To the list of millinery trimmings

Quite porcupine-like is gray hat

With a little straw braid, a wire

be achieved.

SHEEP ON SMALL FARMS

1t is mistaken idea to suppose that
large areas are required on which
to raise sheep. 1t Is true that 1t will
not do to crowd too many on a small
area with any idea that they will get
their living from the vegetation there
but If, say, one hundred sheep were
to be kept on fifteen or twenty acres
properly handled, together with proper
feeding, would bring desirable results.
Taking twenty acres as the area to be
Ised, 1t would be good plan to divide
this into three fields; two fields of five
acres each and one ten-acre field. The
ave-acre plots should be sown in rape
or some other special feeding crop
and the ten-acre field used for gen.
eral grazing. In this plot there should
be shade and water, and the grain
feeding should be done here also. The
fields of rape should be used alter.
nately; that III, give the flock of sheep
access to one field four or five hours
day for one week, then to the other
field IN the same manner. If these
fields were profitably pastured the re-
suit Of the droppings would make them
sufficiently rich for almost any crop
when 1t was desired to use them in
that way, which could be done by hav
Ing movable fences, so that other fields
could be uaed for the sheep in other
years.

GRASS FOE PIGS.

The pigs should be turned on grasi
MS soon as they are weaned and the
grass is ready. They will then require
no feeding, except mess of ground
oats mixed with middlings, whi(

heating for the pigs during the summer
season, and will do more injury than
benefit. Plenty of grass, with an
abundant supply of fresh water, Is the
