The attempts to introduce the
American brook trout (salmo fontan-
alis) into English waters have not
been attended with success. During
the last ten ortwelve years thousands
Of fry haveat various times been turn
ed into different waters, but in no in
stance has the fish really been estab-
liahed. Occasionally specimen is
taken here and there, but rs years 60
by there is no perceptihle increase,
while in some waters, which were lib
orally stocked, they have disappeared
altogether.

Horses Without Shoes.

1t may do very well for those who
are inexperienced in the use of horses
to talk of abandoning the process OF
shoeing, but it will not convince those
who are accustomed to draw heavy
loads with this animal that they can be
safely employed without the necessary
foot protection. Even admitting that
during the summer season, when the
soil is soft, horse could be used with
out shoes, to suppose that it could be
safely used when the ground is roughly
frozen and covered with ice is simply
absurd. And the absurdity is increased
in those portions of the country where
the surface is billy. Take for instance
portions of New England, with hills
rising at an angle of forty-fve degrees,
and with seasons of ice as they some
times occur, it would be utterly impossi-
bic for horse to travel with even no
load without shoes having sharp caClks.
Ii Nature did provide feet, it did not
provide for the hauling of heavy loads.

Pages Story of How the Great States
man Led Him by the Ears.
Senator Sumner took quite an inter
est in me, and had an especial fondness
for catching me by the ears. Often have
l attempted to pass the Senator, while
he was walking to and fro on the floor
of the Senate, only to have both my ears
seized good-naturedly, and to be asked
some kindly question / shall always
remember one OF these adventures-fo
it aCGs an adventure! He had sent me
on an errand. Having returned, re-
ported to him the answer, and received
his deep-voiced thanks, l started to
move away, but he had caught me. and
continued his slow march, in front
Indian file. As he was tall man and
| a very small boy in comparison, had
and even then it seemed as If
my ear would come off my head.
The worst of it was that he at
once became so lost in thought that
he forgot he had hold of me, and
mechanically paced up and down,
with his long strides, while 1 danced q
mild war-dance, for some minutes-it
seemed to me hours-to the intense
amusement of all who observed it. The
more l struggled, the more did ] in
crease the agony, but at last managed
to wriggle away from his grasp. The
sudden ''emptiness" of his hand caused
him to realize the state of affairs, and
he begged my pardon so energetically,
and the spectators smiled so audibly,
that the proceedings of the Senate were
interrupted and Mr.. Colfax actually
had to tap with his gavel to restore
order!
But it was, after all, an honor to be
noticed, even in that fashion, by SO dis
tinguished man as Senator Sumner.
He had the widest reputation of any Of
the Senators, and the first question most
visitors to the Senate would ask was:

MUTTON AS FOOD.
Good Mutton More the Result of Feeding
than Breed.

Good Mutton More the Result of Feeding
than Breed.
In the production of good mutton
much more depends upon feeding than
upon the breed. The flesh of well-fed
sheep, of every variety, from the Me
rino to the Downs, is palatable and de-
licious. The reason that Merino mutton
is not better is because of age, bad feed
ing and i'll treatment generally. A
prominent agricultural editor who has
for years said thai Merino mutton was
not fit to eat, was recently presented
with two quarters of pure Merino
which were served upon his table and
received the following comments:
Never, anywhere, or of any breed.
have we tasted mutton more sweet or
tender, and we have eaten the best of
Southdown, thousands of times, upon
its native heath. The mutton was from
four-year-old pure Merino eve, weigh
ing III pounds, and dressing sixty-five
pounds. She was entirely free from
wrinkles and would have sheared eight
cen pounds at the spring shearing. A
sample of her wool was one of the best
we ever saw, showing both length and
quality, and an even texture through
out. No mutton equals chop from
fat, well-fed young sheep"
do not insist that Merino mutton is
as good as that from the strictly mutton
breeds, but do contend that any sheep
will make U000 and nrnfitahla Tnutton
if properly fed and cared for, an item
which will go long way in piecing out
the short profits of wool growing. None
of the objections urged against the use
OF pork can be brought against that of
mutton. 1t has never been known to
lmpart disease to its consumers. Tri-
chime, tape worm and scrofula are pro-
duced by eating other meats. The
sheep abhors mire, and will taste moth
ing that is not clean and eleanly served.
1t is wholly herbaceous, and very neat
in it's habits. Mutton is as wholesome
as any meat, and may be variously pre-
pared for the table. For steady diet it
is superior to pork and costs no more.
have reference to mutton, for in nv
estimation, only those sheep which are
fat and healthy are muttons. Old, de-
crepid, broken-mouthed, foot-diseased
animals, such as fill the general mar
ket, are not fit for food, and do much
to prejudice people against mutton.
The majority of farmers do not kill
sheep once year, because custom has
made the American people great pork

