with water, as with lime, will start the

the skin, and makes it SO tender that the
skin will tear in Pulling. Spread thin
layer OF coating OF the lime mixture all
over the flesh side, then fold the flesh
sides together carefully and roll up, and
lay in Il moderately warm place from
six 10 twelve hours; the wool will then
be ready 10 pull. Then place the board
at an angle of say forty-five degrees, un-
roll She pelt, scrape off the lime, and
lay the flesh side upon the board holding
the neck in one hand, and with the other
slide or push the wool off in a whole
fleece, which can be easily and nicely
done in ten minutes. Then roll il up,
same as if shorn wool. Put the Aeeces
separately III dry, airy place for six or
eight days, to let the moisture escape

well as that absorbed from the use of
the lime mixture. Last year we had q
similar lot of wool TO that we now have,
and sent it 10 a WOO. manufacturer.

per pound. Calling such wool worth

TIE Ees: Mid 70. Farming.

Time was when men thought that he
dulIest boy of the family would do for a
farmer. The brightest hoy was put TO
the study OF the law, or medicine-but
the idea was common that after farming,
the biggest fool would do well enough
for doctor or preacher.
We have lived long enough to see the
supreme folly of all this, and public
opinion now holds farming as an intel.
lectual calling. And why not? The
farmer has to deal with life under all it's
conditions; he must bring life to perfect
developement both in the field and in
the herd. Life is the thing with which
he deals first; last middle and end. From
the seed which he plants to the animal
that he raises, life is the subject Of his
thoughts and purposes. The reward Of
his labor must come from life; SO that
the farmer is a god among the seeds of
things. If there is calling on earth
that demands mental vigor and large
stores of information, il is agriculture
There cannot be too much of mind uni
ted with it, Intelligence is demanded
of the farmer in all his business, efforts
and aims. Elk.

DIR. William II. Pancoast remarked
the other day, after performing painful
operation on an interesting little girl
whose feet had been ruined BY wearing
wrongly constructed shoes 'this is the
beginning of . large harvest Of such
cases" And what else can te expected?
Mothers walk the streets with heels on
their boots from two aud half to three
and halt inches high add not more Than
an inch la diametre. aud their daughters
follow the same bad and barbarous prac-
tice. In many cases severe strains OF
ankles are suffered. But these are not the
worst fruits of the high heeled torture.
The toes are forced against the fore part
of the boot and soon begin to assume
unnatural positions. In many cases
they are actually dislocated. la others
the great Toe passes under the foot, the
tendons harden in that position, aud
laneness is contracted for which there
is no cure but the knife. When the in
jury docs not take this form il a. suines
other aspects almost az horrible and
distressing.
There are thousands OF our Young
girls ,ip-tseing it along our streets to-
day, who, In few years. will be Grip

remove the cause. We will have race
OF women almost as helpless, as far as
walking is concerned. as those of China.
We condemn the practice OF combining
the feet OF the Chinese children in wood
Ell shoes. and yet that practice is not
more injurious 10 the feet than forcing
them into a small boot, with an Alpine
heel. This is q matter of grave and Sc
rious import and hence we press it upon
the mothers and fathers OF the land. Ii
they would not feel the surgical hospit-
ais, and have groups of manned daugh-
tiers in their homes, they must COM
mence crusade upon high heels. No
father should have high heeled boots in
his house any more Than he would keep

the operating room, raise their voices

Finding them fragrant and large and sweet,

Deep in the green hillside.

Gardens are strikingly benefited by
thorough cultivation. The man who
rises early in the morning ard hoes his
garden before the dew is of, stores his
ground with increased richness and
causes his plants TO shoot upward Wig
orously. The enriching dew is mingled
with the soil, and its ammonia is retain
and the surface is kept light and in the
best possible condition for absorption
OF moisture, aud all other substances
contained in the atmosphere. A FIRE.
quently stirred soil will suffer less from
drought and less from wet than less
thoroughly cultivated soils. Ia wet
seasons cultivation promotes the escape
OF moisture, even in dry seasons, il la
ciliates the absorption of moisture from
the air.

Covering MANURE.

BY a series of thorough experiment. il
has been demonstrated that To obtain
the greatest benefit 10 crops the first
year manure should not be buried but
about two inches deep; it therefore fol-
lows that when it is spread in the usual
manner and ploughed under, much OF il
is covered too deep and some OF lis vir.
tue is lost; but the second crop will de-
rive some benefit from it, Another way
TO loose large portion of the anu nonia
OF manure is to spread it upon land and
leave it fer days, and in some cases for
weeks, before it is ploughed under If
a farmer were seen TO scatter greeubacks
over his field OH some windy day, il
would appear that his head was quite as

Of the fertility of his manure before he
