Oxford sheep originated In England In the early part of the 19th century from a crons of Cotswold and Hamp shire Downs. They have been known alnce 1857 as Oxfordshire or Oxford Downs, and are now widely distributed over the United States and Can ada. They are the largest and hear lest of the Down breeds. When In good flesh the rams should weigh 25( to 275 pounds, and the ewes from 20C to 225 pounds. The wool is rathei coarser than any other of the medium wool breeds, and the fleece Is heavier weighing from 10 to 12 pounds un washed. The face Is usually an even dark gray or brown, with or without a graj spot on the tip of the nose. They ar best adapted for lands furnishing good pasture, and do not succeed aa well under range conditions or on rugged broken pastures. The ewes are verj prolific, triplets being not uncommon The lambs grow rapidly and are ol good form. The chief ehortcomlni of the breed is thut it Is not as hard) as some others.

From the methods which are so necesasry to success throughout the west, farmers In the more humid districts of the east can often gain valuable suggestions with regard to the proper conservation of moisture. One lesson which may be learned is In reference to the treatment of the Htuall grains. The eastern fanner usually considers wheat, oats and barley as crops which cannot be cultivated. Consequently no attention is paid to them from the time they are auwn until they are ready to harvest. Not so with the farmer. He cultivates his grain fields after every rain from the time (hey are well started In the spring until they are too high to allow of further cultivation, Bays the Country Gentleman. The spike-tootharrow is used for the earlier workings; as the grain grows larger the weeder la substituted. Uy means of the latter Implement grain may be cultivated almost up to the time when It begins to head. The advantages of this cultivation . are In the first place It serves to break the crust which is so likely to form after tbs spring rains, and to close the cracks which the frost has made in the winter grain fields. This lessens the evaporation of moisture, which Is most rapid from crusted or cracked soil, and conaerves It until It Is most needed by the growing crop. The advantage of this precaution Is most apparent In the seml-arl- d districts, hut in dry seasons It la noticeable everywhere. In the east rolling winter wheat as soon as It is safe to go on the ground In the spring la perhaps to be preferred to harrowing. If clover la planted with the wheat It should be own before the rolling la done. The rolling covers the clover seed and also firms the soil about the roots of the wheat plants where It has been loosened by heaving. The other effect of cultivation la In the keeping down of weeds, and for this purpose It is Just as useful and just as necessary In the east aa In the west Small weeds are very easily killed with the harrow or weeder, and If the work la properly done the grain will not be Injured. Three precautions are necesasry In handling small grain.. Drilled grain only should be harrowed, for cultivation destroys a portion of the stand of that which haa been sown broadcast and no lessens the yield. For tbe same reason tbe harrowing should be done In the direction of the drill rows rather than across them. Fields on which grass or clover seed has been own should not be harrowed, for the young plants are aa easily killed by this treatment aa are the weeds. None of these precautions need be observed if the roller la used on winter grain, but the roller Is of little or no use In killing weeds. In the east, except In the driest seasons, It will not usually be profitable to harrow grain fields more than onco. Another lesson which may be learnla the disking ed from the of land which la to be plowed later In order to keep the soil from baking until the plowing can be completed. This practice was begun In the west on grain stubble after harvest In or der to bold whatever moisture was in the soil, for usually little rain falls after that time. Since the disking can be done much more rapidly than the plowing, there is less chance for evaporation, and the land then remains for some time In good condition for plowing. In addition to remaining In condition to plow for a much longer period, land which haa been disked Is much less inclined to break up In clods and lumps than undiaked soil, and hence la more easily put in condition for The loose earth which la planting. thrown to the bottom of the furrow unites much more readily with the furrow slice, and no larger air spaces are left.
