BREEDING AND FEEDING SHEEP.

From an address on "Principles in
Feeding and Breeding Sheep" given
before the students of the School o!
Agriculture, of the Ohio State Univer-
sity, by Professor Hickman of the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Stntion.
the following summary is made:
1t Goes not seem practicable to pro-
ducc the highest grade OF wool and tine
finest quality OF mutton from the same
flock.
While it is possible to obtain both
these products from the same flock,
either one or the other will be of in.
feror quality.
The production of superior quality
OF mutton from the merino is rot
practicable.
Tho breeder, if fully qualified for
his business, can breed to SUIT his
fancy. The sire is the more important
factor i'll breeding and should be the
production of the most careful breed
ing for series of years; he shoslt1
have all the qualifications of motel
possible to unite in one animal.
The dam must have, first Of all, O.
Boou, stronS cEnStltutlOn, next Il dOcilc
disposition, and finally tho power OF
transmitting these to her progeny to
marked degree. The production of n
cross-breed cannot be relied on for re-
producing fixed type.
The ram in all cases must have the
best of care ut breeding time, hus-
banding his strength ard requiring of
him the least possible exsrtion.
The ewes Mt breeding time should
not be in high flesh, but in COOL thirty
ing condition. Grain feeding should
be light until after the lambs have ar
rived.
Lambs should have feed other than
that taken from the mother, after they
are five weeks old, and should have
some grain feed throughout the first
year.
Corn alone is not in general good
feed for sheep OF any age or kind.
Wheat bran, ground oats, and little
oil meal are good gram foods, and
roots, such MS mangel- wurzels and
turnips, are admissible adjuncts; en-
silage is also one of tho best foods,
especially for breeding ewes.

ralvr oytcK1Y AND cARErULnr.

When setting and transplanting
trees and shrubbery great care should
be uscd not to exposs the roots to sun
ana winl longer than tx absolutely
necessary. Another important item in
transplantins trees, To insure their
living and Starting to grow ut once, is
'to use very iihc soil to fill tho holes,
being sure that it comes in contact
with the roots ut every point and is
male very firm about them The tree
is not safe if set carelessly in Jumps
and clods and left loose; the first net

they want something to feed upon. =

BARREN APPLE TREES.

Apple trees that grow i'll manfred

and yield no fruit. Too rich soil is
not desirable for an orchard, and the
best orchards are found on T. fairly

drained. When tho land has been
made too rich, root pruning Is advis-
able. This is done by digging II trench

MoUsEHoLD MATTERS.
KEEP YoJg DREAD DRY.

One hears great deal of talk about
moist bread, aud large number of
housekeepers shut their bread in
alright boxes to keep it moist. Such
barbarous treatment of bread may be
efiicacious in keeping it moist, but
bread from which fresh air is excluded
always has disagreable, clayeY fla
vor, and is unpalatable to people of
cultured tastes, who appreciate the
nutty sweetness that is prominent
characteristic of all good bread.
The. foolish notion of keeping bread
moist had its origin in bad cookery.
Most of the stuff made by bakers has
to be eaten fresh and moist, or not
eaten at all. 1t is SO light and woody
that If exposed to the air few hours,
it grows dry and husky, aud is almost
as unsavory and innutritious as chips.
A large proportion of homc-mads
bread is similar in character, and is
affected in q similar manner by ex-
posuro to the mir. But properly made
bread-sueh bread as ought to be in
every Intelligent home and on every
table three times day grows sweeter
by exposure to tho air, and is not Mt
its best until two or three days old.
Bread should be kept in well-covered
box or jar, but it should not be
wrapped in cloths, and the box or jar
in which it is kept should have small
holes in the top OF sides, through
which the fresh mir can have access.
AS soon rs loaves of bread are taken
from the oven they should be exposed
freely to pure air, and at no time af-
terward should they be excluded from
it. Make good bread, put it in we'll
ventilated box after it is perfectly
cool, and it will keep sufficiently moist
Mt least a week. New York Adyer-
tiser.

