DeyelOping Suitable Sheep.

A writer in the Shepherds Criterion
says that "to develop good flock of
breeding sheep for wool and mutton l
would begin with ewes that are half
CotsMold and half Merino and mate
that with a buck that is full blooded
Shropshire. In this cross you get a
grade Of sheep that is hard to" beat
for both wool and mutton. By this
method I once got a twin lamb that
sheared, when a little more than year
old. sixteen pounds of good wool and
when a year and half old the carcass
weighed 100 pounds. cross my sheep
back and forth as my judgment tells
me is best. If the sheep are getting
too wrinkIy and the wool too short 1
get either q Cotswold, Oxford or
Shropshire buck, and if the fleece is
getting too hairy and light in weight l
breed back to the Merinos.'

Good yyhitewnah For Trees.

In the New England States white
wash is frequently applied to frult
trees, especially apple trees, 'and seems
to have the effect of keeping off fungus
and insect pests. The whitewash as
used there is generally made by simply
shaking the lime with cold water. But
if would be better to slake the lime
with hot water. 1t may be made to
stick better by adding some SKINNED
milk. Some even heat some glue. and
when it has become thin liquid dilute
If with hot water and add it TO the
wash. This still further helps the
sticking quality.

Roots For tho PIG.

Wherever roots are used as part OF
their rations, quite remarkable results
are obtained. apparently out of all pro-
portion to the feeding value of the
roots. This seems to show that the
roots serve to render the grain food
more digestible. Although pigs do not
like raw turnips, yet when the turnips
are cooked and mixed with raw pota-
toes or cabbage, they will eat them
readily. When a small amount of
bran is fed with this mash good gains
are made.-A nerican Cultiyator.

To Complete the Ration.

We read 4 great deal nowadays in
the farm papers about balanced ra-
tions. Such information enables I be
farmer to feed his animals so that he
can get the most profit out of them for
the cost Of the food. Such information
is good, and we want to encourage it,;
but those who feed animals should al
ways bear in mind that ration is
never perfectly balanced unless there
is a little kindness" mixed in with
it. You need have no fear Of using
too much Kindness" for the more you
use the better: but very, very grave
results oftentimes happen to those who
do not make use of it at all.-Weekly

Some admire the maiden queenly,
One who moves about serenely,
Dignified, divinely tall
Others much prefer her small.

Then I like the large and stately

Really, admire then all.
Some like girls with animation,
Such as shine in conversation.
These the golden youth enthral

Quiet, shy ones have their inning:
Some consider them more winning.
As I said in the beginning.

None is barred. My heart is spacious,
