??MflMia i ???*aa FARM ANlfllO[ISeIoLDT Sheep and Their Faature. A little looking ahead will enable a farmer to adapt his sheep to the markets around hitn, and this should always be done. Even when remote from market, if the owner is willing to take the pains and establish a flock adapted to the purpose, he may rear lambs for any market where there is demand. Thus New York 18 supplied wim lamus irom \ irgimuumi North Carolina, and the intermediate territory, and also from the "West. An essential thing for the small farmer to do is to prepare a field for the keeping of sheep before he purchases them. Unruly sheep are a terrible pest on a farm, and there rs no need of their ever becoming so, if properly managed. A low fence will keep sheep in a pasture Drovided thev cannot climb over it. The poorest fence is a stone waH, unless there are rails on it in stakes; the rails will force the sheep back if they attempt to climb over it. A barbed wire, so strong that the head of the sheep will hit it in attempting to get over, is the cheapest, and at the same time a sure preventive. I have had walls of stone made three aud a half feet high, with a row of sticks under the capstones projecting over six inches, and these were effectual in keeping sheep. A rail or board fence is also ju3t the thing. "When sheep are kept in one field for several years they learn to * * ^ ? -1 ^ 1.1. _ Know tne lot, ana n uirneu oui m tuu spring they will go to it, and when once in do not care to leave it.

The brushwood and other litter left is the woods and known by lumbermen au "lumbermen's waste," so apt to occasion forest fires, was a subject of consideration at the meeting of the Americun i.Anof^Aie TKo enhinnf wno a.* yicouj v/uu^luwo, auv ouujvw mmw introduced in a paper read by Mr. B. E. Furnow, of New Ycrk, who proposed lo prepare a bedding material from the lumbermen's litter and transport it to the worn-out farms of the Eastern States. The arguments used by Mr. Farnow in favor of lumbermen's wa3te asafertilizer were in substance as follows: Wood litter furnishes a better and cleaner bedding for cattle than straw; the liquids are more perfectly absorbed and the dry excrements are quickly enveloped with woody fibre that prevents the soiling of cattle. Then the removal of tbe bedding ?? awiw w i* ??f n 'rtf if rei|uircs ica? tnuc, us vmj poi u m need be changed. The air of the stables is less damp and is kept purer in consequence of the total absorption of all moisture and the slower decomposition of the urine. This bedding material makes better manure than the straw bedding, because the wood litter binds the excrements better and retards decomposition and loss of plant fooi, especially the nitrogenous compounds. Mr. Farnow felt justified in his remarks because' lumbermen's waste has been experimented with in Europe with very satisfactory results in the manner described. Not conteut, hovyever, with the testimony of European experimenters Mr. Farnow reported testimony given before the Ontario Agricultural commission relatinc to the value of sawdust, first as - ? 0 - r a bedding aiid then as a fertilizer. Mr. Famow's proposition was, however, not to confine the experiments to sawdust, but to use a better mode of disintegrated brushwood, which, in his opinion, would, greatly surpass the former. The more fibrous condition of such material would he argued, augment its absorbing capacity; beside those parts of the tree contained in larger amount the important plant food desired in the manure.?New York World. Wcrnm ill Horses. The two species of worms from which horses and colts most commonly suffer are a pinkish white one several inches in length, which inhabits the smaller intestines, and a white thread-like one, about two inches in length, most com monly found in the rectum. The symptoms of the former arc a rough, staring coat, craving appetite, loss of lle&h and passages of mucus with the ftece3. One of the surest remedies for this species is twelve powders, each of which should contain tartar emetic one dram aud powdered ginger one-half dram. One of these powders should be given in a ball before* feeding for six mornings in succession. A convenient manner of making the ball is to mix the powder with a tablespoonful of linseed meal, then add just enough hot water to make it the consistency of dough, roll it out about two inches in length, having it large at one end and tapering at the other, and ,place it as low upon the roots of the tongue as possible, the small end downward, and hold the animal's head up as high as possible until it is swallowed. On the seventh morning omit the ball and give in its stead to a full-grown horse one and one-half pint9 of raw linseed oil poured from a runber bottle or horn, if such can be obtained, but if not, a strong glass beer bottle will answer if proper care is used not to break it in the horse's mouth. Omit all the medicine for one week, then give one of the remaining six powders every morning until all are used, repeating the dose of oil on the seventh morning as before. Get from the druggist four ounces of pulverized copperas and four ounces of powdered gentian thoroughly mixed. Give a ,iable8poonful in feed morning and night for one week, then omit in the morning, giving a spoonful at night only for nnnther week, after which omit. Tf these directions are carried out faithfully, the horse will begin to improve at once and soon appear like another animal. For the small worms found in the rectum, get six quarts of raw linseed oil, to which add three ounces of spirits of turpentine, and stir thoroughly until well mixed. Inject one pint of this into the rectum every night for six nights, using a common rubber bulb syringe if no other is handy. Omit the injections one week, then repeat for six nights, and no more trouble will be experienced from small worms. Give the powders recommended above, which will put him in condition for recovering tlesh and strength rapidly. ?American Cultivator. Form and Garden !Vote*.

