I 7 Sheep and wool are appreciating in "amine and the oneness or growing them .313 likely to be prosperous for a term 01 years, the point is well taken Just now. {What breeds to use and how to conduct the business depends upon. the object «in view in growing them and the em wironment or surrounding circum- zistances. For instance, it sheep are to {be kept on low ground, the Romney {Marsh breed are the right ones. It the Hand is hilly or mountainous, Meriona are the best. And if on old, Well-culth unrated farm-s near market for lambs, an) not" the Down breeds are suitable. 0n the ranges of the \w est, Southwest and iSouth, UK urescnt sheep need breeding up, and ti. so is not so good a sheep to ebiced up with as the Rambouillets on Trench Merions. To commend them for this purpose are their hardiness. density, firmness, length and weight oi .wool, size or the animals and great pre- lpotency, the pure-bloods having been bred in lin ov*r a. century. ,To- show .the esteem in which they are held on :ihe Western sheep ranches, the ranch- ers last season took the last carload oi rams that mold be found in any locality -in the East. I, 0n Eastern farms, if. a point is to be .‘Inade of growing lambs for market. “without much regard for quantity oi ‘wool, and if there are good enclosed "Winter quarters for them, and succu- dent and rich food, any of the Down breeds or the Dorsets would answer the purpose 'well. Most of. the ewes oi farmers are Merino grades. A cross 01 ,pure-bred Down rams upon them pro- iduces very fine early market lambs; but ;.when the blood of the ewes is mainly ‘of Englisl breeds I would cross them with Ramuouillcts. Sheep do well in Summer where they can get sufiicient herbageeither of fine or coarse grasses. .many of theweeds or leaves of bushes and briars. If their. range is limited, A change of pasture occasionally is de~ sirable, Pue water and constant access to salt are necessary to health. Good clover or fine hay will carry them through the Winter nicely, but a little grain daily from February to g. ass is advisable. Timothy hay is not a suit- able food for sheep. Merino sheep will .xvinter .well on bright straw and a pint of grain. a day. In this case they should be fed a third more straw than they will eat up clean, because they reject the coarse butts. They will not refuse a daily feed of roots or silage. Such w'll ben efit them. but it is not a necessity; ins-with Eaglish sheep. .5 Value of Cool Ashes, \m_.. . 'As a walk around the dWelling of ’down to the barn they are first class. They are good for street crossings and when the pavements are icy, just splen- did. As an ‘improver of roads for 1horses and wagons they come in very handy when the clay subsoil is sticky. But as an improver of clay soils for farm purposes their value is nil. A neigher who hauls out much manure from town claims that he has had enough of coal ashes. He is a gardener and all of his land is now filled with coal cinders which dull his hoes and other tools while working his land. In planting cabbage and tomato plants be has "0 use a stick to plant with. for he say. if a cinder runs against his finger when planting, he has a. sore finger; it does not hurt a stick, J. F. says that “10 to 30 tons of coal ashes may be ap- plied per acre.” Why not use sand to ameliorate the clay instc‘ad of Cinders". We have a soil in some portions of our hills hereubcuts whit-h is filled with fine broken flint. Farmers have no love for such a soil and coal asi as are jusi as bad. My gardener friend tells me that he is going to use sand to amel'or- ate a certain warm spot of clay on his farm. This is interesting and I shall watch it.â€"F. K. S., Festus, Jefferson £30..

There should never be any offensive. odors about the premises; absorbents would be used so freely as to prevent my Smell getting loose to pollute the air. Poultry droppings should be look- Ld after more regularly and the house cleansed. Almost anything seems to be good enough for poultry in this sec- .uon. Nine out of every ten farmers muld make their manure crop onc- mird more with ease. Straw, which is used pleutifully, does not absorb liquid maudre nor does it retain the odor.

No, but Michaél Feeney of Parkvllld can do a stunt worth two or either of those. liis friends say that it really Isn’t so bad; the green’s above the red where it should be and that's some consolation, says the New York Sup. But Michael Feeney himself doesnt see it that way. Patriotism’s all very well in its place, but when a man has bright green hair and red whiskers it's going too far. And besides, these sentiments were not voluntarily ex- pressed; they were forced upon him‘. {This is how it happened: ' Mr. Feeney was strolling along the quiet streets of Parkville when he caught sight of tWO or his friends. Mr, Bill Forker and Mr. Bill Brady, en- gaged in painting the cottage owned by Mrs. Chambers. Mr. Forker was slapping on red paint and Mr. Brady, .was doing the trimmings with groan. > Being artistic by nature, Mr. Feeney. approached the spot, where they were (working. “The top of th’ marnln' to yez," said he to his friends . But the two at work Were engaged in a heated argument and paid no air tention to the interruption. “I "Oi don’t belave it,” said Brady. "Now Oi’m tel in’ yez roight. Why, it's all over the place," said Forker. Mr. Feeney became curious. “Phwat's the news, byes; phwat’s all over the place?" "Mud," says Brady, and the twd @ainters began to laugh. . “Oi suppose that ye mane thot by- way of a~joke,” said Feeney. Then he would be of little value ior - started for the street. Forker slipped: up to his side and drew the red paint brush quickly acrosa his whiskers. As 'the old man turnel upon his decorator Brady slipped up frOm the other side, knocked off his hat, and drew the green paint brush deftly over his head". He was angry at being hit, but never for a moment suspected that he had been painted a B‘Well. - “So thot’s the way ye trate ma friendly advances is it?” said Feeney. Shaking his fist at the two, he turned on his heel and started for home. On his way several persons looked sharp- fly at him and then turned away and snickered. Feeney began to suspect that all was not as it should be, but he was not prepared for the sight that met his eyes when he looked ino the mirror at his home. ‘ “Howly Oireland!" he exclaimed. “’Tis a red and grane Bluebeard there either makin’ of me. The scoundrelsll Oi’ll have the law on this yit." With that determinatiOn Mr. Fee- ney confronted Judge Speers in the‘ Flatbush court yesterday morning. “Hov yez no law for the loikes of lthim, 'your Honor? Is it consthi-. fthooshunal on Long Island to do «paintin’ widout the consint of the painted?" The Court expressed sympathy and promised to see what could be done. }. l.-A nd the Cat-â€" 1.
