In starting a flock of sheep great should be taken in the selection. care Start a good flock and keep it.

The Kansas experiment station has realized 811.90 per acre from rape pasture and $24.10 from alfalia pasture in ninety-eight days.

The crop of fall wheat in Ontario has been one of the best in the history of the province, as the yield per acre is large and the grain of excellent quality. If the flockmasters would remember that good straw makes a splendid fodder for sheep, they would be a little more careful to preserve the straw in good condition. Clover and skim milk pigs can be hardened for market by a ration of corn, barley, wheat or rye. When a predominance of lean meat is desired feed the last three grains. Several of the cows at the Ontario Agricultural College bid fair to make a record for the present year of over 10,000 lbs.

In order to be a successful herdsmen a man must possess an inherent love of animals, since nothing but this will inspire that trust and confidence on the part of the animals essential to their successful breeding. Honey has been an average crop this year, the western and central parts of the province producing abundantly, while the supply was counties greatly below the average in the along the St.

Lawrence and Ottawa. A cow reared on the farm is to remain is always more valuable to her owner than a strange cow. She is acclimated, acquainted the herd with which she must associate, and she is familiar with the lands from which she obtains her food. All things considered, clover sod well ploughed furnishes the best conditions for potatoes. The ploughing of the sod be done early in the season, and should be worked often with disc and harrow.

In this way many diseases incident to potatoes may be headed off. In the United States in 1902 it is estimated that 1,290,000,000,000 dozens of eggs were produced, or 203 eggs for man, woman and child. The esevery timated number of chickens was 000,000. The total value was than all the gold and silver mines in the world produced in the same time. The man who grows on the farm all that he consumes on it saves 8 double transportation--the hauling home of what he buys the hauling to market of what he sells to pay for it.

These two items of cost help very materially to make up the difference between profitable and unprofitable farming. A small flock of sheep can be kept with but little expense, and, whether wool is high or low, the check their wool brings in the spring is about clear profit. Then, the increase sold, whether as dressed meat.on the local market or as live sheep to be shipped will bring in a snug sum. It is hard to conceive of a farm upon which a small flock of sheep will not pay. The Farming World advises every farmer to have a name for his farm.

J. MATHIEU CO, Proprietore, Sherbrooke, Que. PLEASANT TO THE TASTE. Helplessness is more to be dreaded than any amount of pain or suffering. It is helplessness that makes the approach of old age so much regretted.

In the great majority of cases helplessness of mind or body is the result of a Wrecked Nervous System. You cannot meet a person having the first symptoms of Nervous Exhaustion, such as irritability, sleeplessness, neuralgic pains, loss of energy and vitality, without calling to mind many terrible examples of paralysis, locomotor ataxia, prostration, insanity or some form ot helplessness and suffering. On account of their gradual and insidious approach nervous diseases are most liable to be neglected. But they never wear away of themselves. The nerve force that has been wasted must be replaced.

The most effective means of creating new nerve cells and building up the nervous system is Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. Natural and gradual in its reconstructive effects and truly marvellous in its curative influence, this great food cure promptly arrests nervous waste and sets in action the process of restoration. It makes pale, weak, nervous men, women and children strong anu well. By noting your increase in weight while using Dr.

Chase's Nerve Food you can be certain that new firm flesh and tissue is being added to the body. This is one of the most satisfactory proofs that the whole system is being benefitted. Mr. E. C.

Bradt, 51 West Avenue Hamilton, writes: Three years ago I was a physical wreck, unable to work and of no material use to myself, family or friends. I could not sleep well, was tired in the mornings, had no appetite and had severe neuralgia pains through my body. Though I consulted five city physicians, at considerable expense, they could not help me and gave me no hope of recovery. Being strongly advised to try Dr. Chase's Nerve Food I did so, and before I had used three boxes I was much stronger and better, I then resolved to give this treatment a thorough trial and continued using the food until I had taken boxes.

I ani well man and in better physical condition than ever since my birth. My weight increased from 135 to 153 pounds and I am feeling sp'endid. I am firmly convinced that Dr Chase's Nerva Food saved me from a lingering death from others nervous exhaustion, and gladly recommend this MR. BRADT. great medicine to suffering as I did." Dr.

A change at regular intervals from field to field is, good for them. If the land is foul the sheep will clean it up more cheaply than any other laborers you can employ. One of the most troublesome pests with which poultry growers have to deal is the chicken mite, or chicken tick, as it is more properly called. When a Hock becomes infested with this parasite the egg production is reduced and in many cases the profits seriously curtailed by the pest. Hatching hens and young chicks are especially liable to its attacks.

A bulletin upon the subject by Dr. J. J. hepp. veterinarian of the Iowa Experimental Station, has recently been issued.

The advice given is based upon recent experiments in combating the pest. Kerosene emulsion is recommended. The emulsion may be prepared at home at a cost of about fortyrive cents per thirty gallons, this amount being sufficient to spray the ordinary farm hen-house once. Fall Care Of Fowls. H.

C. Larimore desribes in the Reliable Poultry Journal his method of caring for his fowls in the fall as follows: "My experience is that one-half the battle is to have good, strong, healthy and vigorous breeding stock, I use ordinary dry goods boxes, with a two-ply felt roof put on them, for each hen and brood from the time they leaves the nest till they go to their winter quarters; and that is as early as they are large enough, or at about three months of age. They are then taken to the building they are to occupy and penned up a few days till they become accustomed to their new home. All windows are taken out and one inch wire mesh is tacked over the openings, and they remain that way till the nights begin to get chilly. Then I gradually close up so as to have them accustomed to a closed room by the time freezing sets in, and as our winters are not very severe here there are but few days that they cannot.

have access to a small yard. In this way I seldom ever have a severe cold in my flock and have not seen a genuine case of roup for five years. When I have a case of cold or distemper I find that a few drops of olive oil injected in the nostrils is a sure cure. "My treatment for dysentery, and diarrhoea is to put a of Venetian red in their water pan and let the fowls drink all they want, and find few cases that it will not cure. "In conclusion I will say that good, strong, healthy breeding stock free from lice and mates, properly fed, produce chicks that will not give much trouble in the fall." Laden With Gifts.

New York, Dec. big liners which cleared for Europe to-day were veritable Santa Claus ships, carrying vast sums of money and countless other Christmas gifts to gladden the hearts of the folks in the "old country." There were some wild rushes down at the wharves yesterday and to-day by belated gift-senders, and the box which hung alongside the last to-come-ashore gang plank was filled and emptied many times. One ship carried more than 100,000 money orders, amounting to more than $2,000,000. Other ships also had their share and the total of these gifts sent abroad amounts to a fabulous sum.
