EARLY MATURITY.
The Only Way in Which Mutton-Maltng
Can BE Made TO Paw.

The Only Way in Which Mutton-Making
Can BE Made to Pay.
The only theory that prime mutton
can only be had from and 4-year-old
wethers has exploded Indeed, 2-year-
olds now are rare. One-year-olds seem
to be growing numerous every year and
are becoming the staple mutton of the
country. notwithstanding it was once
thought that sheep could not be put in
first-class order at that age. Everybody
goes in for early maturity, and prob
ably it is only by SO doing that mutton
making can be made to pay, excepting,
of course, III the case of old ewes,
which make up a portion of the fat
sheep killed every year, and which may,
under certain circumstances, leave a
good profit for fattening. Nothing is
more certain than that the age at which
sheep can be 1attened is being constant
ly lessened. During recent years the
fat stock clubs have been compelled
to entirely recast their prize lists.
Classes of lambs have been instituted
and they have become the leading feat
ure among the sheep classes. These
illustrations of early maturity are
too strong logic for old-style feeders,
who hold the opinion tnat an animal
must have completed its growth of
frame before it can be properly fat
tened. Alternate fatting and starving
will no longer pay in the process of
making certain weight of meat from
certain quantity of food, and the sys-
tenn of carrying on animals to a certain
age on merely sustenance diet before
commencing to fatten them is also
proven to be unprofitable feeding.
These methods may be pursued in the
case of coarse, ill-bred sheep that are
slow to fatten, but they viii not suit
improved breeds that lay on flesh early,
and with food so adjusted meet the
wants of nature that there shall be no
check in growth from birth to maturity
1t has been alleged that sheep aged
two years yields q greater or heavier
quantity of flesh than sheep one year
old, but this is fallacy. 1t is now as
certained that a sheep from its birth
till one year old makes as much flesh
as one double that age, provided the
sheep be fed carefully plentifully and
methodically-that is to say-that there
is no stoppage in the rations.-Sheep
Breeder of Scotland.

With the good prices now being OBJ
tanned for turkeys, they pay large
profit, despite the difficulty of raising
them when they are young, for a flock
that has had free range will pick up
nearly all the food that was eaten. 1t
is just as easy to raise large turkey
as to keep small one, and you should
aim to improve your flock next season
by procuring bronze gobbler, which
adds vigor to common focks, as it is a
complete change of blood. We do not
advise the use of pure breeds, but to
cross, as the pure breeds are sometimes
themselves closely inbred. Unless the
gobbler is procured from some flock of
pure bred fowls, there will be liability
of a waste of time, as hah-blood male
is utterly useless for purposes of inn
provement. Keep the largest and best
hens for breeding, and aim to have a
fine flock. The p,oft will then be
larger than when only the ordinary,
common kinds are used, as u gain of
only two pounds on each turkey is
quite large item in the profits Farm

direct SUMS rays are kept off the trunk
by the head which shades it. Second,
by the use of boards, paper, corn stalks,
ETC., to shade the trunk, or shading it
by growing a small shrub on the south
side
Within the past two years some ex-
periments made on a small scale have
apparently secured results worthy of
very general adoption wherever, from
this cause, trees are injured. The re-
suits were secured by boxing up the
young trees in the fall, as high as the
branches, and then filling The boxes
with soil. A tree thus prepared for
winter has well nigh perfect protection
for its trunk, both from climatic and
insectivorous troubles. 1t has been
found that trees thus treated make a
much stronger growth the following
summer than trees not protected.
Further, such trees can never become
black hearted for they are perfectly
protected, and are as safe from sun
scald as the roots in the ground.
White this has been shown to be the
case only after a short trial, yet we all
know the advantages Of a covering of
earth over our plants, and that it is the
best kind of winter protection for
them. We rarely have much sun scald
on the branches of trees, for they shade
one another.
1t seems, therefore that if we can by
this means preserve the vitality of the
trunk there will be much greater recu-
perative power in the whole tree in the
spring. 1t is recommended to take the
boxes off each spring, but 1 think it
may be found that leaving the boxes on
all summer will be beneficial, though
we may find that the trunks will be
made too tender by being covered all
summer; and perhaps in very wet sea-
sons the trunks may send out roots into
the earth in the boxes, which would be
bad, unless the butts were to be pro-
tected during the life of the tree.
However, l am inclined to think that
even did the tree send out roots from
the stem, the box could be taken off in
summer for a few seasons until the
bark had become covered with thick,
corky layer, when, if desired, the pro-
lection might be discontinued.-Fa

