Fine Flock of Hooded sheep.

Mr.. H. G. Philpot arrived here few
days ago from Lebanon, Tenn, with a
flock of 1876 as fine blooded sheep as we
ever saw together at one time. They
are Cotswold and Southdown, and he
is here for the purpose of selling to
those who wish to improve on their
stock of sheep. He, no doubt, will
sell them all out before he returns.
The drove Mr.. Philpot has on exhibit
ton is the finest we ever saw, and he
says they were sheared just before
leaving home, and averaged over
eleven pounds per sheep, which was
sold for 40 cents per pound. He also
has taken orders for a large number
of Jersey cows, which are to be
brought down in the fall. We ARE
glad to see our people are taking so
much interest toward improving
their poor stock.

A New class OF Roses.

The year 1879 has given us in the
roses raised by Mr.. Bennett, a new
class which is likely to create greater
intert st than any roses, perhaps, which
have ever been brought before the
public. l do not mean that they will
supplant the classes already known,
or that they will prove of greater
value than those we have. This may
come to pass, in a measure, at least /;
but as those hybrid teas of Mr.. Ben
nett have only been partially tested,
and that in England on'y, their def
nite.position and value is yet improved.
They are, however, all pedigree roses,
and any one in examining their parent
age, must conclude that very desirable
varieties are likely to be had from such
crosses.
In 1857 there was sent out by Mons.
j. b. Guillot, of Lyons, France, rose
which is the sweet st, and probably
the most popular Of any rose grown.
This sort came up IN a mixed bed of
seedlings sOwn from the pods of
various tea roses, 4. 1t was soon re-
marked that this variety differed from
the teas in the same bed, though evil
IDENTIFY having a strong infusion of tea
blood; it was named La France, class
ed among the remOntant roses, and
soon proved itself worthy Of nation
al name. Though chance seeding,
its pareatage unknown, II is the head
of that class Of roses now known rs
hybrid tea.
Mr.. Bennett has adopted the course
of manual Foundation with roses, fer
tilizing different tea roses by several
varieties Of the hybrid perpetual the
parentage Of all his seedlings Is there
lore known, and adds greatly 10 the
interest Of the result.
The parent plant Of the roses sent
out by him in 1879 were the teas Alba

Culture of Onions.

Forty years ago it took twenty-five
men and four teams to sow an acre OF
onions; now two men, a boy and one
horse in two days will do the same work
in much better manner. The great
difference is in fitting the soil. For
merly we put on a very heavy coat OF
manure in the fall and plowed it I'M
der six or eight inches. In the spring
we plowed and cross-plowed to mix
the whole mass, making load of
Jumps for every load of earth. Now
we do not pillow in the spring, but let
frost do the pulverizing, and only mix
the manure with two or three inches
of the surface, taking less than one
quarter to produce the same. For the
last ten years my practice has never
failed. l pillow the land just before
winter, not deep, (say four inches),
and if the land Is not level | pillow
across, so the rains will not run down
the burrows and wash off the soil. In
winter, or at any time when the ground
freezes and before it thaws in the
spring, l put on a light covering of
fine barnyard manure, spread evenly
over the land. In the spring, after
few dry days Tor the first day it is dry
enough), l let boy with horse and
cultivator go across the burrows, pull
verizing and leveling the ground in a
strip two rods wide. We then go over
with a light harrow; after this we
use a pulverizer. This is made of
four planks Al feet long and 16
inches wide. / bolt the first plank
on two cross-pieces at the back
and raise the back side two inches, or
the thickness Of the plank. / then
put on the next plank and lap it
over the first far enough to put bolt
through both and through the cross
piece. In the same manner | put ON
the four planks.
This is drawn over a few times, and
will break the Jumps and level the
surface, which will save most Of labor
of raking. After this one man with
rake will level and make the surface
smooth. A man with drill will SOW
in rows, IA or is inches apart, as fast
as the land is prepared. When the
onions are up so the rows can be seen,
we goover with hand cultivators, and
when the weeds appear in the rows,
we go over with hoe and keep clear
of weeds. Success cannot be expected
unless this is done.
Plow the land late in the fall and
you will destroy the cutworms. Sow
the onions early and the onions will
all "bottom," and there will be no
"scullions," as they are called, which
are merely unripe onions.-W. r. in

