they hny’t
tint he cared, fur, Tltis is, perhaps
more for want of experience than
anything else, for in fact, a few
sheep gentled, made docile and (‘a-
sily managed, can he kept at a very ;
trifling cost, on ' any' farm, while j
never fail , to repay, with hi-'
crest, the small outlay. On this
subject the Rural Home gives its
views as follows:
‘•The relative protit is much
greater from a small flock than a
larger one. Tlie grain farmer, no
matter how few Ills acres, can
make, money by keeping a few
sheep. There is always room for
them somewhere and they consume
and turn into money food that oth
erwise would waste. Hut ho must
he careful not to overstock. To il
lustrate, suppose the farmer culti
vates only eighty acres, raising
grain chiefly. He keeps a few cows
and the necessary teams. One-
fil'tli of his farm in pasture, one-
fifth meadow, one planted, one
spring grain and one wheat. Tie
thinks he has as much stock as he
can profitably keep, hut if he puts
on one sheep to every five acres he
will find their products clear gain.
In the spring, early, they can run
on the sod which is to be planted,
and one sheep to each acre will not
hurt the land, yet they will live
well. After that they can go into
the pasture and will clean after the
cows to advantage. A run on the
stubbles after harvest will not be
felt where each sheep has two
acres, and in the fall there is plenty
of feed. Through the winter they
can be kept well on what the other
would not consume, with the addi
tion of a little grain. Probably the
most profitable are some of the
coarser wooled mutton breeds.
Their lambs sell to tlie butchers for
high prices, and when fat the sheep
brings as much as a yearling steer.
Sixteen mutton sheep, well man
aged, would produce a yearly in
come of $100, where, if none were
kejit, nothing would he realized.”
Suggestion to Grass Growers.
The following table we clip from
an agricultural exchange and print
for the benefit of our readers who
may contemplate sowing grass:
says: ‘attie- and hogs'- will gree
dily eat sugar heels or other toots
when o:i a full ration of corn. They
wil! relish ihe roots because they
have a cooling-and sedative effect -
i upon the stomach aud bowels. Corn ,
is so lull of carbon as to have a ten-
deucy to produce a feverish state j
i of the system when given too j
; largely. Hoots have tlie same, ef-;
; feet upon the system as succulent
| grass. English farmers use roots
(largely in the fattening ration, hut
I they also feed with them rape cake,
i etc., or other nitrogenous food.
Hoots, like Indian corn, are too
| poor in nitrogen as a single food for
growing young uniInals or for fat
tening. Corn and roots together
would he much healthier than corn
alone, but a better fattening ration
would be oats and corn with roots,
or, better still, corn, cotton seed
meal or Ijnseed meal and roots.
With a small proportion of linseed
meal—say three pounds, with nine
pounds of corn meal—roots would
not he so necessary for health, as
the linseed meal would keep the
bowels in good order. Corn, bran
and sugar beets or mangolds would
fatten hogs and keep them healthy.
Hogs especially are benefited by
tiie use of roots. They are usually
fed on corn alone, which we believe
often induces cholera a^id other dis
eases. The roots give:them a bulky
and cooling food—just what they
so much need. Bran is a bulky
food, and, fed with corn, is benefi
cial to hogs. Sugar beets, with
good clover hay, will grow youg an
imals or fatten mature ones. The
clover is rich in nitrogen and the
root.- in carbon, making a well bal
anced ration.”

rf the above is strictly adhered to,
no farmer will fail to get a good
setting. As a rule most farmers
seed their lands too sparingly;
hence, poor stands and a cry that
grass will not do well here. This is
a mistake. With proper prepara
tion, as good grass can he grown in
the south as anywhere. Let our
farmers look more closely after pas
tures and hay crops, and they will
be fully repaid for their trouble in
the end.

Hogs are dying in various sec
tions of the south of late, but Dr. M.
H. Zellner, of Alabama, says much
of this loss of hogs can be prevented
by proper attention. The right
kind of feed, with plenty of salt, a
little sulphur, copperas and ashes,
will keep hogs healthy and thrifty.
Corn alone is not fit for raising-
hogs., Tlvke a healthy pig that has
just been weaned, confine it to corn
alone and it will die in less than
twelve months. The food must
contain “flesh formers,” “beat mid
fat producers” and “material for
bone.” in order to keep hogs heal
thy and thrifty, and these’ mate
rials must be in certain relative
proportions.

of not less than six horizontal
strands of barbed wire tightly

Oil of Vitriol—Sulphuric Acid.
Choose a clear evening, after a
hot day, put water into a wooden
pail, and add oil of vitriol thereto
in the proportion "of one to thirty
parts of water. Take a well-paint
ed watering-pot, and. beginning at
the end of the path, step backwards,
watering as you go, taking are to
keep clear of the edgings, if box,
etc., and to avoid splashing the
mixture over clothes and hoots.
When done till the pail with fresh
water, and leave in the watering-
pot all night to soak out the acid.
In the morning the path will not
injure the hoots after the dew is off,
and the weeds will be either all
dead or dying. Should one’s .clothes,
etc., get a spot or two, a teaspoon
ful of smelling-salts in water will
restore the color. Let the path re
main for a day or two, and then
brush off tlie weeds. One applica
tion is generally sufficient for a
long time.—Garden and Field,

FARMERS LOOK TO YOUR INTEREST!

Governor Cleveland, of Xew
York, at an agricultural fair in that j
state recently, said: “While I urge I
you to claim from the soil all it has |
to yield by tlie aid of intelligent ef- j
fort in its cultivation, I cannot re-!
frain from reminding you that, as
citizens, you have something else
to do. You have the responsibility
of citizenship upon you, and you
should see to it that you do your
duty to the state, not only by in
creasing its wealth by the cultiva
tion and improvement of the soil,
but by the intelligent selection of
those who shall act for you in tlie
enactment and execution of your
laws. Weeds and thistles, if al
lowed in your fields, defect your
toil and efforts. So abuses in the
administration of your government
lead to the dishonor of your state,
choke and. thwart the wishes of the
people, and waste their substance.”

It is reported that a good many
fowls are dying of roup. “J‘L W.
I’.,”in the Country Gentleman, of
fers the following valuable sugges
tion about this disease: L have
had considerehle experience in
roup, and have found it the worst
disease which ever attacked my
fowls. It can sometimes he pre
vented by feeding a little sulphur
every morning in hot feed. As
soon as a fowl shows any signs of
the roup (such as swelled head or
hard breathing) take it from tlie
flock at once. When its head
swells, apply turpentine freely, be
ing careful to keep it out of its eyes.
If its head is badly swollen I would
use a lancet, or a sharp knife to cut
the skin over the largest bunch.
When this is done a green sub
stance appears, which must he re
moved. .Vs soon as it is removed
the fowl will he better. If the dis
ease is in the throat, use a little tur
pentine on a feather.
