Merino Sheep.

American Merino sheep are descended from ^the Spanish lferinoe imported into this country many years ago. But our climate and *oil, not to say the bounding air of a free country, have so changed them that they are now to all intents and purposes a distinct family, just as the American trotting horse is a distinct breed.

The American Merino is the basis of the cheep and wool interest in the United States. For mutton it is not so good, according to some authorities, as the Southdown, but for wool it is aUsolutely indispensable. No other sheep can take its place for this purpose. Breeding has steadily improved it, and continues to do so.

The ram in the picture in the picture is wool down to his hoofs. No other sheep produces such a weight of fleece. Crozier mentions that he has seen unwashed Merino fleeces that weighed thirty-four pounds. There is so much oil in them that they sometimes clean down to a fourth of their unwashed weight Even then, however, their fleeces are much heavier than those of ordinary sheep.

AWtniCAir MERINO RAM.

The illustration shows "Captain Jack," a sheep that has won many prizes. Rams of this blocd have been sold as high as $10,000. They are the flne-wooled sheep of the country. They are easily kept, and are well fitted for hilly and mountainous regions, and are strong and hardy. They are tho favorite brad of the Pacific slope.

There area few breeds of animals in which America leads tho world, and the Merino sheep is one of these.

Mr. CrQzier, author of "How the Farm Pays," says he feeds his sheep on cut peas and oats in winter. He leaves water in their reach constantly, gives them salt now and then, and enco in awhile a little sulphur. In the spring, about the time young pasture is reedy to put stock on, he tun-K bi« *bteep into the wheat field. They do U:' whoat good In various ways. II the flock tipon posture.

Iii January he sold the sheep to the butcher for 19 apiece. They had previously cost him (8.60 apiece, being animals that he had bought in the New York market and taken home to fatten. He considers this pasturing of sheep on turnip patches one of tho best ways to bring up poor land. The sheep droppings enrich the soil greatly. Next spring be sows the wune soil in oats, grasses and clover, and it is reedy to bring a fine crop. The ttheop are dipped in strong tobacco water to kill ticks, and in strong, hot tobacco water, to which some sulphur has been added, to kiU scab.

Mr. Croxier is ono of the most successful general farmers in the Atlantic states.

Small ljlack Host.

Tho small Black Suffolk bog is a favorite breed in England. The sow in the illustration belongs to this blood. 8ho is a prizewinning hog at tho fairs, and is too fat for a breeder a* she appear* in the engraving. In England when a hog takes a prize this immediately adds to the value of othem belonging to the samo blood or litter, and they are bought and sold as breeders.

BLACK SUFFOLK SOW.

The points of the Black Suffolk* are early maturity, fine flesh and very little waste. Tho fovrs produce very large litters, sometimes as many as fifteen and sixteen. Tfcs breed is not much known in the United States. _____

"New Agriculture."

This is the name of a good many schemes, some of which ore humbugs. Hon. A. N. Cole, of WellsvUle, N. Y., gives the title to a large book h\ has written on the subject of draining lands bv the trench system. Ho claims that there are millions in it, and there may bo really something in it

The method is to dig deep trenches in the land andjmt in to these tile drains of a peculiar pattern. The® they are covered over. But the rains percolate the soil, the water "seeps" through tho till*. Instead of being carried off as in the ordinary tray, it remain stored in the earthen receptacles, as a steady fountain to be drawn on by the roots of growing crops as they want it Then there is no drouth, no mitter how great the lack of rain. By irrigation in the California and the west larger, surer crops are raised than in the eastern and middle secti«- of the country, in which the rainfall is de^-idcd on for water.

Mr. Cole's system is explained in his book called "The New Agriculture." He avers that he has raised 1,000 bushels of potatoes frum one acre of ground by the trenching drainage plan. His own small farm, he says, was unproductive because of poor soil before he yied the new agriculture. After that he raised large crops. Below are men* tkmed the especial advantages he claims. By "hard pen" he means the hard clay subsoil which underlies *o much ol oar count]-}'. The trenching is deep enough tu penetrate the hard pan Mr. Cole^s plan is tndonwd by lYoftwor Roberta, of Cornell university, and by the prwident of the Ktaura Farmers' club.

