SHEEP.

If you wish to improve your sheep, and
are at loss as to what breed to try, you
can not go much amiss in getting few
Shropshire. The suggestion will not
lead you much astray, in any event.
Poorly fattened sheep are poor prop
erty in the mutton market. Fit them
for the buyer before offering them.
Sheep bring in money from April to
August, often at season during which
many farmers have nothing to turn in
for current expenses.
Sheep can be made to exist through
the winter without grain. but if you
want them to come out in good shape
in the spring. and, above all, to drop
strong, thrifty lambs, do not try to see
how little they can live upon.
This country has not fully realized
the value of sheep in our agriculture, or
that it can be raised with larger pro-
portion of profits than other stock. We
are eating more sheep meat every year,
and we hardly begin to produce suffi-
cient wool for our own needs. The time
will surely come when we can conf.
IDENTIFY look for great future for this
industry.
During the month of May over 100000
head of sheep came to the Chicago mar
ket. and prices for the best grades con,
tinusllY improved. The farmers who
get in line to meet the demand for the
best can not make any mistake

The Cultivation of Music in the Home


One enters house arranged with ex-
quisite care, and both artistic and home
like in its atmosphere. The one false
note in the whole arrangements is in the
drsping of the piano-an upright-which
is swathed in embroideries and covered
with porcelains until it has positively
lost all semblance to it's original form,
and is ridiculously unfit for use. Many
of the so-called mushrooms are ruined
by total disregard of acoustic, heavy
curtains. carpets. ana portiers breaking
and mufhing the sounds; and there are
almost always far too great number Of
ornaments scattered about. Consider
ing that many who are in the posses
sion of wealth pique themselves on their
prominence as patrons of music, or on
bsing considered average performers
from the amateur stand point. it is ex-
traordinary how very seldom an appro.
pirate music room is to be found.-Har-
per's Bazaar.

Bottles, Bells and Tumbler- Onicons.

If you are musical you will enjoy
nothing more than "a chime of bottle
bells,' which, while it may sound very
difficult. is very easily arranged. Your
apparatus will consist of two chairs. two
long poles or sticks, and eighteen bot
ties. The chairs must be placed the
length of the sticks apart, back to back;
upon each stick place nine bottles sus-
pended by string tied about the neck
with loop big enough to slip over the
stick. Place one stick with each end
resting on the seats of the chairs, and
the other resting on the top of the backs.
For hammer almost any stick will do
to beat with. For quick tunes two sticks
should be used. Ii the bottles are all
of the came shape and size, they can be
tuned to produce all the notes of the
scale by pouring water into them-the
more water the lower the note; or differ
emily shaped bottles can be used to fill
the places when the correct note cannot
be produced. 1t is not possible to tell
just how much water to use, for it var
les with the thickness of the glass. You
may have as many bottles as you like
and there may be two players. one on
each side.
Another way of producing music
where water is used to vary the tone is
by taking thin glass tumblers, filling
them as much or as little as may be
needed, and then making the sound by
wetting the finger and running it around
the rim of the glass with considerable
pressure. People who are skillful with
this, like those who play upon pieces of
wood or bars of iron or bells. are often
more sought after, because of the novel
ty, than performers on regular instru.
ments.-Nel0 York Recorder.

man fit to sell groceries, The rest
were all so polite-at first, | think
because 1 was a woman, but after
wards they really seemed to like to
order from me, and as l have had
practical experience with SO much of
the goods that you carry, could add
my knowledge to what you had told
me, and so my orders grew amazing
ly."
Mr.. Wilson was enthusiastic over
his wife's success, and as he praised
her unstintedly, the thought went
through his mind that when rosy
little woman, with bright eyes and
dimple-cleft chin, held the order
book, a merchant would need some
of the adamant in his nature to keep
his orders from growing.
During the weeks that he was con-
fined to the house, Mrs. Wilson came
and went over his route, with the re-
suit that when he could take his
place again, the firm for which he
worked sent an offer of steady en-
ployment to M. A. Wilson, the non
committal name that Mr.. Wilson's
supply had signed to her orders,
with the astonishing information that
she was "just the kind of a man they
had been wanting"
Did she goa No; because, you
see, this happened in real life, where
duty and poetic justice do not go
hand in hand. She went back to her
home and babies, to the remodeling
of old clothes, and the cooking of
groceries instead of the selling of
them.
Il might be able to hire house
keeper" said she, "but never a
mother, nor an economizer. 1t takes
business judgment to be house
keeper, wife, mother, nurse, dress
maker and general economizer, all in
one, just as it does to run govern
ment, or to sell groceries"
you're right, Chick" said Mr..
Wilson, approvingly, "and great
deal more, 1 think, for here is
housekepper who can sell groceries,
and here is a salesman who couldn't
be housekeeper. And you deserve
a salary for your work, just as do for
mine, so hereafter half the income of
this family is your own, and I'm
ashamed that l had to be brought to
a proper sense of the value of your
work by such an experience as this,
though l must say that / deserved it
ALL"
Which was great deal for Mr..
Wilson to say, and altogether, quite
the most satisfactory thing, also from
Mrs. Wilson's point of view.-Wons-
ans Journal.

