SABLE SHEEP.

!, 1t has always been question whether
1T is possible to breed a flock of black
sheep, and an extensive fiockmaster of
Australia is testing the matter by send
ing all his black lambs to a range by
themselves. These cannot truthfully be
called freaks of nature, as some claim,
for if so there would be less oft. Still,
there is something about it not well
understood. Black lambs may not occur
in a flock in generations ard then recur
OF sudden. If black ram be used in
a flock of white ewes, more then nine
tenths of the offspring will be white.
Cases often occur where both sire and
dam are black, and the lambs white. As
something does not come from nothing,
black blood must be diffused throughout
most tlocks. Where wool is to be dyed
a deep color, it is claimed that the
''basic pigment" of black wool being
already provided, it absorbs less dye and
makes more enduring color. However
this may be, there is serious objection
to black sheep because their coats absorb
more rays of the sun than white, affect
ing them by heat more readily and more
senously.-NeiO York Tribune.

POSSIBILITIES OF AN ACRE OF LAND.

No one can estimate the possibilities
OF an acre of lano with a certainty. We
know that more than $50 bushels of
corn were made from an acre of land by
South Carolina man in 1889. That
700 bushels of potatoes, 5000 pounds of
sugar, five bales of cotton, 400 bushels
of sweet potatoes and 250 OF strawberrirs
were made upon the same area, but we
do not know that the limits of production
were reached in either case.
A big crop is not always a profitable
one; 1t may cost too much money to
make it. What the farmer should aim
at is to obtain the greatest possible
yield at the smallest outlay of money and
labor. To make every foot of land tell
and not to skim over the whole farm or
plantation, but learn to make a large
crop on the smallest given area of land.
Keep up the fertility of the land by
constant rotation. Use fertilizers with
economy and discretion. Cultivate well,
and do not fail to grow in addition to
the money crop full supply of every
thing that is necessary for the sustenance
of the family and live stock on the farm.

PEAS FOR PIGS.

An economical food, and fairly nu-
tritious one for pigs, is peas, which can
be grown as the first or second crop on
some gravelly, loamy and moderately rich
soil. About two bushels of common
peas should be sown to the acre, the soil
having been properly pulverized and pre-
pared beforehand. When they are ripe
pick enough for seed and then turn the
pigs into the field. Pigs that have been
fed on corn through the winter will en-
JOY this change, and fatten up for the
early market. No corn should be given
them, but this should be saved for win
ter. After the pigs have eaten the peas
the ground win be in fine condition for
wheat. If it is not desirable to turn
the pigs into the field the vines can be
raked up and stacked, and fed to them
at pleasure; but this involves unneces-
sary work at the busiest time of the
year.-New York Voice.

sILAGE Under FIRF.

A few months since barn of my neigh
Dor, Charles Taylor, writes John Gould,
Of Ohio, with its contents of hay, straw,
and grain, was consumed by fire. In one
bay of this barn was wooden silo, hold
ing about one hundred and twenty-five
tons. The wooden she'll of the silo was
burned completely off, leaving the siage
standing. 1t was found that less than
six inches of the surface and sides were
spoiled. A new "shell" was put about
1t as soon as possible. The burned por-
tions were first removed, and the sides
again tramped with fresh silage from the
surface. 1t is not expected that the keep
ing quality of this silage will be as per
feet rs would have been case under more
favorable conditions.-Americdn Agricul-

