A NEW BREED CT SHEEc.-The French.
stock raiscrs are Just now engaged in in
Producing iato France from China, a
breed OF sheep that il entirely Lew 10
European countries at least. They are
called the Ysng-ti sheep. The French
Goyeram-nt has received consignment
of these sheep and has placed them III
good hands for tho purpose Of testing
their value. A full grown ram weighs
l45 pounds, and ewes at fifteen months
OF age will weigh from ITO to lis pounds;
they make rapid growth. The flesh is Of
good quality. and the development Of the
animal is sufficiently rrecucious to lead
to the conclusion that it might become a
valuable mutton.sheep. on account Of its
wonderful fecundity. Twice a year these
ewes Produce three to five lambs, four
bling the ordinary number. The ewes
are remarkable mixers. and their fecun.
dity. together with their milking quail
ties, suggests that this would be profit
able breed. where the raising Of lambs
for market is an industry. We believe
that our country ought to have the best
breeds the world can produce in every
part Of our live stock development.

How to Select a Melon.

A good melon can be selected without cut
ting it. There are several methods in vogue.
One is to look for heavy melon, because it is
supposed to be full Of meat and is not green
and pithy; another is to press the melons and
select the one which cracks internally another
is the played out theory that any good melon
can be determined by humping; yet another
is to run the finger nail over the surface: the
outer cuticle Of the melon. if ripe, viii peel
off readily; pressing with the thumb is an al
legged excellent method; the green melon is
spongy and soft; the ripe melon is solid;
but the best way is to take your melon to
an analytical chemist and have him deter
mine the amount Of saccharine matter. II the
per cent. is large, it probably hes been
good melon. Some people are content to
take their melon to physician and have
it p:obed Still Others buy cantelopes instead
at fifteen and twenty-five ceu;s each.-In
