HOW 70 EsTINAfE THE PROFITS OF
"A FARM.

The farmer lives in his own house.
The use Of the house, which he does
not pay for, is a. much part, of his
income ~ the money which a salar-
ied,manpays for rent is of his, and
should be counte / as such in an esti-
mate of the profit of the farm. All
things produced on the farm and con-
sumed on the farmers table, -includ-
ing the vegetables from the garden,
the eggs and milk used in cooking,
are As much part of his income as
the money paid for such things out of
Els salary is?of the salaried man. II
the former gives his wife and children
pleasant ride to town with his own
s'herse'snd wagon, the value of their
use is as the money the other man
pays out Of his salary for carriage

There is much said about ewes be-
ing too fat to breed we'll. In my ex-
pperience Of twenty years, i have nev-
er seen anything that led me to
think 50, providing the flesh was put
on with good pasture during the sum-
mer, and a few roots with good hay
in winter. The fatter sheep become
under such circumstances the more
valuable I should consider them.
There is no time in the year when it
pays better to feed small allowance
of grain daily than in the fall, after
the feed gets frozen, and it is not
necessary to bring the flock to the
barn. $3.50.
1t is an old saying, that "sheep
we'll Novembered are half wintered."
Keep the ewes fat and the lambs will
be fat and the Aeeces heavy. I do
not say whether it is better to have
the lambs come early or late, but I
do say it is best to have them fat ;
then whether early or late, they are
saleable. All ewes that, with good
care, will not raise lamb and shear
four pounds washed wool, should
be sold. I-have them in my flock
that will shear nine pounds, and raise
pair of twins, and. it costs no more
to keep one than sheep that shears
only three pounds. I think no one
will hear the man who keeps. his flock
in this way, complaining because his
sheep are run out" and do. not pay,
and the like.
Ticks must be kept out of the
flock; they are the worst enemy of
the sheep. If they are not killed they
will destroy the sheep. For killing
them l have never tried anything bet
ter than strong tobacco juice.-Cor..

A Second Father Matthew.

Who is there that does not respect the
memory Of Father Matthew, the great
champion Of temperance. Innumerable
societies bear his honored name; but
there is one man who llas struck more
sure death-blow to intempeancc, and
that Is DR.. J. Walker, an old California
physician, who has discovered innaturo's
" meek and lowly herbs " a medicinal
"tonic" and gentle stimulant that com
plctely takes the place Of the fashionable
alcoholic poisons called '.tonics," 60
popular as q compromise between strong
drink and cold wnter, and does away
with the MANN for drink, and in reality
cultivates mn involuntary disgust for the
same. It oven does more: 1tacts upon
tile entire physical system, purihes the
blood, and produces hale, hardy health.
Tho discoverer Of this great medicinal
stimulant is surely entitled to the thanks
OF a whole nation, and it is not ex-
travagant TO entitlo him "a second
Father Matthew"

those who believe, with Francis Gallon,
that human accomplishments are 10 o

Academy of Music, two sisters took the
two prizes. In Roxbury two brothers
took the prizes Of n spelling match. In
Marlborough, Mass, q mother and her
son took the first and second prizes in

hill, Of spelling contest, brother and
sister were the last two to compete for
the prize. The contest Of these two
quite amused the audience, till It finally
ended over the word caliph, or calf.
The authority required the rendering TO
be caliph, and Harvard won, though a
subsequent search Of authorities showed
both forms Of spelling to be correct.
The victor gracefully transferred tho
prize, a silver cak0.baBket, to his sis.

Arbar Day. IA

In Nebraska the second Wednesday in

SET aside specially for the planting OF
trees. The farmers on the treeless
prairies were taught by sad experience
that the only way 10 protect Themselves
from the fierce sweepof the desolatihg
summer tornadoos and the cutting win,

raise forests rs rapidly as possible.
For this purpose one day in each year Il

Smallpox in Rome.

DR.. Toscani has made an exceedingly
interesting report OF the recent epidemics
Of smallpox in the italian capital, by
which 1t appears that within the space Of
one hundred and thirty months 3,149
persons were attacked, Of whom 1910
died, the first four being. unvaccinated.
In 2,770 cases the disease declared itself
at the patients homes; in three cases, at
the hospitals; in fourteen cases, in tho
prisons; in twenty-seyen cases, in tho
colleges and seminAries; while two hun
bred and forty five patients belonged to
the Agro Romano and ninety to the con.
tiguous districts. The poorer classes
furnished nearly all the victims; the
higher classos only twenty-five; the
middle 'classes, including the garrison,
two hundred and thirty.three: the me.
chanics or working classes, nine hundred
and sixty-four. The persons vaccinated
who were attacked .wero FIVE hundred
and twenty-one, Of whom seventy two
died, or 1881 per cent. Tho persons not
vaccinated who were attacked were 2, $50,
