SURROUNDING THE dinner table of one
of our citizens. on Sunday last, in addi-
ton to the family, was a well-known
young swain of the centre stake-Joe
-. who had called on lady member
of the family. The conversation soon
assumed jovial strain, when the young
lady's venerable. parent playfully re-
marked that she was his tenth child,
and upon her attaining sufficient cor
pulency, he intended to "turn her in for
tithing." The gentleman caller hear
ing this drew some papers from his
pocket and soberly remarked that he
was saving up all his meat orders on
the tithing Office so as to be able to buy
the whole critter at once. 1t will be I'M
necessary to state that the family was
conyulsed with laughter over the young
lady's bushes.

THE TRIP of the Patience company,
though it made no money, was prolific
of enjoyment and, during the out, as
was unavoidable, there transpired some
very amusing things. One of the best
is told on young Van Horne, who is
well-known as the very affable and
quite tony clerk of the Continental
Hotel. He was one of the foremost
among the worshippers at the lovesick
maidens' shrineS, and being acquainted
with good many in the company, he
determined on making the trip with it.
At Brigham City, where there is only
one hotel, everybody was quartered
around on the hospitable citizens, and
Van happened to be assigned to the
house of a Danish gentleman, where
several of the most dashing of the
young ladies were also entertained. The
first breakfast table was sat down to,
the young ladies rosy, Van between
two of them all smiles, and the head
of the house with his wife beaming
Hospitality at them vis us. The
worthy couple waited until there was a
pause in the chatter, and then turning
to his guests, he said: "Now, Brodah
Wan Hon, if you ask de blessing, we be-
GIN" We draw a horse blanket over
the scene that followed.

NORTHUMBERLAND Tom DoBsoN, who
was another of the admirers that fol-
lowed in the train of the company to
Logan, seems to have been all too giddy
in that city. A crowd of the
dragons, with Tom, had put
up at the Logan House, and
after the performance, the proprietor of
the hotel was annoyed to find that none
of his operate guests seemed inclined to
go to bed. They had partially I'M
dressed, and in one of the back rooms
were having grand ballet de Dragons;
the noise and confusion were terrific !;
the hotel man demonstrated but all to
no effect, the chorus, dancing, and gen.
eral din were all the louder. AT length,
becoming thoroughly exasperated, he
rushed up stairs, and on the landing,
executing fancy pas seul, he came face
to face with Tom Dobson, sans breeches,
sans boots, sans everything but shirt.
"If you don't quit this racket, shouted
the landlord, "I'n call in the police. -
"AIl right" replied Tom with an airy
flourish of his right heel, "Ill come.
Nothing would give me greater pleasure
than to run in the whole outfit. Q

ANOTHER GOOD one is related of Jack
White, the Grosvenor. AT each place
where they played, the first step of
White, Spencer and Clawson, was to rus
tie out among the inhabitants to secure
local skits. White was very fortunate
in learning that on the morning of their
arrival, the quiet of Brigham City had
been broken by the sheriff of the town
falling off load of hay, and this Incl
dent he rung into verse, produced it in
its place in the dancing Duet with
the roof shake with the terrific yells of
applause that followed. 1t was even
said that the sheriff had arisen and left
| that the applause and laughter followed
him out. At the end of the perform
ance Jack was shown to the house
where he had been quartered, and the
host, a genial, hearty looking man,
invited him to sit down for a
few minutes and talk the show
over before retiring for the night.
Jacks first inquiry was as to
how his host had enjoyed the opera.
ooh, twas famous, famous" was the
response"
Jack expressed his pleasure.
"Those local hits they got off, they
were immense, can tell you"
Jack smiled and thanked the speaker
for his kind opinion.
| THAT one on me was not so slow, "
said his hest, chuckling.
".On You. Why, what do you mean?''
said Jack in surprise.
I'm the sheriff, you know" said his
host with guffaw that ratified all the
windows. 1T was afterwards rumored
that Spencer had conspired to have
White quartertered in the house of this
official as practical joke.

His Success

Financially and socially, are largely due
to his excellent health. If his system
were clogged and feverish, no doubt he
would fail as 80 many others do. But
why not enjoy good health when one
can please the palate at the same time ?
syrup of Figs is not only pleasant to
the taste, it also cleanses the system
thoroughly, yet painlessly; it is harm
less in its nature, and strengthens the
organs on which it acts so that regular
habits may be formed, and the sufferer
permanently restored to health and
happiness. Sample bottles free and large

Feeding For Fattening.

The only profit the farmer can Sc
curein feeding, says Science IN Farm
ing, is that from the food supplied
in excess ofthe amount required to
preserve the life of the animal and
keep it in health. The food should
not only be sufficient in quantity,
but its quality and character should
be adapted to the purpose desired.
Lack of care in this respect is likely
to esult in injury to the animal, in
waste of some of the food constitu.
ents supplied, or the use of unnecess-
arily expensive foods.
In arranging a mixed diet, the
effect of the mixing upon the diges-
tibility of the food must be carefully
considered, otherwise much of the
food supplied may remain undigest-
ed, causing waste and loss. The
greater the amount of food a fatteE.
ing animal can be induced to eat
and digest, the greater will be the
profit Obtained in proportion to the
amount of food CONSUMED. There.
fore the flavor of the food, and the
degree in which it is relished by the
stock, have all important influence
OH the profits of feeding. Exertion
and exposure to cold require a large
consumption of food which gives nc
returns in flesh or fat, therefore,
economy requires that fattening
stock be protected from the weather,
and spared all unnecessary exercise.

