sbeep as Weed killers.

AS eaters of brush and Doxious
plants, sheep will do good service, but
they must not be kept at 1t steadily,
OF they will grow thin, and their
feeces will suffer in consequence.
The flock must be compelled to browse
only few days at a time. After the
qualification of the diet ceases, there
is no longer profit in combining sheep
to such food. No other live stock de-
mand more constant change. If the
sheep be divided into several flocks,
one may follow another into field
where brush or weeds are becoming
troublesome, and each returned again
after a weeks relief on grass. Most
plants can be killed by removing the
leaves during the summer. The
bushes should be cut down, that the
flock may destroy them by eating
every new sprout. Briers are more
easily subdued early in the season.
Large fields should be browsed in
small plats by means of movable
fences. When grass has taken the
place of brush or weeds in one division
of the field, it may be used profitably
as an exchange pasture, every second
week. Several bells should be kept
on the flock browsing in the tall weeds
or brush. Sheep are very social, and
nothing will so soon cause cessation
of industry as a feeling of loneliness.
Bells also deter dogs from attacking
the flock hidden in an overgrown
field. The flock at this important
work must also have a regular and
abundant supply of pure water and of
salt, and be frequently visited by the
owner. That the cleaning of the land
is not the whole object of sheep keep
ing must be borne in mind. When
sheep are changed to other fields, or
to the fold, the time from shutdown to
dark is preferable, as then they are
satisfied with the days exercise and
food, and will follow with less trouble
and lie more quietly than at noon or
daybreak. Never drive flock
roughly. The sheep, which are
always led, make the best grade of
meat, and the fleeces are most uniform
in texture and market value.-[The
American Agriculturist.

The Republicans are claiming-or
they were-that grand old Gabriel
Bouck, of Wisconsin, had deserted
the Democracy on the Soldier" issue.
The denial of this sturdy veteran is
emphatic and streaked with robus;
profanity. There was no need of any
denial where Gabriel Bouck is known.
If ever there was a Gabriel whose
last trump would be sounded TO call
Republican sinners to repentance,
that one is Gabriel Bouck, the veteran
soldier and Democrat of Wisconsin.

Treat the Cows kindly.

Cows are naturally of the mildest
disposition of any four-legged ANNA
upon the farm, and they should be
treated kindly and not abused by the
mixers and drivers. The practice of
sending dog after them and allow
ing him to rush them into the milk
yard, exhausted and excited, is a
practice that will cost each year from
ten to twenty-five pounds Of butter
for every COW MIXED. Drive the
COWS leisurely to and from the past
ure. If you are in a hurry let the
driver make double-quick time when
he is going to and from the field not
accompanied by the cows. The
throwing of sticks, stones or other
missiles should be forbidden, and the
operation of milking should be done
rapidly and with but little or no talk
ing. Should COW make mis-step
or switch you unpleasantly during fly
time don't speak SO sharply as to
startle her. In many herds there are
often one or more cows which only a
certain member of the family can
milk. This indicates very plainly
that some onelis mild tempered, and
understands the cows disposition.
A box located at some accessible
point should contain at all times a
supply of salt. If salt is fed in heroic
doses once or twice each week, the
COWS will then gorge themselves,
cau,ing arrangement of the digestive
organs. Milk should not be applied
10 the teats to reduce the power re-
CURED in milking, for it does not, but
certainly adds filth to the milk OBJ
tanned, and in cold weather the wet
teat will become cracked and sore
All cows with a domineering nature
and sharp horns should be dehorned
Brass forrues at the tips OF the horns
lessen the danger but do not prevent

oLEANINos.

