Feeding Sheep.

A Missouri correspondent in The New
York World says: Clover and millet
make good kinds of hay to feed sheep
during the winter. When corn is fed it
should be shelled and put into tight
troughs to prevent being wasted. It is
better in feeding sheep to give small ra-
tons at time, just what they will eat
up clean in a few minutes, and iced often
than to give SO much at once that they
will scatter and waste it. They are more
wasteful of both grain and hay than any
other class of stock unless care is taken
to prevent it. They should have no
more grain than they will eat in ten
minutes, and should finish their hay or
fodder inside Of half an hour. Besides
the grain troughs sacks should be pro-
vided for the hay or fodder, SO as to
keep them from getting it under their
feet. It is very Important that they
should be provided with comfortable,
dry quarters, where they can be shell
tered from storms, but they should be
allowed to run out during pleasant days.

Butter Making.

LII I'LL dudlCSS DtlO10 II ldIIuGIS luSIl-
tute at Delhi, n. Y, John Gould, of
Ohio, said:
''There is call for only one kind of
butter-the best. Yet there are more
than 200 varieties sold in the market
Every lady who makes butter leaves
photograph of herself upon it, reflec-
ton of her skill There are only five
simple rules to be observed to succeed.
The man is just as responsible for the
quality of butter made as is the woman.
When the milk comes into the house
the butter is half made. Flavor of but
ter is not dependent much upon feed.
You cannot feed flavor into cows but
ter fat. Any food a COW can digest
flavor of her butter Market flavor is
artificial = the result of aciditya
Milk and feed regularly. Have stables
so constructed that there will be no
odors in them. A man who will allow
odors in his stables is an odorous farm
er. You cannot feed richness into
cows milk, SO do not feed poor COW.
Get mllklntO the pans as soon as possible
after it is drawn from the cows. The
best creamery to-day is an eight inch
shot gun tin can placed IN another can
of water, and which any timer can
make. All the money you pay more
than that for a creamery is lost to you
and goes into the pockets of some
patent right man. Milk diluted one
third with water, and set at 90 deg, Sc.
in shot gun cans placed i'll water at so
deg, is the best creamery ever devised.
Three-fourtns of pound of butter in
every 100 pounds of milk will be lost if
the milk is allowed to fall 25 deg. before
setting it, Skim milk before it sours
Four hours before you can detect acidity
in milk, cream ceases to rise, no matter
how much there yet remains in it.
Aroma is developed in acidity, and that
acidity is Tactic acid, acting upon the
butter fats.
"What shall we churn in? In a re-
volving churn. Churning is simply to
wear out the buttermilk, and give the
globules chance to get together. You
cannot break butter globules. Then
use some revolving or swing churn
without floats inside Of it. Donot work
butter on a worker nor salt it there.
Wash it when the granules are small,
and salt in the churn. When washed
perfectly free from buttermilk, and all
the water has run out that will, then
with paddle evenly distribute the but
ter in the churn, then make brine out
of two quarts of water and quart Of
salt, the water having been boiled; pour
in just enough of this to cover the bot
tom, not to float it; work the butter
about little with a fork to allow the
brine to permeate it, after which put
on the cover Of the churn, and in a few
revolutions work the butter into small
balls or Jumps, which dip out and i'm
mediately pack for market. That is all
of it. Do not pack butter for fancy
marketing in pals holding more than
six pounds, nor with more than II per
cent of moistl e in it, More than that
the merchant will charge for. Do not
send any more butter to marketin balls.
Have the man churn and the lady pack
the butter.

Profitable Farming.

