Merino Sheep.

American Merino sheep are descended from the Spanish Merinos imported into this coontry many years ago. But our climate and aoil, not to say the bounding air of a free xrantry, hare 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 aheep and wool interest in the United Statea For mutton it is not so good, according to some authorities, as the Southdown, but for wool it is alfcolutely 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 flceces 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.

AJnCniCAIC MERINO RAM.

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

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

Mr. Cozier, author of "How the Farm Pays," says h« feeds his sheep on cut peas and oats in winter. He leaves water in their reach constantly, gives them salt now and then, and •nco in awhile a little sulphur. In the spring, about the time young pasture is ready to put stock on, he tun bt« sbfeep into the wheat field. They do tl whoat good in various ways. II

built in the turnip field. In January he sold the sheep to the butcher for $9 apiece. They had previously cost him $8.80 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 the best ways to bring up poor land. The sheep droppings enrich the soil greatly. Next spring be sows the eame soil in oats, grasses and clover, and it is ready to bring a fine crop. The sheep are dipped in strong tobacco water to kill ticks, and in strong, hot tobacco water, to which some sulphur has been added, to kill scab.

Mr. Crorier is one of the most successful general farmers in the Atlantic states.

Small ^IHCU Hop.

Tho small Black SufTolk bog is a favorite breed in England. The sow in the illustration belongs to this blood. Sho is a prisewinning hog at tho fairs, and is too fat for a breeder as she appears in the engraving. In England when a hog takes a prize this immediately adds to the value of others belonging to the same blood or litter, and they are tought and sold as breeders.

BLACK SUFFOLK SOW.

The points of the Black Suffolks are early Maturity, fine flesh and very little waste. Tho sows produce very largo litters, aom times as many as fifteen and sixteen. The brt*d is not much known in the United (Status. "New Agriculture."

This is the name of a good many schemes, soma of which are humbugs. Hon. A. N. Cole, of Wellsville, N. Y., gives the title to a large book hcv has written on the subject of draining lands bv the trench system. He claims that there are millions in it, and there may be really something in it.

The method is to dig deep trenches in the land andjnit in to these tile drains of a peculiar IMttern. Then they are covered over. But the rains percolate the soil, the water "seeps" through the tiles. Instead of being carried off as in the ordinary way, it remain stored in the earthen receptaclca, as a steady fountain. to be drawn on by the roots of growing crops as they want it. Then there is no drouth, no rn&tter how great the lack of rain. By irrigntion in the California and the west larger, sum- crops are raised than in the eastern and middle sector of the country, in which the rainfaS is decoded c« for water.

Mr. ColeVi sytfom is explained in his book called "The New Agriculture." He a rem that he has raised 1,000 bushels of potatoes from one acre of ground by the trenching drainage plan. His own small farm, be nays, was unproductive because of poor soil before he yied the new agriculture. After that he raised large crops. Below are mentioned tb» especial advantages he claims. By "hard pan" he moans the bard clay subsoil which underlies so much of our country. The trenching is deep enough t» penetrate the hard pan Mr. Cole's plan is indorsed by Professor Roberts, of Cornell university, and by the president of the Elrnira Farmers' club.

The fasten and the book are worth investigating. wvar losing sight, of course, of the "hard pan" ot one's own good common setae and judgment Don't be carried away with anything, and investigate new things to the bottom before you go into them.

Laying

Sod to Suit

a Hog.

In the spring there is a clasB of mean farmers who turn their cattle into the road, that their pastures may get abetter start. Their cows, leaving the highways, pl^f 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 the quail He never fails to bring np ««d ivour anything that suits 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 end sodded a large yard about his beautiful home. 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 bis horror, during that first night the neighbor's enterprising sow and family had been there and turned the nice sod into a disgusting moss. The D.D. did not utter cuss worda He folded his arms peacefully and remarked meekly: "Well, no man ever could lay sod to suit a bog."—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 yon certainly have leisure for making a beautiful bright green grass plot about your bouse.

Seedsmen sell what they call mixed lawn grasses. W. J. Beal, 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 fort11 study and experimenting, pr, .•#• ds the following to be the be grass mixture to plant: two bushels of Kentuckj atensis, to two bushels oi gnus, known as Rhode I? wn Bent or Creeping Bent, or few ounces cf white clover mn "one wishes.

Sound Sense.

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

Cooperative 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, nnd their success gives confidence to others. Farmers owning these lands make a common ftuttd, according to the drainage required. The work is done on a largo scale, with every possible help from machinery, and mucl more cheaply and effectively than am farmer could hope to do it unaided and alone.

Look Out for tho Swindler.

Here is another trick that needs watching: One sharper agrees to buy a farmer's land, nnd pays him $25 to bind the 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, bui will give up for $200. This the farmer agree* to, and pays back the $25 and the $200, and the second purchaser never turns up.

Roots For

Lata

Use.

By this time tho 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 toward spring that most roots are needed, for it is then that COWB and ewes need green food to stimulate milk production for their young. These facta should be remembered in decid ing what roots to plant next season.

