£■ ".'""" [FEEDING WOOl^ 4 Sheep's Wool Mast Be Nourished, or It Will Drop Off. Dropping the wool is a frequent trou ble -with sheep. There are many differ ent explanations of this annoyance to the fiook master, but few of these hint at all at the fact that wool must be fed, or it cannot grow, and any failure m its nutrition must result m such a weakness that the fleece fails to keep up its con nection with the skin, and thus drops off as if it were severed—as it really is—at its root. The fleece of a 100 pound sheep makes op 10 per cent or more of the animal's weight, and it consists of a far greater proportion of the most exacting ele ments of nutrition than the flesh of the sheep does. Flesh has 75 per cent of wa ter m it; wool has only 15 per cent. The flesh has m its dry matter the following elements, ana wool has the quantities set opposite to them. Thus the composi tion of flesh is: Carbon, 81.83 per cent; hydrogen, 7.57? nitrogen, 15.01; oxygen, 21.87; ashes, 4.28. Wool—Carbon, 40.65 per cent; hydrogen, 6.88; nitrogen, 17.81; oxygen, 22.11; ashes, 2.0; sulphur, 2.0. Taking into account that the wool has only one-fifth as much water m it as the flesh, it is easily seen that it requires five times as much of the elements of nutrition for eaoh pound weight as the flesh, and thus, if the fleece of a merino weighs 15 pounds, and the carcass, after shearing, weighs 75 pounds, equal quan tities of food are required for the pro duction of each. This is perhaps never thought of by any feeder of the flock, for so far iteeems to have been com pletely ignored by all writers upon sheep husbandry, and yet the importance of it is paramount. The common ignorance of these urgent demands of the fleece for special nutriments is doubtless why the sheep suffers so much from the exhaus tive requirements of the wool. As the fleece must be supplied after the animal itself, the wool suffers while the sheep escapes, at least to some ex tent, and as the wool cannot exist with out its necessary accompaniment of the yolk and grease, which naturally pro tect it from injury by the rains, heat or cold, this is to be considered as calling for requisite nutriment as well as the actual body of the animal. It is worthy of note, too, that as wool contains con ■ siderable sulphur this is also to be pro vided m the food. Every time the sheep is underfed or suffers from any other cause, it appears m the wool, the fiber of which shows a thin place m it, and each of these weak spots represents a fault m feeding or other part of the management. This weakness m the fiber is ruinous to the wool, as it causes it to break m the card ing or combing, and thus become too short for the spinner and fit only for felting. This defect is known by the woolen manufacturers and buyers aa "break" and makes it unsalable. Con sequently the matter of feeding and the regularity of it are special points to be regarded by the shepherd. Yet it must not be supposed that the wool only suf fers. The sheep must necessarily suffer, for the damage to the wool is only one of the visible signs of injury to the whole animal. In estimating the amount of food nec essary for a sheep, all these points are to be taken into account, and the gross weight of the animal is to be increased for estimating the allowance of food by the proportion to be added on account of the extra dry substance of the fleece. To be on the safe side, it will be quite reasonable to add to the live weight of the sheep fully 100 per cent—that is, to double the weight and estimate the ra tion accordingly. The normal allow ance of 8 per cent of dry matter per 100 pounds of carcass may thus be doubled without any fear of overfeeding.—S. Henry m American Agriculturist, Live Stock Points. "Wisconsin mutton leads the world, 1' Is the jubilant announcement of the Cotswold, Oxford and Shropshire breed ers of that state. Their announcement is based on the statement that at the Columbian exposition Wisconsin took more sheep prizes m proportion to the number of animals exhibited than any other state m the Union or any province of Canada. Canada got away with an appalling lot of cheese prizes, however. Sandy soil with an undulating surface is one of the best kinds for poultry. Winter lambs are usually wanted to be born m December. To make them ar rive on time the best ewes to breed are 2-year-olds that have had no lamb be fore. To lamb the first of December they should be bred m June to an old ram if possible. When necessary to breed old ewes for winter lambs, they should first be made to skip one season and not be bred till summer. If you have not planted trees to make shade for your stock m the pasture fields and around the spring, now is the time to do it. Plant the trees, take care of them a few years, and you will be richly rewarded. Get those that grow rapidly And spread their branohes far out. Even fruit trees can be made to answer this purpose of shade if their branches are trimmed up out of reach of the animals. There will be a December show of fat stock at the Union stock yards, Chicago, early m the month. Don't forget that. J. S. Woodward, a breeder of market lambs, says he has found Dorsets hardier than Shropshires. They are certainly more prolific. Eight pounds of wheat a day is the proper quantity of concentrated food for a dairy cow. An old mare will pay off a mortgage, and this has often been done. One farmer wipes out the mortgage by means of hogs; with another the cow pays it, while still another accomplishes the same result with small fruit culture or rearing early lambs. Each farmer must study the situation for himself, taking note of his soil, of the markets, distance from market, what products are mo;it lalablein his part of the country an .1 finally of what particular branch of farming at live stock rearing he like* lest and vt >most successful m. This last is by no means a small consideration.

