A Kansas wool and wheat grower writes the Indianapolis Press; On the 27th day of November, 1881, 1 began running my herd of about 4(J0 sheep on 105 acres of "volunteer" wheat, and continued to pasture them there until March 1st, except lour or five days, when the ground was too soft.

After March 1st, and until March 20th, I pastured the same herd on wheat that had been sown in the fall. The result was that each piece of ground yielded twenty-live bushels to tite acre when cut. So much lor wheat. The result of wheat pasturing for wool I find very satisfactory. One year ago my herd came oil' the fall pasture very poor, but with wheat pasture during the winter they greatly improved, and about the first of June following they yielded nine and one-third pounds of wool per head, while the herd belonging to the Holmes boys, being the very same grade of sheep as mine, and coming oil' the fall pasture fat, but being winter-fed with dry feed, sheared only eight pounds to the head.

This winter I am wintering on green wheat, of which I have 200 acres. I am also feeding stalk fields. That is to say, I herd one hour on the alks, then move on to the wheat two hours, then corral lor noon, and give them the same feed in the afternoon. I have ted my sheep, corn and fodder only three times this winter, so far, and then only on account of the soft condition of the wheat fields. I expect to shear ten pounds to the head the first of next June.

My sheep look splendid now. My sheep cost me thirty-six cents per head to winter them last winter, with an increase of three pounds of wool to the head, owing to wheat pasture. Three years ago, before we had sheep, we had ninety acres of very rank wheat which was not pastured back. In April a severe frost literally ruined the wheat, and we did not cut it; whereas if it had been pistured down by sheep in January and February, we would have harvested bushels. If I had no sheep I would have my wheat pastured by some one who had; that is, whenever it had a good rank growth before the middle of March.

Another great benefit to be derived from pasturing wheat with sheep is, that it keeps the breeding ewes in much better condition for lambing, the green feed making a great flow of milk, which is important for the lambs, and causes the ewes to own and take care of them better. If the ewe's bag is made painfully full she will seek relief from her lamb, and become much attached to it. A Youthful Smoker. From the Nashville Banner. The passengers in a Nashville (Term.) street car were treated to a comical sight the other night.

Little Charlie Jackson was with his mother in the car. To the amusement of the passengers, the little fellow, still in short dresses, pulled a large cigar out of his pocket and with the gravity of an old smoker placed it in his mouth and, after the manner of Gov. Bate, indulged in a "dry smoke." His mother says that this is his regular habit, and that he becomes irritable and nervous unless he can suck a cigar a certain number of times a day. On starting last night he asked his father for a cigar, and was told that if he smoked in the car he would be put He cried, however, until he got his "weed" and then started off contented. The child's mother says that she seldom lets him light his cigar, but when he is permitted to do so he smokes with great relish.

He was never made sick by smoking. The champion drunkard of the world is a woman named Jane Johnson, of England, now 84 years of age.
