The Goat as a Town Animal

It is doubtful whether complete 1 justice has ever been done to the goat at an animal of Sparcau simplicity of *aßte», a hardy liver, and a despises* of luxurious and pastoral surrounding. Of its capacity for consuming old boots, disused meat tioe, t*nd waste paper much has been written and sung Who has not heard those thrilling lines Which run "From busy haunts of men remote la lonely grandeur stands the goat , It hears the muttering of the storm, And eats the coal to keep it warm V It is not generally known, however, that the simple, rugged ways of this animal are due less to heroic resolution than to the fact that ease, luxury, end pleaianfc surrounding are actually inimical to its health, In a rich pastoral country abounding with smooth lawns and succulent vegetation the goat pinea ar.d dies! Put it on ft barren expanse of slag and ironstone in the Black. Country,, or. on, some dreary and sterile stretch of land in North Britain, and it will thrive and flourish. A London mews is an earthly para dise for the goat. It cares not a rap for trees, grass, and hedgerows. Its health is most vigorous and its milk most plentiful and excellent; when it dwells amid the bricks and motar and promenades the flagged payments of a town. This fact -and it is literally true— suggests that sufficient is not made of fche goat as a pet animal for town dwellers-—a sort of poor man's cow. Its acoomodating habits aa regards diet, its hardy nature, the amusement it affords by its gambols (after its horns have been removed or judiciously padded), are all points in ils favour. It is the only animal of its kind that is improved by city life, and which can bs maintained at a trifling expengo. (Ab an instance, we may quote the case of a goat in the possession of a London bill-aoicker which is frequently fed on old posters, the paste in which is ex ceedingly nourishing.) If a perusal of this article results in one more goat being removed from the enervating atmosphere of the country districts to the salubrious air of a London alley, ,the present writer will not have written in vain.—Home paper.

INTERESTING WHEAT EXPERI MENT

An American farmer describes a very interesting experience with wheat, l! it is so much at variance wittx my previous ideas on the subject, that I think it may be of interest. In 1898 I observed in the middle of my field of Golden Chaff wheat one stool which was heeded out more than a week in advance of that about it. It was a foot t*ller s and had larger heads than the other. There we.c six heads, contain ing 274 kernels of baid red wheat. I planted them in a little plot by them selves, where there had been no wheat raised for many years, and though I hat 1 other wheat in the vicinity, I know ttiero was ao mixing of seed, f r I conducted j every -operation myself from beginning i to end. In 1899 L harvested from this little plot as mixed a lot of wheat es ever I saw. Somo of it was dark red, gome clear white, and the rest every possible shade of colour between the two I sorted it carefully, grain by grain, putting the red, the whiie, and the mixed shades, (about one half of it) each by itself 1 sowed thtse again in adjacent pio's, taken special cere not to mix the seed, I have just harvested the crop, about 30 large bundles, and I have the same mult as in 1899. The wheat is of ail shades, from pure white to dark red indiscriminately, without regard to what I sowed. I have harvested red wheat where 1 have sowed white only, ami white wbeat where where I have sowed ivd only, and all shadf-s between mixed up together. It is an extra ear'y strong strawed, bald wheat--, which was fully headed out this yoar by June 1, from 10 days to two weeks in advance of other wheat in the vicinity. It was sown September 16. I shall sow it again this year, and make no attempt to separate it into different varieties. "

Golf For the Home.

An ingenious machine has been in vented by Messrs Anderson «fe Ander son, of Sfc Paul's Churchyard, whereby the game of golf is brought to the home of would be players and those stricken by 'golf fever/ By means of this new machine the game may be played in a room or in an ordinary garden The ball is threaded to the end of a short rope which is affixed to the handle of the instrument. When the ball (which is placed on a ' tee') is struck fcbe handle whizzes round, aud an mdi cator registers the number of yards the ball would have travelled had it been free. If played indoors an ordinary carpet serves the purpose of a ' green,' while a hole is improvised by a saucer like contrivance By way of inaugurating the new in vention Messrs J H Taylor and J Braid played a. game lately on tho premises of Messrs Anderson, apian of the Wimbledon |huks being used for the occasion. Braid eventually won the game by six up.— Daily Chronicle.

Spring.

The birds begin again to sing; Oace more the soft, sweet; bratzis blow- Earth fllnsja asilo her robe of hvow And bare^ her bosom to tne spring. Now dirts the nan his shafts of gold, That trembling, shoot across the sky, Toe dreary days are drawing by; The winter's tale is nearly fold.

There ia a barber in New York who makes a specialty of shaving women. He has a number of regular customers. In speaking of his customers ha Bald :—'lhey don't want depilatories.

Her complexion ia smooth and clear ;uid her skin fine and firm.. She eonld have her whiskers [permanently re moved by preparation or by the needle, bat she preisra to bg slaved.
