Getting a Start with Sheep.

When the farmers in the corn aud
grass states reach the point where they
have their fields all fenced hog tight,
they should not delay for any consider
able length of time getting a start in
sheep, says Wallaces Farmer. 1t is
not necessary to have large flock. 1t
is good deal better not to have it for
two or three reasons One is that sheep
do not do well with hogs and cattle.
This is the reason why SO few sheep are
kept in the hog and cattle country.
Another reason is that those who have
had no experience in sheep would do
we'll to advance slowly, and, if need be
retreat rapidly. twenty-five ewes and
a good buck are as many as the mex
perienced farmer should start with. The
expense of these is comparatively small,
the possible loss therefore not great in
case the man should prove not to be a
fit man to handle sheep. There are some
men of this kind. The chances of loss.
however, are very small where the
farmer has any kind of sheep gumption
about him.

Of the same seasons growth of the de-
sired variety one of the strong, healthy
buds by cutting from below the bud up
and under it. Start about / inch be-
low the bud and come out again 1 inch
above the bud, as at b. Cut deep
enough into the wood so as not to in
jure the bud, and cut it so as not to
Lave too much wood under the bud.
Then place the bud, C, on the end or
the knife and push down into the slit,
as above described. Push securely in
place, so that the bud is about inch
below the upper cut. Then wrap care
fully with yarn, as at d. In two or
three weeks examine and see if the bud
has grown fast and so that the yarn
is not injuring it. Should the yarn
be loose, retie. The bud should start
to grow the following spring.
Success largely depends upon wheth-
er the stock is growing vigorously or
whether the bud is healthy. The bud
serves the same purpose as the scion
in grating. From it springs limb
which will produce the kind of fruit
horne by the tree from which the bud
was taken.-W. Ii. Underwood, in

The Black Raspberry.

The black raspberry has it's peculiari-
ties, and among them is that of the
annual travel to new soil by means or
the tips. Stocks from the hill are COM
paratively worthless for new planta-
tions; and growers of valuable varieties
must obtain their plants from the tips
of the present years growth. The first
part of July, if it has not been attend
ed to sooner, when the growing canes
have reached the height of feet, nip
out the point with thumb and finger,
and soon branches will come out along
the cane, increasing the number TO take
root, and adding to the productiveness
of the plant the next season. Leave
the bearing cane III its place until fall.
Later, when it is time for the tips to
attach themselves to the soil, the root
ing can be facilitated by a slight COW
ering of dirt. In preparing for the
crop in spring head in the branches to
two or three feet, according to their
strength.

RETIRED MATADOR A SAILOR.
Left Spain When He Lost Reputation
as Bullfghter.

One man who has killed more bulls

in the bull ring than any other man
who has eve: visited the Pacific coast is
Senior GaYiac. a Spanish matador of dis
tinctiOn, now common sailor on board
the big Kosmos liner Alexandria, which

Gaviao was signed at one of the South

The man is past the prime of life, but
still has the whipped muscle of the ath-
lete and the quick, sure movement so
necessary to the man whose occupation
is to gamble daily with death.
There is said to be a romance about
his quitting the ring in the way of 4 love
passion the man conceived for a high
born Spanish lady who rejected his adj
vances. He is also reported to have
quit the ring and his native land on ac
count of losing his nerve at critical

his prestige. Gaviao maintains a silence

COIN COUNTING MACHINE.
Apparatus in Bank of England Sorts
Counts and Stacks Money.

