HOW IRAISE SHEEP F..

This was the topic of a successful
wool-grower at the late meeting of the
Iowa live stock men, and it is to be
said that essentially the same treatment
answers for East and West. He said
II would prefer pure bred stock. but as
that is expensive, usually get grades
and breed up, for it takes but short
time 70 breed up a good flock. have
always used pure bred merinO bucks,
being convinced that for profit, where
sheep aIe kept in flocks of one hundred
or more, there is no equal to the merinO
and its crosses. I aim to have lambs
dropped about the time grass comes in
the spring. l want lambs early, yet not
before there is pasture enough that the
ewes will have plenty Of milk. L keep
a close watch, and if lamb is dropped
unless it is warm weather. see that
it goes to the stable at once, and, as
soon as possible, see that it sucks, after
which no further care is needed, except
in storms. 1 wean lambs by September
first. During the summer l know OF
nothing better than good blue grass,
and that kept pretty short, as sheep do
not like long grass. 1 never feed grain
in summer, yet, when pasture is short.
I think little grain would pay. feed
lightly at first in the fall, but by the
time winter sets in aim to give full
/ feed Of about one bushel of corn to one
/ hundred head per day, with plenty OF
hay. While on dry feed in winter, 1t is
4 important that sheep should have plen-
ty Of water. When the cold fall rains
commence they should be kept dry. as
no sheep will thrive when its coat OF
wool is soaked full of water. Good care
and shelter are just as important as
water and good feeding, for a sheer

two pounds more per fleece than wheT

THEN AND NOW.

''The golden age of the great Eliza
beth, - appears!but bare and poor when
contTasted with our own. Women
servants were paid about three dollars
a year, besides one dollar for clothing,
and meat and drink. Most of the gen
try gave their servants but ore sub
stantial meal day.
The houses of farmers and mechan-
les were still, for the most part, huts.
without chimneys the smoke escaped
by doors and windows, after it had well
blinded the inmates. Even the great
palaces, as the French ambassador re-
ported, were without carpets, THE
floors being covered with rusbes, which
remain for months, receiving mud
bones and grease from the table; and
filth of every kind, until the stencil and
vermin in these great houses are insup-
portable" " The plague which ragged
in England in those days was due to
the uncleanly condition of the houses.
Strada gives an account of the wed
ding of the son of Archbishop Parker to
the daughter of the Bishop of Chiches-
ter, which contrasts oddly with the
magniicence and cost of a marriage
in the United States.
/ 1.-THE bride had with her as a dover
a gelding; for her apparel ten pounds;
/ Of her own stock, twelve pounds; and
of table linen, one damask cloth and
/ one towel, two pillow bears, two long
/ cushions, one silver salt and standing
/ cup, and, when they rode to see heI
mother, ten pounds in money"
Napkins and table-cloths were seldom
used; forks were almost unknown.
/ Even the gentle Lady Jane Gray made
! her breakfast on ''swine-flesh and ale, >
cutting and tearing the meat by the aid
/ OF knife and her fingers.
When we contrast this bare, coarse
/ life which the luxury Of our own days,
the countless appliances with science
art and wealth have brought from every
quarter of the globe into an American
home, we are apt hastily to call ours
the age of civilization.
Yet the genius of Shakespeare and the
wisdom of Bacon grew out of that
poor outward life; the finest flower OF
English literature blossomed in it, and
men and women found in it what the
people of the present who have dainty
fare and soft clothing do not possess
good health generally.

TO MOTHERS.
Keep up a standard Of principles ;
your children are your judges.


Keep up a standard of principles
your children are your judges.
Remember that trifles to you are
mountains to them; respect their feel
ings.
If you say no, mean no. Unless you
have a good reason for changing given
command, hold to it.
Bear in mind that you are largely re-
sponsible for your child's character, and
be patient with them.
Take an interest in your children's
amusements; mothers share in what
pleases them is a great delight.
Be honest with them in small things
as well as in great. If you cannot tell
them what they wish to know, say SO
rather than deceiye them.
AS long as it is possible, kiss the
! children goodnight after they are in
| bed; they like it, and it keeps them
very close.
If you have lost a child, remember
that for the one that is gone there is no
more to do ; for those left, everything.
Make your boys and girls study physi-
/ olOgy; when they are i'll try to make
them comprehend why, how the COM
| plant arose, and the remedy so far as
| you know it.
Impress upon them from early infan-
! cY that their actions have results, and
/ that they cannot escape consequences
even by being sorry when they have
/ done wrong.
Respect their little secrets if they
have concealments, fretting them will
never make them tell, and time and pa
thence will.
Allow them, as they grow older, tC
have opinions of their own, make then
Individuals, and not mere echoes.
Find out all their special tastes and
develop them instead of spending time
money and patience in forcing them int
studies that are entirely repugnant t
them.
Mothers, whatever else you may teacl
your girls, do not neglect to tain tEen
in the mysteries Of housekeeping. s.
shall you put them in the way of max
ing home happy.
Take your children yourself. if yo
can, to places Of amusement let then
associate you with their enjOyments
when they are parents themselves tn
