Can or Boner.—lt is necessary,
where ah cep take much dry food in win
ter, that they should have water to keep
them healthy, and there are farmers
who believe that the sheep are not the
beet judged for themselves when they do
not take kindly to water, and that the
mere dry food breeds disease. Farmers
who wish to compel their sheep to drink
are used in many cases to giving them salt
and then offering them water.
Feed and Growth.— ln onr various
experiments on fattening oxen, says an
English farmer, w estimated that about
twelve or thirteen pounds of dry food
w-aa consumed to produce one pound of
increase. In the experiments carried on
many yean ago at Woburn, the follow
ing quantities of food were consumed
to produce 500 pounds increase in a fat
tening ox : One and three-fourths tons
of clover hay, sixteen hundred weight of
corn or cake, and five tons of swedes—
the sum of these would be about equsl
in weight to three and a half tons of hay.

year* ago, cpming into possession of a
patch of hiach*e#p raspberries that had
received the usual shiftless culture, I
treated them fit the following way : Af- 4
ter carefully pipwing and booing them,
I coVerdd the ground with a heavy layer
of strawy manure, and the work was
done, not only for thst year, but for the
two years following, only renewing the
mulch each spring. Only a few strag
gling Canada thistles will ever grow
through such a mulch; the soil is al
ways rich and moist, and the berries
can ask no bettor treatment Since
that time I have tried the aome plan
without removing the sod, and find thst
the result ia quite as satisfactory. Late

Cork Mead and Bran.—Mr. J. S.
Sanborn, Superintendent of the College
Farm, Hanover) N. H., reports experi
ments in feeding cows, giving full do
tails of weights of each kind of feed, of
milk und butter.yield, and the weights
of the animals at the beginning and end
of oaolT ’period. In summing up he
says: “ Meal will make more milk than
bran, I no' longer hesitate : to say. The
change in the butter product ia remark
able ; in changing from meal to bran
there was a lose of 17.7 per oent in the
butter-producing capacity of milk ; in
changing from bran to meal there was a
gain in tire butter-producing capacity of
milk of 21.8 per oent. There is a sub
stantial agreement in the two changes,
for it is a matter of experimental ob
serration that a good oow will moke a
greater change in change of food than a
poor oow." Mr. Sanborn found the teßts
with the cream gauge under change of
food at variance with the actual produot
of butter. “The results in weighing
the cow form an exception to previous
experiments, bran and middling* .cop
ing weight better than meal in this ex
periment Is it a ohanoe result or is it
due to well-defined causes ? I will not
discuss it but observe that it was
not at the season of the year when a oow

was browned, and in different condition

The low prices which such articles
bring nowadays, compared with what
waa cheerfully paid for thorn forty
or fifty year* ago, ia, we think, a sign
that public taste is improving. For in

sold in 1816 for the sum of £730. Doubt
less this is small eom]ml with the
£50,000 which the King of Pegu offered
tho Portuguese as tee ransom of Bud
dha's tooth, now in the Temple of
AdAiu’s Peak in Ceylon. Bnt the one
hit of dentine is of much the same value
as the other, for, though an Owen can
reproduce a mastodon or a megatherium
from a single tooth, the most learned

Adolphus l>y the obsequious city of
Lubcck was sold in 1325 for 58,000

A wig belonging to ft to ml brought

oua he sang so loudly that the surround

morning the King, who was out on n
hunting expedition, spoke to him and
said : “ Why are you so happy, dear lit

“ Why shall I not be?” he answered ;
“ our King is not happier tlum I”
“ Indeed," said the King, “ tell me of
your great possessions."
Tlio lad answered, “ The sun in the

grow and bloom to gladden my sight as

more value than all the precious stones
in the world; I have food and clothing,
too. Am I not, therefore, as rioh as the

“ You are right,” said the King, with
a laugh, “but your greatest pleasure is
a contented heart; keep it so, and you
will always be happy.” —From the Ger