According to present indications
there will be but about half the usual
apple crop in New York State.
Diseases of plants are not due to the
weather, but the weather may be
favorable to their propagation from
pre-existing germs.
The worlds visible supply of wheat
is now the largest ever recorded at
this season Of the year, being in round
numbers 100000 bushels larger
than one year ago.
Put little pine tar in the hollow
beneath the under jaw and around
the breast of horses and colts that run
in pastures where the small varieties
of flies are plentiful. These little
pests are sometimes terribly annoying
One reason why very much corn
should not be fed to growing pigs is
that the surplus fat thus producer
will check the growth of bone and
muscle. The growth, of these should
be uniform with the making of flesh.
Where natural pond is located on
the poultry farm, by all means keep
ducks, for they are paying stock, and
spring ducks are in good demand all
through the summer. They are not
difficult birds to raise, but it is useless
to attempt to raise them for a profit if
there is not a pond near.
The refuse dust of tobacco factories
is a good dressing for cucumber vines
and almost any other kind of plant,
Fortunately few insects like tobacco.

worth all it costs as a fertilizer, be-
sides the service in saving vegetables
from insect attacks.

Tea.
book.

Tea should never touch metal. 1t
should be kept in paper, wood, glass
or porcelain. TO make il, put small
quantity in porcelain cup, fill the lat
ter with boiling water, cover it with
a porcelain saucer, and let it stand
three minutes. Then, if you desire to
be an epicure, drink only the upper
layer of the golden liquid, throw the
rest away, rinse the cup and begin
again. Never use sugar. DO not use
milk. 1t ruins the flavor Of the tea,
and the combination ruins the
stomach. So the Chinese say, and
they ought TO know their own bever-
age. Above all things, do not boil
tea.-Boston Globe.

Pure water For stock.

Live stock should be furnished with
pure water. If they are now obliged
TO quench their thirst for the greater
portion of the year from a pond or
slough hole, this condition should be
changed by the use of a well and
pump. The water can be raised
cheaply and in sufficient quantities by
a windmill lex.

Useful Household suggestions.

A scant cup of butter will often
make lighter cake than full cup.
Milk is better for being kept over
night in small tins than if large
quantity is kept over in one vessel.
1t is better to keep baked pastry in
cupboard rather than in refrigator
as it would be apt to get damp and
heavy in the latter place.
To keep jellies from molding, cover
them over with pulverized sugar to
the depth of quarter of an inch.
They will keep for years if this is
done
China may be mended so strong
hat it will never break again in that
place. Make a thick solution of gum
arabic and water, and stir in some
plaster of Paris until the paste is very
thick; apply it with brush TO the
edges of the broken china and sci
them carefully together, tie a string
around them and set away for three
days.
TO keep a high silk hat in fine con.
dition, use pad made of velvet OF
worsted plush, instead of brush fol
brushing it, smoothing it over with q
soft silk handkerchief frequently. II
any rough spots appear in the nap, APP
ply tlatiron (not 100 hoD and smooth
them over, then use the pad and sill
handkerchief.-Good Housekeeping

The Making of Paper Money.

The Berkshire Hills, or, to be par
ticular, that portion of the hills i'll and
around Pittsfield, Mass, enjoy the dis
tinction of being the place Of manu-
facture of all the paper used in
making the governments legal tender,
distinction which it has continued to
enjoy uninterruptedly ever since the
issue of paper money by our govern
ment began. 1t is also worthy of
note that these same hills have a silk
mill wherein is made all the tiny par
ticles Of silk thread which cover the
surface of the completed note. So
that, on the whole, this part of Mass
achusetts may well lay claim to the
monopoly of the money making in
dustry. When the paper of which the
bills are made leaves the machine, it is
cut into sheets 81 inches wide by l34
inches long, each sheet containing
four notes. A thousand sheets weigh
II pounds, and 5000 pounds is the
average amount which the govern
ment requires every year. The silk
threads of various colors which cover
the surface of the notes are each three
ei9hths Of an inch in length. They
are made just like ordinary silk
thread, except that they are not
twisted as much as the ordinary ar
tice. Col. Brown, the Government
inspector who looks after the work at
the Berkshire mills. says that the use
of these silk threads has greatly dim
finished the governments losses by
counterfeitiug, those losses being now
very small, owing TO the fact that the
arrangement of the distribution of the
threads is altered with each new issue
Of notes. Those who handle the
notes, being notified of each change,
are easily enabled to detect counter
feits, something they were not able to
do prior 10 1865, when plain paper
was used Portland Transcript.
