Don't Mac Each Other.

Young wives and husbands can

probable shipwreck they will make of.
their happiness if they yield to that
ill temper that expresses itself in
discourtesy, want of compliance,
unnecessary opposition, and above
all, that most disastrous amusement
of "nagging" and creating a row.
Hundreds of households have gone
wrong from the mere want of check
ing in time the habit of annoying as
relief to momentary feelings of
irritation or discomfort. The wife
who gets In the way of opposing or
'fchecking" her husband, of oppos-
ing him in small things and standing
out in larger ones; the husband who
is sneering, tempestuOus, tyrannical,
fault-fnding; perhaps neither side
knowing the whole extent of its folly,
but just giving way to it as more
easy than to fight and conquer it.
These young people are doing their
best to dig the grave OF their married
peace; and some day poor fainting
little love will fall into it stark and
pIumless and will never rise to life
again. III the beginning these little
tiffs and discomforts are made up
with a kiss from and few tears
from her to add cemedt to the recon-
Citation. By still more time this
never comes at all; and things get
into that that chronic state wheL
there is never an open breach and
never formal healing, but an ever
widening rift and never-ending cold
ness. Then the two lives grind and
jar like rusty hinges. The peace of
home, like dying ember, goes out.
Goodness and formality take the place
of tender love and happiness, and
home the heaven on earth, darkly is
yelled and the sunlight of peace and
happiness for ever flown.

What is more, they ate pie with forks,

I do not think it would be wise for
every man to keep sheep. for the rea-
son that In order to be successful with
any class OF animals man must have
love for them. and If man does not
like sheep he would not be likely to
make a success of them There are

any farm.

touch. This makes them especially
VARIABLE about q farm as sort of
scnyenger. 81
They will live on very poor pasture,
where mahy other animals would
starre. Their activity enables them to
travel long distances in search of their
food. and the formation Of their mouths
is such that they can bite very closely
to the ground, enabling them to gather
living from the poorest soils.
Cheap Shelter.
Sheep require very inexpensive build
ings. Almost any sort OF building will
answer the purpose so long as it pro-
teets them from storms In the rough
est weather and Is reasonably dry and
free frOm drafts. There is no other
farm animal for which cheaper build
ings are required
There is comparatively little labor
involved In taking care of a flock of
sheep. / do not know of any animal
that requires less labor in It's feeding
and management
Grind Their Own Grain.
They grind their own grain, which
is another factor which adds to the
cheapness of their maintenance. They
are the best grain grinders which we
have. and the weed seeds consumed by
sheep arc never known to grow after

Root crops are n valuable feed for
stock. especially during the winter,
when they supplement the rations OF
grain aud other dry feed stuffs. They
thrive best In regions having moist
and cool weather but nevertheless
enough heat and sunshine to promote
rapid growth during the growing sea-
son. In many sections Of the northern
states root crops may be grown with
profit. but the fact that their culture is
not so generally understood as It should
be is probably the reason that they
are not grown so extensively IN the
