pure, but more often crossed with other
breeds for this purpose. They are, pe -

becoming more popular and more wide-
ly distributed year by year.
In going into the sheep business go
slow at the start. If dollars and cents
are wholly and solely your aim in
entering the business, keep out of it,
for to succeed in it one must have a
love for sheep. Many of our leading
flockmasters started in business in a
very humble way and grew up with
their flocks, as .4t were, gaining ex-
perience
xperienco as they went along that could
not be obtained in a better way.
The young breeder should not sell
his culls for breeders, as good stock
cannot be expected from them. They.
should go to the butcher. Palming
them off on the novice will bring no

it a point to supply his customers with
good stock it will likely bring him
further orders from friends of cus-
tomers.
A Dangerous Poison Plant.
Lookout for the water hemlock.. It
is a poisonous plant that grows in
marshy places and kills cattle that
happen to eat it. The owner thinks
his cows have "blind staggers" when
it is hemlock poisoning.
The plant has an offensive odor,
which generally keeps stock from eat-
ing it, but not always. The hemlock
resembles peppermint and in good soil
may grow to a height of several feet.
It kills horses as well as cows.
Sometimes it is known as "wild par-
snip," and it is rapidly fatal to both
man and beast. It is one of the most
poisonous native plants in the United
States. It accounts for the frequent
and mysterious death of cows that
often occurs while feeding on swampy
pastures. Some notable cases recently
occurred near Bristol, Tenn., which
were referred to government experts
and resulted in the information given
above. No remedy has yet been dis-
covered.
DAIRY NOTES
The work required to sponge an ani-
mal's flank and udder is but a trifle,
and great improvement can be made
on the milk and its products.
Poor Mixing.
Warm cream should never be mixed
with cold. The result of miring is al-
ways quick souring. The bacteria fir
cold cream are dormant or inactive
and will remain so it kept chilled.
Butter Sticking to Utensils.
The stickiness of butter ntensils
made of wood may be avolded by
washing well in very hot, clear water
and scouring well with salt, says a
Rural New Yorker correspondent.
Bacteria keep Busy.
To cool the cream quickly and thor-
oughly just as soon as the separating
is finished is of more .importance than
anything else at that particular time.
The pigs and calces can wait for their
skimmilk, but bacteria in the cream
wait for nothing until the temperature
favorable to their growth is reduced.
The Dairy Buil.
'When a fanner thinks of buying k'
dairy bull to improve the quality of hie
future cows he should look to the mid -
its, of the bull, not to the cheapness of
price. The character and reliability
of the breeder go a great way in such
a transtuction. Ile should try to buy
a "suture" of good quality that Will
run on for generations and that will
help inereas;s the good effects of every
future Site that may bo used.
Flushing the Separator.

very deceptive business. It is a prac-
tice quite prevalent in many dairy
Communities to thoroughly wash the

A Good. Year For Poultry Men.
Opportpnities to make money in
poultry raising during 1010 have never
been equaled, says the American Ag-
riculturist. Commission men and
poultry specialists all over the coun-
try agree that the high prices of grain
r
have tended to reduce the member of
fowlskept, more eepecially of the
poorer ones; that the high pt ices of
meat in the cities have produced an
unprecedented demand for poultry and
eggs ; that this has also tended to re-
duce the size of flocks, and that be-
cause of these shortages, the outioc k
for all branches of poultry raising the
coming season is exceptional.

vestment of money, for she stowed

to add to it, she paid the hidden place
a visit recently, but found that her

For Your Dough Hadn't the
Courage to Rise
You remember, Madam, that bakeday a week back—or was it •a
month—when his folks were coming to dinner self -invited. �y
And you arose bright and early, and ran over to your mixing bowl
to knead that glorious batch of shapely golden -domed loaves—
And astonish his folks with his wife's breadmaking.
You remember : that was before you bought FIVE ROSES.
And how the dough had forgotten to
rise!
Or had quickly risen overnight and
fallen again, to rise nevermore.
How aggravating to be sure.
And how his mother gazed solicit-
ously at hint, saying in a stage
whisper:
" Poor John I Don't you think he looks
a little tired, emaciated?
And John's lather replied : " No
wonder— such bread -- such eating,
wow!"•
Don't you remember ?
* * * *
But the explanation is most simple,
Madam.
Your flour was weak in gluten, erratic,
ununiform, may be.
Never so with FIVEROSES-because
it's consistent flour, changeless as the
sun or a mother's love,
It unvmyingly possesses that
glutinous strength which
snakes it rise to the delight
of theparticular housewife -
and stay risen, beoauae at has the
necessary consistency and elasticity.
And when you begin to knead it,
Madam, you find the dough quite •
springy and you hear it squeak and
crack as you work.

And it gate wh'Yer and whiter under
your hand till at last it rivals our
own dazzling Canadian snows.
Then think of it, Mistress House-
wife, YOUR bread i'9 never sour,
never lumpy, never dark or dis-
colored, nor soggy nor heavy.
No baking accidents when you most
covet success.
Becauso you arousing FIVE ROSES,
and cannot help it.
And it keeps fresh for days—its
delicious nutlike flavor grows until
the last slice disappears by dint of
second. helpings and smacking of
lips.
What, Madam, • you don't
use FIVE ROSES?
Well, you know, it's never
too fat, to mend.

FOR BETTER DiRT ROADS.
With a sandy soil and a subsoil of
clay or clay and graved plow deep so
as to raise and mix the clay with the
surface soil and sand.
The combination forms a sand -clay
road at a trifling expense.
If the road be entirely of, sand a
mistake will be made if it is plowed,
unless clay can be added.
Such plowing would merely deepen
the sated, and at the same time break
up the small amount of hard surface
material which may be formed.
If the subsoil is clay and the sur-
face scant in sand or gravel, plow-
ing should not be resorted to, as • it
would result in a clay surface rath-
er than one of sand or gravel.
A road foreman must know not
only what to plow and what not to
plow, but how and when to plow.
If the road is of the kind which
according to the above instructions
should be plowed over its whole width
the best method is to run the first
furrow in tiro middle of the road and
work out the sides, thus forming a
Crown.
Results from such plowing are the
greatest in the spring or early sum-
mer.
In ditches a plow eau be used tat

lowed by a scraper or grader.
