AS a rule. that sheep breeder is
most successful who breeds as nearly
in straight line as the requirements

points of an expected choice animal

Nothing should be more gradual
than the development OF the power

There is no question but that the
great scarcity OF reliable farm help
Is acting as stimulus to sheep rails

one man is able TO take care of a
large floek OF sheep makes the In

Make More Iron.

It is a fact worth recording in
proof of the progress made by the
German iron industry that the num-
ber of the workmen has not risen in
proportion to the increase of pro-
duction. In 1895 the production
amounted to 5,500,O00 tons, and the
workmen numbered 24,O59; in 1904
the production had risen TO 10000

the quantity produced per head OF
workmen employed amounted to 227
tons, the quantity had risen In 1904
to 285 tons. That is to say, the to-
tai number of workmen increased
during the decade 1895 TO 1904 by
forty-seven per cent, but the guam

When spring comes be careful