Counts and Stacks Money.
A remarkable machine has been in
stalled for experimental purposes in the
counting house of the Bank of England.
1t is the invention of a Swedish en-
gineer. The apparatus counts and sorts
money into paper tubes or bags at the
rate of $4,000 coins an hour. In the
iers, working all day long, are able to
count only $4,000 in small silver coins:
The new machine will do so in a fifth of
the time.
The apparatus is worked by electricity,
and performs it's task in an interesting
way. A great bag of mixed coins is.
first poured into receptacle at the rear
of the machine, and the operator takes
his stand in front of it. The movement
of lever brings up a heaping trayful of
several hundred coins, which are tipped
over by mechanical action. They fall
upon a polished metal plate. This is
tilted downward and broken up by raised
metal rules into exactly a hundred
squares, which may be so altered in size
that any desired coin, slipping into them.
is held firmly in its place.
AS the coins fall upon the plate,
mechanism hidden beneath it causes it to
move rapidly to and fro with a sieve like
notion The result is that, should it be
arranged to abstract sixpences from a
heap of larger coins, all the bigger coins
which fall upon the moving plate are in
the space of a few seconds ''sifted'' off
it and return to their original receptacle,
while in each of the hundred squares lies
a sixpenny piece. By mechanism even
more ingenious the hundred coins which
have been caught on the plate travel
through metal channels into paper tubes,
and are stacked, without the chance of
error, in twenties, forties or sixties.

ELECTRICITY ON ATLANTIC LINER.
The Subtle Fluid Now Plays an lmpor-
+an+ PART in Ocean NAVIGATION.

Although much has from time to time
been written about the Mauretanla con-
paratively few can grasp the slsnil-
cant part which electricity plays lhe
ship. says New York World.
Apart from the O,OOO-horsepower OF
the turbines which propel the snip
through the water the electrical pomel'
which is supplied by four generators,
represent an additional 214-horsepoWer.
Electricity is used not only for illumi-
mating the ship at night, but for multi
tude of other purposes, such as operating
the lifts, of which there are two for
passengers use, eight for baggage and
mails and two smaller ones in the pan
tries. Electrically driven cranes and
winches are also provided, and $500 cleo
trio lamps give the enormous total of
over 100000 candlepower. For heating
the first class quarters sixty electric
radiators have been fitted, to say nothing
of some forty three heaters in the bath
rooms.
Numerous electric fans are used Tor
Tentilating the various rooms, and are
SO arranged that they can supply either
WARM or cool air according to the
weather.
In the kitchens one range alone has q
frontage o, about 60 feet, and includes
a rooster with four vertical SpltS ro-
tatcd by an electrical motor, these sp!ts
being capable Of dealing with half tol
of meat at q time There is also 81
smaller rooster with three spits, driven
in the same manner. In the bakery cleo
tricity is employed to operate a large
dough-making machine, capable of max
ing bread for at least 5000 persons.
Some nlca of the size of this vessel
may be OFT" ned when it is mentioned
that over 200 miles of wire and cables
are fitted throughout the ship.
The electric bell and telephone install
lation on the Mauretania surpasses any
thing hitherto attempted in connection
with ship work. Bell pushes are placed
over every bed, and altogether 1908 bell
pushes have been fitted in the various
cabins, etc, while telephones, of which
there are upward Of 100, are to be found
i'll numerous parts of the ship.
Apart from the Marconi wireless tele-
graph outfit, means have been provided
for coupling the ship up to the city
telephone exchanges when lying along
side the landing stages at Liverpool or
| New York.
| Four electric searchlights are carried
| and in addition to the usual complement
of life buoys which every ship carries,
two special buoys have been provided for
use at night. These, upon being released
| by pressing button automatically light
a flare upon striking the water.
The electric installation of this vessel
| represents about $3.50, 900.

New Playing Cards.

Ordinary cards have hitherto been
used in the most republican countries in
the world but without any violence 10
their feelings Now, however, republic
an cards have been provided for France.
They are due to the enterprise of a citi-
zen of Rouen, and the dealers are exhib-
iting them in Paris. Instead of the
kings, portraits of republican presidents
are used. while instead of the queens
there are portraits of Joan of Arc, Char
lotte Corday and Nine. Roland. and Vol
taire, Rousseau. Admiral Coligny and
other celebrities take the place of the
knaves. This is not, however, the first
time that the kings and queens have
been dethroned in the world of cards,
for II was done at the time OF the
French revolution.-London Chronicle.
