'Nonsense,' Raid Mildred: 'You'll

'Were there many people about ?'
asked mamma. •
'Yes,' I sighed.
Papa clinched the decision, 'The only
way you can recover it will be by bdver
tiaing the full }aloe of the ring as
ward. • I'll itusgrt an advertisement in
to-morrow's issue.'
So the advertisement appeared in due
time and form:
liost.l Near the—Lake, Central
_ , Park, a lady's ring inside of glove, with
small ruby in s old-fashioned setting.
The finder will be rewarded with full
value of ring ily returning to 26 NV--

Qf course I watched • from the win
dows, and listened .for the door-bell
with rapt attention all the day following,
and part of the next. My vigilance
was rewarded the'next day, by the ap
pearance of one individual. Now there
was a remarkably low tete-a-tete in the
reception-room,' with a remarkably
feeble set of springs in possession. We
kept it in a corner-sad • did not banish
it entirely, because really it was a COM
fort to such of us' fetninines as did not
chance to be very 'ample or- lengthy.
But - I will notdeny that.we petite femi
nines were aware certain individuals were
victimized for our reference. An awk
ward person invariably finds.his way to
a remote corner—and awkward persons
showed to least advantage on that sofa.
It had beeotne a Private=a very priiate

gradually sank

and more.important pareof the human
structure was lost to view. - -
This afternoon, then,, -after quickly
observing that no prominent occupiable
seat presented the expected human
presence; I was not' unprepared to find
my visitor entrapped, and making fran
tic struggles to emerge as I advanced.
The -first impression I received, was
what a remarkable length of limb the
person presented below the knee; for I
bad accustomed myself to measure the
height of the individual by.this snare,
and either that person was remarkably
short above the knees, or had dropped
suddenly to sleep. My first impression
was correct.- The person cfma remark-,
ably brief above the hips, and present

very ambitions pair of shoulders, topped
by a flat cloaely shaven he.ad, whose
eyes and 'forehead seemed subservient

ed very well my idea of a Chatham

He allowed me a ring 'with a large
ruby stone of quite modern setting.

'That is not my rang,' and wished
'mamma would come in, as not

did itot leave me now I should be afraid

thought. Mamma entered at this lune

marole. She glanced, at the man and
the ring, cleared her throat, and out

'That is not the ring for

advertised, I believe that is all that is
necessary.' -
He looked at her, took up his bat and
advanced' to the • door, propelling his
heavy shoulders as if they were distinct
from his body.

Fifty to sixty y a ago. every farm,
howeier small, bad its 'ttle flock of
sheep; to 'supply the finnily wool and
the Material for - knitting the family
_ .
stookiage. In almost evezy fazzn-honse
the humiaing of the big wool-wheel.
wbich manufactured the yarn, could be
heard,' at som e distance from th e . house;
and everyw here stockings were being
knitted, for family use. They were not
very but they • were thick and
warm arid wore two or three times as
long as the present lachinemade arti
cles, This flock of sheep 'FRS always
the' pets of the 'farm. Their feed coot
next to ,pothingi.- Pasture-fields which
cattle could no longer graze, *ere just
what the sheep-preferred. Every, hole
and corner they nipped clear of grass;
and in , the winter the poorest hay and
a little silt kept them in a good' condi
tion, while the lambs not only kept 'up
the stock - but furnished all the mutton
requirc& in the family. - Tie knitting
machine had not yet msde its appear
ance, a id each family which could not
afford tb supply its . wants from the
costly foreign manufactured' articles'
were thus to provide for itself.
The little girls in a familywere taught
to knit as soon as they were able to
handle the needles, and hence 'the cost
of the supply of stockings for the family
was quite Inconsiderable—in fact; it
took no ready cash from the farmer's
pocket.
Now, the keeping of , sheep is exten
sively Pursuid. _espee:taly on large ,
farms. where portions orY the land is
hilly. rocky and unfit for cultivation,
Here sheep thrive finely. and where
systematically managed they are the,
most profitable branch of the entire'
farm. The best breeds " are used, or
ought to be-;that is, for_ both wuol and
carcass; and we may add that just as
sheep-husbandry„ better and better
understood, the mitre extensively will
it be „introduced. 'Our - western and
northwestern farmers, where this branch
is rapidly increasing beyond other sec
tions are abundantly satisflea that in
many , respects the flock of sheep is' , the.
best helper, not only 'in filling the
purse, but in keeping up the .conditiou
of the land, without really any actual
expense. that is within reach of the,
hustmuidnian. Ono thing shohld, there
fore, be remembered by farmers who
have cnitable land at their command;
that they make a very great mistake and
submit to an annual loss of more "im
portance than they imagine in the

The pmduction of eggs is, a thing ,
desired by - every ; poultryma n, and is
one of the most profitable branches of
the poultry bushiesi: Ordinarily every
hen will lay h certain amount of eggs in
the year, but with proper food and
care they will lay more than liireglect?,
ed,and forcedio search for thOr own
living. The production of eggs is a
great drain on the hen. Darinf laying
time• from one any a half to twill ounces
of_ highly concentrated food is secreted
I ttirough-the tissues every day ot every
other day. Four ounces of solid food
is the average amount consumed daily,
which shows almost an equal amount
needed for egg production and toy sup
ply nourishment'and wastes of the body.
To the thinking mind this is well known,
and few persans, keeping poultry, whO
have a-live fdr their feathered flocks,
and desirous of gaining Some things by
their keeping, but do feed and care for
them well, obtain the best . results.
A desirable food for lasing bens must
consist 'of grain in variety, wheat, grass
seeds, oats, barleY, corn and buckwheat
wheat and buckwheat being best. But
to keep up flesh, muscles and heat, oats,
barley and corn are necessary to keep
them thrifty at all times. Corn should
be used sparingly, particularly in sum
mer, as it is too healthy and. drying to
blood and tisanes, but with other grain
in cold Weaiber-it is desirable and cheap,
and fowli i i like it much better than other
grain: ;Vegetables. 'and calcateoug

production, and fresh moats occasional..
