IL The Farmers,7R 7R eYiew lEery sensibly
says ttati there is 10 Zbeitter way to
get a irst-class flock than by always
keeping the best eve llambs and
breeding to asram Of quality. In the
course of a few years the best sheep
in the flock will be of very noticeable
quality while the poores. stock will
be as good as the best of focks from
which the best have been sold off
each year. Many man has taken
even the scrub varieties Of sheep and
by using pure-bred ram and keep
ing the best from his progeny has in
few years built up flock of,Virtual-
ly pure bred sheep. 1t issonly in the
sections of country where little at
tention is paid to sheep breeding that
men would think of letting go of the
best ewes for any reasonable price.
In localities where the breeding Of
sheep has been successfully followed
from generation TO generation the
best are always kept and are regarded
as not being for sale. Under such
condition the buyer feels satisfied to
take what he can get, knowing that
1t must from the very circumstances
OF the case be of high quality.

THEIR SKIN TROUBLES CURED.
Two Little Girls Had Eczema Very
Badly-In One Case Child's Hair
CAME Out and Left Bare Patches
Cuticura Met with Success,

81 have two little girls who have been
troubled very badly with eczema. One of
them had it on her lower limbs. 1 did
everything that could hear of for her, but
it did not give in until warm weather, when
it seemingly subsidized. The next winter
when it became cold the eczema started
again and also in her head, where it would
take the hair out and leave bare patches.
At the same tilpe her urps were sore the
whole length of them. l took her to a
physician, but the child grew worse all the
time. Her sisters arms were also affected.

by the time the second lot was used their

pocToRING POULTRY. ).

Unless the farmer has nothing else
to do he cannot afford to spend much
time doctoring sick chickens that are
worth only twenty-five to fifty cents
at the most. If they were valuable
show birds or breeders it would make
a difference, but such fowls are sell
dom found on the farm. Poultry doc
toling is not much Of a science as yet,
and is so full OF uncertainty that we
are not justified in spending much ef-
fort on a chicken that can: be easily
replaced. OF course, doctoring in
this sense meanssthe real thing and
not simply little ordinary treatment
for scaly legs or indigestion or some
thing of that kind. Such complaints
can be cured, and it is always worth
while to make the effort. But when
the fowl has roup, genuine cholera or
some such contagious ailment, it is
not very good policy to waste very
much time doping the fowl. Another
point is that sometimes the remedies
prescribed for sick fowls would cost
more than the average farm scrub is
worth. We are not trying to advo-
cate an inhuman treatment for fowls,
but simply looking at the matter from
a cold business standpoint. More
over, we certainly should not wish to
breed from fowls that succumb to
every possibility of disease.-Epito.

THE CREAM SEPARATOR.

Here IS a pretty good illustration
of how some people do things, and
when their cream and butter don't
score up high, blame the separator
for it. Whoadoes this touch. viz:
q man would ebe downright mad and
take it as an insult II heswere invited
to sit down to a meal in a home
where the dishes had not been pre-
viously washed. No one could or
would stomach IT, to eat of of
plates that had notsbeen washed for
two or three days andThad been the
parade ground Of boards Of flies.
A whole lot OF people are doing
worse tnan letting the dishes go un-
washed. They use the milk separa-
tor two or three days.and often a
week without washing ie. Phew!
At the>same time, if they had han
died the milk in pans and crooks in
the old way Notwithstanding every
time using them, they know how poor
the milk and cream would be. And
SO the separator needs cleaning with
boiling water in the. same Way.-In-

"Lo! on narrow neck of land,
When to BE Most Glad.

Has Christ become to us such a
living, bright reality that no post Of
duty shall be irksome, that as His
witnesses we may return to the quiet
homeside, or to the distant service
among the heather, with hearts more
than glad, more than satisfied, and
most glad, most satisfied, when most
sad, and most stripped, it may be, Of
earthly friends and treasures?
Let US put all our treasures into
His hand; then He will never need to
take them from US on account Of
heart idolatry; and If In wisdom and
love He remove them for time, He
will leave no vacuum, but Himself fill
the void, Himself wipe away the tear.
