very materially to smooth the bad half

the other thing. "A gentleman who
graduated at a foreign court il the arts
OF peace and war may be cited as a
brilliant example of what a diplomatic

certainly devoted to a certain lovely

a bid for that also, being subtly con-

c FOR FARMERS.

SHELTER and car are cheaper thar
food for animals.
CLOVER hay and corn fodder are the
best feeds for mich cows.
TURKEYS Of about ten pounds il
weight find the readiest sale.
In feeding cut green bones allow one
pound to every sixteen hens.
FATTENING sheep do best confined il
small pens without the use of yards.
MILK is a great egg food, as it is
chemically similar to the white of al
egg, being rich in albumen.
THE shortage of feed has been a grea,
educator, and it is probable that here.
after farmers will care for and save
their fodder as they now do their hay.
IF butter is long in coming, stir in
three tablespoonful of good dairy salt
to every two gallons of cream and
churn at a temperature of about sixty
degrees.
TIE annual value of eggs and poultry
imported by Great Britain amounts to

countries as remote as Russia, Turkey,
Egypt and Morocco, as well as from

AMERICANS consume only about four

while the English people consume more
than three times that amount. Cheese

ThA Evil of Oxerfeedinr

DR.. Henry Stewart, says the Iowa
Homestead, once said that the greatest
cause of sickness and death mon
poultry is overlooking. The common
practice is to give the fowls all thew
will eat, as if fowls were wiser than
hogs and knew when they had enough.
Fowls and hogs, and even cows and
horses, when they get at a meal bin
never know when to stop until they
are gorged full to the top of the throat,
and then trouble begins. First, there
is indigestion, then fever, then cholera
orfever and gangrene of the intestines,
or Inflammation of the mucous mem
hrane, which is catarrh or roup, or an
t;srax, which is black comb, and other
fatal disorganizations Of the muscular
tissues and liver. In these cases medi-

broken away, and with strong black
patent thread she was economically
trying to place it again. Her old fig
ure was straight and alert; dusky of
skin asa gypsy; black eyes, sharp, yet
shrewdly kind; and her mouth was
drawn constantly into an elongated
oval of establishment at the ~"scan'lous'
ways of men and things beyond her
ken. Gowned always in china-blue
calico, gingham-aproned on week days,
d~imity-covered on Sundays; 1.-THE of

j~auntily her summers and winters Of
seventy odd. A girl, in the charming
furbelows of a more fashionable local
ity than slumbrous old Cattle Greek,
came slowly up the tagged and narrow
path bordered with hollyhocks in
their stately dignity of ancient family
descent, and overhung with tangles of
sweet brier in rosy cascades. AS she
reached the shelter of a wide, Vine
covered porch, she tossed aside her lace
trimmed parasol, and depositing on a
table two jars she had been carrying,
she flung herself on the wide, red s'set-
tee" and began to thank the old lady
volubly for the elixir" which had been
contained in the jars, and which had
proven a specific help to her mother.
The leaf shadows danced gayly on the
floor, a stray sunbeam cleaned
through them into the open kitchen

calfskin boots, cobbled with his own
hands. Mrs. Soper" had degenerated
into the cognomen of just ''ole Mis-

Hogs in the Gulf States.

While there has always been a large
consumption of hog products in the
south, the supply has hitherto been
chiefly brought from the north and
west. It is now proposed to overcome
the obstacle which the warm climate
OF that section presents by the intro
duction Of cold storage facilities and
to establish there a pork-packing house
which will stimulate the raising of
hogs in the gulf states. The scheme,
would appear to be perfectly feasible,

SHEEP FROM PERSIA.
Some That Were Imported in 1892 Arr
Doing Well in California.

