Sheep Notes.

All the varieties of wool produced in the
world are equally producible in the United
States.
There is too much inferior and too little
superior wool produced to satisfy the de-
;iiandS of trade.
The clean, long-fbered heeces are the ones
sought after by the manufacturers, and
which command the highest prices in the
markets.
The manufacturers of wooden goods in this
country have to go abroad for S0,000.O0O
pounds OF wool because enough is not grown
in this country. There ought to be good
future for the sheep husbandry In the
United States.
In feeding sheep the more the feed can
be varied the better results will be obtained.
Sheep husbandry is steadily declining in
France, the present number of sheep and
lambs in that country being less by about
100000 than it was few years ago.
Sheep should be kept in small fiocks dur
ing the winter. and be fed In racks and
troughs. This will prevent them tramp
ling and befouling their food and even
muSsing it over, and it will be found as
consequence that they will eat it up cleaner
and do much better
A Missouri farmer has a flock of 1000
sheep that averaged eight pounds of wool
per head. That is certainly good flock of
sheep; but there is no reason why there
should not be many more equally as good.
There is no need in any farmer keepinp
flock of sheep which will not yield him over
four or five pounds of grade Merino wool.
Such flock cannot be profitable, except ON
the cheap lands of the West.

Heavy Sheen.

The Oxford Down sheep is decidedly the
largest, most symmetrical and hardest of all
the class of sheep we now have in this
country. says Mr.. Sunman in the Western
Agriculturist. The lambs attain weight
at very early age that is almost beyond
belief; it is no uncommon thing for lambs
at so days of age to weigh As pounds, and
at 100 days old weigh over 100 pounds, aud
sell in the market for more money per head
than any lambs. AS yearlings they attain
a weight from $50 to 225 pounds and clip
fleece weighing from 9 to Is pounds. The
ewes are most extraordinary breeders, pro-
ducing almost always twins. and triplets
are by no means rarity. They are good
suckers, as IL is easily seen by the growth
the lambs attain. This is pure-bred sheep
that the above is written about, while the
rams bred upon common ewes produce re-
rults almost beyond belief

Down with Fraudulent Bntter.

For twelve years the manufacture and
sale of counterfeit butter has been steadily
increasing. Begun in New York with the
use of beef fat, it has extended to every
principal city in the country, and lard has
become the principal article of its produc-
ton. The traffic has grown to hundreds of
millions of pounds annually, and new es
adjustments are springing up daily. A
market has only been found for the stuff
through fraud and deception of the most
criminal character. 1t has been shown
that not per cent. of the entire amount
consumed from the beginning until now
has been sold under its own name. 1t has
been disposed of for genuine butter. at the
price of the natural article, and the public
swindled in a leading article of food. While
the dairymen have had to meet this kind OF
dishonest competition. By this dishonesty
and greed of manufacturers and dealers,
the consumers of butter in every city of
America and Europe are cheated and hum
plugged, and butter makers from Maine to
California ruined in their business. Year
after year the friends of the farmer have
hoped to see the evil decline: stringent laws
have been passed by the legislatures of the
different states; but in the face of all effort
and regardless of all laws the outrage
against producer and consumer continues
and its proportions increase. Dozens of
new factories for the manufacture of the
stuff are now being established and the nat
ural product of the dairy, after selling for
months much below the cost of production.
has declined at period of the year when
the production decreases, and prices always
adv ance Genuine butter is now third
less in price than it was a year ago. But
ter makers have improved their product
nearly so per cent. in the past five years by
adopting new methods and employing the
utmost skill, only to find ruin before them.
Dairying, which was one of the greatest in
dustries of the nation and chief source of
its prosperity and hope, is now being de-
stroyed. to the deteriment of every one.
Dairy farms and milk cows have declined
in value nearly 80 per cent, which repre-
sents loss to the people of the United
States equal to half the cost OF the civil war.
The same loss in trades or manufactures or
Transportation would have produced panic.
But this falls upon the neglected farmer,
who. doing all and suffering all, must sub
nit quietly to fate for government has not
been for him. The public have been pro-
tected in everything but food, where most
protection is needed. and the time has come
when the farmers interested in growing

Deprayed Taste.

The art of butter making will never
reach perfection until we stop putting salt
in the butter, says the American Dairy
man. 1t is depraved taste that requires
salt taste in butter. The most critical
judges in the old country never think of
allowing salt to come near the butter, and
after getting accustomed to it there is all
the difference between the two that there
is between salt and fresh fish, flesh or
other dried or prepared food. The true
epicure could eat pound of unsalted but

How to Make Hens Law.

