BEST SHEEP FOR FARMERS. —The best
sheep for a farmer to keep arc those that
yield the heaviest fleece and the greatest
number of pounds of meat, The scrub
sheep will yield trom three to six pounds
of wool per head, while Mirinoes will
raDge between ten and twenty pounds,
and thoroughbred Cotswoles more. Why
is it that the farmers do not raise the sheep
which will give thioe heavy Ce ces? Then
as to the meat, the fine sheep pro.
duce an enormous amount of fl'-sh, and
does not eat any more than a scrub
But besides these facts, the flue sheet do
not only yield large fleeces per head, but
the wool i of a'superior quality. The
same is true of the sheep in comparison
with scrubs, Southdowns, for instauce.
are the fiuest mutton in the world, always
commanding an extra price—a fle?h which
princes desire- while the fleece is medium.
The Shropshire stand next in quality, and
are next to Cotswolds in fleeces. Tha
profits of these breeds are very great in
times of ordinary prosperity, aud uuder
all circumstances it is best for the farmer
to breed them because they pay better —
the grand result which is the supreme ob
ject of the farmer—the highest possible
lemuneration for his capital and latior.
And all said concerning sheep is true of fine
breeds of cattle, horses, hogs aud poultry
lu the face of ihese indisputable tacts,
the mass of the people should not handle
stock, aud en'ertaiu au ignorant opposi
tion to tine breeds.
STRAIGHTENING UP TREKS. —In August
aua September trees begin tJ harden their
wood, anil as the twig is then bent the
tree will be inclined. A tree will usually
ariange its foliage symmetrically, the
shoots that are laggard this year ieeeivmg
the most impetus next year, aud so filling
up vacancies and irregularities. But a
item once hardened in deformity canuol
recover without aid. Only a stake sliffer
than itself, so applied as to press against
the (onvexi'y of the bend, while the "!ear
mg off" portiou is drawn toward lhe stake
and tied c!o e up to it, will remedy the
ihsflgi r uieut. It is surp img bow few
of those who attempt to straighten a tree
s em by a stake apply the stake so as to
effect their object. Set it on the side
ln.ni stem leans, and close to
the slew. Set it now, just before the
wood hardens. T.e it at bottom, lop aud
middle, so that the tree stem will bo
straight a9 the rake, and so that the wind
may not displace it. Add a brace, if ne
cessary, to hold the stem erect atter the
stake has made it straight (by October the
stake may 1 e dispensed with) and if you
have got a j tr t cudicular eye u ..our level
head it wilt be a contiuual pleasure to
look ever thereafter at that erect suppoit
of the head of foliage, on the other
hand crooked stems are, as loug as they
staud, not only vexatious eye-sores plumb
metrically, but monuments of neglect or
or waut of knowledge on the part of
the owner.
HORSES IN HIT WEATHER —We went
into a stable where the air was s'ltiiug
hot, and reeking with odors from the ma
nure beneath the horse's feet. The poor
biutes were perspiring freely while swarms
of,flies tormeuled the very life out of them.
This was during the hour of noon when
the horses were being fed and recruiting
for a heavy afternoon's work in the mow
ing mscn ne. We Lei that we are perfect
ly .<afe in sayiDg tha* au hour's impuson
int nt in that stable on a hot day wou'd
eneivaie s team more than half a day's
work rut in the pure air. And tl ere are
many s ah es 1 ke this through the country.
In nine e ses out of ten, no thought is
ever given t) h waiter Qf ventilation,
in the construction of stables. This was
low, with nar.ow stalls, a loog feed
trough running the whole leng h, and a
feed rack above it. There was no chance
for introducing a cur:eut of air, which
would be appreciated fully tv a horse
as by his owner, Stables should be kept
scrupul usly c'ean, and even disinfected
durug the close, sultry weather of uiul
suuiua r. We know of one farmer WHO
makes it a business to wash out his stalls
with cold water before putting in his
Dorset: at noou, and it is a practice to be
commended where water is convenient
But at least, give the tired horses clean,
•wholesome stalls, and plenty of air.
FATTENING SWINE. — When Logs are be
ing fattened in pens there should always
be two apartments, the oae FT leediDg aim
the o her for sleeping io. The one should
be cleaned daily, and the other Kept well
littered wuh straw, and the straw renew
