Breeding Sheep.

Sheep will not breed at all seasons
of the year, else two crops of lambs
could be had in the cycle. Ewes well
cared for and housed in the winter will
manage to raise three crops of lambs
in two years and two months. From
May until October the eve will not
not breed. Frequently she will not
before November. Merinos seldom
have twins. 1t is the Downs breeds
that multiply the fastest. In looking
over several focks of sheep in Ebert
and Eastern Arapahoe counties quite
lately, we we're more fully convinced
that ever before that it pays to feed
and shelter sheep in the winter time,
and to herd them in smaller focks
than is usual in the summer. One
flock of American Merinos looked at,
had been divided last season, and a
portion of them fed hay and corn
through the winter, while the other
portion of the flock had run out and
grazed with but an occasional days
feed of hay. The wellfed animals OF
the flock will clip on an average four
teen pounds of wool, while the starved
ones will scarcely reach eight.

Married a TweIve-Year-OId Girl.

Fatty Walsh is in trouble. He is g.
Bowery gambler, but that brings no
bother. He is intimately associated
with Jerry Hartigan, keeper of a
Chatham Square dive, but no unpleas-
ant consequences have arisen from
that. 1t is from an official act as
alderman that annoyance comes. In
Fatty's district is an Italian quarter.
There are clumps of Cinnamon, too,
courted for thevotes they possess. In
the heat of Fatty's last campaign he
was called on by wedding party.
The bridal candidate was Rafaella
Tufzo, an Italian girl only little past
II years of age. A curious feature
OF lire among the Italians in New York
is thecostuming CT the children, whose
garments differ only in size from those
of theic parents. Besides wearing the
long skirts of women, the, small girls
are commonly given in marriage at the
age of Shakespeare's Italian Juliet,
that is to say, IA. The parents OF
Rafaella were with her, to give their
consent; the child declared, according
to Fatty's assertion, that she was II,
and the alderman performed the cere-
mony in the happiest manner hecould
command. He handed back q prof
fered 81 note to the bridegroom,
wrapping it In enough of his own ballots
to supply the entire Italian vote OF
the ward. But the childwife soon
went to the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children in flight from
her husband, and that organization
began O. lawsuit to annul the marriage.
The supreme court has just granted
the motion, "and if the penal code
permits says Judge Van Brunt, 81
will have every person who had any
thing to do with the outrage indicted"
In view of the custom of very early
marriage among the Italians, how
ever, and the mature aspect of their
small girls, Alderman Walsh is deemed
excusable. But the anti-cruelty socie-
ty will now undertake to break up the
practice of marrying under the statu-
tory age of Ia.

PLANTS derive from the atmosphere
from niney-hve to nlne-nine per cent.
of their entire mass.
DON'T be too ambitious in laying out
your garden. 1t is mistake to have
the garden so large that it cannot be
we'll cared for. The error is g. common
one.
IT is known that 'fthe presence of
oxygen is an indispensable requisite to
the sprouting seed, and is possibly the
means of provoking to action the dor

AT least one of the family fruit trees
should be a pear tree. It will bear
fruit every year, will outlive the "old-
est inhabitants" and yield the family
q supply of luscious fruit.
No pruning at all is safer practice
than the putting a sharp knife into the
hands of an ignoramus. It requires
skill and knowledge of varieties and
their peculiarities, which few possess,
to prune apple and pear trees proper
". What would be good treatment
for one variety would be ruinous to
others.
The brown leaves on strawberry
plants are caused by a fungus growth
and are evidence of disease. This fun
gus, unlike most others, thrives in a.
high temperature, and, therefore, some
means of shading the plants is advised
to prevent it. The spread of the fun
gus may be arrested by picking off the
leaves and burning them.
MUCH time on every farm is spent in
doing small jobs, and if proper con-
veniences for these are not furnished,
the time wasted is so much clear loss.
A good farmer will try to have stock,
grain, hay, and roots, with water, ali

under one roof. This enables him to
do the work with the least possible
labor, and gives more time for neces-
sary improvements.
A FEW years ago setting hedge fences
was q popular mania In many parts
OF the West. There is less of this
now, and many old hedges would be
gladly gotten rid of if it did not in
volve SO much labor. The hedge fence
kills out In spots during severe win
tiers, it's roots fill the ground for some
distance on either side, and it requires
too much labor to keep it ingood con-
dition.
ONE thousand pounds of dry corn
cobs will burn down to four and q half
pounds of ash, and of this two and a.
half pounds will be pure potash. The
fact that cows often like corn cobs
may be due to the potash they con-
tain, and which may serve to correct
dlsordered digestion. Corn cobs also
contain about two pounds of nitrogen
to LOCO dry cobs, but this is of
course, lost by burning.
IF judiciously used the farm roller
may be made Of much greater service
than merely leveling uneven surfaces.
That would be accomplished by roll
ing as soon as the seed was sown. By
waiting until the grain is up another
object is accomplished. Theridges that
project above the plants are broken
into fine filth and compacted about
the roots. This is the best possible
cultivation for oats and harley.
THE low price OF hax-seed is causing
it's more general use for stock-feeding.
Much care is needed in it's use, as it is
very laxative, and it fed in too large
quantities may cause too open d con-
dition of the bowels. In small guam
titles it is excellent for any stock.
Fed to COWS or horses, with cut-straw,
it will do no injury, but rather good,
as it helps to counterfeit the two con-
stipating character of the less nutri-
tiOus feed

Something About the SKUNK.

