The purple varieties are not mentioned, but they are coming into favor for ciinriiiig. in flavor they are super- ior to the red when canned, while their dark, rich color makes them moio attractive for this purpose.

A sheep should never be caught by its wool. This method not only causes the animal unnecessary jiain, but in tho case of fat sheep, that are to be killed, it does much harm to the joint of mutton that lies underneath whore the wool was pull- ed. It causes a bruise just in tho same manner us our bodies become discolored from oeing bruised. A sheepman advises that tho proper way to catch a sheep is to take either by the hind log just above the gambrel joint, or by putting the hand undernouth its jaws or neck. In using a crook it is important that the sheep aro not caught below tho gambrel joint, as injury to the leg is liable to result from this. HOW TO CLEAN THE CHURN. A churn cannot bo made clean with a dirty cloth, and a cloth of this kind is one of the best known places for breeding disease germs, and these may be washed from the seams of the pans of corners of the churn. It takes only a few minutes to wash the cloths in cold water, and then they should be put in a strong pearline suds and allowed to boil for at Ic.ist 20 minutes, thou they should be rinsed and hung out in the air and sunshine, and if this is done every few days the cloths nnd he always kej>t wiiite and sweet smelling. LABOK ON THE FARM. Any farmer who depends altogeth- er on the seasons nnd hard work for success in his business, niay make some sort of a living and even increase his small capital by natural increment, but he will never merit the appellation of a successful farm- er. Industry is a good trait of character, but often a good degree of that which looks like laziness loads to bettor results. For in- stance, a man may be so lazy that ho habitually works hard on labor saving contrivances, by which he can nccomi)lish greater results with less labor, do mon- and hotter work with less phjsical e.xertion. He may be so lazy that he will do no work in a slip shod manner, for in that case he would have to do the work over again. No farmer can be suc- cessful unless he docs a largo amount of mental labor, and mental' labor saves physical labor, and makes v. hat ph.vsiciil is necessary fur more er.octive. The very best work at the voiy best time cannot be done by unaided physical effort. To do such work, requires deep and persistent study. KTTCHKN APRONS.
