THE FARM AND GARDEN.
KPErtAl. CROPS.
Ppccml crops are just now made very
jrotitlile by fnrmers who are able to un
tlprinke their riilturo. We say able, be
cause this ability is an acquired habit,
and dops not "como naturally" to them.
A specialist is a person who gives his
wholo thought aad work to one thing.
It may bo fruit growing, wheat, pota
toes, hops, beans, poultry, sheep, tho
dairy, or any other branch of agricul
ture. Hut the whole man is thoroughly
imbued with enthusiasm in his speci.-l
industry. That ho is successful goes
without snyiiiir, for when ono fails in any
special business it is simply and always
for want of enthusiasm, and tho perse
verance and persistence which grow out
of it. The culture of anv special cron
liecessiutes a certain suitable rotation of '
culture, as, for instance, with potatoes,
which come between two crops of wheat,
with clover and timothy between them.
8uch a rotation, with a liberal manur
ing, made possiblo by feeding largo
crops of hav, is excellent for the soil,
and no surprise need be manifested that
the potato farmer gets rich, (truss and
clover two years, followed by wheat,
manured, then potatoes, then early pota
toes, then wheat, followed by grass and
clover, with good culture, will bring in
an average of at least $50 per acre yearly,
an income which wilt enable any careful
man to accumulate moderate wealth.

SEED FROM J.AHC.E CROPS.
"Whenever an extra large crop of good
quality has been grown it is worth while
to pay more than its market price for
seed from it for future sowing and plant
ing. The old rule, "Like produces like,"
has not been abolished, and, other things
being equal, seed from a good crjp is
likely to produce more and better than
seed from a poor one. AVc always select
tho best ears from corn for planting.
With other grains it is not so easy on a
large scale to select individual plants in
a crop to furnish seed. It is done par
tially by choosing the largest, plumpest
grains and winnows out from tho poorer
ones, but many of the heavy grains may
have been borne by weaker plants. On
a field where the whole crop produces
heavily, the bulk of the seed is presuma-
bly good ; but it may for that reason re- j
quire richer ground and more cartful cul
tivation to maintain its superiority. In I
talking with a farmer recently, he sug
gested that the gradual falling-oil in pro- j
ductiou of the bean crop was owing to j
planting beans that were apparently all
right, but which had been grown from ,
plants producing few pods nud not many
beans in a pod. He believed the pro- j
iiucwy oi me oean crop couui ire enor
mously increased by bree ling up, select
ing seed for a series of years from plauts
that produced most. The experiment is
well worth trying, but it must be remem
bered that if this increased productive
ness is to be maintained, the planta hav
ing this prolific habit must bo duly fed
and cared for. Ameriean Cultivator.
VIOLETS AST) PAXS1KS IN WINTER.
To grow violets or pansies outside of
a greenhouse is considered by practical
gardeners one of the easiest things to per
form. Many florists keep them in cold
frames exclusively, for, as a rule, they
have not room for them in the green
houses, unless a house is built on purpose
for them. They may be grown in pots,
as window plants, provided plenty of air
can be given on sunny days and a steady
temperature, between thirty-five and fifty
five degrees, can be kept up. If kept in
too high an artificial temperature they
will not flower much, but will make up
in red spider what they lack in blossom.
A geranium, a carnation and a monthly
rose may be wintered and flowered at a
low temperature if plenty of sunlight
prevails.
Tho violet wants to be kept cool at all
times if it is expected that it will fulfil
its mission. All this does not imply that
the temperature of a violet house or
frame should never be allowed to run up
to sixty degrees, because sometimes the
heat in the daytime is not always under
control. The sun may sometimes make
the atmosphere under glass warmer than
the gardener would like to have it, but
to raise the sash only one inch would let
the frost in and do more damage than
the heat. Iu such a case a little too high
temperature is tho lesser evil.
A good place to grow violets or
pausies may be constructed at the south
side of a dwelling. Dig a pit two feet
deep along the house. Into this put a
stout frame to receive common hot bed
sash, the sash to lean against the
building. Tear down the Wall that
separates the frame from the cellar under
the house and put a row of windows in
its place. The idea of that is that the
natural heat iu the cellar shall keep your
frame at a steady temperature. At tho
same time you may work over your
flowers, no matter what the outside
weather may be, and when no air can be
given from the outside it may be done
indirectly inside. When the outside
sash is open the inside may be shut.
Thus the sun will warm up the cellar,
and perhaps store up a little heat for the
night. ritilathlihia lieeont.
THE WINTEK CARE OP SHEEP.
Sheep throughout the summer, and
especially through the fall season, should
be kept iu e.eau pastures iu which there
are no noxious weeds whose ripened burrs
will attach to the wool and greatly les
sen its value when offered to the dealer.
Unless such care has been takeu it will
matter but little if any, so far as the
fleece is concerned, whether future care
is exercised or not, for a fleece u I ready
blackened with buns cannot be made
much worse by the dut and chaff of the
hay-mow, or by corralling the sheep on
muddy clay ground. There are still
many months between now aud shearing
time, during which, iu iuot sections,
the treatment of the sheep is to be
radically changed. Instead of running
in pastures aud gathering their own food,
their rations must now be apportioned
to thein at least twice a day, and to pre
vent their fleeces from acquiring foreign
matter during tho long feeding period
even more thun t,he former attention will
be required.
