a correspondent of the Scientific
american gives the following di-
rections for using a kerosene lamp
so as to insure perfect safety. The
plan promises well and is worthy
of trial: 81 cram all the wick that
l possibly can into the lamp, ell up
the interstices with sponge, and
saturate the whole thoroughly with
kerosene. l have always found the
supply sufficient for the longest
winter night; as long as any oil re-
main in the wick, the lamp keeps
burning. l have had this fairly
tested. One of my little ones-a
two-year-old-contrived to upset .

With the exception of breaking the
glass, no further damage was done,
not even soiling the carpet. In
fact, my plan was brought about by
a similar accident, and a narrow es-
cape from serious damage As the
wick burns away, keep filling up
with the sponge, and | think have
the nearest approach to a safety

The correspondent of The Prairie
Farmer who lately attended the
Stock Grazicr's Convention At
Cheyenne, Wyoming, speaks in this
wise of the sheep ranch Of DR..
Latham and Judge Kingman, loca-
ted about sixteen miles from Chey-
enne. The ranch was reached in
little over an hour and q half, just
as the sheep were coming in for the
night. There are 5000 grade
American ewes, purchased in May
and June of the present year, and
delivered here by rail from Council
Bluffs, without the loss Of q single
one in transportation, at q cost of
$2.7s per head. Since their arrival
they have improved wonderfully.
They take kindly to the climate and
grazing. There are none sick and
less than dozen have died out of
the lot. There are two herders
employed, who are paid $25 per
month, allowed 81 week for board;
rae furnished with house, a team,
hcrding ponies and two dogs. The
only shelter provided is q corral,
with a close slab fence seven feet
high. The original Enclosure just
covered half an acre ofground, and
the sheep fill it completely, standing
up. This has been enlarged to give
room for the sheep to lie down-to
cover nearly an acre. 1t has an
eastern and southern exposure, be-
ing situated against hill side.
While supply Of hay has been
provided in case Of deep snow, it il
expected that there will be no oc-
casion to use it Western Rural.

A Good Farmer.

Joseph Harris, in his "Walks and
Talks" in the December number Of
tho american Agriculturiss, thus
relates how a good farmer manages
his work:
"Thc best farmer between me and
the city is a German, who a few
years ago worked by the month on
the farm he now owns. He saved
a little money, then rented farm
con shares" then he bought it, then
sold and bought larger one, and
now he has one Of the best farms in
the neighborhood, worth go, 00O.-
He is very Industrious, never seems
in hurry, but is always ahead with
his work. You always see him at
church Sundays, and on his farm
week days. He raises a good many
calves, and when l was only half
through husking he had his corn in
the crib and the stalks in the barn,
and fifteen head Of young cattle on
the stubble, picking up the leaves
and scattered ears. He has enlarg-
ed and reshingled the old barn,
given it a coat Of paint, put on gut
tiers and conducts the water into
. large cistern. His fences are ip
perfect order. The whole farm,
garden and orchard is a pattern of
neatness and thrift. No water
stands on his low land, no weeds go
to seed on his pasture. His back
lot, adjoining the woods, was COW
cred with partially decayed stumps,
brambles and weeds. He set fire to
the stumps, cleared the land, sum-
mer-fallowed it, and sowed it to
Diehl wheat, and got this Year,
forty bushels per acre. And 1t is
now in wheat again, and is probas
bly, good for over thirty bushels
next harvest. Everything he does
prospers. He is a 'lucky man
that is, he has good sense, and has
health, strength, energy and indus
try to use it,"
