SHEEP AND NATURE.

Among the many curious things
learned at the Worlds Fair was the
fact that the American Merino sheep
was destined to be subdivided into
types. This suspicion had previously
existed with those who had closely
observed the tendency to vary from
what was once supposed to be an es-
tablished and necessary standard. In
the past these tendencies were ac-
counted for by careless breeding and
not always complimentary to the line
of blood and veracity of the breeders
Here at the Fair, side by side, were
exhibited the same sheep in blood, but
widely different in size, form and
covering. Nature had asserted her
prerogatives in spite of register as
sociations, and changed the type of
the books to suit the environments.
The fittings were complete; the pas
turage of the various regions repre-
sented were exactly reflected in the
size, vigor and fleece qualities of the
sheep. This was well illustrate l, and
some curious reflections were in the
minds of all students OF sheep and the
influences of their environments. The
only observations heard from critical
experts were, "What difference!"
The lessons carried away to be pom
dered over at times of greater leisure
will be prolific of good later on. The
sheep raisers have been copying other
folks in breeding and attempting to
conform nature to types, instead of
studying natures independence of
theories, standards, and types, and
turning this to their own advantage
1t is along these lines that the Ameri-
can sheep breeder must study his own
best and possible interests. s.-American

ROLLING MEADOW LAND.

Rolling the meadow, and some
times the pasture land, as soon as the
frost leaves the ground in the spring,
is often done by practical farmers.
The action of frost often throws many
stones to the surface, and when the
ground becomes settled these impedi-
ments ere thus left in a. position to
cause serious injury to the cutting ap-
paratus of the moving machine. Up
on land liable to heave by action of
frost the surface soil is left uneven,
many tufts of timothy are nearly
thrown out of the soil, and these the
roller presses down smooth, not only
insuring a better and more healthy
growth, but leveling the field for the
more economical gathering of the
crop. Fall sown wheat and rye fields
are often benefited by rolling, which
should be done the same day that the
field is seeded to clover, or soon after,
as the action of the roller, in crush
ing Jumps and mellowing the surface,
makes good seed bed and covers a
large proportion of the clover Seed

PuSSy's Ride i'm a Paddle Box.

Steamer City of Newport on her
trip to this city from Newport op
Monday had passenger which es.
capped the notice of the purser and
evaded the payment of fare. On the
arrival of the steamer here peculiar
noise was heard in the paddle box,
and investigation revealed the pres
ence of q very disconsolate and much
bedraggled cat, whose appearance gave
conclusive evidence hat it had made
the entire trip of thirty miles from
the summer capital in that rather un-
pleasant portion of the craft.
1t was SO wet and discouraged look
ing that its own mother probably
would not have recognized it, but af-
ter it had been taken out by remov-
ing some of the planks and had been
dried it was found to be the pet feline
of Agent Simmons, of the Newport
end of the line. 1t didn't look very
happy when it was discovered, but
was soon restored to its equanimity
and rested contentedly on the boat
and made the return passage down
the bay in more comfortable quarters.
The cat probably crawled into the
paddle box Sunday while the steamer
was tied to the wharf at Newport, en-
tering through the open space on the
outside, and was either unable to find
it's way out or was caught mapping
when the boat started. --Providenc

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
HOMEMADE RUG.

