Some persons are apt to become lost
among the many breeds of sheep and
unable to make choice on account of
the variety offering. But good sheep
may be of any kind, just as a good
man may be of any race, or color even.
white or black or yellow, for the pur-
pose for which any one may wish to
use him. To some extent sheep is
valuable for some special location, as,
for instance, the mountain breeds, as
equally so the lowland breeds and the
marsh breeds. But it has appeared
that all these breeds when brought to
this great North America have found
homes anywhere, and everywhere,
without any regard to their antece-
dents. 1t is true that some of our
breeds seem to do better in some
places than in others, but yet others
thrive side by side with them. 1t is
in the man rather than in the place or
the sheep that success in the rearing
exists. And the right man will always
find the right place for any kind of
sheep he may take fancy to. Indeed,
this word exactly fills the bill; it is
the fancy of the man which always
does and always will control the choice
of the flock. This may be thought
somewhat questionable, but, as a mat
ter of experience, the writerIof this,
who has kept sheep in the North and
South, East and West, during forty
years past, and has kept every leading
breed during that time. must say ad-
visedly and truly that as far as choice
of breed is concerned it is immaterial; !;
all that is wanted is good sheep and
good shepherd to manage it. Then
all goes well.
AS to the fleece, we may say there is
demand for,,every kind of wool grown,
and as for mutton, while it is true that
some naturally surpass other kinds, it
is only for the excessively nice mutton
eater that one well-kept and fed
sheep will surpass any other kind. 1t
is somewhat like the gifts of mind
mentioned by an old writer; men have
them not all alike, but some exceed
others very greatly in the kind of
them. All, however, are useful and
find place in the world. So it is with
the sheep. We have here many less
kinds than exist in that small country,
England, more properly Great Brit
ain. and Ireland, or the United King
dom, but there each man swears by
his favorite kind, that it is the best,
and so it is for him. And so let us
all choose according to our fancy, and
and then make our choice, by skillful
culture, the best for each one of us.
There is no war of breeds anywhere
every specialist in breeding sheep is
helping to advance the race. The
only thing to be done is to get the
chosen breed of the best sheep possi-
BILE, and then by the best management
try to keep it up to the highest stand
ard. But don't let any of US be like
the man whose mind could not be
made up to a choice, and so made
noao. Every one who can should
have Hook, and care for it as well as
he can. by study of the animal and
due attention to every one of its ne
cessities. s.-An Ancient Shepherd, in
American Sheep Breeder.

To remove stains from silver, especi-
ally such as are caused by medicine or
by neglect, use sulphuric acid, rubbing
it on with little flannel pad, then
rinsing the articles most carefully at
once. For less ingrained stains, the
pulp of a lemon, whose juice has been
used for lemon squash, may be recon-
mended, as both efficient and harm
less. Indian silver and brass is al
ways cleaned by natives with lemon or
lines. 1t may be as we'll to warn house
keepers in these days, when pretty
serving is such consideration, that,
where one had to reheat food in sill
yer dish from which it is impossible to
shift the eatable, baking tin should
be half filled with hot water, doubled
sheet of paper should be placed in this
and the silver dish stood upon it, after
which it will take no harm from the
effects of the oven heat. Again, as
eggs and vinegar are alike apt to dis
color plated or silver dishes, always
run little weak aspic Jelly over the
silver dish before dishing the mayon-
naise, ETC., to be served in it, and if
this coating is allowed to set before
putting in the other materials the dish
will suffer no damage that hot soap and
water will not easily remove.

Spring is better time to set trees
than fall, because at that season trees are
beginning to grow and will, therefore,
be in a condition to respond more readi-
ly to treatment, while in fall they are
unlikely to establish themselves before
cold weather sets in. Preserve the roots
to the fullest possible extent and do not
disturb the tree until after it has ripcn.
ed and has shed its foliage. If the roots
are cut away, as they almost invariably
are in spring planting, be sure to cut
back the top proportionately. -Eben Z
Rexford in Ladies' Home Journal
