FARM AND GARDEN.
THE IRELAND SHEEP.

A Breed Whose History Goes Back Many
Hundreds of Years.
There is not another breed of sheep
in England that can trace its history
and origin so far back, or whose value
to the sheep industry has been so con-
tinuous and sharply defined for so
many centuries as the Ryeland- The
accompanying illustration of a Rye
land eve suggests the origin of the
breed, as there is considerable resem-
blance between her and the Merino
eve. This, with the peculiar character
Of the wool, leads, according to Will
liam Youatt, to the suspicion that the
Ryeland breed may be of foreign ex-
traction. The Merino breed in Spain
was one of those valuable gifts with
which the Romans were accustomed to
propitiate and enrich the people whom
they conquered; they were never sat
isfed until they had effected both the
introduction of sheep and the estab-
lishment of manufactures. 1t is a
historical fact that ten years after the
invasion of Britain by the Romans, in
the year 55 B. c., the victors estab-
ished wooden factory at Winchester,
and such was the character of the fab
RIGS that they were in great estima-
ton at Rome. 1t is easy to believe that
these fne-woo1 sheep were already
in the country. but it is possible that
they were a benefaction from the CON
querors 1860 years ago.
1t IS believed by Bishof that the
Herefordshire sheep, now called the
Ryeland, were the wool-bearing sheep
of England that gave such value and
interest to the wool Industry of Eng

HANpY ARRANGEMENT.

The accompanying illustration shows
an arrangement by which the poultry,

arranged along the sunny side, with a
walk extending the length of the other
side. The central grain building has q
chamber where part of the grain can
be stored in bins, the latter having
chutes to convey the grain to the first
floor. If this central building can have

The end of the lath run might be made
of the board taken off the box, and this
would save making an end frame.
Many dry goods boxes are longer
than wide. and can be sawed in two in
the middle, mailing the lath between
the separated parts. This would give
a run in the middle and a nest at each
end. Or, the long box may be sawed
in two and the lath from the front OF
one nailed onto the rear end of the
other, thus giving two nests and runs
instead of one.

A TIMELY PRESENT,
And 1t Was One Which Tom Would
Surely Need Before Long.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Tom was colored boy of about twenty
five in southern town, and he was lazy
and do-less, but not so much so that he
did not manage to get along somehow.
And Tom fell in love, for Cupid is no re-
specter of color or condition, but he went
up against his poverty at the first move
and then he began to think of way out.
As an experiment he went into the office
of the clerk who presided over the mar
rage licenses.

present."

Tom hesitated and then rushed in.

mos any udder present you could seleck."
Nothing venture, nothing have, and Tom
passed over the first obstacle in triumph.

From the New York Journal.
A story of Lord Aberdeen as snorer is
going the rounds.
One morning. after a night on the rail-
way, fellow-passenger asked his lordship
whether he was man of wealth.
Humoring the man, whom he took for a
crank, Aberdeen admitted that he was pos
sessed of considerable property.
How much?'
We'll, perhaps 100000. But why do you
ask?"
WELL" was the rejoinder, eff were worth
as much you are and snored as loudly 1
would take a railway carriage to myself, so
that my felloW-passengers might sleep a

A Philadelphia woman, having suffered
much in mind and body by her husbands
snoring, finally applied for divorce from
him on the ground of cruelty.
Her attorney filed the bill of divorce, but
disliking to go to an extreme went to work
to find cure for snoring and did it.
The remedy consists of olive oil and mus
tard Six drops of the former to pinch of
the latter, taken just before going to bed.
The function of the oil is that of lubri-
cant to the larynX, while the mustard is a
counter irritant.
