In such a dwelling as the average
fiat of the north and west the pri-
vacy of home is reduced to a minimum.
The footsteps of the tenants, the roll
ing of their perambulators, the cries of
their children, the varied odors of their
breakfasts, lunches and dinners, are
omnipresent and not to be banished
even by mental science. If they are
unsteady inclined, the others must lis
ten perforce, and have no other redress
than to begin counter performances.
Some cheerful writer said, while a
man can sing he can work." but the
trouble often is that while he is sing
ing other people are unable to work.
Such forced participation in the lives
Of others is irritating and upsetting to
the nerves, and though we may be will
ing to weep with those who weep and
rejoice with those who rejoice we
would prefer to have some choice in
the matter.-New Orleans Times Dem

CliDped Oats.

In reply to al inquiry G. B. Lane of
the New Jersey experiment station says
that so called clipped oats" on the
market are oats, originally Of light
weight, which have been passed
through a machine that clips off the
tips, thus increasing the weight per
bushel. The process is not a new one,
but the proportion Of clipped oats on
the market has considerably increased
during the past few years. AS the
price Of oats is largely determined by
the weight per bushel. the process pays
we'll. Oats that are of good color, but
of light weight. may be increased in
weight several pounds per bushel by
clipping. They can thus be placed in a
higher class in the trade and command
a better price. 1t Is estimated that one
third of the oats used in New Jersey
are clipped.

Basalt Columns In Mexico.

There are columns of basalt in Mex
leo which may be regarded as one Of
the natural wonders of the world. They
may be e at Regla falls, and there
Alexander Won Humboldt saw and ad-
mired them when he took his famous
journey round the world. AS regular
and symmetrical these columns are as
though they had been fashioned by
human hands, and yet they are entirely
natural and of volcanic origin. They
are Of great height, and no one can see
them for the first time without hecom-
ing greatly impressed.
In Fingal's cave. Scotland, there are
columns of basalt somewhat similar to
these, and on st. Helena there are 9th
ers, though the latter, instead Of stand
ing erect, are piled together on the
ground and look like trunks Of trees.

Sacrificing Pastures.

There are many things that we do
not value until they are gone. and n
Of them is a good blue grass pasture,
says Stockman and Farmer. Some Of
those who plowed up their old sod last
year to get a corn crop to feed cattle
are already repenting. They have
neither the grass nor the corn, as the
cattle road to the corn market has
proved a very rough II A long es-
tablished blue grass pasture Is too are
and too good a thing to be sacrificed.
1t should be disturbed only because
there is no other way to avoid it and
farm proftably. One Of Jul greatest
needs in this country Is to know more
about pastures-how to get, to improve
and to keep them. Then we would bet
ter appreciate their value and not has
tily turn down something that it takes
q generation to bring back.

While lamb feeding in Colorado has
been heavily cut down for the present
on account of abnormal conditions, the
industry Is by no means permanently
injured, and with good prices the COM
ing spring we will see a general return
to the business. There are plenty Of
stock sheep being held throughout the
state, and the farmers and breeders
will not allow a shortage OF a crop for
q single yea to affect them for any
length of time. Practically most Of
the feeders who usually handle several
thousand Mexican sheep every winter
have quit the game. and as a result
barely 25 per cent Of last years num-
Der of fed sheep are being fitted for
market this season. The shortage of
alfalfa has been the chief factor that
brought about this state of affairs, but
the recent low prices paid at the mar
kets have a%ccentuated it to no little de-
gree. One prominent feeder recently
said that were he guaranteed SIS for his
lambs and could get his feeding stock
at 81 a head he could not afford to
feed. This is exaggerating the condi-
ton a little perhaps, but serves to DEM
Onstrate why feeders have discontinued
operations this winter.-Denver Field