In case of meats, the same care should be given to them as if they were freshly cooked, that is kept on ice or in a cool place. Au aid in making button-noies in a garment which frays badly is to take a piece of glue that has a smooth, and rather thick edge, dip it slightly in hot water, and pass lightly over the goods before cutting the button-holes.

Most people like to chew a mouthful of wheat when they have opportunity. Whole wheat, properly ^cooked and seasoned, is the most palatable and nutritious form for using this grain.

A Boy's Curious Memory. Urtn rt luimnn nKonAmonATl 1"LUlttUUipmo. niua in the form of an errand boy who has a marvelous faculty for remembering names, numbers and addresses. The Tiines says of him: There are over 375 fire-alarm boxes in this city, and about 5,000 fires have occurred within the past four years. Joe Berliner knows the location of every box and the date of every one of the 5,000 fires. He not only can tell the date, but he is able to give the exact minute that the alarm was struck and what lire companies went to it. Joe lives with his mother at No. 883 Ran dolph street. About four years ago he walked into Mr. James' establishment and applied for work. He was asked what referenceshe had, and he answered, "My mother." He was employed as an errand boy and has occupied the position ever since. Joe cannot read and on most subjects he is not particularly bright, but when it comes to anything about fires he is a prodigy. He is also a walking hat-store directory and knows the address of every hatter in the city. Joe was visited at his employer's place on Saturday and put through an examination that would have frightened a civil service applicant into a fit. He seemed to rather enjoy it and did not make a slip. Number after number was given to him from the printed list of fire-alarm boxes, and as quickly as the numbers left the lips of | the speaker Joe would name the street where the box is located. "Forty-two, Joe?" would be asked. "Shur's lane and Main street, Manayunk," would come as quick as a flaah. "Two thirtynine?" "Twenty-first street and Fairmount avenue." "Seven thirty-four?" "Koxborough station-house." "When was there a fire over there?" "Second of January, this year. A stable burned down. The alarm came in at 8:30 a. m." "Three fifty-eight?" "Sixty-third and Vine. It was never pulled there, though, It used to be at Front and Lehigh avenue, but was moved." "Three fiftyfive?" "There ain't such a box. There's three fifty-four; that's at Mount Airy and Main streets. It rang at 8:50 o'clock last Monday morning. Hadn't been pulled before for a year." "What's the number at Huntington street and Trenton avenue?" "That's easy?one-forty-five. Fire there on the third of February. Stable " " ?* <? _ ji burned down." His answers were venuea at the insurance patrol station on Arch street, abovo Fifth. The firemen all know him there. They call him Jo-Jo. Every day he stops in at the station to look at the horses and inspect the wagons. The men ask him all sorts of questions about fires and try to catch him in a wrong answer, but they never succeed. About two weeks ago two new boxes were put in, and when Joe came in he was given their numbers, 412 and 413. He hud heard of them, and knew just where they were located. When he is not busy at Mr. James's store he amuses himself by puliing off his coat, lying down and getting some one to call out a number. Then he jumps up, shouts the location of the station whose number has been given and goes rushing down the store, pulling on his coat on his way, as T fii-amfln rln TTn offpnrlpfl lie litis IUU ui&muu vivt AAV mv?v*iv*v?? a night school about a year ago for ju9t four nights. On the fourth night an engine passed the school-house on the way to afire, and Joe was following that engine in less than ten seconds. He never went to school again. When his employer makes out his customers' bills he keeps Joe in the office. As soon a9 the name of a hat firm is called Joe gives the address, and so saves the trouble of bunting it up. Mr. James says he is perfectly honest and faithful, and is as good an errand boy as he ever saw. All About Seasickness. ' 4 *- i.?? ~ r _ r>~ -I:_ At a recent meeting ui cue jji-uju mcdical society Dr. Ncuhaus, who lately made a voyage round the world for the purpose of studying the phenomena of seasickness, gave an account of his observations. He divides people who go to sea into three groups or classes?those who are never sick, the proportion of whom does not exceed three per cent.; those who are never well,who he likewise estimates at three per cent., and those who, after a few days' sickness, adapt themselves to their environment and suffer no further inconvenience. Seasickness, in the main ISCilUSeU UV l UK inj/iuijr mi j fit *.r>7u> is of blood on the brain, due to the upward and downward motion of the ship. A9 the ship descends into the troughs of a wave, the pressure increases; as she rises to its crest, the pressure diminishes, and nausea is the natural and ordinary consequence of a sudden rush of blood from the brain. "While journeying around the world Dr. Neuhaus ascertained, by personal observation and actual measurement, that when a sh:p is much tossed about the livers of those of her passengers who htive not got accustomed to the motion become alfected in a very remarkable manner. This is in part due to the loss of liquid in the system: but in bad cases, where the patient lies all day long in an almost inert condition, suffering from acute headache, the affection assumes one of the lighter forms of blood poisoning, from retention in the system of an ff rt l l ir element usually given on. unai ruuei may be obtained by lying ou the side, with the head resting on the breast and the knees drawn up as near as possible to the chin. In this position the variation in the pressure of blood on the brain is reduced to a minimum, and the stomach and its nerves in a great measure are protected from the vibrations of the ship. Chloral hydrate may also be used with advantage; it soothes the irritated brain, and often enables the suf'ferer to obtain much needed sleep. It should be given in doses of one gramme, but only when the sickness has lasted three or four days, not before. Alcohol is worse than useless. ( A Sndden Rise in Fortniie.

