ROGUE.

For several years Washington has taken
a leading place among the cities where the
rejuvenated and moderniZed game of cro-
quet has been regularly played. Several
fine rogue" courts have been prepared
and on fair afternoons during the season
dozens Of players have assembled there to
take part IN what It's devotees claim to be
one Of the most fascinating of outdoor
sports. AS a result Of this devotion to the
game Washington has frequently held the
national championship and even now there
Is running a meet at Norwich, another
center Of rogue interest. with a Washing
tonian easily leading the field for first hon
ors. There are in competition in the three
divisions OF play in this tournament no less
than eleven Washingtonians fine show
ing out Of a total of 43 entries, and one
which Is not approached by any other city.
All of New England has only 81 entries.
This game appeals not alone to men Of
middle age, or past that point Of years.
The championship is usually held b.
comparatively young man. Yet the major
ity of the roquers are of an age at which
men most enjoy game which requires no
running and no violent exercise. In some
respects 1t compares with golf as to the
total of walking involved. and the force Of
the stroke Is approximately equal. But

A Busy Wall Street Season Ahead.

]. Pierpont Morgan returned today after
q tour In Europe covering several weeks
During his absence there has been no
lack of reports concerning his move
fnents and speeulations as to his errands.
Wherever he has gone the specter of con-
sOIidatiou has arisen He has been feted
by kings and emperors. has conferred with
the European captains of industry" and
has presumably not lost a single oppor-
tunity 10 extend his knowledge of the
commercial and financial conditions of the
old world. Whether ne Will now proceed
10 utilize that knowledge in his peculiar
manner by the formation Of a few new
trusts remains the problem OF the hour,
more important to many branches OF
American industry than the settlement of
the coal strike. IN which It Is expected he
may take hand Just TO keep in practice.
On the eve Of his arrival Wall street
gossip has been active with reports that
his return would cause an early bull
movement in the market. For several
weeks. in fact practically during Mr.. Nor
gan's European tour. the market has re-
mained sluggish. Some have attributed It's
condition to the uncertainty prevailing
among those financial circles which take
their cues from the Morgan establishment.
So marked Is the tendency nowadays to
attribute big things to this one man that
his absence from the country has been
accepted as the reason for what may be
no more than the normal midsummer dull
ness His return may be made a more or
less legitimate excuse for rapid stock fuc-
tuations- Almost any hook is good enough,
In Wall street parlance, to hang a lamb on

favor of golf between walking about an
inclosed space and trampng over widely
stretching links with the flavor of the
country in the nostrils On the other hand
roaUers prefer the f1neness of the play on
the smooth, level courts, which permit
strokes as delicate as those in billiards. In
reality the game as now played is very
close in character to the immortal table
game, save for the interpostion Of the
wickets and the establishment Of a set
course for the balls. The adoption Of the
elastic border has materially extended the
possibilities of the stroke ara added the
charm of combinations by means of cush-
ion caroms to the play. 1t is not remark
able under such circumstances that the
roquer soon becomes confirmed in his habit
and intensely partisan in his championship
of the sport as the best Of the time. Be-
tween this game and old-fashioned croquet,
played lumpy lawn with wide wickets
and iong-handled mallets, there is a gulf as
wide as half century affords In any other
department of human activity.

Sheep on the Farm.

Wool has almost ceased to be a fac
tor in the sheep industry, as farmers
have discovered that there is more
money in selling early lambs and fat
'wethers than to depend solely upon
wool as source of profit from sheep.
The fleece is simply by-product, and
to make sheep pay with the wool as the
principal source of revenue from the
flock. The majority Of farmers do not
have large focks, Is sheep being con-
sidered as above the average, and they
are kept largely because they are OF
valuable assistance on the farm in
consuming weeds and other waste ma
terials that possess no value. 1t is
well known that flock of sheep will

who would not be without them, as
they save labor and demand but little
attention. It has been frequently dem.
onstrated that from fields upon which
large flocks of sheep have been hur.
died the yieldes Of grain have been
COUPLED, due to the fertility added to
the soil by the sheep. Farmers who
give their attention to early lambs
and the production Of choice mutton
have found Southdown rams excellent
for the improvement Of the common
focks, as the Southdown is hardy, and
such sheep can be kept in larger flocks
than the Oxfords or Shropshires.
though the latter breeds are larger in
size than the Southdown. The pref
erence for the Southdown is also due
to the fact that the grades are excel
lent foragers and can subsist on
scanty lerbage compared with some
other breeds or crosses. Wherever
cattle are kept sheep can find also a
pace, as the sheep will clean up lands
upon which the cattle may leave much
that could be turned into profit. No
farmer, however, can expect the best
results from sheep without care; but
sheep require less attention than other
animals on the farm.-Philadelph

To Build Up a Trade.

