The days of routine farming are or
ought to be past. The farmer who will
fueceed now, must not only know how to
do things correctly, but he,must know
why he does things thus and so.

in our schools, college*, and universities,

give fectly clean water to your stock ; be per¬

ducing butter; market it while fresh,

guarantee the value will rise to an aver¬

Importance of Breeding SiiEEr.—
However much by judicious manage
moist we may enable a flock to produce
woo! under the most favorable cireum
stances, it is perfectly clear that the
natural character of ,the breed will be a
very important agency ; management
will go far to favor the growth of wool,
but it certainly cannot do all we need,
Hence the importance of securing sheep
v, iiiyii.are of a suitable breed, and from
which we may be sure to obtain wool of
tho desired quality and weight. Tlie
value of a long-continued and careful
bacedtng is shown as forcibly in the wool
as in the general which, for form several of the body.
These flocks success
sive generations, have maintained one
steady and uniform character of wool,
offer the best source from which to
breed when it is desired to improve the
wool of any flock. The buyers should
not look for rams suitable lor this pur¬
pose without duly considering the prev¬
ious history of the flock from which they
may be selected. Many a sheep pos¬
sesses the external qaliftcations desired
—so far as the eye is able to judge—but
unless the flock from which it has been
obtained has been carefully fed, the
buyer The will probably be disappointed.
value of good wool is a strong in¬
ducement for making its growth as
abundant and as good as the local cir
cumstanoes of a farm will allow.
F arming in California. —A corres¬
pondent of the Chicago Tribune, who
has recently been journeying from Cali¬
fornia to Los Angeles, writes as fol¬
lows ; “ Looking from the car across the
great agricultural seotion, the range of
the eye is bounded only by the distant
mountains, while a broad expanse of
waving grain, covering many thousand
square miles of level land, lies between.
Nowhere else is farming prosecuted on
such an extensive and scientific scale,
and the quantity of wheat and barley
produced each year is something enor
mous. To the Eastern tourist, the lack
of fences, roads, and homes is surpris¬
ing. For miles and miles on each side
of the road nothing but wheat-fields are
seen, and the play of light and color
upon the standing grain exceeds iu
beauty the best tints of the most famous
artists. On every ranch is seen farming
machinery of whose value the Eastern
farmer preparing is scarcely the yet ground, aware. Gang-plows centrifugal
for
sowers for scattering the seed, combined
plows and sowers, giant headers for cut¬
ting, and costly separators for threshing,
combined headers, threshers and sacking
wagons— there are the implements
it^ employed.

Sorrowing for the Bead in Africa,
The beating of the drum announced
that the dance was about to begin. The
men arranged themselves rU-a-vi* with
the women, as in a ballet dance in a Eu
rapean theater. The dance opened l.y on
advance of the women, who kneeled he
fore the men and then retired. The men
the next advanced, slapped each other on
tliieli, knelt and withdrew. After a
pause both men and women went
through “The a figure somewhat resembling
Lancers.” Tlie women displayed
some snd simultaneously peculiar contortion of the limbs,
the men passed in
and out between tho contortionists,
This was only tlie prelude to a more ex
citing scene—a verv liwlv dance not mi
like the French can-can accompanied hv
savage gesticulations. Some of the
men threw themselves violently on the
ground; others crawled about "on all
Fours,” while the women set down clasp
ing their knees with their hands. Sub
■equantly the women formed a circle,
and then retired into line joined by the
men. The dancers ried with each other
in grotesque contortions, and the one
who succeeded tlie best was the loudest
applauded. m'to Every playfand ioint and muscle wus
brought at intervals the
men and women would drop out tore*
fresh themselves with millet and beer.
In this way the “sorrowing for the
dead ” was kept up throughout the night

or too little living in self. The courte

politeness is a tender thoughtfulness of