For this purpose the airaugemeuts
should be such that tho sheep can lie fed
without covering themselves with the
chaff and dust of hay, which if allowed
to fall upon them by their own acts while
feeding, or from the careless manner iu
which food is supplied to them, will iu
rvitubly detract many cents per pound
from the merchantable value of the fleece.
A farmer who can aliow to a buyer after
shearing fleeces free from burrs aud the
'list and dirt of tlie wiuter feeding will
be more than compensated forthetroublo
and expense it may have cost him.
The sheep is furnished by nature with
a warm covering, which is ample protec
tion against dry cold, so that, except in
the case of young lambs, tho single cle
ment of cold will be neither uncomforta
ble nor damaging. The homing of tho
flock, therefore, need not bo constructed
with especial reference to warmth, but
ample shelter from rains and sleet should
be afforded. When sheep are allowed to
remain exposed to storms until the fleeco
has become saturated with rain, it is at
once changed from a protection against
cold into an uncomfortable wet blanket
that is not soon easily dried, and be
comes a source of disease.
To keep a flock healthy, tho sheep
must have dry feet. AVhero pigs would
fatten in muddy inclosures sheep would
contract diseases and die. Their out
door winter quarters should therefore be
on ground naturally dry, or made so ar
tificially, and from which the water fall
ing on it will quickly drain off. Not
only should their winter quarters be on
dry ground, but they will always bo
found in the best general condition when
pastured on uplands or rather thin soil.
In tho older sections of this country
sheep-raising can only bo profitable on
cheap, rolling or hilly lands with rather
scanty herbage, but ample area. They
do not flourish" as well on rich soils, be
sides such lands can be moro advantage
ously used.
A sheep-house or shed for winter pro
tection may be cheaply made, from eigh
teen to twenty feet or more wide, and as
long as desired, cither as an ordinary
frame building or with straight sapling
posts set in the ground. The siding may
be of ordinary barn boards set upright
and without battening. Tho spaco for
the sheep below should be just high
enough for a man to walk about in it
without stooping. The floor overhead
should bo of matched stuff to prevent
dust and hay seed from falling through
on the sheep. Hut ween the floor nnd
tho roof should be sufficient spaco for
hay, which can be put in through a door
in the end of the building that can be
most conveniently reached with a wagon.
A narrow space over the hay-rack is left
unfloored.
A manner or trough wide enough for
feeding grain, etc., should run the length
of the building near the back. Over this '
is the hay-rack, so placed that the trough
will catch whatever falls out of the rack.
The front slats should be smooth and
about three inches apart aud incline back
ward a little, so that the dust and hay
seed will not fall on the head and should
ers of the sheep. The back of the rack
should be of smooth boards, at such an
incline as will cause the hay to settle
down against the slats in front. The
open front should face to the south, and
the rain falling on the roof, whether of
a cheap construction or a moro costly
sheep-barn, should not drip from the
eaves, but be led down and away from
he premises. Furmen' World.
FARM AND GARDES NOTES.
Quick fattening is the secret of making
good and tender and profitable beef.
Keep the pigs growing, fat them early.
Small pork brings higher prices than largo
pork.
To feed apples to stock is as profitable
and much more satisfactory than to sell
them to be made into cider.
Those who fasten horses' heads high
up for a long time ought to be placed in
a barber's chair for some hours with their
heads in a similar position. Ono lesson
would be enough.
Shrunken wheat, which is of small
value in making flour, is of relatively
high value as a stock food, because it
contains less starch, and is proportion
ately richer in nitrogen compounds.
Tho excuse for not draining a wet farm
usually is that the owner has no time foi
it; so it goes on, until some enterprising
farmer get possession, drains it, and
makes it one of the best farms in town.
Some one suggests that wild cherrj
trees along the roadsides can easily bt
changed into useful plum trees by top
grafting. He finds that all plums work
well on the wild cherry, which also takct
the peach and apricot buds.
There is no good excuso for raising
burdocks on the farm. Their presence if
a nuisance; their effect uueuding annoy
ance. They can bo killed by cutting
when the burs are fully formed, even tht
roots succumbing to such treatment.
In the Streets of Tripoli.
Iu the variegated crowd filling the
streets scores of types may bo distin
guished : Arabs of the town, draped in
their blankets like Romans in their togas,
and, in fact, the "jaram" is the direct
descendants of the toga and, judging from
its looks, seems to have retained nil the
dirt of thus- intervening centuries; others,
whose costume consists simply of a flow
ing robe, generally white, or, of a pre
cise, which was once white! Sometimes
this robe is of silk of vivid hue, and the
effect of that gay note in a bit of street is
like a poppy in a wheat-field. Bedouins,
whose limbs, wiry and strongly muscled,
shine a superb bronze color through
their scanty coverings, elbow Jews in
ridiculous costumes, half native and half
European. In a few momenta oue has
met with an infinite variety of negroes,
from the pure type almost without nose
aud with enormous jawbones and huge
lips to those whose lineaments are abso
lutely Caucasiau. Porters, iu simple
tunics corded about the waist, carry
heavy swinging bales on long poles rest
ing on their shoulders, cheering their
progress the while with an iuvocation to
Allah nnd his innumerable, prophets,
chanted by an old man and repeated by
the chorus; a true soug of savages burst
ing forth like a fanfare, of trumpets.
