The Best Sheep for Farmers.

Farmers should breed sheep that
produce heavy fleece, and sell readi-
ly to the butcher. There are thou
sands of sheep kept in every State in
the Union that do not shear over four
or five pounds, and coarse at that,
while welI-bred Merinos viii range
from ten to twenty pounds, and Cots
wolds often exceed these figures.
There is but one way to make money
in breeding sheep in these times, and
that is to sell all of your scrubs" to
the butcher at any price he will give,
and buy Mainos, Cotswolds,o or South
downs, the latter being the finest NUT
ton in the world. A Kentucky stock
breeder says: "What is true in re-
gard to the improved breeds of sheep
is also true of fine breeds of cattle,
horses, hogs and poultry" In the
face of these indisputable facts the
mass OF the people should not handle
scrub stock, and entertain an ignorant
opposition to fine breeds. There is
one supreme reason for this. The
mass of people DO not read papers de-
voted to live stock interests, and are
wholly ignorant of the vast progress
that is being made by the more intel
ligent ranks of farmers. There are
sections in Kentucky where the i'm
| proved breeds of stock are almost I'M
known.

Crane Growers Maxlms,


The following rules are given by
the Rural American
1. Prepare the ground in the fall
plant in the spring.
2. Give the vino plenty of manure
cid and well decomposed; for fresh
manure excites growth, bnt does not
mature it.
8. Luxuriant growth does not al.
ways insure fruit.
4. Dig deep, but plant shallow.
5. Young vines produce beautiful
fruit, but old vines produce the
richest.
6. Prune in autumn to insure
growth, but in the spring to promote
fruitfulness.
Z. Plant your vines before you put
up trellises.
s. Vines, like old soldiers, should
have good arms.
8. Prune spurs to one developed
bud; for the nearer the old wood, the
higher favored the fruit.
10. Those who prune long must
soon climb.
Il. Vines love the sun, the fruit the
shade.
II. Every leaf has bud at the base,
and either bunch of fruit or a ten
drill opposite to it.
10. a tendril is an abortiye fruit
bunch-a bunch of fruit productive
tendril.
IA. A bunch of grapes without q
healthy leaf opposite is like a ship at
sea without a rudder-it can't come
to port.
Is. Laterals are like politicians; if
not checked, they are the worst of
thieves.
Is. Good grapes are like gold-no
one has enough.
IL. Grape eaters are long livers.
IS. Hybrids are not always high
bred.

Where to Plant the Fruit Trees.

The result of our first experience in
planting trees may be of some assist.
ance to those Who are just beginning
to learn the business of farming. The
most prominent idea was to utilize all
our ground. 1t seemed very simple
matter to arrive at the conclusion
that farmers han been making mis-
take in not using to best advantage
al, the odd corners Of their farms, and
it further seemed very clear that moth
ing could give greater satisfaction in
after years than trees, and in planting
trees why not plant trees that would
yield fruit as well as shade The de-
cision was easily arrived at, and
peaches, cherries and pears were soon
set out in the fence corners, along the
public road, around the barnyard and
garden, and wherever convenient
spot could be found. Rows of cur
rants, blackberries, gooseberries and
raspberries were planted in the or
chard between tbs rows of apple and
peach trees. We very distinctly re-
member the feelings of satisfaction
with which we viewed this grand
planting of trees. We had read up in
tree-planting-large holes, pulyerized
soil at the bottom, care of roots, etc.,
etc. To make long story short, an
experience of two or three years made
our first theory of utilizing all the
waste places look very absurd. The
trees planted where they could not be
cultivated were making stunted
growth or had died. The close plant
ing of the orchard to small fruits was

Perfect Horse,

Ono of the most perfect as well a:
one of the most beautiful descrip tions
of the horse we have ever seen is the
following, by w. II. II. Murray,in the
atlantic Monthly:
"In weight she may have turned,
when well conditioned, nine hundred
and fifty pounds. In color she was q
dark chestnut, with velvety depth
and soft look about the hair indescrib-
ably rich and elegant. Many a time
have | heard ladies dispute the shade
and hue of her plush-like coat as they
ran their white, jeweled fingers
through her silken hair. Her BODY
was round in the barrel, and perfectly
symmetrical. She was wide in the
launches, without projection of the
hip bones, upon which the shorter
ribs seemed to lap. High in the with
ers as she was, the line of her back
and neck perfectly curved, while deep,
oblique shoulders, and long, thick
forearm, rigid with swelling sinews,
suggested the perfection of stride and
power. Her knees across the pan
were wide, the cannon bones below
them short and thin; the pasterns
long and sloping; her hoof round,
dark, shiny and well set on. Her
name was a shade darker than her
coat, fine and thin as thoroughbred
always is, whose blood is without
faint or cross. Her ears were thin,
sharply pointed, dellcately curved,
nearly black around the borders, and
as tremulous as the leaves Of an aspen.
Her neck rose from the withers to the
head in perfect curvature, hard, devoid
Of fat, and well cut up under the
chops. Her nostrils were full, and
thin almost as parchment. The eyes
from which tears might fall, or fire
might flash out, were well brought |
out, soft as gazellc's, almost human |
in their intelligence; while over the
small, bony head over neck and shoul-
aers, yea, over the whole body, and
clean down to the hoofs, the veins
stood out as if the skin were but It's
sue paper. against which the warm
blood pressed, and which it might at
my moment burst asunder. ga per-

When new fruit trees were to be
planted, the orchard was regularly
staked off; the small fruits placed in
plats where they could be cultivated
by horsepower; pears, plums, cher
ries, peaches and apples were planted
in regular orchard rows, each variety
by itself. The determination to have
all the known varieties of fruits and
grapes, gave way to the more rational
course of planting fewer number OF
well tested kinds.
The young farmer will find, as he
gets on in his farming operations, that
he has neither time nor money to
waste on fancy theories, but system
and order are absolutely necessary to
carry forward farm work with econo-
my. The planting of few trees here
and there about his farm will lead to
neglect and loss.-KaasGs Farmer.
