Australian Schools.

Correspondence of Philadelphia Times.
In New South Wales-and am told that
it is the same in Victoria-there are public
schools parochial schools, grammar schools
and high schools, whose relative degrees cor
respond somewhat with the primary. gram
mar and normal college grades familiar in
the United States. in the public schools each
scholar pays fee of three pence (six centsl
week, and buys all his books for home study.
In the parochial schools each scholar pays
fee of six pence twelve cents) a week and
buys all his working material, the additional
three pence in advance of the public schools
being made, l am told, ITO
keep out the lower class of
children" The grammar schools
require the sum of two guineas 1850 a
quarter and the highschools the same and
higher, according to the number of studies.
These are a few simple facts showing how
expensive good education is in Australia.
Then there is class prejudice also which
obliges all who can afford it to send their
children to any rather than public school.
Mrs. Barrister X, the lady bountiful of
the neighborhood, says: "Oh, yes, our pub
lie schools are most excellent" and sends
her children TO private school. Mr.. A
says ne would send his boys to the public
schools but for the objections of his wife.
Mrs. A objects to the associations and
the being tabooed by society. Mrs. McC-.
the wife of a retired sheep-shearer, has no
children to send. but refers to the public in
situations as ''paupers' schools" and the
Australian boy of the period calls them
''three-penny pubs"

Orchard Work in June.

Much may be done in the way of ''antici-
pated pruning" by going among newly
planted trees and rubbing off all shoots that
appear where branches ere not wanted. By
doing this now, the trouble of saving off
large branches some years later will be
avoided. Crafts that were inserted this
spring. and are beginning to grow, should
be treated as if they were young trees and
brought into proper shape by judicious
pruning. If one bud on graft takes the
lead of all the others, stop IL by pinching.
In short, treat a graft as if it were a young
tree planted in the soil, instead of being
planted in another tree. If shoots appear
upon grape vines where they are not wanted,
remove them. II an old vine has
been severely prunned, numerous buds
will start upon the old wood. These are gen.
orally not wanted and should be broken off
as soon as they appear. This will be lively
month with insects. The curculio attacks the
plums soon after the fruit is set. Earring the
trees and catching the fallen insects upon
sheets spread upon the ground is the only
effective remedy. Plant-ice often appear in
great numbers at the ends of the branches of
cherry peach and other fruit trees. If these
can be bent down and dipped into strong
OF reach, syringe them with kerosene emul-
sion. This Is so generally useful as an in
sectlcide on plants that we repeat it here:
Stir Kerosene with half as much milk until
no oil is visible; then dilute with twelve
times ils bulk of water. This will kill almost
all insects without in Jury to the plants.

The Cheviot sheep, writes correspondent
of the Country Gentleman, are natives OF
Cheviot hills OF Scotland, where they are
herded in large numbers and tenderly cared
for be the shepherds. On these bleak high
lands they can look down on the lOwlands
and see their twin sisters, the Leicesters, who
which are always housed in winter, and fed
on turnips and grain, while they, the Che
viots, are content on the wild and rugged
hills, and are never housed, but are left to
face the cold and storms OF that mountain
region; when covered with snow, their only
living is on plant called by the natives Of
that country "friesque." which often grows
to six or seven feet high, and its body and
branches resemble she turnip in taste, 1T be-
ing soft and palatable to this breed of sheep
only. They often commence eating the
lower branches, and follow up the body I'M
til nothing is left; thus they are carried
through the winters Of that country. They
are often called long wool sheep in America
butin Scotland are always called middle
woods. They are large, close-woOl sheep,
with clean white face no tuft of wool ever
grows on the top of the head; their ears
sre long-Often called by the admirers
rabbit ears" nose of Roman type; head
well set up the back; straight
legs both fore and bind, well set apart; body
of barrel shape, always round-a Fat rib
shows a cross of other blood; also a hollow
in the back, back of the fore shoulders,
shows poor breeding They weigh at full age,
rams from 2OO to 800 pounds, and have seen
them weigh 325; ewes at three years old,
175 to $50, If well kept; lambs at four
months old, 100 to $50 pounds. The ewes
are prolifc-almost always drop twins, and
often triplets. In 1878 l mated seven ewes
with very choice ram which | owned at
that time. In the following spring the seven
ewes dropped sixteen lambs and raised them
all. The ewes are always pets, and the kind
shepherd can handle them as ne wishes. This
is why they are so well adapted TO gentle
men farmers. They shear from six to nine
pounds of clean white wool of medium
length. 1t never parts on the back like the
long wool Leicesters. Thus they stand the
cold rain storms better than their sister
breeds.
There are few Cheyiots IN this country.
Take them all in all, they are about the
most profitable sheep the American farmer
ever raised. They can produce more NUT
ton than any other, and if crossed on the
merino or its grades they will get lambs that
will turn to the butcher or dealer at four
months old, and will weigh on an average
from 100 to 100 pounds on common keeping.

OF course it does. The scientific breeder

Abont Raising Dncks.

The Poultry News, Elyria, O.. has this to
say: las it has been demonstrated that
ducks can be raised without ponds, quite an
interest has been created in that direction.
We will, say, however, that only the large
breeds can be so treated. The common pud-
die duck is too active and disconnected in
confinement, and is also too small to give
fair profit for the labor involved. To secure
the best returns they should be sold when
about ten weeks old. They will then weigh
eve pounds each or ten pounds per pair.
They come into market about June aud
July, after the price for chicks have bean
lowered. In marketing them it is best to
dress them, selling the feathers.
The prices depend upon the demand.
In May, if they are fat and
attractive in condition. as much as $3.50 per
pair has been obtained, but such price grad
ually becomes lower until eighteen to twenty
cents per pound is secured. Mr.. Rankin
states that his average price for young ducks
was twenty-five cents per pound for the
entire year. Old ducks no not bring more
than half that sum late in the season.
Ducks grow very fast and require frequent
feeding. For that reason they should be fed
often, and the more nourishing the food the
better. Give them soft food the first month,
with grain, and plenty of grass and meat.
Ducks are very voracious, which induces
some TO suppose that they are Improbable,
but no feed is lost They make up for it in
rapid growth, and the cost of the food need
not exceed five cents per pound.
