SHEEP AND THE LAWN.

There is no better or nicer method
of caring for the dooryard Of the farm
home with a minimum Of work than to
have it consist of an acre or SO nicely
planted with trees. no flower beds or
low shrubs. and properly fenced in.
Then once a week turn In the sheep
for an hour or two. and they will keep
the yard In as nice shape all summer
long as could be done with a lawn
mower. This is not a new idea and is
entirely practical. The objection to
the nicely kept lawn and dooryard for
the farm home is the time required to
keep it up. This plan solves this prob.
lem.

Some close student Of bird life has
made the discovery that nest building
is not altogether an instinct, but partly
a tine art taught by the older birds to
the younger ones just as child is
taught music. In proof of this claim
he says that the orioles in pairing are
invariably mated an old and a young
bird, one of the pair possessing the
architectural knowledge necessary to
the construction of the hanging nest
which these birds build.
