Why Raise sheep!

Because il will pay. That is to say;
A farm of given size can be stocked
with sheep for less money than will be
required if cattle, horses or hogs are
employed. Sheep will come nearer
utilizing everything that grows on the
farm than either or ali the above
named animals. Less labor will be
required for getting feed and stock to-
gether. The returns will come in
sooner Except with hogs) and oftener
than from any other farm stock. Less
money is required for fencing and
shelter when these are supplied; and
less labor is involved in herding. where
outside pasture is accessible and pre-
ferred. Add to these the further fact
that a handsome income on the invest
ment can be had without the sale of the
animals themselves, and one has the
reasons why every farmer not excep-
tionally situated should have a flock of
sheep suited to his surroundings

What ia Glucose

An eastern agricultural journal in an
sweling the question says: The establish
ment of several factories and the great
profits in its production lead tothis inquiry.
The cost Of . factory may be anywhere from
$4,000 to $500, 000.. One costing $780,
600 should use 1000 bushels df corn a day,
and the production of glucose should be
simply enormous, for the greater portion of
the corn is saved. There is no process by
which glucose and starch may both be OBJ
tanned, but either may be, though there is
greater weight of refuse in starch making
than in glucose making. The process of
making glucose is to grind the corn and
soak it in pure water. It, is then passed
through rollers ito extract all the moisture
and starch. The extract is then boiled and
after it is purified it becomes, according to
the treatment, either syrup or glucose
hard, waxy substance nearly as sweet as
sugar. The refuse corn is sold for feed.

one ounce of Iceland moss in. one pint OF
boiling milk; boil one ounce OF chocolate

| water; thoroughly mix the two, and give it
to the invalid night and morning. This is
highly nutritive drink for invalids.

tripe into pieces from three to four inches
wide; rub little oil or melted butter over
them, dredge them in flour, and broil over
a charcoal fire; squeeze little. lemon Juice
over each piece, and serve. Never broil
tripe over hard coal fire; the gases arising
from the coal spoil the flavor of the tripe,
making it indigestible and unpa]atable. %%" -

Points in Curing Meats for Home Use.
From Farm and Fireside.
There is a growing demand for country
cured hams and bacon by those who have
ample means to pay the highest price for
what they desire to- consume. AS the de-
mand for '1gilt edged" butter is gradually
increasing in greater ratio than the popu-
lation, it is safe to infer that there is to be
money made in selling fancy pork, prop
erly cured and delivered by special contract
to hotels, restaurants, and private families
who are willing to pay an extra price for it,
rather than depend upon procuring it in the
ordinary markets. These remarks will ap-
ply not only to pork, mutton, and poultry,
but in some degree to beef also,
AS to the best time to kill the hogs, set
tied weather, when the wind is west or
northwest, is preferable. If any people are
skeptical in regard to killing; their hogs
when the moon is on the decrease, so that
the pork will s'shrink" when it is being boil.
ed, the safest way will be to keep up
steady growth from weaving time to killing
time; for if this is not done, and they are
fattened rapidly during the. two or three
months preceding the killing, and are de-
MED exercise, the flesh will be more OF less
