Sheep Notes. For good mutton, the ewes aun lambs need grain food. ideanliness is as necessary to ^ the sheep as food and shelter. The market value should determine the best time to market sheep. Without exercise, sheep are liaMe to become constipated and fe\?j?ish and fall oft in appetite. Beyond the first ewes a marked deterioration ol the tleece is the result if the crossing is continued Sheep will sutler for a long time from exposure to u single severe rani. Sheep kept only for scaven gers are not the sort which prove themselves of value. Sheep poorly fed during the winter will have weak spots in their wool in the spring. Supply plenty of bedding as he sheep foul their quarters quickly when confined. The health and thrift of the flock can be much better maintained by keeping in small numbers. Almost without exception sheep that are properly fitted for market meet with a ready sale. Sheep appreciate and will pay for good feeding as well as auy other animals. Give the sheep plenty of dry clean bedding so that the wool will not become foul. A sheep can hardly be healthv that is always carrying a dirty fleece around. If in the sheep business for mutton, select the herds which grow rapidly uud mature early. In growing sheep both for wool and mutton be caretul not to cull out the good muttons too closely for the butcher. In a majority of cases, the very sheep that produces the best carcass of mutton will also produce the best fleece of wool Usually a sheep wintered on straw will produce a pretty poor fleece. It may be ted well up in flesh afterwards, but the fleece will show the effect. A : Ji i \>ulupcilUVC Act 1 1111 let 11U11 for Two Midshipmen at Annapolis.

Avoid low, damp places for the feed lots. Sour food is not good for young piga at any time. Milk of any kind is better for the pig's slop than water. I 'Ihere is no reason why the boar should be thin to breed well. One disadvantage with large hogs is that they are slow to mature. A good rule is to start the hog on milk, grow it on gruss, and finish with grain. Brood sows need exercise, hence a pasture is Letter than a pen for them. The profitable norker never >ees two winters nor two sumtn prtt While, usually the early pigs ?re I lie most profitable, they re quire warm quarters. The greater the number of pigs in a litter, the more tood the 9<>w requires. Wheat brail fed to the sows aids materially in securing a good development of bone and muscle in the pigs. A pig should make a pound of growth every day of its life. I f it does this, it can be marketed when six months old. Generally, it is best to mate a young boar that is being used f??r service the first time wilh old matured sows or at least withi those that have had one litter oil !>??? II you have a pure bred hoar, the quality oi the common sows upon winch he -s crossed will d<> much towards giving quality to i he offspring In nearly all cases ii is heller to lend growing pigs with a mixture ot ground oa's and wheat mid ling at least until thev are ready to fatten when plenty ot corn may be given in addition.?
