Look to the Increase.

Whether or not a man makes
money by handling sheep depends
largely upon the manner in which
he handles the lambs. By a slight
additional expense and the bestowal
of some extra labor, lambs can be
started off nicely in the Spring, and
kept growing through the entire
Summer. Good fresh pasturage
should be provided for them at wean-
ing time. This is best secured by
using meadow set to timothy and
clover, and from which the crop
has been mown. If this is not to
be had, a pasture that has been
pretty closely cropped in the earlier
part of the Summer should have
all the stock. taken off two or three
weeks before the lambs are to be
turned in. 1t is better that the
grass should be short, though
plenty of it. A few old dry ewes
should be kept with the weaned
lambs until they have learned to
drive and come at the call of the
shepherd. Some kind of grain
we prefer shelled corn-should be
given after the first Of September,
increasing the quantity of corn un-
til they can take a full feed without
injury, before hard weather. Hand
led in this manner, lambs receive
no "backset" by being taken from
their mother, even as early as the
first of August. Under no circum.
stances should Spring lambs be
allowed to run with the dam later
than the first of September. Any
supposed advantage to the lamb is
more than lost through the drain on
the eve.

Hardy Sheep.

The last Monthly Report of the
Department of Agriculture, refer
ring to the experiment of Mr.. w.
S. Rand, of Lewis Co., Ken, in cs.
%tablishing a flock of sheep adapted
to the hilly surface of that region,
says that, "with a view to improve
the mutton and w%ool-bearing and
fattening qualities Of the small but
hardy, fleet native sheep in the coun,
ty, he crossed them with South
downs with very satisfactory re.
suits. But an attempt to cross this
improved grade with Cotswolds re-
suited in the same difficulty that oc-
CURED in crossing large with small
cattle. The lamb, at the time of
birth, was SO large that in many ca
scs both it and it's dam persisted.
He claims, however, to have sue.
ceeded in breeding a flock Of mixed
blood, in which the best qualities of
the Southdowns, the Cotswolds,
and tho natives are united"

Some Of the Newer Strawberries.

Mr.. Purdy, in the Small Fruit
Recorder, gives the following notice
Of some Of the newer strawberries,
but we think they may be taken
West, at least, with some grains of
allowance:
Emperor, healthy, fine plant.
Fruit, "meaty" and luscious large
dark crimson. Yields equal to Ju-
cunda, and sells for nearly as much.
Green Proliic-this variety with
us, and we believe with most plant
crs, proves more profitable than
Wilson's. Fruit large and fine
when well fertilized. It's a good
plan to have every third row of the
lucinda, which when we'll mixed
with them, gives them a better color
and sells them for good round
prices. The plants are SO strong
and healthy, and certainly yield
equal to the Wilson's with us, and
sell for better prices. Charles
Downing--the old Hovey Seeding
over, only better bearer-deli-
%cious, and so large and uniform in
size. Boyden's 80, SO fine and
"meaty." The only fault is in not
ripening evenly. Similar in this
respect to the Russell. Kentucky
ali! here's the sort for lateness-
magnificent fruit, too. So even in
size, of such a beautiful scarlet. 1t
paid us well this year, for when we
were picking largely from them,
most other sorts were gone, and
prices had gone up, so that we sold
all readily for twelve to fifteen
cents, right at home.
A few words as to some other
sorts The Colonel Cheney is a
magnificent sort very productive,
and SO large and of such a beautiful
bright color, and Of such luscious
quality, too. The plant resembles
the Wilson's Albany very much, be-
ing equally as robust and hardy, and
as prolific thus far with us.

Graham Rolls.

Take cold Graham pudding, mix
in either Graham or white flour
until you have as stiff dough; when
thoroughly mixed, cut in pieces of
an equal size, take one piece at a
time, sprinkle well with fine -four,
roll in the hands, patting the ends
to keep them even until you have a
roll three or four inches long and
one and one-half thick, lay them
on a platter or moulding board,
have the oven the right heat, not
quite as hot as for water gems-but
about right for milk gems-wing
off the CRATE, lay them about one
inch apart. If baked right they
will be a light brown, and light
enough to crack open. Corn meal
pudding can be used in the same
way by working in Graham, white
or rye flour. This is very convent.

Ex apartments in Curing Hay with
Lime.

A1mos
Last Summer l put about FIVE tons
Of hay in one stack, composed of
about one-third each of timothy,
clover, and weeds. 1t was put up
the same day it was cut, and was
quite green. ! sprinkled it plenti-
fully with lime, about half air.
slaked. 1t commenced to heat i'm
mediately, and got SO hot 1 thought
it would burn, but in twenty-four
hours it had cooled off. 1t kept
remarkably well, nodded only where
there were large stalks Of weeds.
The cattle ate it, but did not like
the lime. I put the same amount
Of hay in a barn. This hay was
better cured and drier than the
other, and to this l added both lime
and salt, but it did not keep as well
as the other. The salt appeared
to draw as much dampness as the
lime took up, which rendered il
useless. In another barn l put hay
that was well cured. l added lime
to it also. The horses did moi
relish it as well as that which had
no lime, but they appeared healthier
and had less cough than when fed
on hay that was not lined. Iwould
not advise the use of lime only il
freestone country. A certain
amount of lime is necessary to make
bone for all animals, but in a lime
stone country they often get toe
much, which causes diseases of thu
intestines and bladder.-Cor. ~ e

Attorney Butter.

As the business of the section for
25 or 80 miles around Philadelphia,
is undoubtedly the dairy-butter,
milk or cheese, l think we should
continually keep the subject before
the people, through the pages of the
Practical Farmer. A butter dairy
suits me the best ; and l not only
have tried to have the best cows
myself, but visit my neighbors, see
what they are doing, and also keep
an eye on the markets. Some far.
mers get far more than l do, and in
fact the price of good butter varies
from rs cents up to 81 per pound.
No other market production varies
SO much in price as butter. Certain
brands seem to sell readily at high
figures, which l really believe are
no better than my own-and after a
large amount of tasting and examin-
ing, (being a good judge Of butter
myself, and only being able to cat a
strictly prime articlc,) l have con.
Guided that pure Alderney butter
has a taste of its own, and that you,
good people of Philadelphia are not
used to it, and do not at first like it.
There are two prominent elements
in milk-oil and casein-the latter
being the essential ingredient in
cheese. In the milk of many COWS
this casein predominates, does not
separate readily from the oil, the
ingredient Of butter, and when
churned together, gives a certain
cheesy taste to it. Then again, OF
my own knowledge, many farmers
use annato or other artificial color.
ing matter, all the time, both winter
and summer.
Prime butter, I contend, is made
from the pure oil of milk, free from
all coloring matter and from all
casein. Nothing is more healthy
than such butter ; and it is healthy
and nutritious even for an infant.
Now it is admitted all around, so
far as l know, that Jersey and
Guernsey COWS. have less foreign
matter in their milk than any other
breed. Their butter requires no
coloring, summer or winter-and
while they would be very unprofita-
BILE in a cheese factory, or in a milk
dairy, | contend they I just the
breed for those whose taste appre-
ciates pure butter made from pure
cream.
l advise my n%eighbors to select
Attorney COWS and their crosses
having some experience that this
kind of butter will ultimately work
its way among wealthy classes,
who are willing to pay for q prime
article, even though at first they
may not like it. The quality differs
a little from what people are used
to, but l never lose a customer after
the Attorney butter has been tried
three times.-R. j., IN Practical
Farmer.