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Soak machine oil stains in cold water
before washing.
Glass fruit jars may well be utilized as
tea and coffee receptacles.
Leather chair seats may be revived by
rubbing with egg white, well beaten.
The kitchen garden should not be neg
lected, even if field work is pressing.
Indigo blue calico or gingham dresses
will look more like new after washing If
they are not starched.
No matter how sharp a knife may be,
cutting bread with it or dipping it in
hot fat will dull the edge.
Clothes that have been spriukled will
not mildew for days, even in the sum
mer, if kept away from the fire..
If you set anything hot on oilcloth and
it turns white, drop on a little spirits of
camphori rub with dry cloth.
The toughest fowl can be made eatable
il put into cold water, plenty of it, and
cooked very slowly from five to six hours.
After taking cake from the oven let it
remain in the pan about five minutes; it
will then come out easily without break
ing.
The most effectual remedy for Shiny
and greasy drain pipes is copperas dis
solved and left to work gradually through
the pipe.
Keep box of powdered borax near
the kitchen sink. A small quantity in
the water in which dish towels are washed
is helpful in the matter of cleansing.
The best whitewash for cellar is
made of lime and water only. The ad-
dition of other things hinders the pur-
pose of keeping the cellar pure and
hcalthful.
Glasses and dishes wipe to perfection
when washed in very hot water. Use
dish mop, soap shaker and an iron dish
washer. These also expedite the labor,
as very hot water can be used.
Stains of vegetable colors, fruit, red
wine and ink may be removed from white
goods by sulphur fumes or chlorine water.
On colored cottons and woolens, wash
with luke-warm soap lye or ammonia
Silk the same, but more cautiously.
The stains Of ink on books and engrav-
ings may be removed by applying solu-
ton of oxalic acid, citric acid or tartaric
acid upon the paper without fear Of dam
age. These acids take out writing ink,
but do not interfere with the printing.
A hammock pillow is an addition con-
sidered necessary to complete the furni-
ture of a garden in city or country dur
ing the summer. Filled with down,
hair or odorous twigs of pine, it is COW
cred with the gay striped ticking used
by the manufacturers of awnings.
Every particle of fat which is skinned
off soup, all the suet left from steaks and
chops should be saved, rendered, clari-
fed and strained into a dripping pot Il
not only saves lard, but is much better
than it for frying doughnuts, and frit,
ters are better fried IN it, as they will
not absorb so much of it, but it must be
thoroughly clarified first.

is, provided there is an abundance Of Il
always within reach of the COW, but such
is ~ rarely the case that the attention Of
dairymen in general should be called to
the importance and difficulties that usu-
ally surround this matter. Now, it is an
acknowledged scientific fact that if the
COW is kept as warm as she should be for
good milk yielding, which means about
fifty degrees Fahrenheit during the
twenty-four hours, she cannot as physi-
cal impossibility drink enough even of
luke-warm water to supply her wants at
one time. In order to do her best under
the most approved circumstances she
must have access TO water at least twice
within twenty-four hours, no matter
whether she is standing in hot stable or
running in a hot pasture. Put this fact
in your head and see that your cows this
summer do not have to go too far for
water, the COW is naturally lazy animal
and hates to walk far in the sun. Make
the division of pastures cross the creek
as often as possible, OF else have some ar
tifclal means for watering them. Re
member this, too, that water standing
still possesses wonderful powers for alb
sorbing rankness from the atmosphere.
If left in that condition near the stable
just smell of it after standing day and
see if you cannot smell the manure in it,
or any other foulness that may be near
by. The heat of cows body will not
kill the germs that come from foul water
and they are almost sure to find their way
into the milk. Keep them out Of the
milk by not letting them get into the
water is the only safe Plan Chicago
Times.

WHOLE POTATOES AND CUT ONES.

1t seems reasonable to conclude, as
does the Ohio Experiment Station, that
whole potatoes do better for seed than
single eyes, or any forms of cutting.
And yet it cannot be denied that most
excellent crops have been produced by
the use Of cut seed.
There is undoubtedly more in the soil
than in the cut or uncut seed, other
things being equal. The seed, Of course,
may be injured by being kept in too
low temperature during the winter, OF
by sprouting too early in spring, either
OF which will reduce the vitality and
shorten the crop; but if the tubers are
perfect and the soil Just right, single
eyes rightly managed will leave little
or nothing TO be complained of in the
way of turn out. What is wanted is a
good strong bud, which, in the proper
soil, will soon come to take care of itself
aud make a healthy, prolific plant; and
one Of the best ways to produce such
buds IS by spreading the potatoes for a
few weeks before planting in a very tEin
layer on the floor of room which has
light and warmth enough to make il
comfortable TO live in. Care will be
needed, however, in planting afterward,
so as not to injure the points of the
short, thick buds, which are the result OF
tins treatment. -Ne,0 Orleans Picayuas.

