sHEEP BITING rHEIR WOOL.

When sheep are found biting their
wool or nibbling the skin they should be
examined at once. The cause NAV be
that they are infested with ticks or that
the skin is irritated and infiamed as the
consequence Of dry feeding or lying
upon damp beds or upon manure II the
ticks cause the trouble, the sheep should
be dressed with a strong decoction of to-
bacco, n pound II a gallon of boiling
water (but not boiled), adding two ounces
OF flowers of sulphur, and stirring FREE
quently until the heat is reduced to 100
degrees. The liquid is then poured along
the back and guided down under the
wool along the sides. Buttermilk used
in the same way has been found useful.
If no ticks are found or any vermin give
the sheep two drains of hyposulphite of
soda daily in some scalded bran, feed
some sliced potatoes or t,rnips, and use
no musty hay, which often causes this
trouble. When sheep are fed upon clover
hay, which is mighty heterogeneous, they
are frequently thus troubled, and some
oily or starchy food as linseed meal or
potatoes viii be found .useful.-New

PROFIT FROM KEEPING GEESE.

If geese are allowed to run every
where, as used to be the general prac-
tice, they speedily become a nuisance and
destroy more than they are, worth. But
they pay for care and feeding as well as
any other farm stock. They nay be
plucked every six weeks through the sea-
son, beginning with the first warm
weather in spring, when a portion of the
feathers become loose and will fall out
of themselves. One-third of a pound of
feathers may be taken from a full. grova
goose at each picking, and if well fed af-
terward no injury results from plucking
each six weeks until cold weather
puts q stop to this work. Watch for the
times when the feathers appear to come
They are then said to be ssripe.n
II this goes by, it will Bio hard to make
: satisfactory picking through the year.
Besides the crop of feathers, each female
goose should hatch out a dozen or more
young, which will pay their keep by
their growth of feathers, and be a cash
article in the poultry market during the
holiday season. A flock of geese gives
IN feathers, eggs and increase d greater
proportionate profit than most kinds of
farm stock.-Boston C~ultigGtor.

BRAN FOR

Wheat bran is a concentrated food and
possesses considerable nutritive value.
Il contains rather an excess of ash, and
for this reason it is good to feed to young
or growing stock, as it develops bone
and muscle. 1t is a splendid feed to use
in connection with poor bulky feeds,
like straw, fodder and roots; fed with
hem it will aid materially to make up q
omplete ration. By using it, the OBJ.
lection to selling grain, rather than to
feed out to stock, is largely overcome,
Wheat and potatoes can be grown and
sold off the farm if bran is purchased
and used in connection with other mate
rails, as bran retains a large proportion
of the mineral elements.
In feeding, the animals take out Ger.
tain parts that contain animal nutrition
and leave considerable plant food that is
saved in the manure and can be added to
the soil to retain its fertility.
During the winter it can be mixed
with corn-meal, weight for weight, to
good advantage, l~essening the cost of
feeding and at the same time adding to
the fertility of the farm. It is desirable,
TO a large extent at least, if the fertility
of the soil is to be kept up, to plan and
carry out o good system of rotation, and
in doing this there will be more or less
products that ought to be marketed to
good advantage. But in doing this
something else should be used to take
the place of what is marketed. II this
Is not done, nearly o. quite everything
that is grown should be fed out to
vigorous, thrifty stock and the manure
be saved. If any is sold a sufficient
quantity of other materials should be
purchased to take its place; bran and oil
meal are the two principal materials that
q be used in this way, and where this
ID done a good supply of coarse rough
feed a be purchased and used, even il
it is necessary to sell a portion of the
grain.
This Ia especially the case in feeding
growing stock, and with milk cows, if
fed in connection with corn meal and oil
meals, it will aid to increase both the
quality and the quantity of the milk.
One of the best rations that can be
made up for the milk cows during the
winter is clover or millet hay with orn
and oil meal and wheat bran. Roots
can be added when they can be had con-
veniently, and in doing this have the
manure increased.
At the price bran can usually be
secured att can be used at least through
the winter to agood advantage and more
stock be kept in proportion to the grain
than would otherwise be possible

AWonderful Diamond.

One Of the stragest lapidarian freaks
That has ever come within the knowledge
Of diamond experts is now on view at
the Burns Hotel, in Kimberly, South
Africa. The stone is in shape and size
like apigeon's egg of a dark brown color
externally, and az first sight opaque. IF
viewed in 3 dark place, with q candle or
other light so placed that the rays pass
through the stone before falling ON the
@retina, however, one sees distinctly the
image Of q man from the waist upward.
Turing the pebble he sees at another
point q woman's face, partly concealed
by heavy t~resses, and yet, again, on an
other portion of the surface being ap-
to the eye, a moonlit clead sketch
il clearly delineated. The store was found
in . debris waah-up, and $500 has been
refused for it. A Dir. Bergsma, d debris
washer, was the finder Of the remarkable
stone,-dssesrs WssElg.

