A  Venture  in  Sheep-raising 
My  sou.  10  years  "hi.  considered  a  good 
farm  hand  aud  teamster,  makes  more 
than  his  clothes  trapping  in  liis  spare 
time,  proposes  to  try  sheep  as  a  start  in 
life  as  a  farmer.  lie  knows  nothing 
about  sheep,  and  will  have  to  hire  laud. 
One  field  of  eight  acres  be  husked  100 
bushels  of  corn  oft'  he  can  hire  for  $■">  per 
acre.  This  land  will  probably  never  be 
farmed  again,  but  will  be  built  on  in  a 
few  years.  lie  would  plant  four  times 
the  usual  amount  of  seed  corn  and  grow 
fodder  and  what  small  corn  it  would 
grow,  and  not  luisk.  Would  hire  four  acres 
of  hotter  laud  for  cals  and  peas  t"  b  ■  fed 
green  or  as  hay,  and  rape  and  turnips. 
What  feed  would  he  have  to  buy  t<>  1ml- 
slnuild  bo  termed  meat  cutters,  for  a  rela¬ 
tively  small  portion  of  them  slaughter.  It 
might  be  necessary  to  look  up  some  spe¬ 
cial  trade  if  it  was  desired  to  obtain  the 
highest  price  for  the  meat.  f.  c.  m. 
The  Farmer’s  Brood  Mare 
For  many  years  there  have  been  men 
who  have  most  erroneously  thought  that 
you  could  go  to  a  city,  buy  broken-down 
and  aged  mares,  send  them  to  the  farm, 
breed  them  to  stallion,  or  jack,  as  the 
case  may  be,  aud  reap  liberal  rewards  in 
the  way  of  a  plentiful  supply  of  foals 
“Selecting  and 
Developing  the 
Jersey  Herd” 
Is  a  booklet  by  Prof.  Hugh  G.  Van 
Pelt.  It  tells  how  you  can  build 
a  well-developed,  money-making 
Jersey  herd  by  proper  selection 
and  judicious  breeding.  The 
future  of  your  dairy  herd  de¬ 
pends  upon  how  you  select  your 
foundation  animals  and  how  they 
and  their  offspring  are  developed. 
The  Jersey  cow  combines  beauty  with 
dairy  conformation.  Healthy, vigorous 
and  profit- producing,  she  lifts  the 
mortgages  and  increases  bank  ac¬ 
counts.  Send  for  book  today.
