Oleo In Prince.

The French chamber of deputies has
passed very stringent measure by
which it is made illegal for dealers In
butter to keep cleo for sale, or vice
versa; the fraudulent compositions are
only to be sold at places especially de-
signed by the municipality of each
town. Moreover, all boxes, firkins. or
other packages containing oleo, must
bear the word margarine" in large
characters, and full description must
be given of the elements employed in
making the composition. In the retail
trade all oleo must be placed in bags,
on the outside ofw hich are to be found
a description of the article with the
name and address of the vendor. Full
authority is given to the inspectors to
enter butter factories and shops, and
take specimens for analysis; in the
event of the specimens being found
pure the cost yill be borne by the state.
The penalties for an infraction of the
new law will vary from six days to
three months imprisonment, and a
fine of $50 to $1,000, while in the event
of the same person being convicted a
second time within a year, the maxi
mum fine will also be imposed. There
will also be a heavy fine imposed on
persons who place hinderance in the
way of the inspectors.

Medium Hogs for Market.--Drovers'
Journal: Big corn means big hogs.
Big hogs means lots of lard, big hams
and big pork, which is now, and is
liable to remain heavy drug on the
market The January furry in the
prices of hogs and provisions made ev-
erybody feel bullish, and the conse-
quence was farmers and feeders held
their hogs long after they ought to
have been shipped. While cellars and
storehouses have been crowded with
heavy, fat stuff that nobody seemed to
want, packers say they cannot possibly
supply the demand for bacon and cuts
of pork made from light hogs at prices
considerably above board Of trade quo
tations There is nothing like supply
ing the demand with what it wants.
and holding already heavy hogs to
simply store more cheap corn into
them is folly. Better sell the hogs
when they are at the most desirable
weights and save the corn, which will
come in handy.

Sheep.

The history of sheep husbandry dates
back to almost as remote period as
that of man, and from that time to the
present. has justly occupied a promi-
nent position in the commerce OF all
civilized nations of the world. being a
source of luxury. ornament and profit,
and when John Randolph of Roanoke
publicly proclaimed that he would at
any time go mile out of his way to
kick a sheep. he virtually asserted that
1t would be a luxury to abuse his best
friend. do not propose in this brief
essay to give the origin or history of
the various families or kinds of sheep,
but will view the subject as it exists in
our country at the present time, as a
branch of mixed husbandry. That a
flock of sheep is a necessity on the
farm I unhesitatingly assert AS la
borers in the field they are Industrious
and thorough, feeding upon briars and
many other species Of vegetable YER

forage, both in summer and winter, that

UNCLE DANIEL.
10 wonder He Remembefsd His Grand
mothers Quaint Speeches.

mothers Quaint Speeches.
Uncle Daniel was one Of the char
acters Of the Saco valley. He was
always bubbling over with droll
speeches, says the Youths Companion.
At one time he adopted city-bred
boy who gave him great annoyance
by not falling in with country ways
Uncle Daniel tried hard to teach him
to NOW, but in vain, and after time
the old gentleman was heard inquiring
at the village for small boy about
4 years old"
What do you want him for?" some
one asked.
Il want him to ride on the heel Of
Georges scythe and keep it down"
was the answer.
Again, when it was the custom Of
the neighbors to change work" in
dressing their pork, the water had
cooled somewhat before Uncle Daniels
hog was immersed and the bristles did
not yield readily. The other men, at
a little distance, were succeeding bet
ter.
'Is yours bout ready to hang up.
Daniel?" inquired brother butcher
across the way.
Yes. Joe," was the disguised an
swer, IF you want to hang him up
by the hair of his head"
His neighbors complained that the
squirrels were eating their corn, but
Uncle Daniel boosted that he had no
trouble at all.
"But how do you prevent it," they
asked.
Il never plant any outside rows"
he answered wisely.
Then it was remembered that he did
not plant corn at all.
A gentleman once asked him if he
could remember his grandmother.
Il guess can," said Uncle Daniel,
"but only as I saw her once. Father
had been away all day, and when he
came home he found I had failed to
do something he expected of me. He
caught up a rough apple-tree limb and
walked up to me with it. Grand
mother appeared on the doorstep with
a small, straight stick in her hand
and instantly handed it to my father.
Here, joe, said she, lick Daniel
with a smooth stock And he did.
Who wouldn't remember such a grand.
mother as that"

NO. You see, I got somewhat tan
gled up among the cowpaths in the

A MOTHER-OF-PEARL HOUSE.
Bailt BY . Chinese Fisherman Many
Years Ago.