The skunk, like the crow, is general
ly hated by the farmers and by farm
ers' boys, yet / find that even the
skunk has friends, who claim that it is
g. 'useful" animal The intense oder
of the skunk is oppressive, and 1t
makes its presence known in a way
that is unique and searching. Thegood
housewife only thinks of it as the dis
seminator of an unequaled odor that
throws into the shade Lubin's best, or
the dense and multifarious doors of
the famed Cologne water, or even those
of the delectable Chicago River in mid
summer. While the fragrance of the
skunk is sui generis and over-power-
ing, it is not so damaging to health as
that from sewers, sinks, neglected po-
tato bins and cabbage pits. Judging
the latter from odor alone, they must
be condemned more surely than the
odoriferous skunk. We know the
uses of potatoes and cabbages, and
think of their good qualities. But not
so with the skunk. Let us see if we
cannot afford to endure them on the
farm, and allow them an occasional
chicken or duck for change of diet.
The skunk is pre-eminently an in
sectivorous animal He diligently
pursues his calling at night, where in
sects are most ABUNDANT, and when
his enemies, dogs and men, are asleep.
He devours even the Colorado potato
| bug (Decem Lineaia), and finds rich
morsel in the strawberry grub
! (Lachonestra) He makes hearty
meals on cut worms, and gorges him
self with white grubs, the larva of the
May beetle, which he roots after in
the loose sod or the decaying hay or
straw about the stock yards. He
plows through the litter and leaves
gathered in the hooks and corners OF
| the fields, which are the coverts and
| breeding places of the myriads of
chinch bugs. He reaches millions of
enemies in secluded places which man
cannot reach with the pillow, or rake,
or fire. We may clear the litter and
trash from our fields, but the corners
and tence-rows harbor the enemy we
try to destroy. A kind Providence
has sent to our aid this half-domestic
animal, that seems to increase, like
the Norway rat, in populated districts,
and for the common reason that his
food is more abundant there. I wish
I could see some like compensation in
the presence of the rat, but science has
not yet revealed it, and American
civilization has not, like Chinese, found
use for it. The skunk, unlike the rat,
pays as he goes.

wonder how the men who live in
some of the uptown fats get home
late at night, or do they all 60 home
early? The chances of stroll took
me last evening among some streets
on the West Side almost solidly lined
with apartment houses of the modest
ly handsome order. They seemed to
be built by dozens together on the
same plan, out of the same material,
with the same porches, the same finish
from basement to cornice; and am
ready to make my affidavit that I be-
came bewildered by merely super
hcial survey of their prevailing Siam
ese-twin likeness. Do their wives hang
signals out for late home-comers, or
have they private marks by which
their doors may be identified?

Rabbit-Hunting with Locomotives.
from the Portland oregonianl

From the Portland Oregonian.l
The story of the locomotive engineer
stepping out on 5he cow-catcher of his
engine and picking up the wandering
child who is about to be run over has
become so common that it has lost its
startling effect. The engineers on the
Baker City branch of the Oregon Rail
way and Navigation Company are
training themselves for something
ell and startling in this style of thing,
and will soon be able to gather in q
whole flock of sheep or kindergarten
while running at full speed. The
country through which this road
runs abounds in jack rabbits.
These long-eared, long-legged ami
mails take great delight in rae
ing with the locomotives, espe-
cially at night, when they get on the
track and sail away in the glare of the
headlight. They will not jump the
track, and they hold their own very
we'll for a while, but the locomotive
has the biggest lungs and the rabbits
wind gives out first. AS soon rs le be-
gins to weaken the fireman gets out
on the pilot, and inst as the painting
fugitive is about to pass under the en-
CINE he is snatched from the jaws OF
death in the most approved style.
After considerable practice at this g.
man can pick up whole drove of
rabbits hand-running. Firemen who
have not the opportunity for this kind
of exercise cannot expect to be so
skillful in gathering in children as the
boys on the Baker City branch.

Or in the barn to thrash sirs,

For, like tavern waiting man,
AT every call he's coming.
Now here, now there, must he repair
Or starve, sirs, by denying;
Like death itself-unhappy elf
He lives by others dying.

Much like hunted otter:
For twixt his own and others strife,
He's always in hot water.
For foe or friend his cause defend,
However wrong, must he, sir,
In reasons spite, maintain his right
And dearly earn his fee, sir.
Then let me live a farmers life
Obtaining while lead it,
Enough for self and some to give
To such poor souls as need it.

To give my land good dressing,

And hope for heavens blessing.

From the Whitehall Review, London.l
Mr.. B0LD0N'S EXPEDIENT.

