Mutton for Farners.

Comparatively lew farmers keep che
best mutton sheep Southdowns. Com.
men sheep have been mestly used.
Compared with southdowns, their meat
il tough and dry, ana NOT very palstsble.
There is 10 breed Of sheep that will bear
comparison with the Southdowns fc1
mutton. They afe evenly Aeshed and
afe very solid, weighing much morethan
one who il unacquainted with Them
would imagine. Tie meat is tender and
juicy. Southdovns are like Short-hon
cattle-small-boned and deep-feshed.
They are hardy, and the most easily
raised of any breed.
With q small flock dflthese sheep you
can at any time supply yuutself with
fresh nation. You have but to learn
how to dress the sheep, which can be
easily done by watching the butcher go
through the operation. A ski!lful man
can dress one in half to three quarters of
an hour. If you have no ice-house or
spring-house where. the meat can be
kept, NO doubt there is some neighbor
who wou1d be glad to share with you,
and return the compliment the following
week.
A small flock can be kept with little
Inconvenience, and their wool would be
; small source of income. Chops for
breakfast, roasts warm for dinner and
cold sliced for supper have to be given to
! man but once to make him want more.
Think Of it, farmers, and do not confne
yourself to salt pork, but vary the table
occasionally with Southdown mutton,
the best in the world, easy to be obtained
without aid of butchen cheap, and
within the command of all.-Correspoa-

Early Things fay Best.

A chicken which esnes - tbss market
in July, and il large enough to make any
show when broiled and placed I'D piece
81 teos will sell for City CENTS. Feed
.the chick till it 10 four OF five times that
siss, which will require 1t TO be kept silI
about Christmas; and it viii bring q
quarter Of . dollar. Most farmer. follow
tas later practice and declare that rails
ing poultry for the market does not pay.
Spring lamb retails in July at twenty
five cents pei pound, and the market is
seldom supplied even at that price.
Keep the lambs till November and the
meat will most likely fetal at twelve
cents per pound. Continue to feed the
lambs till they are sheep and their flesh
Is denoniinated mutton, and the latter
cad be disposed of at about six cents per
pound, though there will be little de.
maud for it. Most farmers think there
is do money in mutton.
The first quart of Strawberries, rasp.
berries, or blackberries that appears in
the market, bring about as much money
Is the last bushel of these fruits. The
same is true of the first cherries, peaches
and apricots. Nothing sells more readily
in April than pie.plant, and nothing is
less salable than the same substance two
months later. The first asparagus in the
market is caught up at fifty cents for
one bunch, while the last that comes
finds slow sale at the rate of five cents
per bunch.
The first cucumbers in the market sell
from twenty-five to fifty cents each; late
in the season . bushel brings the same
sum. Nothing produced from the soil
pages better than early vegetables, and
hardly anything pays As poorly as late
vegetables, unless it be late small fruits.
After one variety of fruit that succeeds
another comes into market, the price for
the former Immediately falls. 1t is like
a garment 60 longer in the height of
fashion.
Early poultry, meat, fruit, and vege-
tables, class as luxuries, and there are
always persons enough to purchase lux
uries at any price. In every large city
there are persons who do not hesitate
about the price in the matter of graft
flying their appetites. The demand for
does notseem to decrease during
hard times, neither does the patronage of
restaurants. The high-priced
luxuries that farmers can derive benefit
from, are the things that can be marketed
early.-CAioago Times.

Potatoes as Food for Stock.

Potatoes in many localities distant
from market are this season 30 abundant
and cheap that they can only be used to
advantage for feeding out to stock. 1t
is true that certain agricultural writers
have If late endeavored to show that
this valuable tuber was of little or no
value for such purposes, but it is very
probable that the gentlemen who ad-
vance such theories are not practical
agsieSltnrists. The value of the potato
as food for man and many of our domes-
tic animals is too we'll known to be dis.
carded at this late day in consequence of
anything which may be written by theo-
retical chemists or agriculturists.
Bat while the potato has been a bone
of contention for many years, its prac-
teal and specific value as food for stock
has never been disproved when put to
the test. The celebrated veterinarian,
William Youatt, in speaking Of the value
of the various kinds of roots as food for
stock, says of the potatoes: "Among
the various vegetable productions that
have been appropriated to the stall-feed-
ing of cattle, none have Occasioned great.
er discussion than potatoes. They fur
nish an excellent supply, particularly
when cut and steamed, they appear ade-
quate to the fattsning of neat cattle in
combination with comparatively small
portions of other food" In the eleventh
volume of the British ANNALS of Agri.
culture" we find some statements from
Mr.. Campbell Of Charlton, England,
which bear directly upon this question.
He observes that 100 bushels of potatoes
and 700 pounds of hay are generally
sufficient to fatten any animal that thriyes
tolerably we'll. They should At first be
given in small quantities and gradually
increased to one or two bushels per day ;
dry food being always intermized, and
the proportion of hay being uniformly
regulated by the effect which the pota-
toes produce on the bowels. The hay
should always be cut in order that it
may be more readily mixed with the
potatoes.

