Management or Sheep.

A SHEEP likes freedom and pure air
Hence you will find it on uplands rather
than in the valleys. 1t also seeks dry
places, and suffers from great heat. These
are principles that should always be KEEP
in view. There are others. A sheep loves
association, both of place and kind. II
will therefore herd, and will even bear q
moderate crowding at times; only give II
air and dry, comfortable place, never
cooping it up in confined air, which will
soon be made foul by it. If you conform
to these principles, you need but give il
sufficient wholesome food to meet with
success. There Is some difference In
breeds with respect to treatment, etc, but
not SO much as many suppose. A sheep
will feed upon great variety of grasses
and even weeds; yet 1t will do best upon
what it selects for itself, and thus variety
is desirable.
A large amount of grain is not profit
able. Grass is the natural feed--grass in
summer, and clover hay, cut in blossom
in winter. Such clover hay alone will
keep them fat winter and spring; it keeps
the body in good, healthy condition, gives
sickness and weight to the wool, and IL
The cheapest food that can be raised. As
two crops of clover two cuttings) can be
grown in season, reaching from four to
six tons per acre On good land, the force
of this will be seen. We find 1t best to
feed this hay rather early in the fall, pro
viding shelter from the cold rains and wei
SHOWS, which do more harm than Is usu
ally supposed. The wool, instead Of be

Pruning at Midsummer.

1T is many years since, from our own
experience, we recommended people to
prune at midsummer, although we knew
it was opposed to the views Of many emf
nent horticulturists. At that time it was
regarded as bold innovation on estab-
lished rules, and we have often since seen
articles to show that summer pruning
must be wrong. The reasoning by which
this is supported is no doubt very good.
1t does not seem, by the reasoning have
referred to, that it ought to be wrong to
prune at this season, but, on the other
hand, we have the evidence of our own
senses not only that no harm but absolute
good resulted from the summer pruning
of the trees.
But it seems to be forgotten by many
good people that there are two sides to
every story--two sides to winter pruning
and two sides to summer pruning. Few
of these horticultural operations are un-
mixed good or unmixed evil. many case
what we wish to accomplish is to be
gained at little expense to good points
good if we are after some other object.
SO in this summer pruning question. 1t
is said by some persons whom the whole
community respect, that "winter pruning
strengthens while summer pruning weak
ems trees" If one were to deprive tree
of the whole of its foliage this would prob
ably be true enough to work serious in
jury. 1t is on the principle on which nox-
ious weeds are destroyed. Denuded of
every leaf as fast as one appears, a plant is
often killed in one season. But may this
not be different when only q few branches
are taken Off The remaining leaves and
branches have more food at their disposal.
What was intended for a thousand
branches is now to be divided among 900
But we will not enter into these minute
points of physiological science. 1t is
enough for practical men to know that
the cutting away of a few branches has
never been known to work any serious
injury, while the ease with which the
wound heals over is in striking contrast
with the long time it takes winter
wound to get new coat of bark over it.
We have seen in vigorous, healthy tree
a stout branch of two inches in diameter
taken of, in which the new bark nearly
covered the stump In two years. In win
ter the same spot would have been sew
eral years in closing over, and perhaps
the parts would decay first, and thus lay
the foundation Of future disease in the
tree. So we'll is this known that in many
places where winter pruning is practiced
to any great extent 1t is not unusual TO
have shellac or some other composition
ready to paint over the wounds, to keep
out the weather until 1t shall have been
closed over by the new bark.
OF course heavy loss OF foliage would
be serious loss to a tree; but it is very
rare that any tree has been so much neg
lected as to need the half or even the
fourth of its branches taken off in cum
mer time. But there are in many cases
branches here and there along the trunks
of trees which it is an advantage to the
tree to lose; and thinning which may be
done in various ways to advantage, and
in such cases summer pruning will tell a
good tale.-G Germantown Telegraph.

Then the pale-green clover, fra
grant and tender, thrown to them in
racks, will cause their growth to continue
as on grass. This feed has a similar
effect to that of late grass before the frost
has hurt it. 1t avoids costiveness on the
one hand and securing on the other, be-
ing deprived of its water and yet retain.
ing the property of the juices. In the in
tervals of good weather the sheep may be
turned out again; but they will seek from
preference the shelter and the clover.
Sheep are very domestic in their nature.
Have them tame, ready and eager to fol.
low your call; you can then manage them
as you please-the whole flock as one
sheep. If fall and winter housing are a
benefit, so is summer protection. Shelter
from the heat should be provided; the
sheep will be but too glad to resort to it,
Good treatment is an important element
in keeping sheep. They need to be kept
constantly in good condition. This re.
quires care as well as good feed. If the
hay lacks a little from over-ripeness or bad
curing, supply roots or little grain; bet
ter feed more grain, even if costly, than
let your sheep run down; then there will
always be "a full growth of wool and
strong, healthy lambs, capable of with
standing the cold. There will also be less
disease, and your sheep will always com.
mand their full value, and will sell when
others cannot be disposed Of Liue Stocl

Violet Ink.-Dissolve sre-half ounce
gum Arabic in one pint OF hot water.
Then add sufficient violet aniline dye to
make it the right color. A few cents
worth will make one pint of ink. Get
violet dye at the drug store.
Iced Apples.-Pare, core and slice
apples of large, tart kind. Bake them
till nearly done. Put them away to get
entirely cold; then prepare some sugar
icing, and, first pouring off all the juice,
lay the icing thickly on the tops and
sides, as much as you can. Return them
to the oven to just harden and set. Serve
with cream.
Bread and Apple Pudding
bread in slices and dip them in cream.
Line pudding dish with slices, then put

Making Citric Acid.-Treat fresh
lemon juice with powered chalk until all

How to Tell Mushrooms.-Sprinkle
salt on the spongy part of the gill of the

Speed in Oxen.

