Among other substantial things believed
in by the Germans there is good old adage
which runs s'Unkraut vergeht nicht,' which
being anglicised means that there is no way
to extirpate or destroy bad weeds. The say

father OF lies spawns his bad eggs with each
generation, so that there is no danger of the
old Adam running out. F'rinstai ce, A. @.

Thursday night Savage, Rapp and two
boys were In Hohn's saloon on Wabashaw
street. The parties drank together and one
of the boys made a remark that didn't suit
Savage, whereupon he gave him most fear

door, came out and expostulated with the
men at pitching into the boys, whereupon
Savage took after Snyder, who was followed
into the store and subjected to the most out
rageous abuse.

Baked Bones and Oyster Shells.

An entertaining correspondent of the Amer
lean Poultry Yard writes as follows:
Isupposed did my duty by my hens when
| burnt bones to ivory whiteness, ground them
to the consistency of flour and fed them oc-
casionally, with the idea that l was giving
them egg shells in q very available form. But
| did not consider that the gelatine, the fat,
the ammonia, and other constituents of the
bones, which were discharged by the internal
heat lleaving only little pure lime) were
really the richest possible food for the hens
and the greatest egg -producing diet that could
be furnished them. My new tenant only bakes
them, more or less brown, in an old tin plate
on the top crate of the stove oven. This is
not very pleasant process; for, like all
scorched portions of the animal frame, they
give pungent, half-suffocating SMELL which
tempts you TO ''clar de kitchen" till the fresh
air from doors and windows has sent the
Objectionable odors into outer space But
you soon become reconcied 10 this invasion
of i'll scents when the fiery combs, the cease
less cGckle, the evident high health of your
fowls, and the daily filled egg-basket show
you what they have accomplished
No other food, not any amount of food, if
this is left out, will give you such returns :;
and this baked bone, pounded with a hammer
on rock in your poultry pens. and fed with
ordinary feed, will give results that ought to
satisfy the most craving disposition. The
hens cluster around that primitive bone mill,
gulpng down the rich morsels with evident
delight; and since everything necessary for
the production Of eggs is thus fully furnished,
there is no undue strain on the vital forces,
no weakening of the system, but a daily at
tention to business, to the complete satisfac-
ton of the fowls and their owners.
You can hardly give too much burned
bones TO your hens to provide the necessary
amount of lime for the egg-shells and the
next best thing for that purpose is oyster
shells, which can be obtained by the barrel
land generally without any cost except tax
ing away at hotels or restaurants in Your
nearest city. My new tenant goes eighteen
miles for them, and considers them cheap
enough at that. The hens eat them when
pounded into fragments as eagerly as they
pick up shelled corn, and they furnish the
needed material for the egg-shel more COM
plotely than anything else
l do not quite believe in giving broken
earthernware, as some propose doing. The
sharp corners are more likely to cut or other
wise injure the crop than the more easily di-
gested oyster-shels 1t is very probable. al
so, that some of the constituents of the shells
may be beneficial to the hens in other ways
than simply furnishing egg-shells, and it is
not possible that they could find anything
nourishing in broken kitchen dishes.

and Pennsylvania hold only insignificant
quantities So close has the wool crop been
sold up that the manufacturers Of wooden
goods now fully employed and with heavy
contracts on hand for future production, will
find it difficult to obtain supplies to bridge
over until another clip is marketed As
showing how rapidly wool is passing into the
hands Of manufacturers, we find during the
last twcnty-seven weeks the sales Of wool in
this city alone have been 7L1j2,30O pounds
rs against 80, O90, GOO pounds for the cores
ponding period of last year, an increase in
the comparison of 50, O92, 200 pounds. Thus
it will be seen that the mills this year are
consuming almost double the wool taken by
them last year. These indications all point
to a healthy demand at high prices for next
springs clip, and a substantial encourage
mont to those who are engaged in raising this
prominent staple. Nor should the problem
of producing mutton for home consumption
or foreign export be overlooked. Our far
mers should make greater study Of the adap-
liability Of various breeds Of sheep TO the diff
ferent localities, and Of the possibilities of
profit in sheep husbandry through the chan
nels of WOOL mutton, and early lambs. 1t is
gratifying to know that an industry so pecu-
liarly well adapted to the resources of the
farmers of this section promises 50 well in
the immediate future. 49, CUHicatOr.

