Every farmer interested in sheep hus.

Every farmer interested in sheep hus-
bandry should testify his appreciation
of the valued services of Representative
W. B. Kendall, Bowdoinham, who, not a
member of the agricultural committee,
did for the industry what that COM
mittee failed to do, secured at the last
moment the passage Of an amendment
which provides that
"The municipal officers shall investi'
gate any complaint, and IL satisfied thai
damage was committed BY dogs or wild
animals within the limits of their city
town or plantation, they shall estimate
the amount thereof, and in case said
sheep or other animals are killed, thai
an amount equal to the value OF the
same and fifty per cent iE excess thereof
be paid to such owner from the town
treasury, and in case any sheep, lambs
or other animals are bitten or otherwise
injured by dogs or wild animals an
amount equal to the damage done which
shall be estimated at not less than one
half the value of the sheep, shall be paid
to such owner from the town treasury"
Give Mr.. Kendall credit for pushing
this through and securing additional
compensation for stock injured, though
this is no compensation for the damage
done the flock or its future. No mar

Common Phrases That Have Had Their
Origin Aboard Ship.
1t is remarkable what number OF
common expressions In use every day
come to us from the sea. You grumble
at third party for Showing In bis

qulres after your health. "Oh, first
rate, thanksw you reply, using term
derived from the days Of old wooden
line Of battle ships. Probably each OF
Us knows of some one who is sailing
under false cOlOrs."
Politicians are not infreQuently
"thrown overheard" by their party
when they disappoint expectations. We
call tall buildings "skyscrapers," a
term originally purely nautical. "Close
quarters" is very common expires
sion, which, like "first rate" dates
from the time of wooden fighting
ships. The quarters" were protec
tiOns erected along the bulwarks be-
hind which sailors could lie low and
which were used to help to repe
boarders.
There are others, too-"half seas

Hungry Farms.
INTELLIGENT PREPARATION OF GROUND
NECESSARY FOB RICH REAPINa.

There is so much solid sense In every
paragraph of q recent editorial in al
exchange that 1t will bear reprint. Th,
editor says:
"Yankee farmers of the right sort feel
the hunger of their farms, as II it wert
their own. Nothing on earth gives them
such a satisfied feeling as to see the
poor piece made rich, and the barren
stony spot producing paying crop
When some neglected source Of fertility
is discovered and saved and put upon
the land, the farmer feels as If he were
enjoying a full meal. When crops are
sold it worries him to think of the soil
richness that is being carried away, and
so he feeds out all he can upon the farm.
When he buys grain he knows he Is
| feeding the soil and Is consoled for the
outlay. Nothing is wasted. That which
others consider only fit to get rid of, lie
regards as q mouthful of food for his
hungry farm and would as soon think oi
throwing away loaf Of bread or q
bright silver coin. When at last his
farm grows fat and sleek with good
feeding, and the broad acres cover their
ribs with tall, healthy green crops, then
the farmer is q happy man. He has
worked to feed his farm, and the farm is
now working double time to feed him" !"
To feed the farm intelligently we
must consider we'll the nature Of our
soils and ascertain their needs. Our
heavy soils must be supplied with hu-
mus or vegetable matter, something
turned under to tighten and which real
ly assists growth of crops. We must
have drainage for such soils, and we
must not be possessed of the idea that If
our soils are of clay, they contain the
elements of fertility in condition to
Immediately contribute to the growth of
plant life. Clay soils naturally contain
potash, yet we can in no wise be sure Of
the content of available potash.
We have field upon our own farm of
clay loan; actual analysis demonstrated
the fact that potash Is abundant In the
soil; yet the grain which is grown on
this field shows In great degree the
need of this element. The grain lacks
development and the straw stiffness, and
until we applied the soluble salts, we
were invariably compelled to reap 1t by
hand. In a great many soils, phos-
phoric acid is deficient and must be
supplied through slaughterhouse prod
ucts (which in some instances contain
nitrogen also), or the soluble rock phos-
pilates. Sandy and clay soils must have
humus, or they will not be productive; it
is fully as important as the application
of fertilizing materials.
All of the available barn manure must
60 on to the fields, the sooner after
making the better, that none of the
substance be lost. Our feeding stuff
varies frequently in value for manure
usually there ia content of nitrogen
suffic. .ent for our purposes, but as most
farmers are aware, it is deficient in the
proportionate amount of potash and
phOsphoric acid. Hence we add these,
preferably before planting time, to the
manured fields.
Intelligence is the thing needed in our
farming, for as W prepare our ground,
so shall we reap (making a new and true
adage. )-E. A. Season in New England
