Wool: Carbon, 1915 per cent. ; hy-
drogen, 6.93; nitrogen, IT, 81 oxygen,
%. II; ashes, 20; sulphur 90.
Taking into account that the wool
has only one-fifth as much water in it
as the flesh, it is easily seen that it re-
quires five times as much of the ele-
ments of nutrition for each pound
weight as the flesh, and thus, if the
fleece of merino weighs fifteen
pounds and the carcass, after shearing,
weighs seventy-fve pounds, equal
quantities of food are required for the
production of each. This is, perhaps,
never thought of by any feeder of the
flock, for, so far, it seems to have been
completely ignored by all writer's
upon sheep husbandry; and yet the
Importance of it is paramount. The
common ignorance of these urgent de-
mands of the fleece for special nutri-
ments is, doubtless, the cause why the
sheep suffers SO much from the exhaus-
tive requirements of the WOOL AS the
fleece must be supplied after the ami
NAL itself, the wool suffers while the
sheep escapes, at least to some extent !;
and as the wool cannot exist without
its necessary accompaniment of the
yolk and grease, which natural
ly protect it from injury by the rains,
heat, or cold, this is to be considered
as calling for requisite nutriment as
well as the actual body of the animal.
1t is worthy of note, too, that as wool
contains considerable sulphur, this is
a1eD 10 ha ,,routJaI tho faoI
Every time the sheep is underfed, or
suffers from any other cause, it appears
in the wool, the fibre of which shows
thin place i'll it, and each of these
weak spots represents fault in feed
ing or other part of the management
This weakness in the fibre is ruinous to
the wool, as it causes it to break in the
earding or combing, and thus become
too short for the spinner, and fit only
for felting. This defect is known by
the woolen manufacturers and buyers
as "break," and makes it unstable.
Consequently, the matter of feeding
and the regularity of it, are special
points to be regarded by the shepherd.
Yet it must not be supposed that the
wool only suffers; the sheep must
necessarily suffer, for the damage to
the wool is only one Of the visible
signs of injury to the whole animal.
In estimating the amount of food
necessary for sheep, all these points
are to be taken into account, and the
gross weight of the animal is to be in
creased, for estimating the allowance
of food by the proportion to be added,
on account of the extra dry substance
of the fleece. To be ON the safe side
it will be reasonable to add to the live
weight of the sheep fully 100 per cent.
that is, to double the weight, and esti-
mate the ration accordingly. The
normal allowance of three per cent. of
dry matter 100 pounds of carcass may
thus be doubled, without any fear of
overlooking. American Agriculturist

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Avoid the pruning of large limbs.
The water vessels should be cleaned
out daily.
Poultry requires good food if eggs
are desired.
Be careful to provide dry quarters
in wet weather.
Many young trees are killed every
year by overbearing.
Ducks will suffer from rheumatism
if they have damp quarters.
At eleven weeks old Pekiu duck
should weigh at least five pounds.
Sunshine should be admitted into
the poultry house whenever possible.
Turkeys consume more food than
chickens, but they also bring better
prices.
1t is to the interest of the poultry
keeper to supply food which Will pro-
mote laying.
Soft shelled eggs, double yolk eggs
and other irregularities indicate that
the hens are too fat.
Watch the frult trees, and when
any insects appear spray with Paris
green or other insecticides.
When pruning protect all large
wounds with coat of melted grating
wax or n coat of coarse paint.
A young queen will begin to deposit
eggs ten days from birth, and is cred
tied with laying 5000 eggs daily.
1t is generally conceded that July is
the best time to prune trees, although
many prefer doing il ut other times.
Sort all fruit before offering for
sale. More can be obtained for fruit
Of uniform size than for that which is
not graded.
Poultry manure is one OF the most
profitable crops, Ii should be mixed
with other manure aud spread broad
east through tho garden.
Hens that are set during the sum
mer should have their nests made in a
cool. quiet place II there is anything
eatahle to be found, the black Spanish

south as the orange groves of florida.
Some deny that the Gulf Stream ac-
tually extends from the New World to
the Old; but their contention seems
merely matter of nomenclature, and
it is, perhaps, preferable to abide by
the time-trIed theory until more def
mite information comes to the front.
As the Gulf Stream nears Europe it
widens and becomes fan-shaped. The
upper edge tends toward Norway, the
central portion moves toward the Brit
ish Channel and the Bay of Biscay,
while the southern edge flows partly
along the coasts of Portugal and Africa
even to the equator, partly to the
southwestward, past the Canary ISL
ands and the Cape Verdes, reaching in
the course of time that portion of the
equatorial drift due to the northeast
trade winds, and thus completing the
circuit of the North Atlantic in di-
rection similar to the hands of a watch.

