Making a Good Salad.

Have your salad bowl, which is,
of course, one sufficiently large to
allow the salad a thorough tossing
without sprinkllng either the
maker or the table. cloth, rubbed
with onion, and the lettuce leaves,
which have been carefully washed
and thoroughly dried, brought to
the table in it, writes Frances E.
Lanigan in December Ladies'
Home Journal. 1t is we'll to al
low the lettuce to lie in ice water
for an hour before you are ready
to use it, in order that it may be
crisp aud cold. Lettuce is one of
the things which incorporates
with great rapidity any substance
with which it comes it contact,
and consequently the flavor of the
onion becomes pleasing, but
not predominant, portion of the
dressing. To make dressing suffi-
cient for from six to ten persons
measure with your wooden or sill
yer salad spoon six spOonfuls of
oil, to be poured as you measure
it upon the lettuce, and the leaves
thoroughly tossed in it. Then
dissolve in two saladspoonfuls of
vinegar, two saltspoOnfuls of salt,
pour over the leav es, and, after
another thorough tossing, serve
The great secret of French dress
ing is, that given the proper pro-
portion, each leaf shall be thOrO-
ughly mOistened, and for this reas-
on stress is laid upon the tossing
and mixing in the bowl. Salad is
served after the meat or game
course.

Sheen,

Does anyone know for fact that the
horned Dorset sheep that are the subject of
so many big stories at the present time are
any better than several races which we have
bred the horns off from with great care and
patience. Horns are much more in the way
on sheep than on cattle, and filling the
country with a race of horned sheep will
undo the work of century III that line and
should not be done without some CORE
spending advantage over any of our horn
less breeds, and this does not appear IN that
part of the description of the Dorsets that
it would be safe to believe
Just now large part of the show pens
are filed with Slr0pshires, and the name
seems TO take the place of Judgment in So
lection for too many of them are long
neckcd naked limbs. and show marks Of
poor feed or weak constitution. 1t is
doubtful if there is any pure English breed
of sheep that is better for our farms AMI
farmers than the Southdown, although its
antiquity places II at a disadvantage in re-
gard to fashion. Several breeds which
have been originated by crossing the South
down with larger breed have flourished
for a few years as improved
races but they lack She harlihood and
sdaptahility for hcr',ing in fair sized ilocks
and on short pastures. The Devon cattle
are holding their own in this State among
men who know the needs and capabilities
of their pastures, and Southdown sheep
have at least rs many claims 10 favor in
similar localities. One of the leading farm.
ers of Massachusetts said more than ffty
years ago that sou,bjown ram wnuid
improve any flock he was crossed with. AMI
with all the improvements it Is probably a.
true now a. il was then, and many Of the
long-necked naked-iiml,..,l Hat ribbed
sheep shown at the fairs show the need Of
inst such a cross ithont regard 10 the
name they 90 by. II is admitted hy many
farmers that we must raise lambs, wool and
mutton to make money from sheep ia these
times, although there are some OF the
breeders Of heavy Mcrinos who seem con
tent to continue 10 breed for wool and
grease, and wben sheep are shown with but
little mark of either of these points ii looks
as If there was lack in system.--agl III
