y»r«t Tree Planting

There are certain of oar forest trees which are easily moved, at either spring or antntun othirs must be very carefully prepared for transplanting. The black walnut makes a most superb lawn tree, or a tres for roadside shade, but it is hard to move with out {.reparation. The same is true of many of the oaks, and, in a measure, of the sweet gum (liquidambar), llack bircb, ash and tulip tree, whiie the maples and elms, the basswood, white birch, pin oak (from the swamps), and of course, willows and poplars, may be moved when the leaves are off, without much painstaking. The pre para tion which the above-named trees require, is such root pruninz, that masses of fibrous roots may be thrown out close to the stem. The tree selected should be small, say, having a stem not over two inches through. The tap root—for a strong tap root will usually be found going perpendicularly into the ground (often larger round than the stem of the young tree) must be cut off some months before transplanting. One can take away the surface earth around the tree, dose to the stem, so as to see where strcng lateral roots are thrown out. Then between two of these, and close as possible to the stem, dig down about ten inches deep, and with the band clear away tho soil from the tap root Then take a long framing chisel, cut it off about afoot below the turfaco, and replace the earth around the stem. After tbo tree has recovered from the shock, which it will -quickly do, unle?s the weather is excessively hot and dry—in which case a pail or two of water will help it—the lateral roots may be -cut off. This is best done with a sKarp spade, not cutting all at once, unless the tree is small and the roots numerous When tho leaver fall in autumn, or before they -come in sprin?, the treo may be taken up with a ball of earth, and it will do as well as an elm or maple. Even hickorie3 may to moved in this way, but they need fully six months preparation. And while you are

Shropshire Sheep.

Shocp and wool will rise in valuo ogain in due time. They are bound to. It is to the farmer's interest still to ''bother" with this kin 01 farm stock and wait for pool times, ile con perhaps better afford now thin at any other time to experiment with sheep, in breeds, feed*, ete.

SHROPSHIRE BIIJCEP.

In England l^-yond a doubt the coming wool anl mutton producer is the Shropshire. It is descended and baa been improved from a very aucieut horned breed of black-faced and b:ack-legged shocp. Animals ninrlar are found in the Highlands of Scotland at this time, where tho best mutton in tho world is grown. '1 he Sbropshires are little known in Amorica. Attention of iarmers and breeders ought to bo brought to them. They are so popular in Great Britain that at the last Royal Agricultural show there were 875 Shropshire! to 430 or all othor breods put together. Over there thu broxl is called tho "rent-paying shoep." A late description say of it: "They may well be called models of beauty. They have a small, woll dovoloped bend with bright faces and kindly eyes muscular neck, well set on a pair of very lino shoulders, remarkable hams, supported on flue, trim legs, and in turn with the shoulders, supporting a square, doep, finely proportioned body, the whole well covered with a fleoco of fine staple, long, and in Kjvery wnv desirable wool.

The Shropshire has all the good qualit.es oi the fcouth Down, with theie in addition: It has considerably more si aw and carries a larger proportion of lean meat with much less of fat it hai smaller heal and legs, more wool on its belly, and wool of a greater length and of a better quality. Annthor good point over the South Down is its strong constitution and ability to bo kept and fed in larger flocks. It also has greater fecundity and will breed earlier in tho spring, and, lastly, it will thrive over a much greater extent of (ouutry and under more adverse circumstances."

A Flow.

A breast plow is serviceable for many purposes. It can bo used for cutting sod*, for donning tho surface of swamps, and remov-

BRJSA8T PLOW.

tog the mot* and tangled weeds which cover such wet grouud. It is excellent for cutting up thistles when in thick patches, and for plowing up plain tains or other stiff weeds which are thick on tho grouud. It may also be used for clearing fenc rows of tho mass of wends thai often cumbers such places. Those weeds, when thus loosened from tho aoil, will make most excellent material for compost heaps. This tool is made like a round pointed shovel, with the sides turned up two inches, and is fitted to a stout handle, which has a cron handle for the bands, and a padded saddle to push upon with the breast The edge is sharp. This tool will be found useful in the work of cleaning up •nd killing wwds and brambles.

