yYhnI Hind OF sheep

A meeting Of the Experimental Far
mers Club, West Grove Penn, Thomas
Wood in answer to Il question referred to
him-''W hich is the best breed of sheep
for this locality? '-said with an expert
ence of forty-iive years with the South
downs and a trial of various other breeds,
he held the Southdowns in preference to
all others. As early as 1880 Jno. Ell
man, of England, commenced an i'm
provement of the Southdowns, and for
many years, by close attention and con-
tinued perseverance in the well known
principles of breeding, brought his flock
to high state perfection. He describes
the Southdowns as formerly beiug.o small
size and far from being of good shape,
and with a light fleece. As early as
1874 Arthur Young speaks of Ellman's
flock as being the best in all England.
The Duke of Richmond, Jonas Webb
and others have with varied results car
ried forward the work of improvement,
till Jonas Webb became the champion of
Southdown sheep in England Since
that time they have been sent to Scot
land, Ireland, Germany, Russia, France,
Spain, Portugal West Indies and the
United States The stand equally well
both heat and cold, which adapts them
to all parts of the country. For taking
on fat with small consum ption of food,
easy maturity, quiet disposition, they are
pre- eminent in my opinion TO all others
of this locality.

UNDER THE VIOLETs.
OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

Her hands are cold her face is white;
No more her pulses come aud 60;
Her eyes are shut 10 life aud light;
Fold the white vcsture snow on snow;
And lay her where the yiolets grow.
But not beneath craven stone,
To plead for tears with fallen eyes;
A slender cross Of wood alone
small say that here a maiden lies
In peace beneath the peaceful skies.
And gray old trees Of hugest limb
shall wheel their citcIIug shadows round
To make the scOT@hing sunlight dim'
Thatdrinks tie greenness from ihe ground
And drop their dead leaves on her mound
when DER their boughs the squirrels run
And through their leaves the robins call,
And. ripeniug in its autumn sun,
The acorns and chestnut- fail,
Doubt not that she would heed them all
For berthe morning choirs shall sing
lis mathis from the branches high,
And every minstrel voice OF spring
That trils beneath the April ky
Shall greet her with its earnest ely.
Vixen. turning round their dial track.
Eastward the IeDgtheulng shadows pass,
Her little mourncrs clad, in black,
The crickets sliding through the grass,
Shall pipe for her an evening mass.
At last the rootlets Of the trees
I'alI find the prison where she lies,
And bear the burdened dust they seize
In leaves and blossoms 70 the skies
80 may the soul that warmed 1t rise
Ifanv born OF kindlier blood,
should ask .'What maiden lies below
Say only this: a tender bud,
That tried to blossom IN the snow.
Lies withercd where the violcts blow

Planting SIra w berries.
Vindicator and News

Vindicator and News
1t is a great thing to have it in our
power to vary our interest, es-
peciaIly to place ourselves, so as not to
be dependent on cotton. The strawber
ry comes in as one of these interests, more
particularly when person has the right
kind Of soil to plant out.
To grow good strawberries, requires
an open and heavy soil, abouuding in
vegetable matter. neither too dry nor too
wet; the greatest enemy to the strawber-
ny is dryness. Last fall / lost about one
third OF my setting out in the spring from
this cause, also dry weather curtails the
crop like everything else, cutting it short
one-half. We are altogether dependent
on a Northern market and that; we have
only for a short time we have no South
ern market that we can depend upon.
As soon as Southern Illinois and Tennes-
see berries come into market, our berries
do not pay for transportation, selling for
ID cts. per quart. In the opening of the
market, fine prices are realized say 20
cts, per quart = in a day or two, drop
ping down to 80 and 10 cents, then from
80 cents to twenty-five and fifteen cents,
all this takes place in about two weeks.
Still when person has everything right,
it is good business, yet he must expect
to meet with disappointment-heavy rains
in the spring, plants dying out and the
difficulty in procuring labor for picking
the berries. Besides all these difficulties,
transportation is so high that it aborbs
a large amount OF the benefits. This no
doubt will be remedied when more per
sons work into the business, aud we can
have regular tariff rates, and not be I'M
der the control Of the express companies
whose charges are eXorbitant
A person going into the business should
not expect to cost him less than 800
per acre Independent of the cost Of land.
The first year he must expect very
small yield, the next year very good,
crop, and the third year they will be in
their prime. IT he muches and manures
to any extent, the expense will amount
up III proportion.

simply by patronizing his co operative
store; while here the greatest possible
benefit from cooperation is oftentimes 10
be had only by the customers Of a CO.
operative store uniting and making their
purchases from it together. In other
words, the English CO operator usually
cannot save anything by combining his
individual orders of other co operators
but Patron co operator can nearly al
ways save something by such combina-
ton. The subordinate grange assemblies
the Patrons of one neighborhood, the
Patrons who are similarly situated. 1t
therefore aids Patrons 10 unite in making
purchases from distant supply houses smd
agencies. BY keeping up the grange or
ganiz alton, and appointing regular meet
ings Of it, Patrons can save themselves
much trouble and much money.
These facts taken in connection with
the further fact that regular meetings
excite in members an enthusiasm in the
order, and desire to have it succeed in all
It's undertakings, show that there Is money
as we'll as pleasure and Improvement to
be had from the oranges and that even
those Patrons who care only for the bust
ness advantages which the order affords,
cannot profitably absent themselves from
the grange meetings Grange Bulletin.

Il can only give my own experience,
All the baking and steaming are useless

~ to be well riddled. The naphtha- bath

used for The purpose, and all insect life
will be absolutely destroyed. No egg
ever matches after passing through the
naphtha- bath : all oil. dirt or grease dis
appears, ard not the slightest damage is
done 10 this most costly article. Spong-
ing with naphtha will net answer. It is
the immersion for two hours or more, in |