An Illinois farmer, writing 10 the
Country Gentleman, gives some excel
lent hints relative to the production Of
this crop: 1t seems TO me that the
main thing to be observed In the
growth Of large yield Of corn ID having
/ the ground often and finely pulver-
lied. The soil may be rich naturally,
OF made by fertilizers vet II poorly
worked, or II the cultivation Is not
done In the right time, the crop will
ever be light. Quite too many farm
ers are apt to plant too many acres OF
corn, when they should try how many
bushels they can raise per acre with
careful culture, by doing all the work
in the right time and In the best man
ner. The prevailing practice now Is,
on our prairie soils, to harrow finely
before marking out. IL lumpy we
roll and harrow again, so that fine
mellow seed bed may be prepared.
Then we harrow as soon as possible
after planting. In this way the weeds
about the hills are killed. When q
few inches high we harrow again by
going crosswise. Even If six or eight
inches high no harm is done, as the
stalk, if bent over, soon straightens
up. The after cultivation Is done with
| the walking cultivators. For the first
working of the soil the blades turn
the earth from the hills. The first
time over the field is done by working
the same way the rows were planted,
allowing the cultivator blades to go
very close to the hills. The hills are
not at all times directly in squares,
hence requiring more care in the cross
cultivation the first time. In the
second and third time of cultivation
the front blades throw the earth into
the hills, thus smotherlng the weeds
| if any. Level culture is the best.
The sulky or riding cultivators that
attracted 80 much attention q few
years ago, are now being laid aside.
| The great trouble was in not working
sufficiently close to the hills when the
corn was small, and the rider could
not at all times guide them in way
to do good job. When the ground
is free from sods and Jumps, and there
is little danger from weeds, by drilling
the corn greater yield can be obtain
ed. One kernel in ten OF twelve inches
is evidently better than three or four
kernels close togethers in one hill.
To make the cultivation perfect in
drilled rows a hoe is needed to dispose
of the few weeds that the cultivator
fails to destroy. But as a general
thing the check row planting is the
safest, as the hills can be attended on
all sides. We use no fertilizers on our
corn fields. Our practice is to put our
barnyard manure (and we don't save
half of it) on our meadows and pas

In the breeding and management
Of poultry for profit the French sur
pass all other nations in the world.
Thepe are two reasons for this First,
the small properties or holdings
owned by the peasantry; and second,
a quick eye TO economy and profit in
producing food supplies. The English
manage differently. and instead Of
poultry, they raise beef, mutton and
pork, and buy many millions Of eggs
and fowls from their neighbors every
year. Strange as it may seem, there
II more food raised in the poultry
yards Of France than I'm the stalls aid
pastures Of England. There are very
few great estates as IN England, and
the land IL divided up into small

90 these very small holdings there is
not room enough 20 raise cattle, swine
and sheep for their flesh. Hence a

During the week, there have been 9
great many tomatoes shipped to the
Chicago market. There have been SC
many people in Chicago that every
thing has been selling very well.
Most Of the tomatoes shipped have
netted nearly six dollars per bushel.
Good tomatoes are paying finely; but
then II takes a great deal of skill and
attention to have them into market
early enough. They have to run the
gauntlet of frosts, rot, worms, dry
weather and everything else, and
ought to pay the grower something
for his extra trouble and attention.
Good plums also have been bring
ing very fine price-$2 90 for one
third bushel boxes. 1t is only good
that pays. The Chickasaw and Wild
Goose are the best varieties.
Some poor, knotty, hard-looking
peaches have been shipped to New Or
leans, and are selling for 50 so for one
third bushel boxes, from Georgia even,
in the same market, they sell for So 90
for one-third bushel boxes. For few
peaches, New Orleans is the bestm
ket in the world-even better than
the larger western markets ; but they
can't handle very many at one time,
and 40 soon "a thew 90 in too large
quantities, prices decline accordingly.
Irish potatoes are also being shipped
quite largely in barrels to the Chicago
market; as they go by freight, the
shipper is bound to make something,
prices are not as remunera
tive as they were last year.
The peach crop will be very short
one, but prices will be very high, and
those who are fortunate to have a good
crop will be well remunerated.

