No‘more sheep should be kept in any run than can be fed in racks in the same run and have plenty~ of space to lie down in and for exercise. Every drenching rains, every exâ€" posure tosudden changes from heat to cold, every lot of hay trodden un- der foot in muddy feed lots or yards is so much loss to the flock owner. In feeding sheep the aim should be to have as much of the feed eaten as There is a difi‘orcncc between an oily sheep abd a puny one. A sheep that has yellow gum in his wool can- not stand anything, but, a sheep that has white oil will come through all ri gllt . One ndvaniage of sheep manure is that of itself it is not a distribution of weed seeds as is often the case with that of other animals. As a meat, producer lne sheep ranks above the ox: that is, a given amount. of grain will produce more when fed to sheep than to cattle. If sheep are to increase in flesh or even con‘tinue in good condition the food must, contain certain elements which when digested will produce aninml heat, fat and muscle. In nearly all cases it is best to feed some grain to the sheep during the Winter. The grain gives life, warmth, and strength to withstand disease. A change of food is‘better for all animal life, not to pamper by high feed and close quarters but give good healthy living from first to last. To produce fat requires to fill up the tissues and to store up material for heat and life for existence. To produce plenty of Wool the body must be in a. healthy condition as regards its digestive functions, and all its wants supplied. Many flocks are made unhealthy by leaving the manure for the sheep to lie upon and allowing them to breathe the foul air arising from it. By careful selection of the ewes and using a thoroughbred ram the flock can soon be brought up to where 'they will prove a. source of profit. In order to obtain vigor we must In order to obtain vigor we must sustain and build up the muscles and furnish food for activity. ]\Ta.ny flocks are made unhealthy leaving the manure for the sheep lie upon and allowing them breathe the foul air arising from Sheep with medium wool of medium length will not get to the hide when it rains. To secure the most profit from sheep premises they should be shelter- ed from storms. Blood, breeding. and feed are the three great factors with which 'the Wool growers can work out success. On most farms where improVement of this kind has been done, considerâ€" able taste has been displayed, and it is simply to emphasize the import- ance of introducing more scope into the arrangements of the lawn that this note is sounded, A little reach of imagination off into a country where Wide-spreading trees and beauâ€" "tiful flowaring shrubs abound, in which nest all kinds of birds. where limitation and restriction are condiâ€" tions unknown, and then trying to Work out a realization of this image on the lawn, will often tend to beauâ€" tiful arrangement and an etlect that is most inviting. To get the best arrangement of trees and lawn it is essential that the buildings be a. reasonable disâ€" tance apart, and from the highway. As. little as possible should be seen of fences, and small attention need be given to flowers, but nothing is so consistent with a country home as a. broad, well-sodded and shady lawn. By sowing lowâ€"growing gras- ses, such as red-top, blue grass and white clover, a good sod is obtain- ed without much cropping. thus do- ing away with continued lawn mow- ing, which Would otherwise require all the spare time to be 11:16. After getting a sod and the lying out of paths should come the set- ting of trees and shrubs. This planting is a feature that needs to be enlarged upon on most farms. It gives the grounds a park like ap- pearance, and everyone recognizes 'that a natural park is an ideal place in which to live. The plantiv'g of these shrubs and trees gives the best There seems to be a growing dis- position on the part of most people to beautify their farms by keeping fresh green lawns and planting trees and shrubs. When one sees‘a well arranged lawn, it looks like an easy matter to so lay one out as to give a. good appearance, but when it comes to doing the actual work in- congruities are sure to creep in to mar the general elTect. There is no code of rules to guide one in ar- ranging the lawn. The object is to give a. natural effect, and nature never imitetes, but. her every conâ€" dition is original. There are, how- ever, certain features of landscape gardening which are more suitable for the fronts of farm buildings than for city lawns, which are too often taken as models in the country. Gen- erally speaking, the former are less restricted and lend themselves to ar- rangements requiring greater scope than the city properties afl‘ord. gamma; 5H1). @REEN BEAUTIFYING THE LAWN SHEEP NOTES.

If life turns out to be a. hard struggle the work cannot be eased in the slightest by ceaselessly remem- bering that one has to do it.

Time and tide wait for but, the undertaker is more Sometimes a bank cashier enough to pay his running Some advertisers say what they have to say and let it go at that. The best advertisement is that which has an argument and which proves a point. The surest way to get the real interest of the buyer is to have something to sell, to have a. reason for selling it,‘ and to make that reason a. plausible one so that the buyer may want the goods and may‘ ‘see the advantage of buying when the ;merchant wants 'to sell. There are ‘points which require development in the hands of the advertiser and ideas which require nursing until they de- velop into good, healthy desires on the part of possible customers. The thing that makes the one buy and which fails to close a. deal with an- other must be considered, and the whole business of buying and selling' must be focused .into‘an argument. which will comince the greatest number: and then the brain power must be put to work to get the others who were not convinced by the first arguments. It keeps the advertiser thinking to get the right reasons for expecting to sell to everybody, and the more reasons the merchant develops the more certain he will be to reach the people as a; whole, and so obtain the lion’s share of the business.
