AGRlCULlURE

IKE BREEDS. Farmers n have not
familiarized themselves with the breeds
OF sheep should bear in mind that they
are behind the buyers, who can tell at
q few moments examination exactly
what kind Of a sheep from which the
wool was SHARED and its fitness for the
purpose tor which it Is desired. The
bayers know the breeds, the kind of
wool peculiar TO each breed. and ali
about them, for it is business" A
farmer would sneer at a Carpenter who
protested to be a carpenter and vet who
could not do q piece OF work in that
line; and yet we venture 10 say there are
hundreds Of farmers who profess 10 be
farmers, and who would be iDsulted if
their know edge of their business was
questioned, but who, at the same time,
cannot tell as much about the products
OF The farm as many of those who know
nothing of farm lite. There are nun
dreds OF farmers who are not able to
distinguish breeds If sheep, and who do
not know the particular Purposes for
which q breed is most suitable. and still
they pride themselves on their calling
as a business which they intend to make
profitable. Ii such farmers could but
be brought to a realizatlon OF the fact
that they are really deficient in knowl-
edge, 1t would be to their interest to do
so. Every year we witness the ship
ment OF the products of the farm to
market where the buyer fixes the grade
although he has had no experience on
the farm. Farmers, as a class, are not
business-hke. for they rely too much
upon the Judgment Of others. It is not
Intended to imply that they should not
seek the advice OF others, but when the
farmer surrenders everything to hard
work. we insist that he should begin to
educate himself in every possible way in
order to improve his chances.

THE hog is very sensitive to cold, and
should be well sheltered when the sea-
on becomes severe. He will try to
keep warm by burrow1mg into his litter,
and when hogs are in large numbers
they will crowd together or upon a
other for the same purpose. This is in
curious, AZ It is opposed to a supply OF
pure air. The same journal also remarks
that potatoes should always be cooked
when fed to hogs.

How TO FERTILIZE FRUIT TREES
Here and there on all farms and in most
fruit gardens will be seen an occasional
tree or grapevine, which seems to lack
vigor-does not grow well, and yet
seems to have no particular disease.
The probabilities are that the tree is
dying OF starvation and needs a liberal
supply OF food. When you give it this
ration. do not pile q load of manure
around the trunk of the tree or the
body of q grapevine. This Is just the
place where 1t will do the least good.
Nearest the trunk of the tree, the roots
are all large. The fbrous roots-the
feeders, are further off heal the ends OF
the roots. These only can take up the
nutriment. 1t is always safe to assume
that the roots extend as far from the
trunk in every direction as do the limbs
OF the tree, and to properly fertilize,
spread the manure all over the area.
Then fork it in and you have done a
good r and doAs it well. If some
di ease has begun its work on the tree,
you will put the TIRE e lin u healthy, Wig
orous condition, the better enabling 1T
to successfully contend against its ere
mics. We have seen numerous old
pear and apple trees, bearing poor and
gnarled fruit, which the owners consid-

as w have outlined above would restore

&e is usually quite ~ well to have
cows calve in the fad, particularly where
milk and butter are more important than
the calf. With ensilage feeding, winter
will prove the best time for butter max
ing, and the sllo system will probably
be SO slow in coming into general use
that the price of butter may be high
for many years to come. The worst
season of all to have u COW calya is in
late spring or early summer. The first
flow OF milk then comes at a time when
it is least valuable, and costs more labor
and trouble to make into butter.

FEEDING HAY.-It is PROFESSIONALLY
true that u full feed OF hay to horses. fol
lowing the feeding OF concentrated
food, is wasteful, for the reason that it
crowds the first ont of the stomach be-
fore proper digestion has been accom-
plished. And SO, in order to secure the
best results, hay should be fed at first
and the concentrated food a~fterward.
which leaves it to become digested with
no danger of beng crowded away or
out of the performance OF its desired
PURPOSE.

OvERLADEN IFEURr 1REEs 1t is rule
in fruit culture hat a tree should not
carry any greater weight of fruit than
its branches car sustain. Still, with
some rapidly swelling fruits. peaches
and plums especially, however thor
onghly thinning may have be done,it is
often found as the iIsit ripcns that the
weight Is too great and the branches
unless they are supported, will break
down with the load OF fruit. The usual
method Of supporting over laden fruit
trees is to..place long stakes, with a fork
at the top, bel oath them. Amuch bet
ter and more simple method OF effectiog
the purpose is suggested by DIR. j. H..
Mease, OF Lebanon, Pa. Instead Of
using several stakes, one to each prin-
cipal branch, he places a single strong
pole against the trunk OF the tree. The
lower end of the pole. if desiied, may
be sunk a few inches III the soil for ad-
dltional support. but usually it will be
sufficient to secure it to the trunk by
means of straw bands or other ties that
will not bruise the bark. The pole be-
ing secured, the dropping branches ere
relieved by means of ties made fast to
1t. DIR. Mease states that this method
Of tying up The branches OF overloaded
trees is especially useful in storms, the
snpport being more central, and
natural than where several props are
used. @

SENSATIONAL WHITING.

