There is a double profit in it, while in nearly every other branch of farming there is but one. , The labor required comes in a time that cannot be as profitably era ployed at anything : else. , All coarse fodder and srraiu when converted into mutton are sure to return a fair market value and aenerally something for labor besides. This profit Is direct the other is in haying the products of the farm converted into the best ma nure, which alone would pay for all the labor and straw for bedding thrown io. Any good grain farm of 100 acres will raise enough grain and fodder to fat a car-load of sheep! and if the manure is all put back on tbe farm where if be longs, the farmer will have little oc casion to buy fertilizers, aa his crops will increase every year nnder such treatment. It Is rare for one to lose in feediug, sheep, but - common with cattle. Anything raised on a farm that any animal will eat sheep will eat and do well on. A, secret in the items of profit is la buying. IooefaiU here It is bard making np afterwards. A good begin ning generally makes a good ending. Usually there ia more profit ia feeding lambs tbaa old sheep, yet I would - not advise a new beginner to commence with lambs. One who bas.had no ex-. perience should consult those wbo have. It is quite a trade. It aeeds experience. for success. Begin in the fall, get your sheep ready for market as soon as possible. The first market frequently the beak The last of January or first of February ia a good time to sell. The sooner sheep are made ready for market and sold tbe better. Borne fill np tbe second time and do well at It, but 00 days is losg enough to feed for profit if tbe stork be properly eared for. I have never kept exact account of the graia fed, bat two bushels per bead and fifteen pounds graia on old sheep, and eighteen or twenty ponods e lambs is a fair aver age.

In a small dairy often to twenty cows, the most profit able crops are, market vegetables, Irults, etc.; which bring in much more than grain, and tbe manure Is thus dis posed of at a great advantage. The best of the heifer calves should be reared and the old cows sold off, and by all j means a purebred bull should be kept for breeding calves. If a herd that will make 800 pounds cf first class but ter in a season can be reared, $100 per cow coul.l be made. The advantage of this is evident, as a cow of this kind aal without headinov The sowing of seed in the full and the transplanting into frames for the winter is a trouble some job. Seed sown now will be a little late, but will still come in fairly good time. It would have been better in this latitude to have sown them ear ly in January. My practice is to sow the seed in shallow boxes in a warm green house, early in January. f As soon as large enough to handle, pre pure another set of boxes by filling them half full of fine rotten manure, and finishing with good soil. Into these set tbe plants about 75 in an or dinary box, 1 by 2 feet in area. Place tbe boxes In au ordinary cold frame, and keep tht sashes closed until they recover from the transplanting. Then give air on all occasions, exorpt "when From six to ten hens: make an, aver age breeding flock. It is poor policy to ?Ive,a male bird too many hens, whether restricted or at liberty. By making new nests often, and burning the old ones, you foster clean linen and prevent lice and parasites from gaining foothold.