Kftrijr Iamb*.

When all other price* fail in the sbeep tamuefcs the farmer at least has the raising of winter lambs to fall buck on. They bring good prices year in and year out Tbe city palate has a liking for green peas and spring lamtx The aged mutton which goes by that name in town would cause the rural st to make a face of disgust. It smells to heaven, and a bite into it suggests India rubber.

The earlier lambs can be brought into market, the better pay they will bring. Prices drop rapkily after the first few week* The period of gestation with tbe sheep is about twenty-two weeks. If the lambs can be got to market in February and March they wilt bring top prices. It a difficult to get ewes with lamb in hot wsnther, and the farmer who can succeed in doing this is fortunate, or rather skillful, for it & mors skill than luck. If they are kept on short feed and dry food like hay for a week previous to brinf put with the males, it is said suceew In this direction will be much mere certain. It is also sug» gas ted that twice as many ewes as are wanted far producing winter lambs should

are

t»fail to gat with lamb so early in tbe son. Those not needed can gradually be weeded out and sold for mutton as soon as it is ascertained which they are. Select rams with small headsi. Feed the ewes after that plentifully, patting them carefully on the fresh feed from tbe dry. Large fat lambs can only be produced from wellnurtured mothers. In winter the ewes will easily bear feeding four times a day, betides tbe straw, clover-hay and fodder they consume. Feed should te varied, roots alternating with grain, etc. Well nourished lambs of good breed will weigh sixty pounds at from eight to ten weeks old. Ewes for breeding should be perfect, and from two to ax years old.

|HPJ Mrs. "/feredlth's Shorthorns Mrs. Henry C. Meredith, of Cambridge, [nd., lately sold a draft of shorthorns from her herd, numbering thirty-five bead. The bulls and bull calves averaged $152.20, and the female3 $161.20. Mra. Meredith intends keep'ng up the herd at Oakland, begun by her father-in-law, Gen. SoL Meredith, and continue 1 by her husband up to the time of his death, and will shortly leave for England to select and import some of the best to be found in the original home of the shorthorns. Mrs. Meredith may yet become as noted a breeder of shorthorns as Lady Pit?gctfc, of England, who was as fine a judge of the points of a shorthorn as any of the veteran breeders of that country.

Farmer's Scrap Book.

Cut out agricultural articles that will be of use to you, and paste them in a scrap book. Have them arranged alphabetically by subjects, so that you can turn to them at any time. Your wife, daughter, mother or filter will do the pasting for you. Many a time you will read notes and matters that you wish to keep. It is bulky to preserve whole newspapers. Besides that, in a whole pile of papers you will never be able to find what you want in a hurry. So keep a scrap book. Such a set of volumes, kept 7ear by year, will in time make a valuable farm library.

Circular to Wool Growers.

An effort is to be made to force congress to legislate for protection to wool next winter. A circular is issued asking the uome3 and postofflce address of wool growers and the officers of sheep and wool associations throughout the country. It is intended to flood these gentlemen with information on the protection side and against the free trale side of the subject. The names and addresses are to be sent to the tfflce of A. W. Delano, president National Wool Growers' association, care Edward Young, 119 Maryland avenue,. N. E., Washington, D. C. I

The Knees of Carp.

Carp are divided into three varieties: 1, the scale or true carp 2, the mirror carp 3, tbe loathor carp. In Germany the scale rarp is principally raised and preferred as boing tho best flavored, though really all are excellent. Tho scale carp is, in my opinion, however, tho only true carp, and the othor two are hybrids of some other fish ind the scalo carp. In some of the rivers of Kentucky and other states, there is small, bony and almost worthless fish sold by fishermen in tho market under the name of carp, but it has very little resemblance to the true carp.

The Onion Maggot.