If the farmers of New England and New
York could be brought to a realizing sense Of
the Importance of sheep husbaudry in their
farm economy, a large source of income could
he added to the present production of their
farms Especially is this the case in many
of the rough and hilly pastures which abound
throughout this section, where an intelligent
system of extra feeding of grain or oil cake
would add fertility to the soil and liberal
profits TO the proprietor. No argument in
favor of an increased attention to sheep hus-
bandry has greater weight than the present
high and advancing prices of wool Now that
M feeces are selling freely OF fifty cents per
pound, with prospect of reaching fifty-fYe
conts, while some holders are even predict
ing an advance to sixty cents, the thought in-
voluntarily presents itself that every industry
has its turn, that those who have had faith
III sheep, who have not abandoned wool and
mutton raising, are now in the direct line of
financial promotion. A persistent, method
cal course concerning any legitimate branch
OF farm economy is far better than q yaciIlat-
ing policy, which, for instance, sells sheep
when low and purchases again at the top of
the market
This marked advance in wool seems to pos
sess many elements of permanency, the first
cause being in the radical Improvement of
the general business of the country. Timid
holders have feared that high prices for wool
in this country might precipitate large i'm
portations of foreign wool and consequent
overstock in our markets. The great Eng
lish sales held recently at London, as well as
adylces from Australia aud other large wool
producing countries have settled the fact
that the choice wool supply is short the world
over and that high prices are not confined to
the United States Recent English adyices
sum up the advance in wool rs follows Cross
bred, 20 per cent, fine wool 10 to II per
cent, and East India 30 per cent advance
The choice woods of Australia suited 10 this
market will not exceed "a 900, 600 pounds,
which, with our present consumption, aside
from the French and English competition for
the same woods, would have little effect upon
the values here, In fact fifty cents per pound
is now offered for Australian woods to arrive
in March. 1t is evident that supplies from
abroad can only be obtained at very high
prices while the demand in this country will
be such that values will be forced up much
higher at foreign wool centres than are now
current.
Never in the experience of the trade has
the interior been 80 completely cleared of
wool as now. The farmers in Ohio, Virginia

The FABMERs STORE OF ICE.-The best
time to lay up ice is just as soon as the ponds
are frozen deep enough. The first made ice
is usually the cearest and most solid, and it
keeps much better put up when hard and
clear, than late in winter, after the warm
south winds have rendered it more or less
rotten and full Of air bubbles. In cutting,
let the blocks be of uniform size so they will
pack closely in the ice house. See that the
floor of the building, which may be the nat
ural soil, is sufficiently porous to drain off all
the water that mets Spread it over several
inches deep with sawdust, and in packing the
ice leave space of foot all around the
building between the ice and boarding to be
filed with solid sawdust, then cover the
whole with two feet, more or less, of saw
dust or swamp hay-anythiug to keep the air
from the ice. Guard especially against let
ting air holes form in the mass of ice, as
circulation of air between the blocks will melt
and waste the ice rapidly. Keep the cover
ing well packed against and over the ice at
all times. Ice will keep best when stored in
the clearest, coolest weather for even ice
varies in temperature, and the more cold
We can bottle up with it the better it will
keep. We have said that, if family can get
their yearly supply Of ice for a small sum,
five or ten dollars, it may be better to pur-
chase than to lay it up, yet that will depend
somewhat upon each ones circumstances
Where farmers have nothing to do in the
winter season, either for themselves or their
teams, except the usual morning and evening
chores, that is, if they are not earning money
by their labor, then it may be good economy
to cut and store their own ice, even if the
quantity needed is not large. Ten dollars, or
five dollars, is a sum worth saving by any one
who is having little or no cash income. 1t
won't do to give week or ten days time
during the busy summer season, to pay for
the same amount of idleness in winter, when
one may work just as well us not But don I
fail to secure the needed ice in some way,
while the season is favorable.
