MOTHER MARKING.

For four consecutive years bound
ary rider, having quiet black dog,
has looked after about 800 ewes in one
paddock, and though different lot
of ewes were lambed in that paddock,
there were always more black lambs
among the produce than in all the
other breeding lots on the estate put
together, and they number about A, 900
Gays the London Live Stock Jour-
nal.
This year the boundary rider had
about the same number of ewes in the
paddock, but his black dog is not
there. The result is that there is only
one black lamb in the lot. This has
happened with the same lot of ewes
that last year in that paddock pro-
duced fifteen black lambs. The writer
concludes that black lambs were the
result of the ewes seeing a black dog
among them every day. He also re-
marks that in those paddocks where
foxes are troublesome, there are al
ways more red and yellow colored
lambs than in any other whore ewes
are lambed.

far more and larger shoots will be pro-
duced than if not severely pruned. Ii
forest trees of all deciduous kinds are
treated in the same way, there is little
difficulty in making them live and
thrive, even if their roots are few In
number when dug from their native
habitats. Little or no attention need
to be paid to the position or number
of buds left on the pruned tree, for
these will appear in due time, and Of
then more than are really required to
form good head to the tree. The
new shoots springing from the pruned
branches will be in proper condition
for receiving the cions in the spring
of the second year after transplanting.
Unless such trees as you purpose trans
planting have very large lateral roots,
they should be staked when set out to
prevent being blown over by the wind
during heavy rains and winds in fall
and early spring. New York Sun.

ORNAMENT YOUR FARM.

Ornament your farm, not at great
expense, but with good sense. Do it
with skill and Judgment, with few
| trees here, another there, and bunch
elsewhere. You may never want to
part with your farm; that makes no
difference place beautiful is just as
good for you as anybody else, and n
few artistic touches will often do it at
little labor or expense. The beauty
thus added to ours is not only an eX-
ample but stimulus to others to do
likewise, and presently you may find
homes of beauty all along the road
from town to home and added value
that few could fail to appreciate. The
highways and the travelled roads of
our country could be made as cool,
shady and attractive as the famed
roads of Europe if the owners of the
farms bounded by them could only be
induced to plant shade trees within
their fences. And does the reader
suppose for moment that such trees
need be only ornamental? Not for n
moment. Beauty adds value, it is
true, but timber has a value in addi-
ton to the beauty it affords, and as
well food and protection for birds and
for live stock, fruit and nuts for the
young, and in the years to come, when
our forest timber is gone, be of more
than ordinary value for the practical
purposes of life. Chicago Times.

At our feet it is only white;
And bright is the CLEAN of the distant star
Though a lamp were twice as bright!

Our fellows leave greater dowers.
The waters that flow from the hidden springs

And never are satisfied.
60 we strive through life for these distant

But ever they hold their place;

And we look in his mocking face
And the distant things grow near and close,
And faith they are dingy and gray!

TRANsPLANTING FOREST TREES.

The smaller the tree the more cer-
tain it is to live when transplanted.
But if you want trees of fair size, or
six to ten feet high, with stem one
or two inches in diameter, select such
and then proceed to dig them up, saw
ing as many of the roots as possible
After they are dug, proceed to the
pruning, bearing in mind that all loss
in the way of roots must be fully made
good by reducing the number and
length of the branches; and, to be
sure of it, cut all back at least two
thirds of their original length. If the
branch is six feet long, cut away four
feet. But in this pruning leave the
stumps of branches In such shape
that the head of the tree will be we'll
balanced when the new shoots appear

pear at first to be rather severe treat
ment, but it is The only safe way of
insuring the life of the specimens

FELIPE'S CHANCACA.
BY CHARLES +. LUMMIS.

