The Economical sheep.

Great business enterprises have been
built up by attention to details and
stopping the wastes. The wastes alone
if saved would make a handsome prof
it on the average western farm. In
guarding against needless waste on the
farm the sheep has not yet had the
consideration it deserves from the
farmer. The impression prevails that
in some instances our lands are too
valuable for mutton production. A
more hurtful fallaey does not exist.
Our lands are becoming too valuable
to be without sheep. The average
quarter section or 200 acre farm will
practically fatten carload of western
wethers on what would otherwise be
wasted. The old country farmer and
the Canadian make it practice to
CLEAN the stubble fields with sheep as
soon as the crop is removed and change
the flock about from one field to an
other until the entire farm is grazed
during the season. The possibilities of
mutton production from the stubble
fields, cornfields and fence rows of the
Mississippi valley states are of great
magnitude, and yet one can ride all day
without seeing a flock of sheep. From
sixty to ninety days of good grazing
with a few weeks of corn feeding at
the close will finish a bunch of wethers
for the market, and they may be turn
ed at a much better profit than by win
ter feeding on an expensive grain ra-
tion.-Breeder's Gazette.

Odd Things.

The origin of the sentiment, "Old
wood to burn, old wine to drink, old
friends TO trust, old authors to read" is
somewhat obscured. Bacon found that
Alfonso of Aragon was wont to say in
commendation of age that age ap-
peared to be best in these four things.
John Webster Q63S) went further in
declaring, "Old wine wholesomest, old
pippins toothsomest," and that "old
wood burns brightest, old linen washes
whitest." Goldsmith in ''She Stoops to
Conquer says. 'Old friends, old times,
old manners, old books, old wine"
There are many variant quotations.
