Couldn’t Shave a Bit. When the famous arehmologist came into the club yesterday afternoon his erudite countenance was ornamented at several points with sticking plaster, and there was a general enquiry among his friends as to what was the matter. “ Razor," said the professor briefly. “ Good graciousl Where did you get shaved? " asked one of the younger members sympathetically. “ It’s a strange thing," said the man of learning. “ I was shaved this morn- ing by a man who really is, I suppose, a little above the ordinary barber. * I know of my own knowledge that he took a double first-class at. Oxford; that he studied in Heidelberg afterwards, agd spent several years in other foreign e ucational centres. I know, also, of my own knowledge that he has contrib- uted scientific articles to our best mag- azines, and has numbered among his intimate friends men of the highest social and scientific standing in Europe and America. And yet," soliloquised the savant, “ he can't shave a man decently." “By jovel " exclaimed the young member, in astonishment. “ What is he a barber for, with all those accom- plishments ? " “ Oh, he isn’t a barber," said the bookworm, yawning. “ You see, I shaved myself this morning."â€"--Anszoers. â€"â€"-â€"-â€"w Hans’ Savings as a Legislator. A Pennsylvania senator told the other day an anecdote to illustrate the high standard of political morality in the Keystone state. There was an old Dutchman, a farmer, thrifty and pros- perous, who had been carefully saving for many years. Finally he was elected to the legislature. It was a peculiarly profitable session. There were several railroad charters up for consideration. Hans served faithfully, never broke silence, and always voted; and after the legislature had adjourned he sur- prised his friends at home by laying the foundation of a 810,000 house, while there wcrc rumors of a $20,000 bank deposit. . " Have you had a legacy, Hans ? " 1‘de a neighbor at last. “ Oh, no," was the reply. “ I have only been saving." “ But how could you manage to save 330,000 on a three months' salary of 83 a day ? " “ Ah," responded Hans complacently, “that was very easy. You see my wits didn't keep a hired girl last winter." --Borton Advertiser. . That 'l‘ro blesome K. There have been many estimable people whose stumbling block has been orthography, and it has sometimes been an almost insurmountable obstacle. There was once in eastern Tennessee a judge well versed in the law. but on. tircly self-educated, who had this same ‘ obstacle of orthography to contend with all his days. In early life he had lived in Knoxville, and for a long time in- sisted on spelling the name Noxville. llis friends at last educated him up to the point of adding the K; so thor- oughly, in fact, did he learn this lesson that when, a few years afterwards, he named to Nashville. nothing could prevent him from spelling the name Knashville. After a few years' residence there the judge unmoved again, this time to Murfrecsbom. One day he sat down to write his first letter from this place. He scratched his head in pcrplexity for a moment, and finally exclaimed : “ Well, I'll gift: it upl How in the world can they spell the name of this place with a K? "â€"C‘Incinnnti Curt-l avert-in!

" ~a __ - Referring to Mr. Havcmeyerr‘s plan of “ putting new life into the Jerseys ". by crossing them with Simmeothai bulls, Mr. S Hosic writes in the Amer- ican Agricultun'st: The impression is strong that. Mr. l’lavcmcycr might have found breeds nearer home more suitable for his purpose. The Ayrshire is a beautiful animal. of unqut-stiOned health and stamina; the cow gives nearly or quite as much milk as the Simmcuthal, and it is as rich. The Red Polled, with equal stamina, is not behind in any dairy quality. And last, though not least, the Holstein-Friesian gives as rich milk and more of it. One of the largest breeders in Culiforuiu writes that. he has largely crossed the Holstein- Friesian on other cattle. He says, “ I have a half-bred Jersey and Holsteinâ€" thoroughbred on both sidesâ€"which produced 662:} lbs. of butter last year by the Bubcock test." I have advo- cated the crowing of breeds for several years, and have made enquiries on tl 8 subject. From what information I am able to gain and from my own limit- ed experience, I am led to the tentative conclusion that a cross of medium weight Ilolstico-Fresiun bulls with Jersey cows is a success. A cross thus made by me resulted in no difficulty of birth, and the produce was a large and very rich milker. I sold her to a large dairy- mnn, who has often said to me, “ She was the best cow I ever owned.” I cannot recommend the opposite crossâ€"- that ofJerscy bulls on Holstein Fricsinn cows. As breeders say, "it does not seem to be a good nick." o -e»~â€"â€"â€"~â€"_ A Prolific Breed of Sheep. ~ The Shropshire branch of the Down family partnkes of the general charac- tcristice of the Southdown, although much heavier both in fleece and body and also more robust. It is said to be the most prolific of all breeds of sheep, the average rate of increase in some flocks of Shropshires oltcn being 150 per cent., while the product from the cross ofthc Shropshire rum on half-breed long~wool ewes frequently reached 200 per cent. Of course the increase in any breed is materially modified by the nature of the land, quantity and quality of food, and the general cure and man- agement of the flock; and no greater mistake can be mode with regard to sheep husbandry than to suppose that heavy fleeces. good mutton and a large number of strong, healthy lambs can be produced from barren land and scanty food. No animal whatever can thrive without a good supply of proper food. The prolific tendency of the Shropshire ion point of great importance with the breeder, as it. materially increases the profit in furnishing early lambs for the market. They are also good mothers, and generally have an abundance of milk for their young, in this respect differing from many of the large breeds. The Shropshire hasa longer face, of uniform dark tint, than the Southdown, a full and spirited eye, spreading ears of good size and a forehead rather flat and well woolcd. Their fleece weight is generally from five to seven pounds. The meat is like the Southdowos in fineness of texture, the presence of fat in the tissues and richness of color. 'l‘hese sheep are hardy in moist climates and will endures wide range of soil and fccding. They are peculiarly adapted for crossing on native sheep, and readily impress their desirable qualities upon their prOgeuy.â€"â€"Amcri~ can Agricultun‘st. »-a-e About Pasturing Grasses. Orchard grass alone is not as satis. factory for hay as timothy. The hay from orchard grass is more difficult to cure just right, does not sell for as much as timothy, and is not relished as wall by stock as timothy or clover or a mixture of the latter two. For pasture it is greatly superior to timothy. It comes early, lusts all through the season, and is even good when bluegrass or timothy is dried up. It is a good plan to have a field of orchard grass to pasture from July to October, when the bluegrass is short. In fact, orchard grass supplements bluegrass admirably. We have out orchard grass for seed in June and pasturcd it from July until October. By that time the bluegrass llnd grown up and was ready to carry the stock in good shape until snowfall. Orchard grass will not stand the close pastur- inf,r that bluegrass will, especially when the weather is frosty. With a pasture of bluegrass and one of or- chard grass, more stock can be car- ried than on the same number of acres in bluegrass alone, and a crop of orchard seed grass extra can be obtained. In such case the stock has to be taken off the orchard grass in October and kept off until July. Dur- ing this period the bluegrass is at its best and the orchard grass will make its crop of seed. . __~...._ uâ€"a...’ .m “a.m....” ..... now-m - m - 4v»- ... .. ..
