CALL ON It Is better to grow Into the sheep business than to go into it, and the question with most farmers should be, "Flow can 1 raise better Iambs and more desirable wool per head from the flock that 1 now have?"This can be clone by uslittg pure bred rams or certain well known breeds. Most writers advocate rais- ing "full bloods" and are opposed to crossbreeding, but that Is not al- ways practical for the average farmer. The illustration shows a pure bred Ryeland ram. he building. Sheds of this sort com- pletely prevent accidents which other- wise would be happening continually hrough the crowding of the sheep go- ng in or out of the sheds. It will rarely be necessary to move these doors, as they may be open all the tole with convenience, There may, zowever, be stormy weather at times; ben the sheep, the lambs especially, nay need protection, when the doors nay be closed. Bundles should be put on the doors with which to move them. The rule should always be in all re- spects In the management of sheep that all accidents should be provided. against, and then there will be no losses to be regretted when It is too late. •AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA• IN THE HORSE BARN.

W. H.HAw AND ALFALFA -:SEEDING. Experiments to Determine the Proper Amount of Thickness. It is often recommended that, alfalfa, be seeded with twenty 'pounds to the, acre in order to insure'a good Stand of WOMAN WEAK plants,_ yet experience of many farm- • ere shows that splendid results have been secured from only ten to twelve pounds of good seed, A.. great deal de- pends ou how much of the seed germs. nates in either case, and the question is how much seed would give the best yields of hay if different rates of seed- ing were tested under uniform condi- tions. Ten rates of Seeding were made at Rocky Ford, Colo., on the expert - Ment station farm. The lowest seeding was two pounds per acre, with an increase of two. pounds per acre up to twenty pounds. The seed was sown under ideal condi- tions on a •very uniform Held. The test was made in duplicate, one series with common alfalfa and another with Baltic alfalfa. Records have been completed on four cuttings of hay dur- ing 1913. There is very little differ- ence in the tons of bay per acre, and the records should be continued for several years before the results will. indicate what rate is best, The thin rates of seeding made coars- er, more stemmy hay, while the very thick seedings gave very fine leafy hay, almost too fine to get the maxi- mum yield. The thin stands were more weedy the first' and second sea- sons. while the thick seedings were al- most free from weeds the second year. Plots seeded with eight to ten pounds of seed per acre were the best, all points considered. If conditions are good for germination, `ten to twelve pounds of good alfalfa seed should give satisfactory results, and if conditions are not good twenty or even thirty pounds will not insure a stand.

To those who sleep in a kind of a way, but whose rest is b oken into by fearful dreams, nightmares, sinking and smother- ing sensations, who wake in the morning as tired as when they went to bed, we can recommend Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. By taking them you can have your old, peaceful, undisturbed, refresh- ing sleep back again. Mrs. Chas. Teel, , Horncastle, Ont., writes:—"Just a few lines to let you know what Milburri's Heart and Nerve Pills did for me. My heart and nerves were so bad I could not sleep, and the least noise or excitement would make me Seel so that I used to think I was going to die, and I would tremble until I could hardly stand. I took doctor's medicine, but it did not do me much good. At last I tried Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills, and I can certainly say they did me a great amount of gcod. 1 can re- commend them to anyone who is suffer- ing as I was."

The Possibilities of That • Territory and What Can Be Grown. Se far as topography. soil and ell - mate determine the lnntter, Alaska has Probably 100,000 square miles of area ou which there are possibillties for farming and grazing. Tie larger por- tion of the farming land is in the in- terior, in the Yukon drainage, according to the department of agriculture's new bulletin, entitled "Possible Agricultur- alt Development of Alaska." •Currants, raspberries, gooseberries, strawberries, blueberries and cranber- ries are plentiful in Alaska. Varieties of wheat, oats, rye, barley, potatoes and many other vegetables have MII- tured every season since ,the depart- ment started its work at its two most northern experiment stations. The de- partment has four stations. One is on the Yukon within seventy-five miles of the arctic circle, another is also in the interior, while there is one in the •southeastern and another in the south- weetern portion of the territory. It has been positively demonstrated that forage crops may be grown in the southwestern and central portions as well as potatoes and other garden veg- etables. Chicken raising is also prov- ing feasible. .11 has also been estimat- ed that a Brent number of farm prod- ucts are shipped in that plight easily be raised on the ground. The new bulletin on Alaska, while citing so many optimistic facts, also ON A FA= IN ALASKA. warns the homesteader that there are many difficulties to he encountered. On the south coast, where the Cli- mate is mild, tilla hie land is scarce be- cause of the proximity or the moun- tains to the shore line. Elsewhere in Alaska the winters are long sold very cold, and I'rostproof buildings meat be provided for shelter or family and stock. The swampy character of much of the surface of Alaska mulles it a great breeding ground for mosquitoes and gnats, which- are almost intolerable pests to both men and beast. It 11180 makes drainage a prerequisitetisItoe 10 or- der to remove the surplus water so that the land can be worked, raise the temperature of tbe surface soil, lower the frost line, facilitate the decay of. the accumulated organic matter and bring about chemical changes which will transform the soil froni a very acid condition to one much less so. Nature requires much time fol• this last process. ,Where the vegetable accumulations are largely moss this must be destroy- , ed either by burning or by carting it from the land, for if plowed under it decays very- slowly and seems to have an injurious effect on most crop plants. I The timber growth. which occurs on practically all the land suitable for tillage, must, of course, be cleared from the land. • All this" work -building houses and barns. draining, clearing land of moss and timber.ts very slowly accom- plished in the short outdoor working season, if done single Minded by the homesteader and costly, ;almost pro- bibitively so if hnead hi is used. be- ; untie of the high wages and living ex- penses.

' As the time approaches to clean up ash pits and bins and to distribute .ash piles, it is well to be reminded of the value of this product. Coal ashes may be put upon the land if the coarsest portions are raked or sifted out, and these clinkers will serve as drainage or foundations for walks about the baruyard and poultry yard. Fine coal ashes may be worked into a clay soil with very good effect of rendering It more porous as well as supplying some of the chemicals nec- essary to the growth of plants. For fertilizing the lawn nothing is better than fine wood ashes, and if distributed during the winter and early spring the result will be a heavy growth of grass.. All small fruits and orchard trees are benefited by a treatment of ashes, and borers that work around the base of the trunks of trees are almost entirely prevented from entering the bark. A moderate amount of ashes and soot worked into the soil around roses greatly increases the richness and bril- liance of coloring in tbe blossoms and makes fine foliage. Cnre must be taken not to loosen the roots, as roses like rich, firm loll. . I Clover .seed Recleaned. Barron county, Wis., produced a large quantity ur clover seed which in the past bas been dumped upon the' market as it eines from the huller. As a result a very low price has been realized. A county agent has organ- ized a co-operative company to reclean the seed and put It on the market in car lots. This county has also organ- ized a live stock exchange, with the county agent's office as a clearing house.
