1t may De that the following Drfef article
In The Star of June proves that the spec
tacle Of man in liquor in
Before and Washington's streets was so
Af+.r infrequent as to excite COM
ment. Or possibly 1t was the
unfortunate's attire that won him distinc-
ton In print:
That's the Figure'-A day or two ago
we noticed a middle-aged. well-dressed man
his pantaloonS snow-white and his toilet
arranged with good taste-proudly prone
nading Pennsylvania avenue touching his
glorious altitude OF at least twelve inches
to ladies Of his acquaintance. He was so
extraordinarily polite as to attract public
attention. while, judging by the appearance
of his face. he had a happy heart. Nine
o'clock at night we saw this same man
grasping a lamp post on Pennsylvania ave-
nue-the late scene of his sober and polite
display-and, his voice being thick and
drawing. and his body exceedingly Timber
a suspicion was naturally excited that he
was either painfully fatigued with his days
promenading or had been afternooning
with a few select friends!
I'VE attentively watched this citizen.
Anon. he released his grasp Of the lamp
post. and pitching and zizagging toward
a house. came near humping his head
against the tenement! Whirling, and with
difficulty keeping on his legs, he reached
the gutter on the east side OF 7th street,
where he commenced the delivery of an
incoherent address: That's the fgure! he
exclaimed at the end OF a sentence. clap
ping his hands convulsively: and at that
moment his pedestals gave way and down
he fell into the mud; first in a sitting pos
ture and afterward at full length. That
was the figure indeej-comical. and yet
mournful. With extreme difficulty he re-
gained his footing and staggered from the
neIghborhood. What q contrast between
his conduct In the morning and at night!'

FEEDING WESTERN LAMBS,
Suggestions by an Eastern stockman
Y for Profitable Rearing1of Lambs. .
B. = a. ~ for Meat. 49, j. %.e.E&&$ +

/ wish to give some facts about tho
insloe of an industry new to this coun-
try and in which are the least possible
risks. with the hope of interesting CAPS
italists.
| 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 system Of feed
Ing, etc., which will result in the de-
velopment of thick, lean, juicy NUT
ton carcass of finest quality and di-
gestibility, having a peculiar turnipy
flavor, pleasing to the palate, the epi-
| cures delight.
The questions may be asked: Nnat
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
10 pounds each day per head being fed,
with very small quantity Of hay, also
bran, peas, linseed and cotton cake.
; oats, etc., all or part mixed in bulk
I estimating one pint or so each day per
head, with about two quarts of hay
chaf, possibly little water and rock
salt. Movable fences are necessary to
enclose the flock in a new patch of
roots each day, passing over the field
ttt~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 fertil-
izer bills. The English grow their fine
quality mailing barley after sheep, and
1t may yet be discovered that a finer
quality of tobacco can be grown in this
country after such preparation.
Western lambs can be bought in the
Buffalo market or shipped direct from
the west, costing aboat three dollars
per head.
The feeding period mo, range over
two to three months, during which
time the animal will thickcA and grow.

THE LIVE STOCK.

Whatever you may feed your horse,
feed judiciously and regularly. Use
system.
While it is always an item to feed
we'll, young pigs may easily be stunted
by overfeeding.
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 a concentrated
shape.
When stabbed for the noon feed, it is
comforting and cooling to the tired,
sweating horse to be relieved of all
harness.
1t is the hogs that make tho 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 tho brood SOW will
stop soours in little pigs.
Owners Of waste, brushy land would
find flock of Angora goats a very
valuable acquisition. They are money
makers as well as land clearers.
In selecting young animal for
breeding purposes one with a gentle
and tractable disposition should be
chosen as nearly as can be judged.

CARE OF NAMES AND TAILS
Some Valuable Suggestions for th'
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 it's readers
the following suggestions:
"Cleanliness is the first thing to be
looked after. If dirt is suffered to &C.
cumulate at the roots of the long hair
the horse will rub and destroy it.
Therefore, good, honest soap and
water is 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 q
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-
tion is applied there is no need to slop
1t over so that it runs down or away
from the skin where it is needed. 1t
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 common currycomb, and in that
very way much damage is done. A cur
rycomb should never be used on a
name or tail. Use the comb specially
designed for the purpose. The tail
should never be plated to make it look
crinkly. To plait it is to break of the
hair and in time to spoil the looks of the
TAIL"

CARCASS, SHOWING PARTS.

II
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 be
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 a 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 fa-
routine of the farm; once started even
in small way, it can be developed to
enormous proportions.
It must not be supposed that the un-
initiated can make success by fol-
lowing the above statements, neither
do the American stockmen grasp the
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 succulent tur-
nip is heating to the system Of a west
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 a small item Of expense.
