thinks the hardness OF the ground
beneficial in preventing the hiberna-
ton OF the cooling moth. That NAV
IN a measure help matters, but we
should think it more likely that the
good resulted from the fact that all
apples containing che pupa of the cod
ing moth were eaten by the COWS and
thus effectually stopped from harm
the following season. II all orchards
were made a range for COWS, sheep or
hogs, we should be largely freed from
the cooling moth.
A WRITER in the Indiana Farmer
says: There is no use denying that
interest in sheep raising in the United
States has greatly declined within the
two years past. The general opinion
is that wool growing is no longer a
profitable business, except possibly
where the best methods and the most
favorable conditions prevail. The
chief sources Of profit, therefore in the
handling of the sheep at this time, are
to be had in the production of
superior mutton, and by increasing
the fertility of the lands on which they
are kept. The growing taste among
Americans for good mutton is an en-
couraglng sign to sheep breeders, and
is leading them to renowned efforts
toward Improvement in this direc-
ton.
NICK's MAGAZINE says if one would
have good garden it should be free
from foul seeds. Nine out of ten of
the gardens among farmers are al
lowed to mature crop of weeds the
latter part Of the season, and usually
this IS the result Of carelessness. AZ
ter June, or when such early crops as
peas, lettuce and radishes have ma
tured, no further use is made of the
land, and, as it has usually been ma
tured in the spring, it grows a lusty
crop Of weeds and fills the soil so full
OF seeds as to quadruple the work of
cultivation of such plants as come up
delicately, and which must be kept
clean by hand. The evil OF ripening g.
crop Of weed seeds is not short lived,
for the seeds will remain in the soil for
many years and terminate when the
spring opens.
OUR English cousins can distance
any Yankee in the way of "tricks" in
preparing animals for market. We
learn from the British Agricultural
Gazette that sheep are shorn into
shape and otherwise "fxed up" so as
to make them look very ''taking."
The wool on the back is cut short, and
that on the sides nicely rounded, so as
to make themlook very broad. While
this greatly damages the wool, it adds
much to the good shape and appear
ance OF the sheep. In addition, the
fleece is colored so as to make the
sheep look as it unshorn, and also to
make them look as though fed in diff
ferent districts, as in the London mar
ket it is a well-known fact that the
soils of certain counties impart a dis
tinct color to sheep grazed thereon,
and the favorite colors given artificial
ly to the sheep are those most sought
after

DEATH,

weep not that death has barred his blade
w ana thrust it in the springing corn,
" Iae Oen1dlng stems that droop and fade
lie marks and passes by in scorn.
weep not That some make prayer in Vain
10 death through all the weary DAYS;
hls sickle reaps the MODEST grain,
And leaves the tares beside the WAYS.
Weep not to see his hand appear
And beckon DER the western sea;
The gallant hearts to us so dear,
on death, are dearer still to thee
weep not that strong young spirits lie
OF light and life and love bereft:
Nay, weep not for the good that die,
But for the evil that are left.

How Sick Elephants are Doctored
From the Pail Mall Gazette.l

lHIOu UII0 MALL NdZeUL6.l
A noted trainer of animals has been
giving some usefulinformation respect
ing the elephant Like ourselves,
some elephants are handsome, some
ugly. Like ourselves, as they grow
older their tempers grow worse. 'EDo
they like physic ?" "No, they hate it
just as you or l." care elephants
ever sick?" "Oh, yes! They often have
the collie. When they begin to double
up give 'em dose Of five or six gall
Ions of rum and ginger" remarks
this experienced gentleman. ''That
straightens 'em out. An equal guam
tity Of boiled inseed oil mixed with
aconite and molasses does for physic,
while about five gallons of rum and
whisky are prescribed for chills. Solid
drugs are given in pills. A pill eight
inches in diameter and containing 80
shillings' worth of quinine does the
business for a cold, while a pepsine pill
is given when one gets off his feed.
They don't like the pills as well as the
whisky, and it's a good deal of job
to get them down. The best way is to
put pill on the end of a stick, make
them open their mouths, and shove it
down before they realize the situation.
Sometimes we cut out the middle of a
turnip and put the drugs inside the
vegetable, but, like the bad child in
Sunday-school book, they're very apt
to spit out the core" Elephants are,
indeed, queer creatures, and very like
children in many ways.

Tho Business Outlook.

ut this season of the year the
crop situation % an important factor

ago. when il became know that the
winter wheat crop was TO be an IN
commonly poor one, there was q
feeling of depression among mer-
chants, hut since then there has
| been sucb a marked Improvement in
| spring wheat and in the porspect oil
all other crops that in various bran l.
! cbes OF trade more hopeiulness pre-
walls than for long time past. So
far &C food products are concerned
there will be a supersbundance OF all
kinds for both home consumption
and export, unless so0e calamity
now unlocked !or should occur, while
IN regard to cotton all accounts a.
gree that the crop will be the largest
in the history OF the country. The
Importance OF this cannot be Oysres-
tlmated. II means that wo are ia
have cheap food and cheap clothing
that labor will be more actively
employed and that instead OF gold
leaving the country, which would
make the silver question a source OF
fresh anxiety, we are likely to have
large influx oil the precious metal.
Business men hsve had so little to
encourage them during the past few
years that 1t 70 gratifying to be able

been earning nothing or at most on
