THERE ARE ADVANTAGES IN KEEPING A
FLOCK OF SHEEP.
stances are on record where breeding
ewes have yielded a profit of $40 to
S15 per head; where fat lambs, made
to weigh 100 pounds at nine months
of age, have sold for I cents per
pound: where limbs at four months
have brought So: where Il farm was
bought for $1,000, with $1,000 down

and during that time the sheep paid
S1.I0o and the original number re
manned. where they have made land
worth 500 an acre that was before
worth So
One must consider the labor and
value of feed in comparing sheep with
cattle and hogs, but my contclltion is
that the safest ana most profitable kind
of farming is to have Il variety of live
stock as We'll as other products. and
sheep are well suited to this program.
no matter how they compare with
other stock. y few sheep can be kept
without much added expense and be
made profitable simply by utilizing the
waste places on your farm. The pro
ductivity of the farm can be increased
nightly by increasing the number of
care and attention. the first place in
your mind and the choicest places on
your farm.
Sheep are, enemies of weeds and as
such keep up the appearance of the
farm. They adapt themselves very
readily to waste places and adapt waste
places to themselves. They will Craze
to the very bottom of bitches and keep
them clean of weeds. They will Craze
to the very summit of hills and crop
the tufts of grasses that grow where
other animals fear to tread. Thus,
through the, helpful agency of sheep
many a stony or hilIy farm, which
otherwise would largely exist as dead
property, is utilized and conducted in
profitable channels. Sheep will creep
under hedges and find feed there. They
will clean up fence rows and fence
corners, thus turning some more dead
property into profit and saving labor
wherever they go.
Do not get the impression that sheep
will thrive and pay under careless man
agement. They need dry, snug quar-
tiers in winter and during rainy periods.
Their health must be guarded, for they
have their ailments, just as other ami
mails have, but they will return big
dividends on all the care which is be.

Hen Manure Mixture.

F1en MANURE mixture.
Many persons propose to mix ashes
with hen manure, but no material con
tanning lime in the form in which it
Is contained in ashes should be mixed
with moist manure, as the lime will
cause the liberation of a considerable
part of the nitrogen in the manure,
and it will escape as ammonia gas.
Ashes and dry hen manure may be
mixed Immediately before applying the
manure. as the ammonia will mostly
be absorbed and held by the soil.
The proper material to mix with
manure is acid phosphate, as this
serves to fix the ammonia, instead Of
Hberating it, and also re-enforces the
manure with phosphorus, which is the
element most needed by most soils.

GARDEN INSECT PESTS.
How Their Ravages May Be Prevented
by Simple Precautions.

prepared by Kansas State Agricultural
college
The common garden insect pests are
more numerous than usual this sum
mer. The ravages of many of the pests
may be prevented by few simple pre-
cautions.
Cut Worms.-Eat off plants near the
ground or climb plant and eat leaves
Scatter poison bran mash over the
ground in the evening before and after
the plants come up. A collar of paper
fitted into the soil two or three inches
around the plant and extending three
l or four inches above ground is also
helpful. Pillow in the fall.
Strawberry Leaf Roller-Larva rolls
leaf and feeds upon it. Spray with
lead arsenic and burn fields us soon as
crop is harvested.
Strawberry Glea Beetle.-Adults eat
holes through the leaves. Spray with
lead arsenic before the fruit is half
mature.
Strawberry Crown Borer-Grub tun-
nels and feed in crown of plant Prac-
tice crop rotation. Burn over infected
fields in fall
White. Grubs. - The larvae of June
beetles damage grass, corn, straw
berries and other plants by eating off
roots. Practice fall blowing to expose
insects and harrow thoroughly before
planting.
Colorado Bettle.-Adults and larvae
eat leaves. Spray with lead arsenate
at the rate of three pounds of poison
TO fifty gallons of water as soon as
injury appears Poison may be used
in bordeaux mixture.
Flea Beetle.-Adults eat the leaves.
Use bordeaux mixture containing ar
senate of lead.
Corn Ear Worm.-Eats the imma-
ture kernels at the end of the ear.
Dust. the corn silk with equal parts of
powdered arsenate of lead and flowers
of sulphur. Plow the ground in the
fall
Cabbage Worm. = Green worms eat
leaves of plant. Spray with soapsuds
and arsenate of lead.
Cabbage Aphis.-Sucks sap from the
leaves. Spray with nicotine solution
and soapsuds just as soon as the in
sect appears.

ELECTRIC FARMING,

Advantages of Electricity Over Any
Other Motor Agent.
In order to obtain clearer idea of
the advantage of electricity over any
other agent and to show that electric
fly is the best medium for the farmer.
the following facts are cited by Frank
koester in his book, ELECTRICITY For
the Farm and Home There are thou
sands of steam and internal combus-
ton engines in use on our farms to-
day, principally for replacing draft
animals, and of course a proportion
ate number of farm hands, and they
are used with machinery, such as
plows and thrashers and especially
such as is required in diaries, as
COW mixers, cream Separators, butter
kneaders, etc. an internal combustion
engine could not be as adyantageously
used as an electric motor, however, for
the reason that the smallest CONNER
cial internal combustion engine is
about two horsepower, while the cleo
trio motor may be chosen in capacities
of one-tenth of IL horsepower and up
ward to suit the machine to be oper-
ated. Further, no fuel is necessary, the
only requirement being to turn on
switch to start the motor.
In fact, practice has proved that
farm machinery can advantageously be
operated by electric motors. The ma
chimes usually operated on the farm
are plows, rollers, reapers, thrashers,
corn grinders, corn shelters, corn shred
ders, fodder cutters. woodsaws. pumps,
horse and sheep clippers and apparatus

Observation-Disclosures
THE STRANGER ON THE
LAND.

A new farmer in any region is
handicapped for the first season
or two. Unless he has Travelled
enough to know the wide varia-
ton of details i'll farming and
how to watch for them he will
make mistakes on matters that
seem very simple to old residents.
If he is inclined to be independ-
ent of local custom and of the
advice of his neighDors he runs
even greater chances of loss.
The man from the south who
moves to northern state, with
its shorter growing season, may
not realize the Importance of
getting his crops i'll promptly,
with the result that be is pinched
by frost in the fail. The type of
soil may be strange to him; con-
ditions of drought or flood may
be unknown to him; even live
stock are influenced by location.
If the new farmer hasn't time
to study these details for a sea-
son before he comes to the re-
gion he would best stick to the
methods of the majority of good
farmers in the neighborhood-
the same crop, the same live
stock, the same methods of cult
walton.
Plenty of farmers who have
gone west, and as many who
have come east, with the idea of
astonishing the natives have
been obliged after seasons eX-
perience to retrench. with more
wisdom and less net profit than
expected. 1t pays to think twice
before you try to beat the native
at his own game.-Country Gen

Henoloky.
The hen she is a noble bird.
Her speech is most sincere.
Her voice when it is daily heard

Is music to the ear.
And occupation seems to be
The thing for which she'll beg
For hours she'll sit with placid glee
Upon china egg.
Sometimes when she is thus employed
Her mood with ire is fraught;
She does not like to be annoyed
BY an intrusive thought.
1t is her hobby, her delight,
Which nothing else can match.
To nurse along, both day and night,
An egg that cannot hatch.
