Early lambs.
As to breeding: Do not use oil

AS to breeding: Do not use old
ewes.
A Southdown cross with the native
eve will fatten more readily, though
it may not gain SO great size as the
Cotswold.
A cross of Southdown on Merino
makes the best market lambs.
A cross Of Cotswold on Merino gives
larger but looser bodied and more
bony lamb.
Merino ewes will take the buck
earlier in the fall than the English
breeds of sheep.
A grade Merino eve will give a
lamb and more milk than pure bred.
AS to the Buck: In selecting ram
for early lambs, remember that great
size and early maturity are seldom
found in the same animal.
Never select a ram of the larger
breeds with a big head. This has
much to do with safe Landing.
It does not matter as to breed, if
you secure early maturity and rapid
fattening tendencies.
Keep buck up during service, and
put in heat with one pint of corn daily.
and bring the ewes into the pen at
night, where he can tease the whole
flock.
II the flock is large keep one buck

teaser.
Never give the buck more than fifty

Be sure you have an active buck.

He WAS DISCOURAGED.

A Georgia HOteI-Keeper's Experience
with an Ungrateful Man.
Fire was discovered in the principal
hotel of a town in Georgia. About two
hours later man stepped up to the
proprietor of the hotel and said:
Look here, you ought to be arrested
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses"
''How SOP"
"Why, you advertised your hotel as
strictly fre-proof."
WELL" replied the proprietor, 1.-The
hotel is still standing"
''Of course, but look at it. My room
was demolished-my two trunks are
burned up"
''My dear SIR" said the proprietor,
81 advertised my hotel as fre-proof,
but in the advertisement no mention
was made of your baggage. 1t is not
my fault that you go about the country
carrying combustible luggage. 1 must
say, sir, that you are very hard to
please"
''And, another thing" shouted the
injured boarder, 81 have sustained
serious bodily injuries. My hand, you
see, is frightfully burned"
ayes, but l insist that my advertise
ment said nothing in regard to your
hand. Here you come along, burn
your hand and blame me for saying
that my house is fre-proof. l must
say that you are the most unreasonable
man l ever saw"
"You are the biggest fool I ever
SAWS the injured man exclaimed.
''Well, but have l made contrary
claims? Does my advertisement take
cognizance of such a possibility
simply advertise my hotel as fire
proof and here you claim that l have
obtained money under false pretenses,
simply because ! happen to be the big
gest fool you ever saw. It is really

Preserving Fence Posts.

In building fence around our younA
orchards, several years ago, we tried
many plans for preserving the posts.
Having occasion to remove the fence
this winter, we noted the condition OF
the posts as follows: Those set with
no preparation were decayed an inch
or more; those coated with thick
wash of lime were better preserved,
but were quite seriously attacked by
worms; those posts coated with hot tar
were perfectly sound as when put in
the ground; those painted with pc
troleum and kerosene were equally
sound and good for setting. Let the
posts get thoroughly dry, and then,
with a pan of cheap kerosene and a
whitewash brush, give the lower third
of the post, the part to go in the ground,
two or three applications of the oil,
letting it soak in well each time. Posts
so treated will not be troubled by
worms and insects of any kind, but viii
resist to a remarkable degree. This
We find to be the simplest easiest,
cheapest and best method Of Dreserya.

"A grizzly bear that weighed 1,7O0
pounds was killed at Big Horn Basin,
Wyoming Territory, short time ago.
One hundred and nine shots were fired
from nine rifles before the brute was
killed.
"A granite house in Rowan County,
Va, erected in 1866, is still owned and
tenanted by descendants of the builder.
The fireplace is eight feet wide, five
feet high and five deep. The house is
in good state of preservation.
Fox hunters in West Chester, Pa,
freed fox the other day, and when
discovered he was perched among the
branches forty feet from the ground.
A boy was sent up to get him down.
and he jumped at him and over him
and made off. He was finally run
down by the hounds and killed. It is
proposed to stuff the skin, and preserve
it as that of the first fox in Chester
County who could climb tree.
"A Chinaman, arrested for theft in
San Francisco, suggested to the judge
that fair way to determine his inno-
cence would be to fasten his hands be-
hind him and take him to the river and
let him jump overheard. If he 1oated
he was innocent, and if he sank he was
guilty. His Honor could not agree with
the prisoner as to the success of his
plan and held him to answer.
The absurdity of giving to small
towns in this country the names of
great cities in Europe is well illustra-
ted by the fate of three towns in Geor-
gia which were built about one hundred
years ago, at what was thought to be
the head of navigation on Savannah
River, and were named, in view of
their prospective greatness, Peters
burg, Lisbon and Vieona. But steam
navigation and railroads came and di-
verted the course of trade, and now
despite their great names the three
towns are deserted and in ruins.
The story is that a woman in this
vicinity who is noted neither for gen.
crosby nor extravaganza, hired an
able-bodied farm hand to assist her in
the limited number of ''chores" Incl
dent to her harvest time, agreeing to
pay him price which probably would
not have kept Jay Gould awake nights
in perplexity as to the disposal of the
money-when he got it. The close OF
the mans engagement arrived and
early in the morning Mrs. - woke
him, and, handing him the sum agreed
upon, said: ''Here, John, is your
money. l haven't anything more for
you to do, so you can go; you needn't
wait for breakfast. Albany Journal.

HERE AND THERE.

Always use milk-warm water in
watering the house-plants. The better
results secured will pay we'll for the
trouble, as chilling the plants will
often prove injurious.
There should be full supply Of
fruit on every farm. If there is not
good supply growing, plan to have
supply as soon as possible by setting
out this spring.
The warm winter may cause vines
and canes to swell, which renders
them more liable to become winter
killed should the weather suddenly be-
come very cold.
IT the fowls have scaly legs take
lard and coal-oil and grease the legs
thoroughly. Repeat in week or ten
days. It is caused by small insect
that buries itself under the skin or
scale of the leg.
Look after your seed-corn now.
See that it is thoroughly dry and in
good condition. Upon the vitality and
terminating power of the seed largely
depends the success of the next years
crop.
After the ducks begin to lay keep
them confined until nine o'clock in the
morning, or some of the eggs will be
lost. They will usually lay an egg
every twenty-four hours, and they win

Wyandottes are among the best, if they
are not the best breeds to raise. They

selves, are good layers. and are, in
fact, good fowl in all respects.
There is frequently a large waste
in swine-feeding, much of the food
passing off undigested. The farmer
imagines that because his hogs eat a
large amount of meal or corn that
they must gain accordingly. There
never was greater mistake,
With good care an asparagus bea

Nearly all the experiments made
by the experiment stations demonstrate
that hogs make greater gain on whole
corn than on corn meal. This is also
the experience of nearly all farmers
who have given attention to the com
parison.
Strawberry vines that are well
mulched will not be affected by sud-
den changes of weather. The mulch
