Care of Lambs.

In the early spring there is nothing
better for sheep and young lambs
than to get them out to pasturage as
soon as there is fair start OF the
grass. But 1t must be remembered
that they must not be exposed TO
storms of rain or snow, for which
reason 1t is best to limit the pasturage
to location near the barn, or some
necessary shelter where they may be
confined during nights and storms.
1t is also we'll to hold farm pasturage
until there is a fair stool of grass, as
sheep are seldom satisfied with dry
fodder after once going to grass in the
spring. A grass diet promotes the
growth of lambs.

bother him. He looked on the map
and found Nantucket. "What funny

minutes he had forgotten the name.

of an old woman who has daughter

Nan to tuck her dress. She. would
say Nantucket. Now, can't you re-
member that?" "Oh, yes, 1 have 1T
now, said John. IL can't forget that. "
He went to the class, and when the
question was asked he began to pop
his fingers and became very much eX-
cited. At length the question came
to him. "All right, john" said the
teacher. "What is it?" "Nan-hem-

ak on his shoulder.

your father a grindstone?"
"Yes, SIR" said l.

patting me on the head, get me a

How could 1 refuse? 1 ran and soon
brought kettle full.
"How old are you, and what's your
name?" continued he, without wait
ing for a reply. Il am sure you are
one of the finest lads that ever have
seen: will you just turn a few min

On Curing Hay.

Or. Voelker, the celebrated chemist
of the Royal Agricultural Society, in
treating of the chemistry of haymak-
ing, says that where all the condi-
tions are favorable FOR prompt curing
there is practically no loss OF nutrltive
clements in the change from grass to
hay. When freshly cut, the relation
of the sugar and fermentable matter
to the water is such that at first no
fermentation is induced. AS water
is lost by evaporation, the percentage
OF sugar and fermentable matter
gradually increases, and If the pro-
cess OF curing is delayed or arrested,
there is likely to be more or less fer
mentation, followed by a loss of
nutritive matter II hay is exposed
to rains when only partly cured, there
will be some loss in nutrltive ele-
ments by the washing out of some OF
the soluble matter. 1t is always best
to continue and complete If possible
the process OF curing without inter
ruption, as the quality Of the result
ant hay will be of superior character.

All Quiet at Homestead.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 11.-At the ar
mories Of the National Guard this
morning the men began mastering
early in the morning, and making prep
arations for the journey but it will be
late in the evening before all arrange
ments can be completed, and the troops
assembled at Brinton, about miles be-
low Homestead The men take three
days rations and ammunition. Quite a
number of the members of the 18th are
mill workers, but from what could be
learned, none of them will let their
sympathies interfere with their duties.
One Of them said: "It'll be a hard
thing for me to shoot into a crowd of
men who are bound to me by all the
ties of human interest and friendship;
but, when have my uniform on and
the command of fire. is given, 1 will
shoot, for when I entered the militia I
swore to protect the constitution and
government at all hazards" The other
men seen all expressed the same senti-
ment.
Sheriff McCleary said his subse-
quent actions shall be governed entire

PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-THE Phila-
delphia regiments making up the first

the first regiment left their armory to
take the cars for Mount Gretna. The
regiment was heartily cheered along
the route On account of its numerical
strength and fine soldierly appearance.
The train will be run in sections and
as rapidly as one pulls out from the
station another will follow.

brought the strikers up with q round

arrival of the troops meant loss to
them of the control they have exercised
