NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

Don't think of using grade rams.
Pedigreed animals only can be depend
ed on for satisfactory results.
Keep a trough under cover in the
sheep yard pastures and in it put mix
ture of salt and sulphur. This will
keep off ticks.
Dogs do not like too much noise when
they are hunting sheep. Put one good
rafting bell on every twentieth sheep
or one on every ten is better.
The day of the big. heavy-feeding
sheep seems to have passed, not to re-
turn, and the demand for younger
muttons is a steadily growing one
The vitality of the flock is sometimes
impaired by breeding immature ewes.
The best plan is not to have the eve
drop her first lamb until about two
years old.
Do not change feed suddenly, espe-
cially from dry feed to pasture There
is always loss of condition for a few
days following and sudden change.
Keep up the regular feed until the flock
have become accustomed to the grass.
Western Plowman.

than the Russian thistle. The plant
was introduced into this country from
Europe previous to 1878, as it was first
noticed in that year in Philadelphia.
It is probable that it had been growing
in out-of-the-way places for some years
before being noticed. Since that time
1t has spread over much of the coun-
try between the two oceans. 1t bears
numerous seeds, the seed pods contain
ing frequently 100 seeds each. AS the
plants are very numerous on each plant,
the number of seeds single plant may
bear is almost beyond calculation.
Prof. James Fletcher, of Canada, by
careful calculation came to the conclu-
sion that one plant with which he came
in contact contained not less than l.
5O0,O seeds. The pods are round and
long and stand out almost at right an
giles to the stem on which they are
borne.
The means of eradication is to pillow
under or cut down with sharp hoe
before the seeds have ripened enough
to grow. This must be early, for seeds
will sprout and grow while yet very
immature. The plant is easily killed
when cut off at the roots, while its
seeds are yet uniformed. A man can
eradicate large area of it in a single
day. Being an annual, it will not grow
again from the root.-Farmers' Review.

IMPROVING THE BEES.
1t Can BE Done systematically Where
Only the Right Kind of Queens
Is RaiAed.

One would naturally suppose that
there is but little if any difference in
bees, and that one hive of bees was just
as good as another. More particularly
would this supposition exist when the
bees are of the same variety or race.
While it is true that certain races of
bees, as a whole, are much superior
to other races, yet it is also a
fact that some colonies of any race are
far superior to other colonies. AS it
is now conceded that the Italian bees
are superior to all other races as a
whole, it is also fact that we not only
find some colonies of this variety in any
apiary, but we can find whole apiaries
considerably in advance of others in
usefulness. The expert apiarist under
stands this fully, and knows it is
brought about by careful breeding.
The breeder of fine stock of any kind
selects his best specimens to breed
from. and therefore improves his herd.
Now the apiarist is not behind in the
least in this respect, but selects his best
stock in breeding and makes as rapid
strides in this direction as anybody.
The principal point in breeding bees
centers upon the queen. The apiarist
has under his control the breeding of
queens and can rear them from any
other queen he has in his apiary. but
he cannot control her matings with the
male bee, as this is beyond his reason.
AS it is well known that the queen is
the only female bee in the hive, and
lays all the eggs that produce each and
every bee therein, hence, to change the
entire stock of the hive it is only nee
essary to introduce a new queen to the
colony. Two colonies of bees having
the same traits of character, markings,
etc., cannot be found, but when all are
Matched from eggs of the same queen
they will have peculiarities of their
own, as colony, not found in another
For example, some colonies are more
industrious and will store more honey
than others, even with less number
of bees. Some are cross, and some gen.
tie. Some are robbers and some are
good citizens. Some incline to swarm,
others do not under the same condi-
tons. Some breed more rapidly and be-
come very strong in numbers, while
others do not attain great strength.
Some are good comb honey producers,
while others are better at filling the
extractor. These are but a few of the
numerous different characteristics
found in bees, hence the breeds may
rapidly develop and attain to marked
degree, in a short time, too, any of these
points sought fora. H. Duff, in
Journal of Agriculture.

closed portion be made eight feet wide,
each shed will have a width of six feet.
BY making the roof-angel an exact
right angle, the spread will be about
three feet greater and the ground floor
considerably increased. In any case,
the house should be set on q wall of
brick or stone not less than one foot
high, and two feet would be better.
The sheds should be closed in the
rear and lighted by windows.
If well seasoned rabbetted boards
be used, the roof will need no other
covering.
Doors for entrance to the house are
at the sides, just inside the open end

The Importance of Variety

When the flock has received no grain
but corn the hens soon begin to refuse
it. This may be particularly noticed if
small quantity of oats or wheat be
thrown before them. They will at once
eagerly seize the grains of oats and
wheat, leaving the corn untouched.
This indicates that the hens require
something else than that which they
derive from the corn, such as the phos-
pilates or nitrogen. After feeding oats
OF wheat awhile the hens will leave
those grains and eat largely of corn.
The proper method, then, is to keep a
variety, using corn as a portion of the
ration in winter. but emitting it in
the summer. Among the grains we
may mention wheat, corn, oats, barley
and buckwheat, the best results being
obtained when they are changed from
one to the other occasionally.-Farm

TUMBLING MUSTARD.
A Destructive Weed which Was First
Noticed In the United States
Twenty-Five Years Ago.

We illustrate tumbling mustard,
known scientifically as Sisymbrium AL
tissimum. This is one of the plants
that have already obtained too great
a foothold in this country for us to
hope to exterminate it. Tumbling mus
tard is called so from the fact that when
it is ripe it breaks off and is blown
along the ground by the wind. The
rounded shape of the plant makes this
characteristic of great value, as to the
propagation and dissemination of the
plant, as it is said to travel even faster

The Coming shirt-wais,.

Waists are shirt-like in their plain
ness, though some are made fanciful
with the addition of dressy collars and
revers. Linen collars are worn, as well
as those of plain ribbon, which merely
cross in the back and lap over in the
front, where they are held with small
lace pins. Leather belts are seen more
with the shirt waists than are the fancy
ones of last year-Woman's Home
