Sheep Raising.


Mr.. Edward C. Legg, Of Keut Island,
Nd, has in the last four years paid much
attention sheep raising. Il Z is consihced
from bis experience land has figures to
prove III that sheep Of any variety pay
better than any thing else kept on the
farm. They improve the land, afford de-
lieious food, and are remunesative both
for wool and mutton, aud require dom BAR
atively less trouble and expense than any
thing else. Mr.. Legg thinks that Meri-
noes are the most profitable sheep raised,
especially 10 large herds. 10 comparison
with the long woods, the Merinoes thrive
in pfopoltionof 5 " 3 ID favor Of fhe
Merino; they shear more wool to the
sheep, live to an older age, and give as
much mutton to the same land as the Cots
void. The Cotswold eMes, however, often
bring twin lAmbs, while the Merino never
bears but one. Mr. I.egg bad five ewes
this year to bring triplefs His Eve year
old Merino ram sheared l9lbs. and four
year old ewes Il lhs to the fleece When
acclimated 30 lbs. Is not an uncommon
fleece to get from the American Merinos
Mr.. Legs flock in years has increased
from ~ TO $50 breeding ewes, al Of which
raised lambs this season. itf -
Mr Legg believes that 4 Merino pfopa{
gated from cross Of heavy shearipg and
large-size Cotswold ewes, win exeei ID
carcass and weight Of fleece even the orig
inal Spanish Merino; and II the prepo-
tency Of this newly made Merino eau be

Fighting an Eagle.

From our excellent Webster CORE
spondent, "Vide ct Audi" we learn
the particulars of q startling adventure
which a resident of that town had on
Saturday afternoon last, while walking
in a piece of woods about half a mile
distant from his residence. The resi-
dent in question is Mr.. Hiram Robb, a
well-knOwn farmer of that town. He
lives about half mile north of the
Village of Webster, and the woods
above mentioned are about half mile
further north, and about two or three
miles from the shore of Lake Ontario.
While walking quietly along he was
suddenly and Unexpectedly attacked by
a huge bird, which he soon recognized
as an eagle. 1t came at him so savage
~ and appeared so large that at first
Mr.. RObb attempted to run away, but,
it pursued him and compelled him to
fight for his very life. The encounter
was fierce for a few minutes, and Mr..
Robb was thrown in the struggle. The
eagle tore a piece out of his boot and
also a piece out of his coat. Finally
Mr.. Robb threw himself bodily upon
the eagle and held it down the best he
could. 1t struggled away from him,
however, and evidently began to see
that it had found foe worthy of its
cruel beak. BY this time Mr.. Robb's
blood was up, and discovering from
the actions of the bird that its wing
had been injured. he made up his mind
to take the bird alive if possible. The
ARRAY finally resulted in q complete
victory for Mr.. Robb, who secured the
discounted eagle and took it to his
home alive. There it was found to
measure seven feet from tip to tip. It
is supposed that the eagle was rendered
SO savage by hunger that it attacked
the first living thing that came in its
path. Since its capture scores of per-
sons have seen it at Mr.. Robb's house.
It is fine specimen of the American
eagle, and supposed to be one of the
family domiciled near the shores of the
lake. The wonder is that Mr.. Robb
was not seriously injured in the strange
encounter, and his courage in fighting
and capturing the savage bird is COM
mendable. He has sustained only q
few scratches, but he does not deny that
he was considerably startled when at
tackled. Rochester On. ~ cypress.

Self Defense Among Plants.

In 3 recent lecture, Mr.. Francis Da1-
win gave some curious instances Of the
way plants are protected from insects
and other dangers. Opium, strychnine
and belladonna, he said, three of the
most deadly poisons, were all formed
ny plants as a means of defense to pre-
serve them from cattle, etc. A curious
use was made of this poisonous
property, as recorded by LIVING
stone, who states that at one place
in South Africa the natives were in the
habit Of catching their zcbras by mash
ing up some poisonous plant in their
drinking places. Poppies are protected
by poison from the attack of goats and
probably of other cattle. The strych-
nine plant was good example of the
way in which poison was limited to the
part of the plant where it was needed.
Almonds were also protected by poison,
cultivators generally sowing the bitter
kind, as the sweet kind was eaten by
mice. Other plants were protected,
not by strong poisons, but by some
aromatic substance. The fenncl, anise
and carraway seeds were examples of
this, which were not eaten by the birds
on that account. The lime, which was
protected by this aroma, was able to
grow wild and hold its own anywhere.
whereas the orange, the citron and the
olive required to be carefully preserved
and watched. The mint was another
example Of plant protected against
cattle by this aromatic principle. Flow
ers are often more aromatic than the

How Queen Victoria Receives Her
Mail.

Edmund Yates, writing in London
magazine, says: "The train, which we
may assume is bound due north, and
which contains the royal messenger
and his precious freight of mail boxes,
has crossed the border, and before it
has arrived at Perth day has broken
over the tops of the Scotch mountains.
Balmoral is reached al last. It is a
sweet summer day, and the Queen is
seated in the tent on the lawn, where
she frequently breakfasts in the warm
weather, and remains for hours by her
self or with her ladies. The sorting of
The contents of the colossal mail-bags
will take upward of an hour, and then
Her Majesty will be informed that all is
ready. Many letters are left for the
Royal hands to open. Thus foreign
Sovereign, or one Of the Queens chill
dren, or it may even be one of her SUBJ
jects whom she hOnors with her friend
ship, has addressed an epistle to Her
Majesty, in the same way that friends,
acquaintances and connections write to
each other in ordinary lite. But even
this communication only reaches its
proud destination by aslightly circuit
GUS route. The autograph commune
cation of the Car or Kaiser would first
60 to the Russian or German Embassy
in London, would then be sent to the
Foreign Office in Whitehall, and would
travel from the Foreign Office to Bal
moral in one of the aforementioned
boxes. In the same way will be treated
the letters of those members of the
Royal family who may from time to
time be abroad, or for the matter of
that at home. The Prince of Wales
may employ the penny post in writing
to an acquaintance. His Royal High
ness has resort to the State boxes when
he addresses his august mother, and
the letter is usually inclosed under
cover to the Queens Secretary. There
is not one paper in these boxes which
the Queen will fail TO examine. On
many she will ask for more informa-
ton; on some she win give definite
opinions which cannot be confined
within the limits Of sheet of note

How to Make 4 Tailless Kite.

As the kite season is now at it's
height, boys will be interested to know
that a man in Rochester has succeeded
in making kite which dispenses with
that troublesome adjustment, a tail.
It is made after q Holland pattern, and
the Rochester Express thus tells how to
copy it: " The shape of the kite is
what the boys call diamond. The
cross-bar, which in tail kite of the
diamond pattern is straight, should be
made of hickory and bowed by connect
ing the ends with q taut string. It
should then be placed at right angles
with the perpendicular stick and fast
ened securely, the bend of the bow be-
ing backward from the intersection of
the sticks. Run q string around over
the end of each stick and cover the
frame With light tissue paper. For a
four-foot kite the perpendicular stick
should extend three feet below the
point OF intersection with the bow and
one foot above it. The bow should be
one and one half feet long on each side
of the point of intersection with the
perpendicular stick. The belly cord
should be united at the point of inter-
section and at the same distance down
the perpendicular stick as the arms
Of the bow extend on each side Of the
perpendicular stick. The band is at
tached at only two points, the point of
intersection and at . point below. in
the f0ur-foot kite mentioned, one and
one-half feet below the point Of inter-
section. Tie these two strings t0getk-
er and attach the captive cord, balanc-
