Marking sheep is best done with We
netian red, a cheap paint, only a few
cents pound, and one pound will
mark thousand. Take a pinch of the
dry powder and draw the mclosiug
thumb and fingers through the wool at
the spot you wish to mark, loosening
the powder as you do so, and it will
combine with the oil in the wool and
make bright red mark that the rains
will never wash out. and which, with
out injuring the wool, will endure from
one shearing to another, while it can be
readily cleansed out by the manutac-
turer.

Speaking of the crochets of LeDuc in
the matter of his endcavors to propa-
gate tea, coffee, figs, and other tropical
productions in this country, the Chica-
20 Sunday Times says
If the production Of any kind Of fruits
is to be encouraged by government the
common fruits Of the country should be
selected for most obvious reasons
Every market is better supplied with
oranges and lemons than with apples
and plums Dried apples cost more
than dates and dried peaches are more
expensive than figs Zante currants
are quoted at seven cents per pound,
while dried cherries are sold at eight
cen. Valencia raisins are only seven
cents per pound, while dried raspber-
ries are thirty. The duties on foreign
fruits range from two TO three cents pei
pound. If these were removed we
should be able to purchase all kinds OF
foreign dried fruits at prices that would
put them among the cheapest articles
Of food. The above seems to show that
every country does better to stick to the
crops that succeed best in it. Our
strong holds have been cotton, tobacco
and Indian corn; the last two being
crops Indigenous to the country. An
acre in either of these for a single year
will produce enough to purchase all the
olives and figs used in small American
town during a century.

1t is convenient to have two hens
Matching at the same time, since if acct
dents happen the two broods may be
united again, on the Matching day it
frequently occurs that. to prevent the
newly-born chicks being crushed by
eggs that are behind time, it is desira-
BILE to give all that are Matched to one
hen, while the other takes charge Of
the eggs alone. Not only does this
give security to the chicks, who run
some hazard of being crushed if they
are being kept for any prolonged time
under the mother but the Unmatched
eggs also stand far better chance; for,
when a hen finds chickens under her
she sits higher from the eggs, and less
warmth is afforded them at the time
they require most.

Says the Massachusetts Plougbmd7:
eve have several times urged upon the

ance OF keeping "A liberal supply of coal

to wallow in the dusty material, and
daily bath so taken is grand specific
against lice. Wood ashes are not as
desirable as coal in fact they cause sore
feet if the birds wallow in them much

cess to an ash-heap are always in good
health and are great layers.

Cows give the most and richest milk
with less quantity of food, when from
three to five years old. After the age
of seven to eight the reduction in guam
tity and quality of product, taken in
connection with the Increased amount
of food necessary, is such that a large
proportion Of the old cows do not yield
enough to pay their keeping 1t is a
question Of vital Importance to every
dairyman, to know which of his herd
pays a profit and which entails loss.
Every farmer should in some simple
way test the milk, cream and butter
from each of his cows, besides weighing
the food consumed by each animal, for
one week, and profit by the result. The
information will be worth all it costs.
and it will often be found that one or
two good cows are producing the profits
and contributing to the support Of other
inferior animals.

The Ne,o England Farmer gives this
advice: Let every young farmer who
hopes to make a living by farming de-
termine at the outset to have library
of the best books concerning his chosen
business, to the value at least OF S25,
and then when any new thing comes
up which tempts him to spend a few
dollars, as for tree oats or the like, let
him Join with some farmers club, or
with some dozen of his neighbers, in
testing the new thing in a small way,
for the benefit Of all and at the expense
of all. We have seen a travelling agent,
Tor new kind of wonderful but worth
less seed corn, sell twenty-five or fifty
cent package at almost every house in
town, and where all the agricultural
books on the route, including the "Old
Farmers Almanac, y would not equal
the value OF the sales OF this one swim

The soil of garden, for the growth
Of common species of shrubs, peren-

quired for rhododendrons, azaleas, and
in the culture OF some of our fine native
plants.

In Holland a bank has not failed for

time been equal to gold; the fire insurance
companies do not burst up there, and the
average rates of premium are one-half of
one per cent, while the companies pay
twelve to sixteen per cent. to stockholders
ut that; there, official thieves are scarce,
and when found out are severely punished
and forever disgraced; sharp practices in
private business means public dishonor;

able to make living on 10000 square miles,
but are happy, prosperous and contented,
and, most wonderful OF all, everybody lives
within his income!

In the December issue Of Godey's Lady's
Book appear the valedictolies of both the
editor and the publisher of that magazine,
which with the beginning of the new year
passed into other hands. Much has been
written and said about the exhaustive ma
tire OF the journist's profession, and the
general deduction has been made that as a
general rule literary people are neither
long-lived nor are they able to withstand
the mental labor incumbent upon them,
over any extended period of years, COM
parison being had with numbers of other
callings. No better examples demonstrate
Ing the commonly accepted opinion could
be found than in the careers Of Mrs. Sarah
Josepha Hale and Mr.. L. A. Cooley. Mrs.
Hale states that she began the citing OF
the Lady's Magazine in 1s27-fifty years
ago. Nine years later that periodical was
consolidated with the Lady's Book, OF
which Mrs. Hale assumed the editorsbip.
the active duties of which she has subse-
quently continuously performed. A half
century OF steady journalistic labor is in
itself phenomenal, more so when it is con-
siderpd that Il woman has accomplished,
the task, and it becomes still more remark
allie wien we are told that it has been
done not early. but late in life. Mrs. Hale
having now attained the venerable age of
ninety years. Certainly no one would
imagine that the editor of the sprightly
periodical before us, a journal which pre-
eminently deals with fashion and art. and
is addressed especially to the young, is the
saline editor who wrote in the same bril-
liant way. and made up the same interest
Ing papers for our grandmothers, but the
fact remains that she of late years has
been writing for a third generation OF
readers. Tie saIue is true OF Mr.. Cooley.
although lie is mere youth as compared
with Mrs. Hale, being but seyenty-three
years of age. lie began literary work
when but fifteen years old, and hence his
journalistic life has extended over fifty
eight years, during all but the first ten OF
which he has unintcrr,ptedly published
the Lady's Book.
10th of these venerable members of the
prcss-and with tie exception of William
Cullen Bryant, We can recall none whose
years OF labor equal tlielrs-have long
since earned the public gratitude tor their
good works. 10 Mrs. Hale WAS largely
due the successful completion OF Bunker
Hill monument. She is the inventor OF
Thanksgiving day. for she fist suggested
the idea OF an American national thanks
giving in lS46, and her efforts towards the
advancement and education Of women
have been unt;ring and fIaitful OF beneii-
cisl results. Both herself and Ler asso-
ciate may look back with unsuitable pride
over tile 57l numbers Of the Lady's Book,
which they have prepared, in the con-
seriousness that their labors have tended
always toward the promotion Of eduea-
lion, culture and refined tsste.- Scientific
