Loss OF sheep IN AnstrnlIa

A letter to Bradstreet's from Mel
bourne. Australia. says:
The terrible drought that during the
last five years has devastated the CEN
trail and western portions of South
Wales is not yet broken. The losses,
are appalling. the number of sheep in
the colony having fallen within the
last seven years from about 62,000,000
to about 100000. the natural in
crease also being lost. 1t will require
several good years in succession to re-
pair the damage. The districts prin-
cipally affected have almost literally
become desert, large masses of sand
shifting from point to point, according.
to the prevailing wind. Boundaries.
are in many cases obliterated; dams
and tanks, constructed at great eX-
pense, are choked up and frequently
buried. The sheep and the rabbits, in
their last extremity, have eaten the
roots OF nearly all the natural vegeta-
ton. Doubtless the climatic influences
will once more become favorable and
for a few years 'resettlement will pro-
coed. But the truth is forcing itself
upon the judgment OF capitalists in
terested in squatting, that the climate
of the central districts of Australia is
too precarious to justify outlay, and
great extent of country is likely to be
abandoned. But the wide coastal dis
tricts of the continent OF Australia
will, as they are improved, more than
make amends for the recession from
r{I no
enlargement fer permanent settlement
Notwithstanding the losses of sheep in
New South Wales, the total of the
Australasian focks shows a slight in
crease as compared with ten years ago.
At the close of 1883 the total was esti-
mated at about 100000, and three
years later at about 124,500,000 1t is
now about 100.00.O00.
Owing to the effects OF the drought
the aggregate annual wool clip has
fallen off. For the year 1S94-95 Qrom
July l to. June 3O) the total quantity
shipped from the Australasian colonies
was 1851 500 bales. Last season
QS97-9S) the total was 1,7lS,3o0 bales.
and 1t is estimated that for the current
season, to close June 80 next, the total
will be 100000 bales. A falling of OF
four years in succession, especially in
pure merino sheep, has, however,
gradually relieved the consuming mar
kets, which were somewhat congested
with stock, and prices have been stead
lily rising Of late. 1t is probable, there
fore, that the net return TO the Aus
tralasian sheep farmers this season
will be G2,OOO,0OO to 100000 greater
than last season, so that increased
value will compensate for diminished
quantity.
The frozen-meat trade. an adjunct
OF the pastoral industry, has been well
maintained, BIT when the drought is
thoroughly broken the demand for
sheep for restocking purposes will ad-
versely affect the Australian portion
Of the frozen-mutton trade for a time,

to progress. The export Of frozen beef
from Queensland is likely TO increase.

War Weapons from Surgical Stand
point.
The medical journals abroad pub
lish the results of some recent expert
ments with the new automatic revolv-
er, which is being adopted by nearly
all European governments. The ex-
periments in question were made on
pine wood, on plates of iron, on a liv-
ing horse, and a portion of human
corpses, at distances varying from II
to $50 yards, there being, however, lit
tie difference between the effects on
living and on dead material. The
hole is from five to seven MILNE
tres in size, and decreases with the
increase in distance, the aperture Of
exit being, however, slightly larger
than that of the entrance. 1t seems
that the effect of this weapon on the
long, hollow bones was exactly SINH
lar to that of the German infantry
rifle at three thousand to six thousand
feet-the bone was splintered in every
jectile remain in the bone, the track OF
the bullet invariably forming a smooth
channel, without SCATTERING before the
bone, and without bony debris, while
in the event OF. bullet striking the
skull 1t invariably shattered the latter.
AS to penetrative power, the projectile
at thirty to sixty feet passed through
two human trunks and only stuck In
the third, went through pine wood six
teen inches thick, and three iron
plates each two millimeters thick.

strawberry Lemonade.

Here is a delicious drink with which
to cool the palate these warm days.
Take q quart of thoroughly strained
Juice from stewed strawberries. When
cool pour into a stone pitcher and add
this mixture: One cupful of crushed
peaches. half cupful of lemon Juice
a cupful of finely chopped pineapple
meat, pulverized sugar to taste and a
liberal supply OF cracked ice. Stir
in thoroughly with the strawberry
Juice and fill the pitcher with vichy or
plain ice water. This is a new drink
and one that is very refreshing.

Potash, as a Constituent of fertillz-
ers. exists in a number OF forms, but
chiefly as Chord of muriate and as
sulphate. All forms are freely soluble
in water and are believed to be near
ly, If not quite, equally available, but
it has been found that the Chords
may injuriously affect the quality of
tobacco, potatoes, and certain other
crops. The chief sources OF potash
are the potash salts from Stassfurt,

Sheep Losses on the Ranges.-Some
of the stock journals are publishing
narrowing tales of sheep losses on the
range. While it is true that few Sec

very light losses indeed. Some of the
statements made are so grossly ex-
aggerated as to merit no attention
whatever. Most of the range wool

Thinning Orchard Fruits.-Whether
or not it pays to thin the fruit of an
orchard, everyone agrees that with a
few trees 1t is advantageous to thin
an cverburdened crop down to a rea-
sonable number of choice fruits. In
an experiment reported by the depart
ment of agriculture, thinning was
found to increase the total yield and
to decrease rot. The thinning was
practiced with apples, peaches and
plums. early thinning giving the most
practical results. 1t was concluded
that it pays best to commence work OF
this kind Immediately after the fruit
has set.
