PURE WATER SUPPLY.
Why 1t should Reoslve the Most Careful
Attention of Farmers.

The law that governs water, the We
hicle which transports the energy OF
the soil into and through the plant and
animal, and the harmonious operation
of this law, in conjunction with the law
Of nutriment, should receive our care
full attention. AS water is the snb-
stance which carries all food for plants
and animals into and out of circulation.
IL becomes of the utmost Importance.
II the laws which govern all else be
practically known and the knowledge
of the part which water plays in
growth and production be wanting, our
efforts will not reach the highest sue
cess. 1t is not enough that water is
present in suitable quantities, it must
be palatable and easily accessible; just
enough and not too much. Better u
shortage of food than of water, better
jrregularity in feeding than in water
ing, for If the ration be temporarily de-
ficient and the vehicle for transporting
the reserve stored in the system I've
present, no great harm will result
But no matter how much nutriment
may be stored or otherwise present. it
the universal carrier, water, is lacking,
not only can no work of nutrition hn
done, but the system Immediately be-
comes feverish and diseased.
So to the dairyman / may say that If
his herd, however poor, is made uncom-
Portable because of GOODNESS or poorness
or inaccessibility of the water supply,
he would better study hydraulics before
buying thoroughbreds. And to the
grain raiser might say that he would
better pay strict attention to set free
more plant food by better culture and
by outstanding farm manures, before
investing in commercial fertilizers; for
possibly if he utilities what he already
has, according to law, he will have lit
tie lack. And to all breeders and cul.
tivators of plants, may not say that il
might be better to make it more com
Portable for the plants and animals
which are already possessed, in order
that they may make the best use of the
operations of the laws which govern
them, whether they be scrub or thor
oughbred, before buying that which is
too advanced for our present state Of
knowledge. 1t is possible that part
of what we have is good and all that is
lacking is opportunity. AS the stream
cannot rise above its source, so the ami
NAL cannot be better than its breeder
And to the breeders of thoroughbreds
may say, that it might be well to adopt
the practice of that great Shorthorr
breeder, Mr.. Bates, ''never to sell /
good animal to careless farmer. y

Muscular Deye,opment and Fat.

Most people have an impression that
fat means health and leanness weak
ness, if not illness, says the Northwest
ern Agriculturist. But fat is always
an indication of disease, or at least of
decline in vital force. There is differ
ence between muscular development
and fat. Animals that have been fed
literally with muscle producing food
from birth to maturity have "a more or
less perfect development of the mus
cular system, but not an excess of fat
This comes from close confinement and
high feeding with fattening diet. Such
course of feeding impairs digestion
and renders the animals barren, or
capable of producing only weak off
spring, Animals fed for the show-ring
are seldom prolific, but are generally
kept only for show, until they have
reached an age where they are no long
err valuable for this purpose, and then
they go to the butcher.

WASHING SHEEP.
A Protest Against n Cruel But Very Pop
ular Practice.

A Protest Against IA Cruel But Very Pop
ular Practice.
The time for washing sheep will soon
be here, and sheep raisers will be com
PEELED to construct pens and washing
places, and drive their sheep mile or
two over dusty road thereto and
souse them into the water and then
drive them back over the same dusty
road, the wool being in no better con-
dition and the sheep in a much worse
condition than before the preparation
of the farce. 1t is positive injury to
sheep to be chased and damned around
in a pen and then unceremoniously
source of colds which often lead to
catarrh and consumption. Wool can be
washed better and cheaper after it has
been taken off of the Sleeps backs by
the manufacturer of wooden goods.
Buyers cannot tell washed wool from
unwashed in many cases, which is
ample proof that the practice is farce
and should be abandoned Brother
farmers is there no way to put Il stop
to this useless and cruel practice? !
sincerely hope there is, and that the
way may be discovered soon. Whose
ever is instrumental in bringing about
this result will be rewarded, if in no
other way, by having his name Ego
laundering down the ages as public
benefactor. - Frank Leslie, III Ohio

Fancy Scran-BaSket.

A new style of a scrap-basket can be
cheaply made by taking the sides of a
past box and cutting them into
lengths of about twenty-five inches.
Punch holes through the pasteboard on
either side and then lace them into the
form of an oblong box, with different
colored lace or ribbon strings. Two of
the corners should be tied by double
Topped ribbon or string, with tassels
hanging down. The top of the basket
should be covered with ribbon, laced
down by silk cord. On the panel-like
sides of the scrap-basket paint back
ground of yellow, blue or terra Gotta.
Any kind of appropriate panel pictures
such as flowers, tall grass or marine
views-may be painted on the sides.
Large, faring puffs of silk half way
down either corner of the basket should
complete the design. Such cheap
scrap-basket is a splendid ornament for
any room.-N. Y. World.

Rice with Apples: Pare as many
apples as will fill your pudding dish;
core them and stew them until they are
nearly soft, but do not allow them to
cook long enough to fall in pieces. Boil
one-half teacupful of rice and when
nearly done add little salt, sugar and
one pint of milk. Place the apples in
your pudding dish, fill the core of each
apple with sugar, turn the rice over the
apples and bake until nice even brown
appears on top This is very nice dish
with sauce, but the addition of good
cream and sugar will make it exquisite,

great utility to gardeners is cheap
hand roller, which is run on the row

them and fill the place with fresh earth
at once, leaving it without pressing