The great water wheel was trundl-
ing as fust as ever the white impulse
from the old stone aqueduct could
kick it along. The wheel, indeed,
grumbled at so much hard work, but
the water only laughed and danced as
the big iron jaws of the wheel chewed
up the yellow culms of sugar cane and
spat to one side the useless pith, while
the sweet, dark sap crept sluggishly
down the iron conduit toward the su-
gar-house. In front was very noun
tain of cane brought from the fields
by bullock carts, and half q dozen
sinewy negroes were feeding it, an
armful at time, between tho rolls of
the mill Behind it others with wood
en- forks were spreading the crushed
cane to dry for day, after which it
would be used as fuel to boil its own
plundered juice. Off beyond the SUI
gar building cleaned the white Moor
ish walls of the rooted chapel and
manor house, built three hundred
years ago, when Peru was the richest
crown jewel of Spain. Everywhere
else stretched the great fields of cane
to the very foot of the sandhills of
the encroaching desert, to the very
rim of the blue Pacific. What an i'm
mensity of sugar it all meant!
The same thought struck the grizzl-
ed administrator this morning as he
stood on pier of the aqueduct-just
where its stream pounced upon the
lazy wheel swept the scene with
those watchful old eyes. "Of truth, )"
he was saying to himself, ''the world
must be very large, as they say, and
many must eat nothing else, for here
we make every Gay 10000 pounds of
sugar 300 days of the year, and there
are many other sugar haciendas in
Peru, though maybe none SO big as
Villa. Truly, Iknow not where it all
goes. Hola! Always that fellow!"
and, springing to the ground as light
y as boy, in two bounds he was at
the mill.

FEEDING BEES IN THE WINTER.

1t is quite possible to feed bees in
the winter on sugar syrup, and SO take
most of the honey in the fall. Sugar
is much cheaper than honey, pound
for pound, and honey is more than
half water. The purest white sugar is
used, and boiled to thin syrup. This
prevents souring, which would other
wise occur, and would be fatal to the
bees, as it produces dysentery. New

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
The dairy pays better in winter than
in summer.
The greatest waste is having no
system in feeding.
Fodder to keep COW can be grown
at not more than one fifth the cost of
pasture.
A small flock of sheep is one of the
most effective scavengers to be placed
on farm.
Celery and asparagus are crops that
can be grown with profit in tue irri-
cation district.
This is good month to fix up the
outbuildings and get everything in
readiness for the cold of winter.
Keep onions from dampness. Do
not pile them up in deep layers. They
must be stored in dry, cool place.
Some of the worst cases of con-
tinued securing have been cured by
changing from whole to ground oats.
If extra work demands more food
better give a small ration between
meals than feed too heavily at usual
times. - ls
Gather peppers and tomatoes before
frost comes. Pull few plants and
hang them under a shed away from
the frost.
The autumn season is trying one
for young or feeble sheep, which
should be kept out of the long chill
ing rains.
Allhorses sleep standing, but most
of them lie down once in twenty-four
hours and by so doing relax and ease
the muscles.
Hens may safely be given all the
skim and buttermilk they will con-
sumo, but little chickens should only
be given fresh milk.
Remove dust and cobwebs, and thus
make the poultry house much bright
er, more sunny and pleasant. Light
is an enemy to disease.
In the dairy, quality counts for more
than quantity, and there is more profit
in small, well-managed one than in
large Que, run according to slipshod
methods.
Professor Henry of the Wisconsin
University estimates that shrinkage
of from thirty to fifty per cent in the
dairy products of the state was caused
by the recent drouth.
Cucumbers, pumpkins, squashes,
and melons, must be gathered before
they are frost-nipped Melons will
finish ripening if packed in oats. Use
ripe cucumbers for pickles.
BY good management one COW can
be kept the year round on the pro-
duct of an acre of ground, but no
management can make less than four
acres of pasture support one COW.
Hens that are afflicted with humble
foot roost too high and injure their
feet by striking the ground too hard
when they fly down. The remedy
consists in the removal of the cause.
To get rid of tobacco gum after
topping, suckering or working among
the green crop, rub the hands with a
ripe tomato and thoroughly rinse.
The acid in the tomato cuts the gum.
There is much detail connected
with poultry management. Women
as class pay more attention to little
things than do men. Hence, the for
mer often make better successes with
fowls than the latter.
The late fall celery planted in single
rows needs blanching by earthing or
boarding up. Winter celery planted
in the same way must now be handled
to make it grow upright, and fit it for
storing in trench or cellar.
