Canada 81, 3s7, 500, the remaining $l37,-
500 being retained by England till the

average of fifteen years, although as
with sheep and other domestic animals,
they often exceed their allotted time.
Rings on their horns indicate their age
after they arrive at the age of three
years. At four years old ring is
formed at the root of the horn, and every
succeeding year another is added; thus
by allowing three years, and adding the
number of rings, it is easy to arrive
at the animals age. Hogs have been
known to live for forty years, though
their average is much less. The average
of the horse is twenty years. but as
beasts of burden they seldom attain that
age. When kindly treated, however,
and well provided for they will exceed
twenty and instances are on record
where they have lived to the age of
fifty. The longevity of the elephant is
greater than that of any other animal.
The average age has never been COM
puted, but many have been known to
live to very advanced age. There is
white elephant now living in the I'm
perial Menagerie in Russia that is said
to be over $50 years.-Dirtgo Rayal.

TO PREVENT LOSS OF HAIR.

Q) Take three ounces of pulverized
sage, and turn pint of cold, soft water
over it; have it in tin dish with a
cover; let it steep over the fire ten or
fifteen minutes; strain it off and add
tablespoonful of pulverized borax, and
the same quantity of fine salt. Keep in
a tight corked bottle, and apply with
sponge or soft cloth, by rubbing gently
all over the head; then brush lightly.
Use it night and morning. ~ Vinegar
of cantharides, one ounce; glycerine,
two ounces ; rose water, six ounces. Mix,
and use as other hair washes. (3) Go
to any respectable druggist and get
pound of pressed hemlock bark. 1t is
put up in pound packages, and costs
about twenty-five cents package. Take
a hammer and break up the package,
separating all the pieces, putting the
whole into three-quart tin pail; then
pour two quarts of boiling soft water
over it, and set it where it will simmer
slowly away. When reduced to about
three pints, set it one side to cool and
settle, then pour off the clean liquor and
throw the rest away; wet the whole
scalp thoroughly four or five times a
day, rubbing gently with the fingers
(not finger nails), and after the scalp
gets a little healthier and stronger, a
little more friction may be used. l
never saw but one package. If the liq-
uor should get little mouldy by stand
ing, gently remove the mould, and the
clear liquor is as good as before. (4)
Take of glycerine two parts and bay
rum one part, and you will have good
hair restorative. l have used it for my
self and others with good success. Apply
twice week, or oftener, as the case may
require. Brush thoroughly once or twice
day; do not use comb more than can
be helped. (5) Strong infusion of black
tea, one pint; bay rum, four ounces oil
of lavender, one drachm; alcohol, four
ounces. (6) Castor oil, eight ounces

FEEDING ROOTS TO SHEEP.

English farmers, who raise large guam
titles of roots, feed out the common white
turnip from October to Christmas. Then
varieties that grow larger and ripen
later like the yellow Aberdeen. and then
later still the Swede turnip or ruta baga,
and last of all the maDgel-wurzel, or
large stock beet. They no more think
of feeding mangel-wurzel in the autumn
or early winter than we should think of
eating Russell or Northern Spy apples in
the fall. In my own case, | seldom
commence to feed mangels to the sheep
till the last of February or beginning of
March. My breeding-ewes seldom have
any till they are sucking their lambs.
When eve lambs, we usually place
her and her lambs by themselves for
few days, and we take this time to CON-
mence feeding mangels. We give the
eve at first handful of sliced mangels
two or three times day, and gradually
increase the quantity. We have our
lambs come in February and March,
and as the weather is very cold, we slip
the eve for few days with warm bran
mash. And can commend the plan.
When the ewes have become accustomed
to the mangels, they may have all you
can afford to give them. But if you
have only limited quantity, it is better
to feed sparingly at first, and as the
lambs get older and need more milk,
feed the ewes better. If you have enough,
give them all they can eat up clean
but recollect that they will eat great
many, aud that in this climate our grass
is not to be depended upon till the mid
die of May. l have never known year
the mangels could not be fed to great
advantage. We never had too many of
them. like to keep a few till the
middle of June, to feed to the sucking
lambs. Then in regard to last years
lambs, we usually commence to feed
them sliced mangels in February. They
will cat but few at first, but as spring
approaches they will eat more, and grow
almost as fast as if they were at grass.

of his coming to see them in such

He was soon as happy and smiling as

he would not listen to them. so. taking

some one had left the outside door open

He shook his head, and went sturdily

he would not 60 home, still she slipped

A Low VOICE IN WOMAN.

Yes, we agree with that old poet who
said that low, soft voice was an sex
cellent thing in woman" Indeed, we
feel inclined tc 60 much farther than he
has on the subject, and call it one of her
browning charms. No matter what other
attractions she may have; she may be
as fair as the Trojan Helen, and as
learned as the famous Hypatia of an
cient times she may have all the &C.
complishments considered requisite at
the present day, and every advantage
that wealth can procure, and yet if she
lacks low, sweet voice, she can never
be really fascinating. How often the
spell of beauty is broken by coarse, loud
talking. How often you are irresistibly
drawn to a plain, unassuming woman,
whose soft, silvery tones render her
positively attractive. Besides, we fancy
we can judge of the character by the
voice; the bland, smooth, fawning tones
seem to betoken deceit and hypocrisy as
invariably as the musical, subdued voice
indicates genuine refinement. In the
social circle how pleasant it is to hear a
woman talk in that low key which al
ways characterizes the true lady. In
the sanctuary at home how such voice
soothes the fretful child and cheers the
weary husband. How sweetly its ca
dence floats through the sick chamber
and around the dying bed; with what
solemn melody do they breathe prayer
for the departing soul! All, yes, low
voice is certainly ian excellent thing in
woman"
