How to Shear Sheep.

I see an inquiry about how to shear sheep, and as am an experienced sheep shearer, will give my way. Take piece of oil. cloth about six feet square and tack the sides down on the floor loose enough to permit sufficient amount of cut hay, or even straw, to be stuffed under it, to make a cushion. then tack the fourth side down, This makes nice, clean, soft place to shear on. Provide yourself with good, bright. highly polished pair of offset shears, that is, shear that the blades set down from the hand hold.
 Set the sheep up with it's belly toward you, then commence at the foretop and shear down around the head and neck. and strip one shoulder then turn and shear down the other shoulder. and side, and belly, and one hind leg all along to the backbone; then turn over and shear down the other side, keeping the sheep in sitting position most of the time. In turning the sheep let the head hang over one knee, and then the other, in easy position for sheep and shearer. When you want the hind leg strengthened out, do not take hold of the leg with your hand, but put your thumb on the stife joint, as it is called in horses, and press back; the leg will straighten out smooth, and the sheep will hold still i; but if you take hold of the leg and undertake to pull it out straight, the sheep will kick and strug- gle. Keep the sheep in such position that the skin will be tight all the time where you are shearing; do not pull the wool down, as that pulls the skin up, and you will cut 1t, but pull the skin up tight and bend the sheep so the surface you are shearing over will be as smooth as possible. Never tie sheep, and do not use any violence toward them. When you catch sheep take hold around the body, do not catch hold of the wool on the back and drag them to the place of shearing; of course this way will be new to many, and you will think at first that it will be almost i'm possible to shear this way, but stick to the directions given here, and in a short time you will become an expert if you can ever learn. Some men can never learn to be fast shearers. I can shear a pound of wool 8 minute off good sheep.- Cor. Rural World.

Our Export Trade.

The latest statistics issued by the governmental the exports of breadstuffs for the month of April and for the four months ending April 30 show a heavy falling off as compared with the corre- spending periods of last year. The exact figures for April, 1881, were $2O,- 421, ,008. This sum dwindles this year to $9,S35, ,205, or less than one half. During the four months ending with April, 1881, we exported breadstuffs to the value of $71, ,570, 621; the returns for this year are only $2O, 421 ,OOs. The decline is to be attributed to various causes. The speculation in grain which has been going on here for so many months has had the effect of unsettline prices abroad and of making conserva- tive merchants timid. Another reason is that Europe is beginning to look for its supplies to Southern Russia and Asia, where the offer is usually large. If the gambling spirit, however, did not prevail to such a disastrous extent the account against us would not be as bad as it is.

An Extraordinary Story.

A correspondent in the west of Eng land writes to the PaU MaU Gazette ::
 A remarkable affair is reported from a fashionable seaside town in the west.
 About eighteen months ago a respect able artisan lost his wife, and being left
 with several children he advertised for
 a housekeeper. He received reply from "widow," and after negotiations
 by letter they came to terms. She re.
 presented that she had been left
 e3,OOO, but being desirous of continu- ing in service she had accepted the present situation. In few weeks she
 became her employers wife, the s3, 900 proving tempting bait. In the course of short time ''gentleman who was going abroad called on the family. He wished, as an old friend of the lady, to give her present before leaving Eng land, and was he accordingly represented as having deposited 1,8OO in local
 bank to her account. Up to this time the parties had been living in respect able terrace, but the lady now objected to ''terraoe," and 8 villa was taken. In short time she expressed desire to purchase the vil'a-''they might as we'll become their own landlord and negotiations were accordingly com menced and the work of laying out a carriage drive, building stables, etc.,
 was also begun. All this time letters and "documents" were coming and go- ing from the house. Before, however, the deposit for the villa was paid the husband was anxious to have the legal control of the fortune" made over to him, as had been arranged, but the wife urged various excuses. Meantime creditor met at the house solicitor who had been engaged by the wife to draw up the necessary documents"
 anI the result was visit of the legal gentleman to town some miles off to see a Colonel represented by the lady as one of her trustees. No such person, however, could be found, and on subsequent visit to the Probate Court of the county town to in- spect the wills of both her father and late husband, who were stated to have been clergymen of the county, no trace of any such wills could be found. The lady, finding that inquiries were beng made, absconded, and the husband soon that she had run him into debt to the amount of 97O. The poor man who had given up his employment soon after his marriage, in view of the ''fortune," is thus ruined, and much sympathy is felt for him. The woman is suspected to be the same person who a few years ago, in seaside resort in the same county, took large house, furnished it elaborately as lodging house, and after living in the best of style for time and making away with some of the furniture, suddenly disappeared.

Cavalry Experts.

In private letter to General Carna- han, of Indianapolis, the American Min ister at Constantinople describes a won derful exhibition of horsemanship, which he recently witnessed. General Wallace writes "I was invited few days ago by the Sultan to go with him and witness 0 drill of his household troops. The old 11th could beat his infantry, but the performance of h1s Circassian cavalry was something ex- traordinary. As sample: Four com panies magniGcently mounted were in line. bugal call, and the right com pany dashed through to the front full speed. Another call, there was beau tlful feat. Each man reached out with Is right hand, caught the rein close to the bit, pulled hard, and threw his horse flat on it's left side, dismounting as 1t we..t down. Then, on the ground hehind the horse he began firing as & a sklrmisher. A third call, the com pany rose up with their horses, and re- treated at full speed, reforming as they went. As had never even heard of such thing, you can imagine my as- tonishment." .:.

How to Set Crafts.

The season for grating may be said to be from the 1st of April to June, the time when the forces of nature are i'm. polling the upward flow of sap in the tree. An expert says in the German town Telegraph:
 "We have set gratis the last day of May with as much success as at any other time. and we have known of grating being done up to the 2Oth of June. When understood-an 1t ought to be an easy thing to learn-any one can do his own grafting. Yet due care must be taken in all the details to insure growing.
 "Stocks or limbs to be grafted, not over two inches in diameter, should be cut off at the distance of four inches. A fine saw should be used. Incline the saw so that the stump will shed the rain. The bark must be uniniured. With 8 sharp knife smooth off the sawed stump. Take case knife, which is as good as any, place it across the heart of the stock, and force it down with wooden mallet. We use a very narrow screwdriver for keeping open the split. Shape the scion wedge fash ion both ways, keeping the bark intact. We make a shoulder as far up as the scion is shaved it is not so strong, but better insures growth. The inside of the bark of both scion and stock must meet or cross, in order that the sap of the two may commingle. Set the scion at slight angle spreading from each other. When the stock is small and only one scion inserted, place piece of wood on the opposite side of corre- spending thickness. If the split does not close up sufficiently, tie round cotton string to keep it tight upon the graft. Cover with wax every part of the cut wood and slit. Iu three weeks time go over the gratis and rewax if needed. It is air and rain getting in that destroy. Where the limb to be grafted is from two to four inches over, it should be cut say six inches from the tree, and from four to six scions may be inserted"