The onion maggot has done an unusual amount of damage in some localities this season. As a remedy, or rather preventive, of this post, .some successful growers recommend sowing 400 pounds of salt per acre early in tho spring. A solution of saltpeter in water, in the proportion of one tablespoonful of tho former to one gallon of the latter, will probably prove an effective remedy if applied to the plants as soon as they are up and the applications are repeated occasionally..

Good News for the South.

Cotton, corn, and tobacco crops in the south this year will be the largest ever known. The same is true of fruits and vegetables of all kinds, whilo the sugar crop will ba far better than it was in '84. With such splendid prospects business is already picking up wouderfully. AU^depends on tbe farmer at last.

Grape Juice.

Sweeten tho juice to taste, put it into porcelain kettles and bring it to aboil, skimming off any impurities that may arise thou put it boiling hot into glass bottles and cork aud seal lightly. In ihis manner, if kept cool in a dark olace, it will keep any length of timo and make a very wholesome drink or medicine. I

Things to Do and to Know. Plant shade trees only on tho highest poiuts of pastures.

Don't uudertako to keep a dairy or make butter without a thermometer. So par a to the lambs from tho owes now, and give them a good fresh pasture to themselves.

Ovjr 24,000,000 fish eggs have been put in the waters of tho eastern shore of Maryland this season.

To serve muskmelon, cut in quarters, take out the seeds, put together again, and arrange on grape leaves.

Milk driukfhg is increasing largely in our cities aud towns. Let temperance people and everybody rejoice.

Don't cut the borsa's fotlocks too close. Nature meant thom for protection. Shaving them causes cracked heels.

Throw a sheet or cloth over she cow when you milk her in fly-time. Then she will te comfortable, and you will keepyour temper.

Ward C. White, the most successful dairyman in Wisconsin, says: "I always speak to a cow as I do to a lady."

The "woolly taste" to mutton comes from bad feeding, unhealthy sheep, or letting the entrails remain in tho carcass too long. Ihe wool has nothing to do with it

The price of buttar is depressed both in Europe and America. Cause, oleomargarine. It is a sbanra, too. Tbe only relief will be to make butter so good that nobody will touch oleomargarine, even for wagon grease.

Now is the time to prepare beds for new plantations of strawberries. Plow or spade deeply and thoroughly. Use all the old man una you can afford. Unbleached wood ayhy «re excellent Bone flour is also first rate in connection with the wax!

An abundance of green foliage of aspant-' gus during the summer is necessary if ire] would have luxuriant sprouts next spring, and to produce this cod nothing is more effective than to giTe the rows a heavy coat of manure. It te best done as soon as the cutting stops.

One of UM moat successful vineyard dii tricts in the east is the region around Hammandsport* near Seneca Lake, N. Y. Seven acres of vineyard land yielded a profit of 132,000 Hi seven years. All kinds of grapes grow there, among them the 4Vsntiss, which is considered the most successful American white grape. Superior wines are abo made in vast quantity.

I A Portable Railway. Recent wars in difficult and half civilised regions hnvo developed something new ill railway building. It is a French invention and a very ingenious one. Its main feature is that it is a portable railroad. It is built from cme camp ahead to another, the next that is intended to be occupied. After it is laid down, provisions, army supplies and all that is wanted, soldiers themselves when necessary are carried through. When tbe transportation is effected this Convenient little railway is taken up and brought to camp. It is formed of small steel rails, which can be taken up in sections and put down in a very short time.

The first use that seems to have been made of it was in the Russian war with Turkey in 1883. Tbe Russians bought 100 versta of the road and used it constantly in their military operationa A. verst is two-thirds of a mile. Then next the system was made use of on our isthmus to transport supplies for the Panama canal.

^LOADING

KLBPHAST.

The French themselves used it in the recent wars in Tonquin and Madagascar. It will hereafter accompany all military expeditions, being an indispensable means of transport. It is a vast improvement on ox wagons sticking fast in the mud, and on the old painful way of dragging cannon and gun carriages over difficult mountains. Latterly it has been brought more into requisisition for the acts of peace. It is used to carry sugar cane from the plantations in Australia and Java.