LITTLE SAVINGS IN THE KITCHEN.


Ifcrackers are stale or moist, sprinkle
slightly with salt, and heat in n mod
crate oven.
Dry the leaves and left over stalks of
celery, and keep them in self-sealing
glass fruit jar, to flavor soups with.
Don't pay five cents more for flour
in cloth sack, when you can buy more
and better cloth for the same amount
of money.
Don't throw away lamp wick as
soon as it is short, but wash it, basic
a strip of white muslin to the lower
end and use it week or two longer.
If hard soap is taken from its wrap
pings and stood edgewise on shelf in
warm room, or put in bag and hung
behind the kitchen range for few
weeks, it will last decidedly longer
than otherwise.
Every ounce of suet, fat, cold meat
and bones should be saved and utilized
for making croquettes. hash soup,
drippings, or soap grease. Break the
bones before stewing them for soup,
so that the marrow may escape.
A teaspoonful of molasses or soft
soap, added to saucer of blacking,
which has been wet with vinegar, makes
first rate stove polish, and the stub
of an old broom does better and quicker
work than an ordinary blacking brush.
The syrup left from sweet pickles or
canned fruit, should be kept and added
to mince meat. The syrup from pickles
needs no further preparation, but that
from fruit should be scalded, and put
in glass fruit jar. Several kinds can
be mixed together.

FRESH AIR FOR HORSES.

A bright scheme is being executed
by New York horseman, who has "a
son or two carrying on business in the
country. He buys horses at low
figure that are young and promising,
but are in poor condition, and suffer
ing from heat and harsh treatment on
the paved streets. He sends them by
boat Mt small expense to his sons, who
use them from month to two or three
months on earth roads, give them
abundant green food, and not great
deal of grain, and treat them to every
liberty and comfort which the country
affords and their suffering natures de-
mand. At the same time the horses
are not left idle The young men are
workers, and find it necessary to work
the horses, but this does not seem to
interfere in any way with their com
plete restoration. When the horses
have improved sufficiently they are re-
turned to the city, and others taken
in their place, the father and sons
reaping handsome profit between the
purchase and the selling price, as such
horses rested, refreshed and in good
flesh are sometimes sold for double
what was paid for them.
Here is feasible oportunity for
farmers who desire cheap work horses
and do not wish To winter them. Men
who know what horses are can buy to
advantage animals such as have been
described, from early spring to sum
mcr, woik them iudiciously until they
are in II salable condition, and let them
go for more than enough to compen
safe for any annoyance they may have
made, and for their board, having their
labor gratis. Two or three horses can
be returned and sold, and perhaps II
single one brought back to the farm ia
use through the winter and sell in the
spring. Many horses that are some
what stitfened and lamed from im-
proper using and excessive pounding
on the pavements can be completely
cured hy driving without shoes for IA
season. BY watching the feet for a
w.,k or two after removing the shc es
that the edges are kept filed smooth,
almost any horse can he driven most Of
the year on country roads without that
uppendnge commonly termed shoe.

HANDLING OF COLTS.

There are many ways of handling
colts at weaving time. Some of these
methods are good and some are bad,
but the one that is most common, and
at the same time the worst of all, is to
remove it to some back pasture, where
it can run with other stock and be out
of sight of its dam. There it is de-
pr1ved of its prepared food, expected
to thrive on grass, fight flies in the
sun and get water with the other stock
at the spring or trough. The result is
that the colt goes into winter quarters
thin in flesh, stunted in growth, with
drooped ears and a rough coat of hair.
1t holds its own through the winter if
extra feed and care be given it, but
good, thrifty growth is out of the ques-
ton. New York World.