The system and the book are worth investigating, never facing sight, of course, of the "hard pan" of one* own good common sew and judgment. Don't be carried away with anything, and investigate new things to the bottom before you go into them. The writer of "The New Agriculture* **vs In support of it:

tem being measurably impervious to frost, the producing season li prolonged from forty to sixty days. 5. It creates a rich, moist and loamy soil out of the most unpromising hard pan. & It prevents the washing of surface soils from hillside farms during heavy rains. 7. Springs are created on the most sterile hillsides. 8. Drouth is effectually guarded against.

Laying Sod to Bolt a Hog. In the spring there is a claffi of mean formers who turn their cattle into the road, that their pastures may get abetter s^art Their cows, leaving the highways, plaj the mischief with grassy lawns or shrubbery, and occasionally find their way into a garden, destroying everything above ground. When they leave, the industrious hog, who is let out for a little fresh spring food, completes the destruction of the horned brute. He has a nose for business. He detects the tender bulbs with his keen scent as surely as the setter does tbe quail He never fails to bring up and devour anything that suite his taste, and he has an appetite that is never satisfied with what he unearths, and he is omnivorous in his habits. One old one, with her nevertiring followers, can destroy more sod, and tear up more gutters and plants in one day than the whole horde is worth.

A learned divine who had cultivated tastes and means to gratify them had, at great expense, tastefully graded and sodded a large yard about his beautiful homo. The morning after the work had all been completed he stepped out before breakfast to gratify his eye in beholding what the night before was a thing of beauty and a Joy to all passersby. But, alas! to his horror, during that first night the neighbor's enterprising sow and family had been there and turned the nice sod into a disgusting mass. The D. D. did not utter cuss words, He folded his arms peacefully and remarked meekly: "Well, no man ever could lay sod to suit liog. "—Ben: Perley Poore in American Culti vator.

Lawn and Tard Grasses.

Dont forget your grassy lawn or door yard this spring. If you have not time for many flowers you certainly have leisure for making a beautiful bright green grass plot about your house.

Seedsmen sell what they call mixed lawn grasses. W. J. Deal, professor of botany and forestry in the Michigan Agricultural college, has struck consternation into the hearts of nurserymen and seedsmen by analyzing the mixtures they send out, neatly labeled and sold for from $4 to $5.50 a bushel. He found, without exception, that the compounds contained quantities of weed seeds and plants that wore a detriment to a lawn. Some contained eggs of insects. Look out for t'1 study and experimenting pr- nds the following to be the grass mixture to plant: S .': two bushels of Kentucky W atensis, to two bushels o! so gras. known as Rhode I? wn Bent or Creeping Bent, or few ounces cf' white clover nin one wifh«a. A lothesowingv ^... al writes: ady. nin! »oil strong, dra.ii deeply vr rise, harrow and 1- the sur.n- artfully. In early spring, if in enrlv mm wn if not dry, sow," without any whirl or oats, three or four bushels to the acre of June grass or red top, either one or a mixture of both in any proportion."

April is a good month in which to sow lawn grass: Never mix any timothy, red clover, meadow fescue or other, large grass or clover, but only the finest perennial grasses and clover.

Sound Sense.

If the farms of the northwest generally art to be preserved in their fertility, it will have to be done by clover and by being largely devoted to grass, st that the offal will remain on the farm. It is idle to even think of increasing tbe productiveness of our lands, or preserving their present condition by commercial fertilizers. Farms can be kept up to their full production by natural agencies, which every prudent man can control. And yet threo-fourtijs of all stable manures in thi^ state are wasted, thrown into rivers, etc.— Iowa Register.

Co-operative Drainage.

Drainage districts are formed in Illinois, varying from 10,000 to 40,000 acres in extent, according to the lay of the land. Some of the smaller districts have been completed and their success gives confidence to others. Farmers owning these lands make a common tund, according to the drainage required. The work is done on a large scale, with every possible help from machinery, and xnucl more cheaply and effectively than anj farmer could hope to do it unaided and alone.

Look Out for tbe Swindler. Here is another trick that needs watching: Ono sharper agrees to buy a farmer's land, and pays him 125 to bind tho bargain. Another comes along and offers him $500 more, and gets the promise of it, if the farmer car buy off No. 1, who soon comes around and in ists on the fulfillment of the contract^ bu will give up for $300. This the farmer agree? to, and pays back the $25 and tho $200, and the second purchaser never turns up.