The Ohio Farmer has the following:
''Put two or more quarts of water in a
kettle, and one large seed pepper or two
small ones. then put the kettle over the fire.
When the water boils stir in coarse Indian
meal until you have thick mush. Let it
cook and hour or so; feed hot. Horse-rad-
ish chopped fine and stirred into mush as
prepared in the above directions, and for
result we are getting from five to ten eggs
per day: whereas, previous to feeding, we
had not had eggs for long time. We hear
a good deal of complaint from other people
about not getting eggs. To such we would
warmly recommend cooked food fed hot.
Boiled apple SKINS seasoned with red pep
per, or boiled potatoes, seasoned with horse
radish, are good for food; much better than
uncooked food. Corn, when fed to the hen
by itself, has tendency to fatten rather
than to produce the more profitable egg lay
ing. a spoonful of sulphur stirred into
their feed occasionally will rid them of
vermin and tone up their systems"

Bogus Butter.

The St. Louis butter and cheese men are
after the bogus butter men. At meeting
held at the merchants exchange recently,
nearly every firm in the city dealing in that
class of goods was represented. Last year
the butter men here were divided, one party
wanting the privilege of selling the bogus
stuff as in other Cities while the other
wanted it banished from the markets en-
tirely. This year they all united and Or
ganized into one society opposed to the sale
of bogus butter in the city. The new asso-
citation will at once begin prosecuting auy
who may attempt to sell it. The new law
in Missouri imposes penalty on anyone
who may place the butter on the table be-
fore guests without marking the dish plainly
with the name of which it contains. 1t is
said Chicago firms have taken orders here
for their product, and it is thought some of
it is already here on sale.

Glover as a Renovator.

Taking all things into consideration,
clover is at the head of the list of all plants
used for renovating the soil.
it belongs to family famous for their
beneficial effect on the soil.
1t can be grown with crop of small
grain without any special preparation of
soil for it, and at small cost. as from six
to ten pounds of seed is sufficient for an
acre.
1t isa cleansing crop. as it usually shades
the soil so that no weeds can grow, and
at the same time it furnishes the right con-
ditions to cause their seeds to terminate
and then smothers the young plants in their
infancy.
Its long tap roots penetrate far below the
reach of the pillow, and bring up valuable
plant food and make it available, and when
all the foliage is used for hay or PASTURE
there is still large amount furnished by
the decay of the roots. -e,,---
No other plant in common use on our
farms has so good mechanical effect on
the soil, rendering stiff soils mellow and
easily worked, and opening them to the in
huenceS of the sun and air.

toos, which stick out beyond their much

crescent-shaped gorgets of pearl shell

The natives of New Guinea, except
the few who have more or less frequent
communication with white men, are
still in the stone age. Their principal
instrument is a greensboro adze. They
fashion armlets of shells by marking a
line on the surface of the shell of suita-
BILE size and tapping it with stone till
a circular piece is detached. This is
then smoothed down at the edges and
polished. Near East Cape large axes
of greensboro are used. An acceptable
present is knife, or, still more, a
tomahawk. Cotton cloth is accepted,
but as yet it has little value in ex-
change. Tobacco, called by the natives
tu-ku, is much liked, and payment for
services is generally made in it. A
four and q alfpence knife and meal
OF yams, rice or sage will generally
purchase one days labor; a piece of
tobacco about an inch long and less
than half an inch wide should also be
given as a gratuity. Port MoreSby Cor.

road.
Mr.. d. L. Gaskin, a well known
citizen of that village, writes under
date of December %:
Soon after my marriage, about
four years ago, my wife was stricken
with some trouble peculiar to her
sex, which broke down her general
health. In this condition she was
soon after attacked with Infammato-
ny rheumatism of such severe type
that it made her cripple. She was
reduced in flesh to sixty-five pounds,
and came very near losing her life.
She was attended by three good ply
sicians whostreated her with some
benefit, but the swelling III her joints
never left her. Last summer the
rheumatism returned in still more
severe and painful form which seemed
to defy the skill of all the doctors.
She would almost go frantic with
pain, and would lie and scream all
day. A friend of mine, who is an
engineer on the Brunswick & Alba
ny railroad, suggested thatI should
use Swift's Specific Is. S. S., which
did. After she had taken one small
bottle she was up and able to walk
over the house, and after taking the
six small bottles she is now able to
do any kind of house work; the
swelling has gone, all the pain has
lett her, and she is in better health
than she ever was. The treatment
before using Swift's Specific cost me
between $3.50 and $500, and the six
bottles Of S. S. S. cost me six dollars.
1t is certainly the most wonderful
medicine and the best blood purifier
in the world. The proprieters should
let the world know aboutit.