Cherry Mousse-One pint of cream,
three tablespoonful of sugar, one
hall teaspoonful of vanilla and one
cupful OF cherry juice. Whip with
egg heater, put in close covered
mold and pack in broken ice and rock
salt for two hours. 1t will tnrn out
like mold of ice-cream, but when
cut will be in little needle like flakes.
1t is delicious dessert
Escalloped Caulihower-This dish
may be prepared with cold boiled
caulifiower. Break the cauliAower
apart, butter n scallop- dish or shallow
pudding dish put in layer of caul:-
flower, moisten with cream sauce and
sprinkle over little grated cheese.
Put in another layer of the ingrcd1-
ents until tho dish is full, cover with
buttered bread crumbs and bake half
an hour in q moderate oven.
Summer Lettuce Dressine-Take
four tablespoonful of oil, two table,
spoonfuls of tGrragon vinegar, half
teaspoonful of salt and e-haIf tea
spoonful of paprika, or Hungarian red
pepper. Add the salt and pepper to

is best to first measure out one table
spoonful of oil and mix the seasoning
with that, then to add the'remainder.
Add the vinegar, n drop Mt time.
and stir vigorously. The mixture
should look like an emulsion. There
is now made convenient little affair
for dropping oil, drop at n time, in
meking salad dressing.
Bread and Apple Pudding Mix one
half cup of sugar and one half salt
spoonful of cinnamon. Melt one half
cup of butter and stir into it one pint
OF soft bread crumbs; prepare two
pints of sliced apples; butter pud-
ding dish put in layer OF crumbs,
then sliced apples sprinkled with
sugar. Repeat layers of crumbs, apples
and sugar until your material is used.
If the apples are not juicy add half
cup of cold water. Cover with thick
layer of crumbs, and, to prevent burn
ing, protect with tin for few min
ntes until it begins to bake. An huur,s
baking will suffice. Serve with cream.

A HOUSE PEST.

1t would seem Mt times rs if no
amount of vigilance would free us from
or keep us rid of the moth. Tn the
winter time, like oil insects Of this
class, tho moth remains torpid, in a
crysalis state, but no sooner do tho
warm spring months come than he
conspicuously obtrudes himself into /.
everything. It,does not help the case
to know that the male moth is entire
ly harmless, and that it is the female
who does the mischief; she lays her
eggs in every kind of textile fabric,
and rs soon as these hatch out they
begin the work of destruction. Many
good housekeepers believe that by
keeping their rooms dark they will ex-
clude the moth, but this is great
mistake as, like many other evil things,
this creature prefers darkness to light.
AS yet no remedy has been discovered
thsa will destroy the moth, for the
reaeon that we cannot find where tho
eggs arc laid; but it is we'll to know
that they will never deposit their eggs
where there is light, and knowing this
We can see that light itself serves us y
preventive, if not cure. Wherever it
wear stored away in closets should be
exposed for some time to the sunlight
before being dono up in papers OF LAID
away in boxes that are moth proof.
The fumes of camphor, as is we'll
known, have the effect OF driving of
moths but MS soon rs one enters
house that is so protected, the cam
phor manifests itself i'll an unpleasant
way, and on the streets and i'll the
cars the odor of camphor tells of gar
ments that have recently been pro-
tected from the moths. The buffalo
moth lis even moro destructive of car.
pets than the ordinary kind. As they
invariably lay eggs along the edges os
the carpets near the walls, slight
sprinkling of kerosene will destroy
their eggs, and while the odor is even
moro unpleasant than that of camphor,
it has the advantage of being more
volatile, and in day or two at the
most its evidence will have disap-
peared. 1t has been discovered by
New England housekeepcr that the
buffalo moth prefers materials of IA
blue or red color. The same keen oh.
server availod herself of this Informa-
tion when the buffalo moths were ON
the wing. She saturated strips of red
and blue flannel with preparation of
arsenic md kept these along the edges
of the carpet for a week or ten days.
After tho eggs were laid she took the
strips away, first noticing that they
were pretty well covered with moth
eggs, but rs soon rs the creatures
Matched out they began eating the
flannel and SO ended their own career.
