inch
board is nailed at the top of the posts.
In the upper edge of these boards are
cut notches about four inches deep and
21l inches wide. Beginning next to tho
posts these notches are cut at inter.
walls of IS or 20 inches.

THE POULTRY YARD.

The old fat hens should be sent
where they will not be liable to sun
stroke.
The surplus layers should be started
on the way to market. The chicks will
soon need more room.
Dwarf Essex rape will furnish green
food for young and old birds. Sow
now or any time up to September.
A heavy dressing of lime on poultry
runs will purify them and insure the
flocks against diseases that breed in
filth.
Dry sifted coal ashes on the floors
of coops and frequent cleaning will
help to keep young birds in healthy
state. Dry earth is equally good.
BY all means use water fountains, or
at least some. form of water vessel
that the flock cannot be forthwith their
feet or otherwise. Set in shady places
and fill daily with fresh water.

Though there is much poverty in

much happiness. The poorest classes
are happy from morning till night.
They use the bark, branches and limbs
of the trees for the construction of
their houses. Large gourds furnish
them with buckets, and smaller ones
with various vessels. Fruit and vege-
tables are plentiful all the year round.

The Old and the New,

We cannot help admiring the fine
shirt of conservatism which leads
many men to cling to the faith of their
fathers in many good things. But
there is such thing as being too con-
servative. When conservatism means
ignorance, awkward methods, unsatis-
factory returns, it is not subject of
reverence, but source of stagnation
and poverty. The true spirit of i'm
provement is not wild desire for some
thing new; but it is willingness to
recognize that which is best and to
utilize it whether it conflicts or coin
cides with former ideas. Let US not
revere the old things too much, nor ex-
alt the new things merely because they
are new.-American Cultivator.

WIDE-AWAKE FARM BOY.
mined to Make Agriculture
Profitable Occupation.

This article is for the boys; those
live, up-to-date lads that like the
farm and it's stock. The boy that it
is about lives in Portage county, and
know that you will be interested
in hearing about him. Last fall the
writer attended the Chagrin Falls
fair, and on the road from that fair
we passed a boy driving pair of
calves hitched to wagon. He was
hitting on the spring seat, whip in
hand, as dignified as any grown man.
The calves were well broken, and
they responded perfectly to a word
and slight tap of the whip which
he carried in his hand. We noticed
that he never beat them or yelled at
them, as some grown persons do
when they drive oxen.
We thought: ''Now, here is nice
tpicture," SO it was arranged that
Harry Stebbins (for this is the boys
nancy should bring his calves and
wagon over to Mr.. John Gould's the
next day and have their photograph
taken. The next forenoon Harry was
on hand with his outfit, and Mr..
Gould borrowed neighbours children
to help fill the wagon, for that is
the only way John has any children
of his own. The sun was just right
on the south side of the windmill,
derrick and large maple in the yard.
Sitting there in the morning sunlight,
Harry looked as pleased as a 'sure-
enough" farmer. Snap went the
camera, and the picture was taken as
Quick as fash, and you can see all
