About Washing Sheen.

70
The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Globe says: "American wool
growers and wooden manufacturers have
long been atSwara on the qnestion of
Washing. n The growers say it is a cru
city to both men and animals to require
washing, and it,is noticed that the sheep
fall off very materially, even 50 far south
as Ohio, where the streams are usually
very cold up to shearing time. Mr.. Nc
Kellar told how they wash in Australia
and New Zealand. They construct large
dips in which the water is warmed and
kept up to a temperature of about 100
degrees Fahrenheit. Benches of, bat
tens are made just above the Surface of
the vat upon which the sheep is held for
washing, The fleece is thoroughly lath-
cred, about 100 pounds Of soap being
used for 1000 sheep. After fathering,
the sheep is removed to another table
beneath spout through which clear
water pours, with the. force created by a
powerful pressure above. The water is
led down in iron pipes to a sort of
trough, about the length of sheep.
The lower edge of this trough is split,
theopenipgo f Which can bel reghlated
by screws to any required width. Upon
table beneath this, spout the sheep are
held and turned till thoroughly washed,
when they are released and run into
clean paddock of English grass, with
fleece as white as the driven snow. To.
days washed are moved up one pad
dock; to-morrow's wash take their place,
and so on for six days after the washing
and before the shearing. On the sixth
day after the washing the sheep
are taken into a shed, where, some.
times, thousands are found at time for
shearing. As they are shorn, the fieeces
are graded, the bellies, TANKS and ends
being separated and thrown into screw
presses, where they are baled for the

Reform in WOman's Dress.

A meeting was held last week at Der.
lin with the view of forming League
for the abolition of the present female
dress. There were present twenty-five
women. .a4
The lady who presided explained that
the movement was to abolish all I'M
healthy and announcement articles of
woman's dress, and to replace them by
Z" a dualistic form of attire for the lower
as well as the upper limbs"
The supporters of the movement de-
sired that no more should be heard of
long skirts and such fashionable "trip
perry. They wanted to wear trousers,
because in them alone they had a form
of dress worthy of the human race.
Only one person spoke in defense of
the old costume, on the ground that
flowing robes are more graceful than
tight-ftting garments, but her voice
was drowned in a storm of opposition,
and the antirpetticoat resolution was
carried almost unanimously Vienna

An Alleged Mountain Of Solid Silver.

a schooner sailed yesterday from this
port In search of the silver mountain in
Alaska. The Chronicle several months
ago published story of the discovery
Q. sIiyer mountain of great value on
FISH River. Alaska. 1t was regarded
by many as an ingenious fiction, but the
facts We're gained from Capt. Gallagher,
VINO Is TO command the expedition, and
are corroborated by the first mate,
Ryan, who was with him. Briefly stat
ed' the facts are as follows: When last
season IN the neighborhood of Behring
STRAITS the Captain ran his vessel up
lnto flsh river to get a supply of fresh
wafer. The natives came from the
shore to trade, and induced the Captain
anu Niate Ryan to go with the boats
crew twenty miles up the river to their
home N, where there was plenty of water.
Inc country was, rough and sterile.
some OF the natives had pieces of ore.
Inc captain examined them, but could
not tell the nature of the mineral. He
and the mate went to the top of neigh
boring hill. There, in what seemed the
crater OF an extinct volcano, they found
the rock from which the natives OBJ
tanned their specimens. 1t cut like lead
or silver, and Ryan dug down for six
feet and found a bed of ore apparently
inexShaustible. Some specimens brought
to San Francisco and analysed were
found to yield $4,000 in silver to the
ton, while none gave less than $4,000.
The report of this rich find was di-
vulged to few friends, and prospect
ing'party was made up, consisting of
several practical mining men of Oak
land. Ten joined the party, and the
schooner R. B. Marsh chartered for
the trip. She is provisioned for six
months and loaded with tools and min
ing machinery. 1t is expected she will
make the trip in about twenty-five days.
The crew consists of six men. The in
tention is to fill the vessel with high
grade silver ore and bring it down to
this city.-San Francisco Chronicle.

A run in the pasture at night will be

Farmers should put back to the
ground every year as much as they take
from it.
Pigs profit by good run on clover
or fresh grass. When slaughtered, they
should weigh pound for each day they

At this season of the year, do not let

Feed hay, or, what is better and cheaper,
fodder-corn, and provide an abundance
of pure, fresh water and shade from
midday sun.
Watch your colts he offs, and see thew

Bone dust is good dressing for

manure is often an eye-sore unless very

Green corn, as soon as the grain be-
gins to harden, is the very best fattening
food available to the general farmer for
feeding swine. The pigs eat it with a
peculiar relish, and will grow and fatten
npon it with surprising rapidity. No
food is equal to this for putting pigs in
good "show condition" for tho Fairs.
We see it stated. that Mr. Oliver
Beirne of Monroe county, West Virginia,

To give hogs plenty of muscle, let
them have all the exercise they will
take in ten-acre lot. Fat, which does
not go far as food, comes from abun-
dant food and little or no exercise.
Lardy hogs are not generally as popular
as they once were. An abundance of
corn is not desirable to make lean and
well-grown hogs for food.
To kill bushes along fences and else
where, where not wanted, cut them
down often during the growing season.
The cutting back then seems to be more
effectual than at other times. Nothing
makes farm look worse than to see
pushes growing along fences and in
,tber places. !