But it was a signal triumph for French industry when at length the English government ordered one of these ingenious railways. The French had something that surpassed the work of their great neighbors even in the iron industry. The portable railway was ordered for Afghanistan. The direction was given that it should be of the same size as the Russian railway. Evidently the intention was to have a road that would fit into the Russian one, if the British could capture that. But it is a poor rule that will not work both ways. It may be that the Russians will take the British railway.

The English road is built in sections at several points of the Bolam pass. The strange feature of this unique railroad building will be to the western mind the use of elephants in conveying from one place to another material for building the roads. This material must all be carted by elephantback, so to speak. The illustration shows the great beasts patiently trudging up a steep mountain pass laden with car wheels, timbers and iron machinery. The most difficult part of the task was to transport the locomotive engine.

CAivRTING A LOCOMOTIVE. J"

The ingenious French builder, M. Decauville, however, surmounted this. He made tbe locomotive in two parts. Tho largest section weighod 8,978 pounds. That is the maximum elephant load. The monstrous creature kneeled down obediently, and tbe great weight was drawn upon hit back by a double file of soldiers. With each elephant sroes a native mahout, or driver. At his order the baast rises and stand? orect, an elephant with a locomotive strapped upon its back. It is_tho extremes of civilization melting

Tl\a great car shopi of M. Decauville themselvos are not tho least interesting part of the chapter. They are at Petit Bourg, not far from Paris, and cover a space of twenty acros along tho bank of the Seina At one end of tbe buildings the rails and steel tor ihj read is conveyed in, at tho other the iron and othor metal for the cars. These materials are work 3d up and the finished products arc shipped out of doors in the middle of the factory.

This great establishment has solved the most difficult problem of modern times—the antagonism between capital and labor. Toe bead of tho house simply treats his employes as human beings, as he himself would wish to be treated in their place. That is all there is of it Tuey and he are prosperous. There are over a thousand wcrkxnen. The establishment has a savings bank, and pays interest to those who lay up from their earnings. Many an employer in enlightened America would cut down the wages of his mon if he found they were saving money. But M. Decauville has not learned that smart dodge yet and, so his men are comfortable and happy. A village is built for the workmen, with a theatre, dear to the French heart A neat house with a garden is for each family, rented to them at from $1.25 to #2 50 a month. A deduction is m«A» ior time occupied, also for number of children in family. Who ever heard before of a deduction in rent being made to a tenant on account ot the large number of children be hast Surely, M. Decauville must be daft, crazy! Alter a given term of years the tenant stops paying rent altogether. When a faithful employe is disabled by old age, he is paid a small sum yearly by the mutual assistance society. Moreover, prizes ere given to workmen who invent improvements in machinery. Where else in the world are thsro such lunatic and "unpractical"' ways of doing things as in this great, rid) factory on tbe Seine wita it? thousand happy, prosperous working meat yyiOTPfW

Moving In W*m

Tbe Duke of Argyle, after a visit to the United States, .remarked that everything in this country was a matter of "waves"— there were "waves" of business depre«iou, homicidal "waves," speculative "waves,' and hot and cold "waves."

The Duke of Argyta need not have coma over here to learn that. He is a very poor observer indeed if be ha* no* found oat before this time that everything in the universe mows in wavesL Sickness, health, wars and peace, saicida*, murders, religkms revivals, years of good and bad crops, all move in a ncoeukn of cycles of their own. If man understood their lam

he wold predict their oocurreaa*. Wbm Miss Morosini eloped with her father's coachman, dozens of girls followed, or tried to follow her example. When Robert Odium met his death jumping off Brooklyn bridge, tbe police were obliged to keep double watch night and day to prevent numerous other men from going over the railings. A man in St. Louis did jump off the bridge there. Hie salne thing also happened at numerous other points in tbe country. Years of drouth, of tornado and cloudburst recur in cycles. There are epidemics of crime and accident, as well as of cholera and smallpox.

