Points ON Prontable sheen.

A careful observer Of agricultural

pressed with many points In the Sc
lection II profitable range sheep. 1t
should be recognized that we need as
large bodied sheep as possible, with
out coarseness, for such an animal
would have large surface for the
growth of wool and would produce a
large bodied, thrifty lamb for mutton
purposes.
The body must be vel! covered with
wool of even density and fineness, tho
wool extending over the under parts
and down the legs to the feet, that they
may not chill when lying on the cold
ground or snow, but 1t should not cover
the face to SUCH an extent as to cause
blindness. The legs must be loug
enough to enable the sheep u walk
from four to six miles a day over the
range for food. This sheep must be
thrifty and quick maturing, but stlll
capable of standing range conditions
and remain productive from seven TO
nine years. This sheep should serve a
dual purpose in measure, and be cap
able of making good cross with some
Issutton type for production of the best
fee,ier lam6S, so that the owner will
find ready market at the best prices
for his surplus increase, and be able -

Everybody recognizes the American
eagle as the emblem Of the United
States, but not everybody knows that
before the eagle was adopted the popu-
lar symbol Of the young nation was
rattlesnake.
Early in the revolutionary war flags
used to be carried by the colanists
which bore a Fattlesnake with this mot
to: Don't tread on me-"

lieved that the reptile was specially 1T
ting as an emblem OF the national

willingly attack man but when hard
driven II becomes vicious: nevertheless.

Cultivating the Soil.


The Importance of frequent and
thorough cultivation of the soil Is
now admitted to achieve the largest
crops This knowledge was known to
the ancients, who worked the land
with primitive Implements. Even the
untutored Indian, with his. stone hoe
stirred the ground around his plants
OF corn to stimulate their growth.
The initial preparation of the soil
for perfect cultivation is performed
by the pillow, which stirs and turns
over the soil to a Uniform depth. Mod
ern plows are manufactured for all
kinds of soil, from the stiff clay to
the light, sandy loans and the fine,
smooth, black land of the prairie. The
angie Of the moldboard determines
the compactness or disintegration Of
the field that has been plowed. The
fine, black prairie loans need the
highly polished steel plows with
oblique angled moldboards to turn the
soil. An obtuse angled pillow will choke
In fine, black loan, but viii work adj
mirably in sandy loans The sharp
ahgled moldboard throws the furrow
over with great force, making the land
friable and easily cultivated. In
breaking up seeded land the long, OBJ
tuse-angled moldboard is necessary
TO lay the burrows down smoothly,
where they can be firmed by the
roller and subsequently cultivated with
the disk harrow.
Working the soil In turn makes
the soil work. Cultivation performs
the twofold purpose 4 liberatihg plant
food and destroying weeds. The earth
has been cursed with weeds to COM
pei man to work for his bread. Till
ing the soil makes it loose and fria5le
and permits the roots of plants to more
easily appropriate the nour.shment Of
the soil. Tillage admits the air into
the soil and also the rain, which I'M
part fertility to the land. Cultivation
uElocks the great chemical laboratory
OF nature and releases the nourishuIent
needed by vegetation. Thorough cul-
tivation unlocks the great storehouse
or nature and insures the husbandmaf
bcuntiful crops. The stalk OF corn is
like an infant who needs nodiishment
to promote development, and tiIlage re-
leases the elements Of the soil needed
for the evolution of the matured corn.