Don't Blame the Cook

If a baking powder is not uniform in strength,
SO that the same quantity will always do the same
work, no one can know how to it, and uni
formly good light food cannot be produced with it.
All baking powders except Royal, because
improperly compounded and made from inferior
materials lose their strength quickly when the can
is opened for use. At subsequent bakings there
will be noticed falling off in strength. The food
is heavy, and the flour, eggs and butter wasted.
1t is always the case that the consumer suffers
in pocket, if not in health, by accepting any sub
stitute for the Royal Baking Powder The Royal
is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is
possible to attain in absolutely pure powder
1t is always strictly reliable. 1t is not only more
economical because of its greater strength, but
will retain its full leavening power which no
other powder WILL until used, and make more
wholesome food.

HOUSEHOLD WASHING.

A few hints in regard to the wash
ing of household articles may not be
unacceptable. Of course. the first
thing to be considered is the quality
of the water this should be always
tanned If that is not possible, then
other means must be taken. Some
times soft water can be obtained, but
is muddy and therefore not suitable.
1t can be cleansed by putting into II
barrelful tablespoonful of powdered
alum Let it stand n few hours and it
will be clear enough for use. A very
simple way to make hard water soft is
to put to every nine quarts of hard
water one ounce of quick lime, and let
il stand until it becomes clear. Then
pour it off into barrel, leaving the
dregs behind. Most housekeepers,
however, have way of their own.
There are various ways of doing
washing in an easy manner. One that
has been lately recommended is by
the use of what is called water-glass.
do not know personally anything
about it, but it is very highly recon-
mended. In using this the clothes
should be soaked over night in II solu-
tion of one part of water glass to
twenty five parts of moderately hot
water. In the morning add more hot
water, and stir the clothes thoroughly
with stick then drain off the liquid
The clothes Will be found to be
cleansed, but if it should chance that
n few spots are visible, put little
soap on them and rub lightly until
they disappear.
White tannels should be washed on
a clear day in summer, or in warm
room in winter, but they should never
be dried where there is any great heat,
either natural or artificial. Make a
hot suds with white soap and soft wa.
tec. Dissolve in each quart of suds
level teaspoonful of powdered borax,
and for the second washing use sues
alone. While i'll the hot borax waite,
push the tiaunels about, pressing and
squeezing them thoroughly until the
general soiling has been removed;
then rub all the spots with the hands.
Squeeze the water out and do not
wiring the garments. Put them into
the second tub of suds, stirring and
shaking them i'll the same way until
cold enough to permit the squeezing
OF them out of hot water, Lay each
piece i'll soft cotton cloths and wrap it
up to absorb the water; then hang it
up to dry. White blankets should be
washed in this way; then hang them
up in some shady place to dry as
quickly as possible, pinning one edge
to the line and carefully straighten.

The Earth's Rotation and the Ocean.

In the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian
Oceans, in the torrid zones, contin-
uous movement of surface water takes
place from cast to west as result of

GETTING TREES FROM THE WOODS.

GETTING TREES FROM THE WOODS.
Laws against obtaining money under
false pretences might well be enforced
at this season of the year against those
who dig in the woods small or large
trees and sell them to unwary village
or city residents for transplanting to
decorate the streets. The trees may
be true to name, but even the most un-
skilled forester ought to know by look
ing at them that there is very small
chance of any of them making useful
growth. A long pole, the size and
length suitable for a hop pole, having
at its lower end few pieces of roots
the size of ones thumb or finger, gives
little promise OF making fine tree
1t may be done by carefully leaving
three or four buds, not sprigs, at the
top where the future branches are to
be. Usually, however, the top is either
left only slightly trimmed, or else
every bud is cut clean out, and the
tree takes it's chances of nature push
ing some buds out of the wood Just be-
low the cuts. This is nn exhaustive
process, and the buds do not make
much growth the first season. At the
best, forest tree thus managed is far
inferior to the nursery trees that have
had the advantages of frequent cult
vation, have symmetrical tops and
plenty of small roots near the trunk,
making transplanting so rs to insure
rapid growth comparatively easy
matter. Boston Cultivator

CooL cHURNING IN THE MORNING.

On hot days, it is good plan to
have the churning ready the first thing
in the morning. Set one of the men
or boys at it before breakfast, and see
how much better it is to get it out of
the way before the sun gets very high.
Always throw handful, or more, of
salt into the churn when the cream be-
gins to granulate. 1t assists in the
separation of the butter, and the but
termilk will draw off much more free
ly. Keep the temperature at sixty
degrees, using ice in small Jumps to
accomplish the desired result. Neg
lect to do this, will surely spoil the
