RURAL NOTES.
sheep in November.

The true way TO be successful in
sheep breeding and feeding is to keep
none but the best breeding ami
mails, and to supply them with nutri-
tious food at all times. Stuffing at one
time and starving at another does not
pay. A field Of rye, sown in August,
or early in September, will furnish an
excellent pasture for sheep in the late
fall and early winter months, aud also
early in spring if necessary. Sheep are
fond Of an outdoor life, and it is not
advisable to confine them to sheds, un-
less in very severe weather. At other
times they should have the choice of
going in or staying out at pleasure, bat
the racks or feeding boxes should be
kept under cover. Sheep in sheds
should have plenty of room, and they
should be graded so that the small and
weak shall not be driven from their
food by the large and strong, Root
crops should be grown for feeding cat.
tie and sheep in winter.

AOney.Iaking AristOcrats,

A letter from Perug;a, Italy, says:
"There is a Count of Perugia, married
to Bonaparte Princess, who is . type
of the rich and unpopular aristocracy.
He sows and reaps and sells his grain;
works his land to the best advantage;
is bourgeois in money-making, but
not bourgeois in iberality. He never
builds, never gives to the poor, never
contributes to public Improvements; so
when his carriage drives by the labor.

the same self-interested life, was muir.

town where he had been making ad-

class of people do notscor trade when
it brings money, although they are

of Rome, whose wife is aunt to the
King of Spain, sells his oil and wine as
any other trader, not with his own
hands, to be sure, but he has his shops
in Rome, and his shop-keepers; he
rents apartments also, and is quite q
money-making man, very close and

Butter in France.

If our dairymen need q spur, an eye
opener, lesson which speaks volumes
in three words, here is one at the head
of this article. Butter is actually
brought from France and sold by New
York dealers. And this is thus be-
cause there is an actual scarcity in the
market of good butter put up in an at
tractive shape for small consumers.
When we know that one dairyman
gets 81 Is apohnd for his products, an
other 81, and another rs cents the year
round, at his dairy door, it is easily
seen that it will pay to bring butter
across the ocean from France, if it is
only good and shapely enough to suit
the fastidious purchasers who will have
something nice, whatever it may cost.
All this butter is made from choice
COWS, choicely fed on clean, sweet
food; the milking is done in the clean
est manner. The milk is handled as
carefully as thong h it were nectar, the
cream is churned with clock and Their
mometer, the butter is worked with
skill, and is make up in shapely cakes,
which do not require to be cut when
brought to the table. Compare, then,
this cake-hard, golden. yellow, sweet,
fragrant and tempting to all senses
with an unsightly chunk, which il cut
out of greasy keg, and smells of old
age and rancidity, and is made from
ill-kept cream from COWS filthy lodged
and carelessly MIXED, and is churned
anyhow, and the difference is amply
accounted for.-N. Y. Tribune.

RHEUMATISM is more common and
distressing, especially in this country
than almost any other disease; and, at.
the same time, it may be asserted that
it is as little understood and as unsuc-
cesssully treated. Physicians, in many
cases, are unable to cure it, even in
their own person; yet such are the un-
paralleled virtues OF the celebrated
Merchants Gsrgling Oil, that the most
obstinate cases at once yield to it,

Manure for the Orchard and Garden.

Manure for the Orchard and Garden.
The productiveness of fruit-bear-
ing plants of all kinds cannot be sus.
tanned without the application of ma
nure, for q constant waste of the most
important Ingredients of the soil is
taking place to form wood, foliage and
fruit. Manures containing desirable
proportion of potash, soda, phosphoric
and sulphuric acids and lines, are suit
able for nearly all kinds of fruit trees,
as these ingredients predominant in all
of them, although in different proper
tons. Bones, ashes, lime, SCOT, char
coal, plaster, salt, etc., contain a suit
able proportion of these ingredients
and they should be applied to the soil
in such q shape that they can be taken
up from time to time by the roots.
There is much difference of opinion
about keeping an orchard in grass or
tillage, but al agree that manure is
necessary to insure productiveness in
the trees. Manure for the vegetable
garden should be collected long time
before it is applied to the soil, and
properly prepared by frequent turn
ings 30 as to ensure pulverization and
thorough admixture of the different
ingredients. When muck, leaf-mold,
rotton sods and we'll decomposed barn
yard manure are reduced to compost
and saturated with liquid manure,
when being applied to the soil, the
heaviest crops of vegetables will be the
result.-Detr0I Post.

Care in Feeding and Stabling.

1t pays to feed we'll, and with discre-
ton, the team of all work, to give them
careful grooming and see that their
comfort is secured in the most gener-
Gus manner. 1t pays in the labor they
perform as q result of the attention,
and in their health and longevity.
The writer would not advocate the in.
diligence and pampering of horses, so
as to unfit them for the best of service,
but the care which gives them strength
and endurance for the regular and in
time of emergency the extra work that
may be required of them. There may
exist reserved power in horse as truly
as in q man. The poor, half-kept
team, in case of great strain when
endurance and continuous strength to
the full amount of their ability is
brought into service quickly give out.
In such places it is not alone good
breeding that tells, but good care.
Stock of all sort should have warm
shelter, not only from the coolest
weather in winter, but from the search
ing fall winds. The same weather that
is ddisagr egxbbfe for q IMAM is ibxd for ami
mails. The warm side of q straw-stack
in the open field is in no wise sufficient.
The best and surest way to save fodder
is to provide y warm place for the
stock; .-..-.-- ~, -
There is q good deal in the manner
of feeding, also. To those who man
age during the first feeding this fall to
cloy the animals, We predict most
unsatisfactory condition of stock.
There is particular danger of this in
the management of young stock, colts,
calves and lambs that have been so fed
that they begin to turn up their noses
at the mess given them, are in most
unfortunate condition to enter the win
ter. The one thing needful with such
creatures is q good appetite. Then if
this is judiciously appeased at regular
intervals, there is little danger of runts
or stunts" It is not a good plan to
feed old and young stock together.

ity among animals toward each other,

is absolutely necessary among sheep to
insure their good health and proper de-
velopment; Last winter this paper de-
scribed system of stabling cattle BY
which proper regard for neatness was
preserved, and the manure remained
beneath the cattle. Since then we have
noticed the same method in vogue with
horses, and do not indorse it in the
least. The manure beneath herd Of
cattle tramped down firmly scarcely
ferments at all, and there is neither
heat nor odor. In the horse stable the
case is very different. The manure

under the best of management, which
produces vile odons, and is injurious L

health of the feet and legs. Horse
stables should be kept clean by the re
