Farm Notes.

With the ordinary farmer a medium
grade Of sheep will probably pay best
in the long run In any event, use a
full-blooded male to breed from and
aim to improve your flock from year
10 year.
The bsne of the sheep business here
wool and too little attention TO mutton.
The awakening interest in. and de-
mand for, good mutton are favorable
symptoms, and point the way TO future
success in this industry
Plows that would dig the best among
rocks and turn over the biggest junks
of braky knoll were once in demand,
but now we want the furrow turned
over smooth and fiat So there will be
no turning back Of the sod where the
harrow is put TO work.
The exports from the port of Boston
for the week ending November so, in
cluded 20, SIS pounds OF butter, sls,-
sos pounds of cheese, l13 ,240 pounds
of oleo. For the same week last year
tho exports included ss4S pounds of
butter, "a, 500 pounds of cheese, co.
400 pounds of oleo.
Do not forget TO feed the chicks
plenty Of ground bone, oyster shells
and sn occasional feed of meat. Boil
the small potatoes or other vegetables
mixed with bran, adding dash Of red
pepper and salt every few days.
Ginger and sulphur may be fed in SO fl
feed occasionally.
The best of the young cockerels
should be selected for use next year,
ann the rest should be forced for mar
ket and disposed OF at once. They
Will bring more now than 1t any time
later. An excellent feed for them lie
corn-meal, mixed with boiling hot
sweet skinned milk.
4 swindler sold farmer in Clinton
county, Penn, recipe for making
his wheat weigh twice as much as it
ought to, and the granger signed a
contract to divide the money gained
by the extra weight with the swindler.
The contract eventually turned up as a
promissory note, and the farmer paid
$500 for it.
Bran is rich in phosphates. but it is
food the hens do not like unless it is
yscalded. Never feed it to them in a
raw condition, as It is liable to cause
bowel disease. A mixture of equal
parts of bran, corn meal and ground
oats, scalded and allowed to remain
until the mess is cool, is the best grain
food that can be fed.

The corsican Vendetta.

Should a Corsican in revenge for in-
jury done to himself or his relations, or
even to his dog or his horse, kill another
with knife or coup de fitSil, public sym
psthy sustains him, the hills shelter him,
his relations feed him, and Justice in the
shape of gendarmes winks with both
eyes unless the murderer be very un-
popular. True he is termed O ''bandit," {"
and has 10 take refuge in the raGc0ui, as
the natural bush is called that clothes
the mountain sides. Well-informed Cor
sicans tell one that there are at this
moment in the island over 1000 in
hiding. But please understand, the ban
dit is no brigand. Should you, defense.
less, happen to fail in with him he will
not tako your purse, but. on the con-
frary, offer you food If he has II and
shelter in his cave, and most probably re.
fuse any payment for his hospitality. II
is only his foes family against which he
wages war, and of course in self-defense
with tho gendarmes. These latter hs
will shoot with as much unconcern as n
woodcock- And yet, though the Corsi.
can will not rob you, it is not because he
does not love money. For a very few
francs, both Corsican gentlemen and
English residents aver, YOU can find a
man who will do your killing for you
and nd you Of your enemy with knife OF
bullet. And while this utter contempt
for human life prevails there can bo no
hope of the extinction of the vendetta

Louis Keller, a Detroit butcher,
challenges the world to q contest in
sheep-killing. In 8 recent competition
he killed, skinned and removed the
inwsrds of twenty sheep in thirty
eight minutes and thirty five seconds.
His opponent finished fifteen sheep
in the same time The fastest
operation was a sheep in fifty-two
seconds. The contest took place in q
hall in Detroit, and was witnessed by
n large concourse OF butchers. The
show was gotten up by the same par
ties who two or three years ago got up
horse-shoeing contest, in which Mar
tin Dunn overcams sn competitors
1t would probably pay farmers who
do their own butchering, often by
slow and tedious methods, to 60 to
stockysrds or other places where men
who make q business of killing ami
mails learn great eIpertness and quick
ness in these operations. After seeing
these they will certainly DO able to
make quicker time at home, and Will
get new ideas about convenience for
doing this Kind of work.

Tea. coffee OF cocoa are three ad-
miSsible drinks, but not in excess. For
the voice the Inlericdn Druggist recon-
mends cocoa as the best. A cup of thin
cocoa, just warm, is more to be recon-
mended between the eXeTtionS of sing
ing than any alcoholic beverage. Tea
must not be taken too strong, nor when
1t has been drawn too long, for il then
becomes acid and has a bad influence
upon the mucous membranes of the
throat. There is always sensation OF
dryness after taking cup of tea that
has been allowed to draw too long.

Turkeys will not bear confinement,
and when al large they pay no respect
TO farm lines and but little to dis
tsnces. In almost every neighborhood
there is now some one cultivsting small
fruits, and Il flock of turkeys soon
make trouble. Tho general use of
paris green in the potato fields where
turkeys frequently search for insects
Orgreen food endangers their lives TO
some extent. The rabbits and birds
which are sought for human food de-
crease faster than beasts and birds of
prey, and the latter are growing more
bold and ravenous. Another fact which
IA perhaps as important as any is that
there are less boys and girls in country
houses to look ofter such things, and
there is too much travel needed "a
tending turkeys for the old folks To
add il to their other labors.
But with all these facts in opposi-
ton, raising turkeys can be made
profitable in many places vet. Where
there is room for u large flock to range
it will pay to start lot of them, and
when they get old enough TO let out Of
the pens, which will be in about a
month from hatching, hire a boy or
girl to keep watch of them and keep
them from any place where they can
do damage or where their lives would
be endangered.
Fortunately turkey-breeding has
been kept down TO solid business.
There has been no attempt that we
know of to breed them for fancy
feathers, for fighting purposes or for
singing, but there are several varieties,
which, as with other things, have their
fsncies. We think the bronze turkeys |
are as good as any, and are more hardy
than the black. In selecting females

ABOUT THE FARM.
Eints for Farmers and Busy
Housewives to Appreciate.

The old idea that plants gave of,
secretions that were poisonous to those
of like character with themselves has
been generously exploded by scientific
investigation. There are no such secre-
tons. Plants exhaust the soil, and
when they eequire plant food, which is
scarce, the supply soon becomes diff
cult. That is all there is of il. The
worst case OF so-cslled poisoned land
can be cured by applying the fertil-
izers of which the soil has been de-
pleted.