Roots For Late Use.

By this timetho white and early turnip* will be pithy and of but little value for feeding. Rutabaga or Swedish turnips keep later, and in pits may be preserved fit for use until afresh bit of grass can be had. It is toward spring that most roots are needed, for it is then that cows and ewes need green food to stimulate milk production for their young. Tfceop fects should be remembered in decid ing what roots to plant next season.

Killed by Holer Bell*

A man named Daniel Boone, supposed to t* a lineal descendant of the famous pioneer, waj killed by a red polled bull, on the farm of A. H. Brown, south of Wcstport, Mo. He was leading the bull to water, when the vkiotftly attacked him, knocking him down and then falling upon him with his knees, breaking all of his ribs and crashing in his breast bone. It may be stated, parenthetically, that the boll tad no ring in hh nose.

Things to Do and to Know. Tbe Iowa Register informs fanners that there are ten lawyers where there should be OO*. .A".-: vy-:

TERRS HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL,

Making Plate Glass with Gas FaeL The fiHHfMtfari of natural gas as fuel has wrought a revolution in glass making. American glass will no doubt speedily be able to compete with the best French and German plate gingg, which it has never done heretofore. Abroad, where the best glass is made, several factories have abandoned coal and in iron np the use of manufactured gas ajs a fuel. The sulphur in the best and purest of coal blurs and coats the glass with patches, while if smoke comes in contact with it in the soft state a permanent stain is caused. Besides that, with the cool fuel, in spite of the best of care, ashes, dust and solid particles from the furnace were certain now and then to get into the molten glass and make a flaw.

Gas fuel has done away with all that. It Vmg given Pittsburg ah advantage over the rest of the country that she has been not slow to utilize. Before the natural gas fuel discovery there were some large glass factories elsewhere in the country. Pittsburg, since that discovery, has made glass so much better and cheaper than they could that they found themselves forced to "go, to Pittsburg or go to pieces." &«*'

BLOWING PLAT* GLASS.

Several have already removed to the city of natural gas. At some ef the Pittsburg factories a plate of glass 66x54 .inches can now be turned out. The illustration shows that part of the process called "blowing." The sticky, molten mass is literally blown into shape by the breath.

It is announced that Messrs. Appert, of Clicby, France, have discovered a process that will make glass blowing by the mouth unnecessary. Many attempts have been made to get rid of this painful process in the operations of glass making, but to this day, in every bottle house, may be seen pale-faced men, with their cheeks hanging limp in folds, the result of years of glass blowing by the mouth. Cases have been known in which men's cheeks have been worn so thin that they have actually cracked, end it is a common sight in a bottle house to see the blowers at work, with their thin cheeks puffed out like the fingers of a glove.

The furnace is heated by the gas. Into it is set a fire-brick pot A round opening, such as you see in the picture, gives access to the pot In the pot the materials which make the glass are put, to be fused all together. They consist of 100 parts of sand, 30 parts lime, 40 parts alkali, and some pulverized charcoaL It must be an intense heat, like that of a volcano, which will melt all these hard materials together. A glass furnace is indeed the hottest place known to man.

The materials are brought to the imolten state. Then they are skimmed to gee me refuse off. Next the workman plunges along wrought iron tube with a wooden handle and mouthpiece inte the white hot mass. Part of it adheres to the end of the pipe. He rolls it around, takes it out until it codls slightly, and then plunges the pipe into the pot again. More glass adheres, Until at length there is a imll on the end of the tube weighing many pounds. For a plate of glass as large as the one mentioned a boll of the molten material weighing over thirty pounds is required. It needs a very strong man to lilt and manipulate this weight. When he gets a red hot ball of glass largo enough, he rests it a moment in a wet wooden mould and turns it about until it is pear-shaped.

At length the first man hands the pipe with the redhot ball at the end to the blower. He blows gently into it, turning it constantly tho while. It presently becomes the shape of a huge bottle without any neck to speak of. You see in the picture the blower at his task. When the mass runs too much to the lower end he must lift it in the air till it runs back 'to the upper end. This requires great strength. The picture shows how it is done. The bottle is five feet long liy this time and afoot and a half across.

