Simplicity in Dress.

The ladies of Union Grange, Hermon,
Maine, are each to have a calico dress,
all made up alike, from the same piece
of print. which is to be worn to their
meetings and grange gatherings.
The uniformity of dress will doubtless
tend to habit Of unity in other things,
thus aiding the accomplishment of that
which is the purpose of every true gran
ger. And again it is an example recon-
mending and favoring economy that
may be productive of much good. The
observance of this plan removes at once
the possibility of any untoward influence
that might result from an untrue display
and rivalry in dress; it affords relief to
those who feel unable to maintain an ex-
pensive style of dress, and yet cannot
smother the desire of enjoying all the
advantages that are supposed to be the
result of an obsequious devotion to fash
ion.
This unity and simplicity of attire can,
of course, foster no sense of the inequali-
ty which the opposite course might sug-
gest, but will dispel the apprehensions of
anyone that she might be at a disadvan-
tage by not being able to make as good
show, in dress, as those whom she is asso-
ciated with.-Drigo Rural.

Spare the Birds.

The most effectual way to spare useful
birds is to destroy their worst enemies,
viz: the crow and the skunk. Thirty
years ago meadow larks in droves from q
dozen to twenty were often seen. But
now two or three pair are all I see during
the season. The nest moved over yes.
terday is found empty this morning.
Nothing is left except the two wings OF
the mother bird, while skunk tracks are
visible on every square rod of newly
mown grass. Thirty years ago the
place to find robins nests was the corners
of rail fences. But now Eobins build
the shade trees nearest the house, under
piazzas. in old barns, and under sheds.
The crow has driven them from the
fields, and now they seek the abodes of
man. The crow is an omniverOus feeder.
During the winter he will dive on car
rion, in the fall on grasshoppers, but in
June nothing delights his palate more
than young birds and birds eggs.
1t may be that the crow DESTROYS a
few grubs. 1t is quite certain he de-
stroys great many birds in the egg or
emhfoy.

Culture Of Flowers.

Many a woman's happiness would be
enhanced, yes, her life prolonged, if she
could only have time to devote to the
culture of few flowers indoors and out
in the garden, and in majority of cases
she will have the time if she will only
decide to neglect that which is of infn.
itely less Importance. We know that
the cares of farmers wife are manifold
and continuous. still We know, too, that
life is given us to make most of, and it is
the duty of every wife and mother to
live as long and happy as she can, not
for her own sake alone, but for the infu-
ence it will have over the lives of the
children whose remembrance of early
home should be the happiesL that can be
recollected.
We read with pleasure the annexed
beautiful expression from an Eastern
lady in the New England Homestead:
A woman, in every sense the best
housekeeper 1 ever knew, said to me,
pointing to a garden gay with flowers:
''That is one of the best helps in house.

flowers with only little assistance from

when am weary with household cares.
They are like the cakes that shelter our
dwellings. run out under them when
the sunlight glimmers through the leaves,

shadows on the grass, or the fresh breeze
stirs through the brances, and they are
even an inspiration to right living, and

BILE; noting if the animal supports itself
equally well on all its legs, and if one
seems to yield to specially examine it
attention is then directed to the large
ness of the pupil OF the eye, which ought
to be more dilated when in the stable
than when exposed to full light. After
the animal is lead out of the stable, the
eye ought to be again examined to OBJ

the sight is feeble. Others, to test the
power of vision, feign to strike the fore
head with the hand. If the hollow over
the eyes be profound, and the temple
gray, old age is to be concluded.
Wounds about the temple suggest attacks
of staggers and when the end Of the

that the horse has been
twiched with a cord to insure his quiet
ness while being shod or having had to
submit to some painful operation.

Wesl Growing in .Calilsrais.

The story of W. W. Hollister, in Cali
fornia, reads like An eastern romance.
BE entered the state in 1852 at the head
of IN emigrant train. Near the head of
San Francisco bay, he noticed two thou
sand Mexican sheep feeding on the plain
attended only by two shepherd dogs. No
man was in sight. He pondered over
the scene, and finally determined TO be-
come q sheep raiser. He made his way
back to Ohio and purchased several thou
sand head of sheep. With these Re jour
aeyed slowly back to California. When
the division was made in the San Bernar-
dino country his share was eight hundred
sheep. three hundred of which were
ewes. He was out of money. but as he
grazed the animals on the open plains,
the food cost him nothing. He passed
leisurely up the coast, finally hating at
Monterey, and making for himself q
lodging place, if not home. He pros
pered, as he found a ready market for
his wool as we'll as mutton. In 1862 he
and his brother formed partnership
with Albert and Thomas r. Dibblee,
who had been wool growers in Los An
geles county. The sum of 100000 was
paid for Lampoc rancho, which extends
seven miles along the ocean coast and
twelve mile inland. They stocked it
with ten thousand head of sheep. mostly
grade Merinos, and Thomas B. Dibblee
assumed the management Of it. In 1874
the property had increased in value I'M
til it was worth $1,5OO,OOO. One item
The aggregate increase from 400 ewes in
twelve years was $4,000 sheep. The
focks of this great sheep farm this
spring number some $4,000 head. The
San Julian rancho, the present scene of
we are told will carry $4,000
sheep through the dryest year, and 49,
600 ordinarily. The annual sales of wool
and sheep aggregate about sl25, 5000. As
the expenses are not more than $50, 900
q pretty margin is left for profit. The
soil of the rancho is very deep, and is
strong, rich and productive, even on the
tops of the hills. It was once a cavalry
rancho of the Mexican nation, so chosen
for its water and fertility. Sheep hus-

A correspondent Of the american Rural
Home says the following is durable and
looks nearly as we'll as paint: Take q
tight clean barrel, and slake in it one
bushel of freshly burned lime by cover
ing it with boiling water. After it is
slaked add cold water enough to bring it
to the consistency OF cream or thick
whitewash. Then dissolve in water, one
pound Of sulphate of zinc (also known by
the common name of white vitriol, and
add to the lime and water with one
quart of fine salt. Stir we'll until the
ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
This forms q pure white. If a cream
color is desired, one.half pound of yellow
ochre is added.

there are sold for food 100000 rabbits.
The flesh is sold at an average rate of
twelve cents. cold, per pound, which is
fully a third less than the price of beef

annual supply is estimated to be 81, 1885,

lay It on the place, apply on this hot
