HOME AND FARM.


Keep sheep dry under foot. This is
even more necessary than roofing them.
Never let sheep stand or lie In mud and
water.
Trees that are mulched are al
wavs in danger of being injured, during
winter, by mice, if no efforts are made
to prevent them; so are trees that are
surrounded by grass and weeds.
To Color Switch-Boil it in strong
tea-cheap-in which put six rusty
nails. When quite dry drop a little
pure glycerine between your palms and
gently stroke down the switch.
--Doughnuts take two cupfuls of
sour milk, two cupfuls of sugar, three
eggs, two teaspoonfuls of soda, two ts,
bIespoonfuls of melted lard; add flour
till stiff enough to roll out.
-Souse-Clean pigs feet and ears
thoroughly, and soak them number
of days in salt and water; boil them
tender, pour boiling vinegar over them,
and spice to your taste. They are good
fried, and will keep all winter.
The number of living horned cat
tie exported, chiefly to England in the
year ending June 80. 1881, was 185, ,707,
valued at $14,304, 1903; being an excess
over the previous year of 1851 in num-
Der and $959,90 in value, and almost
Sc, 100000 in value above the year 1879.
-Stewed carrots are far more nour-
than is generally known, and they

Scrape the roots, chop into small
pieces, and stew in water until very

with cream added-and in various 9TH

-Mince-meat. till very tender
good quality of lean beef, and when cold
mince very fine. To one quart of the
chopped meat, add half this quantity of
chopped suet, three pints of chopped
apples, one pound of raisins, two pounds
of currants, one nutmeg, one tablespoon
full of cloves, cinnamon and allspice to
taste, one teaspoonful of salt, one tea
spoonful of pepper, one quart of cider,
and one pound of sugar. Mix the ap-
pies, meat and suet together; boil the
other ingredients, and pour the hot
liquid over the mixture.
The Hampshire sheep is a large
bodied, short-wooled, black-faced sheep,
hardy, prolific, and easily kept. It is,
no doubt, preferable to the Cotswold
for mutton, having better meat and
more like the Southdown in quality and
flavor, this excellence being derived
from the share of Southdown blood
which it possesses. But any sheep of
English breeding will deteriorate in this
country unless the English method of
feeding is pursued. This consists main
ly of pasturing upon luxuriant grass and
sowed green crops in the summer, and in
feeding upon turnips, rutabagas, or
mangels, with grain and oil-cakes, and
hay and straw in the winter. Here
some persons take these sheep and pas
ture them upon light, weedy meadow,
without shade, in the summer, and give
them only hay in the winter, and seem
to be surprised that their pet sheep, pur-
chased in fine condition at high price,
do not keep up to their first estate. The
sheep is not to blame, but the manage

most Internal traps for wolves ever de-
vised. He covered two keen blades
with blood and set them in the ice. In
licking them the wolves would cut their
tongues, but the cold would prevent
their feeling it. Allured by the taste of
blood, they would continue slicing their
tongues until they bled to death, or died
from the mutilation. The other trap
consisted of long strips of whalebone
rolled together, bound with sinew and
hidden in frozen meat, which after pass
ing into the animals stomachs would
thaw, release the whalebone and kill the
wolves.

How to Obtain Eggs in White.

