John Fairweather Of Fresno brought

"Are you in favor Of admitting

Profit In Suuahs.

A squad breeder says for the past

fraction over sixty cents a pair Now
with an average, as he places it, OF
six pairs q yulr, we have return OF
$500. The cost of breeding can be
brought inside of ninety cents pair
if bought in large quantities. 1t would
be well to allow 80 cents a pair for
tabor and supplies, as grit, charcoal
tobacco stems, etc, although the ma
nure will. we think, offset this If sold

Of the large profit stories in the squat

aGd such a visit naturally results in 2

hand with it.

Grazing Land.

The grazing of land by mixed stock
of cattle, sheep and horses result in
the land being more easily grazed than
when only one kind is kept. Whore,
however, many sheep are kept with
cattle, the sheep pick out the finest Of
the grass and clovers, and the cattle
do not thrive as we'll But sheep, on
the other hand, eat with avidity and
impunity much that cattle dislike and
avoid, Many pastures, grazed only
with cattle, are often in the spring
time covered with weeds, which a few
sheep mixed in with the cattle would
keep down Horses, when kept in a
pasture by themselves, are very uneven
grazers. A few kept in large cattle
pasture will Craze the rank places
where cattle have previously left their
manure, and also about places where
the land has been trampled. Both
horses and sheep will thrive much bet
ter when they are able to select their
own foods.

The Early pastGrngc.

When stock is given the use of early
green rye the results are not always
satisfactory, and farmers find that the
cattle lose flesh and less milk is given
Rye is one of the most useful plants
for providing early green food at a sea-
son when grass does not appear, but
its injurious effects upon animals Is
not due to the rye being an unsuitable
food, but rather because Of allowing
the animals free access to It. III its ear
ly stages Of growth (Which are really
the times when it is most in demand)
it Is composed almost wholly of water
the proportion of solid matter being
very small. 1t contains several salts
in solution, aud It's effects upon the
bowels are laxative; hence it is not
only weakening, but causes the animals
to lose flesh There is Il right way tc
use early rye, however, and that is tc
allow stock on the rye field but short
time each day at first, and then gradu
ally extend the period of grazing, When
cattle have been kept on dry food for
six months the green rye is to them q
luxury, and If it is allowed them judi
ciously it will improve their condition.
Both rye and crimson clover will be
ready for use in a short time. and they
will always prove profitable crops to
those who keep stock as they shorten
the dryfeeding period of winter. When
the early green foods are given the
stock. and the bowels are affected one
of the indications is that the greer
food is serving as medicine, and should
too much green food have been con.
sumed, give warm mess of corn meal
seasoned highly with salt, and full
allowance of hay. There is no danger
in green food however, if the cows are
not allowed to consume too much but
as every farmer knows there IS liabili
ty of 'bloat'' (hoven) by eating any
kind of green food to excess.

The Garden in Spring.

The first thing to do with q garden
plot is to plow it, and harrow the land
until it is as fine on the surface as t
can possibly be made. If the work is
to be done with Il horse the longer the
rows the better. Use only plump and
sound seed, procured from reliable
seedsmen and use too much seed rather
out the surplus plants than to replant
the vacant places. Use only well-rot-
ted manure, and work it we'll into the
soil If fertilizer is used, let 1t be
broadcasted and narrowed in. The say
ing of labor will largely depend upon
watching the weeds. If the wheel hoe
or wheel cultiyator is used just as the
weeds are appearing above ground the
top soil will always be kept fine and
loose, and fewer weeds will appear
after each cultivation. Cultivated in
that manner, an ordinary garden can
be worked in an hour or two; but II
the weeds are allowed to grow until
they are several inches high they will
tnjure the garden plants ana increase
the labor fourfolG. That is the main
point-to cultivate as soon as the weeds
terminate. Do not put in the seeds too
soon while the ground is cold, as they
may fail to terminate. When the ap.
pie trees are in bloom is the best time
for planting the garden crops as tn"
ground will then be in excellent condl-
ton. warm. and the danger from frost
