DIDN'T MARRY THE COOK.
Luncher in Love with Pie Wanted
to Secure the Maker
Thereof.

claimed the tall, lank. easterner standing
before the lunch counter, as he put away
his third portion, when the train stopped
Is minutes for refreshments at little
station in the far west. Let me have
another piece of that apple pie, waiter.
It's all right, you can bet!" he drawled,
with feeling of deep satisfaction.
After he had disposed of the fourth
slice, says the New York Times, the New
Highlander turned to the waiter and said:
Say, boss, that was the best pie I've
eaten since left home. 1 swore I'd
never get married. But, by gosh! anyone
that can make pie like that can be my
wife. Bring; on the cook, and, by Heavens!
LII marry her."
"Do you mean it," asked the waiter,
with twinkle in his eye.
Every word of it, answered the pie
emf husiast.
The waiter disappeared into the kitchen,
returning a minute later leading slant
eyed and pig-tailed Chinaman with a
bland smile upon his face. "This is the
cook, boss,' he said. Its up to YOU"
: Amid the roar Of laughter from the
other passengers the poor New Highlander
rushed back to the train.

FEEDING WESTERN LAMBS.
Suggestions by an Eastern stockman
". for Profitable Rearing Of Lambs
for Meat,

wish to give some facts about tho
INSIDE of an industry new to this coun-
try and in which are the least possible
risks, with the hope of Interesting cap
italists. e..
I believe, writes W. l. Armstrong, OF
New Jersey, in the Country Gentleman.
L may claim to be the original advo-
cate Of the English system of sheep
farming as suited to the American soil
and climate. My views in this branch
of farming have been supported by the
foremost authorities in this country.
My remarks refer to a system Of feed
ing, etc., which will result in the de-
velopment of thick, lean, juicy mutt
ton carcass Of finest quality and d.
gestibility, having a peculiar turnipy
flavor, pleasing to the palate, the epi-
cures delight.
The questions may be asked: WHAT
are the requirements? Will the cost
exceed present western systems Of
feeding? How can the sheep be pro-
cured?
Ordinary farm land, about one-third
of the farm or farms, should be plant
ed with turnips, yielding 10 to 20 tons
per acre, according to quality of the
soil, costing about so cents per ton to
grow. Roots are the mainstay, about
Is pounds each day per head being fed.
with q very small quantity of hay, also
bran, peas, linseed and cotton cake,
or 0n ov.f ~
estimating one pint or so each day per
head, with about two quarts Of hay
chaff, possibly little water and rock
salt Movable fences are necessary to
enclose the flock in q new patch of
roots each day, passing over the field
bit by bit, leaving the land richly but
tered with humus.
The corn in the west is cheaper than
are the above-named mixed feeds east,
but the turnips, which play so impor-
tant part, will fully make good on
the side of economy. Feeding sheep
on arabic land affords an additional
item Of return equal to many tons OF
city manure per acre, enriching the de-
pleted soil and saving expensive ferfil-
izer bills. The English grow their fine
quality mailing barley after sheep, and
it may yet be discovered that finer
quality of tobacco can be grown in this
country after such a preparation.
Western lambs can be bought in the
Buffalo market or shipred direct from
the west, costing about three dollars
per head.
The feeding period may range over
two to three months, during which
time the animal will thicken and grow.

THE LIVE STOCK.

Whatever you may feed your horse,
feed judiciously and regularly. Use
system. .s
While 1t is always an item to feed
we'll, young pigs may easily be stunted
by overlooking.
Keep breeding sows. by themselves,
and feed them according to the de-
mands of the condition.
Hogs furnish one of the best me-
diums for marketing the bulky prod
ucts of the farm in 4 concentrated
shape.
When stabbed for the noon feed, it is
comforting and cooling to the tired,
sweating horse to be relieved Of all
harness.
It is the hogs that make the best
growth in the shortest time and upon
the smallest amount of food that re-
turn the best profit.
A tablespoonful of copper sulphate
dissolved in hot water and given with
a gallon of milk to the brood SOW will
stop scours in little pigs.
Owners of waste, brushy land would
ind flock Of Angora goats very
valuable acquisition. They are money
makers as we'll as land clearers.
In selecting a young animal for
breeding purposes one with gentle
and tractable disposltiop should be
chosen as nearly as can be judged.

CARE OF NAMES AND TAILS
Some Valuable Suggestions for the
Improvement in Appearance
= of the Horse.