ed as ofu-u as the nest becomes very dirty
When first penned, mix with the feed of
each hog at least three or four times a
week a teaspoonful of sulphur and also a
tcaspoonful of pul vet lzed copperas. Feed
regularly three t'nies da ly. A rubbing
post in the inclosure will be of advantage.
Alio place in a trough under shelter a mix
ture of rotten wood, pulverized charcoal,
allies and salt. These methods or an
pen lauge are indispensable '.o the good
health of the herd.
REMEDY FJK WOKMS IN FIGS. — A Wes
tern paper says tl at flour of sulphur is a
simple a> d effective remedy against worms
in pigs, and the animals readily partake of
it, when mixed in giuel or other sloppy
iqpd. F>r pigs under three months old a
teaspooulul is a do e, and for old' r ones a
small ta .lespooulul. It may be given
four days in succe.-Biou, moining and even
ing, and repent d every other week. Give
plenty of sour milk, green food, celery
lops, acorns and s iced raw onions.
Avoid stagnant and putrid wate • Gne
to charcon 1 and ashes.
,Cows CHEWING B. NKS. — Cows will chew
bones because they like tLe la te of them,
and will rarely hurt themselves chewing
them it let alone, and never, unless fright
eued by a person or some master animal.
Therefore a cow when chewing a brine,
should tever be chased or started up sud
denly. or she may be tempted to try to
swall w it.
L)KEP CULTIVATION, —We do not realize
that deep end thorough pulvi rizntion is
tquiva'eut to a cheti ical cl aQge of soiL
Tne more the partic'es of jarth are separ
ated biid exposed to the sun the higher
they become electr.fLd; they inhale the
air fr ely and carry the surplus water
de per.
HINTS —Coal ashes are useful fo
mulchiug voung trees aud bushes. They
prevent the soli liom drying out, and
k ep down grass aud weeds. A simple
aud eff. remedy for 1 ce on cattle is to
give them a tbo-ough dusiing over with
wood 8l es every other day, brushing
them clean the following day.
FOR a kick ng hi fili an old sack with
hay aud suspend it from the loft by means
of a rope, in sucn a manner that the horse
will be able to kick it every time it swings
agninst him. Let him kick until he stops
of his own acc >rd, aud you will have no
more trouble wiih him that way.
IN Prusria the potato is cultivated with
* eculiar success. As the stalks grow, lhe
earth is heaped up, leaving only three
leaves at the top; roo s are thus greatly in
creased, while the p.oduct is said to be
tutouis' log.
DOMESTIC.
PLAIN DUFFH-JYOU may call it H ton 111
pudding. Yon can make it in a jiffy,
aud tho only time it takes is the boiling
of it. You are caught sometimes, and
if pudding is the word this is the way to
get out o it. One quart of flour, sifted;
a teacnpful of currants and a tablespoou
ful of baking powder, and a pint of suet;
mix them well tirst, iffkl then add enough
cold water to make a stiff batter; put
it in a pudding |tin, cover it with a
cloth, aud let is go it in a steam boiler
for one hour and a half. If you want a
richer duff, just go through the same
thing, adding the yolks of Ave eggs and
a tablespoonful of butter. The sauce—
You Bee you ain't got'uo sugar in them.
This here sauce is quick, tix>. You
want two tablespoonfuls of butter, and
just a trifle less of sifted flour, and
you grate a quarter of a nutmeg into it,
and you add a teaspoonful of vanilla ex
tract, or half a teasp lonful of lemon es
sence, and a whole teaeupful of granu
lated sugar. Now smooth it altogether,
adding teaspoonfuls of warm water from
time to time as you boil it until you get
it to the thickness you want; but after
all, I've seen many a nice lady take
that sauce 1 and then dash molasses on
the whole thing, ami say molasses was
the best.
CARE OF VACCINATION. —Avoid having
a flannel or woolen sleeve or a linen
baud around the arm, as they irritate it
aud keep it sore much longer than it
should be, and it will also prevent the
vaccination from becoming perfect. Bo
careful that the sore be not scratched or
torn. Either leave the arm entirely bare
or cover it with a thin, loose sleeve of
calico or muslin. In case the arm la
conics very much inflamed after tho
tenth day do not jHiultiee it, but keep it
covered with cloth wet with lake warm
water, aud it will usually heal very rap
idly. Babies should Ih> vaccinated lie
fare they are five months old, if possible,
so that they may get entirely over the
effect of it before teething begins. It
