SHEEP PROSPECTS.

The sheep business has had its ups
and downs during the past fifty years.
We have sold wool for 81 a pound
and for 10 cents, have seen sheep sell
for 80 cents per head and at So for the
run of the flock The situation today is
more encouraging than we have ever
before known 1t. The American people
are acquiring wonderful taste for
mutton. and the mutton chop or the
mutton roast, from being rarity on
bills of fare at hotels and restaurants,
Is becoming almost as common as sir
loin or porterhOuse steak. So great ia
the demand for mutton as meat food
that 1t is said that we are steadily eat
ing up our focks. We believe that the
sheep may now be taken up as one Of
the most important and profitable of
all our domestic animals, with the GER
tainty that no future condition is likely
to arise which will make the keeping
Of them Improbable. There should be
a flock of seventy-five well bred ewes
on every quarter section farm, and
such flock would prove to be as good
money makers as the hens in the poul-
try yard or the dairy herd In selecting
a few sheep as the foundation for a
flock reference should be had to their
meat making quality more than to
their ability to produce fleece.

BACK YARDS.

The tendency in connection with
most homes, whether i'm city or coun-
try, is to have back yard dedicated
to a dumping ground for all the odds,
ends and debris of modern living. This
back yard is quite often the great blem-
ish in connection with otherwise pleas
ant homes. There is really no real need
to permit this accumulation Of ash
piles, old shoes, boxes and barrels,
empty cans, bits of lumber and trash
of all kinds. BY having proper recep-
tacles for garbage and removing it
often the back yard may be easily made
just as attractive as the front yard.
IL there are unsightly outbuildings and
fences, a few vines will hide them.
Morning glories, hop vine, Virginia
creeper, Or, better yet, grapevines.
have great mission in connection with
nearly all the back yards of our Ameri
can homes. The grape will thrive lusti
ly under the stimulus of soapsuds,
dishwater and the castaway bones OF
the kitchen. In some of our cities reg
ular campaign of back yard improve
ment is being carried on to the won
derful improvement Of every place
treated. The good citizen will not only
have an attractive front yard to his
home, but will also have a clean back
yard

CARp AND TIE FISH POND.

A friend of ours finds that with a
little trouble he can make first class
fish pond upon his farm, one fed from
the water of an artesian well. He
writes us that he is thinking Of putting
carp, black bass and croppies In the
pond and wants to know IL this is the
right thing to do. 1t is not. A few
years ago the carp was introduced into
many of the streams and lakes Of the
country under the supposition that 1t
would prove valuable food fish. 1t
turns out that II is regular FISH hog, a
water scavenger, gross feeder upon
the spawn Of all other fish and SO
rolls the water it lives in that other
fish will not stay with IT. The value
Of this fish as food is very low indeed,
being the next thing to worthless. In
many places every effort is made to
get rid Of this fish, and no greater mis-
take could well be made than to intro
duce it into fish pond. Our friend
will find that the black bass, wall eyed
pike, perch. sunfish and croppies will
live together all right in his pond. and
he cannot do better than to use them.

LOOSE ENDS.

We passed the place the other day.
farmyard filed with motley array of
odds and ends, broken down seeder,
most of the teeth also, defunct bind
er, barn doors on one hinge, fences
patched with old rails, the front yard
grown up to brambles and tall grass
except where the pigs, which ran at
large there, had rooted clear space.
In the nearby fields we noticed that
the haystacks were lopsided and that
the field had been poorly raked, and
In spite of the fact that the time was
past the middle of September a field
of oats, storm beaten and discolored,
still stood in the shock. An overdrawn
picture, you say, or perhaps the home
of some shiftless renter. Neither, good
friends; merely the abiding place of
him who farms with loose ends. This
man owned his farm and was prac-
tically out Of debt; hence the excuse Of
poverty cannot be urged. What then
Loose ends! The barn door and the
front yard wilderness, the patched
fence and the implanted house were
still waiting for the rainy day, which
never came, when they should be re-
paired. The broken down and weather
beaten machinery gave mute evidence
Of the shed which was never built to
cover them, while the grain stood in the
shock waiting for the thrashing ma
chine which was still coming. Just
such pictures as the above give black
eye to life on the farm in the minds
of many people. OF course none Of
our readers has home in the least re-
sembling the one described, but per-
haps your neighbor has, and if you
think it would be Of any use you might
put this little word picture where he
could cast his eye upon it, thereby be-
ing the means Of making him see his
place as others see it and bringing
himself to the realization that the farm,
like other walks of life, calls for
careful attention to loose ends If 1t is
to be either pleasant or successful.

We read much today about the tr0u-
bles Of the unemployed people of Eng
land. 1t seems that there are hundreds
Of thousands of people with nothing to
do and nothing to eat. In this connec-
ton We note that the game preserves
Of the nobility are constantly being en-
larged and vast areas of fertile land
being inclosed and devoted solely to
the propagation Of game to make sport
for the lords and barons. Nothing bet
ter could be done for England today
than to break up these enormous reser-
vati0ns included In these game pre-
serves and put these hungry people to
work on the land to produce food TO
eat A condition such as this would
produce an insurrection In this country
and appeals loudly to the statesmen Of
England for correction.

One Of the great wastes in the west
ern farms is the waste and loss Of al
most all the valuable fertilizer made in
the feed yards where cattle and hogs
are fattened for market. The common
way Is to select dry side hill for the
yard, In order that such yard may be
kept clean and dry, with the result that
all the manure is washed out and In
solution goes into the creek. Where
this Is done there is waste of fertility
which soon tells on the farm.

If we had nice farm with good
buildings and pleasant home we
would not sell the privilege to some
fakir or agent of painting his adver-
tisement on the barn or disfguring the
pasture lot with billboard proclaim
ing the merit of some brand of cigar
or patent medicine. This is a cheap
business. The whole country is mar
red with this sort of advertising, and
