Locomotives Shave been successfully
employed in France for the purpose Of
towing canal boats. They are small.
not weighing over four or five tons. and
run ON a track laid down about four
teet from tho edge Of the canal, drawing
the boats TO cable some three hundred
feet In length. The speed attainablc
without injury to boat or canal Is at
least twice and probably three times as
great as that furnished by horse power ;
ana only one man is needed to manage
the engine. There is reason to believe
that towing locomotives will ultimately
come into regular use on some Of tho
chief canals in France.

Irish ISurtIs.

The race of Irish Bards proper in Ireland
was destroyed in the rcigns of Elizabeth,
James the First, Cromwell and William
Ill. In praise of the Irish harp, Lord
Bacon says says: "Thc harpc hath the
concavc not along the strings, but across
the strings, and no harpe hath the sound SO
melting and SO prolonged as the Irish
harpc." Few philosophers could bring to
bear on such matters Il finer Judgment Than
Lord Bacons. There is matter for musical
study and the study of the philosophy of
acoustics in these words of the great author
OF tho "Novum Organum." Some people
erroneousy imagine that the Irish harp is
but al improved adaptation Of the Greek
Tyre. This is not SO. The latter is neither
more nor less than the bent bow of the
archer, so bent that the curved ends are
almost brought together. The twanglng
sound OF the bowstring as it vibratcd after
sending the arrow on its deadly mission,
doubtless gave rise to the famous Tyre of
Apollo. The harp of Erin was originally
snapped like right-angcd Triangle Irish
music is full of a delicate pathos. The
lovc songs OF the country are tender and
chlvalrous The national Cor war) songs
literally blaze with fire. "Oh for the
Swords of Former Timcs," T.ct Erin Re
member the Days of Old, " ''Who Fears to
Speak of Ninety eight" are specimens at
random. For love and pariotisrr CON-
blned, the song of O'Ruark, more COM
monty known by the title, s'rhc Valley
Lay Smiling Before Me-" may fairly chal-
lcngc any melody in the world. Begin
ming in minor key it breathcs the very cs-
sencc OF tenderness. a slight pause; the
key changes into major, and the song be-
comes icrce and electric. From grave to
gay, peculiar characteristic of the people
themselves, the Irish music is easily trans
possible. Where on the wide earth is there
such exquisite sorrow in sound as in the
melody, "Silent, o Moylc, be the roar of
thy watcrs2" Let this be followed by that
rollicliing and most dcvil-may care of all
airs, 'Garryowcn,' and II fair example of
inns transportation may be noted. Thcn
again, take "St. Patrick's Day." not as
played by an organ-grindcr, but by an
IRISH harper, or good yiolinist, and the
heels Of an lrishman will pulsatc in perfect
unison with the joyous bcatings of his
heart.

FEED FOR SuEEP.-In raising sheep
foor the wool crop feeds are almost in
dispensable, though they arc not OF go
much Importance cases where sheep
arc raisou for mutton alone. And noM
lot us give you reason for it. Wool
Is simply growth of minute homes
nothing more nor less. Bones arc
mainly composed Of phosphate, and
hence to stimulate the growth to its
fullest extent feed rich in phosphatcs
would need to be given. Root feeds,
as turnips, bects and the like, arc rich
In phosph@tcs, and arc, therefore, the
proper tccds to stimulate wool growth.
There can be no question about this.
In this lot feed flock Of sheep on tur-
nips ana hay, and in thai adjoining lot
feed flock Of the same breed on corn
and hay, or on any other feed, leaving
out the roots, and you will soon see a
marked difference IN results. The for
mer having received a larger amount
Of phosphates than the latter, the wool
will be more healthy and in Il better
condition generally.

AGRICULTURE.

BORROWING AMONG FARMERS. - 10
lend unto the needy and give unto HIM
that asketh is both charitable and neigh
borly. ard, when the practice is pro-
prrly conducted, q great convenience
all round, but when 1t is all on one side
1t becomes another thing entirely. A
farmer may supply himself with an out
fit of such tools and Implements as are
necessary to carry on his farm and gar
den, but to keep them in his possession
and In good order is not so easy. One
comes to borrow a hoe, rake, or spade.
for use in his garden another wants
to borrow saddle to ride few miles,
another Il log chain, swingletrcc, mat
took, etc., until half the things on the
place arc lent out, and when wanted
for use must either be sent for or the
owner do without until il suits the con-
venience Of the borrower to return
them. But the evil does not stop here.
Not unfrcqucntly the borrowed article
comes home broken, and, If OF iron or
steel, always rusty or dull, even If, after
having kept It so long, tho borrower
does not actually claiIl it as his own.
That neighbors can accommodate each
oLher, and with mutual advantage,
there Is no doubt, provided the practice
Is properly cOnductcd-there then being,
as old Grimshaw would say. sr"cipro-
city in the business;' but with the ad-
vantage all one side 1t is sort of re-
ciprOcity not 50 agreeable on the other.
The farmer should first provide himself
with the necessary tools to carry on his
farm, and If by accident he is compel
led to borrow he should at leas. take
good care of and return anything that
is lent him the moment he is done with

THE following is very cheap and cx-
ccllcnt paint for farm buildings, form
ing hard surface, and as its hardness
Increases by time, 1t IS far more dura-
bic than paint: Take freshly burned
unslakcd lime and reduce to powder.
TO one peck or one hushcl of this add
the same quantity Of fine white sand
or fine coal ashes, and twice us much
fresh wood ashes, all these being sifted
through a fine sieve. They should
then be thoroughly mixed together
while dry. At'tcrward mix them with
us much common linsccd oil as will
make the whole thin enough to work
freely with painters brush. This will
make paint OF light gray stone color,
nearly white. TO mako 1t fawn or
drab add yellow ochro and India red +:
if draO is desired add burnt lumber,
India red and a little black; If dark
stone color, add lampblack, orif Blown
stone, then add Spanish brown. All
these colOrs should, OF course, be first
mixed in oil and then added. This
paint is very much cheaper than COM
mon oil paint. 1t is equally well suit
ed to wood, brick or stone. it better
to apply it In two c0ats-the first thin :,
the second thick.
