ror the steamer WIN not ne too much, as
they soon get to look shabby and travel
stained. A soft black silk that will pack
into small compass and does not easily
crease will be useful as a change for din
ner. with some silk blouses or theatre
waists to vary it. A neat tailor made dress
for the voyage, a jacket and an ulster are
needed, and also two or three cool dresses
Washing silks are more desirable than cot
ton or zephyrs, as dampness does not affect
their appearance. Furs are only in the
way, but boa often proves useful.
For inland, couple of ball dresses for
evening receptions, also one for fetes and
theatres; riding habit, stylish silk dress,
a homespun and an embroidered cambria
or two. A deal case linedwith tin, to con-
tain the best dresses; strong box for
linen, boots, shoes, books and odds and
ends; two regulation portmanteaus, one
for the liget weight, the other with the
heavier articles of apparel, besides Glad
stone bag and wrapper, ought to suffice
lady tourist for a journey of many months
over land and sea.

substance. Many farmers send their
stock to the pastures too early in spring
for the good either of the stock or the
pastures. The ground when the snow
has recently left it is soft and saturated
with water. Turning cattle upon it at
such time is specially harmful to the
grass roots. The deterioration of so
many pastures can doubtless be largely
traced TO this practice. Many farmers
turn their spring calves out to pasture
during their first season. Though few

ABUSING SHEEP.

We have heard of sheep being used to
restore fertility to wolnout land, and
have read that they were quite efficient
in the destruction of various kinds of
weeds. But, according to an Ohio farmer
who recently gave his experience at one
of the county Institutes, they may be
trained to render even greater service.
This man turns part of his flock on land
"infested with bushes, briers and weeds, {"
and keeps them there few days COM
polling them to do "Sennenger duty" by
eating these foul growtEs. The animals
are then turned into better pasture and
another portion of the flock is set to
work clearing the bushy ground. The
process is repeated until the land is thor
oughly cleared. A writer who has re-
ported the matter to the National Stoct-
man and Farmer, says that ''by thus
starving them" the sheep will ''eat all
kinds of weeds and bushes, with no per-
manent loss of flesh or health" and adds
that he has seen some of the land which
was ''well and cheaply" cleared in this
manner. After three or four seasons Of
this kind of clearing, the land is ready
to pillow and there is ''no hard, laborious
grubbing or breaking of plows or STRAIN
ing teams blowing away roots" We do
not doubt that sheep can be made 70 clear
the land of bushes and weeds, but it must
be pretty hard work for the sheep and
also be an expensive method for their
owner. A man can drive a nail with a
good watch, but it is cheaper for him to
use hammer.
SO man can clear land by the use OF
sheep, but an AK and bush scythe would
enable him to do the work to better al
vantage Dairynan.
