Somewhat Expensive.

The work of laying that piece of the
sewer extending from the corner of Wa
ter and Court streets up Russell street
to the corner of the Skowhegan House
is at last completed, after a wearisome
task of nearly ten weeks, during which
time an average of twenty men were
employed. The distance is 81 feet and
average depth IL u feet, nearly all of
which extended through solid ledge.
Total cost of material, contract work
etc, was S2,S35.32.
The work on this side of the river to
be laid this year was completed last
week, and about two weeks more will
finish up on the south side what work is
laid out.

THE WOOL MUST BE FED.

Dropping the wool Is frequent
trouble with sheep There are many
different explanations for this annoy
Gnce to the flock master but few of
these hint at all at the fact that wool
must be fed, or it cannot grow, and
any failure in its nutrition must result
in suoh weakness that the fleece fails
to keep mp its connection with the
skin, and thus drops Off as if it were
seyered-as it really is-at its root.
The fleece of a hundred-pound sheen
makes M ten per cent, or more, OF
the animals weight, and it consists OF
a fur greater proportion of the most
exacting elements of nutrition than
the flesh of the sheep does Flesh has
soyenty-fiye per cent, of water in il
wool has only fifteen per cent. The
flesh has IN its dry matter the follow
ing clements, and wool has the quan-
titles set opposite to them. Thus the
composition of flesh IS Carbon, 81. SO
per cent. hydrogen, 7.57; nitrogen,
l5'Oli oxygen, 2l,37; ashes, 4.23.

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 Pekin 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.
It 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.
W bbSh lAC0sl anu
any insects appear spray with Paris
green or other insecticides.
When pruning protect all large
wounds with coat of melted grating
wax or 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 it at 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. 1t should be mixed
with other manure and spread broad
cast through the garden.
Hens that are set during the sum
mer should have their nests made in a
cool, quiet place. II there is anything
eatable to be found, the black Spanish
and the Leghorns will find it.

Wool: Carbon, 49.65 per cent. hy-
drogen, 6. .93 nitrogen, 1871 oxygen,
%. Il; ashes, 2. sulphur 90.
Taking into account that tho wool
has only one-ffth as much water in it
rs the flesh, it is easily seen that it re-
auires five times as much of the ele-
ments of nutrition for each pound
weight rs the flesh, and thus, if the
fleece of merino weighs fifteen
pounds and the carcass, after sheGring,
weighs seventy-five 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
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 ne
well as the actual body of the animal.
1t is worthy of note, too, that Us wool
contains considerable sulphur, this is
also to be provided in the food.
Every time the sheep is underfed, or
suffers from any other cause, it appears
in the wool, the fibre of which shows
thin place in it, and each of these
weak spots represents n fault in feed
ing or other part of the management,
This weakness in the fbro is ruinous to
the wool, as it causes it to break in the
carding 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
rs "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 tc
the wool is only one Of the visible
signs of injury to the whole animal.
In estimating the amount of food
necessary for a 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
overfeeding. American Agriculturist.

Some deny that tho Gulf Stream ac-
tually extends from the New World to
the Old; but their contention seems
merely n matter of nomenclature, and
it is, perhaps, preferable to abide by
the time-trled theory until more def
mite information comes to tho front.
As the Gulf Stream nears Europe it
widens and becomes fan-shaped The
upper edge tends toward Norway, tho
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 tho
equatorial drift due to the northeast

circuit of tho North Atlantic in di-
rection similar to the hands of n watch.

Getting Married in England.

Getting married in England, to peo-
pie who are not able to buy license,
is a very embarrassing matter. A IL
cense is expensive, while a marriage
by banns costs only few shillings, so
most prefer the banns. You have TO
be cried three times on three separate
Sundays, and il a fellow happens to
make a mistake and go to church on
the Sunday when his banns are cried
he finds the proclamation of his matri-
monial intentions to be very embnr-
RAISING, for, of course, he is unmerci-
fully grinned at by the rest of the
audience. Couples having their banns
cried usually stay away from the morn
ing service or prevAil on the clergy
man to proclaim the banns at an after
noon or evening service, when few are
present. Very often, however, the
parson refuses to do this, arguing that
as the banns ERE designed to give pub
licity 10 the occasion the most public
time of proclamation should be chosen,
80 the afflicted man and his unfor-
tunate companion that is TO be are
forced TO bear the gibes of their ae-
quaintances for at least three weeks. -

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 q 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 at 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
i'll their place, the father and sons
reaping a 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 q feasible oportunlty 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
NOR, work them judiciously 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 a
single one brought back to the farm to
use through the winter and sell in the
spring. Many horses that are some
what stiffened and lamed from i'm
proper using and excessive pounding
on the pavements can be completely
cured by driving without shoes for a
season. By watching the feet for a
week or two after removing the she es
that the edges are kept filed smooth,
almost any horse can be driven most of
the year on country roads without that
appcndsge commonly termed a shoe.

LITTLE SAVINGS IN THE KITCHEN.

HANANNo IN INN hAANFAhNs
Ifcrackers are stale or moist, sprinkle
slightly with salt, and heat in mod

Dry the leaves and left over stalks of
celery, and keep them in solf-sealing
glass fruit jar, to flavor soups with.
Don't pay five cents more for flour
in n cloth sack, when You can buy more
and better cloth for the same amount
of money.
Don't throw away q lamp wick rs
soon as it is short, but wash it, baste
a strip of white muslin to the lower
end and use it week or two longer.
II hard soap is taken from its wrap
pings and stood edgewise on n shelf in
a 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 backing,
which has been wet with vinegar, makes
first rate stove polish, and the stub
of an old broom does better and quicker
work than ON 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.
