MerinOs for Mutton.

Skilled English housewives choose %
cent Welsh mutton in preference to 1S
cent mutton. of large, fat carcasses. ow-
ing to the greater economy Of using the
small, compact carcasses of the solid little
Welsh sheep, and their superior quality.
An enthusiastic owner OF 1907 900 sheep in
California says the Saxony Merinos. the
smallest OF all Merinos, make the finest
mutton in the world. Australians declare
that the Merino makes better mutton, with
them, than the larger English races. The
finest mutton we ever tasted was from the
small. compact, hardy mountain sheep of
Scotland. The mutton brings the highest
price In London markets. And we'll it
may, for it has that delicate flavor that
savors of fine heritage and mountain air.
The reason tor this is probably that small
size, compactness and fine flavor. are the
necessary accomplishments of life on
hills and mountains. A rugged pasture is
unsuited to the development of large, fat
carcasses, while its fine, sweet heritage
makes the choicest of meat, such as cannot
well be produced on richer lands. The
perfect health Of highland sheep has not
a little to do with the quality of the mutton.
The obvious conclusion is that the small
Merinos are well suited to our New Eng
land hills, fact already demonstrated
bv experience.

A Poultry Town.

In the secluded town of Little Compton,
X. l., poultry raising is made specially
by the farmers. Not many are new in the
business, writes a correspondent of the
New England Farmer, and some have
been engaged in it many years. All are
farmers, but the filling of the soil is in the
poultry interest. The largest poultry
farm is 200 acres, of which 80 acres are
devoted to the range of fowls and chicks.
Fifty hens comprise colony and occupy
here they roost and lay. The number of
fowls on this farm is 1900. and is made
up of Plymouth Rocks and Light Brahmas.
One man attends to all and has ample time
The yield of eggs is about 1900 dozen a
month, and they are sent to market twice
a week to Boston. New York and Provi-
dence. as the demand comes. One farmer
receives all the eggs produced in the
neighborhood and sends to market. In
the "busv season" 5000 dozen week is
not unusual. The food in summer is corn,
wheat. barley and other grains; in winter,
cooked food, meal and vegetables, with
beef scraps and ground bone The cost
per fowl is about one dollar per year and
the profit on each is also about one
dollar. Feathers find ready market
at 8 or II cents per pound. During
the year 1884, the price of eggs received
by the farmers averaged % 1-2 cents per
dozen. On the large farm the hen as an
egg hatcher has been discarded. Four ar
tificial incubators had produced before the
first of June 1900 chicks. Artificial brood
ers are also used. Fifty to seventy-five
per cent OF fertile eggs were hatched
The unfavorable weather in the early
spring reduced the average lower than
that OF last year. A man who understands,
can give all attention necessary to an in
cubator in 80 minutes daily. Goslings
and ducks are Matched by incubators and
the result is satisfactory. About 80 stock
geese are kept, from which are raised an
nually 500 to 600 green geese for market.
The geese are fattened in pens, and the

has no music in 1t mile away. The cot
tage of the superintendent, however. is
near the goose pens. but like the man who
lived next door to n steam gong, he is not
disturbed by the uproar. A professional
goose plucker can strip 20 geese a day.
He is armed with leather thumb and a
sharp bladed knife. This may seem in
credible to the farmer who raises few
geese for Thanksgiving. when the whole
family may spend day or two in remov-
ing most of the feathers from one goose.

Winter Pork,

November and December is no the time
to make pork. Summer feeding makes
the meat; the corn feeding in fall and
early winter only finishes it off. The Mid
land Farmer says that clover, the grasses,
grains and roots, fed literally, not waste
fully. give the assimilating power and
build up the solid framework; the corn
only puts tat into the tissues formed now
to receive them. Change in diet and sur
roundings is essential to health and best
results; hence, when feeding largely,
several lots or ranges are most profitable.
When each lot can raise different crop,
and the hogs changed at intervals from
one to another, there is much gained, and
hand feeding reduced TO its minimum

heads with little straw. and reverse
the burrows, blowing around the row three

Last winter we succeeded in keeping the
Hubbard squash until April by storing
them in basement room that was warmed
only from q steam-pipe which passed
through it to heat the room above. In
many houses a chamber on the second
floor will be found better place than the
cellar for keeping squashes. The temp
erature may fuctuate little below the
freezing point at times without damage.
Onions should be kept in the coolest
part of the cellar, or perhaps better in an
out building, guarded from frost by
layer of straw above and below them.
The bulbs are not injured by moderate
degree of freezing. provided they are not
disturbed while frozen.-Our Country

Keeping Vegetables.

The quality of vegetables in winter de-
ponds much upon their freshness. If they
are permitted to wither by exposure TO a
dry air, much of their crispness and flavor
is lost. The two essentials are to keep
them from freezing and from drying. The
former requisite is easy to all who have
good cellars. the latter requires the exer-
else of little more knowledge and care.
Roots are. perhaps, best preserved by
packing them in moist sand or loan. and
storing in a place that is too cool for
them to sprout. Cabbages intended for
early Winter use. may be hung by their
roots to the joists of the cellar. For later
use. good plan is to pack the heads in
box with alternate layers of cut straw,
placing the box in the coolest part of the
cellar or in an out building where the

ALICE CARY's SWEETEST POEM.

Among the beautiful pictures
That hang on memory's wall,
Is one of dim old forest
That seemeth the best of all.
Nor for Its gnarled oaks Oiden,
Dark with the mislletoe,
Not for the violets golden.
That sprinkled the vale below;
Not for the milk white lilies
That lean from the fragrant hedge;
Not for the vine OF the upland,
Where the bright red berries rest,
Not the pink, nor the pale, sweet cowslips,
1t seemed to be the best.
once had little brother,
With eyes that were dark and deep;
In the lap of that olden forest
He lieth In peace asleep.
Light as the down of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
We royed there the beautiful summers,
The summers of long ago.
But his f ct on the hill grew weary,
And one Of the autumn days
made for my little brother
A bed OF the yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
Ny neck in sweet embrace,
As light Of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
And when the arrows of sunset
Lodged in the tree tops bright,
He fell, In his saint like beauty,
Asleep by the gates of light
Therefore, of all the beautiful pictures
That hang on mem0ry's wall,
The one of the dim, old forest
Seemeth the best OF all.
