A Lost Art Revived.
From the London Times.


After large number of experiments last
ing over some years the Gre Perdue pro-
cess of casting in metals seems likely to be
revived as an industry in this country. To
those acquainted with the history of metal
workers it is known that this system was
much practiced by Cellini, who cast a num-
Der of large statues by the process, and
among them that of the Medusa, about the
middle of the 10th century. Since then the
art has died out so far as Europe is con-
cerned, but attempts have been made to re-
vive it in France, while Mr.. Gilbert a mem
Der of the Royal Academy, has also made
several experiments. At Frome Messrs. j.
W. Singer & Sons. art metal workers, have
now succeeded in establishing the system as
an industry, having got over the difficulty
of air bubbles, which has hitherto been
thought insurmountable. The object to be
cast is moulded in wax and the wax model
is then covered with matrix of sand; the
mold when set is placed in hot oven, this
melting the wax very gently and allowing
it to run out of the mold. When this has
been done the metal is poured in carefully
and the work is completed. The result is
that not only are there no joints in the cast
ing, inseparable from the use of patterns"
but works of art can be cast that could not
possibly be cast by any other process. In
China and Japan the system has long been
in vogue Labor is cheap in those coun-
tries, however, and even though only one
piece is successfully cast out of a number
the makers are satisfied. This would be
fatal difficulty in country like our own,
but after many trials Messrs. Singer have
hit upon a very simple arrangement by
which the danger of air holes can be re-
duced to a minimum. They have now sue
ceeded in producing large number of works
of art, chiefly vases, table lamps, finger
plates, door handles and paper weights, and
these will this week be placed for inspection
by architects or artists at 3 Duke street,
Adelphia Apart from the fact that the
system will add to our artistic productions,
the mere fact that the lost art of Celllni has
been made a modern industry gives it his

HUSBANDRY HINTS.

THE way to build up the sheep industry is
to weed out the fiocks, go for greater capa-
city for mutton and increase in the lndl-
vidual and put small flock on every farm
where they will pay, even if wool is lower
than the farmer thinks profitable.
TAKE two calves of equal value and
promise Bring one up under scrub condi-
tions, and she will be a scrub. Rear the
other in accordance with the best light of
the age, and she will come under the head
OF improved Stock 1t makes wonder
full difference under what conditions cow
is raised from salfhood
AS RULE it will take as much good grass
in summer ard as much dry food in winter
to keep COW that only gives g medium
quantity of milk, as it does one that gives
larger quantity, while there ought to be a
considerable difference in the profit, so that
the quality of the cow is an important item
in securing the largest profit.
ARTISAN or deep wells that furnish q
large amount of water, with a windmill at
tached for pumping purposes. are, on large
farms, the best plan for supplying stock with
water. Pipes can be readily arranged
from one pasture to another, so that the
trouble of supplying all the stock with pure,
plan of furnishing stock with water is to
the warm, stagnant water.
MANY farmers make themselves much
needless trouble with weeds. The diff
Guilty originates In not killing them prompt
~ as soon as they appear above the sur
face, or, if possible, a little before. When
an annual weed seed has sprouted it's root
at first it Is only fine, slender white thread
which exposure to sun and air causes to
wither and perish. The slightest brushing
with garden-rakc destroys the small weeds
in its path as effectually as would deeper
cultivation.
SEED to be used next season should be
saved early, says the Ploo0indn. To be Of
any advantage to the saver it should be
saved carefully. In the first place attention
should be paid to the growth of several
plants, that the best may be invariably Sc.
lected for perpetuation. AS soon as the
seeds arc gathered, no matter how pressing
the needs of the hour may be, they should
be pat into packages that shall contain the
names Of the seeds and any memoranda
that it may be essential or desirable to
know when the sowing time comes.

Sheep Raising.

r. NJ. Bell, of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Bureau of
Animal Industry and specialist in sheep
husbandry, said to a reporter recently:
II am acting under the general author
ity of Commissioner Norman j. Col
man, and the special direction of DR..
d. E. Salmon, chief of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, in tour of inspection
in the interests of mutton and fleece.
My work embraces the three divisions
of mutton sheep in the agricultural
States, wool in the same, and the fleece
producing West, although, as a matter
of fact, our greatest supply of mutton
comes from Texas. In the eleven
months have spent in the region east
of the Mississippi I suppose have con-
versed with ten thousand wool-growers
on the subject of the tariff as regards
the effect of reduction upon their
interests. Well, found all shades of
opinions. 1 recaa eleven men who
favored free wool, not on party lines,
but because they honestly believed
that their industry would prosper
more and more without restriction.
One man. Vermonter, and an init
mate friend of mine, said that he had
made up his mind years ago that with
the duty taken off wool the industry
would increase to degree hitherto
unknown. A Virginian thought that
the duty should come off both the
fleece and manufactured product. Yes,
/ talked with many a Buckeye man,
but I never found the first one advo-
eating a reduction of wool I am re-
quired to prepare report for the COM
missione at once. but l don't see how
I can have it in shape before the 1st of
October. Now, 1 saw some sheep in
South Georgia, West Florida, Alabama
and Mississippi that caused me to alter
my preconceived notions respecting
sheep husbandry in the South.
They fattened and fourished
there at all seasons on the
native Bermuda and wire grasses,
almost without attention from their
owners. .Scrub?' Not bit of it;
don't call feeces ranging from four to
four and half pounds and bringing
the same money as brook-washed Ohio
wool scrub product. These sheep
have been bred .in-and-in' for years,
and yet despite this exception to all
hereditary rules, produce a fine, even
fleece, excellent mutton, and develop
all the traits of sheep that receive the
closest of attention in other sections OF
the Union. The people down there
have in certain sense, been as much
neglected as the sheep-that is to say,
by the Department of Agriculture.
When they learned that Commissioners
Colman had thought it worth while to
investigate their stock-raising indus
tries they almost went wild, and for q
time the commissioners was bigger
man than Grover Cleveland. -Sk
