The most remarkable feature in the
splendid funeral of Cardinal Ganglbaur,
Prince Archbishop of Vienna, was the
presence of his relatives, group of poor
peasants, whose appearance contrasted

Black Top Merinos.

American Agr1culturist defines these
sheep as follows: They were bred UP
from the Spanish Merinoes, crossed with
the mutton breeds. They are symmetri:
cal and free from wrinkles. The wool
is combing or delaine, fine, from thred
to four and one-half inches in length,
with white Oil diffused throughout the
length of the fiber. The rams weigh
about 1870 pounds and the ewes 1870
pounds. The object of the breeders was
to secure a Merino fleece on a mutton
carcass. They are desirable sheep, and
are bred mostly in southo N Ohio and
western Pennsylvania. both wool and
mutton was the motto of the originators,
and they succeeded admirably. The eff
fort is making by some to create a stand
ard for these sheep of twenty pounds of
wool on 900 pound carcass. These are
rightly the American Merinoes, and the
wrinkly breeds should be denominated
the Spanish.

Blanketing Horses.

Dixie Farmer very truly says: Proper
care Of your horses at this season, and
during the winter, requires blanketin9
not only in the stable and at night, bus
more imperatively when they are left
standing in harness. To be sure, most
farmers take their stable blanket along
when they are out driving in the winter
They do not always remember to do it at
this season. We advocate two sets of
blankets, one for the stable and one for
out of door use. It is not absolutely
necessary, but it is better. Then if one
set is kept in the wagon or buggy, it is
not forgotten Or left behind, as is often
the case with the stable blanket.
