Some time back promised to give
you a line regarding the results of breed
ing from the Vermont rams, which |
purchased from Mr. C.. Il. Withertll Of
Cornwall, W., L. 5. A. am glad to
say tllat the yearing lambs from both
rams have turned out beyond my eXpec-
tations as regards size and quality. They
are large, strong, well-formed and have
excellent wool. The eve lambs were
shorn when II months old, and tie
average yield of wool per head was l3f
lbs. This | consider very good, es-
pecially as the lambs alluded to were not
fed on artificial food. Some ram lambs
(fed on green barley during winter got
by same sireS, yielded on the average -
lbs. l3 OZS. of excellent wool each, the
bulk of which was sold IN Smithtield at
Cd. and Gid. per 10. find the progeny
of Nermonts very hardy, more so than
any other race of sheep. have not lost
a single lamb from wet or cold. The
lambs come on big and strong; they do
not suffer from Indictment weather, and
would not die even if dropped in snow
bank.
am more than pleased with the re-
suits of breeding from Vermont rams.
and for the future will only use these
sheep as stud rams, as am cOntideut
they are better than any other breed of
sheep.
Yours very truly,

A MODEL FIRST LADY.

Husbands Rule a Social Success.
Nine. Carnot, who was the first lady of
France until the hand of the assassin laid
her statesman husband low and robbed
France of its first man, was n model social
ruler. In her queenly position she was
kind but digniiied, hospitable, but IA firm
believer in true social propricty, intellec
tual, and yet not above small talk when it
seemed the appropriate thing. Her tact
was excellent, and her numerous social
graces gave to French official life a charm
it had not possessed for many years. She
Is very deaf but the infirmity rarely en-
barrassed her. AS her hearing failed her
keenness of vision increased, and whether
she distinctly heard what was said or not
she seemed to instinctively know what
was meant. Another characteristic that
made her popular with the people was the
fact that she was undoubtedly the best
dressed woman in the republic.
Before her marriage Mime. Carnot was
Miss Dupont White. She was mere girl
not out of her teens, when she married the
then obscure Marie Francois Sadi Carnot