There is never a glut of really fresh
eggs in the markets. No man who
sells eggs and wishes to build up a
trade that will stick to him can afford
to risk his reputation on one egg that
is little "off." The shell of the egg
stands between the producer and the
consumer, and when the shell is
broken the outcome either blasts a rep
utation or improves it. BY always
furnishing nice, clean, fresh, attrac-
tive looking eggs at the market or to
your private customers, your reputa-
ton for this kind of goods becomes es-
tablished, and it is worth to you from
two to five cents dozen more than
the market price. This, on several
hundred dozen, amounts to a goodly
sum to the producer
Do not hold the eggs until they be-
come stale, which process does not
take long to put in it's appearance
A really fresh egg is less than ten
days old, and they must be then kept
under good conditions, every spot or
stain removed as soon as gathered,
and placed in a cool and we'll ventil-
ated room. When shipped in a clean,
neat, attractive looking package, or
case, with your name on it, your repu-
Lation is assured.-S. j., in Maritime

Success in Fattening Lambs.

One of the essentials of success in
fattening lambs for market is to keep
them growing every day from birth.
To do this requires the difficult art of
feeding to cause loss of appetite. If
they are taught to eat a little dry bran
or few oats while still running with
the eve, they can usually be trusted
to eat as much as they wish without
much danger of their overlooking, but
care must be taken that no wet and
sour feed is left in their troughs, as
that causes a securing that takes Off
with the bran, or cracked corn with
the oats in small proportion, say one
part in five, about month before
marketing, and gradually increased
until they are eating all corn the last
week. Another important matter is to
sell when they are we'll fitted. After
any animal is we'll fattened no more
gain can be made excepting at cost
OF its value, and often they will actu-
ally shrink in weight during an extra
week of feeding. No prospective in
crease Of price will pay for this loss.
If lambs are likely to sell better at any
particular date, as July 4, or other holt
days, have them fat at that time, but
il they are ready two weeks earlier
sell them, and let the dealers keep
them in cold storage, where they will
not eat or lose in flesh. Plan also to
have the old ewes and the wethers
ready in fall or early winter, when
there is a good demand for them.
While the lamb that fattens at an early
age is usually the most profitable,
there are some late lambs and some
breeds that mature slowly that it may
be better to keep simply growing
through the fall and winter, and get fat
enough to sell as yearlings after they
have been shorn. If they produce six
or eight pounds of wool at first shear
ing this will add to the profit.
After the lambs come select those
ewes that do not bring good lambs or
that do not have milk enough for
them, to be fattened, only being eau
tious not to condemn one that fails
simply because she is shedding teeth
aEd cannot get food enough. Where
this is the case, separate her from the
others and give her a little bran with
a handful of oil meal every day, and
see il she and the lamb do not gain
on it. # they do she may yet prove
a good one.-American Cultivator.

Mango in Cattle.

1t gives the history of cattle mango in
the state, with illustrations: of affected
cattle and the mite causing the dis

the symptoms found in herds affected
with mango, quoting also a number
0f authors who have observed animals
affected in this country and in Europe.
The treatment is described at length,
giving the methods that were first
used, when this disease did not extend
over such large area, which usu-
ally consisted of hand applications of
1isinfectants. 1t also describes some
,f the popular remedies that were
used at that time, and gives the more
modern way Of treating the disease,
namely, by the construction of dipping
tanks and the use of various dips.
The bulletin gives the results of dip
ping with coal tar preparations, which
nave been used with satisfactory re-
suits on over 1000 head of cattle that
we're badly affected with mango. Fail
ures after thorough dippeing are ex-
planned as being due either to the solu-
ton not having been sufficiently
strong or to reinfection after treat
