AGLAIA, OR YELLOW RAMBLER.
growing, with it's yellow coloring, climb
ing habits and claims of hardness. Pc
ter Lambert, the German rosarian, is
the originator. This new rose-Aglaia,
or Yellow mbler-is reported to have
withstood unprotected and without in
jury continued temperature of from
zero to degrees below, and, although
it has not yet been fully enough tested
to know positively about its capability
for undergoing still lower temperatures,
yet there is no reason to think that it
will not also Withstand a much greater
degree of cold. In any event, it is be-
lieved that with very little protection
III winter the yellow climber will do
well anywhere that other roses succeed.
In producing the Yellow Rambler Mr..
Lambert selected for "the mother the
japanese Polyantha sarmentosa, wild
rose native to Japan and vigorous,
hardy climber Flowers of this Polyan-
tina sarmentosa were then fertilized
with pollen of a yellow rose called Reve
dor, which, on account of its having
somewhat greater hardness than most
yellow roses, was a suitable variety for
the purpose. The seed resulting from
this hybridizing was planted. and the
Aglaia, or Yellow Rambler, is the result.
1t is interesting to note that there is a
very strong probability of blood rela-
tionship between. the Yellow Rambler
and the Crimson Rambler. There is con-
siderable similarity in foliage, habit of
growth and manner of blooming. The
flowers of the Yellow Rambler are borne
in trusses, like those of the Crimson
Rambler, and are very sweetly fragrant
and last long time without fading.
Taking everything into consideration.
the Yellow Rambler certainly gives
promise of being an important and val
liable addition to our list of roses.

to the stock and the fields as we'll We
do not waste our manure, nor do We
have to haul much of it, and the farm
gets the benefit of being stock farm.
The steers were fed the first winter
on shelled oats, ear corn chopped tc
short pieces, corn fodder and mixed
clover and timothy hay. The sum-
mer and fall that they were year
lings they ran ON blue grass without
other feed About Dec. l we commenced
to feed them shocked corn, very gradu-
ally and slowly bringing them to full
feed. They were now i'll larger field,
ON which had been left plenty of blue
grass. In May last, when the corn was
getting hard, we ground it, adding a
pound or so to the steer Of oilmeal.
About this amount of oilmeal was con-
tinued until they were marketed. AT
all times we tried to maintain variety
in the feed | do not believe that the
best results, either in gain of pounds OF
i'll profit or in quality of beef, can be Sc
cured without variety i'll the feed. From
calves to the stockyards these cattle had
always good, pure water. They were
gently handled, and when they came tc
the stoclzyards were almost as quiet a.
set of milk cows.
The summer that they ran on blue
grass only l consider partly lost. The
yearlings we have now have had feet
all along, and they weigh about 300
pounds more than the $500 steers die

Pinching House Plants.

A geranium. if left alone, will grow
up loose. struggling and perhaps mis-
shapen. Properly trained, it might grow
up into round, handsome, we'll bal
anced plant. The secret of good shape
in a plant lies in ''pinching." Pinching
a plant means to squeeze or pinch of
between thumb and finger the tender,
growing tip of a growing stem on the
plant. The immediate effect seems to be
an injury. The plant appears to stop
growing. 1t is checked for day OF
two, but the ultimate result is a great
gain to the plant. The single stem be-
comes double or quadruple The plant
becomes many branched. Pinching is a
fine art. It enables the plant lover to
train and guide his plants into fine
shapes. 1t makes stronger and better
plants and increases the crop of flowers
and fruits, says The American Agricul-
turist

Green Manuring and chemieals.

H. E. Van Demen Of the department
of agriculture is credited with the state
ment that ''the farmers of New Jersey,
who had been accustomed to bring train
loads of manure from New York, have
found that it paid them much better to
green manure by blowing in leguminous
crops and supply i'll a concentrated form
whatever elements these plants did not
furnish. 1t is his opinion that when
there is any long haul to be considered
this is the best plan for anybody.

EARLY LAM BIS.

Success Is Assured by Careful Attention.
to Details.
In New York state few are making
a success of raising lambs for the early
market. Those who have succeeded in
getting the lambs in time have realized
a good profit.
A part of our sales of lambs last win
ter was as follows:
Dec. 81 two lambs at $9.............s 1S.O(
Dec. 81, one lamb at &c.. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 6.0t
The one lamb for which Sc was re-
ceived was the largest one-was too large
for the time of year; hence the Lower
price Our next consignment was as
follows:
Feb. g. four lambs at SIS. q
Feb. 81 one lamb at $3.50. 6.5
We continued sending lambs every
week or ten days until May 6, when the
lust We're sent, bringing 50. 90 each.
The average price obtained for all the
lambs sent was about S.. This price fol-
lambs from to 7 weeks old enables one
to realize fair degree Of profit.
Success can only be assured by the
most careful attention to details. A
warm place must be provided for the
sheep, and they should not be allowed
to leave their shelter during cold wealth
er. Ventilation of their quarters must
be provided, and all direct drafts on the
sheep be excluded. Before lambing feed
lightly with grain and roots. Heavy feed
ing would cause trouble with the I'D
der After the lamb is dropped then the
grain ration may be gradually increas-
ed and roots or ensilage fed in increas-
ed amounts, the purpose being to slim
ulate milk production, for upon this
the growth of the lamb depends. KeeT
the lambs growing from the start and
keep them laying on fat, for, no matter
how large the lamb, unless fat and il
prime condition he will not bring the
best price.
When the lamb weighs from 35 to sc
pounds, he is large enough, and, if fat,
will sell well. Dressing should be done
by an expert, for the appearance pre-
scented when offered for sale may make

RIDGE CULTURE.

