Sopth dOwn sheep.

Perhaps no breed of domestic animals
has cen more successfully impr we'd by
judic Gus selection in breeding than the
Southdown sheep. After 50 years Of care
ful breeding we have, to-day, nearly
perfect mutton and short wooded breed
Our modern Southdowns have no horns,
their faces and legs are dark brown; fore
quarters are wide and deep; the back and
loins are broad and the ribs are beautifully
sprung; the headquarters are square and
full, the rail is well-set, and the legs are
comparatively short-with a fine bone
In short, the breed Is almost a perfect
type of ovine symmetry. But our best
breeders are still endeayoring to make
improvement, The hardness ana sound
constitution of the modern Southdown are
two of the best qualities. and care must
be exercised so as not to breed them out.
These enable Southdowns to adapt them
selves to almost unlimited changes of
climate, soil and management. For rich
ness and delicacy of flavor, for iuiciness
and tenderness, there is no mutton that
can equal that of the Southdowns. Their
early maturity its them for the SHAMELESS
at from II to Is months, when they weigh
about 80 pounds, and at two years they
weigh from 100 to 120 pounds These
sheep are docile and thrive we'll on arti-
fetal pastures and with ordinary treat
mept. The ewes average from six to eight
pounds of wool; yearling rams eight to
twelve pounds. The ewes are good moth
ers and very prolific, averaging, per
flock of 100 ewes, from l20 to $50 lambs.
The dense and compact fleece of South
downs is one of tue most useful of our
woods; short in staple, fine and curling,
with spiral ends, it is generally used for
carding purposes. Other breeds OF sheep
crossed by the Southdown ram uniformly
partake Of the more important character
istics of the latter. This is not concen-
trated in either wool, carcass or form alone,
out in all these characters combined

FARM NOTES.

The best blooded stock in the world is
In the United States
Sheep husbandry will unquestionably in
crease duLing few years to come.
The high price of grain and feed re-
quires good stock 10 feed it to, to pay a
profit as il should on the feed and on the
stock. Scrub stock will not do that.
Trim the gooseberry plants with IA
open head, so that air and sunlight can
get right to the center. In this way you
can probably avoid mildew.
A quicker market and better prices are
waiting for the good bac.n hog than FOR
the heavy lard hog. Do not feed for the
latter If you are after profit.
Try to raise horses of uniform quality
as possible but uniformly good. By so
doing team may be mated up and sold
at a higher price than the two would
bring if sold separately.
There is nothing like milk to produce
milk. If you have litter of young pigs
that you wish 20 fOrce along rapidly, put
all the milk you can In the Sow'S trough,
and then watch them grow.
The bottom of straw stack gets wet
and heats easily. Then when the hogs
nest there they get over heated and breed
disease. Do not leave them there at night,
even if you 90 in the day time.
Get good frst-class COW, give her plenty
Of good tirst-class food, with good water,
| and yet neglect to make her comfortable
in the stable, and we shall fail to get out
OF her all that we might.

But were our wish granted, were some
unwise and over-frank being to give US
our portrait with Photographic fidelity,
we would shrink as we do from some of
those unhattering negatives which might
take the vanity out of Narcissus himself.
We must take different point of view
from the Quaker. Not until we go little
deeper into the we'll where truth hides
herself can we learn the right lesson and
make allowances for ''human various.
Every one is peculiar" to some one else,
and the wisest plan is to arrive at the con-
clusion reached by two intimate friends
who, in the seclusion of their sewing
rooE, were discussing their neighbors.
Neither was a gossip; nevertheless mild
species of dissection was in operation,
when one of them merrily exclaimed,
eve find so many oddities in people
whom every one else accepts as common
place that it must be we who are
peculiar"
The old proverb will not fit the case.
1t is precisely because we do not live In
glass houses, and cur motives and sp ings
of action are so obscure, even to ourselves,
because we are not and cannot be trans
parent, that we must refrain from casting
the first stone. We must cease to think
and speak of peculiar people; and take
our friends as we do our fowers-discreet-
ly avoiding the sharp points, and enjoying
their beauty and sweetnes5-for

The Girl Who Exaggerates.

