GOOD WATER LITTER.

Wen Curb and fitting Bucket of an I'm
proved Pattern.
Our engraving shows a perspective
view of a well curb, which, with the
accompanying devices, is convenient
and durable, while it conduces to keep
the water in wholesome condition.
The curb is made of upright boards in
the form shown in the engraving. The
front and back need be only twelve or
fourteen inches in width. The sides
are twenty-eight inches wide at the
bottom, sloping to twenty-four inches,
whence they are cut to truncated
triangle. The top of this is covered by
a board firmly nailed, to which the
sloping covers on either side are
hinged. Near the top, and somewhat
at one side, are holes with boxes to
admit the iron journals of a solid
wooden drum. On the crank end of
the journal. and outside the curb, is a
toothed wheel and iron ratchet, to pre-
vent the full bucket from going down
by the run, if the crank slips out of
hand in drawing water. The ratchet
is lifted when it is desired to lower the
empty bucket. On the front OF the

JUDGING SHEEP.

The Proper Way of Testing the Length
and Fineness of Fleece
A sheep farmer who is growing for
wool as well as mutton should be
good judge of wool, SO that he may de-
termine the comparative values of his
fieeces- In judging, there must be
standard, and this standard must have
due regard to fineness, to length of
staple. and to density In judging as
to ineness. SAYS Dakota Farmer, COM
mence at the shoulders, as there the
finest wool is always to be found This
may be taken as the standard and com-r
pared with the wool from the ribs the
thigh and the rump. and the nearer
the wool from the various portions OF
the animal approaches this standard
the better the fleece is If the result is
satisfactory il is pronounced as to fine
ness very even" In scrutinizing the
length of the staple, if the wool from
the ribs. thigh and back approximate
reasonably in length to that of our
standard, the fleece is again pro-
nounced as regards length of staple
true and even" The density of the
fleece is then examined by closing the
hand upon the portions of the rump
and loin wool, these parts are usual
ly the most faulty If this point proves
satisfactory it is pronounced even as to
density The density is the most diff
cult to determine, as in it touch must
be the sole guide, the eye not being de-
pended upon, as in the other examina-
tons Tosummarizet these proofs, if the
fleece is of nearly equal fneness and
length on shoulder. rib and back, and
of density on shoulder, rump and loins,
we have a model sheep for producing
