A weed is as much "a plant out of Its proper place'' in the pasture as elsewhere, and where the pasture is devoted to dairy stock it may be doing more damage there than it would in mowing or cultivated field. It takes up food and moisture that are needed for the useful plants, and it sometimes Is of such a character as to be poisonous to the animal, and ofteu weeds impart unpleasant odors and flavors to the milk and its products. If the pastures could be cleared of weeds and bushes and their place given to better grass, not only would they produce enough for many more animals, but the milk products would be of more " uniform good quality. If the whole pasture cannot be cleaned in one sea on, clear a little each year. rrogreu in Sheep Husbandry. A review of the sheep ana wool production In the United StateR has just . been compiled and issued by the department of agriculture. It was prepared by J. It. Dodge and contains a lot of historical information of Interest to every sheep grower. According to this bulletin the flocks In the United States do not now aggregate as large a number of sheep as iu 1893 and 18&4. but they are increasing rapidly and bid fair to exceed before many seasons the highest former figures. The variety of breeds is greater than ever before. Where manufacturers desire a variety of wool they can get all kinds without going out of the country. This was shown when wool was collected for the Paris exposition. It is interesting to note that the de rilUL1 Ul iu .>fw r*ugiauu ua?? been steady for fifty years. Some New Englanders feel that there may be a profit iu raisin* sheep and producing fat lambs, hut they insist that there is no money for them in growing wool. Up to date this theory has not resulted in any marked increase in the number of flocks. In the Middle States, the conditions have been essentially tbeNsame. except in Pennsylvania, Ag^iere the decline was much less There has been but little ^(RvjRatio-" in the Southern States, as aheep raising has not been prominent. It is the gteat West that leads in the eheep^ndustry and shows a continued increase iu price and quality. A Satisfactory Dairy Itation. One of the most perplexing questions for the average dairy farmer is the ..feed ration. The cost of production must be considered and also the gen^ eral results.

The Knight on his prancing steed. rode up to tne uasue gate, auu sintuug his halberd upon his brazen shield the clanging sound rang out upon the morning nir and echoed through the coated grange. The ever watchful Senechal upon the outer wall heard the summons of the visiting Knight and responded. "Ho, there," sailed the Knight in stentorian tones, "Ho." "What wouldst, Sir Knight?" inquired the Senechal, removing his helmet. "Let the portcullis fall," said the Knight. "I would enter the Castle and see the fair lady who is its mistress. "Wait but a little," replied the Seneschal, '"and I will come again." The Knight bowed, and the Seneschal, descending into the. Castle, went into Ifoe grand hall where the fair lady sat upon a raised dais beneath a can ? -?/! an/1 nnrnlo upjr UI liuuauu auu gw?vt The Seneschal, bowing thrice, approached the hem of the fair lady's garment. "What means your presence here, varlet?" inquired the lady. "A Knight is at the gate of the Castle, fair lady,*' sfcid the Seneschal. "What would he?" "To see the mistress of the castle." "Is It the Knight of Campney?" "No, fair lady." "Then it must be the Knight of Aberdeen," she said, .half to herself, and blushing softly. "No. fair lady, it is not," said the Seneschal. "Not he, varlet?" she exclaimed angrily. "Then who is It?" "I know not, fair lady," answered the trembling Seneschal, "but, judging from his language, I should say it was the Man with the Ho."?Wash* ington Star. Japanese Immigration. 'Immigration to this country from Japan has brought a higher class with the laborers, aud one wnose coining ia a compliment to our educational system. Educa'tiou is relatively hard to get in Japan, where wages are so low that a student cannot afford to support himself and go to school, too. But the public schools in San Francisco and the two great universities at Berkeley and Palo Alto ate free to them, and ambitious young men of the upper classes have been glad to come to California, where they could work as servants in private households and hotels while preparing to take their ! degrees.

To Do Away With Labor Strikes. Thomas 1L Costello, a member of the New York general assembly, has prepared and will introduce a bill which he hopes will do away with labor strikes should it pass. The bill is modelled on the New Zealand law. Briefly, it provides for a permanent court of arbitration consisting of three mem bers and awards are to be compulsory. One member is to be chosen by the labor organizations and one by the employers, the two to select a third. This method has worked with marked success in New Zealand, no strike having taken place there in five years.
