BUILDING A FLocK OF SHEEP
Some of the Qualifications Necessary c.'" to Establishing a Success Q
 fui Flock.

If l did not want to invest a great deal of money in sheep'I would get a flock of common two-year-old grade Merino ewes: either of the Delaine or Ramboulet type. with as few wrinkles as possible. would buy Merinos. be- cause they are cheaper are great wool producers and are good, hardy sheep. l would get full-blooded buck. pref erably a Shropshire, as believe this to be one of the best mutton breeds. The Merino blood would give me a heavy fleece of fine qualify and the Shropshire blood will increase the length of the wool and improve the mutton, says writer in Orange Judd Farmer.
 l would have dry. rOOmy shed with openings to the south. these so ar ranged to be- closed in stormy weather. Let sheep have plenty of exercise dur ing the winter. Feed them bright corn fodder if you have it. Sorghum is also good feed. but alfalfa hay is still bet ter. Alfalfa is the best for the lamb- ing period. as 1t increases the flow of milk and keeps the ewes in good con- dition. would feed a little grain. about bushel of corn to 100 head A mixture of half oats and half corn would be better.
 rrI would, bHeed to have lambs come in March. as they seem to do better than if they arrive later. They are then large enough to go to eating as soon as grass comes. Wean them about August 1, and turn them into the corn field and they will grow very rapidly.
 As the weather begins to get colde. begin to feed little grain and in. crease until they are eating about all they want By Christmas they should weigh 80 to 100 pounds. You can sell the wethers at a good profit and keep the best of the ewes to build up your flock. Do not forget to dip them. Dip just after you shear and in the fall. too, if you think they need 1t.

THE LIVE STOCK.

The horse that Is always ready for his meals IS one that Is sure to earn more than his board.
 When the colt is growing the hoofs should be looked to occasionally to see if they do not require trimming.
 Merinos are still popular in some parts of the country. on account of the ease with which they are herded.
 Sheep do not dress out so we'll as cattle. The dressed weight is not often larger than B per cent. of the whole weight. while in many cases it runs down to 50 per cent.
 The keeper of fine stock is benefited by having his neighbors raise only fine stock. His own reputation is mixed I'D to some extent with the reputation of the neighborhood.
 Sugar cane is used in South Africa for stock feed. It is cut and cured as hay. The cattle are very fond of cane stalks and will eat up the entire plant if |, has been cut before the seed IS h-rdened

bridge at all Would it not have been better to force the conflict there, when he had the advantage of position? But, right or wrong, he had made his choice and must abide by 1t.
 To add to his discontinue, his horse, which at first had Jagged, now began to limp, and as they proceeded this lameness became more apparent. With a twinge of heart he piled the spur more strongly, and the willing but broken creature responded as best 1t could. Again it hastened its pace, seeming in measure to recover strength and endurance. then. without warning, lurched. fell to its knees and quickly rolled over on Its side. Jac- queline glanced back; the animal lay motionless: the rider was vainly en- deavoring to rise. Pale with appre- hension. she returned and, dismount ing, stood at the head of the prostrate animal Determinedly the jester strug- gled, the precipitation standing on his brow in beads. At length. breathing hard. he rested his head on his elbow.
 Here am I caught to stay, Jacque line" he said. "The horse is dead. But you-you must still go on."
 With clasped hands she stood looking down at him. She scarcely knew what he was saying; her mind seemed in a stupor; with apathetic eyes she gazed down the road. But the accident had happened in little hollow, so that the outlook in either direction along the highway was restricted.
 My emperor is both chivalrous and noble," continued the plaisant quickly GO to him. You must not wait here longer. I did not tell you, but I think the free baron will have no difficulty in crossing, You have no time to lose Go. and-goodby"
 "But-he had long way to ride. even if he could cross," she said, and she dropped on her knees and took his head in her arms.
 The sound of horses hoofs beat up- on the air.
 "Jacqueline, go! There is yet time"
 Abruptly she arose. He held out his hand for last quick pressure. god speed to this stanch maid comrade of the motley

 Standing in the road gazing up the hollow. she neither saw his hand nor caught his words of farewell. An ex- presson of bewilderment had over spread her features Quickly she glanc- ed in tie opposite direction.
 ''See. see. she exclaimed excitedly.
 But he was past response. Over come by pain in last desperate at tempt to regain his feet. he had lost consciousness. As he fell back. above the hill in the direction she was look ing appeared the black plumes of a band of horsemen.

 Her glance rested on the jester ly- ing there motionless. and, hastening to his side, she lifted his head and placed it in her lap. So the troopers of the Emperor Charles-a small squad of outriders-found her sitting in the road, her hair disordered about her, her face the winter against that black shrOud.

-PATRoNIzE HOME MERCHANTS

.PATRONIzE HOME MERCHANTS
A newspaper published in a small
western city scores against local mer-
chants who have appealed by circular
letter to the citizens of that town to
.'patronize home merchants" The cir
Gu ar is fun of good things, advocating
as it does civic pride and loyalty. and
explaining how the home merchant pays
taxes and contributes to the benevo-
part quoted by the paper concludes with
the 70, wing eloquent plea: "Patronize
home merchants. Let them see your
cash and thrill of bushes success.
Show your loyalty to your home mer-
chant and your home town."
But. our contemporary points out, the
letter was accompanied by a folder the;

offices. 1t was not a home product.

If there is any home enterprise that
is deserving of patronage 1t is the local
ally combined in the smaller cities.
When it comes to working for the town,
to advertising it's resources, to aiding In
newspapers accomplish more in 4 year
han the home merchant does in 4 life
time. The patronage extended to the
loca! printing offices is not a charity.
The patron gets the worth of his money
and at the same time keeps alive insii-
tutions that are as necessary in This
age of the world as are the schools.
When these facts are presented to the
local merchants In the right light they
may be able to see that the perpetual
campaign carried on by the home press
against the mail order houses and de-
long as the benefciaries of thai cam
paign use stationery furnished by bak-
ing powder companies and jobb.ng
houses, and order their special printing
from the large offices in metropolitan
centers. And back of all this is the
insincerity, the cant. the hollow ~pretens

plainly apparent in most of the appeals
sent out to citizens asking them to
''patronize home merchants" or those
of them who do not p%atronize the adj
