more for usefulness than for show, with
clear, easy print that children and old

the paper when carefully examined,
will recommend itself, and soon become
a welcome visitor to every one

Sheep Farming.

Despite the constant attention which
is called to the value of sheep, not only
as improvers of land, but as profitable
farm animals, for wool and mutton,
there are many farmers who have never
raised or kept single sheep, though
their farms are adapted to raising sheep
largely and profitably. Why this is
we cannot immagine, for facts and fig.
ures can be had by the score to prove
the proftableness of sheep breeding, if
necessary, and about the only draw
back in many localities is the loss oc.
casioned by dogs. Many a rough,
wornout or neglected farm might be
brought up rapidly and be made paying
land, by breeding sheep thereon, as the
manure from the sheep is one of the
most enriching of manures, and is
evenly and finely distributed OF
course they maylnot do this without
being fed something besides what they
can get IN the fields, yet this additional
food works to the profit of the breeder
in two ways--it not only insuresi good
and profitable growth of flesh and
wool, but it makes the manure, richer
and more yaluable.rSEven poor farm
ers can give sheep a trial by commend.

fact we do not know single family
outside of the town that keeps a SER
want. AS general thing the young
ladies are intelligent, refined and to
some degree cultured, which results
from the almost perfect system of pub
lie schools in Missouri. We have said
this kind of society would suit the COM
mon farmer of Tennessee. We think
so because it is common-sense life; 1;
it is little nearer the society of ye
olden times than is found among the
same class of people in the South and
East.

about fifty residences built or in course

Farmers and Their Wives.
Southern Planter

Southern Planter
Farmers wives are human beings as
well as the men, but they are not ais
ways treated as such. They have to
work and toll, and don't always see as
much of a happy life as they should.
They are confined too closely to the
house and largely deprived of the out
door air and sunshine. The farmer
who is interested so much in his farm
and making money that he thinks little
about his wife, should remember that
her work is as hard and very mono.
tonous, and when he comes in from his
work at night he should have a pleas
ant word for her. If she has good
supper, aud things look neat and tidy
about the house, he should take notice
of it. i Farmers should take their
wives out riding more than they do,
give,them pure air, and let them see
more 'ofnature and the glorious things
that God has made for'all to enjoy. -a.
wife is lover of flowers,
don't hoe them all upiand let the stock
into the yard. But take an interest
in theirlwelfare; spade up the flower
abedsibuy her seed (; set her plants
out, and when you see the chickens in
the hower-beds drive them out. II s,.i
siiAnother thing is, see toit that your
wife has spending money. Women
are made to spend money as well as
men, and they should have it. They
earn as much as men if they do house
work. Alse let your wife have her
own way just little, and don't try
to run the farm and the house too. If
the men would only think how valu>
able wife is they would always treat
them as angels, and as they do during
courtship. When house cleaning time
comes don'tscold, but take hold, help
her put down the carpet, and see to it
that she don't overwork herself, and
when blue Monday comes around help
her and see that she is helped; don't
get angry because dinner is late on
Monday, but whistle or sing or read
the Country Gentleman and compose
yourself; you will feel great deal bet
ter thanif you scoldedyodr wife and
made her feel unhappy allthe' rest Of
the day. If you want any advice,
don't run overto a neighbor, but go to
your wife. Z Another thing men do
which is unpleasant for their wives is to
take them to- town ID mid.winter, and
iftheysmeeta farmer they will stop
and talkiwith him for two hours and
forget that the wifeiis freezing. Talk
about women beihg takers! They
can't Beat the men when they get ex-
cited. One more thing almost for
got to say: tits not to let your wife
milk and chop wood just because she is
I "a farmers wife. See that she has
plenty Of wood and coal, not half a
4 mile away, but near the house. twill
save her a'great many steps, and when
! you feel lazy, bring in water and wood,
4 and it will revive your spirits and you
4 will have clear concience. Let her
have the butter money ifyou can't af-
ford to give her cash'out Of your own
4 pocket. See that your wife has good
i magazinesand papers ITO read, and
4 don't be afraid to make it pleasant for
her, 'sae f i.' rel e'

Sorghum Sugar.

Nashville American.
The Scientific American notes the
very radical change that is casting its
shadow ahead in the sugar production
of the United States, and that too it
believes without long delay. The me-
dunn of this inovation is the common
sorghum, so well known in this part of
the country. Even now, in some parts
of the State, cane crushers and the i'm
mense iron boilers are making the dark
nights luminous on many a thrifty farm
for it is in the fall of the year that
sorghum molasses is made. Hitherto
we have had practically but one kind
of sugar, made of the "Sugar cane"
Now it is conceded we are to have an
other whose Importance this careful
journal predicts will exceed that of
the former in the same ratio as does the
extent Of territory for its cultivation.
Although the Gulf States have sue
cessfully cultivated the sugar cane for
generations, it is, after all, semi
tropical plant and no part ofthe United
States is fairly within the range of its
perfect development, Its, cultivation
has never been confined principally TO
to the state Of Louisiana, while our
consumption Of sugar is far beyond the
capacity Of the producing territory of
the South iu its widest. range, which
yields only 2OO,OOO,OOO pounds an.
nually, while we oonsumeE1, 700, O,OOO,>
600 pounds. The Government has
fostered this industry in the face of
much complaint that we are not allowed
to import sugar from the tropics free
of duty. But as this would destroy
the industry in Louisiana and parts
of Texas, Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia, it has never been brought to
point. The production of sorghum
may, perhaps, be the solution of this
vexatious question by purely natural
process. This plant knows no climatic
limitations. Its cultivation can be car
ried on in every State in the county
The Scientific American points out that
the great trouble has been that the
yield of sugar from the sorghum has
been capricious and uncertain. There
has always been evidently much SUI
gar in the cane, as seen from its yielc
of sweet syrupydbut aiwhile occasionly
this syrup would crystalize beautifully
in otherainstances not a grain of Sugar
would make lis appearance. Science
has now come forward and the resul
of investigation shows that titis not tot
much to saythat crop Of sorghum il
the field can be as safely calculated Oh
to yield its full quota of sugar Of frs
4 quality as can acrop'iiof sugar cane
and still further, thatacre for acre it
best varieties will yield fully as mucl
sugar as isIabtained from the ribbol
cane in Louisiana. ~ The chemica
points which established this belief ar
too elaborate for consideration here
but attention is called. to the subjec
as being one of 1great Importance
Further information Zon the subiec
rests with the will of those immeaditl
{ interested. To the Department q
Agriculture, at Washington, is due tn
researches that promise to bring abou
this great change, and to'that Depart
ment application for this information
may be had. d.qo'tl s s3aai 'H 'Ha.