A man named Daniel Boone, supposed totx a lineal descendant of the famous pioneer, was killed by a red polled bull, on the farm of A. EL Brown, south of W cistport, Mo. He was leading the bull to water, when the animal vickxftly attacked him, knocking him down and thai falling upon him with his knees, breaking all of his ribs and crashing in his breast bone.

Making Plata Glass wltfc Gas F»L

Hie utilization of natural gas as fuel has wrought a revolution in glass making. Amer if an glass will no doubt speedily be afile to compete with the best French and 'German plate which it has never done heretofore. Abroad, where the best glass is made, several factories have abandoned coal and talron up the use of manufactured gas 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 coal 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 ^iQg done away with all that. It has given Pittsburg an 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."

BI/OWING PLATE GLASS.1'

Several have already removed to the city of natural gas. At some of 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 svery 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, and 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 ie 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, 90 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 molten state. Then they are skimmed to get the refuse off. Next the workman plunges along wrought iron tube with a wooden handle and mouthpiece into 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 lefegth there is a ball on the end of the tube weighing many pounds. For a plate of glass as large as the one mentioned a ball 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. Ho blows gently into it, turning it constantly the 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 by 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 hears a little pop. The air has Mown 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 aid to aid by a hot iron. It is crrried 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 ready to be tempered, ironed flat and brilliant, and put in a huge window to show off ladies' new dresses.

Fireproof Clothing.

In order to dm the efficiency of hb clothing, the inventor performed a serieB of curious experiments in 1830. Tims dad in Ms costume, be took a red bet iron bar and carried it to a distance of over fifty feet, set texne straw on fire with it, and returned and pat It into the furnace Another time he carried a horning beam and walked upon a grating beneath which fagots wcra bnrning.

Could the Oregon Have Been Saved?

The lost Oregon was the fleetest ship on tbe Atlantic save one, the Etrnria. She was the pride of both sides at the water. Yet she now lies in 120 feet of water, 20 miles off Fire Island, sunk, it is supposed, by a little schooner which banged into -her amidships, and knocked a great hole into the iron plates of her side.

There are' those who think- the beautiful Oregon could have been saved Hero what an old Yankee sea captain says:

TTAH 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 die 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 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 Bucked ^i and the hole stopped effectually. IK-

I dont think there is any great ingenuity in this idea^ but 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!"

,Tr 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 of the wvod, the effect of the gutta percha being, when it becomes cool, to harden tho pores.

Facta of Interest.

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 iinproved 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. dermany 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.

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 ago, but have smaller, straighter brims.

Tbe 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 the 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 Draiw. Embroideries are the accepted trimmings, and are preferred to lace for cotton dreosos, but both are used Regular flouncing* vary from eighteen to forty-five inches in depth. There are fewer of tbe narrow than the wiue widths nsed for dresses, and in most patterns there are but two widths, one for the waist and sleeves, tbe 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 of embrsfdery 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 arotxnd the entire front and sides and be gathered over tbe back breadths, the ends covered by an ample sash, or tbe apron may meet the bade breadth at the rides. A' very pretty style has an apron of four yards and a balf of embroidered flouncing gathered into the belt in front with the underskirt, and with a Separate belt at the back so arranged the* the ends of the embroidery, which are gathered up into a narrow space, shall lap over each other acrtw the back over the tuui imt. A sash with a full bow is worn with nearly all cotton dresses.

Waists may be fuQ, in surplice style, or •early plain, with tacks either perpendicular or across, the latter being suitable eoly for very sUgfat figures. For ordinary ii ussts a tarned-ovcr or standing collar is equally appropriate, and turned-beck caffs of embroid­

ery are desirable. Small ball pearl buttons are the best for closing the waist Sashes may be of the material, with embroidery or laoe, or they may be of surah, ribbon, silk grenadine or faille, according to the occasion and tbe goods with which they are associated. —Demoresfs Monthly. ,^-li.

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.

Bonnets in General.

No more birds on bonnets. The edict has gone forth, and the slaughter 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 those, both in straw and beaded wire net work, in black, black and gilt, or any other colore preferred. The trimming is put directly upon the open work, tbe 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-«ap-tnrbans, for they seem to be all these in one, are worn without strings, and the back is loft without trimming, showing the shape. -IAI•'.

More About the Snmmor Drennon.

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 will be the most popular of all. Tnese 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 etamines or canvas goods, when washed and ironed, must be handled very carefully. They must bo stretched upon a thickly-covered ironing board and pressed lightly upon the wrong side. White goods are beautWul, 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.

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 the 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 ix th. coaching line.—New York'Fashion Basar.

jt 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 i* visible to a greater height below or between the draperies than in winter drosses. Sometimes this skirt is gathered all around at the top, and sewed to the foundation skirt, but in most cases 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.

It is a medicinal preparation, and, at the same time, an elegant and clcnuly toilet article. Its action upon the scalp is healthful, It nourishes the glands which support the hair, and causes thin, dry hair to becomo thick, soft,and vigorous. It restores the color of youth to locks which have become 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 me pleasure to testify to tho wonderful effects produced by nail's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renew cr, as observed by mc in very many cases. IT WILL CERTAINLY KESTOR* TIIE I1AIU TO 1T8 ORIGINAL COLOR. It clcanscs the head of dandruff, and leaves the hair soft, glossy, and beautiful." F. T.
