enjoyable singing.

Notes..

The TerdS StOckman says that when
sheepmen in Texas learn to handle
their sheep to the best advantage, and
get to keeping them in te 1ced pastures
where they will not have to herd, count
and dip them to death, the world can
not beat Western Texas for sheep
country, and men here, who have been
in Australia and other sheep.raising
countries, know it.
Says all authority: Shearing should be
done on clean floor We shear on the
barn floor with the sheep penned in a
small stable (6oored on level with
the shearing fiOor) this saves unneces-
sary lifting. The stable should be kept
well cover d with sawdust or straw !;
sawdusl we like best. We use bench
about knee-high-a little higher for
small sheep, and somewhat lower for
large ones.
The first volume of the Ohio Regis
ter Of the Spanish Merino Sheep Breed.
ers' association is now being prepared
for print by its secretary and publish
ing committee, to be issued at an
early date. About 200 fiocks will be
published in lst volume, and 80 sheep
plates will embellsh its pages; also
the likeness and biography of Consul
Jarvis, whose work suggested the i'm
portation of the Merinos into A nerica,
and such pioneer breeders of this
country as Stephen Atwood, Edwin
Hammond, Tyler Stickney, of YER
mont, and Minor Tone, of Delaware
county, ..
A grower of fine wool was showing
us line of samples the other day, of
various lengths, some of which were
really wonderful for Merino pr, duce
Warming up with his theme, he con-
tidently said, Il expect to grow Me-
rino wool ten inches in length before
die" While we have no expectation
of ever seeing Merino wool of that
length, or anything near it, it must be
admitted that this kind of enthusiasm
is doing much for the advancement of
fine wool interests in this country.
Wool is now grown of length and
tineness which would have astonished
our grandtathers, and it is not too
much to expect that generation or
two hence, breeding will achieve things
now quite beyond reach. StOchmdn.

Fashions I'm Carpeting.

AT this season of the year, it is a
natural desire to replenish the house
hold and to embellish some special
room with new carpet. Perhaps there
is no shopping which requires more
of the grace of patience than this same
selection of carpet; and, because it is
matter of importance, it is well to
think about it little beforehand. The
shape, size, and purpose of the room,
the general furnishing. the arrangement
of light, the quality and price, must
one and all be considered, and then,
when ones mind is made up. find out
what fashion has to say on the subject.
Recent impOrtalions of the reliable car
pet house of j. II. Pray & Sons OF Bos-
ton show marked change in style from
those of last year. Their tone is much
gayer and brighter. A reaction has
apparently begun; for even the Nor
ris designs, aesthetic as they are, still
are brightly delicate in color and really
cheerful in some of their quaint COM
binations. Among the choicest carpet
ings shown bv this firm, English Brus-
sells remains the favorite with conser-
vatlve buyers; but the Lowell and
8igelow manufactures follow so close
it must be all expert to discern any diff
terence, save in price. Indeed, the
American fabrics are now considered
absolutely perfect, Durable in texture
and solid in color, they prove the very
best OF investments. No home is con-
sidered wholly finished without a
Woodstock carpet, the most tasteful
substitute for Brussels or Persian stuffs
that this firm has ever placed before
the public. With characteristic enter
prise, John II, Pray Il Sons monopo-
lie the sale III this country of this
noted manufacture; and whoever de-
slres one of those lovely squares for
sitting-rOOm or parlor must 90 to them.
The Morris patterns are truly artistic,
and the new colors, including not only
shades of gray and terra Gotta, but
clover, pink, and heavenly blue, with
delicate sage green, brown, and prim-
rose, and other combinations as odd
and charming as though they had Just
grown up in ali English garden. Their
popularity Is SO great that the firm have
introduced cheaper kind of carpet
called the kenslnglOn Art Ingram that
copies some of these dainty Morris de-
signs, and faithfully reproduces in sim
pie little patterns the tasteful colors of
the haudsomer goods. These STYLES
ere intended for bedrooms and sum
mer residences where inexpensive car
pets are required. Much taste and
Judgment have been exercised by this
firm in the selection of good, which
shall not merely satisfy millionaires,
but please those who have not the
purse of Forlunatus at their com.
mand.
