Hints 10 Maple Sugar Makers.

Never to use a sour sap spout nor one
that can sour,
Never send an inexperienced person to
tap your trees for economy, no other
point is more essential
To obtain the greatest amount of sap.
bore about one inch past the bark and put
two spouts to ordinary trees or four to ex-
ira large trees, two ON each side, and hang
but two buckets.
Never place your buckets on the snow or
ground, toupset, or for the wind to blow away
and waste the sap as it drops. but hang them
upon the spout or bucket hanger never use
a nail.
Always scald your buckets before using
If wood buckets are used, paint inside
and out; this will prevent the pores from
soaking sap and souring; the paint will not
injure the sugar.
1t is economy to use bucket covers avoid
ing rain, snow, flies, leaves, etc all of which
increase the labor, and injure the color and
flavor of the sugar
Sap should be converted into sugar as soon
as possible after it runs from the tree, as a
change for the worse commences almost i'm
mediately when exposed to the air.
Sugar evaporators having divisions or
channels, made of galvanized iron or copper,
are the best and should be used by all sugar
makers.
Dry wood and good sugar houses are es
sential
To gather sap easily it should be done
with a team, using a large gathering tub
fastened upon a sled. Good roads should be
kept open in the bush, when the snow is
light, during the winter, ready for the
spring.
To preserve the trees plug the holes when
the spouts are removed; if not, the acidity
from the sour sap often kills a spot around
the hole. Those who do not plug should
let their spouts remain in the trees until
the leaves start then remove them and the
trees will not b. injured, although plugging
is best for the trees.-C. c. Post Of Bur
iingtOit, VI, in american Cutirdtor.
Plugging the holes when the spouts are
gathered was recommended 10y writers on
maple sugar making 20 or - years ago, but
we have seen no recommendation of that
kind, except the above of late years The
plug, it was said, rotted and tended to pre-
vent the wound from healing over witt
sound wood
The injury done to a tree in tapping i,
mainly to the inner bark and outer surface
A hole three inches deep Injuries the tire,
but little more than one only one inch il
depth The flow of sap is greater when thu
holes are bored two inches or more in depth
The injury to a tree by boring from two t,
four holes one inch deep. as advised by Mr.
Post would be much greater than by hal
the number of holes three inches deep.

Alcohol and Pneumonia.

So excellent and eminent medical au-
thority as DR.. johnson of Washington, D.
c., has put himself on record in these words
in recent article on the subject of pneu-
monia The common belief is that pota-
tons of alcoholic liquors will stop or pre-
vent cold but of all popular beliefs it is
the most fallacous, for no habit like that of
intemperance so readily invites an attack
of pneumonia during the continuance of
cold, damp weather, attended with north
and northeast winds. This is fact not
generally recognized, but All individual who
is not a drinking man has three times as
good a chance to recover from an attack of
pneumonia as has one who is an habitual
drinker for, by the exciting effect Of alco
hol the lungs of all drinking men are con
tinually kept engorged with blood far in
excess of a healthy standard, and conse-
quently drinking men are seldom without a
cough. When the lungs are in this unnat-
ural state of engagement, they are apt to
receive the causes of their Inflammation
with great readiness and fatality"

