The Sheep 70 Breed.

A great difficulty in beginning
this business is to choose the kind.
One looks here and there, at this
breed and at that, and cannot make
up his mind which to choose. And
he is right to be cautious, because
the right sheep in the place only
will be profitable. But if he is in
this quandary he may very safely
choose a lot of good, thrifty native
ewes and a ram of any of the four
breeds mentioned below, which he
can procure most readily. The
Hampshire stands first, the Oxford
next, the Shropshire next, and the
Southdown last-that is, for profit.
All these are compactly built, solid,
heavy sheep, with good flesh, small
bones, saleable wool, and the lambs
are plump, hardy, fat, and Of good
size. And a good ram can be pur-
chased at reasonable price that
is, if the professional importer is
not sought after. These persons
put their figures too high for a
AeiA I'LL : Pun lOSC- LAC1C stAS siA-
ways those farmers who have
! bought a ram at a high figure and
will yet sell a lamb for little more
than the worth of the carcass. And
yet, if one has the means, he can
very well afford to pay as much as
/ $40 or even as much as $50 for a good
| pure-bred ram; the eve lambs will
pay the cost in one year, and the
male lambs which go to market will
pay for him a second time. Farmers
generally have learned the value OF
good stock, and know how it pays
to feed such animals. Pure breed
ing has proved its value to them,
and they are willing to pay extra
for the blood. And they are right,
and especially in regard to sheep,
because no animal is more quickly
impressed and improved by cross
with good blood than a sheep.
The foregoing from the columns
of an exchange may be regarded as
sound so far as those having small
t1ocks, and who are located near
cities, are concerned; but large
f1ocks in the west cannot utilize the
breeds named to advantage, but are
compelled to use MerinO rams.

The healing properties Of onions
have never been fully understood
Lung and liver complaints are Ger
tainly benefited, often cured, by a
free consumption of onions, cooked
or raw. Colds yield to them like
magic. Do not be s.fraid of them.
Taken at night all UFense viii be
gone in the morning. and the good
effects viii amply compensate for
the trihing annoyance. Taken
regularly, they promote the health
of the lungs and digestive organs.
An extract made by boiling down
the juice of onions to syrup and
taken as a medicine, answers the
purpose very well, but fried, roasted
or boiled onions are better. Onions
are Il very cheap medicine, within
the reach of everybody, and they
are not by any means as bad to
take as the costly nostrums a
neglect OF their use may necessitate.

At a depot on the border of Tex
Is, a few days ago, a scene was en-
acted by a wild, warm-hearted Tex
as girl. that stirred the latent sp irit
of humanity in many a closed soul
and no doubt kindled i fire that
win never grow dim. A crowd was
collected at the depot awaiting the
train. The weather was bad Three
times a poor, half-clad, delicate wo-
wan, with five little children, one an
infant, boarded the train. and as of
ten was put of-the conductor
obeying the law of the company as
tenderly as he could. The poor
creature, with her half-cIad, bare
footed dependents, gave up and sat
down, and found relief only in a
food of silent tears-her little ones
hanging around her, and her babe.
wrapped in Il piece Of old quilt, in
her lap.
Our Texas maiden, fired with
sympathy, and for the moment for
getting how to think or say any
thing hard about her unfortunate
fellow creatures, advanced TO the
poor, weeping, detected mother, and
kindly asked her the cause of all
her trouble and what she wanted.
The broken-hearted hungry, disap-
pointed, impoverished mother said
she married a young man of high
hopes and fair prospects. He took
to drink and brought them all to
poverty and want. He died and
left her and her little ones to starve.
She was trying TO get TO her father,
who could keep them from starving,

for a moment forgetting her own

TO the buZZing. indttentive crowd,
and taking I gentleman's hat she
said:

Girdlirr Fruit Trees,

| Col. Colman: In response to YOU
request to readers to give their ex
perience in tree girdling, let me
state, l have practiced it for twenty
years occasionally. The ancient
custom is referred to by Shakes
peare in one of his plays, in which
some character, a gardner, speaks o.
cutting and wounding the bark tc
produce fruit. June 18th is the
day, and the day before or after not
exceeding five or six days. You
may tear all the bark off an apple
tree, and off most others at that
time, yet not injure it, for a new
bark is Immediately supplied, as
microscopic examination viii attest
The reason is at that time SAP
that has mostly gone up at the call
of the trunk and limbs receives a
notification from the roots to come
down and aid them in their effort to
grow. 1t starts down through the
bark mostly. II then you cut
around any limb or branch and take
out the bark, the sap ceases to run
down. owing to the cauterizing pro-
cess that is set up. A surplus of
sap remains above to form fruit
buds for the next year. As this
upward and downward progress OF
sap takes place in August and per
haps again in September, of very
late warm seasons, the girdling can
be done again. An old fruit man
told me that if my theory was true,
he would try it on same date in Au-
gust, and it must succeed So he
girdled an old apple tree of thirty
years Of age in August with most
perfect success. though it had never
before borne an apple.
Now as to the policy of doing it.
| would advise no one to girdle a
tree around its trunk, because it sets
up a tremendous growth of limbs
below the girdled spot. COntine
your operations to branches. De
pend on it, that there will be an
abundance of bloom anywhere above
the girdled spot. Take off only the
bark; do not injure the wood
Cut clear through the bark to the
wood all around, then about one
eighth of an inch or less below, cut
around again and take out ring Of
bark If you have a limb that you
think of pruning, just girdIe it well
about June 18th, and get 4 big lot
of fruit from it. Trees not in the
habit of bearing can be gotten in
the habit by girdling just As other
uOn-bearers may by careful treat
ment. The sterile habit once
broken, fruitfulness ensues.
Again, respecting the caterpillar
of which some one so complains.
Fifteen years ago our orchards were
rendered almost worthless by them
for years. Then we noticed few
cat birds for the first time, tearing
into and destroying the worms
voraciously. In three years there
were no caterpillars- We have ever
since cultivated those charming
warblers miscalled cat birds-real
genuine Knockers as they are.

Hardening" the Body

a young man was an earnest adj
yOcate of theory that the human
body can accommodate itself to any
temperature in which it may be
placed. One winter he determined
to harden himself by wearing no
covering for his ears; they were
badly frozen on a very cold day,
and were tender for several years
after He grew wise, and aban-
doned the hardening process. y
young woman heard an eloquent
lecturer on the Importance of fresh
air in chambers at night The lee
turer said there was no danger from
a window slightly opened; the body
would soon harden itself so Is to re
sist the effect Of exposure. She
tried the experiment one cold night
and caught a cold which lasted the
entire winter. She lost her two
children by Group and pneumonia,
induced, as the physical said, 10y
insufficient clothing. She gave up
the attempt to harden the others.
The best way to harden the body
is TO protect it well from extremes
both of cold and heat, and build up
4 strong constitution by good food
good sleep and good exercise. The
Scotch Highlanders, with their bare
legs, are victims 10 rheumatism.
