SABLE sHEEP,—I1t hasalways been a
question whether it is possible to breed
a flock of black sheep, and an extensive
flockmaster of Australia is testing the |
watter by sending all bis black lambs |
to a range by themselves These can- |
not truthfully Le called freaks of na- |
ture, as some claim, or if so there would
Le less of it. Still, here is sowething
about it not well understood, Black |
lambs m«y not occur in a flock in gen- |
erations and then recur of a sudden. If
a black ram be used in a flock of white |
ewes, more than nine-tenths of the off- |
spring will be white. Cases often occur
where both sire aud dam are black, and |
the lambs white. As something does |
not come from nothing, black blood |
must be diffused through most flocks, |
Where wool is to be dyed a deep color,
1t is claim-d that the *‘basic pigment” |
of black wool being already provided, it |
absorbs less dye and makes more en- |
during color. However this may be,
there is a serious objection to black
sheep because their coats absorb more |
rays of the sun than white, affecting |
them by heat more readily and more
seriously.
Now that the season is over it is not |
out of place to call attention to the fact |
that if the disease is to be prevented |
next year something must be done with
the refuse (stems, decayed tubers, &ec.) |
and not allow it to be carried over!
through the winter. The Maine Agri- |
cultural Experiment Station has been |
at work in the endeavor to enlighten |
the farmers in regard to this disease,
but remedies during the growing season |
may be too late, and in order to avoid |
the difficulty all tops, leaves and decay- |
ing tubers should be burnt in order to |
destroy the spores. Do not throw them
on the compost heap, as the manure |
will only spread the disease another sea- |

BEES NEAR A HIGHWAY, — Bees
should not be nearer a highway than
one hundred feet, or to a house where
there are small children. An aplary
can extend up to a highway with safety,
provided there is a high board fence, or
hedge intervening, This obstruction
causes the bees to aim high in thelr
flight, which takes them oul of mis-
chief. It would be better for all bees
on a farm to be in a high board inclos-
ure, so that breechy animals wot l' not