Some That Were Imported in 1899 Are
Doing Well in California.
In the summer of 1892 a flock of thir-
teen sheep which arrived i'll New York
attracted much attention. They were
brought from Persia by Hon. Truxton
Reale, on his return from service as
United States minister plenipotentiary
near the court of the shah. The sheep
were not shaped in accordance with
American ideas of symmetry, nor were
they uniform in color. But the strilS-
ing popularity was the tail-so broad
and massive as to appear almost like a
continuation of the launches. In
color they were of various shades Of
brown and gray, but the prevailing
tone was a dark, reddish brown. After
undergoing the necessary legal
quarantine, they Nere forwarded to
California, where they and their prog
eny are now in the hands of Mr.. c. T.
Bailey, the noted breeder of Angora
goats. The climate Of California has
proved highly favorable to them, and the
original flock has more than doubled.
The mutton of these sheep is said to be
very fine in quality and flavor. The
tail is composed almost wholly of fat,
and is esteemed a great d%elicacy, and
is used in cookery as butter is en-
ployed among western people. 1t
often weighs from 20 to so pounds
when the animal is in good condition.
The entire live weight of these sheep
is from $50 to $50 pounds for rams, and
125 to 40 pounds for ewes. The tleeces
are light and of little value. The
staple is known in the markets as
Smyrna wool, and is employed chiefly
for making carpets. The rams cross
very successfully on the ewes of
Merino and other American breeds, the
lambs being heavier and of earlier ma
turity than pure-bred Merino. The
counter cross is not as practicable for
structural reasons.
The Persian sheep, widely as they
differ from the European and American
breeds, are fairly typical of the ovine
race which has grazed the hills and
valleys of western Asia from the ear
Hest historic ages. That the sheep so
frequently referred to IN the Bible
were of this type is evident, not only
from the testimony of history, but also
from the sacred writ itself. In Levitt
Gus, third chapter ninth verse, it is

Collecting Eggs In Cold Weather.

When an egg is exposed to severe
cold it is quickly injured. The con
tents expand and the egg cracks open,
which renders it useless except to be
quickly used upon the table, as such
eggs can not be sold. Even if the egg
does not crack. the extreme cold de-
stroys the germ, and if it is used for
incubating purposes it will not hatch.
Then, again, when an egg has been
frozen and then exposed to a higher
temperature until it thaws, it will be
no longer fresh, as decomposition
quickly begins. In winter always col
lect the eggs often, SO as to avoid freez-
ing them.

riiced as a peace Offering, the priest
should take 1.-The fat thereof, the whole
rump off hard by the backbone" The
seven thousand sheep of Job, the tiocks
which David watched on the plains Of
Bethlehem, and the sheep which are
found to-day in western Asia in num-
bers from the single lamb reared in
the peasants hut to the great flocks
which constitute the woolly wealth of
some great sheik or hey, all are typi6ed
by these Persian sheep. They r adj
mirably adapted to the situation in
which they are found. The peculiar
appendage which marks them from
other ovine races is really a provision
against vicissitudes of their climate.
Like the hump of the bison, camel and
zebra, it is a reservoir of fat, which
~sustains the life Of the animal when
food resources partially fail. In periods
of drought or scarcity of food, the tail,
like the humps referred to, becomes alb
sorbed and shrinks away, to fill out
again to full proportions when the
rains have started the pasturage into
abundant growth.-George A. Martin,

STORIES AT MOTHERS KNEE.

The years pass over my head,
And its hair Is changed to gray;
The light of the eyes IS fed,
That shone In the other day.
And mem'ry is faulty grown
In much that was dear to me,
Yet never have been o'erthrown
The stories at mothers knee.
Often 1 think of her now,
AS I muse by the fireplace,
And see the curls on her brow,
. And her warm and gentle face;
The tones of her voice SO dear.
Then tenderly come to me,
And again l seem to hear
The stories at mothers knee.
They filled my soul with delight
And many an hour l spent,
AS the twilight grew into night,
Listening in blissful content.
OF the great n good she told,
And her words were sweet TO me,
And better than gems or gold,
Those stories at mothers knee.
So to live Nv always tried,
In the way she trained my youth,
When her dear lips sought to guide
My heart in the paths of truth;
And I pray that Heaven will
This memory leave to me-
A storehouse to cherish still,
TIL stories at mothers knee.