Can We Life a Hundred Years? How to live a century and grow old gracefully are discussed in a pamphlet under that title recently published by Dr. J. M. Peebles, who appears to have faith in the practicability of both his propositions. Success depends upon many elements, among the most tangible of which ace air, sleep, food and drinks, and clothing. We must breathe pure air, and breathe deeply not be afraid of night air, and get as much of our air out of doors as we can. "As to sleep, I say," says Dr. Peebles, "to my friends and patients, 'get up get up at 5 o'clock in the morning and I set them the example. If they want more sleep, I say, take it take all you want take eight hours take nine hours take ten hours, if you choose but take them in the early hours of night rather than by daylight. Don't insult Nature.' If you get angry, take a bath and go to bed and sleep if the world abuses you, take extra sleep if you are dyspeptic and discontented, take a long, sound sleep, and, waking, you will find that all the world is smiling." For diet, the vegetarian and farinaceous system is recommended. For drink, water, which should also be apnlied freely and frequently outside, while intoxicating liquors, tea, coffee, etc., are best left alone. The clothing should always be arranged with a view to protection against variations of heat and cold, and with no other, and should not be allowed to impede any of the functions or movements of the body. Medicinal remedies carefully selected and wisely administered are at times useful. Finally: "Exercise charity toward all, control your passions, govern your appetites. Develop antjjkmanifest a sweet and peaceful spirit Carefully observe the rules of health and, with a fair constitution to start with on the journey of life, you may easily live a full century."

Horse Hospital.

Berlin has a hospital for horses, in which overworked or sick animals may find rest and regain their health. It is undar the joint management of a veterinary ot the first class, an ex-captain of artillery and a farmer. The grounds have an extent of nearly 100 acres, with excellent pasturo land, clay and moor patches, water and bathing facilities. In case of need the patients have ambulance wagons sent for them to transport them to the hospital. I

Fashionable Carpets and Cartalna. We are learning tbe comfort of thick cur» tains and portieres. Pompeiian colors are resigned to tile and wall painting, where they belong, for they were never meant for fabrics, and there is choice between the modern colors—no longer faded earthy reds and bilious yellows, but subtle shades in peacock tinges, the lovely blues of succory flowers, or of pale mist, and mossy, bronze and primrose shades, golden olive3 and nut-browns that shade into marigold and tawny color. These are found in supple Turcoman and deep furry plush, which takes tho light as if it held a luminotu quality. These rich colors are best left to themselves, to show their own sumptuous folds, unbroken by trimming, with perhaps fringed headings of Persian, Moorish or tap* eatry design.

With these should be used tbe large Per* sion carpet, which covers the floor almost entirely, or one of the modern Wiltons, of indefinite pattern, in color neither shading into the walls nor contrasting, but with just enough difference to relieve them in the mats—bronze, marine blue, and russet shades. These art carpets are to be made in rug fashion, enormous fringed squares just clearing the walls and not fitted to projections. The pattern carpets in Wilton and fine Brussels are beautiful enough to frame on tbe walls as tapestry, the soft, superb colors rivaling flower painting. For instance, parents wishing to furnish a young lady's room on her leaving school, might choose a carpet of large, pale-blue cam-

ulas and pinky fox-gloves, strewn on ground, without border, the walls draped in mist-blue tinge, with wide friezj of campanulas and daisies, the portiere of blue-gray turcoman or tapestry, door hangings being usually heavier material than other draperies, with curtains of the printed satin, a* better, of English cretonne, which would repeat the bluebell and foxglove patterns, with tapestry headings blending the same colors. Tbe furniture should be small, tufted easy chairs and lounge in the same cretonne and fringes, or smooth cushions of cretonne worked with a little gold thread. An older lady's room might present the carpet and hangings in the new and gayer designs of nasturtium and blue convolvulus, or the French-looking fleur-de-lis and roses, with tapestry headings and lace under curtains of sheer Swias work or the cut-work muslin drapery. Lambrequins are out of date, and straight headings take their place.

