The Smithers ranch was undergoing repairs, carpenters and paiuters were busy all the day long, and the job was to be all completed before Christmas. Bob had told old mau Keen all thi3 and fished for ad opinion from Mary in regard to a numoer of things, but Mary's invariable answer was "she didn't know."

BREEDlNO EWES. Raw potatoes, beets, carrots, turnips. ind other kinds of ioot3 may be given to breeding ewe3 with great benefit, pro- vided they are fed in small quantities at irst, increasing the rations as the animals become accustomed to such soft and suc culent food,, In no case should so much be given as to cause looseness of . the bowels, or what .is usually termed scours, od when there are indications of this the" roots should be withheld juntib the droppings have returned to their norma' conditions. If the potatoes are large oi medium size they should be cut up inte ihces, but very small ones may be ' fed whole; One quart of cut potatoes and a pint of bran sprio'tlei over them would be a fair ration to bejin with, and only once a day, increasing to double the quantity in the course of three or foui weeks. A little salt, ay a teaspoonfiil k each animal, may be added to each" ratioD, unless salt is kept where the sheep z&n help themselves. It is common prac tice to feed breeding ewes grain of spme kind with good hay on well-cured corn italks, but all musty, mouldy food should be, avoided, as It is likely to cause abor tions. - There is nothing better to" in: crease a flow of milk than sugar beets,' md every farmer who keeps sheep should " raise a quantity ol these roots to feed his breeding ewes. New York Sun. rsAtx roB pio. One of the most profitable crops for pigs that can be planted in the spring of the year is pease, and land cannot be male to produce any crop that returns to much to the owner. The pease may be raked, stacked and fed to .the pigs from the stack, or the swine may ' be turned into the field, an J allowed to eat what they will; In tSe early .part of August those that are needed for seed ihould be gathered. On every five acres of. pea ground tuns -about twenty-five pigs loose, and if they have "been fed a little corn through the summer they will be ia fine condition for the first market.
