AGRICULTURE.

Cause oE SHEEP LOSING THEIR DOL.
There is no method or medicine-no
feed or treatment-that will arrest the
wool from falling from the sheep when
once it has begun, for the reason that
the injury is done to the fibre of the
wool long before IL begins to fall out.
The wool, by some sickness or disease,
or maltreatment in feeding has been ar
rested in its continuous growth, and Is
broken or rOtted, and when the new
growth of wool starts, it pushes the old
wool out till it drops. We have often
heard wool growers say, 81 wonder
what makes that sheep cast its fleece or
drop its wool, IL has beer treated as
well as the rest" But the fact is it had
q bad spell of some kind some time in
the fall, and has been overlooked till
the fleece tells the story. All the grain
it will eat, and the best hay, won't
make the wool unite again when it Is
once broken. OF course, the sheep that
are getting into the best condition with
the grain feed are only hurrying up to
grow a new fleece, and are shedding
their old rotten fleece faster than those
that are not so well fed. That Is the
whole secret. The only way to save
the wool is TO shear it now and blanket
the sheep, or keep them under cover
till mild weather, with good feed. Ii
they have any skin disease, or are
troubled with ticks, you will then see
it, and be prepared TO apply the proper
remedies.

THE grain of rye, on an average,
yields about twenty-fOur per cent. Of
bran and seventy-six of flour. Rye
flour is much darker than wheaton flour,
and when baked furnishes wholesome
and nutritious bread, which keeps lon
ger moist than bread made of wheaton
-four. The fine flour is not so nutri-
tious as the whole grain, and it is for
this reason that in Northern Germany
the laboring classes never sift the flour,
but use rye in the making of bread,
husk and all. The grain is merely
coarsely ground, and baked into dark
brown colored hard bread. Dry rye
-four contains l0.5 per cent. of gluten,
Ga of starch, 3.5 of fatty matters, 3 of
sugar, II Of gum, 6 Of salts, and per
cent. loss.

HUMOROUS.

GOING FOR THE DoCTOR.-A jolly old
German Farmer rode to town after
physician for his wife, who was very
sick. He dismounted from his horse in
front of saloon just as the boys inside
had begun to make merry over the first
keg of buck. He approached and looked
cautiously around the screen. The
foaming glasses were held high above
the heads of the revelers, as one of the
number pronounced toast appropriate
to the occasion. The silent watch licked
his lips and wished his errand to town
had been one not requiring so much
dispatch. He was turning reluctantly
awav, when the crowd saw him.
"Hollo?" they shouted, 'there's
Fritz. Bring him in"
He was laid hold upon and hauled up
to the bar, all the while protesting.
"POys, vos in a quick hurry. Old
woman sick like the tuyval. i vos come
nit ter doctor sooner as lightin"
"Well, you can take some buck while
you're here, and kill two birds with
one stOne," was the reply.
"Yaas, l kill Won chicken init a
couple o. stones, und der ole woman
die mitout der toctor. / don't forgot
myself NV it, eh?"
"Oh, she wont die. Buck beer don't
come but once year, and you've got
the old woman all the time. Fill 'em
up again"
"Yaas, 1 got her all der time, but ex-
posen she GOT dade. don't got her any
more sometimes. It's peter TO get nit
der doctor seldom right away"
But he didn't go. AS one glass after
another was forced upon him by the
reckless crew, the object of his errand
was floated farther and farther from
his vision, until it was carried out of
his mind altogether, and his voice, un-
tinged with anxiety, Joined in the
others.
Thus he was found by his son late
that night. The boy grasped him by
the sleeve, and said:
"Fader, COON home"
Fritz turned, and at sight of the boy
great fear arose in his mind, swept
away the fumes of the beer, and
brought him to a sense of the situation.
In an awestruck tone he asked:
"Yawcup, how you vas come here?
Vas Something's der matter?"
"Yaw." replied the boy.
sCii, epOhC up doOuu IT, v oo oci
ola vooman-is your muddea-is She
dade? | can stann der best. Don't keep
your fader in expenses, pOy. Shpit it
oud. Vas We couple of Orphanases,
Yawcub?"
"Nein," answered the boy, "you vos
anuder. A leedle baby COON nit der
house."
"Vos dot so! / expose it vos not so
soon already. Vell-vell, in der middle
of life, We don't know watts goin' to
turn up next. Man exposes und Gott
supposes. Fill up der glasses"
The boy ventured to ask the old man
why he had not sent doctor.
"Not! Did she want a toctOr? Peter
she tole me so. l got him pooty quick.
Navarro mind. l save more as ten tollar
bill On dot baby. Dot vas goot child.
Fill up der glasses. Whooraw for the
leedle book baby. We Won't 90 home
till yeshterday."
Fritz came at last, and was in town
again after couple OF days after some
medicine. The boys couldn't get him
back again, though. He said to them:
You bate 1 ten to my peesness now.
go back und watch der ole woman dot
she don't got dwins, by sheeminy!
She's got her spunk up like every
dinks."

Moths Hear, but do not SmeH.-A cor
respondent of Nature describes some in
teresting experiments upon moths TO
test their senses of smell and hearing.
Certain moths when captured feign
death. While they are thus motionless
if sharp sound be made such as is pro-
duced by striking a piece of glass, they
will be suddenly reused and will at
tempt to fly. On the other hand, a
strong solution of ammonia. uncorked
close 10 moths, has no effect in driving
them away; they do not seem to smell
it, and only move away from the fumes
slowly when oppressed by them. The
latter experiment must occasion sur
prise, because il was believed that moths
possessed an unusually effective sense
Of smell, since the males of certain
species will come from great distances
to visit female kept in captivity, and
it has been hitherto supposed that they
were guided in their quest by the olfac-
tory sense.
