Value of Cotswold and Merino Breeds.

Value of Cotswold and Merino Breeds.
There is more or less discussion among
sheep raisers as to the relative value OF
Cotswold and Merino breeds. While
there is a great difference of opinion a,
to their merits, a Utah authority in
sheep husbandry claims that there are
none who will dispute the fact that be-
tween these two breeds will be fought
the battle that will decide which is the
best sheep for our mountain and desert
ranges. Without doubt the Cotswold
eve is the best mother and the lambs are
more hardy than those of the Merino'
On the other hand, the genuine French
Merino yields much the larger clip, and
1t the same time gives a larger carcass
for the shambles. We believe, says the
authority referred to, that the coming
sheep for the western country will be
cross between these two breeds, having
the best qualities of the two judiciously
blended. This will take time, of course,
but, if all sheep raisers would strive to
that end, it would mean a greater amount
of wool, a better grade of wool, and
higher price for it than we get now.

A HAPFY USE OF VINES.

The balcony is broad and comfortable,
high enough above the ground to catch
the light breezes on q sultry summer
evening, and the air Of the whole house
is one of common sense and comfort, but
the artistic grace and sense of pleasure
comes from the natural festoons of wood
bine, or Virginia creeper, that depend
from the pillars and caves Of the porch
and climb the corner Of the house. The
Japan hop winds above the railing of the
balcony stairs, mingling with the moon
flower and Coboea scandens. Long rustic
boxes around the outside edge of the
balcony hold masses of nasturtiums, that
spread about and hang over the edge with
an air of gladness. Ivy geraniums and
lobeias add their beauty and color. A
few potted plants lent their grace of form
to the combination, and beds of scarlet
geranium carried the bloom and color
upon the lawn until the whole place was
q mass of color and greenery. Take this
away and imagine the desolation that
would remain!

Use Your Eyes.

Observation, like most other human
faculties, can be highly developed, and
those who possess it to-a good degree
have great advantage in the affairs
of life.
A farmer who reared a family of four
boys, drilled them in observing things
at every opportunity, and all became
good men of business in consequence,
as he believes. One day he brought
home new flock of sheep, which his
boys noticed in the pasture on their
return from school. The father asked y
Boys, did you see the new sheep?"
Yes, father"
'H0w many are there ?'
II don't know"
"All OF you go back"--half mile
''immediately and find out. NV boys
must know what is happening on this
farm"
The boys kept their eyes open after
that.
Later, one of these boys, teaching in
school house at the foot of wooded
hill, sent a pupil out and told him
to 20 round the hill, and on his return
tell what he saw. The moment he
came in another was dispatched on the
same errand. Boy No. l had seen
q hill, some trees, and when he
tumbled off q fence he saw stars.
When No. 2 returned, he had seen a
partridge nest with thirteen eggsin it,
crow fly off her nest in tree, q
beautiful red and yellow bird, and
many more interesting things. That
boy had his eyes open, and he made
an excellent business man, while tht
other spent most of his life living on
the charity of friends.
Another person trained his boy in
observation so persistently that he
could tell the number of horses, caCtle,
and sheep, every farmer had for miles
around; their size color, and qualities
what crops and kind of fences and
buildings each had, and whether the
latter were in good repair or not what
kinds of timber grew in their woods,
and much similar information. The
training did him great good, and
when he came into possession of the
home farm, if he wanted any timber
or an animal, he knew where to &c
and purchase it !; besides, observing SC
much the way others did things, he
saw how TO improve many polnts
| in regard to his own farm.
Not one man in thousand can tell
whether two horses will match unless
they see them together, but this
man knew every time. He made 8
good deal of money by matching hors'
es and selling them in spans. He
never took the horse with him that he
desired to match, for then the man
of whom he wished to purchase would
ask more, thinking he could get it fol
the sake of the match. Trained
observation paid him well.
Solving the intricate problems OF
geometry and trigonometry is an
excellent preparation for solving many
of the problems occurring in every day
life, but constant observation of ones
daily surroundings is better. The
school of observation is "free schooP'
in the strictest sense. 1t involves nc
expense for teacher, apparatus, fuel
or books ; the only volume required is
the book open and spread out before
ones eyes gratuitonsly and perpet'
ually. This school can have no
graduates" for eyes can never behold
all there is to be seen.

lhe Proper Time for Stopping the Churn
Photographs of Butter Churned Jus
Enough" and "Too Much'-Informatioa
Concerning Red Polled Cattle.
A great deal has been said and writer
BY dairy workers about the proper tim'
for stopping the churn. Much OF this
information has been lost because it Is
difficult matter to tell person just how
a thing ought to appear. One glance
from an observing eye being worth more
than ralf hours mere talk, Rural New
Yorker conceived the idea of having
samples of butter photographed - as
taken from the churn-one just right
and the other showing the effects OF
overchurning. These photographs we
reproduce, alo~ssrith the original de-
scription, for the benefit of our own
leaders.

