A Score Of Vessels Thrown Upon the
Beaches and Several Men Drowned.
Boston, Nov. 27.-A dozen or more
coasting vessels Were driven ashore In
Boston harbor during the blizzard of
last night and this morning and the
great ocean steamer Ohio OF the Wilson
line, was torn from her moorings and
driven high and dry on Spectacle ISL
and. Schooners and coal barges, with
two onchors out and every reason to
expect a safe weathering OF the gale
were dragged from their moorings and
hurled against pier heads. dashed on
islands and rocks or sunk outright.
Fortunately. the greater portion of
the coasting fleet was securely tied up
at the wharves. The schooners end
barges anchored IN the lower bay bore
the brunt OF the storm.
Anchored at quarantine was the VIII
son liner Ohio. a great four-masted
cargo boat, just In from Hull. England
She had only q small cargo on board
and her sides being high out OF the
water. offered a large surface to the
wind. The swift tide prevented the ves-
sci from pointing her nose into the wind
and after a fierce battle for hours her
cables gradually gave way and she ran
upon the beach of Spectacle island.
where she now lies high and dry. AS
the tide was very high when the Ohio
went ashore the work of hauling her
of is likely to be difficult The Ohio
lies out about a mile from the place of
the Venetian wreck.
Just above Spectacle island is Thomp-
sons island. and on the beach are three
down-east lumbermen, with the
Watchman, Fred +. Emerson. $. T..
Raphine (British) and vessel be-
lieved to be the Virginia. II is likely
that they viii be saved without serious
damage. The schooners John s. Ames
and Lizzie Dias are also ashore at Fort
Warren.
So far as known. there were no lives
lost from any of the above schooners.
although IL is said two men were
washed overheard from the Virginia.
No effort was made this afternoon to
reach the unknown schooners ashore
at Moonhead or another up Quincy bay
on the flats or the Atlantic.
Farther out in the bay the casualties
began with the sinking OF at least one.
II not two, coal barges, and the loss of
the crew of each. The tug Cumberland
came In early last evening with two
barges, and one of them. belonging TO
the Consolidated Coal company. broke
away from The tug. and striking Hunts
ledge sank with all four of her crew.
Another barge belonging to the sta
pie Coal company is reported to have
sunk off Long Island head. and her
crew of four men lost. The schooner
Abel F. Babcock, from Philadelphia, Is
to have foundered with her
crew OF seven men, outside of Boston
Light.
Two other coal barges are ashore at
Galloupe's island. but 1t is likely that
the crew of neither has been lost. as
the vessels appear to be in a compare
lively safe place.
The loss by the storm in and about
this city will amount to over $4,000

They are excellent layers, averaging
from 100 to 1870 eggs each in season,
They are nonsetters, hardy, easily
raised, and the earliest in maturing Of
any ducks, Other ducks are judged for
practical qualities by the Picking.
The STANDARDIZED Picking has a long,
finely-formed head, bill Of medium
size, of a deep yellow color, that is per-
fectly free from any mark or color
other than yellow The color of the bill
is very important for exhibition birds,
and 1t is not infrequent that one of the
best ducks in showroom is disqualified
for having a faint tracing Of black in
the bill. The eyes are Of deep leaden-
blue color. The neck of a Peking
should be neatly curved; in the drake
1T should be large and rather long, while
that of the duck is of medium length.
The back is long and broad; breast is
round, full, and very prominent. The
body is long and deep, and the standard
gives for adult birds body approach
ing the outlines of paralleogram.
The wings are short, carried closely and
smoothly against the body. The birds
cannot sustain flight, two-foot fenc-
ing being ample to restrain them in
an inclousure. The tail is erect, more
so than in any other specimen. The
curled feathers in the tail Of the drake
are hard and stiff. The thighs are
short and large; shanks short and
strong, and in color are reddish
orange; toes straight, connected by
web, and reddish orange in color. The
plumage is downy, and Of faint
creamy white throughout. Recently
it has been noticed that preference in
the showroom is being given to birds Of
whittier plumage, The breeders are Sc
Letting as their show birds those that
have the snow-whte plumage instead
Of the creamy white, as given in the
standard.
The standard weight of the adult
drake is pounds; adult duck, pounds;
young drake, 7 pounds, and young
duck, G pounds.-Bulletin United States