FARM AND FIREsIpE.

Young pigs always sell for good
prices, and return a larger profit in
proportion to cost than hogs.
On pleasant days the cellar win
dows should be opened. Fruit keeps
better if given fresh air and If main
taned at low temperature; the ventila-
ton improves the healthfulness of the
house also.-N. E. Farmer.
Good fiavoring for sauce is made
by putting half an ounce of watercress
seed into one quart of vinegar. The
seed should be crushed before putting it
in, and it will then be soon ready for
use. Celery vinegar is made in the
same way.-M. Y. Post.
Coffee Rolls: Take one quart of
bread dough and mix with it one-half
cup of sugar, one-quarter of cup of
butter, two cups of dried currants;
make into small rolls, dip into melted
butter, place in tins, let rise and bake
The Household.
The cutting of seed to single eyes
is best adapted to drill planting. When
potatoes are put in hills three feet apart
each way, the tops do not cover the
ground sufficiently unless large
amount of seed is put in. The kind
that grow in heap around the stem in
the hill will bear planting every fifteen
inches in drills three feet apart.-M. Y.

Dissolve one pound of copperas in
two gallons of water and add it to one

the fowls a splendid and cheap tonic.

Secure Husband.
Itwould be difficult to imagine more
laughable affair than the elder SCOTS
union with the Marchioness of Sligo.
which was celebrated in the summer
OF 1913, to the inexpressible amusement
OF society" The marchioness made the
offer; she made it in the Criminal Court
of the Old Bailey; she made it on a slip
of paper that was handed to the Judge
by one of the ushers of the stuffY and
even fetid court. Two years earlier
Byron had been fellow traveller in
Greece with the marchioness' youthful
and rather erratic son, where the poet
took occasion to talk more freely than
affectionately about his own mother to
the marquis, who was probably no less
communicative about the peculiarities
of his eccentric parent. The Young
men parted, Byron to rise in an hour to
giddy eminence of fame, the marquis
to put himself within the grip of the
criminal law by Turing into his yacht in
Mediterranean waters two seamen from
one of his Brittanic Maiesty's ships of
war. Tried for his offense at the Old
Bailey by Sir William Scott judge of
the high court of the admiralty and
Lord Marlborough, the marquis was
found guilty. ordered to pay a fine of
$4,000, sentenced to four months i'm
prisonment in Newgate, and compelled
to listen to parental address by Sir
William on the duties and responsible
ties OF young men of high station. The
marchioness drought to the court by
maternal solicitude for her offspringl
was so affected by the Judges admoni-
ton that on the spur of the moment she
sent him the brief note dashed off on a
piece of court foolscap given her by the
clerk of arraigns,) in which she ex-
pressed the wish that her dear boy could
always have so prudent counselor bv
his side. What could the Judge do but
accept the offer made in SO delicate and
hattering manner? The match turned
out no worse than was expected. The
marchioness. of course, repaid her hus-

he had given her son.-Euerg Other
