TruonoHs of Buecdinif.
The property tor which wool in per
hups most valued in trueneus of breed
ing. In a true bred sheep each staple
of wool—that i, each lock into
which u group of flbrea natuially
forina itself —will lie of equal growth
throughout. The fibre will be the
same thickness SH nearly nn possible
the whole length, or will In- finer at
the point thun nt the root There will
be no shaggy rougli wool in it. but ;!
the sheep lie cross bred, or ill kept!
and exposed to storms, the fibre ay ill
lie rough at the points and courser '
then nt the roots, the reason of thi
being that as the wool get - longer, or
as it is more exposed to bad weatl e>
and hard treatment, nature makes it
stronger to resist what it has to en
counter, while the part which is next
the skin remains fine to give greater
warmth. Such wool, even when
combed and spun into yarn, never lies
smooth and evenly as Irti'' bred wool,
and is consequently not of rnui li
j value. There is another sort of wi ol
which farmers do not seem to under
stand. .and writers on the wu!j <• t
often ignore, but which is found tnoie
I or less on all cross-bred sheep arid on
sheep which are too much exposed
1 and fed on hilly districts. Tliis is
known ss "kemp," or dead hairs.
! These kemps vary in length and
coarseness according to the breed of
sheep. In white Highland they are
j nliout two inches long and \ cry thick ;
in cross bred Australian the) are very
short. In the former they cover the
under side of the fleece , in the la'U r
they are so few as to not be of any
importance. They are, however, all
alike in this, that they are a brilliant
shining wh.tc except on sheep with
gray wool, when they may !*• blacki
and they will not dye the same color
ss the r st of the wool. They conse
quently depreciate the xalueof the
wool very greatly, making it onH

ground will lie dry, the gras green,

wnter in the Hardener'* Sfonlhlu
•qwnks of good r< suits in growing
tuny potatoes, which some of our
potato raiser should try. He has for
several yt ars planted potatoes w,th
tin- sprouts well starti I, ami claims a
gain of nt least two weeks. The po

I terwards carefully cut in pit 0,-s

,as not to break the sprout. My thin
method the growth is not cheeked,
and tn n few days the sprouts will lc
above ground. "Beauty of Ile-brons,''
planted April 2fith, produced good
tubers July 10. The plan is worthy
of a fair trial. Early potatoes are al
ways in good demand, and bring fair
I i prices.
Ct iitvo Kk kino Cows.—The cor-
I respondent of the Wertcraisiorl- Jour
. nnl give their methoils of curing
j kicking cows, respectively, a* follows:
I A year or two since I got in s trade
a handsome three year old heifer, one
of the most vicious kickers I ever
saw. One of my men who milked
tried various devices without effect,
and finally took a common garden '
hoe, passed the end in front of the off
hind leg (the right leg behind) and
behind and above the gammel joint of
the left hind leg of the heifer. Then
sitting down on the rigid to milk he
i pot the handle of the hoc well under
his left arm and began milking. The
( heifer covld not stir either hind leg,
; and alter one week she could be milk
ed safely without fettering and proved
! to be a valuable and gentle animal.
Of course, she was tied in the stable
like other cowe*; but on being turned

Floworintr Annuals.
Nothing is gslned by sowing seeds
of tender annuals in o|>eri ground be
fore it is thoroughly warmed. Home
large seeds will rut, as every garden
er knows is the case with Lima lieans,
snd the small ones will not germin
ate. i'ortulacca seeds will lie with
out lisrtn where it drops all winter
through, but wdl not sprout here un
til late May, nnd in New England not
until well into June. When once it
floes start it makes up for lost time,
just as self sown tomatoes, which do
not sprout until gcnisl weather lias
come to siay, often overtake the hot
bed plants started a month earlier
and fruit at the same lime.
There is time yet to hurry forward
some flowers which bear transplant
ing easily. Asters, balsams, liruin
mond phlox, petunias, China pinks
zinnia*, browallii, cacalia, caliopsi*,
antirrhinums, margiolds, four o'-
< locks, scabioaas, canary-bird flowi rs
cypress vines and msurandyos, if
sown in a cold frame, or a box in a
sunny window, will be ready for
rather bloom, when properly cared
f<>r. than if sown later in open bor
di r-. Home of the above list, like
t ie antirrhinum*, ar< not strictly uii
i.uals, but they can be brought to
bloom the first jear in this way.
I a "us inthe sc. d the soil must be
wotked or sif ed very fine. I'fie

snd* will not b washed ba.e. As
soon a* the plants can Is- handled,
prick them out carefully, giving each
one plenty of room to make a stocky
growth. Give air and sunshine, but
never allow them to Ih> chilled night
or day, and do not transplant to their
blooming place until the summer has
come in earnest. The chill of one
cold will so cluck tht ir growth
that all previous labor wdl be lost.
Home annuals arc impatient of
transplanting- like lupins,eschscholt
KISS and jwippics. The seed of these
must l>e sown where the plants are to
remain and after they come up they
must Is' thinned out beyond any
danger of crowding. Some, like candy
tuft, bloom lor a short time compar
atively .and successive sowings should
be made to sustain a continuous
blfxitn. Some, like sweet |*a*. clar
sis and neraophila, do letter i f sown
very early. Home, like sweet xlyssum,
mignonette particularly the scentless
Bin-da lutes), petunia, porlulacca,
larkspur, and gytophila, will sow
their own seed ami come up abndant
ly in the sain'- I**l next year. With
all, the peiiod of bloom will Ik>

I'i.i-iiivr Yoi k pASTi ne—Many
iitiniis are now looking anxiously
forward i<> the full '|ening of spring,
but they ehould hasten slowly. Live
sto k can be kept with so much less
trouble and cost on grass than during
tin. winter; and of.en they arc so
touch more comfortable and look so
much lu'ttf r on grass, that it is natur
al to wi-b to gt t tlicm out of winter
quarters as soon as possible. But it
i easy to ruske mistakes here. In the
majority of cast s it i. certainly bcttoi
to keep the Mock in the stables or
yards until the grass has made a good
start, than to put them on the pas
tures at the first of starting vegeta
tion. The animals cat the dry Tood
better if confined to it, than if they
get a bite of grass. The pastures do
better through the season for "a lair
start" in spring. It is not meant that
they should be allowed to hall matun
thcir crop before being grazed, but
that the grass or clover should be
well started and.be able to give ail
the food the animals need. Thia cau
tion, suggested by the Hrreder'e Oa
telle, should be beetled, and when a
drouth comes next summer, tbc dif
ference between the pastures cloecl v
eaten in early airing, and thoae al.
lowed even a week or ten daya longer
growth will be clearly seen,