This young man had charge of a certain department of velvets in a firm on Worth street, and made all the way from $15 to $25 a week.

His father had performed the ceremony for the landlady ic earlier years, and she kept her eye on the clergyman's son and fed him dutifulh for $8 a week. He had often "played' the bucket shops and often made ven tidy little winnings. The landlady had raised $4,000 during her many years oi keeping boarders and was about to de vote it to paving off a mortgage on hei house when the solemn little clergyman'i son succeeded in persuading her to invest some of it in Wall street.

A Poet's Presents. It is related of the German poet Uhlanc that the king once offered him the Orde: Pour le Merite, with flattering expres sions of the royal regard. Uhland,how ever, declined to accept it. While hi was explaining to his wife the reasoi which moved him tn refuse the distinc tion, there was a knock at the door, A working-class girl from the Eeighbor hood entered, and presenting Uhlanc with a bunch of violets, said: "This 1 an offering from my mother." "You: mother, child!" replied the poet; ". thought she died last autumn." "Tha i8true,Hrrr Uhland," said the girl, "anc I begged you at the time to make a littli verse for her grave, and you s^nt me i beautiful poem. These are the first vio lets which have bloomed on mother'! grave; I have plucked them, and I lik< to think that she sends them to you wit! her greeting." The poet's eyes moist ened as he took the posy, and putting i in his buttonhole he said to his wife "There,dear woman, is not that an ordei more valuable than any king can give?' A mistake made by parents is in imag ining that they should be always given and children receivers. Thus the bal ance is destroyed in each, and both ar< injured?the children especially, in acquiring habits of selfishue^s. They oughl rather to be accustomed to receive grate fully, to give generously, and to do botl with gladness, thus learning that thei are both duties and pleasures whicf should never be entirely separated.
