TIMELY HINTS OF SHEEPFOLD
Able to Judge Breeding Eve
Rather Rangy Ones Best.

The best breeding ewes are those
that are rather rangy, with good feed
ing capacity This sort of an animal
will prove a better feeder and a better
mother, than the short pudgy type
In buying ewes for breeding pur-
poses. do not pick the best looking
ones in point of flesh. A man must
know how to choose breeding ewes,
Just as he should know how to judge
a breeding SOW, or any other animal
on the farm, but to too many farmers,
all sheep look alike.
Whenever a eve is discovered to
have an unsound mouth, she should
be fed at once for the market.
If there is any profit in grade ewes
it comes from the use of pure-bred
ram.
While good breeding has much to do
with tendency to early breeding and
thrift, the ewes will. as rule, take
service of the ram at almost any Pc
riod OF the year.
Early maturity of the lamb is where
the big profit comes in in raising them
for market It's another case of the
early bird catching the worm.
The value of a eve can be more
nearly determined when she weans her
lamb. If the youngster is strong, of
good size. and we'll fieshed. be sure
that the mother is worth keeping.

SPADING UP FEEDING PLACES
Where Chickens Are Continually Fed
Within Small Space Ground Be.
comes Foul With Droppings.

On most farms feed for the iiock is
scattered about on the ground and the
chickens are continually fed within
small space. The surface of the ground
soon becomes foul with the droppings
of the flock True. the sunshine acts
as a germieide and if the space is at
all sloping, the washing of the rain
helps some but generally the spot is
level and often muddy. The ground
quickly becomes contaminated with
the continual tramping of the flock
and if there be one sick fowl the whole
flock may soon become infected. This
is especially true with small chicks
and young turkeys.
The spading up of the feeding place
once OF twice per week will bring good
results 1t will tend to purify the
ground. 1t will induce exercise on the
part of the flock. which is always de-
sirable, and especially is this true
when the flock is confined in yards
and green feed, so necessary. is diff
cult to obtain.
If grain is scattered, as one spades
up the ground, much will be buried
so deep that the hens will not scratch
If out and ii will be thrown up at the
next spading with green, succulent
blades that are greatly relished by the
flock and will also help along mighty
we'll in the way of providing eggs.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody VIII Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
sd, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray also ends dandruif, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time: by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

I PLOW TO ERADICATE INSECTS
Millions of Dollars Annually Lost to
Farmers on Account of Pests in
the Vegetable Gardens.

Every farmer is annoyed with in
seets, especially in the vegetable gar
den, and millions of dollars are lost
annually on account of them.
There are several ways to fight
these pests when they come, which
they continue to do; but it would be
much better to prevent their coming
when they arrive.
Insects are unlike other animals in
that they take on several forms. For
instance, the hard-shelled potato
bugs lay the eggs for the soft bugs or
larvae which when Matched enter on
their eating career, and when this is
finished enter the earth, and come
out the next year fully matured bug.
Other insects are similar. The butter
flies and moths lay their eggs which
hatch into worms or caterpillars. and
when this stage is developed spin
their cocoons, which they burst open
the next spring or summer and
emerge as the mature butterfly or
moth
Now in the winter when these in
sects are undergoing these stages
they are helpless and when Flowed
out are unable to go deeper into the
earth to protect themselves from the
weather, and thus perish, writes F. H.
Pease of Richmond. Va, in Progressive
Farmer Also during this time of the
year bird food is scarce. and they are
eagerly deyoured by birds.
| do not advise leaving land bare
and blowing It in the fall or winter
when cover crop can be planted;
but land uncovered would be helped
by such blowing and the insects killed.
Insects multiply enormously. Some
of them pass through all of their
different stages in few days, and as
many as dozen generations are
reared in a single summer; so it can
be readily seen that everyone killed
in the fall or winter means many
less the next year. If the vegetable
garden has no covering, pillow it as
many times as possible. This will
help XIII the insects and make the soil
finer and hold the moisture better.
