Far-Reaching Influence.

Kindness and sympathy are rarely
wasted on the unfortunate, as the fol-
lowing touching story shows. wealthy
young lady, anxious to be Of some use
in the word, made a practice of taking
flowers to women in prison. One day
she encountered particularly aban-
doned character, and replied to her tor
rent Of profane abuse by handing her a
white rose. AS she turned away she
heard one heart breaking cry, and the
voice that had breathed imprecation
moaned over and over again the one
word, Mother! mother! mother The
next week she came again. The laller
met her, saying, THAT woman whom
YOU saw last week is asking for you con-
stantly; I never saw a woman SO
changed" Soon the two were alone in
the cell, and the peniJent, her head
resting on the shoulder of her new
found friend, told with sobs her sad
story. THAT white rose was just like
one which grew by our door at home In
Scotland, my mothers favorite flower.
She was good woman. My father
character was stainless, but | broke
their hearts by my wicked ways, then
drifted to America, where have lived
wicked life. Is it too late to mend!
And that is how a better day daWned
for one erring soul.

Changes in Sheep Husbandry.


It is we'll to contrast the present
status of our sheep industry with
what it was few years ago, and then
to consider the causes that led to the
changes which have so readily and
timely given a relief to the depressed
situation. If the signs of the times
are properly read, the next few years
will witness the most important
changes in the financial and social
side of the agricultural question in
this country. If the small farmers
with few sheep can obtain Salts
factory results, as they do now, IN
competition with the large farmers
they will hold on to their land, if
perhaps few acres, and stop the
absorption of small holdings by the
larger landowners. This competing
Of small farms OF the East with the
virgin soils, of the West in general
farming, in the production of corn
and wheat, is impossible. This un-
equal contest has resulted disas-
trously, but with the central, con-
trolling markets at the very door of
the Eastern farmer he can compete
in special products like mutton.

Fertilizers for Orchards,

A bulletin issued by the Agricul-
tural College of Michigan treats the
subject of fertilizers for orchards as
follows: 'sAs a fertilizer we have
made use of unleached wood ashes.
On most soils no other fertilizer need
be used for a number of years, but
on light or exhausted soils the ap-
plication Of perhaps twenty loads of
decomposed stable manure, or, if this
cannot be obtained, of fifty pounds
nitrate of soda and 200 pounds Of
tine ground bone per acre which, with
100 bushels of ashes, will make a
complete fertilizer. In case the fresh
asnes cannot be obtained, two or three
times the quantity mentioned of
leached ashes would nave a marked
effect. Wood ashes would have a
tendency to solidify and compact the
soil, hence they are excellent on light
land, but care should be taken not to
use them to excess on heavy soils.

ANY one who has broken up clover
ley for summer fallow in early June
knows that ON hard Or stony soil the
land quickly becomes unplowable ex-
cept by putting a new point on the
pillow every dav, and often every half
day. The great amount of moisture
which exhales from an acre of grow
ing clover is the reason for this. Cut
the clover, and at least ton of water
would eXhale from it in twenty-four
hours. But the whiting which fol-
lows cutting is really preventive of
evaporation, as it closes the pores
through which moisture escapes from
the living plant.

physician who put all the remains OF

and the assafntida-and when he found
a patient with a complication of di-
seases," he would shake up his old bot

Of Interest to Dairymen.

There are three special lines OF
dairying, and from these it will gen.
orally pay the dairyman to choose
some one and follow it steadily,
rather than to combine the different
branches, says Hoard's Dairyman.
The three divisions are: The retail
trade or shipment of milk, the manu-
facture of butter and the manufac-
ture of cheese. The cow that is the
best for one of these is not the best
for the other two. and, consequently,
the stock should be selected in the
first place with particular reference
to the branch of business that is to
be followed The man who has a
specially good butter herd cannot al
ford to furnish milk to a cheese fac
tory, nor to ship his product to city
to be sold with low grade milk from
all sources. Find out what you want
to do before you begin to build your
herd, and then follow that purpose
steadily, and you will be apt to come
out all right.

Elo,rerine Bulbs for the Window.

Freesias. Hayacinths, Tulips. Ber-
muda Lilies and Callas are the favor
tie bulbs for window culture, and
they will amply repay in beautiful and
fragrant bloom all the trouble and
expense they make. Some of the
other bulbs, not SO we'll known as
those named, are fully as desirable
and, in some situations do better.
The Albums are Of this class They
will grow and blossom under most
unfayorable conditions, simply re-
curing a moderate amount of heat,
air, water, and light. Calochortus or
Butterfly tulips are not so we'll known
for window culture as some other
bulbs, but they are grand flowers for
the window, retaining their beauty
for a long period. The varieties of

Dairy Notes.

JOHN GOULD says an acre of good
sllage to feed to good cows is worth
$50.
The fastest way to make money in
the dairy, is to keep always wedding
out the poor cows.
THREE beef animals can be grown
and disposed of while one butter ami
NAL is being fully developed.
WHITE specks in butter may be
caused by allowing the cream to stand
exposed to the air without SURFING it.

cess to good shade; il there is none in

Sheep ScaD Cured.

oo~" ~NNAS~--
Kerosene emulsion has been found
by the South Dakota Experiment
Station to be an effective remedy for
sheep scab. The scab is caused by a
small mite. This insect is very hard
to kill as IS shown by the fact that
two specimens put in a solution %
per cent. alcohol showed signs of life
for nine and fourteen minutes re-
spectively The emulsion was made
by dissolving ten pounds of hard soap
in twenty gallons Of soft water heated
to the boiling point, after which five
gallons of kerosene were added. The
mixture was then pumped brlskly
through a spraying pump into the
vessel. The violent agitation caused
the materials to emulsify in about
five minutes After standing few
all, rose to the top Of the emulsion
and was taken off. The emulsion
was diluted by the addition of forty
five gallons OF water, making about 7
per cent. of kerosene in the solution.
Care was taken not to dip the sheep
while free oil was floating on the sur
face. Seven sheep was dipped. The
animals were in all stages Of affection
by the scab, some almost naked from
it's effects and barely able to walk.
Although the sheep dried off slowly
mot the slightest damage was done
the wool, in fact the emulsion seemed
to have cleansing properties On ex-
animation twenty-four hours after
dipping, the sheep showed no live
mites Two days after the first dip
ping one of the worst infested AMI
mails was examined closely with a
pocket microscope and only one live
mite was found The cost of the dip
is not large.