HORSES.

We have great many horses in this

done in this country, and we fancy it
will not be SO long as the animal shows
its especially fitness for the cultivating
of our sugar, cotton and corn lands.
1t is folly to put off weaving the colt
after he is six months old. Often earlier
than this it can be separated from its
mother, if late offspring. Have them
independent feeders before cold weather
sets in. and save yourself the usual an
noyance through the long winter.
When prices rule high there may be
some margin in growing almost any sort
of an animal, but when the opposite is
the case, the poor stock goes for song,

WHAT DO YOU TALK ABOUT2

Fathers and mothers, what are the
special subjects of conversation in your
homes? A little girl shocked her ia
ther few days since by hurrying to the
door for the morning paper 80 as to have
an opportunity ito read the rest of that
murder case," so she said. She had
heard it discussed at the table the night
before.
1t is appall ing to think of the terrible
record of crimes in only one week. But
don't talk about them in the children's
hearing. Some people seem to delight
in going into all the horrible details con-
nected with a crime; they dwell upon
the evidence of this clue and that appar-
emit mystery until the young people be.
come 80 excited and curious that they,
too hurry for the papers to read the
sensational accounts.
1t is deplorable thing that so much
publicity is given to the details of crime
and so much space in the daily papers
devoted to it.
Try to lead the thoughts away from
the great evils of the world and talk of
the good deeds, the uplifting helps that
the good people are trying to give. Talk
of sweet and pleasant things, and instill
the principles Of right living into the
the young hearts committed to your
care. Cultivate happy manner and
cheerful disposition. We all know hcv
quickly the home thermometer S1e,
down when father or mother seems de.
pressed or troubled. Let the childr
grow up in an atmosphere of "air sweet
and pleasant" as if dwelling on the
border lands of the beautiful country
where the green pastures are and the
still waters" and where he leadeth his
beloved ones.
We do not rightly consider oftentimes
what our influence as parents is. To the
child, father and mother are the best
people in the world; their opinions are
taken for very truth; what father and
mother say must be 80.
Make the prominent subjects of con-
versation in the home those that are of
vital importance in forming Christian,
upright, straightforward character

POULTRY.

For your own convenience. train the
chicks to regular habits. They are for
tunats to have the run Of an orchard or
of the fields, but they will soon learn to
know what time you expect them at
home. The farm is the ideal place for
raising chickens.
Ten to one the stock on our farm has
run out; it wants new blood. There is
no surer means for destroying constitu-
tions in the flock than neglect to make
regular use of outside blood.
Cholera in the fowl or the hog is
thing not very we'll understood. 1t
doubtless often results from weakened
constitutions. We cannot deny that we
have but little of it when we fight filth
as we do the hawks which haunt the
hennery.
1t has been said that all "bad eggs"
are not spoiled" ores. The food given
hens has much to do with the flavor and
edible quality of the egge.
Every breed has its own virtues, and
is good for some special end, but gen.
eral purpose fowl, all things considered,
is the best to be had. Beauty, with
many, is the very first consideration, and
perhaps too often.
Even when the chicks are but two
months old the sexes should be separ-
ated and the cocks put by themselves
where they may have large yard and
have nothing to do but to thrive and to
get ready for market day.
Too many of our fiocks are often nom
producers, consuming the profits of
those which have been busy. There is
way to counteract this, and the way
should be found. Any one may succeed
who will, and there is nothing surer in
poultry raising.

How To Examine a Watch.

To one who has never studied the
mechanism of a watch, its handspring
the balance wheel is a mere piece or
metal. He may have looked at the face
of the watch, and while he admires the
motions of its hands and the time it
keeps, he may have wondered in id'e
amazement as to the character of the
machinery which is concealed within.
Take it to pieces and show him each
part separately-he will recognize
neither design nor adaptation nor rela.
ton between them; but put them to-
gether, set them to work, point out the
office of each spring, wheel. and cog. ex-
plain their movements, and then chow
him the result. Now he perceives that
it is all one design-that notwithstand.