A Dairy School.

The recent close of term for
dairy maids at the Munster school
was marked in the usual manner,
by distribution of prizes and con-
ferring of scholarships. The session
just closed had been attended by
twenty-five pupils, and during the
exercises which attended the closing
of the session, ample testimony was
offered as to the benefits derived
from the school, as seen in a gradual
and steady improvement i'll dairy
products. One speaker, the butter
inspector ut Cork, reported recent
instances of super-eXcellent, high
priced butter, in one case realizing
81 per cwt. more than any other
offered on the market that day, and
in another, being awarded the first
super-fine brand on butter, and re-
ceiving lots. (S39) per cwt., which
the INSPECTOR calls an extraordinary
figure. In both cases the makers
were pupils of the Munster Dairy
School. All these evidences of i'm
proved dairying in the old countries
of Europe are of much interest tc
our American dairymen, and shonld
be a great incentive to progress IL
this direction on our part. Evidenc,
exists ON every hand that competi
ton in dairy products is going t.
compel excellence in quality ant
economy in manufacture every
where.

Homo Experiments.

Every farm should be an expert
ment station, and every farmer an
experimental. We don't mean by
this that the whole farm and the
whole time of the farmer be devoted
to making experiments; but we do
mean that the farmer should have
plots Oh which to try the different
manures, different seeds and diffe
rent modes of cultivation. Farmers
are far too apt to take information
at second bend; too apt to jump at
conclusions.
Because neighbOr may feed
more stock and feed richer and
make better barn yard manure, and
for that reason the farmers who use
special fertilizer can't see any
special benefit from its use, it won't
do for him to conclude tina such
fertilizer will not pay him. He
must know for himself and on
his own soil what manures pay and
what pay best. He must know
what crops are best adapted to par
ticular fields; whether hill or drill
planting pays him better; whether
hill or fiat culture is the more prof
table; in short there are a thousand
questions constantly arising that
every farmer must settle for himself
to certainty. "Farmers, Prove all
things, and hold fast that which is
good .n-Nep Yorker.

The Sheep Business.

The time to go into a business Is
when a good many persons are get
ting out of it This applies especially
to sheep-keeping. | am not very
old, but can remember several ups
and downs in this business; but the
downs only last short time, and
everything gets lovely again very
soon. The golden fleece becomes
furnished for II while but it soon
brightens again, and gets as bright
and brilliant as ever. just now
sheep are down. Good store ewes
are selling in markets, and can be
picked ont of droves for $3.50 to 81
a head, which may be made to bring
a lamb next spring worth more than
the cost of the dam, and give fleece
that will pay for their keep, and so
stand their owners next summer just
nothing at all. This is not bad for
a time when a good many sheep own
ers are wild to get rid of their sheep,
and 90 into something else not half
so good. 1t is thus very clear that
this is a good time to begin to keep
flock. This season of the year is
the very best, because it will soon
be the breeding time, and one can
make suitable arrangements for the
next years lambs. Rolling and even
billy land is the most desirable sur
face, and limestone gravel that is
dry and free from swamps or low
wet places, is the best soil. Clear
running water that is wholly free
from marshy banks or borders, or
well water, which is preferable, is
indispensable, because wherever
there are low, wet places, there the
much to be dreaded liver tluke and
the lung worm are to be found, with
lung disorders and foot rot; and
these are more troublesome than all
the other complaints of sheep put
together. The great needs of sheep
are dry footing, good grass, or other
heritage, rather shortaud sweet than
rich and luxuriant; pure water, pure
air, and plenty of it, and, shelters
from rains or SHOWS. With these
needed comforts, and close watch
ing to avoid accidents and dogs,
sheep will always belle the old Vir-
gilman adage that 'they are an
unhappy tlock," and will day their
way better than any other farm
stock. The second necessity is the
master, and he who would keep
sheep with pleasure and profit must
be patient aud persevering; careful,
thoughtful and watchful; apt to
learn and quick to apply what he
learns, and endowed with good COM
mon sense aud foresightedness.
More sheep 60 to the bad because
of a neglectful owner, or one whose
temper is cross and who scorns little
details, that for any other reason
The third necessity is to secure a
good lot of sheep to start with, and
not too many at first. Above all
things pure bred ewes should be
avoided. They are more cxacting
than the native grades; they cost
several times as much money; the
fleece is rarely worth more than that
of common sheep, and the lambs are
worth no more than those of half
bred sheep. But bure-bred rams
are indispensable. For market
lambs, the black faced breeds furnish
the best sires.-HENRY STEWART,