BEES NEAR A HIGHWAY.

Bees should not be nearer highway
than one hundred feet, or to house
where there are small children. An
apiary can extend up to highway with
safety, provided there is a high board
fence, or hedge intervening. This OBJ
structcn causes the bees to aim high in
their fight, which takes them out Of mis-
chief. II would be better for all bees on
a farm to be in a high board inclosure,
so that hreechy animals would not be in
danger by upsetting tteir hive. 1t is
generally the result of carelessness, when
horses are killed by them.-Prairie

VANILLA SANDWICH.

Take the weight of three eggs both in
sugar aud in flour, boil the sugar to a
syrup with little water, and in the
meantime whisk the three eggs in bowl
standing in another one full of water
then add the sugar which has been
boiled, and go on whisking until it be-
comes thick cream; then lightly mix
the flour, flavor with little essence of
vanilla, and when quite smooth put in a
fiat buttered tin and bake for about thirty
minutes. When cold, cut it out in small
shapes, and cut each piece in half, hori-
zontally; spread little jam on the lower
pieces, join them together, and ice the
top with the following icing: Put the
unbeaten whites of two eggs in bowl,
and add gradually half pound of icing
sugar, beat it with spoon till it be-
comes very light and hangs in flakes
from the spoon, then flavor with a few
drops of VANILLA -Courier-Journal.

A NICE WAY TO SERVE COLD BEEF.

Cut cold roast beef in slices, put gravy
enough to cover them, and half cup OF
catsup, or a lemon sliced thin; if you
have not gravy, put hot water and a
good bit of butter, with teaspoonful OF
more of Drowned flower; put it in a
closely covered stewpau, aud let it sim
mer gently for half an hour. If you
choose, when the meat is down, cut an
onion in thin slices, and chop bunch of
parsley small and add to it; serve boiled
or mashed potatoes with it.
Or, cold beef may be served cut in neat
slices, garnished with sprigs of parsley,
and made mustard, and tomato catsup in
the castor; serve mashed, if not new
potatoes, with it, aud ripe fruit or pie,
or both, for dessert for a small family
dinner. Yankee Blade.

FRIED roMAroNs FOR nRrAKrAsr.

No better breakfast, luncheon or sup
per dish can be desired than one of fried
tomatoes with cream sauce. Cut large,
and not overripe tomatoes into three thick
slices; dust with salt and pepper and
dredge lightly with flour. Have some
hot butter or half butter and half sweet
drippings in frying pan and fry slowly.
When Drowned on one side turn on the
other, and when tender, but not so we'll
cooked that they cannot be lifted with
out breaking, lift with cake turner and
slide on to hot dish. Stir two table
spoonfuls of flour into the fat in the pan,
and when smooth add slowly pint of
rich hot milk. Stir constantly until it
boils, season with salt aud pepper and
pour over the tomatoes. Another way
is to dip the slices in egg and bread
crumbs and serve with brown sauce

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS,
sUeAREp PINEAPPLE.

Prepare ripe pineapples in half-inch
slices and weigh them; weigh a pound
and a quarter of crushed loaf sugar to
each pound of fruit and roll it fine; put
an inch layer OF sugar in the bottoms OF
glass jars and then fill them with alter.
nate layers of sugar and fruit, leaving
always an inch Of sugar on the surface
and sealing the jars absolutely air-tight.
Turn the jars neck down in a box of

but it must be used as soon as the jar is
opened. .- Chicago Ne,rs.

IMPORTANCE OF SALT FOR DAIRY COWS.
Professor Robinson, who has tested
the matter, claims that when COWS are
denied salt for a period Of even one week
they will yield from fourteen TO seven
teen per cent. less milk, and that of in
ferior quality. Such milk, he says, will,
on the average, turn sour in less time
than milk drawn from the same or SINH