As Means of Forcing Vegetables to an
Early Maturity.
A contributor to American Gardening
furnishes this report on experiments in
ridging the soil as means of forcing
vegetables to an early maturity. He
writes:
began with peas. The soil was
thrown into ridges three feet apart with
an ordinary pillow during the previous
autumn. AS soon as the tops of the
ridges were dry enough to work a
smoothing harrow was run over twice
and furrow four or five inches deep
made upon each ridge with Planet Jr.
cultivator. Peas were then sown by
hand and covered by the Planet Jr., two
ridges being also worked down to a
level and planted in the same manner
the same day. The spring was very
cold, with frequent frosts until June,
but not exceptionally wet. The peas
planted ON ridges were ready for pick
ing June 30, while those planted on the
'level" were not ready till June 80.
The variety was First and Best. This
was in the season Of 1895.
In 1896 the same experiment was
tried, but the season was warm from
the first (only one frost during April)
and the difference in the time of matur-
ing was only three days.
Ground for early potatoes was pre-
pared i'll the same manner as above de-
scribed for peas, Early Ohio being the
variety used. In the first season (1895)
they were cut down repeatedly by frost
and were failure In 1896 Early Ohio
was planted A to inches deep on ridges
8 feet apart, seed pieces IL inches apart
in the row. They were planted April
10. A weeder was run over the ground
every few days, but this merely kept
the tops of the ridges pulverized. Two
weeks after the potatoes were planted
the spaces between the rows were filled
nearly to the top with very strong
horse manure just from the stable. Rain
soon settled this, SO we were able te
run the weeder until the vines were toe
large to admit of it. They were allowed
to get perfectly ripe before being dug.
| The yield was at the rate of 300 bushels
per acre merchantable tubers, very few
small ones and remarkably free from
scab.
Early Ohio planted on good land in
the ordinary manner with level culture
ripened prematurely from blight, which
prevented an accurate estimate as tC
the difference in earliness The YIELD
was SO bushels per acre; many small
ones and exceedingly scabby. The seec
used was the same in both cases and
was free from scab SO far as the eye
could detect.
Experiments with sweet corn, cab
bages and tomatoes were also made
with ridge culture, and the contrast il
earliness was very marked, especially
with the sweet corn.

Angora Goats In the south.

have been breeding Angora goats for
IA years and find it a very profitable
business. l have barbed wire pasture
fence, with several division fences, all
made of ten of the best barbcd wires.
Still, the wolves will sometimes get in
by scratching through under the lowest
wire, but we generally get the wolves
now, before they do much damage, by
setting steel traps at such holes on both
sides of the fence. We generally fasten
three steel traps together and do not
fasten the traps to anything.
Early in the morning one of the boys
will go there with the dogs and gun.
The dogs will take the trail, and the
wolf is generally not more than 800 yards
away, often with more than one foot in
trap. IL traps are fastened, the wolf
or wildcat is more likely to break loose.
In very cold weather they are liable TO
bite their caught feet off or jerk loose
as they soon have no feeling in their
freezing feet. If they can travel, how
ever slow, with their dragging traps,
they are not likely to try to break loose
from the traps.
Most people grade up their fiocks by
buying fine rams. During the first five
or six years rams were very costly, from
$50 to 500 each, and fine ewes from
$40 to $50 each. One day man from
Europe looked at my Angoras, and he
was SO well pleased with one ram and
two or three of my finest ewes that he
said: ut is foolishness for you to buy
costly rams. You can raise the finest
rams and ewes that can be bought any
where He advised me how to manage
in breeding, and, sure enough, soon
improved my flock wonderfully. /
bought three more different fiocks and
kept only the best, continually dispos-
ing of the inferior ones The coarsest
goats in my flock now are much finer
than those for which | had to pay $40
and $50.
1t is a beautiful sight to see bunch
of about 500 Angoras coming home
about shutdown, with their long, silky
f1eeces. / have always sheared twice
each year-that is, i'll April and in Sep
TENDER If these nice animals are shorn
only once in year, they will soon look
ugly, because the long, silky hair will
become matted, and they will soon look
as ugly as scabby sheep. In kidding
time it is best to keep those ewes that
will soon bring kids in small pasture
separated from the flock If the weather
be cold and wet, they should have a
shelter. Dry, cold weather does not hurt
them. In hot days the little kids need
shade from the hot sun At first |
tried to make the young kids follow
their mothers with the flock, but soon
found that 1t was impossible to do that
The little kids were soon all hidden in
the high grass and bushes. After that /
followed the advice of older goat men,
who left the kids in the pen until they
were or weeks old During the past
three years L kept the little kids in a
separate small pasture, where they have
plenty of shade, water, green shrubbery,
weeds and young, tender herbs of vari-
Gus kinds. If allowed to follow the flock
too young, they will lie down and go to
sleep and be lost.-H 7. F., Tiger Mills.

Brains bigger Than Mans.

According to Professor Max Weber Of
Amsterdam, the only animals which
surpass man in the absolute weight Of
their brains are elephants and whales,
but there are several that rank ahead
Of him i'll the ratio of the brain weight
to the total weight of the body. All of
these, however, are comparatively small
animals. Among them are many mon
keys and certain members of the SPUR
rel and mouse families. No animal of
greater bodily size than man has brain
which is relatively as large as his. Up
on the whole, it seems that mans men
tai superiority is due rather to the quail
ity and organization than to the size of
his brain.
