One of the best propositions we no.
ticed listed for sale in a recent auc-
ton was a flock of forty bure bred
Shropshires. We say best because
there was nothing else on the list
which put to its best possible use
would do so much good to the man
who bought it as these sheep. Rightly
handled they will give an easier return
than any other resource on the farm.
For at least seven months in the year
they will get their living from the
weeds on the farm. which are worse
than useless: will convert this into fer
tilizcr. which every farm needs, in
much larger quantities than it gets.
while the lambs can be finished for

The wool ferches a high price and will
add snug sum TO the bank account.
1t is better TO start with twenty sheep
than sixty and get experience as one
goes along. which II unfavorable

Kids that are allowed the run of all

More boys go to the bad every year
because they are not made to feel that
they amount to something than from
any other cause The ball is started
to rolling when they are little fellows
and treated as il they were all round
nuisances. and it's kept up until the
job Is finished. Those who have q
hand in this process Of degeneration
apparently forget that the boys land
girls are the best asset the country
has. not excepting all the blue ribbon
winners at the big stock shows. Give
the boys something to do and try to
cultivate in them a feeling that they
amount to something in the busy work
aday life and many of them will be
saved from failure and utter misery