EDS. COUNTRY GENTLEMAN-In or.
der to get plentiful supply of eggs in
winter, we must have young hens; pull.
lets Matched in April or May will prove
the most satisfactory. The hens must
be we'll cared for; have a comfortably
warm house, kept clean and we'll ar
ranged. Provide a plentiful supply of
fresh water, accessible at all times.
Variety and plenty of foods absolutely
necessary. Feed regularly what the
hens will eat without wasting. l find
wheat or screenings the best for the
principal feed; corn, oatsand buckwheat
come in as variety. Corn meal, mid
dlings, or somethsng of the sort, mixed
stiff and warm, should be fed first in
the morning, but give no soft food,
after midday. Whole grain should be
the feed after the mornings meal. Dry
grain is best to feed the hens crop with
at night. Fresh meat in some form
should be fed daily, lard or tallow
(chandler's) scraps are good. Scraps
broken up, soaked over night and mix :
ed with meal and bran, make good
occasional feed mornings. Vegetable
food is also necessary. Carrots, turn
fps, boiled potatoes and cabbage are all
good. Oyster and clam shells, broken
fine, lime or lime mortar, fine gravel,
coal and ashes should be supplied to
hens when confined. They need a
light sprinklipg of red pepper in their
soft food once week or oftener in quite
cold weather. Chopped hay should be
supplied to them occasionally. Have
box of sand or ashes where they can
use it at pleasure. Any bones, burned
or broken fine, or other warm scraps
from the table, are always acceptable
to the hens.
Having adopted a system of feeding
pursue it steadily, or, when changing
do it gradually; never make sudden
changes, as it always unfavorably affects
the supply ofeggs. Keep the hens from
being worried or excited through fear
of boisterous boys, dogs, &c, The more
quite the hens are kept the greater the
number of eggs supplied. The hens
should be bred from chicks with the
view of egg-production, always keeping
them growing by good care till they at
tain mature growth. Let no one who
has neglected his hens, or feeds spas
medically, expect full supply of eggs
Immediately after commencing a syste-
matte course of feeding. It,often takes
weeksand monthyto putneglected hens
into condition to be good layers. w.

Write Plainly.

Strange as 1t may seem to the unini-
tiated, it is nevertheless fact that an
essay or story does not appear the
same in manuscript as in print. Every
editor knows this by painful experience
and so does the writer of the following
extract from the Boston Herald;
The rejection of the manuscript of an
unfamiliar author is perhaps oftener on
account of illegible handwriting than
of lack of merit There is no greater
torture for an editor than to have to at
tempt to decipher a bad manuscript, and
the sense, especially of a poem, is
frequently entirety lost in the tangled
mass of wretched penmanship.
Sir Francis Jeffrey knew 50 well the
difficulty of forming a correct judgment
of an article bya reading in manuscript
that when he sent in his first article af-
ter he arrived from the Edinburgh
RevieoO, he had an understanding with
Napier, his successor, that it should not
be read until it appeared in the proof
A few years ago, the editor of the
Saturday Review was accustomed to
have every article which appeard as if
it might be worthy acceptance put in.
to type before deciding upon it, for as
Charles Lamb says, there is no such
raw and unsatisfactory reading as an
article in manuscript.
Even authors of wide experience,
like Thomas Moore and Macauly, were
seldom able to form a judgment of
their own works until they had seen
how they looked in print.

A WOman'S Nerve.

Early on Tuesday morning Mrs.
David Conhaim was aroused from sleep
by a burglars stealthy step. She
could hear the burglar moving along
on his hands and knees from the dining
room to the bed room, and at each step
something struck the floor which she
believed to be either billy or revolt

that the time for action had arrived.
She left her bed, walked to bureau
in one corner OF the room, wherein a
loaded revolver was kept, and in doing
so must have passed within a few feet
of the crouching burglar. After gain
ing possession of the revolver, she en-
tered the dining room just as the burg
lar had passed out into the porch,
where he was found standing on the
step with most of the stolen clothing
under one arm and the vest held in his
right hand. This brought them with

brave lady covered the theft with the
weapon and exclaimed;
Drop the cloths or l fire."
The response came in the shape of a
blow over the head and face with the
vest held in the burglars hand, he evil
IDENTITY intending to blind her or knock
her down with the heavy gold watch
in the pocket. Luckily, however, the
watch flew out Of the pocket, and, as
Mrs. Contain threw her hand up to
ward off the blow, the chain struck be-
tween her fingers close to the watch.
Instantly she closed her hand over the
timepiece, gave jerk backward,
which broke the chain, whereupou the
burglar, with fierce oath, threw the
vest at her face, unconscious of the fact
that the sum of $50 in currency had
been left undisturbed in one of the peck,

The burglar then started toward