HITTER CHuRNEp JUST ENOUGH.

BUTTER CHURNED JUST ENOUGH.
The first illustration, showing sample
Of butter with particles like shot, repre-
sents the condition in which butter prop
erly churned should be.
The object of having the butter in this
condition is that it may be in such
shape that the buttermilk may be
washed out instead of having to be
worked out, as would have to be done
when the butter is churned into large
humps. Cream that is properly ripened
and churned at about 60 degrees can be
brought to the proper granular condition
with little care in watching the churn.
Then by washing the buttermilk all out
and working just enough to thoroughly
distribute the salt, the butter should be
in the best possible condition for imme'
date use or for keeping.
In the second cut is represented an
overchurned sample, such as is com.
monty found among the majority OF
farmers. This is in large Jumps, which
are Objectionable for the reasons already
suggested.
Several Wisconsin dairymen who have
won prizes for their butter tell how they
manage. One says: II churn the cream
In revolving churn until the butter
comes into a granular form. Then put
brine in ard revolve the churn few
times, and then the butter will be like
small shot. Then I draw off the butter.
milk and put in water and revolve the
ohurn, and then draw off the water and
repeat till the water is clear. Then the
butter is fit to be salted. shake the salt
over the butter in the churn and revolve
once and salt again. The butter is like
shot all this time. Then revolve the
churn over and over till the butter is ir
one big ball ready for packing.
Another butter winner says: l use the
barrel churn, and churn at 81 degs.
When the butter is about the size OF
mustard seed stop and make two OF
three quarts of weak brine and put that
in, and then revolve the churn few
times and let it stand three or four min
utes and then draw off the buttermilki

A Suggestion for Sheep Shearing Time.

"A Suggestion Tor Sheep Shearlng Time.
Many farmers at sheep shearing time
roll up the fleeces SO carelessly and hide
in them so much filth that it is not strange
they receive low prices for the clip.
Another thing, all burrs ought to be
clipped out of the fleece. The Wool
Grower, calling attention to this subject,
says:
If sheep are ranged in a section where
burrs grow, of course their feeces will
be more or less infested with the nuisance,
and the wool will net the owner three
cents a pound and upwards less, depend.
ing upon the amount of burrs and the
price of wool, than if free from the de-
feet; for if buyer can feel few burrs
in a piece of wool he naturally concludes
that the bellies and fanks Of all fleeces
of that clip are loaded with burrs, and
he makes his offer in accordance with
that view.
When shearing is progressing, the men
who are tying up the feeces can pass
their hands over each fleece as it lies
upon the wood table, and in a few mo-
ments can clip off the burrs with pair
of shears. If they are unable to keep up
with the shearers and do that, we think
it would pay the owner Of the wool to
put an extra hand or two at the work,
and let them pass the feeces along to
the men who tie, as fast as the burrs are
clipped. We hope some Of our friends
who are so unfortunate as to have bury
wool will try our plan, and see if they
cannot save money by the operation.

Curing Cheese.

Professor James w. Robertson ex-
presses the opinion, based on expert
ence, that the temperature of the cheese
curing room should be kept as nearly
regular at e5 degrees as possible. A
,light chilling, after cheese has been
curing at 65 degrees for two weeks, does
little damage; but a steady temperature
md constant curing give tile best re-
,ults. Bitter favored cheese are usually
The result of chilling in either the max
Ing room, press room or curing room.

OBSERVATIONS AND EXPERIENCES
OF PRACTICAL INTEREST.

The Happy Use of Vines-Ho" an Unpre-
tentious House May BE Transformed
Into Picturesque Object by the Plant
ers Efforts Rather Than the Architects.
The unpretentious cottage of our illus
tration, a reprint from American Garden,
is a pleasing and somewhat unusual
style of building, but the obseryant
reader will notice that the home like
charm and natural grace that surround
it are the result of the planters efforts,
rather than those of the architect and
carpenter. These appear to have done
their work well, for, although a cottage,
it appears free from those "baby house"
conceits that often mar dwellings of this
order, and render them unpleasant for
human habitations-

Brussels Sprouts and Savoys.

For delicate form of cabbage Brus-
sells sprouts are to be commended. These
require a rich soil. The plants ought to
receive the same treatment as do cab
bages, but the sprouts last all summer,
and should therefore be placed where
they can have the whole ground for the
season. The plants grow with large,
loose, cabbage like top and tall stalk
below, over which little cabbage like
heads form, which can be gathered all
summer and until the hard frosts Of the
north may destroy them. At the south
they endure the winter.
Most people who consider cabbage an
essentially coarse food are unacquainted
with the Savoy class. Even the Savoys
which have been crossed and increased
in size and coarseness, like the Drum
head Savoy, are still far superior to the
ordinary fat Dutch and Drumheads. And
now we have variety known as the
Melted Savoy, which combines fair size
with the highest quality.
