A FEW TOUGH KNOTS.

The principle of a knot is that no
two parts, which would move in the
same direction if the rope were to
slip, should lie alongside of and touch
ing each other. The bowline is one OF
the most useful knots; it will not slip,
and, after being strained, is easily I'M
tied. 1t should be tied with
facility by every one who handles
rope. Commence by making q blight
in the rope, then put the end through
tho blight and under the standing part,
as shown in &: then pass the end again
through the blight and haul tight The
square or reef knot must not be mis-
taken for the granny" knot that slips
under a strain. Knots II, X and NJ are
easily united after being under strain.
The knot NJ is useful when the rope
passes through an eye and is held by
the knot, as it will not slip and is cas-
lily united after being strained The
timber-hitch s looks as though it
would give way but it will not; the
greater the strain the tighter it will
hold. The wall knot looks compiler
ted, but is easily made by proceeding
as follows: Form a bigh with strand
]. and pass the strand around the
end of it, and the strand around tn e
sepd of 2, and then through the blight Of

THE MODEL SHEEP.

II Should Have . Long Bbdy Set Cpoa
Skeet legs.
As yearly all the edible meat in q
sheep Is found in the quarters and but
little found elsewhere, we should aiin
to breed them with rs large quarters
as possible. This can only be accom-
plishcd by bfeeding from sires with
great width of thighs and prominent.
broad chests, having also long, sloping
shoulders and hip bones extending
well forward; animals of this form
will always have edible meat nearly
down to the knees and gambrils This
is what pleases the eye of the butcher,
for the reason that no customer will
ever ask him to cut off u pound of
bone every time sale is make, Give
us, then, sheep with long body, set
upon short legs. whose principal
weight lies in his quarters and net in
his belly. His forward end must DO
large in order to give him heart and
lung capacity. without which he is no
sheep. His hind end must be large
and loin strong, in order to furnish
high priced meats, and render him
prepotent Giveune q sheep with two
good ends, says DR.. c. ID. Smead.
Now we have got the form, sec that
it is we'll and evenly covered with a
fleece wool that is even in quality,
medium in texture, free from hairs and
black wool and having density in n
large degree. If it can be made to
grow well down upon the face, or down
| the leg even to the toes, there is no
objection. But never spoil a hind.
quarter in striving to get an extra tuft
of wool upon the face or nose. Keep
the mutton form perfect; then get all
the wool you can.
| The next plank in our platform is
size. This ia question of vital i'm
portance. IT we get too small an AMI.
| NAL we will run the risk OF losing
some of the popularity that we have
already gained. Again, if we strive to
produce too large an animal we run the
risk of producing one that is too coarse
| in its makeup to please the eye of the
dealer, as we'll as to produce an animal
that will lack constitutional vigor and

ALL AROUND THE FARM.

HEAT is necessary to the process of
notification, and for this reason more
is done during the summer than any
other time, while the hot, dry weather
is more in furious to a naked soil than
at any other season. So it is an item
to have a soil that is to be built up pro-
tected during the summer by a growth
of some kind.
IT pays to feed meal to cows giving
milk, and if a COW insists on having it
every time she does q good turn by
forcing us to be regular. OF all losses
incurred by American farmers scarcely
any one is greater than that which
c',mes from allowing cows to fail in
their milk for want of sufficient food
of kind that answers their require
ments.
ONE of the very best places to keep
sweet potatoes during the winter is q
tight loft or room over the kitchen, SO
constructed that the heat from below
can readily be utilized in warming the
the loft or upper room. The two i'm
portant things about keeping sweet
potatoes in winter are to keep them
dry and warm en- ough to prevent their
freezing.
THE coming farmer will have better
implements and machinery with which
to cultivate his farm. He will employ
his mind to rest his hands. He will do
more headwork on the farm. He will
aid in uniting the agricultural inter-
ests of his neigh borhood into union
of strength, a power that will be avail
able at all times in the maintenance
and protection of honest labor and
American production.
MILK is a very oily substance, and
greases the clothing with which it
comes in contact 1t is point of both
neatness and economy in mixers to
use cloth aprons when drawing the
tactical fluid from the COW. If the
apron is slit half way up. and each Zap
tied around the mixers knees, free
dom of movement is secured and pro-
lection to clothing from all spatters
vouchsafed.--Am Cultivator.
EXPERIENCE has proven that while
trees on which stable manure was used
were healthy and vigorous, yet they
were short-lived, while such as were
fertilized by ashe were equally vigor-
Gus and far more durable. The conclu-
sions thus forced upon us were that
heavy applications of potash and bone
made healthy trees, while any large
amount of nitrogen led to the yellows
and other diseases. II. Hale.

ADJUSTABLE WAGON SEAT.

It Costs hut Little and Is n source OF

There are a great many farmers who
still stick to the old-fashioned wagon
bed with detachable sideboards, which
has many advantages over the other
kind on the farm. This necessitates
working the rubber with a lever. which
is ready for use at all times. with bed
off or on. II was this idea which
brought to my mind the adjustable
wagon-seat, which almost any farmer
can readily make I have often thought,
when riding over rough roads. of the
moving machine seat which is in use
only about two weeks in the year.
My first idea was to remove tho bolt
which fastens it to the machine and
bolt it to a bottom board of the wagon
bed, but l knew it would make q very

Insect Pest. a blessing.

At the recent meeting of the North
ern Illinois horticultural society. Prof.
Hartwell. of Dixon, said he thought
insect enemies a blessing, because the
Industrious, wide-a wake grower who
keeps them at bay receives much
better return for his labor and pains
than would be possible if there were
no enemies to fight. If all grew as
large yields as is possible, there would
be no market. J. V. Gotta thought the
blessing was lin disguise" Tho
rabbits one winter ruined hundreds of
nursery trees for him. This caused
him to exert himself to invent sons
remedy for their destruction. Both
the effort put forth and the remedy
found (arsenic in various foods OF
which the rabbits are fond) were
beneficial to him, but the damage they
did much more than balanced the