A WIN HOW GARDEN.
If you an nlmndonce of sun
shine you ennhot hope for many blos
soms. A few plants will bloom some
what back from the window; but helio
tropes, geraniums, bouvardios, roses,
require abundance of sunshine. If you
have an abmidanoe of bugs, yon will
know that your plant is ailing. Dootor
your plants, and lice will generally van
ish. Bed spiders appear only where the
atmosphere is too dry. Dost and dirt
on the leaves, closing the pores, also in
duces disease and oalls in the scavengers.
Mildew, and consequent dropping off of
the leaves, indicate* a falsa system of
watering, in connection with a low state
of atmosphere. Great mistakes ore made
in watoring. It seems nearly impossi
ble to induce some plant-lovers trom try
ing to grow all their plants in a marsh.
Few plants oan endure standing in a soil
constantly drenched, or in sauoers of
water. Less damage is done by drought
than by overwatering. A good rule is
to thoroughly drench the soil once in
two days, using water bnt little warmer
than the temperature of the room.
Geraniums especially revolt from super
fluous water. Ageratums and helio
tropes just as decidedly protest against
being in the least dried. The difficulty
in damping-off and mildew are also fos
tered by the exceodingly-rich soil some
times used. It should lie remembered
that a plant or tree can be mods dys
peptic.
“ That's played out,” said a tramp to
a St, Louis lady. “ Don’t give me none
of your games. Yon can raise a couple
>f dollars anywhere. It's not much to
you, but I’m bound to have it, for I’m
out of meat.” “ Poor feilbw,” said the
lady, “ I’m sorry for you; stay here
while I see if I can get you the money.”
She turned away and went through a
middle room into the kitchen, with the
stranger following her. In a comer of
the kitchen sat her sewing-machine, and
she fumbled around in the drawer after
the money with the man watching her
closely. She did not find the money,
but in the back of the drawer she found
her husband’s derringer, which carried
a forty-two caliber cartridge. She
cooked it “What’s that?” he said.
“Oh, nothing,” said the lady, as she
thrust the derringer under Ins nose.
“Only my pistol is loaded, and yours is
not This might go off. Hadn’t yon
better go instead?” “I believe—that
is to Bay I know—you are about right
Hold it down and take your finger off
the trigger. Pm a reaving. ” He backed
out of the house, stumbled down the
steps and ran into a neighboring alley—
the last that has ever been seen of him.

patterns are Turkish, or, rather,

and eight yards long will *m
ploy eight women at once, working
side by side. Their wages are aboit
eight piastres a week, which, it is calcu
lated. comes to about 43 cents for each
yard of carpet woven. Tho wool used
comes from tee villages round abont, and
is bought for about a half-penny a
pound in its uncloaned state. When
washed an<j bleached it loses at least
one-thiiMkfiflks weight The foundation
of the carpet is made of an inferior wool,
and the whole material of the fabrio
may cost alxrat 67 cents a yard. This
docs not include the dyeing, which is
managed by the men, and forms the
chief item of cost. The colors are pro
duced for the most part with madder,
cochineal and indigo.

The simple manners that then pre

an anecdote of the way Mr. Tuckers

him. He was chopping wood one day
in hia yard, with hia sleeves rolled up,
and a tarpaulin hat slouching over hia
face. Suddenly an officer rode up to the
gate and halted, looking aa if ke had
made a mistake.
‘•‘l say, fellow," he shouted, some
what roughly, to the woodchopper; “I
wish you would tell me if the Hon.
Samuel Tucker lives about here.”
“ Honorable! Honorable !” answered
Tucker ; “ there is not a mail of that
name in Marblehead. He must be one of
the family of Tuckers in Salem. I am
the only Samuel Tucker there is here.”
Something about the young man sug
gested to the officer that the commission
which he bore, appointing Samuel
Tucker a Captain in the American navy,
belonged to the wood-chopper. He
handed it to him, and returned to

day, the Boston, falling in with an armed

seizing a musket, took his place among
the marines, and, when Capt. Tucker
ordered him to go below, continued at
his post.

tain, laying hold of the Minister and
forcing him away, “ I am commanded
by the Continental Congress to deliver

If you would destroy the can

nal pain, sore, wound or lame
ness of man or beast, use only
MEXICAN MUSTANG LINI
MENT. It penetrates all mus
cle and flesh to the very bone,
expelling all inflammation,
soreness and pain, and healing
the diseased part as no other
Liniment ever did or can. So
saith the experience of two
generations of sufferers, and
so will yon say when you have
tried the “ Mustang.”
