FEEDING SHEEP IN COLD
WEATHER.

Careful feeding and regularity is the
key to success in preparing stock for
market. Begin early and prepare
feed for winter Don't wait till the
time comes to feed, but be ready to
take care of the stock. 1 have had
much experience in sheep feeding for
winter market. / don't feed much
corn till March, then l commence to
feed. it with oats and clover hay, and
give them all they will eat. Six to
eight weeks is long enough to feed
lambs, Give them plenty of fodder
and water. Soft water if it can be
had to prevent kidney trouble. l am
using cowpeas and alfalfa hay this
year for my sheep. l think it is a
grand feed
In buying up stock for winter mar
ket find the best that can and pay
little more for them than the market
price. When fattened they bring a
good price when shipped to market.
I expect to shred fodder hereafter, so
| can feed all my stock in the barn
Sheep must have a well ventilated
stable. Keep salt where they can get
1t whenever they want 1t. | think
sheep and lambs will bring a good
price next spring. The late rains
started the grass and helped to bring
stock in better shape for winter. We
can't take too much care of our stock
during the winter.-George H. Cress-
well, in New England Homestead.

CLOVER AS AN ORCHARD MULCH.


Considerable publicity has been Civ
IN to the remarks of w. T. Macoun
II the experiment station at Ottawa,
Jnt, made at the American promo
logical meeting in discussing the reno
Tation of apple orchards. Mr. Macoun
stated that the practice at the expert
mental farm had been to grow clover
n the orchard throughout the year. As
he clover reached the bloSsoming
stage, it was cut and allowed to re-
main on the ground. The last growth
Of the clover in the autumn was not
moved, but permitted to stand asa
cover during winter. This system is,
n effect, combination of green man
lring and mulching. 1t differs from
the ordinary cultivation and cover
crop system in that cultivation is left
out of the programme.
A rather too wide application of Mr..
Macoun's remarks has been made. He
was careful to state that this practice
pertained to their own orchard and
vas the outgrowth of peculiar soil and
climatic conditions. The subsoil of
this orchard is cold and impervious
The region in which it is situated is
rarely visited with protracted drouths
The object in growing the clover is to
aerate the soil. draw out its surplus
moisture and protest the trees from

Undoubtedly the clover mulching plan
may be applied quite widely. believe
hat 1t can be practiced with advantage
in many Of the colder apple growing
regions, but do not think it would be
The best plan to follow in sections
where rainfall during the growing sea
son was ct all uncertain. In such sec
tons cultivation is essential.
The particular region described by
Mr.. Macoun is moi a commercial fruit
section. Apples are grown in an ANA
teur way and fruit of fine quality is
produced, but no large areas are de-
voted to the industry. Possibly the
business may develop later If this plan

Do You Want to Yawn?

Feel cold shiverings, aching in the bones, lack of energy, headache, and great depression? These symptoms may be followed by violent headache, high fever, extreme nervousness, a condition known as malaria Heroine cures it.

Even Number of Rows.

That nature lets her peculiari- ties go so far as to dictate tLe number of rows of grains, even or odd, in a common ear of corn IS not generally known. As mat ter of fact there is not an ear which has an uneven number of rows. They are all even, wheth- CT the ears are large or small whether a 'nubbin" or we'll developed specimen. In no case does Nature allow herself to be odd, at least so far as the rows on ears of corn are concerned. 5. II.

I've often heard my papa say He wisht he was boy; That life would be one grand sweet
 song
 With nuthin' left but Joy. If that is what he really thinks wish he'd take try, An if he had to keep it up
 bet that pa would die. He couldn't wallow round in bed Till it was after eight, An then get up as mad as hops Cause ma had called him late He couldn't spit the coffee out An call it pizened slush, An say the eggs weren't fit to eat, An ask who burnt the mush. Fer if he tried sech things as these Mad yank him by the hair, An fix him so he'd rather stand Than sit upon chair. He couldn't come home late at night An then begin to scold Because he'd made us wait so long The grub had gotten cold. He couldn't shove his plate away An say he warn't DO hog; He couldn't swear, he couldn't smoke, He couldn't kick the dog. He couldn't rush out to the club, An have little game, An then come home in such way He didn't know his name. He couldn't knock off work nex' day An lie around in bed, While ma cracked up great chunks Of
 ice
 An packed it round his head. If he could be boy again l think it might suit ma, But you can bet your buttom boots It wouldn't do for pa!

The Country Paper.

In every issue of every paper the editor says something good of his town and country. He works for the public and spends his money at home, while his time is employed in doing good for his home people and advertising their works in showing the advantages of his locality. The newspaper does more than any ten men to ad- vance the best interests of the town. 1t does hundreds of dollars worth of work every year for which not cent is charged or re- ceived. The newspaper that works honestly earnestly and without in- termission for the good of the community in which it is publish ed, is entitled to consideration.