81 am fairly dished-ruined- done
for. I had better order my coffin while
I can pay for It." This was the sad
soliloquy OF James Boldon, solicitor
and notary public, as he sat alone in
his Office IN High Street, Westborough,
one October morning.
And truly James Boldon's position
was not a happy one. Hewas a young
man, lately admitted as solicitor,
and he had spent all his little capital
to no purpose IN trying to make a prac-
tice for himself In the town of West
borough.
He was almost a stranger In the
town, and, although he had been there
nearly q year he had hardly succeeded
In making an acquaintance, much less
In gaining clients. The report that
there was can opening" in the place,
on the strength of which he had come
there, had proved to be entirely falla-
cious. The town was just large enough
to hide him. 1t was in vain that he
went regularly to St. Augustine's Mis-
sion Chapel, in the hope of having his
name put on the building committee
of the new church; in vain that he
frequented lat proper hours) the
billiard-room of the new Royal Hotel;
in vain that he seduously attended the
county court and the police court with
glazed black bag that held nothing
but g. newspaper and one or two law
books. Business would not come to
him. Nobody knew him, and nobody
cared to know him.
There was, indeed, one man who
h IrhT IF h0 hod
had any business whatever, have
editor of the Westborough Independ-
emit. The young lawyer had made tue
acquaintance of Mr.. Vim over the
billiard table. But OF what use was it
to have the means OF getting a fatter-
ing notice In the newspaper when there
was absolutely nothing to notice?
It was nearly IL o'clock. James
Boldon had been looking over his led
ger, and even his sanguine disposition
failed him, as he marked the state OF
things there disclosed. He rose from
the table with g. groan, put on his hat
and, telling his solitary Office boy (who
was improving his time by boring
holes in the lid of his desk) that be
would not be in until after lunch, be
sailed forth into the street.
Not having any particular object in
view, he thought he might as well &C
to the railway station and get Lon
don paper, and thither he directed his
steps.
After buying his paper, Boldon OBJ
served on the platform the station
master, whom he knew by sight, en-
gagged in an angry alteration with ar
elderly man, who looked like farm
laborer. A little crowd surrounded
the disputants, and Boldon sauntere6
up to see what was the matter.
GA tell'ee' a'vecoom from Lamborne
an all pay no more" said the man.
'<You must pay your fare from Lon
don all the same" returned the sta
tion-master, angrily. sHere's the by

DE sOrO's LAST DREAM.

On shadowy plain where cypress groves
And sweeping palm trees rise,
And the antlered deer swlft-footed roves,
The brave De Soto lies
They have made him bed where overhead
The trai ing moss entwines
With the leaves of the campion-hower red,
And cleaning Ivy vines.
Over his fevered forehead creeps,
From the cedar branches high,
The wind that sleeps in the liquid deeps
OF the changeless Southern sky.
And the Mssissippi's turbid tide,
Broad and free, flows past.
Like the current wide, on which men glide
To another ocean vast
He dreams OF the days in sunny Spain
When heart and hope were strong,
And he hears again on the trackless main
The sound of the sailors song.
Now with the fierce Pizarro's band
To WELD the sword anew,
He takes command on the golden sand
Or the shores of proud Peru.
And northward, now, from Tampa Bay,
With glittering spear and lance,
With pennons gay and horses neigh,
His cohorts brave advance.
Again, as the glittering dawn awakes
From it's dreams of purple mist,
BY the stoed priest he kneels and takes
IH0 hOly EuCudEISG.
And the echoing woods and boundless skies
Are hushed to soft cOntert,
As the strains of the old TIE Deum rise
On new continent.
Again he sees in the thicket damp,
By the light of chastity moon,
The crocodile, foul from his native swamp,
Plunge in the dark lagoon.
Again DER the wild savannas flee
Is fQ4aff hQ 6Qar
And the curleWs scream, from tree to tree,
Their strange, wild notes of fear.
Over the rich magnolia blooms,
Floats meath the evening skies,
Drunk with their soft and sweet perfumes,
The bird of Paradise.
The wild macaw on her silken nest
Mid the orange blossoms white,
From her scarlet breast and golden crest
Flashes the MONDAY light.
In the waving grass on the yucca spires
Flowers of pallid hue
Blend with the erythrinas fires
And the starry nixia's blue.
The rich gordonia blossom swells
Where the brOoklet ripples by,
And the silvery white halesia bells
Reflect the cloudless SKY.
And Southern MOSES. soft and brown,
With cleaning ivies Irvine,
And heavy purple blooms weigh down
The wild wistaria vine.
Now on his bold Castilian band
The native warriors press,
From their haunts in the traekless prairie lar
and the unknown wilderness.
And the flame he has kindled CLEANS again
On his sword of trusty steel,
As he burns, mid the yells of savage men,
Their village of Mobile.
Like the look of triumph DER victories won
That dying conquerors wore,
Or the light that bursts from the setting sun
On some wild rugged shore;
The fire of hope lights up anew
The brave adventurous brow,
roseate f1ash-then deaths dull hue,
And his dream is over now.
So on the plain where cypress groves
And spreading palm trees rise,
And the antler6I ueer swift footed rOveS,
The brave De Soto dies.