A GOOD plan of feeding ground bone
is to mix it with other food.
IT is useless to attempt to breed prof

WHEN strictly table fowl is wanted
the games will be found much the best.
HENS in their natural condition seek
variety of food to supply their wants.
IT is economy, first and last to feed
so as to keep the fowls in a good, thrifty
condition.
WITH all kinds of poultry the most
trying time is until they grow their
first feathers.
IT is important whenever fowls must
be confined to see that they have plenty
of good water.
WHEN the poultry have a free range
they pick up great variety of food
that they need.

SELECTIONS of the breeding stock

EGGS are often badly favored by

possible; this will aid to destroy the

YOUNG fowls when first Matched do
not require any kind of food for twenty
four hours. Bread soaked in milk is
good for the first feed
MANY find it profitable, especially in
fattening fowls, to feed sprouted grain.
The best plan of obtaining this is to
soak the grain in warm water over
night, pouring the water off in the
morning and letting stand until the
grains sprout.

The term "sun scald" is applied to the
wounds found on trees on their south or
southwest sides. This seems to be u
more common source of injury to fruit
and forest trees in the Western and
Northern States than in the East or
South. Such wounds commence by the
discoloration of the bark at some part
exposed to the suns rays, and ends in
the dying and falling off of the bark. l
have seen scarlet oaks, whose butts were
exposed to the sun, that had the bark
coming off for as much as twenty feet,
or even more, on their southwest side.
Very many apple trees are thus injured.
What the cause is has often been disput-
ed but il is probable that it results
from the action of the sap on the south
side beiug suddenly checked after a
time of warm weather, during which il
had become very active where the di-
rect sun rays warmed the trunk.
There are several methods now in use,
and of value to prevent or reduce loss

SPANISH DANCING GIRLS.

Interprets 1t.

Interprets It,
Spain is a nation of dancers. All
Spaniards, it may be said, are born
dancing, and there would seem to be no
need for apologizing for them on that
account.
AS a rule they are good dancers, be-
cause what we love to do we generally
do well. The proverb tells us that: "a
pair of light shoes is not all that is
needed for dancing" and l have found
it to be true. The fandango is the oldest
national dance of Spain, especially in
the district of Andulusia. This dance
interprets what may be called passion
ate love song The opening is a mild
bit of music. 1t is danced in couples in
what is called three-four time. The
musical accompaniment is guitar and
tambourine, and castanets are used to
keep time. 1t is wildly voluptuoua
and exciting dance, aud it seems to be
appreciated by New York audiences if
| can judge from their applause.
In the fandango as ! dance it the
movements are designed to interpret
love-making between a couple. There
are coy glances on the part of the
woman aL1H siilileS lrolu lle man, az
vances and retreats, feminine coquetries
and masculine supplication, and the
eventful triumph of the man.
Such dance affords large scope for
intelligent pautomimo and romantic
acting The free, eXtemporaneous char
acter of this dance has led to abuses at
times and in Spain the Church has
sought to suppress it. But whea danced
as it should be there is no HUT of i'm
modesty about it.
Nearly all dancing in Spain is accom-
panied by singing--sometimes an i'm

Here is true tale of business life
in New York. Once upon a time
young man got employment as clerk
in the establishment of prosperous
merchant, who paid him fairly for faith
full services and treated him well ac-
cording to his worth, so that his mind
was contented as time sped along. In
the course of years, and in the vicissi-
tudes of fortune, the merchant failed,
went out of business, and fell into pow
erty. In the mean while the clerk, who
was of frugal turn of mind, had saved
enough of his income to begin business,
whereupon he set up his establishment,
took as clerk the man who had once
been his employer, paid him fairly for
faithful service, and treated him well,
so that both are now contented as time
speeds along.--N. Y. Sun.