Except as it may prove suggestive
to the managers of old ladies' homes,
this rug story will not prove ofspecial
use to many of our city readers. But
there are by many a country fireside
and by not few in the city old ladies
and "shut-ins" who welcome gladly
any use to which they can put the time
which hangs SO heavily on their hands
and any means by which they can add
ever so little to the family exchequer.
The other day in calling upon q
neighbor who had recently come to
my vicinity from an old Massachu-
setts town, saw q rug of marvellous
texture. No oriental rug ever equalled
it in the thickness of its pile, and but
for the extra and somewhat irregular
length of the nap and its rather too
brilliant coloring it might have been
the thickest Kazac.
remarked upon its unusual heavi-
ness when my hostess said: "That rug
was made by my mother after she was
ninety years old" This led me to ex-
anime it more carefully and to inquire
as to the manner of making it.
Remnants of ingram carpets were
purchased at carpet houses, of village
upholsterers and carpet layers and
wherever they could be most cheaply
procured. These were raveled, laid in
punches and cut in lengths of little
over an inch. Brown carpet warp
was also purchased by the pound.
With a pair of coarse steel knitting
needles enough stitches were cast on to
make square of four inches when
finished. After knitting couple of
rows plain, you knit once across, bind
ing in with each stitch little bunch
of the ingram ravelings which had
been cut into short lengths. Then
knit back, and across and back plain,
when you knit another row, introduce
ing the little punches of ravelings.
When you have formed square bind
off, and when you have sufficient
number of these squares sew them to-
gether with warp very closely and
firmly.
This would be pleasant and not too
laborious work for q semi-invalid, al
though of course the work of sewing,
after the rug became very large, would
be heavy, but for such result one
could we'll afford to hire the sewing
done. The rug which it was my good
fortune to examine was about 11x13
and had been in constant and hard
service for five years without produc-
ing the slightest sign of wear. Every
few months it is hung over a stout
clothes line and we'll beaten, which
raises the heavy pile and gives it
new look. BY knitting the blocks
small and choosing the colors with
view to artistic effect a rug could be
produced that need not blush before
the product of any Eastern loom.
The best parts of worn ingram car
pets might be used where there was
necessity for strict economy.

Professional Moth Hunter.

f. DIR. Aldricks, of ofKentucky, who is an
enthusiastic entomologist, was at the
Lafayette yesterday. When asked for
some information on the subject he has
made speciality, he said: ''To study
the habits of the moth family you must
live and grow up with them. The fin
est varieties fly by night, and it is
with some difficulty that they arc
captured. The usual way is to go out
with hand net and a pot of stale beer,
sweetened with quantity of molasses
or sugar. A dash of this mixture on
the bark of the tree, whose leaves the
moths feed upon, is the bait which
lures them to death.
GAS soon as they light the net is
sprung over them, and later on they
are asphyxiated by being dropped in
an etherized jar, after which they are
carefully mounted and labeled. 1
have house built especially for their
propagation and filed with leaves of
their favorite tree. With the cater
pillars crawling to the right and left
of me l spend many night watching
their habits from rude cot in one
corner of the building. 1t is quite q
profitable business, besides being un-
usually instructive. Some of the
largest varieties are the size of hum
ming bird, and the rarest kinds, when
properly mounted, easily bring $25.

When two inches high transplant into
cold frames three or four inches apart.
Be sure to shade and water the plants
until well rooted. Transplant again
when four inches high eight inches

plants, with strong roots. OF course,
protect the cold frames from frosts or
storms by covering " n necessary,

pared by hand. Naturally moist soil
is no objection if it can be made dry
enough to put the seed in early, and
when it cannot, the seeds are some
times sown in the fall, when the soil
is in good condition, as the plants are
perfectly hardy. Get good seed, and
do not SOW too thickly. The great
drawback with beginners in growing
root crops is their fear ofthinning out
enough. 1t is one of the hardest
things for them to learn. When a man
has made up his mind that he will do
this, it is better to SOW by machinery
and thin out than to attempt to get
the proper amount of seed in the
right place by hand. On rich soil the
rows should be thirty inches apart,
and the plants not less than three
inches apart in the row, and at these
distances we have had the tops form
dense mass all over the ground. There
are two strong points in favor of pars-
nips. They can be left in the ground
all winter without injury, and if dug
and put in the cellar, where they
wither, they do not lose their taste as
turnips and beets do. They seem to
retain all the sugar when the water
evaporates. People who have only
grown few in crowded bed in the
garden have little idea how large
parsnip will grow or how large crop
can be grown per acre. Three inches
in diameter at the top and a foot long
should be the average size, with good
cultivation. They are good for any
animal that will eat them, and can be
made to take the place of potatoes to
great extent on the family table. -
