The old proverb that the foot of tlie sheep is golden is scarcely true if the sheep have only the grass that grows in pasture as feed. But if fed grain or oil meal to fatten them while they are at pasture their excrement will lie v c y rich, and will increase fertility rapidly. Sheep do best on the natural grasses. They will soon ruin clover if allowed to eat it down, for they gnaw closer to the soil than any other domes­ tic animal can do. F a rm N o t e » . Thoroughness in cultivation is essen­ tial. Bough broken lands are well adapted to sheep pasturing. \lvvays select the largest and most growthy sows for breeders. t'nless a cow is a good breeder she should not be kept on the farm. To meet low prices lessen the cost o f production as much as possible. Mixed farming and stock raising is best adapted to tlie average farmer. It is poor economy to stack the hay or straw- where the stock can run 10 It all summer. I ights in the rear of the horses is I vest for the eye» of the animals when in the stables.

It seems that, in the earlier part of the missing word contest. A . Schilling & Co. promised >100 each to the two persons who sent in tlie largest number of Schilling’s Best yellow tickets before June 15. It seems fair that the consumers of the tea should get those prizes. A grocer has a better opportunity for col­ lecting tickets; and then, too, he makes a profit on tlie tea. But two grocers won the prizes, and A . Schilling & Co. paid the money. Now conjes the funny part— they wanted consumers to get >200, and were determined they should. So they paid another >200 to the two consumers who had sent in tlie two largest numbers of tickets. That is handsome, to sivy tlie least. A B o t a n ic a l C lo c k .
