EvAPoRATING FRUIT.

An authority advises that with small
fruits, especially, care should be taken
1 no. to allow them to get too ripe, and in
handling not to mash or bruisc. Mushy
fruit will not eyaporate in as good CON
|dition as that which is more solid. The
heat should be given gradually, taking
care AZ all times not to get too hot. 1t is
an easy matter to burn the fruit, or dry
!, so that the natural juices are all cX-
|tacted, and the fruit will be nearly or
|quitc all seed and almost tasteless. After
Securing the right temperature to dry
Rapidly, keep it so as nearly as possible.
The dampcr can be used to advantage.

now MANY SHEEP PER AcREY

This question has been asked us: How
many sheep can be maintained per acre OF
n farm ms a specially! We have submit
ted the question to several persons having
some experience in keeping sheep. Thos,
who have answered have agreed generally
that large breeds require more food tt
MAINTAIN them in good condition than the
smaller or Mcrino breed, which weigh only
about one hundred pounds. Two reply
that light, average sized sheep require
about the same amount to keep them that
one COW does. Another says that he has
found that with large Shropshire grades
that will average eight to nine pounds OF
wool per fleece, aud weighing one hun.
drcd and thirty to one hundred and fifty
pounds each, are as seven to eight TO one
COW in the food TO keep them. Now 1t is
estimated that the product OF two acres
of what we call good land in Indiana
will keep one COW under the rasturagc
and dry feed methods of farming. So
by these statements il is seen that the pro.
duct of one acre of good land will keep
four head of sheep per year. This is on
the assumption that the pasture season is
/ a fair average one. With these facts
one may readily estimate the profitable.
ness of sheep farming on our fairly good
lands. Considering that Aocks of large
breeds may and do average seven pound:
to the fleece and that about ninety pei
cent. of the increase b saved, it will he
found that there is profit in sheep hus-
bandry. The value of sheep ms fcrtiliz
ers, of course, must be taken into ac'
count.
But new era has dawncd in live stock
farming, and its advantages are as great
in sheep husbandry as in other stock. We
refer to the silo and cnsilagc feeding
The noted dairyman of Wisconsin, Mr.
Hiram Smith, says he fully believes that
with this new method of stock farming
one acre of good land may he made e

of one acre may easily keep seven &c
eight head of sheep, for it has been found
that cnsilagc may be fed to sheep will

nrsrLrs OF rnYsIcAL TRAINING.

This Northwestern Christian Advocate,
from the late brutal pri2s-nght exhibition,
draws the following useful lesson concerning
tho value OF non.alcoholic physical training;
THE ono thing shat attracts us in this in'
stance is the result of Sulliyan's training by
Professor Nuldoon, who seems destined to
fame because of his success in training tile big
druukard, whose profanity, quarrelsomeness
aud general debauchery are general dis
grace 10 even that pronigate. After being
seethed in whisky for years, damaged by ty-
phoid fever, and disabled by a broken arm,
this Sullivan has submitted 10 severe train
ing, exercise, dieting and abstinence, until lie
is pronounced Il perfect specimen OF physical
manhood II all this lie true, II suggests the
possibilities respecting any man whose bodily
fun ctions have been damaged by whatever
means IL the Muldoon can uplift such a
man. what may not other trained trainers
do for the sober, temperate man who needs
corresponding attentions and relative rebuild
ingg We have no doubt that proper train
ing can add very large fraction TO the lifo
and efficiency Of many hundreds Of profes.
sonal men, aud thus add to the sum total Of
tho worlds brain-worliers."

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Onions keep best in barn lofts, where
they freeze.
If mildcw appears on the rose bushes
dust them with sulphur.
Chop up grass for the confined poultry,
and they'll thank you for it..
Dig around the chickenyards us often
as you can possibly get time.
Rich soil is necessary to the production
Of rich, succucnt vegetables.
A community shows thrift by having
ornamental trees and shrubs well kept
about every dwelling.
Whore it is desired to produce the best
possl~ results in gardening wc would
advise watering just before sundown.
Geese prefer parsley and pantain to
grass, and their aid in killing these
weeds out is valuable in both garden and
pasture.
If you have any coal ashes, give tho
currant patch n good dressing, it will
keep down the weeds and save much
hard work.

and really is, good for many more years
of full service than another, subject to
abuse and neglect.

it will pay you to feed your young heifers
something besides corn-give them some
oats. You will reap the good of it in
their progress as well as in churn.
Success in farming comes principally
from learning how to do everything and
the exact time when it should be done,
adding the not eXtravagant presumption
that the farmer is Industrious and
| frugal.
The importation of dairy breeds Of
cattle has been much better sustained in
the last few years, than that of the beef
breeds. Importations of all kinds have
fallen Off, but of the latter more largely
than of u former.
/ In starting what might be called an
ordinary dairy herd, one should begin
with heifers or young COWS of moderate
size and good quality, with shapely bags,
and on these should be put well-bred
bull from a good milking strain.

PHYSICAL EFFEcrs OF ALCOHOL.

DR.. W. s. Searlo says in the North Amet1-

alcohol are varied, much moro diverse are
its effects upon the mental and moral nature
Of man. Indeed, they are as multiform az
man himself. One general classification only
Is possible. Certain individuals fortunately
the small minority arc always pleasurably
affected by stimulsnts. Each successive dose
arouses in them increased exhilaration, and
when intoxication sepervenes their scnsa-
tions Are delightful Their every sense is ex-
alted; they fancy themselves endued with
every gift-with all power and possession.
As is often remarked, these are generally

the most charming moral qualities Once

seldom have sufficient power Of will 20 re-
frsin from renewed indulgence No moral
considerations avail TO restrain them, and,
with few exceptions, they yield wholly,
finally and fatally TO the tenpter. For such
men total abstinence is the only refuge y
Upon the large majority of men tho
effects OF alcohol, taken 10 intoxication, are
clearly and essentially different; although at
first exhilarated, repeated indulgence brings
drowsiness, dullnoss of apprehension, anps-
thesis, vertigo, nausea and vomiting-in
short, bodily and mental symptoms which
are excessively dissgreeable. or this class
very few become drunkards, and those are
men 10 whom anpsthesia becomes desirable
as a temporary refuge from bodily pain or
mental distress Herein lies tho sole orpla-
