A writer In the Chicago Times bears
this forcible testimony In favor ot slieep ;
Tlie hlatovy of farming in very country
In tho world shows that the raising ot
sheen had an Important connection with
keeping np the fertility ot tlie soil. For
reclaiming a worn out farm there m no
stock so good as sheep. The manure thev
make is seldom reckoned ainons the prollt
of sheep husbandry, but it is In reality one
ot the chief sources ot income. Mrt lar
mers renltze this who have abandoned
sheep raisins; at times when wool and mut
ton ruled low. aneep aro vegeraiue
scavengers. They will eat and digest a
verv larsre immber of plants that horsrs
ami cattle will never touch. They will
make n very comfortable livlns; on little
more than the leave ot hushes. A n
rule, one sheep may lie kept to every cow
and horse iu a pasture without iletiimeiit
() riese larger aiimmis etmsunie.
Kuch is their desire for a variety til food
that they i" olicn t ave grass to ti ed on
leaves of Im-hes and weeds. Sheen will
uarch h'h'lier and lower Inr feeil that)
liortes or utile. They are the last toJeave
the pift ure In the Fall, and first to return
In the Sprinsr. For seven or more years in
its life a sheep will yield a lleeee equal In
value to the body from which it 1;
thorn. . During all this time tlie In
erease in number will pay for the
kmihi?. The difference between the
orice of wool at the place where
it is elhmed and where it is marketed is
loan tlinu tor anv amine iiTuiiuceu on iiie
farm, with tlie exception ot cheese. If
the price does not meet a grower s views
when it is taken off it may be stored a
year at one per cent, of Its value, and it is
quite sure to Increase that amount In
weight. In all countries w tie re agriculrure
has made the greatest advance, sheep mis.
Ing has constantly grown in importance
During the past hundred years tho uuin
ber of sheep In Great Britain has doubled
ai,n thtt nrlce of mutton has doubled
nrl the nrlce of wool has more than quad
nmil. No branch ef tarming Inlireat
Britain is In a more prosperous condltlor
than the production of wool and mutton
'i'u ,i.,miul fur mutton alwavs increases
as a community increases in ago and
wealth. As to spring lamb. It is a dainty
which always coinnianus a lancy price, a
farmer who" has the uonveiiieuees lor ruis

come superior to anyiniiig involving h

And now let me turn to a fiwject, in

There is no country in which the people
have as good a chance for reading, writing
and study, in tlie winter montlis, as
here. And how cheap arc all books atid
printed slieets, The writer finds time, in
tlie "misty months," to scribble to the
anionntof many hundreds ot pages for