That noted successful farmer, Mr. L.
A. Terry, writes as follows to the Guilt
vatOr:

farming, not by growing single crop,
as wheat is grown in the Northwest, but

growth When at the farm of Wood
ward q jacques last Christmas [ saw
half-blooded Dorset lambs which out
weighed the half-bred Hampshires,
they being the same age and with care
alike.
The Dorsets are heavy sheep, and
should weigh as we'll all along when
lambs, and when matured, equal to the
Downs. The wool is white and strong,
and sells a little ahead of that of the
Downs. The feeces will weigh on the
average, five or six pounds on well-fed
sheep. [ consider them to be a verv
strong, hardy and profitable sheep.
Care and Feed of Breeding Stock.
To be successful with early spring
chickens, preparations should be made
during the fall and winter All stock
birds should be selected with great care
and placed in quarters by themselves
and their eggs gathered twice day, and
if hens are used instead of incubators
(the majority of farmers stick to the
hen) those that are laying every dav
should be selected for breeding stock,
tention. Wheat, buckwheat;; boiled
clover, and timothy cut fine and
steamed; any one and all Of these
things used in their diet, gives the yelk
of the eggs that rich golden orange color
SO much sought for in hotels, and unless
the yelk possesses this color great
many of the eggs will lack fertility.
This is why SO many fowls in confne-
ment lay eggs a majority of which
do not hatch; and chickens
from poor hatch lack vitality and will
not show the vigorous constitution as
do those where the hatch is good Too
much corn should be avoided as it is too
heating, and tends to increase fat; some
kind of green food should be given ev-
cry morning; potatoes and carrots
boiled and mashed and thickened with
bran; meat scraps once a week; the
grain of same kind spoken of, at noon,
and grit or gravel with corn at night,
makes a good diet for your breeding
stock. The males should be changed
every spring; they must have room for
plenty of exercise, for eggs from al in
active, lazy hen will not hatch. Good
exercise in the open air is very essen
tial, except in severe weather. As
fast as the hens become broody, re-
move to the Matching room until you
have a number large enough to place
the eggs under. The 1st of March is
early enough to set the hens.-MTS. j.

PANRAPO ON A Thief HUNT.
Citizens TerrOrIzed by a Series Of
Peculiar and Daring Burslarles.

Residents and police OF Pamrapo, Bergen
Point and Bayonne are in a state OF great ex-
citcment over the dongs OF a gang OF daring
thieves and are organizing measures to bring
tho culprits to a speedy realization OF Jersey
justice.

CURED with startling regularity since early
Spring, with the effect Of terrorizing the
people living at Bergen Point and Bayonne,

Latterly these midnight prowlers have
transferred their scenes OF operations to
PamrapO, where they have broken into dwell
ings and robbed them OF money and tewelry.
strangely enough, the burglars touch no
other property, and no matter what precau-
tions are taken by the good citizens OF that
place to securely lock up their houses before
retiring bolts and bars seem to be no obstacle
to the marauding gang.
The police OF Pamrapo have used all their
efforts to capture the burglars, but so far
without success, and vigilance committees
have been organized by the citizens, who pa.
trolled the streets for successive nights, but
did not succeed in making any arrests.

Mr.. Burgess was born in Sandwich, Barn
stable County, Mass, June 80, 1S4S, Of good
Boston family. He was graduated from Hnr-
ward University in 1871. His father later lost
all his property and Edward took the position
of instructor OF entomology in Harvard Uni
versity in 1873.
Mr.. Burgess was thorough yachtsman
and gave much careful thought to naval
architecture. He had warm personal friend
IN Gen. Charles j. Paine, another ardent de-
votee Of yachting.
Gen. Paine expressed his desire to bring
about an international race, and give the
English chance to win back the America
Cup. A syndicate OF prominent men was
formed to accept the challenge issued by the
English yacht GeneSta, and the services OF
Mr.. Burgess were secured for designing the
American yacht.
The result was the construction OF the
yacht Puritan, which carried on the honorS
In the great race In 1885.
There followed another challenge from Eng
land In the following year, and Mr.. Burgess
produced the Maytlower, which defeated the
Galatea.
The scotch despatched the Thistle to these
shores in 1887 to enter for the cup. Mr..
Burgess tried his hand at new design and
the Volunteer was the result. She beat the
Thistle in two races. These victories made
