Raising Early Lambs for Market.
A shrewd, clear-heade friend Is trying
Tor he firna the nlan nf raising lam hS
to be sold in the Chicago market in May or
June Thus far he is well pleased with the
results He has not reached the final test
actual sales-but his success in rearing the
lambs is such that he purposes enlarging his
flock this year. In speaking OF the business
and of the necessity for careful attention to
the newly-dropped lambs which come In
mid winter, he made q remark which seems
trite and commonplace, but which has in it
the explanation of the marked success OF
some men and of the small profits of very
many. While this close attention and
watchful care is not especially pleasant he
had observed that any business in which any
body could engage without much OF an in
vestment of money, or labor, or skill, or
close personal attention, did not leave much
margin for profit. His previous training
we'll fits him for his proposed business, and
we see no reason to doubt his success in it.
Our friend purchased last season about 100
ewes and eve lambs-only dozen or so of
the latter. As a class they are rather inferior.
common ewes, of mongrel breeding, some OF
them quite old. They cost only $1.65 each,
on an average. He bred them to Lincoln
fellows; the Oldest were dropped about the
first of the year. Some of these at the middle
of April would weigh fully so pounds Cir
cumstances made it inconvenient to ship
these. although probably they would have
sold for as much at that date as at any latter
bot will hottar SI1nDliad
The prir cipal difficulty thus far has been the
failure to get any uniformity in the time of
Landing, some of the ewes not coming in
until the middle of April. This is probably
partly attributable to their thin flesh In the
fall-possibly to overtaxing the rams. 1t Is
hoped this difficulty may be avoided In flu
ture. A trial of some of the Down rams is
proposed for next winter.
Washing and Ironing of Summer Dresses.
The great difficulty about summer wash
ing dresses is the washing of them. Cotton
and linen materials are infinitely varied,
and almost infinitely charming when made
up in the pretty designs which modern
taste has created, but the very essence and
beauty of these same designs is the graceful
arrangement of a certain amount OF drapery,
and how to have this laundried, and good
effect preserved without annihilating cost
| or the expenditure of more time and trouble
than can be bestowed upon it, is the prob
| lem. There are ladies who have little TO do
which soils their dresses. and who can there
fore afford to have an occasional costume
sent away from home. and carefully done
up by a French b;anchisseuse; but the
majority while DESTROYS of utilizing the
lovely foulard cambrics, the new
chintz satins, and the soft mum
my cloths, are in despair over the
