Sheep Upon the Farm.

There is wise old saying that the "sfeep's foot is golden. v Probably sheep come nearer to working their own passage than any other animal upon the farm. Where the farm is enclosed with a good rail fence and destructive dogs are not too plenty, sheep may be kept to a profit, but in those sections where stone walls are used as dividing lines between fields and where dogs are rapidly multiplying and destructive in their tendencies, sheep raising IS not profitable, The sheep IS aif animal that likes good gyass and rowen hay, but if it cannot cbsaln these 1t viii accommodate itself to almost any kind of living, and will consume and work into manure weeds, briars, bushes and other trash that other animals wM not even look at. They may well be denominated farm scavengers as regards, weeds, etc. They equal ize the fertility upon the farm by seeking their food where it grows during the day and at night they almost invariably seek the poorer knolls upon which to lie down. It is also the nature of the sheep to make frequent evacnations of both the urine and solid manure. and for that reason there is no animal that so evenly distributes fertility over the farm as sheep. And even when they are upon knolis and hillsides, their constant track ing about with their sharp feet tramps the manure into the soil where it carrot wash away, and in that way such localities as are naturally barren are brought into and kept in fair stxte of fertil- ity-Germantown Telegraph.

THE FLYING SHIP.
By MT. H. HsDcycutt of Malvern

Il. k. Democrat.
 During the past fifty years vari. ous efforts to navigate the air has been made, but no machine here- tofore invented has worked satis- factory. It was learned long ago that gas could be confined in a silk bag in sufficient quantities to lift heavy weight too high to be seen by the naked eye, and many persons have made extensive voy- ages through the air in balloons, but in all these efforts the balloon or other machine drifted with the current of the wind, and was per fectly uncomfortable.
 MT. II. Honeycutt is thirty eight years of age, aud has been in Ar kansas some nine years. He is a practical machinist, and says that he has studied Chow to make an air ship" from childhood. To-day at o'clock. p. m. he exhibited a moddle of his ship at the Central hotel, corner Fourth and Louisiana streets. A large number of capi. talists and machinists were pres ent, all of whom were convinced beyond a cavil that MT. Honeycutt has discovered the true and prac- tical way of arial navigation. The force of gravitation is overcome with gas. The ship has a large rudder, which assists in the navi- gation. The propelling power con- sists of adjustable wings, which can be made to fly up, down or in any other direction. One wing will take Q forward motion, the other backward, and the ship will sail in a circle: both wings will fly upward and the ship will rise to any altitude, or they will fly down. ward and the vehicle will descend to the surface or as near it as de-
 sirable. There is no doubt that before many years it will be "a; common an occurrance to see all ships making regular trips from city to city as it now is to se'
 trains speeding oyer the railroads There will be less danger or caus:
 or accidents with the ships thar there now is with the steam cars Cl stcamboats.

In the center, from the forehead to the crown of his head. his hair is parted by seam or partition, and fails over each ear after tho man ner of the Nazarines. His fore head is lofty and pale, and his face without spot or wrinkle, beauti- full with single tinge of comedy complexion. His nose and mouth are formed with the most admlfa- ble symmetry. His beard is thick and of the color of his hair; not of any great length, and dividing i'll the center at the chin, takes near ly the form of fork. His look is innocent and mature. His eyes blue, brilliant and serenely beauti' ful. In reproving he is awful and majestic; in admonishing, courfe' GUS, sweet, friendly, and pefsua. sive; and speaking or acting he IS grave, temperate, modest, and wise.

A Gull boy in a certain school was frequently reproached by his teacher, and made little progress One day he made a first attempt to write. The scrawl was so wretch ed it excited the laughter of the boys who sat near him. A gentle man visiting the school and wit messing his distress said to him:
 "Never mind, my lad, do not ..be discouraged, and you will be writ CT some day, I recollect when l first began being quite as awk- ward as you; but l persevered, and now look See what I can do."
 He took his pen and wrote his name in a lar gej itgible hand.
 Years afterwards when the dull boy had become one of the most celebrated men of his day, he met again the man who had spoken to him those few words of encourage ment. He said to him:
 "It is my firm conviction that l owe my success in life, under
  Gods blessings, to those few words you spoke to me that day when l sat so discouraged, trying to wyite."

The Atlanta Constitution notes a reiharkable coincidence of events in the lives of Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln until each ap. preached the climacteric of his public career. They were both born in Kentucky, Davis in 1908 and Lincoln in 1909. They both were removed from their native state in childhood, Davis being carried to the southwest and Lincoln further to the northwest then so called. Both of them be gan their political career at the same period, in lS44, Davis being then a presidential elector for Polk, and..Lincoln an elector for Henry Clay. Both served in the Indian wars of the west, and both were elected to congress about the same time, 1S45 and lS46. And, lastly in the parallel, in the same year, and almost on the same day they were called upon to preside over their respective governments, Davis as president oi the cOnfeder ate states and Lincoln of the Unit ed States.

How to Make Good Coffee.

