Raising Better Mutton.

A quite a common complaint against
mutton is that it has a woolly taste, which
is very disagreeabe to some people, and
there is no doubt but this Injuries the sale
of otherwise good carcasses very much.
This woody tas.e is apt to appear in the
meat of any sheep that are not kept in
good, clean, sweet pens The sheep have
naturally strong odor in their wool and
bodies, and unless they are well aired at
all times, the odor will soon permeate the
flesh. Place sheep in a close, poorly
ventilated sheep pen, and keep them there
for few weeks before killing. and the
mutton of every one will be tainted with
this woolly flavor This is another strong
argument against close, sitting pens tor
sheep, which are generally the places for
breeding diseases among the animals.
The flavor also comes largely from the
manner of dressing the carcass. A good
animal can be easily spoiled by poor or
careless dressing. When the sheep is
killed, it should be opened and aired
carefully and the ntestines removed at
once. If the gases of these are allowed
to remain, they will penetrate the meat
and faint it. If the dressing of the car
cass is performed in a close, sitting
slaughter house, and the animal hung up
there for any length Of time. the odor
will soon injure the meat. The carcass
should be opened and aired freely right
away, and all intestines should be remov-l
ed while the meat is still warm. Then al,
odors will be dissipated by the fresh air
and the carcass can be cooled at once.
Lambs that are raised for mutton
should have special attention right through
their career, and all feeding and watering
should be given with the single idea of
perfecting the mutton. The wool is then
of secondary consideration, The cross
between the Southdown and the Merno
probably gives the best lambs for NUT
ton, and they are sure to be plump and
fat, although not so large as some of the
other breeds. The mutton produced is
very tender, and has peculiar sweetness
and uiciness that makes it valuable.
These lambs are to be fed intelligently if
they are to produce the best results. A
little dry food should be given 10 them
when they are two or three weeks old,
such as corn, oats and linseed mixed to-
gether.
Iftht do not take to the mixture well
when fedto them out of the hands, add
little salt and sugar to make it little
more palalabe. Nearly all young lambs
will then eat greedily If the ewes are
given good grain ration also, the lambs
get better nourishment from their moth
ers.-Amc,7can CnHi9afoy.

USE D,NA'S 5ARSAPARILLA, IT'S
THE KIND THAT CURES"
Hens Stealing Their Nests.

When a hen refuses to lay in the nest
prepared for her it is an indication that
something is wrong with the arrange
nents. as she will not steal oft to lay I'M
less the, e is some inducement for so do
ing. The nests in the poultry house may
contain lice, and the hen goes elsewhere
because she finds more comfort and es-
capes persecution from the pests. Dur
ing the warm days of summer the poultry
house may be heated above the tempera-
ture of the outside atmosphere, and the
hens seek nests that are cooler and
more comfortable. Seclusion is sought
by hens, and if the nests are open in frc mt
and exposed TO much light the hens will
avoid them, if possible, and find some
more secluded and quiet location. If
the hens are crowded they will at times
make laying disagreeable duty by two
or three occupying nest at one time.
It is not best for hens to steal their nests,
as the eggs are thereby more exposed to
loss from many causes; hence the nests
n the poultry house should be arranged
With due regard to the comfort of the
lcnS.

Barbcd Wire in England.

A bill has just passed both houses of
the British Parliament in regard to barb
ed wire fence along the line of highways.
By this measure barbed wire, which may
probably be injurious to persons or ami
mails lawfully using thoronghfare, will
have to be removed whenever the local
authority sees fit to make an order to that
effect. 1t will doubtless receive the Roy
al assent almost Immediately, and then
will become law at once. This law has
reference only to barbed wire along the
public highways But an article which
experience has shown to be dangerous
along highway may well be found ob-
jectionable for division fence, and it
would be wise to think at least twice be-
fore adopting this material for fencing
anywhere.

Care of Children's Ears.

In her anxiety that her children's ears
shall be thoroughly clean the mother en-
deavors to remove every particle of ear
wax from the inner portion of the ear by
boring it out with hairpin or other sharp
instrument covered with towel twisted
to point Nature knows how to take
care of those hidden recesses far better
than does the most accomplished mother.
This part of the ear requires no attention.
Nature takes care of it in the most admir-
able manner. Nothing more irritating
than a few drops of olive oil warmed to
temperature little above blood heat
should ever be placed in the ear.

Ode to the Hen.

OF robin and blue bird and lnnet, spring
poets write page after page their praises
are sounded each minute by prophet,
sooth-sayer and sage but not since the
stars sang together, not since the ere
alton of men, has any one drawn a
goose feather in praise of the patient
old hen.
All honor and praise to the singing that
cheers up the Wild wood in spring; the
old recollections oft bringing Joy, child
hood and that sort of thing; but dear
er to me than the twitter of robin or
martin or wren is that motherly cluck
when litter of chickens surround the
old hen.
And her midwinter cackle, how CHEEKY,
above the new nest she has made; it
notifies hearts all aweary another fresh
egg has been laid and when the old
bird wakes heavy, and aged and lazy
and fat well cooked with light dumpl-
ings and gravy, there's great consola-
ton in that.-.Neb,0Ska Star Jony.

some idea or the profits arising from this

obtained from the following letter OF
July llth 10 Mr.. r. Il. Chaffin from Mr.
J. o. Scott. secretary and treasurer OF
the Richmond Cream, Butter and Milk
Company:
Dear Sir,-At your request l have re-
ferred TO the books OF the Richmond
Cream. Butter and Milk Company. and
find that during the years 1890. 1891 and
1892 you have furnished us from your
"Chatsworth" farm 2.6s3.009 pounds OF
milk, for which we have paid you in
cash So. 1856.
This is subscribed and sworn to be-
fore j. c. Easley. notary public In and
for the city OF Richmond.
In addition to this sum arising from the
sale of milk, $1,000 must be added, which
comes from the sale OF calves, making
the gross receipts for the three years
$50 1886. This Is indeed fine showing,
and Mr.. Chaffin thinks that the results
would be much better could he have
resided on the farm and given It his per-
sonal attention. His business here has
prevented this, and all Of his directions
for the management OF the business have
been given by telephone
