few good sheep, and certainly in this
day, when there are so many good
breeders striving to excel, offering
their stock at very moderate prices,
there is no excuse for any farmer
to still be growing scrubs. A few
sheep can be kept on every farm
with a very small outlay and with
profitable results. 1t is only when
one undertakes to make speciality
of the sheep business that expense
becomes apparent and trained expe-
rience necessary. A few sheep will
keep fat picking up weeds and
brush along the fence, feed that
would not otherwise be utilized.
They not only do this, but they keep
the farm clean, which is of even as
much Importance to the following
crop as it is a benefit to the sheep
themselves. By all means, every
faremr ought to grow few sheep
which he would find source of profit
by producing two crops a year and
without any apparent cost, as com
pared with the cost of producing
any crop that is regularly grown upon
the farm for sale.

Method of Castration.

A correspondent OF veterinary
exchange says: "The most successful
method of castrating bulls is to take
them when young-before they get to
their feet, and while helpless, if you
can find them at that age. But young
and old, treat them alike. After a calf
has reached from four to six months
tie him firmly by the head Have an
assistant to hold him firmly by the
tail. Stand behind the calf, and selz-
ing the end of the scrotum, with
sharp knife cut one-third OF the
length of the scrotum off. The tes-
ticIes will then hang in the "striffen"
so you may take one at a time be-
tween thumb and finger and pull
down until you can catch it with both
hands and pull gently until you have
drawn cord and 'striffen" all out,
leaving nothing to clog or stop the
opening. Use a preparation made OF
one-half pint of lard, one-fourth pint
of turpentine and two tablespoonful
of salt Mix we'll, take on the fingers
a spoonful of the mixture and insert
in the cavity, rubbing we'll around
the wound, and you will never have
to catch calf to treat it, nor Will you
ever lose one from castration."

this trait more from the dam than

one of the little fellows squeal while
handling them. Teach her to know
you are friend to her and she will
trust you; so much SO that you can
change her location, carrying her
pigs in a basket, and she will follow
you to her new home and make no
fuss. Select your SOW with a view

The Wool Problem.

More attention is now being paid
to the wool problem than has been
apparent for many years. A great
deal of it is due to the advance in
many grades of wool which has ia
ken place in the past few months.
The demand for good wool is still
strong, and bids for next years clips
are active, and buyers are anxious
to make purchases, even at this early
date.
AS a rule buying clips in advance
is risky in more ways than a fear
that prices will go down. One years
