Keeping Old Sheep.

1t is folly, to keep old sheep. They
should be turned Off to the butcher while
they are in their prime. 1t does not
take half SO much to fatten them then.
When they get old and thin, in order to
put them in condition to slaughter the
whole superstructure must be rebuilt.
-Four sets of lambs are all that a eve can
bear; this will bring her TO five years
and this is an age when with little ex-
ira care, she will round into fine car
cass. Exceptions may be made when
the breed is scarce, and the blood is
more valuable than anything else.

To Repair a Flat Roof.

Flat, leaky, shingle roofs have been
well repaired by using hot tar in which
hydraulic cement has been mixed, until
it is as thick as can be spread. When
it is spread, sift more dry cement over
it until person can walk over it with
out its sticking to his feet. The tar pre-
vents the cracking of the cement, while
that In turn prevents the tar from run
ming. If it is well worked under the
shingles, and the cracks are well filled,
a good waterproof roof may be made
with little expense.

How 10 Keep Young.

A good woman never grows old. Years
NAV go over her head, but II benevo
lence and virtue dwell In her heart she
Is as cheerful ns when the spring of life
first opened to her view. When we
look upon good woman, we never
think of her age-she looks as charm
ing as when the rose of youth bloomed
upon her cheek. That rose has not fad
ed. In her neighborhood she Is friend
and benefactor, in the church the devout
worshipper and the exemplary Chris
tain. Who does not love and respect
the woman who has passed her days in
acts of kindness and mercy-who has
been the friend of man and God-whose
whole life has been scene of kindness
and love, devotion of love and rellg-
ion We repeat, such woman cannot
grow old; she will always be fresh and
buoyant In spirits, and active In humble
deeds of mercy and benevolenee. If a
young lady desires to retain the bloom
and beauty of youth, let her not yield
to the sway of fashion and folly; let
her love truth and virtue, and to the
close of life she will retain those feelings
which now make life appear garden of
sweets ever fresh and ever new.

HYT In fattening beef, let process be as
quick as possible. Any stint in feeding
at such times will tend to make the
meat tough and dry. Stall fed animals
will fatten more readily than others,
and yourg animals require richer food
than older ones. In winter, fattening
much depends upon the warmth of the
stable. The warmer the cattle are kept
the less food will be needed.

Broom. Corn Seed.

An exchange states that the seed of
broom corn, which has hitherto been
considered useless except for planting,
and an inferior food for cattle, has been
discovered to be valuable as breadstufi,
1t was first used as substitute for
wheat in 1870 and 1871, but, like many
other good things was lost sight of, and
its manufacture was never carried to
success, and never became even particu-
larly known until about three years ago.
The yield of flour is about one.half in
place of two-thirds from wheat. The
bran is also as valuable AS wheat bran
as food for animals. The flour cannot
be told from wheat flour, and the bread,
cake, etc., is delicate, inviting, and deli
cious, and easily digested. The yield of
broom. corn seed is also enormous, a sim
gle spear often producing pint of seed
and the yield has reached five hundred
bushels to the acre, while it is safe to es-
innate the average at one hundred BUSH
els.
