Sheep are fond OF variety OF food
and thrive upon 1t.
Sheep have a good coat OF wool, yet
they need good shelter from storms.
If the sheep are fed sulphur, keep
them dry for few days after feeding.
Having the ewes in good, thrifty
condition at Landing is better than
fat ~"
An occasional pet lamb in the flock
will help materially to keep the flock
tame.
Feeding on low, wet land produces
an unfavorable condition for the
sheep
One advantage with making a start
in the sheep business Is that it re-
quires only small amountof capital.
BY having the greater proportion Of
the sheep ewes, two profits can be Sc
cured with the lambs and with the
wool.
A thorough understanding with
each would just be worth thousands
of dollars to the wool growers OF the
country.
Be careful and tag all Of the sheep
and especially the ewes that are suck
ling lambs before turning out into
the pastures.

A Remarkable Royal Family.

About the granite pedestal of the
bronze memento presented to the King
and Queen of Denmark on the occasion
OF their golden we lding is a row OF bas-
relief portraits OF the fifty-one children
and grandchildren of the house. The
most remarkable thing about the group
is that out OF the fifty-one descendants
only one is dead, the Duke of Clarence.
Few women can count, upon their fifth
eth anniversary, a family Of fifty living
descendants, numbering among them a
daughter who is an empress, son who
Is a king, and another daughter who
will be queen when Queen Victoria is
gathered to her fathers.

SNAP" Is the name OF one Of the
cutest dogs In the country. He Is fine
little fox terrier puppy, beautifully
marked. but he Is devoting his young
life to missionary work in the Harlem
Hospital.
He never misses an ambulance call,
being always ready for the ride long
before the doctor who answers the call,
and when the injured person is once In
the wagon he watches over him or her
with increasing vigilance.
Only two or three days ago he saved
one OF the doctors from serious injury
at the hands OF an insane patient. The
doctor was sitting on the rear seat OF
the ambulance, while Snap watched the
patient. BY some means the man re-
leased the upper portion OF his body
from the restraining straps and was
about to strike the surgeon on the head
when Snap saw the danger and jumped
at the man. He BIT his nose so badly
that the doctor was made aware of the
condition Of affairs and. with the aid of
a pole eman, again strapped the man
down.-New York Advertiser.

CuItivatine Potatoes.


With long, straight rows, as they
should be laid out, and good two
horse sulky cultivator an acre of
potatoes or corn may be thoroughly
worked, going once in row in an
hour. The old plan of running twice
in a row is obsolete and worse, than
useless. The way we manage is to take
of the cultivator teeth, put on the
harrow or "bull-tongue," chisel-
pointed steel teeth, set the frame to
take the full width row, but not so
as to iniure the growing crop and
with tenders on each side Of the out
side teeth to keep the loose soil from
falling on the growing plants, the
machine stirs every particle of soil
between the rows, going to a depth
OF from three to four inches Our OBJ
jet is not to plant more than we can
thoroughly work. We find it pays TO
keep the cultivator running between
the rows Of corn, potatoes and beets
after every heavy rain, not working
the soil, however, until it is dry or
will crumble. BY so doing, the soil
is always loose and mellow, and the
weeds do not get chance to grow.
Our potatoes and corn usually receive
sour such CIVILIZATIONS, and sometimes
five BY harvest all cultivation
ceases, as the corn and potatoes are
large enough to cover and shade them
and very few weeds show themselves
after this. II any large ones appear,
they are pulled out by hand. --Balti-

enjoyed the exclusive use OF the front

The sound grew rapidly louder and
more confused.

her cheek fading noticeably.
His arm no longer rested lightly
about her waist: his eyes no longer
looked softly into hers. He was

listening to the increasing uproar.
An instant later a puff of smoke
shot through the keyhole of the door
and the next they knew the small
boy OF the family burst into the
room, pale and speeches. with fright.
The acute mind OF the lover quickly
OWNED the situation.
"Fire!" he yelled.
The boy nodded and pointed to the
door.

an agony OF terror.

the sofa. The signing swain needed

Artificial Method ofswarminc.

