There Is that sheep with hair in
place Of wool. Get her out of the flock
Wool is what we are after, not hair.
AS soon as the ewes have all been
served get the ram out. He will only
be nuisance from that time on.
1t is a good plan to have little yard
with a trough made on purpose for the
lambs just outside the lot where the
sheep are kept
1t isn't much trouble to count the
sheep every day. Better do it and be
sure that all Of them are all right.
The hog has the credit Of being the
farm mortgage raiser. But sheep will
do 1t just as surely If they c-e given a
chance.

OLD COINS NEW TO HER.
Cashier Refused to Take 2-Cent Piece
md Three "EagIeo Cents.

Cashier Refused to Take 2-Cent Piece
md Three eagle" Cents.
How little is known by the general
public of the United States coins which
are not now current was shown the
other day in an uptown restaurant,
says the New York Times, when coin
collector in a spirit of fun handed to
the cashier in place Of nickel one old
fashioned bronze two-cent piece and
three small copper-nickel flying eagle
cents.
The cashier, a young woman OF
about 20, looked disdainfully at the un-
familiar coins, and then refused to ac-
cept them. saying she had never seen
any such money as that before; that
she didn't believe they were good
and didn't propose to accept them.
The patron protested that the coins
were genuine, and pointed to the in
scription UNITED States of America
as veriflcation. But the young WON.
an remained unconvinced, and summon
ed the manager. He, too, was dubious
about the authenticity of the pieces
looked them over carefully, and said
he had never seen anything like then
before He finally told the cashier tt
take them anyhow, and he would re
lieve her of all responsibility in cast
they turned out to be spurious.
The last two-cent piece was ISSUED
by the United States mint in 1873
while the flying eagle cents were strucl
only in 1856, 1857 and 1858. Nearl.
25,000,000 eagle cents and more thai
100000 two-cent pieces were coined
To collectors 1t Is odd that In pc
riod of fifty years this vast numbe
of coins should have disappeared t
such an extent that the present genera
tiOn never heard of them.

Grating Methods.

Apple trees are usually propagateu
in the nursery either by budding or
root grating two-year-old seedlings
Larger seedlings may be taken up and
the roots cut into a great number OF
sections five or six inches long. Upon
these the scions of the desired varie-
ties should be grated by means OF the
whip and tongue method Of grafting'
as shown in the accompanying Illus
trations. This grating does not re-
quire any wax, the parts being simply
held together by binding with twine or
raftia. Root grating Of this kind is
usually done during the winter time
and the CRAFTS stored in moist sand or
soil until the ground is fit for plant
ing them outside in the spring. They
should then be planted in nursery rows
and in two or three years should make
trees large enough to transplant to per-
manent positions
Top grating Is usually done by the
cleft method, as shown in the Illus
trations. In this method the scions
are cut wedge-shaped and fitted firmly
into the cleft made in the stock, which
is usually cut off squarely where the
branches are from one to two inches
in diameter, two scions being placed in
each stock In this, as in all methods
Of grating, great care must be taken
to get the cambium layer, or inner
bark, of the stock and scion in contact
in at least one side, for it is at this
point that union takes place. and any

A bushel of grain a year for each
laying hen is said to be the proper
amount to count on in estimating the
cost Of keeping poultry.
Fowls like green food as well as any
other class Of stock. They need 1t in
their business, SO it is good policy to
keep them supplied.

An Electrical Plant.

A plant has been discovered in Mica
ragua which appears to lie charged
with electricity. If one of its branches
is touched with the naked hand dis
tinct shock similar to that produced by
a battery is felt. Its influence upon a
magnetic needle Is noticeable at dis
tance of half dozen yards, and as
one gets nearer the plant this infu.
ence increases. If the instrument Is
placed in the center of the bush 1t will
assume a circular movement. The in.
tensity of the influence manifested
seems to depend upon the time Of day

THE PARADOX.

There grows a weed, SO gossips tell.
To wound the hand that lightly plucks
But bind it with proper spell,
And poison from the vein it sucks.
Twas Cupid's self that threw the dart.
Gave me the simple for my smart.
When storms are high, so seamen tell,
And pillows crumple all the main,
But dive beneath the angry swell,
And thou wilt find it calm again.
Since, Love, thou art troubled sea,
My only refuge Is in thee.
A chapman, Holy Writ doth tell,
Found treasure in the earth concealed
But all he had he needs must sell
Ere he might have the precious field.
Since thou has cost me all | own
o Love. what riches have | known!

Cultivation of Potatoes.

Cultivation should commence just as
soon as the young plants begin to ap-
pear above the ground. The field may
be gone over with light harrow, or,
better still, with a weeder. This is a
cheap method Of cultivation, since a
wide space is covered. 1t is also effec-
tive in breaking any crust that may
have formed, in destroying small weeds
and leveling ridges left in planting.
AS soon as the rows can be seen the
cultivator should be used. If the
ground has become packed the first
cultivation may be deep and close to
the plants. Subsequent cultivation
should be frequent. The conservation
of moisture by frequent tillage cannot
be TOO strongly enforced The old no.
ton that tillage must cease as soon as
the blossom appears is wrong. 1t
should be continued as late in the sea-
son as the vines will permit. AS the
tops begin to spread out and cover the
space between the rows they partially
shade the soil and thus lessen the loss
of moisture by evaporation.
The cultivator should be set as mar
row as the space between and keep It
covered with a loose mulch. Expert
ence and experiments favor nearly lev
ell cultivation. Excessive hilllng in
tensifies the injurious effects Of dry
weather. The best cultivator is one
having a number of small teeth, 30 that
1t will leave the soil fine and compare.

Prof Fraser Of the Illinois Expert
ment Station says that complete
knowledge and mastery of the dairy
business cannot be secured without
testing each cow. Many farmers and
dairymen think this testing of the COWS
is too much trouble, and do not want
to fuss" around with 1t, but II they
considered the profits to be realized
from a herd Of really good COWS as
compared with one Of poor cow, or
even a mixed herd, they would soon zee
that 1t really pays to fuss around
