Effects of Feed on Wool.

The following is a brief extract from
an interesting communication read by
L. II. Merrill at a recent meeting of the
New York Farmers Club d" From thou
sands of experiments made In Germany
it has been demonstrated that hay alone
will not produce as much wool nor as
perfect as when straw and other sub
stances are mixed. It must be repeated,
that variety of food only will furnish
those perfect proportions of organic
and inorganic matters of which wool is
composed. If we give the sheep too
much food of a carbonized or fattening
character the fibers of the wool, being
tubular in formation, distend or become
coarser, and the weight is certainly in
creased but, on the contrary, if fed a
number of kinds, and Astounding in al
bumen, the fiber will be much increased
in length, not so much in diameter,
simply, because the varieties of food
supply to a greater extent the sub
stances requisite to form the flament.
This may be termed natural wool, the
quantity or weight of which will be as
great as that produced by feeding
proper food, which has the effect to in
crease the diameter of the fiber at the
expense of the length and make it harsh
and why. The &c. mans abhor feeding
large quantities of fattening food in
growing Saxon wool, as the effect is to
destroy its delicate texture, and its value
is diminished for the manufacture OF the
sOftest and fines fabrics. The American
wool-grower need not Over-feed, simply
with view to make heavy feeces, as
the wool of the sheep, when fat, is
comparatively coarse, and the expense
OF the food used in placing them in
this condition, together with the reduc-
ton in the value of it, will more than
counter balance the gain from the in
creased weight. The wool of the
S lxon and Merino variety is never so
beautiful and perfect in all respects as
when it is natural, and this follows
only from keeping the sheep in healthy
store order and nothing beyond that.
The feeding of grain by the Germans
is simply as equivalents, hay always
being the standard by which the guam
tity of any kind of food, daily, is de-
termined. Their aim is not to incre Sc
the flesh and fat at the expense of the
wool or its valuable proportions and if
we ever expect to rival them IN the ex-
tensive production of the most beauti-
full and perfect wool In tn world, and
at the least sacrifice, we must initiate
their economy in feeding and unsur-
passed mode of management IN all
things"

Oranges and Lemons.

The full grown orange tree yields
from five hundred to two thousand or
anges yearly, and arrives at the bearing
state IN from three to five years. The
lemon tree begins to bear in the same
time The plantations of these trees in
the Mediterranean countries are called
gardens. Great care Is taken in gather
ingand handling the fruit. tits gathered
in baskets like our peach basket, lined
with canvas, which are attached to the
neck or shoulders by means of a strap.
The fruit is taken from the garden to
the packing magazine, where, after be-
ing assorted by women and wrapped in
paper by young girls, it Is packed for
shipment by experienced females. Some
employ five hundred per
sons, who get from nine to fifteen cents
per day. In sorting the fruit all want
ing stems are rejected. The boxes arc
securely covered, strapped and branded
with the owners name.

Cotton Factories in the South.

No branch of industry has proved
SO successful in the southern states since
the war as cotton factories-a number
of which have within the past two years
sprung up In Georgia, Alabama and
other states. Instead of shipping cot
ton in bales to Europe and New Eng
land, and importing the manufactured
article at high prices, in several of the
states the cotton is manufactured within
a few miles of the plantation, and thus,
the cost of export and importation Is
saved to the producing states. One
company-the GraHiteville Cotton COM
pany, near Augusta, Georgia-last year
divided over twenty-five per cent on
their capital between stockholders, and
even more gratifying results have been
achieved by other attempts in the same
direction. The southern press, from
these experiments, advocate the erection
OF cotton mills wherever water power
IN the cotton-prOduciDg region is attain
able. All the states are blessed with
abundant water power. and there is no
reason why the rivers of the south ten
years hence should not be dotted with
manufactures like the rivers of New
England, and about them spring up
towns swarming with honest, industri-
GUS operatives. New England has had
a monopoly Of the cotton manufacture
long enough, and the south, or at least
those states that have escaped from car
pet-bag rule, by fostering care can sue
cessfully compete with her. As an ex-
ira inducement for capital to seek in
vestment south, the Legislatures might
wisely enact laws exempting the mills
from taxation Dor a stated period. The
benefits sure to accrue would more than
compensate for the remission of taxes
on this kind of prOperty.-NeaO York

Rearing Ducks.

There are no kinds of domestic poul-
try more easily kept than ducks.
Their appetite is such that almost any
thing thrown to the pigs is acceptable,
and on this account many object to
them, saying they eat too much. It is
no doubt true that more food is re-
quired to rear young ducks than chicks,
but this is overbalanced by their quick
maturity, after which no more food is
required for ducks than hens. Disease
seldom finds its way into the duck yard,
unless caused by feeding ducklings too
much hard or uncooked food.
Keep the young ducks from water,
save enough to drink, until about two
weeks old; then let them have full
range. Ducks can besuccessfully bred in
dry yards, with only pan of water, but
no farmer having pond or stream of
convenient for ducks should do without
them, for in such cases very little food
is required, save what can be found by
them in and around such places. At
early dawn they may be seen very &C
tive in scratching up worms that find
their way to the surface of the ground
in pastures, thereby benefting rather
than injuring the soil.-iSoutheTn Plan

Dogs and their Cost.

The st. Louis Globe has been making
some calculations from recent statistics
on this question, and sums up in refer
ence to the state of Missouri as fol-
lows:
Our 100000 dogs furnish one of the
most important economic considerations
now affecting thestate. In the first place,
they initiate against the mutton crop
annually to the extent of at least S.
900, 900 secondly, they cost at an av-
erage of % cent week each, Sc, 500, 600
enough to run all our common schools
and leave a large stealabIe surplus !;
thirdly, they Stay annually through
hydrophobia, at least 120 persons,
which, at SIS, 900 each-the average
price paid by railroads for the very
poorest of rakesmen-amOunts to the
further sum of 5000, 600. Here is a di-
rect expenditure of nearly 81, $50, 600
for dogs, not to mention the fines, costs
and more remote sentimental damages
resulting from lawsuits about dog
fights and consequent severance of
friendship between the owners of the
combative ours. Capitalized, our dogs
represent a waste of $50, 900, anG
invested at compound interest, their
worthlessness would pay off the ma
tiOnal debt before 1900.