Concerning an artificial method of
swarming bees, an authority says: II
you have any brood combs left over
from last year, 1t will be Of great ben
eft to use them in the brood cham
Der Of your new swarms This can be
done by fastening them in the brood
frames Of your new hives; or If the old
hives are Of the same shape and size,
then the frame with the combs can
be hung in place Of the empty frames,
which will save valuable time and
trouble. II your bees are about to
swarm you can take frame or two of
such stocks and exchange for as many
of the empty or old combs as you have
taken OF full brood and bees, being
careful that you know which hive the
queen is In, which does not make
much difference so you give the hive
plenty of empty combs in which you
have left or placed the queen l Of
ten leave the queen in the old stock
and give her plenty combs, taking
most Of the brood ana bees for the
new swarm and placing them in a
new location, leaving the old stand
with the queen and say one frame of
brood, with plenty of empty combs as
before mentioned for the use of the
queen in the old location. She will
in a few days fill them full of eggs.
Your new swarm will raise a queen
for themselves in the course of ten to
fifteen days. Ifyou have queen cells
ready capped over at the time of
making your artificial swarms, give
them the advantage of such and you
will save valuable time for the bees

the pure water they want.
IT is not best to undertake to keep
the pigs during the summer without
feeding at least some grain.
EVERY horse owner should have a
box stall or two In the barn. Box
stalls are often convenient anG useful.

FEAR of CHOLERA.


Danger that It May bs introduced Into
this Country in the sprlag.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 22.-The
continued prevalence of cholera in Eu-
rope excites apprehension in admins
tration circles. The hope entertained
thatthe dread disease had been extir.
pated is dissipatedin in the face ot reports
Of new cases, and the conviction Is now
forced upon government officials that
as predicted by many scientists that
the disease viii appear with increased
violence in the spring.
United States Consul Estes, ut Ham
burg, to-day increased the uneasiness
felt by sending the following cablegram:
yesterday two cases, to-day four;
one death.
Commenting on this, Assistant secre-
tary Sparlding said the situation was
far from reassuring and was in effect q
notice that this government must not
let down the bars or relax its exertion
tokeep cholera from gaining foothold
in the United States. The joint COM
Smittee on immigration of the senate
and house, not satisfied with collecting
huge volumes OF matter relating to i'm.
migration and preventing the predicted
introduction Of cholera next year, has
decided to send committee to Cuba
during the holiday recess to gather adj
.ditional information. The sub-com-
mittee is charged with investigating
the character OF immigration from the
West Indies and the danger OF con-
tagions from those islands to this coun-
try through Key West.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 22-The
McGarrahan bill had the attention OF
the senate for half the time that to-day's
session lasted, and Mr.. Hunton, (Detn.,
Va closed his three days speech in Its
favor.
Several senators intended to speak in
opposition, aud on that account, sug-
eestion to have a day and hour fixed
foryoting on it, after the holidays, did
not meet with favor. The bill, however,
retains its privileged place IN the
morning hour.
A like attempt was made ii regard to
the anti-option bill, after Mr.. Potter,
Populist, Kansas,) had finished his
speech in its favor, but as objection was
made, Mr.. Washburn, rep. Mimi de-
clared his intention Of pressing for the
bill's consideration and for a vote after
the reassembling OF the senate, even at
the expense Of 4 long session. BE as
serted that the bill was favored by a
considerable majority Of senators, by
nine-tenths Of the whole people, and by
ninety.nine hundredths fthe farmers
Of the country.
Another important subject which,
according to notice given by Mr.. Chand-
Ter (Rep.) OF New Hampshire, Is to be
pressed for consideration Immediately
after the holiday recess, is the bill to
restrict and prohibit immigration,
which was reported to-day from the
committee on immigration, but which,
according to the statement OF Mr. Hill

committee, Is not in all respects such q
