HERE AND THERE.

1t is better to start in with a small
flock of good sheep than a multitude OF
scrubs.
Rich food will make rich milk, and
rich milk will undoubtedly make the
most cream and butter.
-One-third corn meal and two-thirds
wheat bran make one of the very best
grain rations to feed for butter.
To make sheep profitable it is
necessary to live in the immediate
vicinity of the flock. Near enough to
smell them at least twice day.
One reason why an oily-wooled
sheep is always in good condition, is
because those in poor condition have
no oil to spare for the wool.
If the dairy, cows are good ones,
they will give full payment for the
feed and care, and leave the manure
as extra profit.
Sweet potatoes are good food for
mich cows. For this purpose the more
hardy and productive West India varie-
ties will answer. But for human food
plant good table potatoes or none.

WAsHINGTON's STATE DINNERS.
Very Solemn Affairs, According to an An
Gent AnnaIiSt.


Washington's state dinners must
have been exceedingly solemn affairs,if
they were all like the description of the
following, which is found in the ancient
diary of Senator Maclay, one of the
first two representatives, of the state of
Pennsylvania in the United States sem
ate:
Thursday, August 81, 17S9-A little
after four o'clock 1 called upon Mr..
Basset, of Delaware state, and we went
to the presidents for dinner
"The company were President and
Mrs. Washington, Vice President and
Mrs Adams, Gov. Mifflin and his wife,
Mr. Jay and his wife, Mr.. Langdon and
his wife, Mr.. Dalton and lady-per-
haps his wife-Basset, myself, Lee
Lewis and the presidents two secre-
taries.
''The president and his wife sat op-
posite each other in the middle of the
table. The two secretaries one at each
end. 1t was a great dinner, and the
best of the kind I ever was at. The
room, however, was disagreeably warm
First were soup, fish, roasted and
baked meats, CANNON, fowl, etc. This
was the dinner. The middle of the
table was garnished in the usual way,
with small images, artificial flowers,
etc. The dessert was fruit, apple pies,
pudding, etc; then ice cream, jelly,
etc; then watermelons, muskmelons,
apples, peaches and nuts.
ut was the most solmen dinner |
was ever at. Not a health drank.
scarce word said until the cloth was
taken away. Then the president, fill
ing glass of wine, with great formal
ity drank the health of every individ-
ual around the table. Everybody imi-
tated him, changed glasses and such a
buzz of Health, SIR Health, mad

bottle passed about, but there was
dead silence almost Mrs. Washington

expected the men would now begin,
but the same silence remained. The
president told of New England cler-
gyman who had lost his hat and wig in
passing a river called the Bronx, and
he smiled and everybody else laughed.
''He now and then said sentence or
two on some common subject, and what
he said was not amiss. Mr.. Jay tried
to make laugh by mentioning the
caricature of the duchess of Devonshire
assisting in carrying on Foxs election.
"The president kept a fork in his
hand when the cloth was taken away,
thought for the purpose of picking
nuts; he ate none, but played with the
fork, striking on the edge of the table.
We did not sit long after the ladies re-
tired The president rose and went up

Small Fruit Growing.

In the vicinity of many small towns
there are good openings for growing
and marketing small fruits. The
grower should plant a good variety
of strawberries, raspberries, black
berries, grapes. currants and goose
berries, as the longer he is in the
market the better he can supply the
wants of his customers. 1t will be q
help in this if, in addition to the diff
ferent kinds, he has two or more va
rieties, one early and one late, and in
some cases medium variety, in or
der to prolong the season as much as
possible. One advantage with the
home grower is that with good care
his fruit can be put into the co0sum-
er's hands in a better, fresher condi-
ton and at a less cost than il shipped
in.
AS with many other things con-
nected with farming. the better plan,
usually, is to start on small scale
and gradually increase as success
and the business warrant.
In order to sell cheaply it is essen
tial to grow them cheaply. AS an
aid to this prepare the soil in good
tilth before planting. st. Louis Re