A ton of meal contains thirty-eight
pounds Of potash and fifiy-six pounds
of phosphoric acid, with seventy-eight
pounds nitrogen it is thus rich
enough in these elements to be useful
as manure, for which purpose, indeed,
it is extensively used in the South.
But being so rich food, it cannot be
given to animals except in small
quite enough for q COW that is milk
ing calf should not have more than
two to four ounces pigs will not thrive
on it at all, as it is too rich for them
except when given in small quantities
mixed with bran, Stops or cut roots.
Horses do well on it, if given two
pounds daily with corn meal | think
two pounds of it equal to ten pounds
of oats. But if fed too abundantly,
the bowels are made very costive and
the kidneys are affected. This is
doubtless on account of its highly
heterogeneous nature, as the waste
nitrogen is eliminated from the system
through the kidneys, and they are too
actively excited by very rich food.
The next i'll effect is an infiamatory
condition of the system, and in COWS
there is danger of garget, and horses
suffer from Irritation of the skin, sore
mouth and hide-bound. 1t is as
though man were fed on extract of
beef, rich pastry and such food only !;
when he would soon be in the DOCTORS
or undertaker's hands. Wher used
judiciously and with a knowledge of
its character and value, it is the
cheapest and one of the most useful
foods we have, Rich in nitrogen and
oil, it should be used with food rich in
starch, as potatoes and roots. One
pound Of cotton seed meal mixed with
half peck of boiled potatoes and
mashed together, would make good
feed for fattening pig or a milking
COW, but the pig should have corn or
bran for the second daily feed. One
pound of cotton seed meal 1 consider
equal to two pounds of corn meal. If

How 10 use Cotton seed Meal



AS the use of cotton seed meal for
feeding is to be encouraged, l wish to
reply in this general way to an inquiry
made by one of your readers as to the
best methods of using it. Like all
very rich foods, it requires to be fed
cautiously; but its character is such
that it comes in most usefully at near
ly all seasons, but especially when
COWS are fed on grass or with roots.
With good grass or green crops, and
plenty of roots for winter, l would
desire no other concentrated food than
cotton seed meal, but when dry fodder
only, is given, it cannot be used alone
safely. This meal is the cake lett
from the hulled cotton seed which has
been pressed between the hot iron
plates to exclude the oil. The cake is
ground into meal, and is of a bright
yellow color and sweet nutty flavor.
1t contains ten to twenty per cent. OF
oil, which has not been pressed out,
and very large portion of albumen
and other heterogeneous matter. Chem
ically its costituents may be given as

Parsian Whims and Oddities.

The passion for hanging a vast
uusntityof fanciful objects to pendant
chains about the waist has 50 gained
ground that they now hang, in Par
is and London, chains on both sides,
and from these hang a greater num-
Der of odd objects than ever before.
An eccentric lady startled the guests
at a reception by recently appearing
with what appeared to be the skull
of an infant pendant from her chate-
laine. It turned out to be that Of
her pet monkey, properly polished
and furnished with small crystal eyes.
Another lady of fashion wears a gold
box, in which she has q small powder
puff and little rice powder, also a
small mirror. One of her whims is
to use these to arrange her complex
ion before folks. The fashionable
ladies of Paris are also overwhelm-
ing a young italian artist with or
ders for Roman heads, which he
carves ezquisitely and wonderfully

whim of the hour, and the sculptor
receives enormous prices for these
tiny heads, and it is said no emerald