A good many girls-girls who mean to
be truthful-drlft into a little habit Of ex-
aggerdtion that in time will become some.
thing more. A girl with a vivid imagi-
nation hears the story told and, seized
with a desire to Guido her companion,
tells a marvellous one. which is absolutely
without existence except ia her own brain.
1t is fiction that will hurt nobody, she
thinks. That's where she is mistaken.
Every time she does this sort of of thing
she hurts herself. She makes her con.
science weaker, and almost before she is
conscious Of it she will be telling things
that will cause mischief She will ruin
herself moral y and mentally. and people
will speak of her as one who is not to BIZ
trusted, and who is undesirable as d
friend. She becomes the sort of woman
about whom IN time pnople will say: 81
prefer her enmity TO her friendship, be-
cause when she is my enemy she doesn't
know about my private affairs and can t
eyaggerate them and tell them to every
boiy; whereas, while she is my friend she
may, without meaning to do it, tell In de-
tail all of my life, and make me very un-
comfortable. y Fancy having made
yourself so undesirable that your enmity
is preferred to your friendshj pit is
possible. Now, stop In time. With the
first inclination to give the history of two
thousand than of two cats, put memory
ribbon in your frock, and whenever you
feel the inclination to enlarge upon stories
already told, that little ribbon will hutter
a warning and remind you to stop ID time

Get Fresh Seeds.

The first item tward procuring a good
garden for the coming season is to have
good seeds. 1t is not very wise plan to
rely npon the village grocer, and when you
are just ready to plant buy of him such
sorts as he may have on hand. You may
get good, fresh stock. and you may get
some that has been on hand a season or
| two-long enough to have lost their VI
tality, or large proportion of it; but, in
| any event, you will not have the same
chance of making a careful selection of
best varieties that you would If you will
take the catalogue of some trustworthy
| scotsman and study and select from it,
and place your order al least month be-
| fore you want to begin work. You may
| place your order direct, or get dealer TO
| do it for you, but the great thing Is to be
sure Of having fresh seeds ana OF getting
the very best varieties. The list should be
made up SO as to include everything that
you will want through tn seas2n, so there
| mag be no delay or annoyance uough
having to wait fer seeds when you are
ready to go on with your work. The orde-
for seeds should be placed with view to
keeping up a succession Of planting of the
principal vegetables throughout the sea-
| son; corn, beans, peas, beets. cabbages,
| etc, are quite as valuable Tor laie garden
as for early. 4 garden that is ali planted

Creamery I2utter.

One of the least variable of farm prod
ucts, so far as price from year to year is
concerned, is standard creamery butter.
This may be seen by comparing quotations
of about the same date for four years past.
At Etgin, October s, 1888, butter sold at
"a; October 7, 1889, at 25Ma; October 6,
1890, at 24c; October 5, 1891, at $3.50.
This shows that one may have tolerabiy
certain basis upon which to figure in go
ing into the dairy business if they manu-
facture good grade of creamery butter.
There is, perhaps, no Other product of the
farm which has ductuated so little in
price or upon which we can calculate
the price for a year ahead with any de-
gree of certainty. II we could now elimi-
nate the uncertain element of cost of pro-
duction we could at least have one branch
of agriculture upon as firm and business
like foundation as is any manufacture in
the country. We wish the same uniform
ity of price could be brought to apply to
the product of the private dairy. Perhaps
it will in time-when all private diaries
make good butter.

Later.

