Pure Breed sheep.


There is too much desire~on the part
of farmers to change breeds, to cross
breeds, to have mixture Of breeds,
and thus have nothing that is pure.
While such system is followed farnl-
ers can make but little advancement in
breeding fine stock. There will be no
incentive to have the best of any breed.
Everything on the farm, so it seems,
must be sold for what 1t is worth for
beef or pork or mutton. The high
prices obtained by the farmers of some
states, on account of keeping breeds
pure, are not obtained where only the
common kinds are kept. A pure breed
can be kept more profitably than mix
ed one. Each breed has its peculiar
characteristics, and the farmer should
first determine what he wants in an
animal, or of an animal, and then get
the breed that most nearly meets his
wants. Then he should keep it pure.
He can keep the breed pure, and keep
it improving, too If he uses care in his
selection of breeding animals. If he
has choice animals to sell, he can get
as good prices as he has had to pay.
He can sell his stock for three or four
times what 1t is worth for meat. 1t
costs him no more to raise it, and any
surplus stock he has he can convert in
to meat just as well as with the mixed
breeds IL certain quantity of food
is to be converted into mutton and wool
it will pay best to use the pure breeds,
for the reason that with good stock,
better results are obtained in proper
ton to outlay than when the flock Is
not uniform. Quick growth and quail
ity will bring higher prices and make
sheep breeding desirable on all we'll
regulated farms.

LANGUAGE THAT DISAPPOINTED

All That a Strong Man Said Under
Great ProvOcatfon.
81 don't like to hear man swear as
a general thing" said the girl of some
experience, to a Providence Journal
writer, ''but there are times when it
seems justifiable, and then I like to
know that a man can relieve his feel
ings. The other day had what was
a real disappointment, though it's
dreadful to admit it.
81 was walking up Westminster
street with man you know, and his
hat blew off, fell under the wheels Of
trolley and was absolutely ruined
new hat, too! What do you think
that big, strong man said? He picked
up the remains, looked at them for a
time as If he were struggling with
some strong emotion and then observ-
ed mildly, Dear mev"
$50 you wanted to hear him swear 2"
inquired the man to whom she poured
out her tale.
well, thought he would use at
least one Dig IL, repned the girl.
my dear GIRL said her companion,
"that man you were with is probably
the most profane man in Providence,
and on what you might call ordinary
occasions he can swear for half an
hour without repeating himself. There
are, however, times when words is in
adequate and he doubtless recalled
that all the cuss words he knew were
too feeble for the occasion. l assure
you there was more heartfelt bitter
ness in that mild expression than in
all the oaths he knew"
Perhaps" said the girl, "but it
really seemed so pitiful that wanted
to say things for him"

chicago,s Male Death Rate.

Health Commissioner Evans Of Chicago
in a recent bulletin makes the statement
that in the last seven months Of 1901
about 1900 men died, as compared to
5000 women, and that the death rate as
between men and women is now 80 per
cent, as compared to 10 per cent twenty
years ago. lie attributes the cause of
this to the strenuous life Of the average
Chicago citizen. contributory causes being
the quick lunch, constant exposure and
carelessness. The only remedy in his
opinion. is a return to the simple life of
our fathers

bridge can be built in two and one-half
years. With the completion of the
structure New York will for the first
time find itself In possession of an all

the South and West. Through trains
from Boston may then run to New
York, Philadelphia, Washington, New
Orleans Chicago or any other Southern
or Western city without leaving the
rails.

Late summer Crops.

Among the late crops that may be
mentioned are millet and Hungarian
grass, which, though properly classed
as hay crops, are also fodder crops.
They mature very quickly, and may
be grown in the summer. Sorghum,
which is coming more into use, is also
an excellent fodder crop, the seed be-
ing small and the plants easily grown
in a short interval. There are several
reasons for growing fodder crops. They
fill want in some sections, can be
grown in a short time, and are de-
Tense against an insufficient hay crop.
Such crops, however, should be cut at
the proper time, and should not be al
lowed to remain on the field a day
longer than is necessary. In the case
Of oats the grain must not become hard
nor the straw turn yellow. The green
condition of the straw is important and
in order to secure it in the best condi-
ton the field should be examined daily.
If threatened with drought, cut at all
events, and take off the crop before
it is injured. Millet and Hungarian
grass are often allowed to form the
seedheads. This should be guarded
against, as the hay from these grasses
Is very palatable if the crop is cut
when the first sign of heading appears,
but it is not so readily accepted by
stock If cut later The time of har-
vesting and the preparation of the
green food of live stock are the most
important points to be observed.