In the First Requisite.
To make sheep most profitable on the
ordinary farm none should be kept but
what can be sheltered comfortably and
fed so as to keep them in thrifty con-
ditiou, All above this number should
be fattened and marketed In good sea.
SON The flock kept for profit should
consist largely of young, thrifty ewes
that can be depended upon to bring N
good lamb, as well as to grow a good
fleece of WOOL In preparing for mar
ket 1t will pay to take considerable
pains TO fatten well, as the increase In
price with the heavier weight will re-
turn good profit for the feed and la
Dor.
The time required to fatten sheep de-
ponds considerably upon their age and
condition at the time Of commencing to
feed. Old ewes that have passed their
prime require longer period of feed
Ing than young, vigorous sheep that
are In thrifty condition.
In fattenlng old sheep II is nearly
always best to feed ground grain, aa
usually they have poor teeth.
Glover hay that has been cut In good
season, properly cured and stored away
lie the best forage. Next to this Is millet,
but good cornfodder and unthreshed
oats can be used to good advantage in
making up variety.

one part wheat bran, to which little
oil meal has been added, makes one Of
the best ratlons that can be given TO fat
tenlng sheep, Corn or cornmeal should
be made the principal ration, yet some
thing OF variety should be given In
order to maintain good appetite,
Gradually increase the ration until
they are given all that they will eat
up clean, taking care at all times not to
overfeed.
OF all stock usually kept on the farm,
sheep are most easily and most serious
ly injured by overlooking; often they
will require four or five days to over
come the effect OF one overfeed with
care In feeding, keeping them on full
feed, with a good fattenlng ration,
sheep can be fattcd in six weeks.
But to fatten most rapidly they must
have dry, comfortable quarters and be
kept quiet. They should be fed regular
ly, have all the water they can drink
and have access to salt. Have fiat-bot-
toned. shallow troughs In which to feed
grain; these are better than the w.
shaped, for the reason that the grain
cannot be punched so easily, and each
sheep has better opportunity Of sccur-
ing n share. Racks or hangers should
also be provided in order to avoid waste.
With sheep, as with all other stock, IL
is quite an item to lessen the cost as
much as possible, Market as soon MS
fully ready. 1t is no advantage to feed
after the sheep are ready.-st. Louis

BEET SUGAR MAKING.
Process by Which Farmers May Pro-
duce the Article.

Process by which Farmers May Pro-
duce the Article.
In reply to an appeal from the Epit-
omist Publishing company of Indianap-
oils asking for some process by which
farmers may produce beet sugar at
home in a small way for their own use
DR.. II, N. Wiley, chief chemist of the
United States department of agrlcul-
ture at Washington, expresses his views
as follows: The production Of a crude
beet sugar in small way is an extreme
ly simple process. Any farmer who is
equipped with cider mill for rasp-
ing the beets, cider press for express
ing the juice and an evaporator suitable
for making sorghum molasses can pro-
duce crude beet sugar. AS rule this
sugar will not be very palatabIe, because
1t is not refined and contains the salts
and bitter principles which make raw
beet sugar and beet molasses as a rule
unfit for table use. 1t will be, however
an interesting object lesson to our
farmers to demonstrate the fact that
the sugar beet itself contains sugar, and
that the latter can be made in the crude
way have mentioned above.
In this way the making of sugar in
small way by farmers may prove
stimulus TO the industry and do great
good. Farmers, however, should not
be deceived by the expectation Of being
able TO make their sugar in a successful
way commercially. The successful and
profitable manufacture of sugar can
only be accomplished in expensive fac
tories, equipped with all the appliances
necessary to make pure refined sugar.
Only the pure refined beet sugar can
ever become an article Of commerce. In
this the beet differs from the sugar
cane, because the latter will give q
sugar which. even In the crude state. Is
palatable and marketable; In fact,
many people prefer crude cane sugar
to the refined article on account of its
containing the aromatic principles of
the cane, which give it an odor and fla
vor very acceptable TO most palates.
trust that any of your readers who may
undertake the manufacture of beet
sugar in the crude way have men
toned above may do so only from the
point of view indicated, and not with
the expectation Of making it CONNER
cial success.
