There are many reasons why farm
Prof Thomas Shaw in The Home
stead. The relatively small number
that is kept on the average farm is
one of the remarkable things about
the live stock industry in the United
States. The totals of this class of
stock are not much more than they
were 30 years ago. This is all the
more remarkable in view of the ire
mendous expansion that has been 60
ing on in almost every line of agri-
culture.
Sheep should be kept on the average
farm to aid in keeping down weed
life. When weeds are young and
sappy the sheep are in a sense insati-
able devourers Of the same. There are
but few kinds of weeds that they
will not trim down and consume and
turn into good mutton If they have
access to the same at a comparatively
early stage in the growth of the
weeds. When other pasture is not
overabundant this cropping down of
weeds will be more complete than
under other conditions. They will
even keep down, at least in consid-
cradle degree, the growth of Canada
thistles when thus managed. They
are equally ravenous also for the
seeds of the weeds. When these have
been formed and even when mature,
and when weed seeds have been de-
voured by them, they are so finely
ground that they do not grow again
when dropped upon the ground. l
have watched sheSp when first turned
Into grain pasture to see what was
their first choice. When such weeds
rs lambsquarter were present and
quite young and succulent, they
would take these first in preference to
the grain.
They should be kept to consume the
waste products. On every farm these
abound more or less They abound
not only in the form of weeds, but in
the form of grasses of various kinds.
These are found numerously in the

BIRDS EXCEL AS

Weeds, as we'll as insects, are enc.

eating birds, according to Mr.. Pratt,
are the native American tree sparrow
and the chipping sparrow. Their
cousins, the English sparrows, how.
ever, can by no means be included in
the list.
Rats, mice and snakes are the prey
Of a numerous class of birds, many OF
which are often hunted and branded
as great destroyers of property. If IT
were not for owls and hawks the
country would be overrun with 70.
dents, according to Mr.. Pratt. The
crow has his place for good as a de.
stroyer of field mice and the farm owl
is the night Waterman who hunts
gophers, mice and snakes.
Not all hawks are useful. Those
that circle around In the sky and
swoop down with stealthy movement
on their prey are great boons, but the
darter, those that take their prey on
the wing, are ruthless destroyers.

INJURY DONE IN
REMOVING WEEDS
Most Beneficial Method Is to
Burn Them Where They Are "a
and Scatter Ashes.

The usual thing is when the weeds
bodily. Now, in doing this it is al
most impossible to avoid removing
a part of the upper surface of the gar
den. 1t may be only an inch OF two,
but that inch is just the best of the
ground. This is the height Of folly.
One reads of the thrifty French
gardeners removing so many inches
of their soil when they have to quit
out. There Is an agreement to that
effect. The soil that they have i'm
proved with years of labor and care
is a tenants FIXTURE" so to speak,
and they take it with them.
What goes on in too many of our
gardens is just the reverse. Instead of
going away and bringing the soil with
us-that is the wealth Of our gardens
we stay and the soil goes, thrown
out on the rubbish heap to form part
of an eyesore and nuisance to the
rest of the establishment.
These things should not be so. In
the Utopia of well-managed farms and
gardens, Of which we now and then
have an inkling, there will be no
rubbish at all, for what Is rubbish?
Burning is wastefui when it is
weeds not yet gone to seed that are
consumed 1t is another matter In
dealing with such things a. old
stumps. roots and bad weeds that
preserve their vitality over the win,

cleansing fires. But why make them
away to a rubbish heap? Why not
rather burn them where they lie, at
once and scatter the ashes there
This plan acts beneficially In more
ways than one 1t saves two earrings
and 1t is always easier to do job
of this sort at once. Beside, rubbish

be found to have afforded free quar-
tiers to an appalling, If interesting ex

At a certain old homestead that

ditions of things find their way, not
alone from the garden, but from the
dwelling, to hollow just out of sight
of the house and garden. Here are
"pegged out" any amount of extraor
binary things-broken pottery, papers

In their virgin state, and old hats

grain fields after the grain has been
reaped. They are found in the high

would otherwise be wasted, at least
it would In large measure.
They should be kept to supply meat

easily kept. Where sheep are kept

acter by killing and dressing occa-
sionally a mutton from his flock.
With good place to keep such meat,
as an apartment in an ice house, he
may enjoy such meat in warm
weather. But even in the absence of
such place he may partake of such
food during much of the year-that
is, during all portions of the same
when the weather is cool enough to
enable him to keep such meat in a
good condition. In this way much of
the meat may be grown to meet the
needs of the farm from products that
would otherwise be wasted
Sheep ought to be kept because Of
the influence which they exert upon
fertility. No class of animals kept
upon the farm will equal them in the
favorable influences thus exerted.
This arises first, from the readily
available condition in which the drop
pings reach the soil; second, from the
scattered condition in which they
reach the land, and, third from the
general distribution Of the dropping
over the land. In this way sheep
leave the land richer in available fer
tility when they Craze upon it than
it was when the grazing began. Thus
it is that the proverb has arisen that
the sheep has golden hoof. And 1t is