Veiled women, voluminously wrapped,
pass by like ambling bundles of clothes.
Officers by scores, those of the new school
still but neat, trying to resemble their
German confreres, since the fashion iu
Turkish circles is to imitate the lions of
the day; the older officers kindly look
ing enough, but iu what miserable cos
tumes! Moorish dandies stroll aud pose
languidly about, seeming absorbed iu pre
serving their immaculate patent-leather
slippers from any impertinent fleck of
dirt. Crafty-featured Greeks and Levan
tines tread their insinuating way amoug
the motley groups. At each step it is a
new tableau, aud the desire seizes you to
stop while the eyes follows a curious type,
aud turning from it with regret you see
ten as interesting.. Scributr.

Sleeplug-Rnoms.
Iu the most of our dwellings the im
portant rooms, as far as the health of the
inmates is concerned, are the kitcheD
and the sleepiug-rooiu. In these two tho
mistress of the house, who keeps no ser
vant, spends the largest part of her life;
but it is to just these rooms that the
least sanitary attention is commonly
paid.
We shall speak now only of the sleep
ing room. Iu this we all spend, oi
should spend, one-third of the day, the
period designed by nature for repairing
the wear of the physical and mental ma
chiuery. Xo greater mistake was evei
made than to look on the time spent iu
sleep as wasted.
We have improved upon such sleeping
rooms as were not unusual a few gener
ations ago; rooms forever unvisited by
sunshine; rooms opening from the
kitchen, so that the spoiled air of the
day was breathed over agaiu by night;
rooms in low, stifling garrets, or, worst
still, mere closets, wholly cut off from
sunshine and from the pure outside air.
But many housekeepers still need hints
on the subject.
1. A sleepiug-room should never be a
small oue, dependent for most of its ait
ou an open window. Such a room is sel
dom safe, and iu eertaiu states of the
weather the air is sure to be shut off.
2. Few rooms are large enough not to
require continuous ventilation. The two
sleepers are constantly vitiating the air.
No air is pure which coutaius an excess
of carbonic acid, aud at every breath a
certain amount of oxygen is converted
into this poisouous gos. Think of twelve
thousand such inspirations during the
night !
Moreover, each breath conveys with thu
carbonic acid aud throws into the air
effete matter thrown off by the lungs,
which is also poisonous.
Nor is even this all. Millions of sweat
tubes are all the time pouring their pol
luted waste into the room. Ventilation,
it is evident, is a hygienic necessity.
3. Sunshine is essential to a good sleeping-room.
Sunshine is a powerful disin
fectant, and every sleeping-room needs
to be disinfected daily. Let the head of
the family appropriate the sunniest room;
the guest chamber, with its occasional
occupant, is of secondary importance.
4. The sleeping-room should be in an
upper sturj'. As the night air cools,
many of the disease-producing parti
cles sink to the lower strata. It is
said that one may live safely i'' a mala
rial region by avoiding the night air and
sleeping above the ground flour.
5. The sleeping-room should be not
ouly one of the most spacious, but oue of
the cheeriest and nearest and best-furnished
rooms in the house. It should be
emphatically "the chamber of peace."

Some Learned Titles.
The term professor is often used iu a
loose fashion to denote generally the
teacher of any branch of learning with
out any reference to a uuiversity. From
the loose way iu which it is applied to
conjurors even it has grown to be a
name without dignity aud without definite
meaning. Originally the term was con
fined to an officer iu a university whose
duty it was to instruct students or read
lectures on particular branches of learn
ing. Iu the early days of universities the
degrees conferred on students were
licenses to act as public teachers. Now
they may be divided into classes; simple
certificates of attainment by competent
officers or authorities, attestiug either
that the school granting them has ascer
tained the fait by examination, or that
the common fame of the individual is such
that the conferring body takes it for
granted ; licenses to teach the branch with
which the holder is certified to be ac
quainted, and licenses to practice a cer
tain piofcs-ion of art. As an academical
title Master of Arts is believed to bo the
oldest. By the canon of a council, held
in Rome iu H2(J, we read of the ap
pointment of masters and doctors.
Gregory IX. 1227 to 1241 is said to
have instituted the inferior rank of bache
lors to denote a candidate who had un
dergone his first academic trials and was
authorized to give lectures, but was not
yet admitted to the rank of an independ
ent master or doctor. It is now the
lowest academical honor. Master of arts
is the highest in the faculty of arts, but
subordinate to that of bachelor of elivin
ity. These titles to be valid must b'j
conferred by some competent authority,
some institution of learuing. Xeto York
