SHEEP RAlslNGa


Commended 10 the Young New EnR-
Hand Farmer with smnu capftnI.
IF young fapiner in New England
has a small capital and wishes to make
the most out Of his farm, / would ad-
rise him to so into the sheep raising
business. / not only say this in view
Of my own experience but also from
knowledge. Of the success OF. others"
This Is the opinion Of a Vermont
farmer expressed in New England
Homestead, aud he further advises:
'sThe young Earmer should start with
about 100 ewes. These ought not to
cost him over $3.25 per head In buy
ing the ewes remember i'm the first
place to look sharply for disease. Do
not accept eve that has a duil eye
and a lusterlessy dead looking WOOL
See that the wool is bright and healthy
IN appearance. ss f "--
In purchasing your ram get strong
individual Of masculine character Cen
crafty, not always, a ram that offers re-
sistance when you strike him forcibly
on the back Of the head will make, a
good leader for. your flock. If the ram
ducks his head. the buyer will do well
to turn him down. See that your ram
has fine chest development, In this eli
mate l would advise the beginner to
conine his efforts to middle wool"
sheep. Those with coarse wool are too
prone, to become wet and cold IN a rain
Growing Feed.
To handle your flock Of a hundred
head sow the first year about six acres
Of oats, cut them when dead ripe and
feed them on the straw. Also sow
about three acres Of rape and three
acres Of turnips, think rape is by far
the ideal sheep feed 1t is almost per-
ennial. With judicious care the farmer
ought to raise thirty tons per acre.
This may seem big, but you can do It..
/ plant my rape about June 25. Land
must be rich and in good shape and fit
ted as well as for cabbage. You will
find rape exhausts the land greatly, but
this is returned in part by the sheep. 1
SOW one pound OF rape seed per acre.
This is as good as twenty pounds. Be
sure to SOW evenly. Dwarf Essex is a
variety that gives success. Your rape
should be ready for sheep when the fall
feed gives out. Ny experience has been
that no feed gives as much mutton in a
given space of time as. does rape.
Following your rape you should have
turnips. Remember that any sort Of
ensilage is also good for sheep. 1 feed
turnips whole to all my sheep with fun
mouth. For lambs you would do well
to cut the turpip.
Build Up the Flock.
My advice to the beginner with a
small farm is to keep over his lambs
secured the first year to build up the
flock. However, conditions may pre-
vent this, and a. part Of the crop will
have to be sold to give the farmer a lit
tie ready money.
Do not be afraid Of keeping too many
sheep on your place. eThe trouble with
the average New England farmer is
that he is afraid of getting the flock
too large He need not worry in this
regard IL he has plenty Of room for
1 them. -1- E5rc-.,s rc 10 -oH-7s eT

The prospect For the sheep Feedern.

The Prospect For the sheep Feeders.
Commenting ON the good prices for
lambs in markets east Of Chicago and
the expectationlof many feeders that
there. vii. be much better, the National
Stockman says: We have no great con-
fidence that these expectations viii be
realized. There is undoubtedly a short
age of lambs on feed, but there is no
scarcity OF meats. and sooner or later
the price at which mutton must sell on
the block will have its effect We do
not know, Of course whether lambs
will go higher or lower. If we knew
such things it would not be necessary
for us to work for a living. But that it
is hard to maintain very high prices for
one class Of meats while others are low
is matter Of history The value Of the
pelt IS more this year than usual, and
it is cutting quite a figure in the mar
ket for sheep and lambs just now. It
will become more valuable as the fleece
grows and will have its effect on prices
But unless cattle and hogs advance
and supplies Of mutton are much less
than now supposed there is not good
ground for the extravagant expecta-
tions now indulged by many.

markable that this leader Of the

able to elude the Vigilance of the
Russian police. The fact that he
is a priest and is held in suoh high
respect by the people generally NO
doubt contributed largely TO nls
safety. 1t is highly probable that
Russian officials conniyed at his
escape just as the soldiers refused
to fire on him when he was leading

Difference between Doctor and
Editor

A0Aboks
If an editor makes q mistake he
has to apologize for it, but if a
doctor makes one he burries it. IF
the editor makes one there is 8
lawsuit. swearing and the smell of
sulphur. but if the doctor makes
one there is funeral, out flowers
and smell Of varnish. The doc
tor can use word yard long
without knowing what it means.
but if the editor uses it he has to
spell it. IF the doctor goes to see
another mans wife he charges for
the visit. but if the editor goes to
see another mans wife he gets 6
charge of buckshot. Any old medi-
cal college can make doctor. but
you can't make an editor-he has
to be born. although it is claimed
that some are developed from de.
tail men. When a doctor gets
drunk it's case of overcome by
the heat, and if he dies it's hear
trouble. When an editor gets
drunk it's case of too much booze
and if he dies it's CASE of de