makes no difference at what time of the
year the vaccination is performed. Vao
cination such as we offer, will always
prevent small pox if attended to in time.
PANCAKES FOR LUNCHEON. —These arc
made of eggs, flour and milk. The just
proportions are one tahlespoonful of
flour to each egg. To make small pan
cakes, beat two eggs thoroughly and add
sweet milk. Then take two tablespoon
fuls of flour, work into a thin paste and
ductile batter by adding the milk and
eggs and a little salt. Grease the pan
with a piece of sweet lard or butter and
stir briskly to prevent adhering to the
bottom. Wheu the underside is suf
ficiently browned, turn it, leave the
cakes folded, with su ar or honey and
butter between the folds, or sugar alone.
If this be too solid, add more eggs and
less flour. A slight sprinkle of grated
nutmeg will be an addition.
To COOK A WHITE FlSH. —Choose one
that weighs about seven or eight pounds,
boil it until it is done, then take out all
the bones; take a quart of sweet milk,
two onions, and a little summer savory;
boil until the milk is thoroughly seasoned
and thicken it with flour, using enough
to make a thin paste; add butter, pep
per to suit your taste. Then put in a
a pudding dish a layer of fish and a layer
of dressing ; cover the top with rolled
cracker, as you do scalloped oysters;
bake for three quarters of au hour, or
until the top is a goldexl brown. Serve
with mashed potatoes, spiced curiants
and the vegetables of tha season.
CKKAM TO USE WITH LAYER CAKE. -Take
one pound of blanched almonds, pound
to a paste, one coffee cup of thick sour
cream, two tablespoonfuls of corn starch
scalded in a little sweet milk, beat alto
gether and spread between the layers of
cake; flavor with a little almond extract.
This is very rich, and is suitable for
the nicest kiud of cake. For more com
mon use an iuviting cream may be made
in this way : Take a pint of sweet milk,
thicken it with half a cup of corn starch,
add half a cup of sugar, and boil until
the cream or custard is of the consisten
cy of starch. When almost cool add
one tablespoonfnl of lemon and yunilla
and spraed between the layers of cake.
BAKED EGO PLANT. —Trim off the
stem end and boil the egg plant for
twenty minutes in salt water and then
lay in the colander to drain until per
fectly cold; peel open and take out the
seed, mash the egg plant smooth, pour
ing off any water that comes, and add to
it half a grated nutmeg, a saltspoonful
of white pepper, half a teaspoouful ol
salt, a teacupful of milk, a teaspoouful
of butter, two eggs, and bread crumbs
enough to make a thick batter of it;
bake for twenty minutes in the disli you
wdl serve it in ; two tablespoonfuls ol
minced ham is an improvement.
OMELETTE. —Beat up well four eggs,
add a teaspoonful of cream or milk and
a little sal'. Have hot in a skillet a
half ounce of melted butter, aud pour
in. During the frying, move the skil
let continually to and Iro. Continue this
until there is a soft, juicy cuke formed ;
then let remain still a moment to color.
Turn out on a dish, and seive at once.
MUFFINS. —Two eggs, one pint of
Hour, one teaspoon baking powder, one
teacup of milk, a piece of butter hall
the size of an egg, and a little salt. Mix
the Hour, baking powder and salt to
gether. In another dish beat the yolks
of the eggs; add the milk and butter,
then the Hour, then the beaten whites.
Beat well together, and bake in gem
irons in a hot oven.
BROWN BREAD.— "Auntie Brown ' is
famous for her brown bread, and this is
how she make# it: Three cups of sour
milk, one of sweet milk, three cups of
Indian meal, one cup of rye meal, one
cup of wheat Hour, one cup of maple
molasses, three teaspoonfuis of salera
tus and a very little salt. Steam three
hours aud bake one-half hour.
DELICIOUS CAKE. —Two cups of white
sugar, one cup butter, oue cup milk,
three eggs, half teaspoon soda, one tea
spoon cream tartar, three cups flour;
beat butter and sugar together, add the
yolks of eggs, taen the beaten whites;
dissolve soda in milk, rub the eream
tartar in the flour, aud add last. Very
nice and easily made.
MUTTON OR LAMB STEW. —Cut some
slices of rare lamb; put them in a fry
ing pau with enough gravy or broth to
cover them. Or, if not these, then make
a gravy of hot water, butter or catsup.
Boil up, stir in pepper, salt, and a large
spoonful of currant jelly. Send to ta
ble iu a hot dish, with the gravy poured
on.

