Effects of the Explosions in Scotland Yard
and st. james Square.
LONDON, May Si.--Daylight showed that the
damage by the explosions WAS fully equal to the
worst antieipatians. A crowd Of excited PEG
pie are visiting the scenes, but policemen are
thrown up in line across the streets in the xicin-
ity to prevent the access of the multtudes.
Orders were given to leave the wreckage I'M
touched until an examination was made AT
St James Theater. a hundred yards distant, the
explosions sounded like two .claps of thunder.
The audience WAS alarmed and caused nearly
panic. Several ladies tainted, and the men
started to stampede, butwere reassured by shouts
bidding every one TO sit STILL as harm
done.
The explosion created great havoc at the
Junior Carlton Clubhouse. Numerous cases of
wine were destroyed. The clubhouse will re
main closed for several days. An hour before
the explosion there was an outbreak of fire at
the War Office, which was speedily eXtingaished.
1t is unknown whether this WAS ineendaiy in
its origin or not. So far as known up to noon,
thirteen persons were injured, including five
women. All the wounded are in the hospital.
Five, Including policeman, are in pfeoarious
condition.
The dynamite had been carried down the iron
steps leading to tho kitchen and cellars, and
placed in the cellar under the pathway with
lighted fuse. The upward force of che explosion
broke large hole i'll the pavement. and wrecked
the basement apartments of the club. The ex-
plosion WAS the most destructive on the west side
OF st James Square. The windows of the Duke
of Clevelands house and of the War Office in
Pail Mall were shattered

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Arrangemeuts for re
ceiving the returns from Chicago will be very
re- ,o,,ets Mar Mar EVERY senator and representa-
tive Of the Republican persuasion has arranged
to receive private messages from friends IN the
convention, and every anticipated move and real
development will promptly be laid before the
senators and representatives Besides this the
Associated Press and the United Press, and all
of the four telegraph companies here expect to
post bulletins in the Capitol for the information
of the statesmen.
When the balloting begins it is expected that
there will not be much speech making. while
several here expressed the belief That both
branches of Congress will adjourn from day to
day This is altogether improbable, and
the appropriation bills can be considered under
the -minuterule, and there can be speaking, as
well as dispatch reading. The interest in the
proceedings of the convention will be more alb
sorbing here, of course than anywhere else.

Sheep for Market.
Philadelphia Record.


Sheep breeding is an art at the present day.
Our breedcls have classified sheep into breeds
best adapted for either mutton or WOOL and the
mutton sheep have eenclassifed into heavy and
large breeds, while those bred for wool are di-
yided into long woods, fine woods and middle
woods. The Americans give more attention to
the production of wool than mutton, while in
England the reverse is the case While we are
considering measures to prevent competition in
foreign woolour markets are badly supplied with
mutton-nOt that there is insufficient guam
tity to supply the demand, but the quality is. as
a rule, very inferior, and as compared with that
sold in the English markets. shows lack of i'm
provcment in the sheep which sent to the
large cities in droves. With but few exceptions
there is great uniformity in the fiockS that ar
rive at the drove-yards an expert being able to
see at glance that the sheep are bred for wool
in preference to mutton They are marketed
more with the view of sending them off the farm
to make room for younger stock than for their
excellence for market purposes
In breeding for mutton it may be taken into
consideration that the best wool sheep fthe Me
rinos1 are small and do not arrive at rnarkcta-
BILE age until well grown. They are hardy, are
excellent producers of iine soft wool, and make
good crosses for that purpose with our native
breeds, but they are not as suitable for market
as Southdowns Gotswolds. The Cotswolds
are the largest of all breeds, have heavy car
cases anG produce long combing wool, but the
objection them is that they are not adapted to
scanty heI'bage and do not answer well for Il
first cross with our small natives. lie South
down is remarkable for its hardness and the
great Improvement 1t makes in a single season.
Its flesh is ncely iHterspersed with fat and lean,
the carcass full and the flesh firm. Possessing
fine bone and producing only a medium quality
of wool there is but little offal, and,
as they haye dark faces and legs,
are displayed on English stalls with
the legs unskinned, they receiving the prefer
ence from buyers. who willingly pay a higher
price for such mutton, which is known to be ex
cellent in quality and superior to that of other
breeds of sheep.
1t is not costly experiment TO endeayor to
improve a common flock in order to produce
better grade of mutton. If our wool market is
oYerstocked the field is still open for good NUT
ton. We have not given the production of nut
ton that attention which it demands, and if our
fiocks were Increased in size and quality there
would be fewer complaints of loss from sheep
raising. In addition to the Southdowns we have
the Shropshires, Oxfords and Hampshires; but
for a first cross tho Seuthdowns best, their
habits and characteristics very similar to
common sheep, and it is not best to make violent
crosses by resorting to the very large breeds, as
improvement is always more satisfactory when
made gradual

Seeding and Propagating.

American AgrIcuiturfst'
The most carefully seeded meadow is the most
productive Grass seed should be sown with
winter grains, because they grow thinner on the
ground than spring grain the young plants are
less shaded. and the growth forms with stronger
roots, and is better able to Withstand the hot
sun and dry weather. After harvesting the
grain the seeding is often destroyed, because the
roots of clover and timothy are SO near the sur
face that they dry up, The ground is crusty
for want of cultivation and weight of snow after
the grain is sown. The remedy is simple, but
rarely used, The grain should be narrowed into
the ground after it has settled, and is dry
enough to mellow under the harrow. Winter
grain is improved by narrowing affording a
lighter soil for the spread and growth of
the rooJs covering the field with stronger
growth, consequently increasing the yield. This
process insures the certainty of grass seeding

loss or trust 10 luck Two crops can not grow

and sowing grass seed at the same time, expect,
