The relative profit is much greater from
a small flock than large one. The grain
farmer no matter how few his acres, can
make money by keeping few sheep. There
is always room for them somewhere, and
they consume and turn into money, food
that otherwise would waste. But he must
be careful not to livestock.
To Illustrate: suppose farmer cultivate
only eighty acres, raising grain chiefly. He
keeps few COWS and the necessary teams
One-ffth of his farm is in pasture one-fifth
meadow, one planted, one spring grain,
and one wheat. He thinks lie has as much
stock as he can proftably keep, but if he
puts on one sheep to every five acres, he
will find their products clear gain. In the
spring, early, they can run on the sod
which is to be planted, and one sheep to
each acre will not hurt the land, yet they
will live we'll. After that they can go into
the pasture, and will CLEAN after the COWS
to advantage. A run on the stubbles after
harvest will not be felt where each sheep
has two acres, and in the fall there is plenty
of feed. Through the winter they can be
well kept ON what the other stock would
not consume, with the addition ola little
grain Probably the most profitable are
some of the coarser wooded, mutton breeds.
Their lambs sell to the butchers for high
prices and when fat the sheep fetch as
much as q yearing steer. Sixteen mutton
sheep, well managed, would produce a
yearly income Of one hundred dollars,
where, ifnone were kept, nothing would
be realized. The greatest drawback is Ii
ability to loss by dogs; and it is u disgrace
to any State to protect its ours so we'll that
they cxpel to certain extent, the only
animal which can cheaper the meat and
clothing Of the people.-American Rural

TIE PuREST PEARL.

Beside the church door, a-weary and alone
a blind woman sat on the cold door stone;
The winds were bitter the snow fell fast,
And hooking voice in the fitful blast
Seemed ever to echo her mourning cry,
AS she begged her aims of the passers.by:
"IIave pity on me, have pity, pray;
My back is bent and my hair is gray"
The bells were ringing the hour of prayer,
But covered with furs and mantles warm,
They hu i'aa,ied past through the wintry storm.
Some were hoping their souls to save,
And some were thinking of death and the grave
And alas they had no time to heed
The poor soul asking for charity's need.
And some were blooming with bcauty's grace,
But closely muflled in wells of lace;
They saw not the sorrow and heard not the
moan
OF her who sat on the cold door stone.
All last came noble dame,
by the city counted the wealthicst name,
And the pearls that DER her neck were strung
She proudly to the beggar flung.
Then followed n maiden young and fair,
Adorned with clusters of golden hair;
But her dress was scanty and worn,
Not even the beggar seemed more forlom;
With fearful look, and ptying sigh,
She whispered soft, "No Jewels have l.
But give you my prayers, good friend" said
she,
"And surely know God listens to me-"
On the poor, white hand, so shrunken and
The blind woman felt tear drop fall,
Then kissed it and said to the weeping girl,
ut Is you that has given the purest pearl"

To MAKE CUTTINGS GRow.-I used to
have great deal of trouble to make cur
rant and gooseberry cuttings or slips grow,
until 1 tried the following plan: boiled
some potatoes until they were nearly done
and then stuck one on each slip and put it
in the ground. Every slip sprouted and
ceptions. The idea of putting the boiled
potatoes to the end of cuttings is to furnish
and keep moisture enough COR them to grow
until the roots become large enough to
gather this moisture and substance from
the soil. never tried it on grape cut
tings, but do not see any reason why it
would not do as well with grapes as with
anything else.- Wis. Farmer.

The CHECK REIN.-Why is it that so
many of our farmers and nearly all of our
city carriers insist in using tight rein on
working horses When horse, left to his
natural inclination, has heavy load to
pull, he can best exert his strength if his
backbone is in one continuous line, and
this he will have if not prevented by a
tight check-rein. Some claim that it pre-
vents horse from falling, and when man
can raise himself over fence by lift of
his suspenders we will believe it. When
horse falls, tight rein will most effectu-
ally prevent him from getting on to his
feet again. Try it without the rein and
see if we are not correct in our practice and
theory both.

