In Favor o. southdown..

Among the reasons why it would pay
to breed Southdown sheep more gencr-
ally, these are given: They thrive the
best ofall breeds on snowy, arid or rocky
pastures; are less liable to disease than
any but Merinos can be kept in large
fiocks; the fleece is abundant, of medium
fineness, and preferable to any other
for certain kinds Of goods, and sells
quickly at fair prices; and the mutton
is very superior. A cross of common
ewes with Southdown ram makes a
great improvement in the offspring, both
in the wool and mutton"

lBarbed Wire Fence.

Many are opposed to this kind of fence
but since the reduction in price of barbed
wire it is rapidly growing in favor. Eas-
tern farmers, however seldom rely on
the barbed wire alone, but usually COM
blne it with some fence that is more cas-
lily visible, and warns cattle and horses
not to approach too closely.

bottom by filling the saucers with boil

"A long. WASTED man, with the nose
of n fox and an eye full of speculation,
walked up to secondhand clothier in
Buffalo the other day and said:
"See that overcoat hanging out down
there2"
"Of course"
"Well, I've taken fancy to it, It's
rather cheeky to ask you to go down
there, but I'll make ii an object; | won't
give him but s. for the coat, but I'll give
YOU dollar to buy it for me. You are

Cooked Potatoes for Hogs

Cooked potatoes are eaten greedily by
hogs, and unsalable potatoes can best
be disposed of in this way. Careful ex
periments show that on an average
cooked potatoes are three-fourths the
value of corn for feeding, while raw ones
are less than one-half. This year the
relative value Of potatoes and corn will
give still better showing for the tubers.

Board vs.. Tile for Drains.

A writer in the Prairie Farmer relates
that drain put down in 1858, of COM
mon fence boards, is still in good con-
and that if he had to make short, deep
drains, with plenty of fall and thorough
compact or yellow clay, he should GER
tainly use six inch fence board, behev-
ing it would answer every purpose of a
three or four inch drain tile.

Like Her Great-Great-Grand ther.


A few days ago Miss Jennie Hazen, of
Angola township, was passing second
hand picture dealers store in Buffalo
when she noticed among some old paint
ings picture that was a striking like
ness of herself. Looking at the refiec-
ton of herself in the window and then
upon the old painting, the resemblance
was wonderful The young lady, who
il only sixteen years old, returned home
to Angola full of her discovery, insisting
that some one had been painting her
picture and arranging her as fright
(the girl Of the painting was dressed in
the style of the last century,. Incited
by curiosity some of the family went to
Buffalo and upon seeing the picture
were as amazed as Miss Jennie.
Their bewllderment was increased by
deciphering the name Jennie on the
back Of the painting. 1t also bore the
name of the artist, Richardson, Phila-
delphia.' The painting was bought for
$3.50, and was sent to the young lady's
grandmother in Erie, Mrs. DR.. NJ. j.
Clark, who recognized it as the portrait
of her grandmother, Jennie Elizabeth
McMichael, an intrepid Philadelphia
girl, whose adventures during the revo-
lutionary period were told at hundreds
of fresides by the grandfalhers and
grandmothers of the present generation.

why Butter Is bad.

A Western writer says that the mass
of the butter sold goes for half price,
year in and out, because it is churned
at the wrong temperature by persons too
stingy or too stupid to invest 80 cents in
good thermometer. A variation of five
degrees from the standard spoils or
greatly injuries either butter or cheese.

Competing Breeds of Cattle.

A Western paper says that the hotly

Chicago resulted in DO clear cut victory

was won by Hereford, the three-year-

sweepstakes for the best carcass in the
show by Shorthorn. At Kansas City

double the stock now kept, at least that
kept west Of the Mississippi, and east OF

GENERALS MECHANICS.
what some of the old Soldiers
Were Called for Short.

Every general OF prominence has a
nickname bestowed upon him by his
troons Some of these names were of a
sarcastic nature, but usually they indi
Gated the confidence of the men IN their
leaders or their admiration for them.
Cen. Grant was commonly known over
fine watchfires in the Army of the
Potomac as "Old United States, from
the initials Of his name, but sometimes
he was called "Old Three Stars, that
number indicating his rank as heuten-
ant-generaI. Mcclellan was en-
deared to his army as Little Mac. "
Meade. who wore Spectacles,
was delighted to learn that the
soldiers had named him "Four-Eyed
George for he knew 1t was not IN
tended as a Teproach. Burnside, the
Colonel Of the First Rhode Island req.
ment, rose to the dignity OF "Rhody'
VIXEN he became a General. HOOKER
never liked the sobriquet of Fighting
Joe," though he always lived up TO II
during his career in the field. Pope was
saddled with the title of "Saddle-Bag
John in memory of his famous order
about headquarters being on horseback.
His men used to say that their
headquarters moved pretty rapidly at
times. Sigel, the German General, was
known in the other corps as "Dutchy.
Hancock won the brevet of Superb
from a remark made by Gen. Meade at
Gettysburg when the Second corps re-
pulsed Longstreet's men. Humphrey,
being q distinguished engineer, was in
yariably STYLED "Old Mathematics.
The PENNSYLVANIA Reserves used to call
Crawford "Physics," he being a sur
geon at the beginning of his military
career. Logan, with his long black hair
and dark complexion, was Black Jack"
with his men. Sheridan the cavalry
leader, was Little. Phil, y and Sherman
troops spoke of him as "Old Tecumseh.' "
The sterling nature and stead
fast purpose of Thomas earned for
him the significant and famu-
iar name of "OId Reliable Alexan-
der Mcdowell McCook, like Hooker,
was called Fighting McCOOk." The
New York City regiments in the Fifth
Corps changed Sykes to "Syksey."
HaIleck was derisively niCknamed "Old
Brains" and ROseerans had his name
shortened to "ROsey." Lew Wallace
was Louisa to the soldiers under his
command. He waSa great fayorite for
his fighting qualities, and the soldiers
adopted that inappropriate name for
wait of a better. Kearney, who had
left an arm in Mexico, was invariably
known in the ranks as zone
Armed Phil" Butler was styled
"COckeye," for obvious reasons. Kill
patrick was nicknamed "Kill," while
Custer was called "Ringlets," on
account of his long, blowing curls; and
SO on the catalogue might be prolonged
indefinitely. Among the COnfederates
familiar nicknamesWere not so common
as with the Federals. The soldiers of
the army of North Virginia usually
spoke of General Lee as bob Lee"
Little Malone was. best known as "Skin
and Bone" Early was called bad Old
Man." and Jackson will live in history
as '.StoneWall. THE Century.
