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-
.iveness OF very weedy pasture, near
ly If not quite to the extent of the
amount consumed by the sheep. After
A 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
we'll as the total amount of stock that
can be profitably kept upon q 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,
some sheep could be profitably 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 well a;
providing the most wholesome kind oi
fresh meat for the farmers family
whenever 1t Is desired.
A mistake often made by farmers
who start in with small flock o
sheep to act as scavengers is to buy
anything that anyone else may choose
to call sheep. has little wool on III
back and will eat weeds. and then trea
them as meanly as their appearance
seems to deserve. This does not pay
Good blood, individual merit and goot
care are as necessary for profitable
sheep raising as with any other kim
Of stock
Buy few good, pure bred, registered
sheep of any one of half a dozen o
the standard breeds, treat them right
and they will do the handsome thin
by you. They will earn their kee
during the summer by destroying
weeds. but they must have good car
and feed during the winter. When
considerable number of sheep are re
quired and pure breeds cannot be oh
tained at satisfactory prices, goo
grade ewes will do. but nothing bu
registered rams of high individua
merit should ever be used.
Such flock of sheep OF appropriat
size will in few years exterminat
the weeds and greatly improve tn
grass of any good native pasture. To
dressing with manure and sowing blue
grass upon the bare spots will also b
found beneficial. II, however, the ma
tive grasses are too badly run out,
may pay better to break the sod vi
crop it for two or three years and the
seed it down again.-South Dakot
Bulletin.

HOGS AND THEIR CARE.

II is a fact that has been widely
commented upon that with swine
raised in the corn belt the constant
tendency Is toward a too great fine
ness of bone and a general weakness
Of the muscular system, which Is
caused by the excessive feeding OF
corn for many generations.
Barb wire is very poor material for
a hog fence. 1t can hardly be made
close enough or strong enough to pre-
vent a shoat from crawling through.
A board fence makes perhaps the
most secure inclosure for hogs, but Its
expense precludes its use generally
except for yards and pens.
All purchased hogs should be quar-.
antined after arriving at the farm till
all danger Of contagion Is past.
The pen and yard for the boar
should be separate from the rest Of
the herd and ost Of sight of It,
In laying the foundation for a hero
Of swine 1t is better to have one goof
sow than several poor ones.
After the framework of the boar has
reached the desired size the anima
should receive only enough feed t;
keep him In good condition.

MOST VALUABLE MANURE.
II You Have Neglected to Save Poul-
try Yard Fertilizer, Turn
Over q New Leaf.

Poultry manure accumulates rapidly,
but 1t can be so treated as not only to be
Of greater value, but also to lessen the
disagreeable odor to a certain extent.
The roosts should be so arranged that
the droppings will fall on platform.
Keep the platform covered half an
inch thick with well-sifted, fine. dry dirt
or ashes. To do this first scatter the
dirt or ashes and then over this sprinkle
handful Of kainit German potash
salt), which will arrest the escape of
ammonia and prevent too rapid decom-
position. Two or three times a week
daily is better) sweep the platform with
a broom. After it is clean, sprinkle the
platform and room with a solution of a
tablespoonful of carbolic acid in a gal
Ion of water, and then scatter the dry
dirt on the platform.
All the materials of the manure heap
should be fine. When the fowls are at
work on the manure heap, they not only
find quite an amount OF waste material,
but perform excellent service in render
ing the manure fine.
An excellent plan is to throw all the
manure In. a heap, allow the hens to
work on It, and then remove the manure
to a large heap, which permits OF its
being more intimately mixed with any
kind of absorbent material. A flock Of
dozen hens will save portion Of their
food II allowed to scratch over the ma
nure, as there Is always more or less
food that passes through animals which
has not been appropriated or digested.
This manure Is more valuable than the
same quantity Of guano, and will be
found most excellent In corn hills or po-
tato drills, and there Is nothing better
for top-dressing onions. 1t should not
be applied In the raw state as top dress
ing. as II is entirely too strong In this
shape and will burn the seed that It
comes in direct contact with. But,
rightly handled. no manure is better
adapted for garden purposes.

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 1t is shown
chemically that there is fully as much
nutrition in the cheaper parts. The
result OF the wholesale demand foy
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 ol
the price Of live cattle.-Chicago Drov,
ers' Journal.

two inches from the bottom, SO that
the shells can trickle down as eaten.
A two-inch strip (B) may be nailed in
front so that the shells will not worl;
out In the dirt. 1t should be made mar
row SO that the hens cannot get in to
scratch out shells. Two pieces &c, c.
can be nailed to the bottom to keep It
from being upset, or it may be fastened
to the side Of the building. The top
may be hinged to put in more shells.
With this arrangement they always

A Miraculous Cure.

My daughter was afflicted with
a fever sore on her leg for over
a year, helpless in bed three or
four months, and the doctors
wished me to take her to a hos
pital. A number of pieces of
bone came out of the sore, show
ing the bone was badly affected,
and it was thought that the leg
would have to be opened and the
bone scraped or the leg ampu-
tated. Hearing of the cures Of
San-Cura Ointment, we applied 1t
as directed and to the great sur
prise of all, including the four