In response to an inquiry as to
what to do to improve rough, uneven
and unsightly names and tails, lead
ing horse authority gives its readers
the following suggestions:
Cleanliness is the first thing to be
looked after. II dirt is suffered to &C.
cumulate at the roots of the long hair
the horse will rub and destroy 1t.
Therefore, good, honest soap and
water is a mighty aid to keep names
and tails looking well. A little sheep
dipzenoleum is excellent, used period
ically at the roots of the long hair
will stimulate growth measurably
and kill or repel vermin that may have
found or seek a lodgment. When a
horse is rubbing his tail, which he al
ways is when anything is wrong, the
first thing to be done is to discover the
cause. Then apply plentifully soap and
water and the solution described. One
part Of the dip in so parts Of warm wa
ter is right as to strength. Then the
name and tail should Be kept clean by
the use of comb and brush and more or
less frequent washing. The long hair
should be dried as we'll as possible after
each securing, and when the dip solu-
ton is applied there is no need to slop
it over so that it runs down or away
from the skin where it is needed. It
should be rubbed in briskly for few
moments. The name and tail should be
handled gently. 1t is very easy to tear
out great quantities of the long hair
with a common currycomb, and in that
very way much damage is done. A cur
rycomb should never be used on q
name or tail. Use the comb specially
designed for the purpose. The tail
should never be plated to make it look
crink1y. To plat it is to break of the
hair and in time to spoil the looks Of the
tail"

RELIGIOUS WORKERS.

The Rev. (. H. Marshall, pastor of
st. Barnabas' Episcopal church, of
Denver, Colo, for 81 years, has
oaiciated at 5000 baptisms, $500
funerals and LOO weddings. q
A man 50 years old. who, by reason
of his lineage and age, has been the
recognized head of the Confucianists in
the part of Korea where the Presbyter-
ian mission las been holding evange-
listic services, has now accepted Chris
tianity. His son has long been q
Christian and a church leader.
Lord Radstock, known as the
preacher Peer" often delivers re-
ligious addresses both in London and
the provinces. He actually founded in
Russia the sect known as the Pash-
koffski, which may be best described
IS synonymous with Bib.c Christians,
but the holy synod drove him out of
Russia. Id 50 49,
Rev. o. II. E. Rauch, pastor of the
Reformed church, StrOudsburg, Pa,
is an earnest worker among the young
people Of that place. Some of them,
members Of his church, proposed to
give minstrel show and Mr.. Rauch
cordially Endorsed the idea. More than
that, he wrote some of the gags" and
himself acted as middle man." The
show was q great success.
Rev. ]. c. Simmons the pioneer of
the southern Methodist church on the
Pacific coast, has begun his auto
biography. DR.. Simmons went to Cali
fornia in february, 1852, and is the
only man active in church work who
was present at the organization Of
/ the Methodist Episcopal church south
on the coast. He Is Is years Of age
and has been preaching for 81 years.
Mr.. John Wanamaker has given the
International Young Mems association
100000 to be used in constructing
Christian Association buildings in
heather cities. The gift will be used
to erect buildings in Kyoto, Japan;
Picking, China; and Seoul, Korea. He
has testified his appreciation of what
the association does for young men
In missionary countries by previous
gifts of buildings in Madras and Cal

The wool or pelt is an item of return.
The butchers who cater to fancy trade
will be compelled to fill orders for the
special goods, whatever the price may
be. A slaughter house on the farm
and method of Grating the whole or
part of a sheep to each of the thou
sands of rich families in and around
New York city should be easily ar
ranged advertising is unnecessary to
make known such a commodity; once
established, the only difficulty will DO
to supply the demand.
In this billion-dollar age in the most
extravagant country under the sun,
duplicate English saddle flap and juicy
leg of mutton should command hand
some return, easily doubling present
prices. The English-fed mutton con-
tinues always to hold up high price
against all imports. The best informed
can show no reason adverse to the pro-
duction of equally good mutton in
close proximity to New York city, and
this branch Of farming will work IA
vorably in conjunction with the usual
routine of the farm; once started even
in q small way, it can be developed to
enormous proportions.
It must not be supposed that the un-
initiated can make Z success by fol-
lowing the above statements, neither
do the American stockmen grasp tho
possibilities that await them. The nu-
merous details necessary to conduct
successfully this special branch Of
farming are understood by the best
English sheep feeders only, who often
have cold or wet to contend with dur
ing the winter months, necessitating
shed-covering as protection. It is not
generally known that q succulent tur-
nip is heating to the system of vest
ern lamb, in the absence Of duly pre-
pairing the animal. The question OF
fencing and protection from dogs
should be fully understood; the cost OF
attendance is q small item of expense.
