Practical Hints.

A correspondent of the Maine Farmer
advocates the raising of turnips and the
sugar beet for the benefit OF stock, especial
ly cows.
Referring to the practice of washing sheep
lust before shearing time, ex-Gov. Brown
of Mass. condemns it, says 1--WE do
hope that the annual ducking Of men and
sheep in the cold water of our mountain
streams in the spring of the year will not
be continued much longer. We believe
the wool can pc cleansed at mills much
more advantageously.'
The great New York farmer, John Johns
ton, advises the growth of corn (where it
will grow welD instead OF roots for cattle.
Ex-Gov. Brown thinks differently. Per-
haps that advice is better for New York
than for Maine. He also says ..When |
see man draining his farm and cartiDg
out notable piles OF well-rotted manure.
consider him safe. He can borrow money
to make improvements, and the sheriff will
not often tie up at his hitching-post.

Horses of great reputation have always
commanded great price, and always will as
men of means as general thing take great
pride in owning fast horses. AT New
market, in 1905, a bay colt, by Pipato, sold
for $4,000. In the same year, two year
old colt, by Beningborough, two year old
by Volunteer, and a three year old filly by
Sir Peter, were sold for $4,000 EACH
For the celebrated horse Shark $50,
was refused and O'Kelly declined to accept
an offer of SlOO, 900 tor his stallion Eclipse
Tradition says that the Duke of Devonshire
refused for Flying Childers the weight of
the horse in gold. A few years ago, the
great sire Stockwell could not be bought
tor 100000, and we presume that when
Gladiateur was carrying everything before
him on the English turf, Count de Lag
range would not have parted with him for
$4,000, Coming to America, we hnd that
nearly $4,000 was paid for Lexington,
and that his son, Kentucky, was sold for
$4,000 Mr. Alexander refused $4,000
for Asterold, Kentucky's half-brother, and
Norfolk. another halfbrother, was valued
at 1000 Mr.. Bonner paid 325 900 for
Dexter and offers slOO, 900 for one that can
equal Dexter's wagon time.

GLIMPSE AT AN IRISH CITY.

Among the recent visitors to Cork Is
a correspond nt of the Wheeling (Wcst
Nirginia) lntelligcncer, who thus re-
cords hi impressions of the place:
Cork seems to be city where trade
commerce and manufactures are in
hourishing condition. Large ships and
small -chooncrs, large ocean steamers
and small tug steamboats,. are peacefully
rcpo~ing at the quays secure from the
strife ot ocean. The docks and wharfs
are crowded with carts and drays, and
the merchandise loading and unloading
on the quavs and railroad stations give
little indication OF want or distress.
There are some fine public buildings in
Cork. The new Provincial Bank is a
chastc and beautiful piece Of architcc-
ture. The warehouses and business

all sorts and conditions. from the lowly
stone, white and slated rows of cot

Some old houses NAV still be seen that

buildings of any description, and no

A VENERABLE OLD AGE.-The following,

reply given here, not that she was quite as
old as she claimed: When the Fifteenth
Pennsylvania Cavalry entered the town Of
Dawson, Georgia, in the spring Of 1865,
among those who welcomed them was .
negro woman whose appearance denoted
extreme old age. Impelled by curiosity, one

SLEEP.-Every man must sleep ac-
cording to his temperament. But
eight hours is the average. 1T one re-
quires little more or little less. he
will find it out for himself Whoever,
by work, pleasure, sorrow. or By any
other cause, is regularly diminishing
his sleep, is destroying his life. A
man may hold out for a time, but nature
keeps close accounts, and no man can
dodge her settlements. We have seen
impoverished railroads that could not
keep the track in order, nor spare the
engines to lie thoroughly repaired.
Every year, track and equipment de-
teriorated. BY and by comes crash,
and the road is in a heap Of confusion
and destruction. SO it is with men.
They cannot spare time to sleep e.
nough, They slowly run behind.
Symptoms Of general waste appear.
Premature wrinkles, weak eyes, de-
preston of spirits, failure of digestion,
feebIeness in the morning. and over
whelming melancholy these and other
signs show general dilapidation. If,
now, sudden calamity causes an extra
ordinary pressure. they go down under
it. They have no resources to draw
upon. They have been living up to
the verge of their whole vitality every
day - L. f. Hale.
