Watch the Turkeys.

Saws a Pennsylvania farmer: II
always know when there is going to be
wind-storm by watching the turkeys and
chicks 80 to roost each night. In calm
weather the fowls always roost on the
poles with their heads alternating each
way; that is, one faces east, the next
west, and so on.
but when there is going to be high
wind, they always roost with their heads
toward the direction from which the
storm is coming. The reasons for these
different ways of roosting, l take it.
when there is 10 wind to guard
against. they can see other dangers more
readily if they are headed in both direc-
tions. but when wind is to arise, they
face it, because they can hold their posi-
tons better, But the part can't under
stand is how the critters know that the
wind is going to rise when we mortals
lack all intimation of it..

Worlds Plocks Diminishing.

Consul Williams, writing the
State Department from Cardiff,
Wales, has this to say about the
worlds supply of sheep:
"The world is eating up its sheep,
its hocks have been declining for
three decades, and that decline has
become pcrceptible in so many
countries that it is regarded as the
most remarkable agricultural move
ment of our times. A number of
independent causes have co-opera-
ed to bring about this result. The
first TO be n0ted is the modern
method of studying Hebrew his
tory and literature. This has
brought to light the fact of the
preponderance of mutton in the
meat diet of the Hebrews from the
earliest times, preponderance
that accounts in part for the char
acter of their civilization, and
their persistence as race. The
dread of tuberculosis and pleuro-
pneumonia in some countries, and
of trichina in others, has led 10
the substitution of mutton for
other meats by several classes, es-
specially those influenced by the
lurid accounts in the sensational
press. The high price OF beet in
recent years has forced many 9TH
ers 10 make u like substitution
But the principal cause nt the de-
cline OF snerp has been 1.-THE move
ment Of the ~ sIicultura population
10 The industrial centerS in the
towns and cilies. This class, with
an already acquired taste Tor NUT
ton, is able TO crafty that liking
to greater degsee in the town
than in the country, ard the in
crease of its purchasing capacity
by the higher wages paid in the
towns
The 'Onsu then quotes figures
thai show that the worlds supply
Of sheep has declined at last o.
600, 600 head since 1878, an aver
agt OF more than 5000, 600 head a
year. This decline, which must
continue while present conditions
prevail, is the opportunity of the
American farmer, but he has not
yet awakened to the fact. Sta
itistics show that the United States
in 1894 only furnished 742, 900
pounds of mutton to the British
trade out of total Of 1863, O65 900
pounds.
1t will be seen by this that. the
American farmer secured the bulk
of sheep of the sheep trade, but he
was not factor in the mutton mar
ket. 1t would appear that there will
be more money in sheep for yeare to
come than any other agricultural
product, and the American farmer
will doubtless find it profitable to
devote more attention to this de-
nestle annimal.
