Raising Sheep in Georgia.

A writer in the Atlanta (Ga) C0nstitu-
ton says that in 1871 he bought 400 acres of
reputed poor land in GIynn county, Georgia.
and pnt upon it 100 sheep. In 1873, by nat
ural increase, he had 3T6 ewes, and had
sent to market 70 wethers. His sheep were
penned nightly, and every two nights ma
nured half acre well. Since that time he
had brought into high state of cultivation
100 acres of land that seven years ago was
considered worthless. Since 1871 he has
bought 200 sheep and now owns 1900 head
He keeps shepherd, who is paid to attend
to his business, and keeps an accurate book
account of the sheep; and finds, by casting
up a balance sheet, that it costs him exactly
81 cents per annum to keep his flock. They
average him about 81 pounds of wool each.
Last year he clipped in May, and again in
September, and the clip amounted to 81 per
head. Last year he sold in Savannah and
Macon 5000 pounds of wool, at an average of
80 cents per pound, including a few pounds
of merinO wool, which makes the gross re-
ceipts $2970. The annual expense of the
flock was $l026. So there was an absolute
net profit in the wool of $l664. Last year
he sold in the above cities % wethers as NUT
ton for $342 making a total of $2289. Be
sides this, he has fertilized the poor wire
grass land, so that last year he cultivated 81
acres, and from Al acres in corn he made an
average of 81 bushels; 10 in sugar cane, that
made 56 barrels in syrup; 10 in oats, that
averaged 43 bushels to the acre, and on the
an abundance ofall kinds of truck
farming, receiving for his sales of vegetables
in New York a net profit of 1921.

Defects of Mixed Husbandry.

We see in the agricultural papers fire.

dry as the safest and surest path for the
average farmer to pursue. Ten years ago
/ commenced farming without experience
on virgin soil. "Mixed husbandry" was my
motto. That is, / bought n few cows, a
few hogs and a span Of mares, intending
the latter for double duty,-raising colts
aud blowing prairie, and all the running
round besides planted corn, sowed wheat
and oats, watching closely the old farmers
and following their example. Two years
experience cured me of raising wheat. Two
more, | dropped oats from my list. /
thought it best to let those who under
stood raising wheat and oats raise them. /
was becoming specialist without knowing
it. | sOwed few acres TO grass, planted
more corn, bought a few head of young cat
tie now and then as | was able, and every
fall cut up my corn for the stalks to winter
them on. For year two / thought my
method Of farming could not be improved
upon Continual toll viii tell in time on
the strongest. / turned my cattle on the
range in the spring. / had not numbers
enough to pay for herding. but Determined
10 hunt them up every night and yard

But my" blowing hurried me, my cult
walton did the same, and my grass got too
ripe before il was cut, a. soon as / got time
10 look up my cattle, four Or my best steers

profits. / found, too when put up lot Of

Preserving Cut Flowers.

At this time Of year, when flowers are
scarce and dear, every one is naturally anX-
iOus to preserve them in a nice fresh con-
dition as long as possible and not only this,
but also to make the best display that can
be done with a small quantity. Ofall ways
of showing them off the most natural, as
well as the most economical, is that of using
any low, shallow vessel, either of glass or
china, of about the size and depth of a
soup plate. If this is filled with nice fresh
wood moss, made up in n slightly conical
or mound-like form, the flowers and foliage
can be arranged to great advantage, and
made to look almost as natural as If grow
ing in the positions in which they are
placed, instead of having that excessively
formal appearance they generally have when
packed in vase. Not only do they look
Infinitely better in this way, but they last
fresh considerably longer, owing to the
much larger surface exposed Immediately
under them, and from whence a stream of
vapor is continually arising from the moss
surrounding their stems. Besides the nice
fresh appearance this has, il is of great use
both for the above-named purpose and for
keeping the flowers in any position they
may be placed in, SO that they may be
quickly and easily arranged. One reason
why many flowers are so shOrt-lived when
cut is, that to get them in quickly, they are
SOMETIMES SUBJECTED 70 more neat anu con-
tinement than Is good for them, and when
TO this there is loss of light, as occurs at
this season, the petals must inevitably
come thin and tlimsy, in which state a dry
air mt once affects them unfavorably. This
being the case, any plants that are being
grown for the purpose of supplying cut
blooms should be stood as near the glass as
can be done without touching, and in such
positions that they may have full benefi of
all the sunshine available. So favored
there will be little difficulty in keeping
them fresh for a considerable length Of
time, provided the situation they occupy
in the room when cut is far removed from
the fire, and not where they are subjected
to draughts, as they would be if placed
between the door and the CRATE, as there is
always air passing from the one to the other,
caused by the combustion of the fuel

GLASS sTAINING.
An Account Of the Art In Its Various
Stages.
From Harner's Bazaar.

From Harper's Bazaar.
Let US now follow the art of glass-staining
through its chief stages. The design of the
window being determined upon, and the
cartoon or full-sized drawing being prepared,
a kind of skeleton drawing is made, show ing
only the lines which indicate the shape of
each separate piece of glass 1t is appa-
rentIy not generally understood that
window is not one piece of glass, to which
are applied the various cOlors displayed, but
a number of small pieces which are united
by grooved lead which incloses each in
diyidual fragment, and that each different
color we see is the color of that particular
piece of glass, the only painting material
employed being the dark-brown pigment
used to define the more delicate and minute
details. This skeleton or working drawing,
then passes TO the cutting room; where
sheets of glass of every imaginable shade
are arranged in racks, each bearing num-
Der, by which a particular tint is known
The drawing being numbered on each sepa-
rate piece of glass by means of frame
containing small pieces of every shade, and
each numbered according to the rack con-
tanning the glass of that color, the use of
this frame renders unnecessary the tedious
process of visiting each rack in search of
the particular shade required the glass Is
laid bit by bit on the drawing, and each
piece is then cut to the required shape by
means of diamond.
After the glass is cut, it passes to the
painter, who, laying 1t over the drawing,
traces upon it with his brush all the details
of features, folds Of drapery, foliage, &c,
as designed by the artist. But as the action
of the weather and the continually varying
conditions Of the atmosphere would speed
lily remove every vestige of paint if left IN
this state, it Is necessary to subject the
uaiufn1 GLASS "a the action of heat bV Mac
ing it for several hours in a kiln, under the
Of which the paint is fused into
absolute affinity with the glass and becomes
actually incorporated with its substance.
After this burning process, it only remains
for the different pieces to be united with the
grooved leaden framework which binds
the whole together. The places where
the leads join are then carefully sOldered
and nothing remains but to thor
1uchly work over the whole surface with
thick cement, which fills up any interstices
between the glass and lead, and renders the
whole panel perfectly water tight and