The next step is to blow out the bottom of the bottle and make an open-ended cylinder of it The workman blows into his pipe and puts his hand over the opening. The air expands in the heat, and the next moment he hear* a little pop. The air has ilown a small hole in the end of the redhot hollow mass to get out at The blower twists his tube around and around, and puffs his breath into it until the opening gets larger, and a perfect cylinder takes the place if the bottle.

A string of red hot glass drawn around the upper end of the cylinder breaks it evenly off at the neck from the iron blowpipe. Then it is cracked open lengthwise from end to end by a hot iron. It is carried to a great hearth and melted till it becomes soft enough to lie out flat Then it is what it has been meant for all along, a great sheet of plate pla««. ready to be tempered, ironed flat and brilliant, and put in a huge window to show off ladies' new dresses.

Fireproof Clothing.

Chevalier Aldini invented a fireproof suit consisting of wire gauze and strong cloth protected by alum. Remarkable rescues have been effected in fires by this or other fireproof suits.

max pr muoTtoor axuosl RISCH HO A CHIUX In the rait la rented by Chevalier Aldini the head was protected by an asbestos hood, and the hands were incased in asbestos gloves. In order to Aow the efficiency of his clothing, tbe inventor performed a series

ti

curious experiments in 1890. Tims dad in bis costume, betook a red hot iron bur and carried it to a distance of over fifty feet, set some straw on fire with it, and returned and put it into the furnace. Another time be carried a burning beam and walked upon a grating beneath which fagots were burning. Kir msn dad in fireproof rmlmn* walked

riowljr between a series of fins forming a passage over ten yards in length filled with flame* and smoke. One of these experimenters passed through the furnace carrying a wirecloth covered basket, in which there was a child.

Could the Oregon Have Keen Saved? Hie lost Oregon was the fleetest ship on tbe Atlantic save one, the Etruria. She was the pride of both sides of the water. Yet she now lies in 130 feet of water, 30 miles off Fire Island, sunk, it is supposed, bye little schooner which banged into her amidships, and knocked a great hole into the iron plates of her sido.

There are those who think the beautiful Oregon could have been saved. Here Li what an old Yankee sea captain says:

Had I been in command of the Oregon when it was apparent that the vessel would fill if the influx were not checked, and when there was no longer any hope of beaching her, I would have proceeded as follows:

I would have passed three or more chain cables or hawsers, or both, over her bows, and secured them like a belt about her waist, where she was injured. Then I would have taken the heaviest and largest hatch in the vessel, and I would have passed it over her side, between the cables and her plates, forcing it down until the suction into her hold caused it to adhere to her immovably, like a patch.

If this did not reduce the influx to a point at which her powerful pumps could keep it under control, which I believe it would, I should have passed a dozen or twenty ropes over her bow, keel hauled them back to the damaged spot, strung bales of the woolen goods in her cargo on them, and dragged them under Until they were sucked in and the hole stopped effectually. 1 dont think there is any great ing#Uity in this ideavbut there has not been any evicence adduced to show that any really intelligent effort was made to save the vessel.

Capt Cottier says it was an "act of God but any Yankee skipper would have said: "Yes, an act of God, no doubt but there's no eternal law about not keeping this water out!"

Preventing Decay In Wood The prevention of decay in wood is said to be effectively accomplished by exhausting the air from the pores and filling them with a gutta percha solution, a substance which preserves the wood alike from moisture, water and the action of the sun. The solution is made by mixing two-thirds of gutta percha to one-third of parafine, this mixture being then heated to liquify the gutta percha, when it is readily introduced into the pores df the WDod, the effect of the gutta percha being, when it becomes cool, to harden the pores.

Fact* of Interent.

Rich gold fields have been discovered in Patagonia. The death rate in England is steadily diminishing from decade to decade Last year it was only 19 per 1,000. This is due to Unproved habits of living.

Like so many ethers, the great Kalahari desert in South Africa has been found to be no desert at all, but a grassy plain capable of supporting fabulous numbers of cattle.

A patent has been granted in Russia for a lucifer match that can be used an indefinite number of times, the wood being impregnated with a spedal chemical solution that will allow of such re-use.

Germany leads the world in the matter of geography teaching. Children in the primary class are made to locate their school houso. church, home and other land marks. They are taken on excursions of several miles in the country, made to fix the points of the ompass, the direction of streams, etc. Thus they get a real map fixed in thair minds. Inruction in bftoks is only used to finish the course.

