n A SHEEP RACK.
One That Has Beef Successfully Used
fna Inyv, St,fInu

One That Has Been Successfully Used at
the Iowa Station.
The general appearance of the flock
and the market condition of the wool
is very largely controlled By the feed
rack. A sheep with "a torn or chaffy
fleece is always an unsightly object,
besides the loss resulting from n part
Of the wool removed and the remainder
rendered more or less unstable. All
foreign matter in 4 fleece must be hand
separated before it is fit for manufac-
turing: and no matter when or where
this is done it is always at the expense
of the producer.
herewith furnish n description of a
rack that has been very satisfactorily
used at the Iowa experiment station
during n past winter. The cut pre-
scented represents Il of the racks in
use in the college barns. The suggcs-
ton came from a similar rack that the
writer saw in use on the farm of ii. e..
Mcdowell, of Canton, O., last season.
The rack is eight feet long, eighteen
inches wide and t~hirty-cight inches
high. This size is found convenient
for small pens, but any size may bt

A Western Trfumph.

The wonderful progress Of Chicago In the
manufacturing field during the past decade
has proved a genuine ~eye-opener TO Eastern
people, and many OF her own citizens while
dimly conscious OF her growth in this re-
spect are not fully alive to the immense
benefit which accrues to the city by tie
gradual location Of great manufactures in
her vicinity. In every day lines such rs
packing, milling and kindred Industries
Chicago has long been acknowledged the
king Bee" but it will surprise most peo-
pie to learn that In the manufacture Of
musical instruments also, the largest FAC.
tory in existence is located in Chicago.
Nevertheless It Is q fact that Lyon Il
Healy turn out more goods annually than
any similar factory in the world. Last year
their output was upward OF 100000 musical
instruments and this year judging by the
increase thus far the result will be con-
siderably greater, The instrupepts IRade-
by them inclnae Pianos. OfgtfsS Rsfps,
Guitars, Banjos, Mandolinsr Drums and
band instruments, and the quality Is 80 far
superior 20 the European product, that the
consumer cheerfully pays more money for
the homemade article. To the thinking
mind 1t is a real pleasure 10 know that oar
people have made such remarkable prog
gress In this artistic line, and To the W est
ern man particularly it is a matter Of pride
TO know that to his section belongs this
high distinction.

From wOodbine striving for the blue,
To homely Lavender and rue.
She loved the phlox on swayine stem,
The yellow lilies brief, sweet bliss;
The delicate graz elemltis,
And rustic Star Of Bethlehem:
She watched and tended all Of them.
And many a fragrant flower that yet

SALT BATHS.

Their Beneficial Results. Especially for
Children.
At this season of the year, when chill.
dren are apt to be languid with the APP
proach of warm weather. it is an excel
len time to start the habit of the daily
bath, if it is not already a part of the
regular regime of the day. With the
coming of the new summer and the
loneliness of the early morning hours
even the most indolent feels the impulse
toward early rising, and the very best
beginning of the day is n refreshing
bath, followed by some light food and
a vigorous walk in the open air. The
addition of n cup of rock salt to the
bath is a great advantage, and is espe-
cially soothing to the nerves of delicate
people who find the shock of cold wa
ter too severe Even indoors such n
path possesses much of the strengthen
ing, invigorating qualities of the
ocean wave. Rock salt is considera-
bly, cheaper than fine table salt,
and is quite as good for this
purpose. 1t should be thoroughly
dissolved, however, so that not one
crystal remains. When it is put in a
cold bath, it is better to dissolve the
salt in n little warm water first, though
not enough to change the temperature
of the bath perceptably. 1t is very i'm
portant that the salt be completely dis
solved as a single crystal NAV cut into
the skin. Where n little child is
feverish, and restless a warm salt bath
will sometimes induce sleep when
everything else fails. Let the temper.
AZURE of such n bath be about from
81 degrees to 80 degrees. Add a cup of
salt to every six gallons of water. Do
not rinse off the salt with fresh water,
but dry the child's skin thoroughly,
and rub it down with smooth, gentle
strokes of the hand. All this has a wo-
derfully pacifying effect, and a fretful
baby will often drop to sleep before you
are aware of it under such treatment
