The Farm.

Uncle Sam is going to have soil map
that will be wonder. 1t will be some
thing of a kind entirely new, and will
enable the farmer, wherever he is To-
Gated, to determine just what crops will
bring him the largest returns in money.
Printed in colors, it will convey infor-
nation in the clearest and most easily
comprehended manner imaginable.
The map is to cover the whole of the
United States, and will be on such a
scale that every ten-acre patch will be
represented by one-eighth of an inch
square. But each farmer will be able to
procure a chart of his own neighbor-
hood on a larger scale, so that he can
arrange his planting in accordance with
the suggestions which it conveys. The
work is done by townships to start with,
and these are put together to make coun-
ties, which are finally assembled to form
complete maps of States.

Some one who claims to know says
that of about 600 varieties of weeds
that are common in our fields, sheep are
known to eat sis varieties, while horses,
cattle and hogs eat but few EACH Com
menting on this statement The Ameri-
can CuLtiUator says: eff we do not vouch
for this as being exactly correct, we
know that sheep destroy many weeds
that our other farm animals do not care
for or will not eat unless starved to it,
and this is why we claim that from four
to six sheep can be kept in a pasture
with each COW, and they will eat what
the cow 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"