&

Spring Huts.

In general these will be very* high, lofty indeed. They will be trimmed much with flowing ostrich plumes. They are not so eccentric as to brim as they were a year ego, but have smaller, straighter brims.

^Fio. Flo. a Fig. 1 shows a jannty hat of very fine black straw. It is trimmed around the crown with a narrow band of black velvet All the trimming, consisting of full loops of black velvet, long and short black ostrich tips and a pink aigrette, is placed at the back.

Fig. 2.—A stylish hat of fine English straw the natural color, the brim rolled cm the icft side toward the back and slightly drooping on the other side, and the edge finished with a band of the straw. The crown is high, and flat on the top. The trimming consists of a rouleau of amber velvet and lemon colored silk gauze which encircles the crown, and a full bow of tbe same materials placed in front and toward the left which supports a cluster of handsome ostrich tips in the same colors.

Making and Trimming Summer

Pwmm.

Embroideries are the accepted trimmings, and are preferred to lace for cotton dresses, but both are used. Regular flouncings vary from eighteen to forty-five inches in depth. There are fewer of die narrow than the wiue widths used for dresses, and in most patterns there are but two widths, one for the waist and sleevos, the other, forty inches deep, for flouncing, or for the entire skirt gathered full into a belt and worn over a plain skirt of cambric with a narrow ruffle or two, either otf embroidery or plain goods, at the hem.

The majority of cotton dresses are very simply made. There are many with a straight round skirt gathered into a belt, and a deep apron of embroidered flouncing that may extend around the entire front and sides and be gathered over the back breadths, the ends covered by an ample nsh, or the apron may meet the back breadth at tbe sides. A vwry pretty style bas an apron of four yards and a half of embroidered flotxndng gathered into tbe belt in front with the underskirt, and withasieparatebeltattbe back so arranged that tbe ends of the embroidery, which are gathered up into a narrow space, shall lap over each other across the back over the tuurnure. A sash with a full bow worn with nearly all cotton dresses.

WaMi may be foil, in snrpttos style, or nearly plain, with tacks either perpendicular or across, the latter being suitable enly for very slight figures. For ordinary dresses a terned-over or standing collar iseqoaUv appropnate^jHsl torned-oack cuffs of embroid­

ery are desirable. Small ball pearl buttons are the best tor

closing the waist Sashes

may be of tbe material, with embroidery or lace, or they may be of surah, ribbon, silk grenadine or faille, according to the occasion and the goods with which they are associated. —Demoresfs Monthly.

A New Bonnet.

Here is a stylish bonnet of a kind that win be much worn the coming summer—lace and

'J LAC* BONNET.

It ttiade of figured black tulle, which is puffed en a light frame of wired net To conceal the frame it is covered with a double layer of plain net before the figured tulle is mounted on it Tbe coronet is studded with two rows of large cut jet beads, which diminish in size toward the ends, and a narrow lace ruche is set underneath the edge. A scarf, formed by joining four-inch trimming lace, is carried in folds down the crown and across tho back to the ears, where the ends form the strings. A large bouquet of yellowish pink blossoms is placed in the midst of a lace rosette against the front

Bonnets in General.

No more birds on bonnets. The edict has gone forth, and the daughter of the innocents has stopped. It was time, for the country would shortly have been depopulated of birds. The fashion collapsed as suddenly as it rose. Scarcely a bird is now seen upon the hate and bonnets in a fashionable New York millinery window.

Long ostrich plumes are again in demand. A new feature has been introduced in the shape of open-work bonnets, that sit lightly on the head and show the hair through, though they are frequently lined with colored silks. There are many of these, both in straw and beaded wire net work, in black, black and gilt, or any other colors preferred. The trimming is put directly upon the open work. The effect is unique and pretty.

There are also liberty cap bonnets, the shape of the head covering of the Goddess of Liberty. These are very stylish to those to whom they are becoming. These bonnet-sap-turbans, for they seem to be all these in one, are worn without strings, and the back is loft without trimming, showing the shape.

