GAMES AND PAsTIMEs.

The game Of polo was played cen
turtles ago in Persia and India. Even
the natives of Bokhara play a similar
game Of ball on horseback.
The game of Switchboard which
seems to be losing its popularity, is
an old pastims. 1t was followed en-
Enthusiastically by the nobility of the
court of James /.
Handball is among the oldest OF Il
games, According to Homer. it orig
mated about the time of the fall of
Troy. and though 1t has passed
through many changes, its principles
are much the same as when it was
played by the ancients.
Horse-racing originated in Eng
land in the reign of King Henry III.
Our forefathers were ca|ptivate1 by
this pastime, and large wagers were
often won and lost in ~favorite horses.
Later, about The time of James l., the
betting fell away from horse-racing
and the contests were run for prizes
of various sorts.
Bowling is one of our games that
originated in the Middle Ages. The
exact date of it's introduction is OBJ
scure; but 1t has been clearly traced
to the thirteenth century. The first
bowling-greens were made in Eng
land. In bad weather these could not
be used to advantage, and this led to
the construction of covered bowling
alleys.
Our game of golf, or goff, as 1t was
formerly called, was a popular sport
in England and Scotland about the
beginning of the seventeenth century.
II was played by the nobility, and
was the favorite pastime of Prince
Henry, son Of James |. Golf sticks
were then called bands" and goii
balls were made of leather and stuffed
with feathers. The principle Of the
game was practically the same then
as 1t is now.

duce this state OF things. | believe in
the majority of cases the trouble re
suits from a lack of knowledge OF a
comparatively new business. What do
| advise? That with sheep, as with
everything else, we should make haste
slowly. A healthy growth is always a
slow one. IL takes but a short time
for a willow to become Il large tree
and it is of little value then. An OAK
may be 30 years in reaching the same
size, but it has a value that Will re-
pay the waiting. Know what Is want
ed before starting in. such as the pur.
pose for which they are to be kept
the breed best for this purpose; the
land on which they are to pasture, and
the kir I of feed and care they should
have. These things can all be learned
by studying the methods Of some sue
cessful neighbor and by reading some
up-to-date works on the subject. Don't
pay e-Xtravagant prices for sheep for
the sake of having them. If one can
not buy as many as he would like at q
fair value, then buy n less number
and grow up a flock. Don't get dis
couraged by q few losses or failures, or
by a drop in prices. One who is al
ways changing from one thing 10 an
other, with every up or down in price,
is generally out too soon and in too
late. Then with intelligent care and
abundance of good feed one should be
reasonably sure OF a moderate profit
from the start.
What of the outlook for the indus
try? Excellent. The last census
shows, and they VINO have been on the
ground tell us, that the number of
sheep in the United States, particular.
ly OF the ranges, is annually growing
less. In many cases the sheep have
followed the cattle. and after they have
eaten what the cattle left, and troddea
the roots into the damp ground, there

SHEEP AS ONE OF THE VALUABLE
ASSETS OF THE FARM
a Conservative View of the Industry by One Who Has
Been Through the Mill"

Men in many respects are like sheep,
which VIII remain contented in rather
poor pasture for 4 long Zine. but let

field, and no matter what is on the
other side, the whole flock will follow.
even though they leave considerable
wool sticking to the rough and untried
places. Sometimes there will be 4
broken leg, and now and then a dead
sheep as a result of the mad rush.
Farmers have let the sheep go OF the
farms, for various reasons. and have
contented themselves with the returns
from improbable cows, or from fields
increasing in weeds and decreasing in
fertility. Now that sheep have begun
TO boom, and wool is bringing fair and
mutton high prices, and those who
have had sheep to sell have made
money, there is beginning to be a rush
into the sheep business not at all dis
similar to that Of the sheep into q new
field. | am glad to see the sheep com
ing back to the farms, for / believe
they are and Will be, as they always
have been, a source of profit. I would
encourage rather than discourage sheer
keeping. says Edward Van Alstyne. in
writing to Rural New Yorker. yet It
has been impressed on my mind that
there should be a danger signal hoist

time in going into any new enterprise.

Why Blackberries Dry Up.

The moisture supply for the grow
ing of small fruits is very irregular.
Sometimes there is too much water,
but more often not enough. Very
many crops have been lost in this To-
cality through lack of the moisture
supply. In some of our very dry sea
sons, b~lackberries especially have been
seriously affected. The b~lackberries
ripen later in the summer than straw
berries and raspberries and SO are
further away from the spring rains.
The result is that when we have a
long dry season in midsummer the
blackberries do not reach any size,
and even dry up on the bushes.

and have the best of success all along
the line to make n money. The
decline in price of over one dollar per
one hundred at a dme when the tend
ency is usually upward shows that
prices were too high. One who has
no experience with sheep cannot eX-
poet the best of success until he has
learned the business. Under present
conditions education is likely to be
costly. Again, one whose experience
with sheep was confined to fine wool
breeds of a generation ago, and who
now starts mas most do-with the
English mutton breeds, will probably
meet with a greater failure than he
who has no knowledge of sheep at all;
because he will be apt to give the same
sort OF care CD to those as he gave
the fine woods; the mutton sheep must
be looked after much more closely
and be better fed.

GOLF YARN BY

Game.

Nicholas Longworth, OF Ohio, is a
golf enthusiast who plays a good game,
n Victor Murdoch, OF Kansas. q golf
enthusiast who plays a very indifer-
ent game, when swapping stories in
the house cloakroom the other day,
says the Washington correspondent of
the Kansas City Times.

a passion for the game. but who com
plioated that fervor with an appetite
for Scotch highballs that was the
