EVERY FARM SHOULD HAVE SHEEP.

Every farm, if it is but dozen
acres, should have its few sheep, and
small orchard grass pasture for them
to run in. This grass is the earliest
OF all and will afford full bite u
month before timothy is available. As
this grass has very loose open
growth it is we'll to SOW the small red
clover with it.
Mutton is becoming more anil more
popular, and the small flock will sup
ply the farm house with the most nc
ceptable meat, after the poultry. The
farm meat clubs will be found very
convenient for the disposal of mutton,
for four families can easily consume n
mutton carcass in the warmest part of
the summer, and by interchange
among each other the few members
may be always supplied with fresh
meat of the finest quality and at the
very cheapest rate. New York

HOW TO DRESS FOR A pHoroaRApu.

The greatest number Of sitters are
utterly ignorant rs TO how materials,
colors and styles of costumes will ap-
pear in the finished portrait, and the
operator is blamed for what is, as n
rule, not his fault.
As rule it is well-and should be
required-to avoid very positive pat
terms, such as large plaids, checks.
wide stripes and much Jet or other
glitterlnS trimmings and much Jew
elry.
Sharp contrasts in materials, trim
ming or style of cut are n decided
detriment TO II pleasing portrait, and,
rs rule, the tone Of color should
harmoni2e with the sitter complexion
and HAIR.
Glistening silks are difficult TO light
well, rs is any material which does not
easily lend itself to soft folds.
Dead lustre silks, soft woolens.
grapes, fleecy tissues aud similar ma,
terials are always effective.
One should soften by rendering
indefinite the line between skin and
dress, both at neck and wrists, re-
Numbering always that, however well

alters before the camera and may call
attention to what might otherwise

up the cords except one, or rather q

10 me that the vine saw the pole and

TOMATOES REQUIRE R1cH SOIL.

An old notion that relatively poor
soil Is better for tomato growing was
long ago exploded Deductions from
experiments in Maryland indicate that
potash tends to develop acid in the
fruit, while phosphoric acid produces
larger percentage of sugar. Voor-
hees found that nitrate of soda, used
III small amounts, or divided into two
or more applications, increased the
yield without delaying early ripeniug );
but II larger quantities were used ma
turlty was regarded. But it was con
cluded that nitrogen is the ruling ele-
ment III the growth of the tomato, nj
though its best effect depends upon
the presence of n full supply of other
elements. In general we hold that
while heavy fertilizing does not lessen
productiveness, the best fertilizers are
those which hasten growth early in
the season. Atlanta Journal.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES

Don't feed corn now that the
weather has warmed up.
Don't forget to supply plenty OF
dust or siited coal ashes for the fowls
to wullow in.
Open water dishes are disastrous to
ducklings. They get wet, roll over
on their backs and die.
Fowls, like all other stock, must
have refreshing sleep all night, and n
perch full OF lice will keep them awake
as much as bed full' of bugs would
torment It's owner.
To keep ducks successfully and
without annoyance about Watering

Aou can't do better than work egg

The best food for laying ducks is
scalded bran and table scraps. Ensi

ducks. Raw carrots arc good food.
Very little grain will be consumed if
green food and table scraps are fur

On many farms geese can be made

town where there are many Israelites,

HOMEMADE PIANO LAMP.

There is really nothing the Ameri-
can girl can't do when she tries. For
instance, II couple of clever Washing
ton girls have actually made them
selves piano lamp. They have wit,
they have the best of breeding, but
they haven't money. a ready-made
piano lamp was beyond then. so they
set to work to manufacture one. First
they took three broomsticks and tied
them together tripod fashion. These
they wrapped lightly with coarse cord
and fastened flower pot Mt the top.
The whole was covered with innumer-
able coats of black enamel paint, and
when an old brass lamp was fitted into
the pot, with an overgrown shade TO
top off with, you'd have said the lamp
was the latest thing in wrought iron

AGRICULTURAL
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN,
TEETH OF HORSES.

The teeth of horses need frequent
attention, more especially in young
than i'll old horses The teeth of the
upper and lower jaws do not match
perfectly and in consequence they do
not wear evenly. They usually wear
with rough edge on the outer upper
and on the inner lower sets, and this
edge cuts the cheeks and tongue and
prevents the horse from properly chew
ing his food. The remedy is simple
and is to have the teeth filed, and it
should be done before the horse shows
his condition in a rough coat, loss of
flesh and refusal to eat hay and oats.
