SLATE Pencils. Twenty years ago all
the slate pencils used were manufactured
in Germany. In 1880 there was Il young
man living in West Rutland, w., eigh-
teen years of age, who fortunately dis
covered supply of stone for making a
irstclass article Of slate pencils lie
began by whiting out the pencils and
selling them to school children Being a
better article than that for sale in the
stores, he found ready sale for all he
could white out.
He argued that if they wonld sell thus
readily at home they would sell readily
everywhere. He became possessed of
the idea that there was fortune in the
businets, ,and his dream has been realized.
This quarry Of slate pencil stone is situa-
ted in large ravine, four miles north
Of Castleton, w., near Bomosenc Lake
The land on which it was situated was
for sale at one hundred dollars. lie
purchased it, ami began operations by
saving out the pencils and whiting them
round.
The business ot licking them grew i'm
mensely on his hands, so it was immpossi.

Machinery was invented to facilitate
the process, which has reached something
like perfection. and enormously increase,
the production of pencils. At present
the quarry and mills are owned by a
joint stock company. They are valued
at three hundred thousand dollars. From
fifty to one hundred thousand pencils
are turned out daily, and upwards of a
hundred, hands are employed in the
quarry and in the mill.
After the stone is quarried it passes
through four processes before it is made
into pencils. 1t is sawn into rectangular
blocks five inches by seven and split by
hand into slabs of the same length and
breadth, through machine which shaves
them all to the uniform thickness of an
inch, when they are ready for the final
process.
The machinery for reducing these
slabs to pencils consists of iron plates fit
ted to receive them, fastened to an end

either end.-Iron Age.

Influence of Climate on WOOL Growth.

The climate exerts a great influence
OIL the growth of wool, and if it has
to be produced of good and even
quality, this agency must be duly con-
sldered. It has been already men
toned that the pores of the skin act as
q sort of gauge for the wool, and it is
therefore perfectly clear that if sheep
are so much exposed to cold and wet
as to allow the skin to become chilled,
the size of the wool must be reduced
thereby; the extent of tue damage is,
consequently, regulated by the inten-
sity Of the cold. For this reason,
shelter from the full force of the cold
, winds is found to improve the staple
of the wool, and prevent, in some de-
gree, this inequality in the size of the
fiber. Injury arising from the wet
shows itself more generally by giving
the wool more the character of hair,
and thereby injuring its felting prop
critics. The excessive heat of Summer
has just the opposite influence. The
warmth Of the skin being considera-
bly, increased, the pores become more
open, and a cOarser wool is produced.
The injury thus OccasiOned is far from
cold and wet; but still, if we desire to
produce wool under the most favOra-
bic circumstances, we must give shell
ter from extreme heat as well as from
excessive cold.

Importance Of Breeding.

However much by judiciOus man
agement we may enable a flock to
produce wool under the most favora.
bic circumstances, it is perfectly clear
that the natural character Of the breed
will be very important agency q.
Management will go far to favor the
growth of good wool; but it certainly
cannot do all we need. Hence the
importance of securing sheep which
are of q suitable breed, and from
which we may be sure to obtain wool
of the desired quantity and weight i.
The value of lOng-cOntinued and care
full breeding is shown as forcibly in
the wool as in the general form of the
body. Those hOcks which, for sever
al successive generations, have MAIN
tanned one steady and uniform char
acter of WOOL, offer the best source
from which to breed when it is desir-
ed to improve the wool of any flock.
The buyers should not look for rams
suitable for this purpose without duly
considering the previous history of
the flock from which they may be
selected. Many a sheep possesses
the external qualifications desired
so far as the eye is able to iudge-but
unless the flock from which it has
been obtained has been carefully bred,
the buyer viii probably be disap
pointed. The value of q good wool
is a strong inducement for making its
growth as abundant and as good as
the local circumstances of a farm will

How Good Cider Is Made.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

Sound and ripe apples, washed
clean, are an indispensable requisite.
Wormy apples and those dropped
from the tree before they are ripe can
never make good cider. Indeed, a
few apples of this kind mixed in a
bushel of good apples will materially
inlure the flavor of the cider. Grind
the apples to fine pulp let the POM
ace remain in the watts 24hOurs before
the juice is expressed. If the weather
is so cool that fermentation will not
start, you may let the pOmace remain
four or five days, for if the pOmace is
pressed soon after the apples are
ground, juice will be light coiored
and destitute of that excellent flavor
and rich color which good cider al
ways possesses. In the usual way of
fermenting, cider soon becomes hard
and sour. This can be avoided by
taking q tin or Indian rubber tube,
and fitting it closely in the bung-hole
of the barrel, and placing the other
end of the tube in a cup Of water
But no air can enter the barrel; and
when the bubbles cease, fermentation
is completed and the cider may now
be racked off into clean barrels and
bunged tight.-RUTdE american.

Cabbage as Feed for Mich Ct VS..

I have had a little experience in this
line, and arc highly pleased with the
result; they come into feeding for
mich COWS after other fodder has
been killed by frost, and at a season
of scar city of other green food; their
value as q milk producing feed l think
stands fully equal to any other green
food I have ever fed ; and the product
that can be grown upon an acre is
very large. Probably the most diff
cult part is the storage for winter use.
To get the most benefit with the least
labor in storing and feeding is the
object Cor should be) of those who
raise any crop for green food for
stock; hence it will be necessary to
have some conyeniences for storing
and feeding the crop after tits grown.
For myself, l think the feeding should
begin as soon as green corn fodder is
injured by the frost; that is usually
the last of September or first of Octo-
Der; the mich COWS are then carried
on with a good flow Of milk, which is
much better than to let them fall away,
and then try to bring them back by
high feeding. l find that in changing
feed we must begin moderately, and
increase as the animals get used to
feed, to the full amount desired to be
fed then keep on steadily with that
till another change is desirable, or Of
necessity, must be made. Variety is
of great benefit for all farm stock, and
changes are often of great benefit to
neat stock, more so than at first APP
pears. The feeding of cabbages III
connection with hay and meal, as
proposed by " A Subscriber" will be
found very beneficial; at least such

Influenza in Horses.

In the treatment of influenza, the
strength of the patient must be sup
ported. If what has been called
heroic treatment is resorted to, viz :
bleeding and purging, influenza
proves very fatal disease. From
the beginning the strength of the ami
NAL must be sustained. The horse
should be placed in comfortable airy
box or stable, and the body clothed
according to the state of the tempera-
ture. til generally advisable to give
stimulants and tonics from the first,
as quart of good beer three times a
day, in which might be mixed one
ounce of nitrous ether. The bowels
should be opened gently by means of
oysters, and if the throat is tender a
stimulating embrocatiOn should be
well rubbed into the submaXillary
space, or head of the Windpipe. Of
course many of the stimulants used in
veterinary practice are useful in influ-
enza, but we just mention such as can
be easily procured. The horse should
also be encouraged to take food that
is easily digested, and the clothing
should be removed at least twice a
day, and the body we'll rubbed over.
AS recovery takes place slowly it is
greatly expedited by The use Of tonics.