Visiting Cards.

Cards are now always engraved in round script. A married woman's card is 2)^x4 inches, if ot the most approved style. In the right hand corner is her address. If she has a day when she receives it is printed in the left owner. An, English fashion puts "west'' or "east" attar the name or number of tbe street but for American toe it is an affectation, as here it has always been OKD before the number, thus—1,000 West' Twenty-third street A card with her daughter's name underneath to a trifle larger, axe, 2^x4. A card with her husband's name •ad her own, Mr. and Mrs. John Jones," la of the same ste, or "Dr. and Mra Allen." A gentleman's card, married or unmarried, is l&c33f indies in sise, with his address, either house or dub, in right band corner, and always prefixed by "Mr." unless he is a military or naval officer, when his rank fc oamed. A clergyman's card Is 1 toches in sise, with the name ot his church

in the left hand corner and his residence la fight hand oorner. A young lady's card, whether the eldest daughter, Miss Smith, or a younger daughter, Miss Mary Smith, is 2x8)1 inches in ste, all engraved in round script. If people are traveling or moving about, they have no address engraved on their caxjds.

Mourning Neckwear, [Harper's Bazar.]

White is now worn at the neck and wrists in the deepest mourning, as it is considered very unwholesome for black crape to come in contact with the skin, on account of its dyes, and because of the small flakes that escape from it Widows wear a Byron collar and deep outside cuffs of white organdy with a hem an inch deep these, with a small white tarlatan cap in Fanchon shape, are nsed by widows only. Two or three bias folds of white canvas or of crepe lisse are worn by those in mourning for parents, brother, sister or children. There are also leaf scallops of lisse two or three rows and plain pique folds. Those who insist upon black for the neck now use bias folds of canvas grenadine or of silk muslin in preference to crape. rlt*

Waterproof Apron for Hiding. Anew waterproof apron for the use of equestriennes has been brought over from London, invoiced the "Norpa." It rolls up in a small compass and buttons on to the front of the saddle, where it is held in place by small straps. When wanted it is easilv unbuckled, and, opening out wide, covers the knees and the off side of the saddle far enough to conduct the rain drops downward, instead of allowing them to soak into the leather. It is fastened over the knees by three wide hooks, one of which attaches to a button of the habit, while the other two are fastened to buttons placed for them on each side of the jacket, thus forming an effectual protection to the knees in a rain.

Silver Clear Cutters for After Dlnn«n' Numbered with elegant conveniences for gentlemen are table cigar cutters, which appear with the "after dinner" service. These are of silver, and come in sizes much larger than the ordinary cutter designed to be carried in the pocket or on one's watch chain. The long handles are elaborately carved in grotesque fashion, and oxidized to give the required lights and shades. Match cases are out in designs worthy of a plaoe on the same tray with these new table cigar cutters.

Fashionable Neckwear.

The styles for collars and neck bands are peculiar and likewise so pretty at present that they deserve a chapter to themselves.

S A N IN O A S

The illustration shows a group of the most stylish neck bands. They fit over the high plain band of the neck of a dress, and an edge of white lace or linen usually shows above them. Any woman can make them for herself. They are variously made of ribbon, lace, beads, gilt and silver tinsel, embroidery white and colored, etc. They are as wide as can be comfortably worn without wrinkling. Different widths for long or short necks. lln fashion is to dress tbe neck very high now. Tho collars are all to be made over a stiff foundation. The one at the top of the picture is of black silk, covered with beaded lace. That at the left hand is of gilt figured etamine ribbon, with narrow pipings of red and blue satin ribbon at tbe edge. A bow of etamine ribbon covers the fastening. The lowermost band is of gold gauze laid over red silk. A band of embroidered etamine ribbon studded with gold beads, headed by points of the same ribbon, trims the lower part, and a bow of the ribbon is placed at one end. That on the right is of dark red uncut velvet, edged with a fringe of large and small silver beads.