Origin of the Mutton Breeds of sheep.
As Western farmers are just beginning
to study the sheep industry with view of
engaging in the production of mutton with
wool as a by-product, and the breeds
specially adapted to this new phase of the
industry are foreign breeds, we condense
from "Sheep and Wool, " an English jour
nal, brief sketch of the origin of the diff
ferent mutton breeds. The great improve
ment in sheep began hundred years ago,
with the introduction of turnip husbandry
in England under the leadership of the eel
ebrated breeders, Blackwell, Gully and Eli
man. The best sheep in England were then
in Leicestershire and the breed as improved
bv Mr.. Blackwell, was called the Dishley or
New Leicester pronounced Lester sheep.
Mr.. Gully crossed Mr.. Bakewel's Leices-
ters with the Cheviots, "A breed developed
on high rolling lands on the Scottish Dor
der, and thus established the Border Lei
cesters The modern Lincoln sheep are a
cross between the common English sheep
and the Leicester The Cotswold is an old
established breed which has been improved
bv an infusion of Leicester blood. The
Romnev Marsh, Wensleydale, Devon long
woods and Roscommon sheep are all Eng
lish breeds, the result of climate and soil,
improved by Leicester blood. So much for
the long woods.
The Southdowns are a short wooled NUT
ton sheep, improved by Mr.. Gilman by Sc
lection He began his experiments in 1880
and continued them for nearly fifty years,
The Shropshire Downs were improved from
two native breeds, the Cannock Chase and
the Clun Forest, and crossed with the
Southdown to maintain quality and the Lei
cester 60 increase the size. The Hampshire
Downs are the native breed of the counties
of Hampshire and Wiltshire, crossed with
the Southdowns. The Norfolk and Suffolk
Down is a cross of the Southdown on the
native sheep in the home of the Red Polled
cattle The Oxford Down is the result of
a cross between Cotswold ram and Hamp-
shire Down ewes
From the above it seems that there were
but three varieties of sheep that could be
rightly called breeds two long wooded the
Leicester and the Cotswold, and one short
wooded, the Southdown, and that all the
other breeds are the result of the crossing
of these on the native sheep of the different
localities Climate and feed, in the course
of fifty or a hundred years, give to the re-
suits of these various crosses distinct types,
so that they are now properly called breeds
Who will now seize the opportunity to make
himself a great name and fortune by de
veloping a mutton sheep adapted to the
great prairie country, that viii combine
hardness, large size, moderate length OF
staple, closeness and compactuess of fleece
and that can be herded in moderately larg,
hocks He has in the English breeds anC
Delaine Wool Of America all the materials
all that is needed is the brains To mix them
in the right proportion. Blackwell never
had such an opportunity .-Coimd'S Rura

THE SOUTHEAST INSTITUTE.


ENTERPRISE, Kas., Oct. 2l.-[Spe-
cial correspondencel-The southeast
Dickinson county institute met last
Saturday at Enterprise. The meeting
was called to order by President ].
s. Lyons at IL a. m. The election of
officers resulted as follows: President
o. L. Bates; vice-preSldents, Prof. G.
L. Shaver and s. Il. Weigle; secretary,
Miss Myrta L. Wick; assistant secre.
tary, Miss Grace Cooke; executive com
mittee, Miss Lillian Scott, ]. G. Wine
o. L. Bates.
In the afternoon the program was
carried out as published, there being
but two abSentees. Hon. C. B,
Hoffman in behalf of the people of En-
terprise, in an elegant and appropriate
speech welcomed the teachers to the
city. J. G. Wine responded in very
creditable manner.
Mr.. Lott being absent, Miss Myrta
Wick opeLed the subject, Language
for Small Pupils" We gathered from
her remarks that we learn by doing in
language and must not expect toe
great results from little folks. The re-
marks by Miss Scott, D. E. Conner and
others were very timely.

G. Wine, certainly reflected much
credit upon him.
In Preparations for Each Days
Work" Mr.. r. V. Dyer, although a
young teacher, demonstrated the fact
that he is capable of leading the young
hopefuls.
The Decoration of School Rooms, u
byD. L. Hotter and D. E. Conner, was
ably discussed.
Miss Scott, of the Enterprise schools,
gave many good thoughts on etiquette
in the school room, taking the ground
that politeDess is as much part OF ed
ucation as arithmetic.
S.H. Weigle and Prof. kirkpatrick
gave interesting talks on grading coun-
try schools. Supt. Ford spoke OIL the
subject, saying among other good
things: I'VE find difficulties in every
department of life, SO in grading coun-
try schools, but we must not be dis
couraged but keep on in well doing"
A number of visiting teachers were
present and were gladly welcomed.
The music was excellent and reflected
credit upon the people of Enterprise.
An interesting evening program was
arranged.
Among the resolutions were the fol-
lowing:
Resolved, That we are in favor OF
grading the country schools and that
we will make every effort to introduce
Supt. Ford's course of study into cur
schools.
Resolved, That we are in favor of
higher education as a part of the pub
lie school system, and that we will do
all in our power TO induce pupils to at
tend the county high school.
