SHEEP HusBANDRy PROFITS.

Colmans Rural World says in sheep hus-
bandIy the realization of profits does not
always depend on immediate results. The
grading up of a common flock TO the most
profitable basis requires time and means,
and in this kind of work the end should be
more carefully kept in view than imme-
diate profit. The conspicuous pliability of
sheep has enabled breeders, possessed of
skill and enterprise, to produce varieties
suited not alone to the pastoral herdSmen,
but to the average farmer is well. For the
latter whatever his condition and locality,
some varieties may be found from which
tie may confidently anticipate the maximum
profit for such judicious grading, reason
able care and scasonable sustcnance as he
may accord them.
In the first place the farmer should de-
eide what he wants TO breed for-wool or
mutton. His selections to start with should
be made with a view to filling this want
If he exercises good Judgment in this matter
he will soon have exactly what he wants,
for there is no stock more easily graded up
TO a special requirement than is the sheep
For Texas the best strain to grade up on
is probably the cid native scrub. 1t is Of
itself not Il bad strain, by any means having
descended from the spanish merino, and its
long run in this country has rendered it
hardy and entirely at home.

a money product, will, as rule, be found
prosperous even in hard times. He has been
visiting the farmers institutes of his state
70: considerable length of time, and in
not one of them has ne met with farmer
of this kind who was complaining. The fam
lily with full supply of fruits, vegetables,
poultry and dairy products. meats and bread
stuffs supplied by the farm, and which has
a little surplus OF each TO dispose of
TO pay bills, can live easily and comfortably
on a small farm, and will not need to cult
yate 4 great breadth to meet expenses, for
these can be kept down TO low limit. 1t is
not the acres we cultivate nor even the
bushels of grain or bales of cotton produced,
that determine the profits of farming, but
the cost of production and the wisdom en-
ployed in feeding and selling our products
TO best advantage. Ordinarily the large
farm. while ii looks like and really is Dig
hing, does not bring in greater clear re-
turns that the small farm, owing TO the fact
that the cost of running it is SO great. Com
paratively few really large farmers get
rich. OF course the very small farmer
could not be expected to speedily grow
rich. but he may make comfortable living
and lay up something for rainy day. But
farmers do get rich sometimes, and if you
study the matter closely you will find that
most of these are what might be termed
medium farmerS-men cutivating medium
sized acreage and doing it well.

ON WATERING SHADE TREES.

Many persons water their shade and
street trees by prOdding under them at
tDe base with a crow bar and then pouring
water into the hole. Do you consider this
crow-bar work Of any particular advan-
tagef What is your notion OF the best way
of watering shade trees anyway, where the
grounds are not under regular irrigation?
Tarrant county, Tex. TRINITY.
We cannot think that the hole made with
the crow-bar does any particular good, I'M
less it should be in the case of tree newly
set with no extended roots. You might
get the water well under the tree by this
means, but since it has no feeders imme-
diately around the base the water could be
of no particular advantage.
A very common way of watering yard
trees in many localities is to dig up the
earth on radius of three or four feet i'm
mediately around the base and pour all the
water there. Now, within or under that
dug-up space is, in all probability, not one
feeder-root, particularly if the tree is an
old one several years set. The large roots
running out from the base of the tree do not
take up moisture, or plant food of any
character, for that matter. To apply
moisture to them with that expectation
would be exactly the same as applying it TO
the trunk of the tree above ground. You
may observe that this kind of watering
appears to do the tree some good, but the
good, if any, comes from the small amount
that soaks out through the hard ground to
where the feeders or small rootlets are
located at the ends of the large roots. All
the feeders calculated TO take up anything
for the benefit of the tree are 50 located
they are on the immediate ends of the fine
rootlets.
The correct way of watering tree is
found in applying the wafer some consid-
cradle distance out from the base. Let US
suppose that your tree is twenty feet high; ;
in that case its feeders would begin to have
a location from six TO ten feet out from the
base-many OF them, In some species, would
be thirty or forty feet out. To water the
tree, then, loosen the surface soil in a cir
Gle around the tree, say ten feet out and
four or five feet wide. Wet this circle
thoroughly and you will be surprised to see
how soon the tree will show the effects of
~, 1ol tic "dtef WILL So uiiCeS W VI
the feeders. Never burden yourself by
digging around the base unless you desire
to do 50 merely for ornamental purposes.
Don't waste your water around the base,
for it can do very little good there. True,
cross-roots may have located a few feeders
near the base, but this would be a matter
of mere accident-the natural place for the
feeders is further out. Attempting to water
tree by merely applying water to its
large roots is little like would be pouring
wa ter into mans boots to relieve his thirst.