Leaf RI otssraphs.

A very pretty amusement especially
for those studying botany is the taking
Of leaf photographs. The simple process
is this:
At any druggists get a dimes worth
Of bichromate of potash. Put this in a
two ounce bottle of salt water. When
tho solution becomes saturated-that is
the water has dissolved as much as it will
pour off some of the clear liquid into .
shallow dish: on this float a piece of
ordinary writing paper, till it is thor
oughly moistened.
Let it become nearly dry in the dark.
It should be of a bright yellow. On this
put the leaf; under it a piece Of black,
soft cloth and several sheets of newspa-
pers. Put these between two pieces of
glass (sll the pieces should be of the same
sise). and with spring clothes-pins fasten
them together.
Expose to bright sun, placing the
leaf SO that the rays will fall upon it as
nearly perpendicular As possible. In .
few minutes it will begin to turn brown
but 1t requires from half an hour to sew.
eral hours to produce q perfect print.
When it has become dark enough, take
it from the frame and put it in clear
water, which must be changed every few
minutes till the yellow part becomes
perfectly white. Sometimes the veinings
of the leaves will be quite distinct. By
following these directions it is scarcely
possible to fail, and little practice will
make perfect.

Pneumonia.

This disease has been unusually prev
aient and fatal during the past winter.
The popular opinion has been that the
malsdy is due to the extreme and pro.
longed cold weather. But eminent phys
icians in New York affirm that the unu.
sual prevalence of pneumonia in that
city is caused, not 50 much by the cold
weather, as by the impurity of the at
mosphere, arising from foul docks
streets, sewers, and house drains. Per
sons debilitated by fever, overwork,
irregularity of diet and fasting, or who
unduly expose themselves by sudden
changes of clothing and unhealthy modes
Of living, are liable to take this disease.
1t so often comes by Catching cold"
that 1t has been thought to be the aeees-
sary condition. It is not 50, for many
cases of Inflammation of the lungs, the
popular name for pneumonia, have oc-
CURED where there has been no special
exposure to the cold. The danger Of the
disease depends mainly upon the air
cells Of the lungs that become inhaned.
If only one-third of the air cells Of one
lung are inflamed, the patient, provided
there is no unusual debility in the sys-
TEN, will probably recover. 1t is more
serious however, when more than this
number of cells is affected. The best
preventive against the disease is to
maintain a general healthy condition of
the body. Keep the blood pure by exer.
else and nourishing diet; avoid expos.
ure to sudden changes; live regularly
and quietly and maintain a good con-
science, and you have done about all you
can do to avoid this disease.

Keeping Meat.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Gas&te says: In the spring, before fly
time, take your meat down and rub it
with cloth until you make it greasy.
This fills up all the cracks. Now take
a large-sized pepper box, and pepper
your meat with black Pepper. This
keeps away all flies and bugs. Then
hang in a cool, dry place. This is much
better than putting it up in ashes. l
have tried tue above recipe for the
last six or seven years, and never lost q
pound of meat.

1t is suggested whether economy and
efficiency of service would not result from
a change in the mode of electing and pay

county should elect its own officer who
should receive fees upon conviction with

of his county, civil and criminal-the in-
cumbent for Ada county to be also ez-cDIc'o
Attorney General for the Territory, with
an addhion OF salary according to the SER
vice required. AS it is now, the Territory
has no legal advice-no officer to bring
suits in its behalf in case of forfeited bonds
or official delinquencies; nor has any fund
heretofore been provided for such service;
by reason of which, persons so inclined,
may plumber the public Treasury and the
tax payers with almost perfect impunity.
The counties are 10 the same condition.
The District Attorneys, while receiving
liberal salaries for holding their Offices,
and large fees for the business actually