The railroad statistics Of the United

figures to those who care to investigate
them. Nearly q hundred and sixty
thousand miles of road are In actual
operation, and these roads employ about
three million people in various capacities.
During the last year 81, O0o, 0OO, 900 was

Increasing the Speed Of Ships.

In order to do away with the enor-
NOUS pressure of the water against the
front Of ocean steamships an English in
yentcr has introduced q novel device
which he claims will enable faster time
to be made by vessels, in addition to
facilitating the maneuvring of ships and
tend to avoid collisions. The invention
consists of one or more screws on each
side Of the bow, each t~orty-fve degrees
with the bow, and ninety degrees from
each other. Experiments made with
these screws show that the water is
thrown from each side of the bow, FORM
ing q deep we'll in front Of the vessel,
and allowing the stem screws to effect

PAINTING WAGON WHEELS.

It is asserted by those who have tested
the matter, says the Hdrm Journal, that
painting wagon wheels once in two years
answers as well as soaking in boiling oil
to keep them in shape and avoid the ex-
pense Of resetting tires. A quart of raw
linseed oil and ten cents worth of cheap
paint, and you have the cash expense.
Take off the wheels and lay them on a
bench and paint the upper side, allowing
the paint to work In between felloe and
tire. By the time all four are treated,
the first will be dry enough to turn over
for painting or the other side. Laying
them down is much better than painting
with the wheel on the wagon.

~rHE INVISIBLE"

The red men, whom we so despiss
And proudly try to ~civilize,
Are wiser in some ways by far
Than we and all our teachers arc.
We preach the after-life. and rangs
Through natures round Of ceaseless change
And search the hopes and fears of men
To prove that we shall live again.
We only half believe, at best
Our faith stands not the greatest test,
Fer when our friends depart. we weep
More than those who do but sleep.
And on each marble slab we writs
Some legend of the spirits flight
Lest, passing by, we might forget
That he who died is living yet.
The Indian, with a single phrase,
The ghost of doubt and terror lays,
And lifts the viewless curtain spread
Between us and tbs so-called dead.
He knows no 'dead:n just for a space
His friends have faded, form and face,
Through Natures strong and subtle spell
They have become invisible"
We are too fine and wise: we need
Much less of logic and of creed.
Oh, let the untaught forest child
Teach us his credence undefiled!
Let us no longer say "Our Dead"
Nor think that those we love have fed.
They are Invisible" as we
Shall close our eyes some day, and see.

THE A r AND GARDEN.
CULTURE OF vIoLETs.

A New York correspondent writes to
the Florists Eschdnge that light soil is
most suitable to %violets, which ought to
be planted in ground that has a fair
drainage. He planted them where they
will receive the benefit Of rain, dew and
sun; keeps them warm and grows them
in n place quite by themselves. He
says: sViolets do not care for company
and half the failures come from placing
them with other plants.o

A great many farm horses are injured,
and some of them are utterly spoiled, By
improper feeding. In many cases The
material used is not specially adapted TO
tho needs Of the animals, while In othsra

the ssheaves" are caused By feeding
musty hay, and even mors serious ALL
nents may DO traced to the use Of dame
aged grain. There are also many cases
of disease resulting from the improper
use Of good materials. While J few
farmers feed too little hay, there are
many who give their horses altogether
too large 3 quantity. They dn the

LINED AND UNL1MED POTATOES.

It is quite often recommended to dust
potatoes with lime when storing them
away in the fall, IS d protection against
rot. To determine the effect Of this
treatment, with more than the ordinary
degree Of exactness, d trial was made &c
tho Hatch Experiment Station If the
Massachusetts, Agricultural College last
season.
From a pile of potatoes found to be
rotting badly after being dug, four sam
Piles OF o bushel each of apparently sound
tubers were selected. These were placed
In bushel baskets and two baskets were
put iato . dry cellar and two into q well
lighted and dry granary. The tubers
put into one basket IN each lot were
thoroughly sprinkled with air slaked
lime as they were put in, the other basket
was untreated. This was done on Sep
tember liz, and the tubers remained IN
disturbed until December 8, when they
were carefully examined.
From the results as shown in d table
With careful exactness 1t appears that the
diferencesin the amount of rot were very
small. In the case Of the cellar samples
the tubefs untreated kept slightly better
than those which were lined; In The
granary samples the difference was lii
favor Of the lining. It thus appears
that the experiment was not sufficiently
decisive to justify pronouncing either for
or against the treatment. 1t is, however,