THE CUJSEA cow.

have seen something in the agricultural
papers about the Guinea COW, said to be
very popular in the state of Georgia. As
you are a Georgian, 1 understand, and
hence must be familiar with Georgia things,
perhaps YOU will ohli"e US by stating
through The GAZETTE what manner Of cow
the Guinea COW IS. w. r. BEANT.
Dallas county, Tex.
We are not 4 GEORGIAN and never lived in
Georgia, but we can tell y'u something
about the Guinea cow all the same. She is
a little short-legged creature with body
apparently entirely too large for her sun
derstanding" On this account she is not
very pretty, taking other fine cows as the
standard, and yet she is not at all ugly.
In general size she is to the ordinary cow
about what the Shetland pony 5 to the
ordinary horse. Her hair is what might be
termed rich mouse color anf her horns
are graceful and well proportioned. Ma
ture seems to have made her to serve ex-
pressly as 4 pet for the children, for no
little creature could be more docile and
gentle For her size she is 4 wonderfully
fine mixer, giving more milk than many of
the larger G. VS., and her milk is almost as
rich as that of the famous Jersey. To this
may be added as an attraction, that she is
extremely hardy.
The Guinea COW is freak OF nature that
nobody can explain. She is said TO have
originated in the piney woods of Georgia,
not far from the town Of Thomasvil
though on account of the long time she has
been among the Georgians the full history
of her origin seems to have been lost. All
agree that She was never an importa-
ton from any other country, and this finds
strength in the fact that nothing like her
has ever been met with anywhere else.
But no variety could be more strongly
marked nor more permanently settled.
Long the little Guinea COW of Georgia
has been very popular as a pet, if on no
other account. Not few persons have
raised the breed in large numbers for sale,
but as yet the supply has never been up to
the demand.
We are always advocating the establish
ment of new varieties OF things fully
adapted to local conditions. This origin of
the Guinea COW in Georgia plainly shows
that such an establishment is entirely pos
sible. If Georgia was able to originate a
new and deeply stamped breed of cattle,
what could there be against an accomplish,
ment of the same feat at the hands OF
Texas Already we have in our umbrella
china-tree one vegetable freak equally as
remarkable and equally as inexplicable as is
this animal freak of Georgia.

its spread by isolation of the affected ami

There Is comparatively little hog cholera

fruits in California is Mr. A. Furnas of El
| Modena, in that state. In q recent article
| contributed to the Indiana Farmer he says
evaporated fruits are rare in California.
Sun-dried fruit is the rule. Place the fruit
on scarolds in the sunshine and let nature
do the work. But all fruits intended for
commerce are bleached-they wouldn't go
without.
The bleaching is done with burning SUI
phur, and before the fruit is dried. II
done after drying the fruit would smell of
the sulphur, but being done before, all the
fumes of sulphur escape during the drying
process.
Where operations are conducted on
large scale it will be necessary TO have built
4 small, tight house in which TO place the
cut fruit for exposure to the sulphur
fumes, but for work on a comparatively
small scale q bleaching arrangement that
will answer every purpose may be easily
and cheaply provided. Mr.. Furnas adds
with reference to a cheap arrangement for
bleaching fruits:
1 might say that any box or barrel. in
which the fumes Of sulphur can be confined
on the freSh-cut fruit for thirty or forty
minutes Will bleach it sufficiently.
First as TO the tray on which the fruits
are dried This Is three feet long and
twenty-four inches wide. The bottom is
nailed to an end piece IN inch thick. and an
inch and 4 half wide. and the tray IS ready
for fruit. The sides are Of thin stuff like
tine bottom. When the trays have been
filed with cut fruit they are piled cris-
or Of ann+hap aG hiCrl do
sired. the pile being placed over an exca-
walton in the ground, sufficiently deep to adj
NIT OF the burning OF the sulphur, which
can be done on a shovel full of Goals.
A box sufficient to cover the pile Of trays
is turned over them fitting closely to the
ground, and with u small handful of sulphur
on the live Goals, the bleaching viii be COM
plete in due time.
am well aware that some one will ask
exactly what amount Of sulphur to
given amount OF fruit. do NOT know Of
any invariable precise rule. The black
smith cannot tAl 10 q second how long L
will take TO heat his iron. or Just exactly
how much coal it will require. His expert
ence and Judgment are brought in requISl-
ton and thus he is enabled TO strike while
the iron is hot" Go Slow At first. sui
phur light rather than too heavy. and YOU
will soon be able to strike the happy medium
for good bleaching, which will be mani
tested in the color of the fruit.
Another reason why Out-ofdoor dried
fruit should be first bleached (sulphured)
lies in the fact that there is always a spe-
cies of fly ready 10 take advantage of its
exposure to deposit eggs uponit, which will
soon hatch worms and give Us wormy fruit.
But this sulphur bath renders it entirely
distasteful to all manner Of insects, So they
give it a wide berth and there are no worms.
