A Place for Sheep on the Farm. The department urges the desirability of maintaining a small flock of sheep on the farm. With proper care and attention a flock of 25 to 30 ewes can be kept at very little expense, and they will prove of inestimable value in freeing the farm from weeds and adding something to the farm income. In addition ,to providing a considerable supply of wholesome food for the farm table, there will be a surplus for sale, and an additional item of revenue in the form of wool. Many farmers make a practice of buying ewes in the fall, breeding them and selling the lambs the following summer. Such ewes can be carried through the winter on wheat and rye fields if not pastured too closely, or on clover hay with some roots and a little linseed meal. If the clover hay is not available, corn fodder may be used as roughage, in Which case it should always be supplemented with bran or linseed meal. Lambs should come early and should be taught to eat as soon as they are old enough. GiVe lambs access tc, corn by providing a creep through which they can go without allowing the ewes to follow.

For farm purposes the black-faced ewes are more popular than the others, although good results can frequently be obtained from the white-faced ones. In buying ewes, be sure that they stand well on their feet, have good straight backs and good mouths. Ewes that have broken teeth or teeth that are badly worn down should not be bought. As a rule, a sheep has one pair of pei manent incisor teeth when it is one year old, two pairs when it is two years old and three pairs, or a full mouth, when it is three years old. A full-mouthed ew£, if the teeth are in good condition, can be used for breeding with good results although she may be as much as five years old. Never buy a ewe that has a broken mouth —that is, with teeth that have been broken off or lost. None but a pure-bred : ram should be used. It is not necessary to have a show animal, but a strong, vigorou ß buck is essential. Shropshire, Oxford, Southdown and Hampshire rants sire excellent mutton lambs, and these breeds are recommended for the farm states. A suitable ram can be bought for $8 to S2O. The two principal drawbacks to the sheep industry in the farm states are dogs and stomach worms. The dog nuisance can be obviated to a great extent by placing dog-proof fences around the pastures. The United States forest service has had excellent results in protecting sheep from coyotes and wolves by building fences constructed in the following manner: A barbed wire is first stapled to the posts right on the surface of the ground. Three inches above this is placed a panel of closewoven wire, 36 inches high, and above this two strands of ordinary barbed wire. Care should be taken to see that there are no openings between the ground and the lowest barbed wirp. An inclosure made in this manner, into which sheep may be turned at night, is inexpensive, and dogs will not get through it. Most of the damage by dogs is done at night. , The presence of stomach worms is a very serious drawback. The young lambs become infested with them by eating grass to which the worms have attached themselves, the eggs being deposited by the mature sheep. It is therefore desirable to H&ep the lambs on land on which the mature sheep have not run, and if possible, in cases of bad infections, to keep the lambs away from the mature sheep as much as possible. In the farm states the farmers will, find it to their best advantage to regard the wool from the sheep as a by-product, and direct their principal attention to the production of lambs and mutton for the table.— U. S. Dept, of Agriculture Weekly News Letter.

BUM. He’s a little dog, with a stubby tail, and a moth-eaten coat of tan, And his legs are short, of the wabbly sort; I doubt if they ever ran; And he howls at night, while in broad davjjght Ihe sleeps like a bloomin’ log, And he likes the feed of the gutter breed; he’s a most irregular dog. I call him Bum, and in total sum he’s all that his name implies, For he’s just a tramp with a highway stamp that culture cannot disguise; And his friends, I’ve found, in the ,streets abound, they urchins or dogs or men; Yet he sticks to me with a fiendlpJb ' glee, it is truly beyond my ken. I talk to him when I’m lonesome like, and I’m sure that he understands b When he looks at me so attentively and gently licks my hand; Then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, but I never say aught thereat, For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, but never a friend like that! >' So my good old pal, my irregular dog* my flea-bitten, stub-tailed friend, Has become a part of my very heart, to be cherished till lifetime’s end; And on Judgment Day, If I take the way that leads where the righteous meet, If my deg is barred by the heavenly guard—we’ll both of us brave the beat. —W. D. Wegeforth. Whooping Cough. Well —everyone knows the effect of pine forests on coughs. Dr. Bell’s Pine-Tar-Honey is a remedy which brings quick relief for whooping cough, loosens the mucous, soothes the lining of the throat and lungs, and makes the coughing spells less severe. A family with growing children should not be without it. Keep it-handy for all coughs and colds. 25c at your druggist.—AdVt. Electric Bitters a spring tonic.

Gait and Character. By their walk you shall know them, Here is a professor who has invented a machine for recording the human -gait. “A person can be identified by his manner of walking as easily as by finger prints,” says the professor. ‘‘Watch the man who drags his feet along the ground as if every step were an effort. If he has any of the world’s goods it is because it has been thrust upon him. He iS the kind of man that would be in the first lifeboat that put out from a sinking ship. The man with dragging gait is the man without a heart. “The woman who has difficulty in lifting her heels from the ground when she walks is a whiner. She believes the best she ever gets is the worst of it, and she will go into the minutest detail about trivialities. The woman with the dragging gait is the woman without spine. / “Watch the man who hurries along as if he were anxious to part company with the pavement. His steps are quick and snappy. The man with the snappy step has plenty of pep. When you see a woman planting her feet firmly on the ground and walking with a free swing you may be sure she is wholesome, to be depended upon, capable. She will be your friend, your pal, vour sweetheart on rainy days just as much or more than when the sun shines.” . And a lot of wives whose husbands are given to hitting both sides of the street and the middle coming home will find the gait machine a handy little household object.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

If you check up the number of bottles used you will find Foley's Honey and Tar in greater demand than any#other cough medicine. It is safe, prompt and effective for colds, croup, hoarseness, bronchial coughs, throat trouble and lagrippe. It contains no opiates and is the preferred cough medicine for children.—A. F. LONG.