A dispatch from 81. Catherine Point
tonight states that it was finally decided
to be the safer plan to land the passengers
and mails. At the time the Elder sUruck
the weather was very foggy and it was
only possible to see objects a short dis
lance away.
The passengers we're somewhat startled
at first, but soon became treasured by the
news that there was no danger So conf
dent were the passengers in the assurances
of the captain of the Elder that they
were reluctant to quit the vessel in
life boat when the life savers first reached
the steamer and offered to transfer the
passengers to the shore. SO the life boat
was returned
When the Brightstone life boat came
along later on, the captain again refused
the offered hel p, and the boat started to re-
turn. The crew had only rowed short
distance, however, when Mr.. Ashenden
decided as the steamer still re-
manned fast on the ledge and there
| seemed but little likelihood of her
getting atioat that it would be the safest
plan to go ashore, and he thereupon
shouted for the life savers 20 come back.
| He entered the boat with twelve others.
Soon afterward two more life boats began
landing the passengers as Quickly
as possible. These took refuge tempo-
rarily at hotel while those
landing at Brightstone, proceeded to
London. The passengers concur in tho
statement that there is no apparent dam
age to the vessel.
| Another report shows that the captain
of the Elder declined the services of life
boats until noon expecting to hold out I'M
TIL the arrival of tugs. A strong south
west wind arising accompanied by
rain storms, he signaled ashore for
help. The vessel listed slightly to port as
the tide receded. Although she appeared
close to shore it was found impossible to
| reach her by double rockets. AS the tide
ebbed the wind fell. By nightfall six
tugs arrived and are awaiting an attempt
to tow the vessel off, which will be made
In the morning.
The landing of the passengers became
somewhat risky after o'clock in theeven
ing when the wind which was blowing
ashore, freshene9 considerably and almost
blew gale. The captain took precautions
to save the large amount of money the on
steamer. He gave orders to have it carried
to the deck, and large number of bags
containing all told $500, 900 in specie were
soon piled on the side facing the shore.
The big sum of meney was so
arranged that should tie necessity
arise it could be sunk in a
place of safety among the rocks. Capt.
Addison, one of the passengers, highly
praises the conduct of the captain and
the crew when the accident happened.
He says there was not the slightest con-
fusion or excitement visible among either
officers or men during all the trying time

state committee and the horn of Cleveland
was exalted. This was strictly machine
politics. but as it was Cleveland machine
it was all right and virtucus and the eter-
nal verities of the constitution were
proclaimed. The story of a Cleveland
victory went out over the country.
Friends of the ex-president de-
termined to follow this up with
two or three strong movements. In
some western states they control political
machines. Plans were Immediately made
to hold early conventions and declare for
Mr.. Cleveland.
News of these designs reached Senator
Hills ears, for he has friends now in
every state of the union. Something had
to be done quickly. Instead of the west,
New York, the pivotal state. should lead,
and not Cleveland but Hill should lead the
boom. That was all fair in politics, as
politics goes. Word was sent to the state
committee to hurry up. Somehow the
news of what was planned got out and
spurred the Cleveland men to action

1t is Brought to the Official Notice OF the
United States.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The horrors Of
the Russian famine were brought to the at
tention of the state department today in a
report from Minister Smith at st. Peters
burg. He says in part: Gold as well as
hunger causes terrible suffering. In some
neighborhOods large numbers OF people
huddle together In bouses most conducive
to warmth. Barns are torn down and
the boards used for frewood even thatch-
ed roof are torn off and the straw made to
feed the dying embers. Clothing is
given away for bread. Horses and cottle
are sacrificed at 1.-THE of their value.
Fodder is as scarce as human food ard in
some cases no. Sc flesh is sacrificed for
sustenance. During the winter there is no
work and fathers have left their wives and
children to fight the battle Of want alone,
because they could do nothing and their
absence left fewer mouths to feed at
home.
The bread which many are eating is
composed of wild arrack, potatoes, chaff
and leaves, and these terrible conditions
inevitably produce disease. Within a
radius Of one mile there are 120 cases of
typhoid fever. Pestience is decimating
the people. The official estimate OF
the number of those without food or
means of support who require all is
given as 100000 persons and this is
probably below the true number. The
loss to Russia by famine is estimated at
s500,000,000. Up to the present time
there have been but few contributions
from abroad but the government and the
people of Russia are deeply sensible Of the
spontaneous offers made in various parts
of the United States.