1T rs matter of great surprise that so
little attention is paid to the quality Of
speed in working oxen. Our agricultural
fairs have been very generally turned into
mere horseraces, in the rage for fast
roadsters. Speed in horseflesh is, to a
large extent, the mania of the day Good
draught horses-sound, steady workers, OF
fine form and powers of endurance-have
had to stand aside and let the trotters oc
cupy public attention.
But we have scarcely ever seen the i'm
portance of cultivating quickness Of
movement in working oxen alluded to
And yet there are farmers who will follow
yoke of oven around field, blowing,
or drawing loads, at snail's pace, now
and then applying the CAD with a shou
OF "go along" but making scarcely more
than half dozen rounds of ten-acre lo
in the course of day. Oxen are pro
verbally slow, but they are capable o
improvement in this respect as well a
other animals, and more attention ough
to be paid to cultivating in them a quicl
step. In Oriental countries, especially il
India, they are used extensively for the
road, in place of horses, and they may
often be seen trotting off at spanking
gait. We do not need trotting oxen, bu
a fast walk is of great importance. Doub
ling their speed would double their value
as working cattle.
Why may not our agricultural societies
offer prizes for the fastest-walking oxei
as well as for the fastest horses? 1t woulC
take some years to rear race Of goot
walkers, but it is worth an effort anC
worthy of encouragement from our agri
cultural societies. One of the stronges
objections to the use of oxen on the farm
is that they are so slow, This objection
can be and ought to be removed.-N Y

Keeping Smoked Meats in Summer.

THERE are various plans and devices
for keeping smoked meats for summer
use from the attacks of flies and beetles
which infest hams, smoked beef, etc, ii
left where they may have access to them.
Among the more common is wrapping
each piece separately in strong brown
paper and then packing in barrels filled
in, about the packages, with ashes or
other absorbent material.
Another plan is to place the pieces in
sacks well surrounded with cut hay, or
in tight barrels, with cut hay or straw
closely pressed around the pieces. BY
this latter plan, however, the meat is apt
to mold To prevent this, it should not
be entirely excluded from the air, and
where air and light can enter Insects are
apt to follow. A better plan when the
trouble and expense is not grudged is to
wrap each piece separately in paper and
inclose i'm sacks cut TO fit. Sew them up
and dip in thick lime-wash, and hang in
an airy but cool place. Some, indeed,
claim that meat may be kept perfectly
and indefinitely by simply rubbing the
surface with pepper before smoking but
it is almost no protection at all.
The best, and in the end cheapest, way
to preserve meat is to have a smoke-house
built in such manner that, while II is
tight and dark, it shall, at the same time,
be well ventilated. All that is necessary
to secure this is chimney on top pro-
tected by blinds so that the rays of light
cannot enter, while at the bottom is
tube connecting with the outer air. In
such smoke-house you may keep meat
indefinitely by occasionally causing
smoke during summer. If the meat has
been properly cured, it will keep sweet.
If the insects cannot get access to the
place where it Is kept, they cannot lay
their eggs therein and consequently there
cannot be either shippers or beetles or
their Larvae.
The smoke.house may be used for a
variety of purposes when not filled with
meat. The first four feet should always
be built of brick, both as a protection
against fire and as affording most CON
venient receptacle for ashes, in all dis
tricts where wood is burned for fuel. Ii
our readers have no permanent smoke
house yet built in which TO keep their
meat, we advise them to build one with
out delay. Where farmers depend 80
much, as they necessarily must in the
country in summer, on preserved meats,
they should have proper place to keep
it safe from insect enemies. - Western

A GEORGIA paper describes Southern
beauty as follows: "Among the many Wis.
itors who came to our city on Saturday
last to sell their country produce was a
young lady from an adjoining county
who had chickens, eggs and butter for
sale. Her beauty was of transcendent
excellence. Bright, flashing, intellectual
eyes and face round and rosy, while her
calico dress was plain and neatly made
and fitted beautifully. Her rich, black
hair flowed in luxurious richness. High
ly educated, she conversed fuently, and
deported herself with becoming modesty.
She wore no purchased complexion; had
no top knot on her head, but stood in the
majestic beauty of created intelligence
that would not yield to the despotic die
tates of frivolous fashion. 1t has been a
long time since we gazed upon such a
sight. The young men crowded around
her wagon with curiosity in their eyes and
admiration in their hearts. The old men
wept for joy that there was one who had
not bowed to Baal. She sold her country
produce, went home, MIXED the cows,
cooked supper for ten farm labOrers, and
went to church that night with her sweet
heart"
