SHEEP Benefit PASTURES.
They Are Great Exterminators Of
Weeds and Stimulate Rich
Growth of Grass.

We are convinced that the addition
Of five or six head of sheep for each
COW will tend to increase the produc-
tiveness of very weedy pasture, near
ly if not quite to the extent of the
amount consumed by the sheep. After
few years, when the weeds have been
exterminated, the relative number OF
cows may be increased, but of course
the proportion of cows to sheep, as
well as the total amount of stock that
can be profitably kept upon a given
area. will depend upon the nature of
the soil and the vegetation, the local.
ity, the climatic conditions, and so
forth.
We will not attempt to lay down any
hard and fast rule as to how many
sheep should be kept upon any farm,
but We are firmly of the opinion that
some sheep could be proftably kept
upon nearly all farms in the state.
They will not only serve to keep the
pasture free from weeds, but they will
also prove excellent scavengers for
clearing up stubble fields after harvest
and the odd corners on the farm. And,
moreover, they will yield handsome
profit on the investment, as we'll as
providing the most wholesome kind of
fresh meat for the farmers family
whenever it is desired.
A mistake often made by farmers
who start in with a small flock of
sheep to act as scavengers is to buy
anything that anyone else may choose
to call sheep. has little wool on it's
back and will eat weeds, and then treat
them as meanly as their appearance
seems to deserve. This does not pay.
Good blood, individual merit and good
care are as necessary for profitable
sheep raising as with any other kind
of stock.
Buy few good, pure bred, registered
sheep of any one Of half dozen of
the standard breeds, treat them right,
and they will do the handsome thing
by you. They will earn their keep
during the summer by destroying
weeds, but they must have good care
and feed during the winter. When a
considerable number of sheep are re-
quired and pure breeds cannot be OBJ
tanned at satisfactory prices, good
grade ewes will do. but nothing bu!
registered rams of high Individual
merit should ever be used
Such a flock of sheep of appropriate
size will in a few years exterminate
the weeds and greatly improve the
grass of any good native pasture. TOP
dressing with manure and sowing blue
grass upon the bare spots will also be
found beneficial. If, however, the ma
tive grasses are too badly run out, il
may pay better to break the sod up
crop it for two or three years and then
seed it down again.-South Dakota

HAS TRIED BOTH.
Travel for Health VS.. Dieting.

A man who was sent to Europe for
his health and finally found cure in a
little change in his diet says:
Il was troubled with dyspepsia for
five years and two doctors here in Ke-
nosha that treated me for over a year
both told me there was no help for
me. Then I had an expert from Chi
cago, but still received no relief; then
followed another expert from Chicago
who came to our house two times a
month for four months. He gave me
up like all the others and told me to
take a trip across the ocean, which !
did in the year 1899 and came home
about as bad as when I started. The
doctors told me my stomach lining was
full of sores. Then I began to study
my own case and learned Of the diet
recommended by the Postum Cereal
Co., SO I gave up coffee, pork and all
greasy foods and began using Postum
Food Coffee. Gradually got better and
better until l. am well now as ever
was in my younger days, have no trou-
BILE and eat anything fit to eat.
Sometimes away from home l am
persuaded to drink coffee, but only
take sip of it, for 1t tastes bitter and
d,sagreeable to me, but the longer use
Postum the better I like It and the
better I feel. I could say great deal
more of my experience with Postum,
but think this will give everyone a
good idea Of what leaving OF coffee
and using Postum can do" Name

The Retail Price of Meat.

When the public is better educated
in the art of buying meat there will be
a closer ratio in price between the
values of live stock on the hoof and
the carcasses on the block. Compare
lively few people want anything but
the best cuts, though it is shown
chemically that there is fully as much
nutrition in the cheaper parts. The
result of the wholesale demand for
porterhouse, sirloin or rib roasts keeps
this part of the carcass up to a high
figure, while the lower half has to sell
for cost price or less. This is why,
according to the best authorities, the
choice meats sell high regardless OF
the price of live cattle.-Chicago Drov
ers' Journal

ENTANGLED HEART DESIGN.
How to Make q Sofa Pillow That Is
Unique in Conception and Pretty

Nothing could be more novel and at
tractive than the design Of entangled
hearts on this pillow. Make the cover
of blue linen and cut out a number Of
white linen hearts of various sizes and
scatter over the background in a sug-
gestive way. When you have them
placed in position paste each one neatly
to the foundation. Now with silk but

some with blue, some with white flo.

TYPICAL CHICAGO GOCART.

to make them respondent to the slightest
pebble or the least noticeable rut in the
roadway.
Did you ever ride over an Irish road
in an Irish jaunting carr" asked DR.. Jo-
seph B. De Lee as return question. "Or
over corduroy road in Wisconsin, hold
ing with both hands to the rail of a buck
board seat? Probably when some of the
present babies of the gocart have grown
to these adult experiences they may get
an idea of some former existence from
the jaunting car and the blackboard. Ger
tainly one may imagine the babes get
ting about the same relative shaking up
from the gocart.
The menace of the gocart, should
say, would be in putting babies into it
before they are old enough to sit up
properly. 1t would be impossible to give
a positive age limit at which babies may
be put into such cart, for the reason
that such babies at eight months old
are more able to sit up than are others
that are a year and half old. In gen.
eral, however, baby should not be put
and one-half or two years old.
This is not to say that child will
be thrown out of shape because of little
riding in such a vehicle; in all probable
ity it's greatest suffering would come
from the shaking up it would receive in
the beginning. At the most this would
reflect upon the nervous condition of the
child and keep it awake when it should
be asleep. But if the human body at
any stage of its development were so
susceptible to gocart postures as to crook
spine and thighs and bones of the pei
Wis, there wouldn't be straight man in
Chicago.
THE mother of the child nowadays
does not expect to stay at home and be-
come a nurse; she wishes to get out of
doors herself, and she wants to take
her child into the air. The gocart is
the solution of the difficulty, especially
if the mother lives in fiat or an apart
ment. In coming down town, where
the mother cannot leave the child with
a competent nurse, the gocart is the only
possible means by which she can get
into State street for shopping. She
cannot strap the child to her back, and
she cannot carry it; she trundles the
little one to the car line, folds up the
cart, and stores it in corner until she
reaches her destination, after which the
child may be put back into it and be
wheeled all over the loop district, If the
mother wishes. The cart has come to stay
with the mothers of the middle class.

What the Ducklings REQUIRE.

The ducklings should have plenty of
water to drink, but do not need any to
swim in. In fact, it is better that they
should not have creek or pond to swim
in, as they will take too much exercise
If they do. Feed them often and always
mix the feed fresh for each feeding, as
no young poultry should be fed anything
that has fermented in the least Feed
often and keep the ducks eating. They
