True, It is difficult to get it at Just the right stage to avoid the “pucker.” but well ripened and frosted fruit most persons would surely consider delicious and worth a little trouble to produce. Possibly It Is because the ripe fruit is difficult to handle. What is known as the Japa­ nese persimmon Is more encouraging to grow than our native ones in respect to the size of the fruit, being fully twice as large. P»ut it will not thrive farther north than Philadelphia, and even there it Is uncertain. The flavor is n little less sweet, hut with less “pucker.” Of late attention lias been given to the improvement of our na­ tive persimmon, mid it has been at tended by more or less success. Some are almost or entirely seedless, and ah sence of most of the picketing is no ticenble. One proposing variety has been named Gold drop, for which are claimed earliness coming into bearing extreme hardiness, unusually large and good shape, tine yellow color, flesh melting and with but little pucker when ripe. The American persimmon makes a handsome tree, ornamentally considered* It has dark green leaves that remain ou late In the fall.

I have now warned the sheep feeder, and here is his needle and thread: Change the feed ui.d at the same time feed a little flaxseed and bran and don’t wait till some of the sheep die before begin­ ning to do something, for the ounce of prevention may save several sheep. And don’t forget the salt and access to nlenty of clean wafer. * Look carefully after the brood ewes and see that they get plenty of exer* else. To a brood animal, from a chick­ en to a horse, exercise is next In im­ portance to correct feeding. Be sure the ewes get some food that is strong In protein or the lambs will be defi­ cient In muscle nnd strength. The "how” to get enough protein Is the problem with the most of us. If the feeder has good clover liny of course lie is “in clover.” for no better form of protein can he had. and if one lives near a flax mill and can got linseed inenl reasonably that Is excellent, hut to most of us who live a long distance from these mills and have to pay a high freight added to cost of meal lie price is almost prohibitory. Peas are rich In protein. Oats are our sheet anchor on this farm at present, nnd our ewes got about n pound a day each during the last ftix or eight weeks of gestation. Other byproducts might be mentioned that are rich in protein, but railroad freights added to high first cost put them out of the question with the av- *rnge shepherd of the west.—James Vrnold in Farm, Stock and Home.
