While in this city the count became

in those institutions. In a letter to
Gov. G. II. Sheldon he says: "NcXt

achievements have filled me with
admiration. The beautiful State
Agricultural college, with all its re-
sources, and the fine and prosperous
schools would do credit TO any country.
And the results Of your educational

Thursday and Friday, was a pleasing
success in many respects and had
times been more flush there is no
doubt but there would have been an
immense crowd present. The display
of stock was superior to that Of pre-
vlons years. The floral hall contained
many interesting specimens of handl-
work art, mechanical, needleWOrk, etc.
The Agricultural college and graded

like effects to gardens. The term ex-
plains the art precisely. 1t signifies tie
enlargement of mere gardening int
complete harmony and sympathy with
nature, whereby a handicraft becomes
n fine art. Before the Introduction Of
the landscape-lIke garden, gardens were
formal or geometrical in their dominant
features, and were for the most part
but the extension of the ideas Of build
ing. In other words, they were ar
chitectural; and the revolution to moro
artistic treatment is recorded in the
very term landscape gardening. In re-
cent times there has been conspicuous
reaction from the extreme naturalistic
treatment of garden areas toward some
of the formalisms of earlier methods,
but the controlling sentiment is stu
free and artistic in expression, and no
designer Of the present day would con-
sent to be bound by the hard and fast
rules of former times. The terms land
scape-architecture and landscape-archi-
tect are, therefore, anachronisms. But
the worst feature Of these words IL the
impression they unavoidably impart,
that landscape-gardening is q mere
formal art and Is successful in propor-
tion as 1t follows certain conventional
isrns The chief reason why this term
is becoming popular seems to be a de-
sire for more pretentious and high
sounding name, which shall place the
garden designer upon an equal footing
with his cOmpeer, the architect.-Amer-

Lambs in the Corn Field.

1t Is sometimes the practice Of farm
fields nbout this time of the year or
little earlier, perhaps, to do the double
work of cleaning and cleaning the
fields. If there is no meadow to turn
the lambs in at weaning time, 1t would
be well to turn them in the growing
corn. Lambs at this age have not yet
learned to do much damage to the
growing corn If it stands up WELL They
are too small to reach the silk, and
have not the knowledge of an adult

Lambs will eat the various weeds and
foxtail which has escaped the cultiva-
tor and be Of great value TO the corn in
this respect. II turned in they will eat
the blades as high up as they can reach,
which Will injure the corn very little.
We are not always situated so that
the lambs can be turned In the corn
fields, since many of the fields are not
fenced sheep or lamb tight. Sheep are
10th to go to new pasture, and will
try the fences the first few days, and
it is really good fence that they can
not succeed in getting through. Older
sheep sometimes do more damage than
Is liked in the fields of corn, and for
that reason are not SO generally per-
mitted in them. Some Of the smaller
breeds of sheep, however, can do no
more damage to the growing corn than
flock of lambs. If you have never
tried 1t, and are situated SO you can,
turn some of them in this season and
see how you like it.-Homestead.

Our pianos are loaded with con-

To have the honor of the acquaint-

What She FIoped.

Not long ago the orthodox clergy
man of New England town was called
from his study in the evening to
marry young couple who were wait
ing in his parlor, bent upon matri-
mony. The young people appeared
to be from an humble walk in life,
but were beaming with happiness.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
there was pause Of some length.
The bride looked inquiringly at the
groom, and he gazed back at her
with a happy but somewhat vague
expression of countenance. At last
the bride stepped forwa I'd in a hesi-
tating manner, and, dropping an
elaborate courtesy, said:
"We-we aro-very much obliged
to you. sir, and we hope that at some
time we shall be able to retaliate!"
Her husband looked at her with
undisguised pride in her ability, to
cope with O word of such length and
elegance, and the minister bowed tho
couple out with as grave face as he
could call up, with that remarkable
wish ringing in his ears.-Youth's

Facts of Interest.

A board floor in poultry house is
much easier kept clean by covering
with dry sand.
Keep tho poultry house well cleaned,
for there is where disease and vermin
will breed If neglected.
Give medicine to sick fowls in drink
ing water. They will often refuse to
eat, but will nearly always drink.
Fowles shut up and fed corn and wa
ter alone for a few days before being
killed are very much better favored
than II killed off the range.
Store away the sorghum seed, some
millet and sunfower seed, good
bunch of clover hay, rs corn, oats and
wheat to feed poultry during winter.
Put the harvesting machinery under
shelter. 1t is n needless waste to allow
1t to stand out in the weather when
lumber is SO cheap.
1t is not good practice to sal clover
has as too much fertility leaves the
farm with it. You will have to buy 1t
back in later years If the practice is
continued.
Keep farm harness in good repair.
1t is well to have n supply of rivets
and buckles of assorted sizes and some
leather on hand to use in case Of an
emergency.
Increasing the production Of a farm
without adding to the acreage is in the
line of progress Gradually farmers
are learning to increase the yield by
adopting more rational methods.
A dog tread power is an entire sue
cess in turning a dairy churn. A 90
pound dog can churn twenty pounds at
churning.
Agriculture can be made more near
Iy an exact science by the application
of irrigation to the soil than by any
other means whatever. 1t prevents
drouth and makes crops certain, and
thus fixes the earning power and value
of the land. We shall see 1t much more
extensively applied In the future than
1t has been In the past.
Thorough tillage will partially take
| the place of manure, by making more
valuable whatever plant food may be
in the soil. But the natural inference
is that this exhausts the soil still more
rapidly, so that If continuous cropping
Is to be practiced, the manure must
| not be withheld, however good the til.
lage-will make big crops right along.
The business of manufacturing starch
from potatoes has been confined to
comparatively few localities. Where It
| has been carried on it has proven a
profitable industry, and has increased
| the value of farm lands devoted to
growing the crop. The combination of
| agricultural production and manufac-
| turing is usually satisfactory to all con.
| cerned.
Everything that tends to diversity our
| agriculture is of benefit to nll who are

starting a timber plantation, it relieves
the wheat market just SO much. Let
lis encourage every new and practical
departure from the standard branches
whether we wish to engage in them
personally or not.

and permanently curing constipation:
It has given satisfaction to millions and