"It is one of the simplest things in the world," says Mrs. Corson, 'to make good cup of coffee, and this can easily Do accomplished by applying a little common sense. If you put boiling water on coffee. and do not let it boil" she coptlnu ed, "you have all the good quail ties preserved. One reason dys- petics cannot drink coffee IS be- cause it is boiled. The style of cof fee pot is just matter of fancy. ] have made as good coffee from an old tomato can as l ever sippea from the finest French coffee urn. We should take lessons in this mat ter from the Turks and Arabians. who grind their coffee to a fine powder.
 "When the coffee is ground as fine as possible, put it in a bag ot unbleached muslin, which should be tied tightly enough to prevent the escape of the grounds. IfyOu use a cup of ungrouad coffee you can make over quart of strong, black coffee. In making coffee, many people sacrifice favor for strength. Bitterness comes from boiling. When boiling water is placed on the bag of ground coffee, it should stand at least three min. utes minutes before serving. Re member. the longer it stands the stronger if becomes. Be careful not to allow the watered coffee to boil.
 "A favorite mixture of coffee,' says Miss Corson, in answer to a lady in the audience, "is Mocha and Java. in the proportion ot two parts of the latter, which is less ex- pensiye, to one of the former"

WINTER PRUNING.
The Right and the Wrong Way of Prun-
ing Orchards in Cold Weather.

The Right and the Wrong Way of Pruns
ing Orchards in Cold Weather.
An apple orchard which has been
well managed from the beginning,
needs very little pruning afterward.
Needless shoots are rubbed off as soon
as they. make their appearance, with a
tenth of the labor required subsequently
for their removal with the saw But
this timely work is not always per-
formed, and many trees have become
dense in their tops. 1t is advisable in
such instances to thin them moderately,
and gradually in successive seasons. 1t
is common to cut too much at time.
But greater fault is to thin the interi-
or and leave the outside as thick as
ever. This mass of brush excludes the
sunlight, the tWigs and leaves are small
and crowded, and as a consequence the
fruit is small and defective. The tree
being made taller by this treatment,
and the branches successfully run up to
a height, the fruit is more difficult to
gather, and the windfalls are bruised in
falling. The proper course is to thin in
from the outside, to let the sun in to
every part. Every portion of the head,
and not the outside merely, thus re-
ceives the benefit of the suns rays, and
the leaves and fruit have room to be-
come fully developed.
There are some details of the work
which can be learned only by expert
ence and by observing the requirements
of trees of different forms and habits of
growth. 1t may be observed, however,
as general rules, that the remaining
branches should be as evenly distributed
through the head as practicable, and
that the limbs be not run out in long,
bare poles, but sufficient side branches
retained to give a good general shape.
1t is well to remember that it is better
to prune too little than too much; and
that pruning can not be successful if
cultivation or top-dressing with man
ure is neglected.
This operation in pruning, when re-
CURED, may be done any time in winter
in regions where there is no danger by
injury by intense cold, wounds always
rendering trees more tender. But there
will commonly be little danger if the
pruning is quite moderate, as it always
should be. In very cold regions it may
be well to defer the work till the APP
proach of spring, but it should be al
ways done before the buds swell, when
pruning would check growth. The
wounds may be protected from rains
and decay with coat of paint. Coaz-

MANURE.
Unlimited Exposure to the Weather Is
Highly Injurious.

Unlimited Exposure to the Weather Is
Highly Injurious.
There IS some difference of opinion as
to protecting manure against rain, wind
and the exhausting effects of the sun.
Doubtless all these have an injurious
influence upon the manure heap, and it
is certainly true that without any
moisture at all from rain it will not be
improved. However this may be, we
are very certain that unlimited exposure
to the weather will prove highly injuri-
Gus to the quality of the manure. A
leading farmer told us some time ago
that he regarded the complete exposure
Of the manure heap through the winter
and until it can be used in the spring
to damage it fifty per cent. In other
words, one load of well-protected
manure is worth two of the exposed.
This seems almost incredible, but it
may not be far from the truth.
There is no question that subject
which so vitality concerns the farmer as
this one of manure, and causes him to
give so much attention to it, possesses
great merit. His straw is not to be
sold, because it is to be converted into
manure. Articles that scarcely pay to
send to the city are nevertheless hauled
there in order that manure may be
brought back as return load; and yet
the whole of the manure gathered is
frequently all the season exposed to the
sun, wind and rain until it is greatly
diminished in value-one halt, accord
ing to the opinion of our agricultural
informant. The trouble is that few
really believe that exposed manure I'M
dergoes this serious loss. Hence, in ar
ranging buildings and we know
of many that are so arranged-it will
pay well to look as much to the
preservation of the manure as of the
hay or grass; and those whose buildings
have no provision for this purpose can
not spend twenty-five to fifty dollars
better than in putting up shed under
which the manure may be protected
against those adverse influences. Ger

Cotton satteens, Etc.

The satteens for the next season have
less pronounced colors and designs than
those ofpast years, and have less of that
gloss which disappears with the first
washing, depending more for their
beauty on their fine closely woven text

solid color, with the leaf or daisy pat
tern raised in the weaving, closely copy
brocaded silks, while others have tap
estry designs in colors that initiate the
cross stitches of embroidery. The

in charming tints for summer dresses,
and the percales are in the small blocks,
checks and tapestry designs that were
