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.” jicr acre, <1 to 5 pounds 12 to 18 “ 8 to 18 4 ’ t! to 8 “ 12 to 15 44 2 to 4 bushels 2 to 3 “ 2 to 3 “ - White clover. Ueil clover Lucerne clover, Alsike clover, Timothy seed, Blue grass seed, Orchard grass seed Red top or Herds 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. COURT CALENDAR.

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. A Lawful Wirt Fence. The last general assembly of Georgia passed an act defining and making lawful wire fences in this state. The fence is to be composed of not less than six horizontal strands of barbed wire tightly stretched from poat to jiost.

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.

FARMERS LOOK TO YOUR INTEREST! ioo Cooking Stoves Just Received 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.

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.
