Profit In Keeping Sheep.

More land can be put to grass for
pasture and hay land, and more
sheep kept on the products of such
land with less labor than when
reaped in the way of grain and fed
to grain consuming animals. The
man who is fitted for the place and
desires to get along on a farm with
little hired help and minimum of
labor can find solution of the prob
lem by keeping few sheep. Put
the land to grass, fence fer sheep,
Craze goodly portion of it and
make the rest into hay. Buy a little
grain for fatteEing purposes and
feed out each year the surplus and
the solution will have been solved.
A sheep should have no place ON u
mans farm who keeps poor fences or
who does not like TO handle them

OATS AND FIELD PEAS.
ohio Farmer Explains why He Pre-
fers This Combination to
Timothy and Glover.

After some years Of repeated d1sap-
pointment in trying to get paying
crops of timothy and clover on our
light sandy loan, We began in 1899 to
try oats and field peas, cutting some
to feed green into the COWS and haying
the rest. The result is that we have
since made them our regular hay crop,
abandoning timothy entirely but still
whacking away at the clover because
we hate 20 give it up. A fine stand OF
clover secured last year, sown i'll July
with buckwheat, nearly all winter
killed, and the ground tsix acres) went
to swell our oat and pea acreage this
spring to over 20 acres.

roofs FOR THE HOGS.
Than 10 Represe nteil by Their
Chemical Analyses.

We have frequently made the state.
ment that roots have u feeding value
much higher than is represented by
their chemical analyses. We. have
claimed that the effect on the ami
mails system has been most beneficial,
and that a small quantity of roots fed
in nearly every case would cause
freer assimilation of other foods, says
the Homestead.
There has just come TO hand re-
port from the Ontario experiment sta
tion, in which an interesting expert
ment has been conducted with hogs,
the results of which tally very close
ly with our position ON the subject.
One lot of hogs fed barley and mid
dlings for period of seven months
gave Il daily gain of two-fifths of
pound, while another lot, fed with a
similar quantity of the same grain,
supplemented by roots, gave a gain of
four-fifths of pound per day. In this
instance it was found that $40 pounds
of roots were equivalent to 100 pounds
of meal. This report claims that this
is an exceedingly high value for roots
and yet such were the facts indicated
by the experiment.
In another instance, corn and mid
dlings were fed, in which case the hogs
gave .six-tenths of a pound daily gain,
while the gain was seven-tenths of a
pound when this meal was supple
mented by roots. In this case it was
found that 564 pounds of roots equaled
100 pounds of the meal in feeding
value.
We believe that there would he more
healthy hogs in the country if roots
were grown to a larger extent and
made to take the place of some Of our
heavy meals in the hog ration. We
believe in many instances that hogs
are fairly burned up with heavy meals,
and that much economy might be prac-
ticed by supplementing some cheap
succulent food, such as mangels, car
rots or turnips. As to the effect of
roots on the character of the increase
in this ease. the report says: "Those
which were fed roots were much more
growthy and thrifty looking than the
| others and showed less tendency 20 be
come fat. 1t is possible therefore
| that the roots had beneficial effect
upon the digestive organs of the ami
mails, causing them to digest their foot
better than the others, for there i:
little doubt that hogs closely confined
in pens are likely to have Indigestion.

not conveniences for separating them

a doubt. All we know about Goliath is
that he was very tall, but in the Second

ordinary human being. and, according to
modern scientists, this is invariably
token OF degeneracy. Marcel Donnal saw