In a Bad Fix.

1t has never been definitely settled, to
the satisfaction of the public, who the Man
in the Iron Mask was, but generations to
come will know all about Dick Palmer,
who got inside OF something worse than a
mask. His mother sent him after brass ket
tie, which one of the neighbors had borrow
ed, and on the way home the boy turned the
kettle upside down and put it on his head
Another boy gave it blow and it shut
down over Dicks face as close as clam in
his shell, one of the ears digging into his
head behind, and the other pressing on his
clawed at the kettle, but he couldn't bulge
it. A man came along and lifted at it, but
Dicks nose began to come out by the
roots, and the man had to stop. A crowd
ran out of the corner grocery, Dicks mo-
ther was sent for, and the boy danced up
and down and cried ooh golly I" without
ceasing. One boy said they would have
to take II cold chisel and drill Dick out of
the kettle, and another said they'd have to
melt the kettle off, while everybody raped
on it to see how solidly it was on. Then
they tried to lift it off, bat Dick roared
"murder !" until they stopped. Some said,
grease his head, some said grease the ket-
tie, while the boys mother sat down on the
curbstone and sobbed out, ooh Richard,
why did you do this" The crowd took
it coolly; itwasn't their funeral, and boy
with brass kettle on his head isn't to be
seen every day. Tears fell from the kettle,
and hollow voice kept repeating, "I'll
never do it again" Finally they had Rich
ard on the walk, and while one man sat on
his legs and another on the stomach, a third
compressed the kettle between his hands,
and the boy crawled out, his nose all
scratched and twisted out of shape, a hole
in his head and u bump on his forehead.
His mother wildly embraced him, all
the boys cried, Hip la !" and little
Richard was led home to loaf around
on the sofa and have toast and fried eggs
for week.-Detroit Free Press

The Horse as a Walker.

In breeding horses we breed for trotters,
racers, &C., but never for walkers (which
| is very great mistake, particularly if the
horse is intended for the farm. What the
plowman wants is a good walker, also
| needed for the harrow, and in fact for al
| most any kind of work on the farm, the
road included.
| Let us look little at this. A good
walker will walk with ease four miles an
hour; the best of walkers will readily make
| five miles per hour. This is done with az,
much ease as the ordinary walker will m
three miles. This, in ten hours work,
make q difference of from ten to f,-s,zs,
miles, which is clear gain, as the one
will use no more exertion to do this
the other in doing less. 1t is in the y
chanical structure in the gait, and this is
as susceptible of transmission as the trot-
| ting or racing element M

with ease, while the other horse labors or
must be on small trot to keep up. This
every one of US must have seen, and it irri-
tates one to see it. A good walker will

ing this thing that cannot be mistaken.
The thing may be stated even stronger than
this: The natural fast walker will do his
four to five miles per hour easier than to be
forced to do but three or less. 1t will wor-
ry him to go slow if he has any metle in
him. and good walker is not generally a
lazy horse But there is not the cclat at
tending the walker that there is about the
trOtter or racer, or even PAGER. We there
fore are indifferent. 1t is great error; a
great reform is needed. What the farmer
wants is to breed for walkers. The coun-
try wants this, with the few exceptions of
the regular trotters and racers kept ex-
pressly for that purpose for, let it be I'M
derstood, that for the ordinary roadster
the walking property will not hurt the
trotting element-rather benefit TT q.

How NAILS WERE COUNTED. - Nails
used to be counted by the thousand /; and
when they were of such size that 1000 of
them would weigh pounds, they were
called four-pound nails, and similarly six
pound and ten-pound nails and in rapid
speaking the "pound" became corrupted to
penny" which is more easily uttered by
the organs, as any one will see who will
try it for himself Thus the current desig-
nation Of sizes depended originally upon
weights