HUMOROUS.
BLANK verse and love on the towpath:
Beneath the night's bespangled arch
they were strolling along unconscious of
aught save the intermitting fancies of
their twain hearts. Suddenly they paused
and gazing at a ruddy star that IIHSIMHI
like a great ruby in the firmament; she
said: "Diomedes! what rufeseent orb
is that which winks with bloixly e'en
from vonder dome?"
"That, Andromeda," spake her cour
tier knight, "is Mars, the wad of gore
—beg pardon, I mean the god of war."
"Ah, yes; and looks he not like some
gaunt Achilles, armored for conquest,
bidding defiance to the hosts of Hades?"
"He doth, Andromeda, he doth ! Or
like some grim avenger furling a hoc—
dash it ! 1 mean hurliug a foe—to the
death !"

Uncle Barn's letter-carriers are a hard

tract rheumatism because of the constant
exposure to which they are subjected.
Calling at the poet-ofllce the reporter had
a pleasant conversation with Mr. J. 11.
Mattern, one of the most popular and
clever letter-carnois in Indianapolis. Mr.
Mattern said that, while in the army dur
ing the civil war, he sprained oue of his
ankles, which was always worse in the
spring during the period of the rapid
changes in the weather. He did not find
much relief from the several remedies he
applied. But two years ago he hit upon
St. Jacob's O 1, and experienced wonder
ful relief from its use. Several applications
ot the Great German Remedy relieved
him eutirely. The reporter talked with
others among the letter carriers and
found that the great German Remedy
was popular in the post -otlice. They use
it for sore feet, rheumatism, etc., and
praise it highly.— lndianapolis (Jnd.)

"How ilo you like my book?" asked

"1 am delighted with it," replied

"Are you, indeed?" said Brown, his

"Yes," responded Fogg. "In fact, 1

"Oh, vou flatterer,"exclaimed Brown.
"No, I'm no flutterer," returned Fogg,

THERE are some dispensations of nature
which are not easily comprehended by
the casual inquirer, and do not become
very much plainer when carefully exam

unaccountable, indeed, that the tortoise
from whom we get all our tortoise shell
combs has himself no hair whatever."

produced as follows: After the prints
have been toned, washed and trimmed in
the usual way they are immersed in a warm
filtered aqueous solution of gelatine of
about the consistence of collodion, to wntch
is afier added a small quautity ot sugar
candy. Whenihe paper has become well
impregnated with the liquid the pieces are
removed end placed, smooth face down
ward, upon a plate of glass previously
coated with a four per cent, normal collo
dion, aud air dried. In placing the print
care must lie taken to quickly press out all
air bubbles. Afterward a sheet of stout
white paper, cut somewhat larger than the
prints, is cemented to the back of each
photograph to protect the pictures in the
eveut of their spontaneously leaving the
glass on drying. The plates are allowed
to reuiaiu over night iu a dry locality,

the glass by making an incision of the lllm

Dry Separation oj Gold from Sand.-
A novel apparatus for separating gold from
sand without the use of water was recently
completed and tested in New York. It is
intended for use in the placer regions of
the West, Mexico, and Central America,
wi ere gold;bearing sand if found at a dis
tance from water sufficient for hydraulic
tflining The machine is about five feet
in diamefer, and is arranged to throw the
sand by centrigugal force against a "wall"
of mercury, maintained in positun by c n
trifucal action. In this way it is claimed,
every particle of gold is brought in cou
tact with the mercery and amalguniab d.
while the sand is blown away by means f
an air blast. The machine is said tocleun
a t< n of rand in twenty minutes, and to 1 e
so thorough in its operation as to make it
possible to work over with profit the tail
ings of mines worked by ether systems.
The power required to operate the machine
is not given.
