Eatisaing sheep.
Sheep picked out for the butcher
should be fed generously and regularly,
and upon this point too much stress cam
not be laid. Care should be taken,
however, to give the sheep only just
enough for one meal at each feeding
time. If they are given superabund-
ance Of hay they soon. learn to be par
ticular in selecting the best part only,
and if there Is not enough of this at one
feeding time, they win wait half hungry
for the next. My own experience agrees
with that of most successful sheep
owners, that fattening cattle should be
fed three times day, though some Of
my neighbors think twice often enough.
1t is also very important that the sheep
should not be allowed to suffer for want
of water; neither should they lack .
supply of salt, for although salt is not 30
necessary to them in the winter as In
the summer, still they win thrive better
if it is fed to them at least once week
all the season.-Ezchange.
The Flower Garden.
Most flower seeds are'good for more
than one yea1. Asters, stocks and some
other sorts are worthless the second
season. OF large number Of varieties
portion will germinate the second
year, but not very high percentage
such as phlox, verbena and many Others.
sssds saved in a favorable season an
properly dried will, Of course, remain
good longer than those saved in an nm
favorable year, or carelessly cured eAs
rule round seeds are good longer than
thin, fiat ones, and many of the smallest
are good as long as any. Old balsam
seeds are generally acknowledged to be
better than new. Last summer, in the
garden of an old German lady, ! saw
some flowers from seeds brought from
the old country sixteen years before,
She had petunias, portulaca and gourds

Bono Meai for Pastures.
Bone meal is an excellent fertilizer
for pastures. In England it is largely
used, particularly where they raise
horses either for the race course or for
the hunting field. The bone meal is
sown on the grass while either wet with
dew or rain. The young horses, no
doubt, eat some of it with the grass,
while the balance works to the roots OF
the plants, and to a certain extent IN
creases the percentage Of phosphate of
lime in the grass, thus giving more
bone material for the horse.

Currant Worms. -
NIB. Bateham, of Ohio, says he de-
stroyed currant worms by the following
application: Having no soft-soap on
hand, we took about one-fourth OF q
pound of hard soap, cut in slices and
dissolved in warm water, then stirred
in an ounce OF crude carboic acid Cost
ing dime), and stirred the whole into
half a pailful of water. With this
LIQUID we sprinkled the bushes, using
whisk broom, so as to wet all the worms
visible. Scarce a live one could be
found the next day.
| Tho Finest Manure.
The finest manure is made by turning
the heap over twice. To do this, begin
at each end of the pile. and throw OF
the manure to distance Of three feet,
building up the new heaps, and placing
the coarsest manure in the center. Them
proceed until two heaps are made.t
These will soon heat, and month or 80
afterward the process maybe reversed
and the two heaps made into one again.
Keep the Good Calves,
As the COWS come in. the best OF the
heifers may be selected for raising.
There can be no better way to improve
the stock of COWS than to use good bull
and keep the best calves, well feeding