Sheep ON the Farm.
A small flock of sheep can be profita-
bly, kept on any farm where sheep
killing dogs do not too much abound.
Where few, just as where there are
many kept, they should be Of some rec
ognized breed whose %proclivity is for
fine wool or 6ne mutton, or for both
wool and mutton, as the farmer may
choose. The dual purpose sheep will
generally prove the most satisfactory,
and there are such that will yield a
heavy fleece of good wool and leave a
carcass that will make from rs to 100
pounds of excellent mutton, which
when properly butchered ought to
bring from Sc to So. There is no live
stock, except goats, that can be grown
at so little cost as sheep, and there is
no animal hat exerts S % good an in

A welcome bit Of news is that the
British government is now prepared to
go ahead with its scheme of exporting
100000 head of heifers from Texas and
the southwest generally to South At
RIGA. 1t will be remembered, says
Breeders Gazette, that when the Boer
rebellion came to an end the British
government stated that it would sup
ply the stock wherewith to rehabilitate
the stock growing industry Of all South
Africa, the Beers to have good young
cows to go OH with. Agents were dis
patched to the American southwest to
look the situation over, with power to
act as they saw fit, but with instruc-
tons that all contracts entered into
should be subject to experimentation.
T~hereupon some 500 grade Hereford
and Shorthorn heifers were bought In
Texas at a figure which seemed high at
the time, it being almost equal to what
steers of the age would have realized.
All these heifers were in calf to regis
tered bulls of the breed Of which they
were grades. The 500 in calf heifers
were shipped from New Orleans to
Durham and by degrees driven up oun
try. Then sight was here lost of them
for months. Now comes the news that
the rest of the contract is to be filled
at once and that the cattle are not only
actually being shipped from Texas
points to New Orleans, but that the
British agents say there is no saying
how many more may be taken up to
100000 or 10000 head. The heifers,
mostly two-year-olds carrying first
calves, stood the journey to South Az
RIGA well, had their calves in good
shape and when the fat and luSty
youngsters began to career around the
authorities thought they were good
enough; hence they ordered the contract
completed. 1t is a good purchase if the
Texas herd masters can reasonably
supply 100000 high grade heifers with
put scrimping themselves. The price
allowed is f5 a head.
Feeders.
For a number of years feeders have
been paying a premium Of about 10
cents per hundredweight for dehorned
steers because they did that much, bet
ter in the feed lot. This year feeder
buyers are making a greater difference
thar ever between horned and hornless
cattle. In Omaha, which is at this sea-
o the greatest feeder market, they
are paying fully 25 cents per hundred
weight more for dehorned steers han
for others of the same quality. The
horned steer has about had his day in
the feed lot Of the skillful feeder, says
National Stockman. Naturally polled
or dehorned cattle are wanted. Some
feeders prefer n kind and some the
other, but none Of them wants horns.

Worked IA Problem While Asleep.

An Amsterdam banker once request
ed a professor of mathematics to work
out a very intricate and puzzling prob
len for him. The professor, thinking
the matter good exercise for the intel
lectual faculties of his pupils, men
toned it to them and requested them
to work out the enigma. One Of the
students, who had pondered deeply
over the intricate subject during the
day, retired to bed. Some time after
ward he arose. dressed, and, seating
himself at his desk, worked out the
problem accurately, covering sheets Of
paper with his calculations. He had
no recollection in the morning Of hav-
ing done 30.

The Essential Thing.

The primary class in Sunday school
was listening to a lesson on patience.
This, according to the Boston Herald,
was what came Of it, at least in the
minds Of the more literal minded chill
dren:
The topic had been carefully ex-
planned, and as an aid to understand
ing the teacher had given each pupil a
card bearing the picture of a boy fish
ing.
"Even pleasure" said she, requires
the exercise of patience. See the boy
fishing. He must sit and wait and
wait. He must be patient"
Having treated the subject very fully,
she began with the simplest, most
practical question:
"And now can any little boy tell me
what we need most when we GO fish.
ingT" The answer was shouted with
voice:
"Bait!'
