NECESSARY.

1t is advisable to dip sheep twice
each year, in the spring and in the
fall. The spring dipping should be
done shortly after the shearing has
been done, at which time the lambs
should also be dipped, as the ticks are
likely to leave the ewes and get on
the lambs after the former have been
SHARED. In using the coal tar dips,
we have obtained better results by
using solutions that are recommended
in the directions accompanying the
preparations. Dipping is the only
practical method of keeping the flock
safe from the ravages of ticks, lice

Objection Sustained.

Among the curiosities of the law is
the following, reported by the Roches-
ter Post-Express:
At a term of the circuit court in
one of the up-riVer counties, not long
ago, a horse case was on trial, and
a we'll known "horseman' was called
as a witness.
"Well, sir, you saw this horse?'
said the defendants counsel.
Eyes, sir, l."
"What did you do?"
sI jest opened his mouth to find
out how old he was. an l says to
him, says I, old feller, 1 guess you're
purity good yet.
"stop!!" cried the opposing counsel.
"Your honor, I object to any CONVEX
sation carried on between the witness
and the horse when the plaintiff was
not present."
The objection was sustained.

simple little device, but it is of great
convenience for use on tall glasses,
such as those used for iced tea, etc.
The device consists of a piece of metal
bent at the top to form two arms,
with the opening between them just
wide enough to admit the handle of a
spoon, inserted sideways, and with
the wide part just narrow enough to
keep the handle of the spoon from
slipping through. The lower part of
the holder consists of a fiat strip
which runs down inside the glass and
a spring clip on the back which goes
outside the glass and clamps the
whole firmly on. The spoon, when
not in use, is hung on the holder and
does not fall into the bottom of the
glass. While the device fits on the
edge of any receptacle, it is chiefly
employed where the receptacle is
deeper than the spoon is long.-Bos-

NEW YORK STATE FARMS.

While the New York State Bureau
Of Agriculture has been in existence
only three years, it has in that time
been instrumental in the sale of 3d.
coo, 900 worth of farms, which also
means their rehabilitation. 1t has
also sent out several thousand farm
laborers to those who need their as
.sistance and maintained an Office in
the State Agricultural Department to
attend to correspondence in relation
TO the sale of farms and the engage
ment of agricultural labor. 1t has
also advertised the opportunities for
farming in New York State, posting
notices in European districts which
send the most desirable immigrants.
The latest bulletin contains q. list of
936 farms, at prices varying from $40
to $50 an acre. and in some cases
small, payments may be made. To
those who desire it, the State Bureau
will also furnish a scientific report
as to the products for which each
farm is best adapted.-Weekly Witt

Under Government encouragement
it is said that Siberia is gaining 200,-
000farmers per- year. Among its ex-
ports are cereals, butter, wool, leath-
er and dried and preserved meats.
Already this remote country, which
the popular Imagination is apt TO pic
ture as a vast waste, the abode of
frost and snow and misery, is becom-
ing talked of asa possible competitor
with the we'll known cereal producing
countries OF the world. A member of
the French Bureau Of Foreign Com
merce estimates that, on the basis of
the present population of Russia in
Europe, Siberiaecan sustain $4,000
600 inhabitants, although now it has

yield of gold. but owing to climatic
obstacles many of its mines are not

MUSHROOM DISH.

A mushroom dish new to many per-
sons combines oysters with them.
The mushrooms are first cooked in
butter. Then they are placed cup
side upward in a shallow dish, an
oyster is put into each cup, it is
sprinkled with salt and pepper and
the dish is put into the oven and kept
there until the oysters plump. They
should be served with bechamel
sauce.
For the sauce season a cup and a
half of white stock with a slice Of
carrot, a slice of onion, a bit of bay

fuls of -four and the same quantity of
butter rubbed to a cream, add a cup
full OF hot milk, eason with salt and

little drawers at the upper corners
and a desk portion on top. In front
of the desk portion is a little door,

BALANCED RATION WITH sILAGE


Wallace's Farmer says that the
profit in feeding corn silage depends
much upon the other feed with it,
and says: The best balance we know
of for silage is clover or alfalfa hay.
In fact, we do not know any kind of
balanced ration that car be provided
so cheaply for dairy farmers, and to
q certain extent feeders of other cat
tie in the corn belt, as from thirty
five to forty pounds Of silage and
about eighteen to twenty pounds of
clover or alfalfa hay. This in itself
should provide for the COW a fairly
well balanced ration; 1t is all grown
on the farm, and hence it is cheaper
than anything that can be purchased.
