CO." Of dairy should produce s5j The
very best herds scarcely do this: the
great majority run very far below it. But
suppose all equaled this. the labor ac-
count against the cows tells in favor Of
the sheep. Ii has been questioned
whether few sheep with dairy of
cows do as well As have been wont to
report. At a farmhouse where | am
staying few days twenty cows and
ten sheep are kept. The wool was sold
for SIS and IL lambs were raised which
are worth at least IS each now. and
could be sold for that This gives an
income of $3.50 a sheep, or $50 for the
equivalent Of a COW. This far surpasses
the return from the dairy, and, will
venture to say. from ninety nine hum
dredths of the dairies in New York
state. These sheep sheared but 5
pounds of wool each and it sold for
30 cent, 1t is as easy to get and keep
sheep that will shear pounds or more,
and increase their profitableness by
that much
In the five or six dairy counties Of
New York where have made personal
inquiries, ! find the same good report
of sheep. The editor of the Canadian
Live Stock and Farm Journal estimates
the income at ST. per sheep in his
province, where wool averages but 10
cents. II our dairymen would sell the
poorer half of their cows and invest the
money III sheep, it would be wise am
not SO welded to this idea for tho
money profit as for the relief it would
give TO the women of the household,
who are now in too many instances
dragging their lives out at milking,
making butter and cheese and the al.
most continuous washing and leaning
of milk and other dairy vessels. With
fewer cows and more sheep, there
would be more money in the farmers
pocket and more bloom on the cheek
of his wife. Now all hands, male and
female. have to turn out and milk, rain
or shine. Sundays included. If only SO
many cows are kept as the linen folk"
can milk, it will relieve the women in
large measure. and the added sheep
will increase the treasury.-H. Galen

TROUGH FOR PRESERVING wHEEL-RIMS
tons to prevent igniting the oil. When
the oil is sufficiently heated the rim of
the wheel is immersed and slowly
turned around as the heated oil pene-
trates the wood until the entire rim is
treated. The advantages claimed for
this device over a rectangular trough Of
galvanized iron are: 1t requires less oil,
as it conforms more nearly to the curve
of the wheel: being of east iron, it
serves as vessel in viii h to heat the
oil. as well as To soak the felloes; it is
more durab BILE than galvanized iron, and
no more costly. 1t is not patented.

A Jamaica farmer told one Of our
correspondents the other day about a
widow with fou- children living in
that village who does not work regu-
larry in the fields. but every year about
this time takes her little brood of chill
drcn out into the fields and earns with
them so or SIS week at piece work
until the busy season is over. Most
of the womea farm hands. however, live
in the country and are more regularly
employed. They feed pigs. hoe corn,
haul manure. plant. hoe and harvest
potatoes and corn and make them
selves generally useful. They wear
coarse, strong clothing fitting to the
work. They do not wear demi-trains.

The pawnlproker SiRn.

Three reasons are given to account
for the origin of the pawnbrolser's
sign. One says that the balls are used
because they We're the emblem Of St
Nicholas, who is said to have given
three purses of gold to three virgin sis
tiers to enable them to MARE Another
legend attributes the use % the three
balls to the memory of the Lombard
family, the first great monet lenders in
England. They We're druggists before
they became capitalists, ana used the
three golden pills in memory of their
old calling. Still another story attrib-
utes their original use TO the Medici
family of France. The Medicis We're
money lenders. who used the three
pills as pun on their Notwithstanding
name.-St Louis Republic.

Domestie and Imported Cheese.

There is good deal of denunciation
of American products by people who
do not know what good product is
We know a man who says that he al
ways buys imported cheese and that he
would not eat American cheese. We
happen to know that he does not know
an American cheese from stone in
the pyramids: and we happen to know
that his grocer sells him adulterated
American cheese as imported cheese.
''What fools we mortals are" But we
hope that no one will lose sight of the
uncomfortable fact that we do import
our best cheese, when we ought to
make II ourselves Western Rural

Waste stale bread can be bought at a
nominal price from large hotels and
bakeries Nothing better can be fed
to chickens with vegetables and proper
seasoning than stale bread. Being as
it is cheap and healthful food. it
often appears to me strange that more
poultrymen do not buy and feed it.
If you feed large numbers of fowls it
is great saving in feed, particularly
during spring and summer, when it is
more easily relished. Young chicks
should have it often, and mixed with
the morning feed it digests easily and
fattens moderately, and has the ele.
ments of bone.making materials. We
hope those who have as yet used it but
very moderately will look more care
fully into the question and test its
worth as a proper food for fowls

Look out for counterfeit two-dol-
lar silver certificates. The Treasury
department has just discovered a dan
gerous counterfeit. Heretofore gov
ernment notes have never been sue
cessfully counterfeited on account Of
the fine silk thread running through
the texture lengthwise. In the new
counterfeit this peculiarly is almost
exactly initiated, making the counter
felt one of the most dangerous ever
made. There are nearly 20 million
dollars OF genuine two-dollar silver
certificates in circulation Of the issue
of 1856, the date OF the counterfeit.
These will be called in as rapidly as

Rock Island, in the following man
ner;
when the train reached Phillips
burg there were nearly 300 passen-
gers on board, and the long DELAYS
had reduced many who started with
little money to the point where they
were compelled to subsist on the
charity OF fellow passengers who had
money left. The company made alb
solutely no provision for them.
Finally, after breakfast at Phillips
burg, the passengers who had been
bearing the expense of feeding those
who had no money, went TO to the
agent and asked him to telegraph the
division superintendent and notify
him of the condition of the passen-
gers. THIS he refused to do. and the
gentlemen We're compelled to send the
message by Western Union wire at
their own expense.
In response the superintendent
wired the agent to furnish meal tick
cts to such passengers as had no mon
ey, and the pasteboards were accord
ingly issued, for supper and break
fast. The train left Phillipsburg
Saturday morning as stated, with a
twenty-four hour run ahead Of it.
with no provision made to feed the
passengers, except at their own ex-
pense and many of them made the trim
without tasting food, except where
the old army practice again came in
play. and the kind-hearted and full
handed divided with those who had
nothing.
Many of the passengers sold their
jewelry and other effects to secure
money with which to buy food; one
man parting with his pocket knife to
get a meal.
The Indignation of those who were
imposed upon is practically hmitless.
They do not know where to place the
possibility, but think the superin-
tendent and the agents along the line
lost their heads, and ought to lose
tkeir positions"
The HERALD knows that a portion
of the above article is based on q mis-
statement of facts. Friday morning
early, Mr.. Bailey telegraphed to the
superintendent, asking for permis-
sion to issue meal tickets, which was
granted. Meal tickets, good at any
hotel. were issued to all passengers
travelling on tickets, those with pass
es were compelled to pay for their
own food, and as the instigator of
the above was probably of the latter
number, he failed to get free meals.
275 tickets in all were issued, and dis
tributed on the cars by Mr.. Bailey.

everything they could to make the

several speak in the highest terms of

assist the passengers. What happen

of this seed. Applicants must in all
cases appear before the Board and
make application in person, and not
by letter, or through the township

persons wishing this seed are urged
to apply at once SO that the work of
distribution may be exploited
