The soutIldOwn.

The Southdown sheep has steadily
grown in popular favor.
There has been no boom" in the
Southdown trade, says an exchange,
but there has been a steady, healthy
demand, which Is now increasing
rapidly, as the intrinsic merits of the
breed are better known
Many men in all parts of the coun-
try not heretofore known as having
any interest in Southdowns, are in
quiring where these sheep can be had.
Having learned from practical men
that they possess superior qualities
as wool bearers as well as mutton
producers, that they are naturally
strong and hardy, and that they inn
press these qualities on other breeds
with which they are crossed in re-
markable degree, progressive breed
ers want them for improving the NUT
ton and wool-bearing qualities Of
their herds.
The Southdown breeders report
that they are wholly unable to meet
the demand. The demand is largely
from the Southern and Southwestern
regions where the Southdowns are
best known, and this demand upon
the focks of the East, the Northeast
and the Middle West, which has al
ready depleted the supply, may be
expected to steadily increase.
But because we so frequently find
the Southdown mentioned as the
standard Of excellence in judging
other breeds, both for the production
of mutton and wool, and for prepo-
tency in crossing upon other breeds,
it by no means follows that the
breeders should fall to patronize the
advertising columns of the live stock
press in promoting the interests Of
the breed. From a financial point Of
view the publishers Of live stock pa
pers deserve better Of Southdown
breeders than they have received. If
all breeders of Southdowns will adj
vertise, and il the few who do adj
vertise will double their advertising
efforts, they will increase their profits
and may safely increase their focks
to twice the present size. There need
be no fear of overstocking, for when
the nearby regions are supplied the
great West will gladly take any pos
sible surplus in carload lots.-Inland

Sowing White Pine Seeds.

The great interest taken in forestry
matters Of late has led to many in
uuiries for white pine seeds, among
other sorts; and many inquiries have
been made as to the proper way to
\ kise the seedlings. Nurserymen al
Ways SOW the seeds in beds, early in
spring. They make narrow beds of
about three feet width, to admit of
the wedding of them through the
summer. The soil is made smooth,
Just as for any other seeds, and the
seeds sown broadcast and covered
with about half inch of soil. When
it is a question of renewing cut
down forest the seeds are sown broad
cast, but in this way a good many
seeds are lost, not finding their way
to moisture under leaves or other
covering, and perhaps birds taking
some of them, as well as animals, too.
However sown it should be done early
in spring, for white pine seeds are
always slow in terminating. When
ssown in beds the seedlings are trans
planted when two or three years old.
IsEven at three years they are not very
large, as the first year they make
sbut few inches of growth, and even
at three years they would be but
eight or ten inches high. After once
well established, growth Of foot
"a year could be looked for If the
plants were in good soil.

Agriculture is experimenting largely
with many kinds of seeds for forestry,
the white pine, jack pine and western
bull pine being used with Others, and
the tulip poplar Iiriodendron) is
in much demand. Those unac-

Then she tiIts down the looking

A LlFEsAvER's REWARD.
What Swiss catekeeper Received
for Preventing a Wreck.

M A'0V~ttstbt0 - sut<~hes
During the heavy rains and floods
in the cantons OF Geneva and VaHd
at the end Of last january a Swiss
railway gatekeeper at level crossing
named ALBANIAN, hearing an unusual
kissing sound walked along the
lines, having a presentment that
there was something wrong, He
found that stream flowing from the
Jura Mountains into lake Geneva
had become torrent and overflow
ing its banks had swept away about
thirty yards Of the permanent way,
leaving the rails suspended in the
air.
AS the Geneva-Lausanne express
travelling at sixty miles an hour was
due in few minutes and would be
precipitated into the torrent with It's
sixty passengers ALBANIAN ran to his
little house for red flag and stop
ped the express fifty yards from the
suspended rails and then returned
home pleased with the fact that he
had prevented terrible accident.
Some days age the news of the af-
fair arrived at the Bern headquar.
tiers of the Federal Railway Company
and the Swiss managers thought that
such an act on the part Of a gate
keeper should be rewarded
ALBANIAN received his reward re-
Gently for saving the express and
its sixty travellers from destruction.
The reward was Ss, which works
out at lid. a life.
The Swiss press is indignant at
the ridiculous reward for great
service, and several papers state
that IL the accident had occurred the
Federal Railway Company would
have been obliged to pay between
$4,000 and 10000 damages. Cen