Sensationalism has a fast hold on one of the
writers for the Express. Here is an extract
from his latest effusion, gotten off on the pre-
tence of imparting information of the doings
Of the man who dehed the police force night
before last :" He was as bold as a den of
African lonesses defending their cubs and
defed the police force, the whole world and
the rest of mankind. Ye Gods, but he was a
terror Ensconsed in his den or castle, if
you prefer, disheveled hair, sleeves rolled up
to keep the blood from spelling his immacu-
late white shirt, wild eyes cleaning like a
Gagged hyena, no mortal dared approach him
without furnishing fresh subject for the IN
dertaker. Rohmer drew a line, struck an
attitude. no doubt mentally exclaiming, Thus
far shalt thou come and no further lay on
McDuf, and damned be he who first cries
hold enough" That paragraph is really
too funny to be thrown away on the few read
erS of the Express.

GREAT INVENTION.
by Which Going Out Between Acts is Rem
dered Unnecessary.

by Which Going Out Between Acts is Rem
dered Unnecessary.
The St. Louis Evening Chronicle tells of an
invention by which rush for the door be-
tween acts at theatre is rendered unneces-
sary. To reporter OF that paper fiat glass
bottle, nearly circular shape, with a short
neck and a closely-fitting cork, was shown.
Through this cork ran rubber tube perhaps
tbree-sixteenth of an inch in thickness. 1t
was long tube, snowy white, and wound
about the little bottle gracefully. The bottle
was full at some liquid, but the sinuosities and
convolutions of the rubber tube prevented
any of the contents from escaping until the
tube was Strengthened out. The liquid was of
beautiful reddish color, and from the end OF
the tube, as it was raised TO the nostrils,
emenated subtle, fascinating perfume. In
another similar bottle the liquid had more OF
an amber hue, and the perfume was slightly
different, though not less seductive. The
| bottle contained about three drinks OF the
quantity usually taken by men who drink al
all. The contents of the bottles were said to
| be, in some cases, of a certain beverage
known as Cocktail" while those of lighter
hue were designated as punch" Those
who buy the invention get whatever liquid
they desire. Upon one side of the little bot.
tie was a little label, neatly printed, describ-
ing the contents as "opera and theater
drinks" On the reverse, blown into the
glass Of the bottle, was representation of the
face OF watch, and little legend to the ef-
tect that II was an 'early hour in the morn
ing" The bottle itself had very much the
shape OF watch, and was not much larger
than big watch Of an old English pattern.

THE NATIONAL LIBRARY.

Mr.. SpofFord, the intelligent and diligen'
librarian Of Congress, makes plaintive appeal
in his recent report for new library building
Mr.. Spofford informs the country that up
wards of 10000 volumes are now stored In
heaps in various rooms or placed in double
rows SO as to render access to them difficult or
impossible" We learn further that "the
aggregate collection in the library now number
4So o76 volumes, besides 100, 600 pamphlets.
By all means give Mr.. Spofford new
library building. But there is something IN
these disclosures more deserving OF the atten-
ton of Congress than is the prayer OF the
librarian. The first thing for Congress to do
is to cause to be extracted from the vast con-
plomeration of books, technically called a
library. such as deserve shelf-room, such as
are worth the leather or board in which they
are bound, such as curious bookworms at
least would be likely to read more of than the
title. Then cart the vast stock of rubbish
that will remain to the nearest auctioneer
for vendue. After the registers and
records of Congress and the Departments,
which must necessarily be assigned place,
there are not $4,000 works in existence en-
titled to a place in the National library. And
if there are 100 pamphlets among its Ioc, 900
that are worth binding, which although
doubtful is possible, let Mr.. Spofford be
authorized to have them bound, and to pay
what expense may be incurred in having the
rest carted away.
There is not a book of value in this National
library the worth of which is not abridged Just
to the extent to which it is covered out OF
reach by books of no value; there is no such
book but appeals with all its eloquence and
ability, of whatever kind, to have the rubbish
taken out of its way-an appeal in the interest
of Congress and the Nation. 1t might as we'll
lie at the bottom of the sea as be buried in
this metropolis of dead literature. The need
is imperative of excluding from the shelves OF
the National library every book that
is not one of decided merit, and every
book that is not of some historical or national
interest We are informed by Mr.. Spottord
that ''the additions to the collections during
1882 are 59,9S4 volumes and 27,3Io pamph-
let's" Taking this annual increase as our
guide, we shall have at the end OF 50 years
a national library of 5000, 900 volumes and
nearly half that number of pamphlets. Yet So
years are but as day in the life of nation.
Let Congress salary commission of three or
more Librarians, who are scholarly, compe-
tent men, whose duty it shall be to purge this
mass of its trash and of books not appropri-
ate to the national library. Its accumulations
will make such work impraCticable in few
years. And when that labor shall have been
performed and the national library reduced to
10, 900 or 20, COO volumes, in place of 48o, 600,
let portion of such commission be constitu-
ted a perm anence in order to exclude every
worthless work in future.

THERE is no doubt that Rerdell in the Star

should be untrue. There can be no convic-

supported by proof, but many things which he
