Costly British warships.

The battleships and cruisers now
building in the Government yards in
England, except Davenport, are cost
ing more than the estimates, save in
the single case of the Albemarle. in
which saving of $4,000 was effected.
This is not such an indictment against
Government building as it seems at
first sight, for the eight contract-buit
battleships now building will exceed
their estimates by 100000 and the
eleven cruisers by $4,000. At Devon
port saving of S20,57O was made in
the building of the Bulwark and $21,-
135 in the building Of the Implacable.

Advantages of Weighing Food.

But few farmers weigh the hay given
stock. 1t is true that TO weigh hay for
each cow every time herd is fed is
tedious, but by weighing a quantity a
few times one will be able TO come
close enough to estimate the quantity
in feeding. The object should be not
to overfeed. A great many non-pro-
ducing animals receive more than they
require, although they may consume
it. Ten pounds of hay day should
be sufficient for an ordinary horse that
is well supplied with grain. The
amount allowed cattle should depend
upon circumstances. Cows giving milk
will consume and utilize more than
steers.

Reducing the Acreage For Sheep.

One of the steady improvements
noted in sheep raising is the gradual
reduction of the amount Of acreage
necessary to support flock of sheep.
We have always been extravagant in
this respect demanding two or three
times as much land to support a sheep
as in any of the European countries.
In England. where sheep raising has
always been the best and most highly
developed, they have one sheep to
every three acres, while we have about
one to every forty-tive. This, Of
course, does not indicate that the Eng
lish breeders support more sheep to the
acre in every instance than we do.
There are instances in this country
where we do much better than any Of
our English brothers. But it does
show that we could expand our sheep
industry about fifteen times without
raising more sheep to the acre than
they do in England.
The Improvement noted, and which
should be extended much further, is
that of making every are supply
more food for the sheep, and in such
q way that it would actually cost less
to raise sheep than it does on the
free range. This, of course, must be
accomplished by raising the right
crops, and by taking advantage of the
Sleeps power to increase the fertility
of the soil. The weeds. briars and
bushes in field represent just so
much waste of space. The sheep will
not eat them and they annually take
UP so much room. BY grubbing these
out it is possible to improve the pas
ture without much help. The sheep
will keep them down and nibble off
any new sprouts that may appear.
But We first must take away the
weeds, bushes and briars to give the
sheep chance. The soil is always
highly fortified by the sheep, and
their little feet compact the soil around
the roots of grass plants so they are
less liable to injury by cold and thaw-
| ing winter weather. Altogether sheep
| improve our soil conditions, and 4
farm properly conducted should be
able to support from four to six sheep

An Expensive Sheep.

Many people make 1t a rule to retain
any stray dog or cat or, indeed, any
stray animal that may come to them.
In France this is dangerous thing to
dc. Some time ago a farmer living at
Lozere, near Paris. took in a sheep
that had strayed on to his land, and in
due course branded the sheep with his
initials. Later on the real owner Of
the stray sheep turned up and demand
cd the animal back. The farmer who
had adopted the sheep as his own
stcutly refused to comply with this re-

Keeping the Stable Warm.

A barn or stable should be kept be-
tween fifty and sixty degrees tempera-
ture in order to derive the best results.
In some cases this cannot be conve-
niently done, but as the animal heat is
about ninety degrees, the temperature
of the stable will have more or less in
huence on the quantity of food re-
quired, and hence. the warmer it can
be made in the stable in winter the bet.