More About the Summer Dromes* Scotch ginghams will be fashionable. Many of them have frise or fuzzy stripes that look like fine Turkish toweling. They are pretty and stylish. There are many checked and striped common ginghams, also. Chamberys will be popular. But the open work win be the most popular of all. These come in many styles. Sateens will hold their own. Cotton crapes and the crinkled seersuckers are not ironed when washed, but pulled straight with the hand and allowed to dry. The cotton etomines or canvas goods, when washed and ironed, must be handled very carefully. They must be stretched upon a thickly-covered ironing board and pressed lightly upon the wrong side. White goods are beautiful, fashionable and in great variety, embroidered, cross barred and laoe striped. In general, raised spots, stripes and checks will be more fashionable than flowered fabrics.

I Paraaols kt*~ A* are odd and elegant The newest is named the Japanese by some, by others the Moresque. What's in a name, anyhow! This new shade has the canopy top, with the ribs curving outward at the point these are covered with silk, in graduated hair line stripes, the stripes matching to a thread on tbe gore seams others of white or cream silk, with bunches of rose buds, pinks and other flowers strewing the surface lavishly.

Another new parasol is for the carriage. It points longer on two sides, intended for front and back, the short sides giving room for those beside them. Coaching parasols have natural wood sticks, with horseshoes, crooks, bars and horse head handles. Stripes of satin foulard and etamine in blue and beige, brown and beige, as well as plain beige foulard, witL a border of contrast, are all shown iu th. coaching line.—New York' Fashion Bazar.

Skirts of Dresses.

The foundation skirt remains about tw yards and a quarter in width. The lowei skirt of the dress material is very full and straight, being almost a regular Mother Hubbard skirt, and is visible to a greater height below or between the draperies than in winter dresses. Sometimes this skirt & gathered all around at the top, and sewed to the foundation skirt, but in most caseB it is partly plain and partly gathered, or else plaited in wide, loose looking plaits in the sides or behind, or wherever it is not covered by drapery.

Brass and Copper Coffee Urns. Some of the most attractive coffee pots and urns, tea caddies and the like, seen this month, have been of brass, iron or copper. The shapes are unique, tbe handiwork elaborate and careful. The copper ware shows that peculiar glossy smooth finish doe to the present popular mode of treating copper. The brass is much of it made in fluted patterns, and the iron ware is often beautifully decorated with silver ornamentation. All tbe table ware is, of course, lined with silver, and the coffee pots not unfrequently show ivory hawiw.—Jeweler's Circular.

FA8HIONLETS.

Pale pink tulle ruchings are pretty for tbe neck and wrists. Silver sea shells, lined with gold, are used for salt cellars.

Bands of embroidered cashmere are to be fashionable. Many suits will be combinations of large and smaU checks. frTtwfr laoe is used in Coanbirwfion With pink silk this season by yocng ladies. It is very becoming to brunets.

Even the new cheviots come in boatoxmenx, bouele and corded stripes and borders to be combined with plain cheviot

Black, dark green and brawn form the fairest proportion of dresses worn in the streets by New York women.

Btack and silver are mncb combined in boa nets for elderly ladies, and one in black velvet bad tbe top and side sprinkled with separate wfcsaft hsads in the finest band embroidery.

HALL'SHHV

RENEWER.

It is a medicinal preparation, and, at the same time, an elegant and cleanly toilet article. Its action upon the scalp is licalffelul. It nourishes the glands which support the hair, and causes thin, dry hair to become thick, soft, and vigorous. It restores the color of youth to locks which hare bccome faded with age or disease and relieves and cures itching, caused by humors of tho scalp. Dr. George Gray, Nashua, N. H., writes: "It gives n» pleasure to testify to tho wonderful effects produced by Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewcr, as observed by mc in very many cases. IT WILL CERTAINLY UESTOR* THE nAlR TO ITS ORIGINAL COLOR. It cleanses the head of dandruff, and leaves the hair soft, glossy, and beautiful." F. T. Sandhcin, 1010 Sprucc St., Philadelphia, Ta.,writes: "After unavailingly trying a number of preparations, to prevent my hair from falling out, and, realizing that I was fast becoming bald, I tried, as a last

resort,

DalPs Hair Renewer. I have used

only four bottles of the Renewer, and nm perfectly satisfied that it is the best preparation in the market for checking the falling out of hair, invigorating tho hair roots, ami promoting anew growth."
