In connection with a table of the
weights of lambs Of his flock, showing
their average growth per week since
birth, Mr.. Harris describes their man
agement as follows, in a New England
paper.
may say that we allow the lambs to
suck the ives. The lambs have all the
milk the ewes give, and in addition to
this, we have a space partitioned OIL in
the shed with Stats wide enough apart to
allow the lambs to pass through and yet
exclude the ewes. Here we have a few
small troughs, and in those troughs we
place a few sliced mangels and a little
bran, malt. roots and corn meal. We let
the lambs have all they will eat, and the
more they eat the better we like it.
They eat comparatively little. do not
think they have consumed an average of
three ounces per day of extra food-cer-
tainly not over four ounces. They have
derived their substance principally from
the mothers. The ewes were not fed
grain. They had hay, ma~ngelwurzel
and malt-roots or bran.
There are 25 lambs in the focks, whose
average g is Fl weeks and average
weight l104 pounds.
There are Y lambs in all, weighing g.
220 pounds, or an average of 49, pounds
each, at an average age Of less than 20
weeks.

corn. This was put in drills, thirty
inches apart, with a large one-hOrse seed

the few that have stuck up their heads

shaded by the dense growth of corn. The
remainder of the field was seeded heavily
with Hungarian grass. Timely showers
have made the season favorable for this
crop and it has grown rapidly, smothering
the disagreeable former occupants of the
soil. | do not consider this so successful
a mode of treatment as the former, be
cause Hungarian grass grows so slowly
on the start and the thistles had an OPP

But the wheels turn on and the shuttles fly.

FARE NOTES.
The work Of Farmers Wives.

Farmers are very much inclined to
complain of the work they have to per-
form, and the hardships they have to en-
lure during the summer season. As a
rule, however, they never consider the
work and hardships of the toilers in the
kitchen during the same period. There
i. no question about it being hard work
to cut hay and grain with the mercury
in the thermometer way up in the nine
ties. 1t is well to remember that manual
labor in the fields, however, has been
reduced to the minimum. There are
now machines not only for cutting grass
but for spreading, raking, pitching and
unloading it. Some of these are con-
structed 80 that the operator sits under a
canopy while he performs his work. The
days OF cutting grain by any hand instru-
ment have passed, and a machine now
cuts the grain and places it in gavels all
ready to be bound into sheaves. The
present generation of farmers are not re-
Iuired to work in the hot sun more tina -,
one.fifth of the time their fathers di|, in
order to secure a crop If hay and grain

calmly is an improvement in preparing
food for the table, and it is also true that
it is a very uncomfortable article of

The old and the New.

The Illinois correspondent of a New
York paper criticises the agricultural
college of state after this fashion
And still the public sentiment cannot
be said to be averse to agricultural i'm
provement, for the county of Champaign
has invested more than a quarter OF a
million dollars in an agricultural college,
and pays yearly, and has it to pay for the
next twenty years, some $4,000 annual
taxes for the support of the same. And
this institution, in the eleventh year of
its existence, has a college Of agriculture,
a college of engineering, a college of
ural science and a college of literature ;
twenty-five professors, fourteen depar-
ments, fifteen buildings, and owns or
controls some four or five hundred acres
of the best corn and wheat land in the
country. Where lies the fault that this
institution, with its endowment, its
equipment and its annual cost to tax
payers, has not made its presence felt in
the agriculture of the state? And why,
on such important matters as wheat
growing, has it not done something TO
demonstrate the capacity of the soil 2
Where, but in the feeling prevailing
among those in place and power, that
farming is an ignoble pursuit, and that
even an agricultural college, with fourteen
departments and twenty five professors,
can be better employed in preparing for
the professions than in teaching the
principles and practice of agriculture.

The Washington Fire.

Thirty thousand models were destroyed
by the fire in the patent office. The
value of the property lost in the abstract
office will aggregate about $4,000 900,
but as a large class of models cannot and
will not be replaced, the actual loss will
probably not reach over $S0O,OOO or
5000, 900. The patent office has to its
credit with the treasury, owe and above
its earnings, a sum sufficient to meet this
expenditure, but it cannot be used with
out appropriation by congress.

THE fuel of most farm.houses is quite
as bad as the w%ater-supply. IT wood is
used, it is ordinarily prepared only as
there is n pressing demand for it. 1t is
very rare to find it prepared in quantities
and placed under cover for use. If coal
is employed, it is ordinarily dumped
down in the yard in the same form it
comes from the mines. In almost every
city house there is a refrigerator and a
supply of ice during the summer, but it
is extremely rare to find these on farms.
While the majority of farmers have con-
trived to reduce their own work, they
have done very little in the direction OF
reducing the work imposed on their
wives. At the time of harvesting, thresh-
ing and sheep shearing it is no uncommon
thing for a farmer to employ from two to
six men to help i'm through with a hard
job. He never seems to think, however,
that it is necessary for him on these
occasions Ito call in help in the house.
There are twice as many TO cook and do
housework for, but only the same number
OF persons to do 1t. The truth is that
when more rlen are wanted on the farm
more women are needed in the house.