HOW TO MANAGE A H©KS&~ < Bhftag, Kicking and Shouldering 6om« ol the Worst Faults. To cure shying the best thing to do U to remove a horse's blinders, if yourhar neSrt oarries these disgraceful adjuncts, and give him a chance to see clearly; If yon note the symptoms of alarm m time, distract the horse's attention by speaking encouragingly to him, and If j necessary by two or three sharp taps with the whip, administered before, nev er after, the object is passed. What the creature needs then are encouragement and praise, for he has done right and not (Wrong. If you oan get him to go up to tod smell it, his fear is usually con quered. The thing to do is never to let a horse turn back from anything he fears, Get him past it m some way, by coaxjn| p* driving. In an extreme cafle ilijjiW^ be necessary to lead him, though thki§.,to be deprecated, but get him pasts i% wad that, too, at a slow rate of sjjseed> JjTever let him rush by anything he is ntyM of. X quiet firmness m using the methods does not cause a change for the better, it is because the animal's sight is, de fective, and all that can be 'clone is io note $c presence m the road 61 objjeofs that bis fanlty vision maj olothe with terror and be on your gnatd.

He won't like toi? and will remember the lesson when h« again feels like kicking* If caught m the stall by » fh^Wef" ing b, orse, the only thing to do is wMcik his knees and pinoh his noise, wlwoh will cause him toretreat. Your strength will avail you nothing against his. If mounted on ths offender, you can restd* ily defeat his object by turning bis head to the wall instead of from it* How «p 801 l Ham. Wash a ham well. Put In «* and fill with cold wate», add 6 blades of mace, a dozen oloves, 6 peppe? corns and an ivy leaf. Place over a sj.ow;fire and let come to a boil gradually) sMm and simmer gently 15 minuteft to ths pound. When done, les cool i% the liquor, take up, remove the skin, brtish over with beaten egg and dredge with grated Thread crumbs and byowa .NjW Set |» the oven to bfown, Gamisnwith parsley. How to Preserve Belting. The strength of old belting is now re newed or augmented so as to greatly lengthen its service. Toaccompyfehthis two large, hollow copper cylinders lire provided, and into these steam is ad mitted, so that they are always Vated. In a tank is a solution composed oi bees wax, borax, glue, starchy and molasses, prepared m equal quantities, and therd are guide rollers, through which runs tlje leather bel^ing-which is m process of treatment. The belt which is to be operated upon is started into the ma chine at a point where it can enter the tank, and while passing through the latter the leather receives an application of the solution. The press rollers imme diately squeeze the compound into the fiber of the leather, and then the heat from the cylinders over which the belt ing is being drawn dries the compound. All the rollers and oylinders rest m the bearings. As represented, the^ applica tion of this compound to the belt, and immediately drying, is to add strength to the fiber of the leather m a remarka ble degree. How to Stew Onions. After paring the onions allow them to stand m cold water one hour; then put them m boiling salted water and boil rapidly for $ye minutes; then change the water. Do this twice more, and the onions when cooked will b^ more delicate, but they will no doubt have lost some of their valuable proper ties. How to Make New Toilet Covers. If a room needs new toilet covers after the spring housecleaning, make them from white cotton point d'esprit laid over a color and edge each piece with a frill of the same, run with a baby ribbon. A set seen recently was of white over pale orange. Cut a piece of white muslin or cheesecloth the size of the top of the dresser and other places for which you want the covers, lay over a thin layer of cotton sprinkled with vio let powder, then tack on a covering of colored sateen. Cut the piece of lace considerably larger than the linings and catch the extra fullness here ana there to the lining, so that when finished toe lace will lie up lightly and have a slightly crumpled look. Make a wide frill of the laoe, turn m a wide hem, and over the hem and just above iif#" on the baby ribbon. Set on the trill with a heading. Make a cover for your jnnoushion, if you use one, m the game way, but without any lining. How to Make a Puree of Peas. One quart of green peas or two pint cans, a tablespoonful of butter, a bay leaf, % cloves, a pint of milk, a pint of water, a tablespoonful of flour, an onion, a sprig of parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Wash the peas m cold water* then put them m a saucepan with the Water and boil 20 minutes. When done, they should be almost dry. Press through a colander. Put the milk on to boil m a farina boiler. Add the bayleat onion, cloves and parsley. Rub the but ter and flour together until smooth. Strain the milk into the peas; then re turn to the farina boiler, stir m the but ter and flour and stir continually until it boils and thickens; then add the sail and pepper B2id sorve. _
