Try
Sheep delight in upland pastures,
where dry footing prevail s, no matter
how poor the pasture. Nevertheless,
there are but few farms, fertile or
unfertile. upon which one of the
many breeds will not thrive. 1t has
been truthfully remarked that sheep
will get more sustenance from poor
land and do the land more good at
the same time than any other class
of live stock, And this is not ALL In
these days Of scarce and high-priced
labor, sheep raising might be looked
upon as factor in offsetting this SER
ious conditions. For conserving fer
tility of the soil, or renovating the
WORKOUT farm, nothing equals sheep.
1t is ia lacy to suppose that sheep
cannot be made profitable on high
priced land, since, on some of the
| richest farms in England. sheep are
kept in large numbers. and it is a
question if the rest of some of them
could be paid without the help of the
flock. Certainly there is no other
klno OF i've stock on the average
farm that gives so prompt and sure
returns; since they will live largely on
odd srowths of the farm. Although it
is we'll to use sheep as a scavenger
at certain seasons of the year. it is
not advisable to treat them as an
everlasting scavenger
There are thousands of farms upon
which sheep would subsist with lit e
more than the weeds and brush with
which they are overrun, and which
they would convert into the best of
fertilizer and distribute more evenly
than any other animal on the farm.
and would give double returns in
wool and lambs for the privilege of
doing the work. Sheep manure is
worth as much, pound for pound, as
most of the high-priced artificial fer
tilizers
1t is claimed that seeds eaten by
sheep do not terminate, which is
more than can be said of seeds eaten
by some other farm stock. Sheen
are particularly fond of buckthorn
and plaintain when in seed.
In clearing up stubble fields. moth
ing quite equals small flock of
sheep. In some instances sheep
would be profitable even if no return
other than their work of clearing I'D
the weeds and fertilizing the farm.
The idea of sheep killing our pas
lures is a fallacy, for the densest pas
lures in the world are found in Eng.
land, where the land is more thickly
populated with sheep, and, further.
the idea that sheep will not thrive
with other stock is untrue-where
the small flock is considered. at least
Never, perhaps, was there a more
desirable time for introducing small
hocks of sheep to the farm than now
Where there is one flock kept there
should be ten. Contrary to general
opinion, there need be no special
provision made for taking care of a
Few head of sheep on the average

in war They are one of the essentials
of transport, for railway lines, even
where they exist, are generally con-
gested and frequently cut or de-
stroyed by the enemy. Mr.. Haldane
has therefore, set himself to organize
an adequate supply of army horses for
any emergency. Anyone who wants a
useful horse, young and quiet, and fit
TO ride or drive can now obtain it from
the war office for nothing, subject to
certain conditions and restrictions. The
object of those conditions IS to secure
that the horse will be kept fit and

LONDON, April S.-Contemporary
English writers are not given to eXpa-
tiating on the glores of spring to the
extent practiced by Americans, yet the
spring of this year would justify any
ones bursting into song over it's beau
ty and mildness. A premature spring
is not unusual in England but the
present weather is unprecedented. Vls-
itors from the Continent as well as
the goodly number of Americans who
come in larger crowds every year have
been exceptionally fortunate in timing
their trips, for it is doubtful if any
where on earth nature is more beauti-
full than in England in springtime.

ure of noble sportsmen Poultry farm
ers in some parts live in a state or
terrorism, and one man is reported
to have lost $4,000 in few years. The
protection of foxes, indeed, is largely
responsible for the backwardness of the
poultry industry in this country, to the
detriment not only of the poultry keep
er. but of the farmer who would sup
ply the grain for food. Miss Galbraith,
a poultry keeper, has raised the stand
ard of revolt and proposes to form
secret society for the assassination
of foxes.
England need have no fear of losing
prestige upon the sea. regardless of the
plans of other countries, as long as her
naval program is continued upon the
present imposing scale A study of the
latest plans shows that there are now
under construction seven battleships OF
the Dreadnaught type, three armored
cruisers, nine protected cruisers, two
unarmored cruisers, 81 destrOyers and
nine submarines. To these will be added
in the course of the ensuing financial
year five large armored ships, five pro-
tected cruisers, 20 destrOyers and an
unspecified number of submarines, to
cost when completed a sum of $500

BOY HERO

A little boy of seven, Maurice
Neon, vas regarded with wonderful
interest and tenderness by a vast as
semblage at the Sorbonne, Paris,
when he was perched on a table on
the platform to receive a prize for
an extraordinary deed of heroism.
just a twelvemonth ago he was
playing near some salt marshes in
Vendee with a child of four, when
it fell into a pool, and he went
bravely in after it with the water up
to his shoulders, and never relaxed
his efforts until he had got his
companion, who was half buried in
the mud at the bottom, safe again
on dry ground. The child was quite
unconscious, but after an hours care
full attention it was revived. His fa-
Their, who had brought him up to
Paris, and who is himself a gallant
seaman, could not refrain from
tears as the account of his sons
brave deed was read out to that de-
lighted assemblage.

The story of how Anthony Hope

teresting one.
By profession Mr.. Hawkins is a
lawyer; but he was always a book
worm. Many years ago he met a
widely known editor who was so
struck with the way he discussed
literature hal he asked him if he
ever did any writing himself, and
that if so would he allow him to
see some Of his work.
The young lawyer was not long
in producing n of his manuscripts.
~H'm," said the editor, after read
ing a few pages, "want to sell it,"
Mr.. Hawkins jumped at the
chance, suggesting the modest re-
enumeration of s. a thousand words.
"Ill give you several times that
amount end we'll start publishing
right away" said the editor.
1t was not long before Mr.. Haw-
kins received his first proofs signed
"Anthony Hope" he was undecided
about adding his last name. 1T

CURIOUS GLASS.

Platinised glass is a very curious
invention. a piece of glass is coated
with an exceedingly thin layer Of a
liquid charged with platinum, and
then raised to a red heat. The
platinum becomes united to the glass
in such a way as to form an odd
kind of mirror. The glass has not
really lost its transparency, and yet
if one places it against a wall and
looks at it he sees his image as in an
ordinary looking glass. But when
light is allowed to come through the
glass from the other side, as when
it is placed against a window, it APP
pears perfectly transparent like or
binary glass.

coNvIcr's CURIOUS POSITION.

The police of Msrseilles are wor-
ried concerning a curious dilemma
which confronts them. On April II,
a man named Joseph Edel died at
the Hospital of the Conception, and
was buried. He was a returned con-
vict. The other week two police
men arrested Joseph Edel in the
main street of Marseilles. The man
who had died in the hospital had.
escaped from the French settlement,
and, before doing SO, had stolen Jo-
seph Edel's papers. The police are
now in a quandary. Joseph Edel
has been arrested, and ought to go
to prison for returning to a coun-
try which does not want him, but,
legally, Joseph Edel is dead, and by
French law he may commit any
crime he likes-murder included
without fear Of punishment for, be-
ing dead, his country's laws will
have nothing to do with him. The
Marseilles police are now trying to
have the death certificate altered,
but this will be a lengthy process,
and, meanwhile, they will be obliged
to set their dead" prisoner, the real
Joseph Edel, at liberty.

MANS NOSE THE LIMIT.

One of Judge Lindsay's stories is
of a poor Irishman who was arrest
ed in Denver, Col, on the Fourth OF
July for punching another mar in
the face. When the judge asked
him if he was guilty he said: "Sure,
that's what Pm here to find out"
The judge told him he was charged
with striking a man. sBut wasn't

i have a bit of fun?" he asked.