Built by . Chinese Fisherman Many
Years Ago.
Old hatitations are to be found all
over California, says the San Francisco
Call. Sometimes there is good reason
for them being odd, but often it is the
result OF some crank idea. On the
beach near Cypress Point, in Monterey
county, there is one that cannot come
under the first head and hardly under
the last. The residence belongs to
Chinese fisherman and is part natural
and part the work of his own hands.
The natural portion of the house is a
small cave in one of the many rocks
that stick up all over the beach. The
other part is q sort of wooden shed
which has been built in front of this
opening. The lumber used is of the
toughest kind but the esthetic China
man overcame this objection by cover
ing the whole outside with abalors
shells, the hollow side being turned
out. The Chinaman evidently did that
many years ago, when the shells were
plentiful and had scarcely any market
SSAuC. Every Shell uSeu mas Ooo0 ue-
stroyed as one or more nails have been
driven through them according to their
size. Some Of the shells are magnifi-
cent in color and enormous in size.
There is one at least fifteen inches
In diameter, and a duplicate in
good condition could not be bought in
San Francisco for any price. Most Of
the larger shells, if they were not
punctured with naiiholes, would read
lily sell for from So to S. apiece. But
that size cannot be had in the market
now, and would be difficult to find on
the rocks Of any part of the coast. The
general effect of the house, when the
sun strikes it at the proper angle, is
dazzling. The polished, pearly sur
faces sparkle with astounding bril-
liancy and fash with all the colors Of
the rainbow. 1t is pleasing and sur
prisfng sight and the only pity is that
so many beautiful shells were de-
Stroyed to produce it.

Judicious Feeding OF Cattle

In an address. E. P. Lee said: If
We would be successful breeders of cat
tie, We should give to our cows an
abundant supply of healthful food,
proper shelter and exercise; then select
the best bull We can afford to purchase,
for crossing with them; and when this
is accomplished, We have employed
more or less imperfectly all the pro-
cesses under which the domestic ami
mails Of the same species develop into
breeds. Good food, or the lack OF 1t,
exercise in moderation or excess, shell
ter or exposure, and selection or care
lessness in crossing. these make up the
sum total of the influences which modi-
fy constantly, for better or for worse,
our horses and cattle, hogs and sheep.
The form, constitution, and temper OF
every domestic animal is, aside from
the characteristics of the species, the
effect Of the interplay of these causes
Judicious feeding, careful treatment In
shelter and exercise, and skilful selec-
ton for coupling, are the key notes to
the breeders's art. If one Of these be
lacking, breeding is nearly failure.
II all are defective, the animals that
result are we'll night worthless. We
must be careful in regard to mating.
The breeder should notice the defects
OF the female he wishes to breed, and
couple her with a male as nearly per-
feet as possible; and especially strong
in the point where she is weak. and by
so doing for few generations. We shall
have arrived at nearly perfection.

Egg Eating Hens.


I have had some hens ca: their eggs
where laid, but find that 1t almost al
ways occurs in midwinter or early
spring when the birds are short Of
grit. It generally commences by lay
ing soft shelled eggs or laying OF the
roosts at night, when they have an OPP
portunity to roll the eggs around and
peck at them. When the spring is
fairly on and the laying season in full
swing, I have never been bothered ex-
cept by an occasional case. and II I
can detect that hen OF goes her head.
My sitting hens never bother me by
eating the eggs set under them, unless
I happen to put in an egg that has a
very soft shell and it gets broken in
the nest, or in some case where the
nest is made in such a manner that
the hen has to drop into it from too
great height, and thus accidentally
break an egg. But those accidents l
usually guard against after one expert
ence. AS to treatment. II it is an iso-
lated case of egg eating and I can find
the hen I chop her head of. But If in
early spring or in the winter a mania
seems to seize them for egg eating /
scatter china nest eggs on the floor
and in the nests, and keep all eggs
picked up as fast as they are laid for
few days and find no difficulty in
stopping the habit in this way.
