SHEEP LOSING THEIR WOOL. Oldest sheep are apt to lose wool from their bellies if grain fed, especially in feeding with corn. The cause is indigestion from over feeding. This produces fever, and the extreme heat under the sheep when lying down destroys the fibre of the wool, and loosens it from the skin. It is very hard to feed old sheep corn, | without overfeeding. In extreme cases clumps of wool are loosened from all parts of the body. Such sheep are utterly worthless for keeping. After lingering through the winter their owner has their hides and some verj* poor wool in the spring, for their keep. The experienced chppn hrpprlpr will not keep anv sheep I longer than .sis years, and he will not feed any sheep with corn except those he is fattening, and even then with great caution.?Boston Cultivator. CA$E OF CIIICKS. A little forethought saves much after-1 thought. When little chicks come out j they do very well in May and the earlier part of June, but as the hotter days of July and August crowd ou us, they need attention. In day time they want shade and grass, and at night plenty of fresh air. They should be kept in clean houses, dry and freshly whitewashed. They should not be let out in the morning until the dew is o2 the grass, and the air in their houses at night should be arranged to not fall too keenly on their little bodies, for we find these two evils bring on roup, or a species of what is known in our race as lihay fever." A little powdered sulphur and charcoal in their soft food in the incipiency of the malady, and a pinch of sulphate of iron in their drinking water is a preventive.?Farm, Field and Stockman. I MEAT AS A FERTILIZER. What are called animal manures are far more powerful than vegetable manures on account of the large amount of nitrogen which they contain. The flesh of all kinds of fish and quadrupeds makes excellent fertilizers, and usually contain about fifty per cent, of carbon and ten to fifteen of nitrogen, besides salts of potash, soda, etc. But fresh animal substances should not be applied directly to the soil, but first be decomposed by mixing with muck or loam, adding alternate layers of quick lime and plaster with a top layer of earth mixed with copperas. The plaster and copperas will prevent the escape of ammonia and Bulphuretted hydrogen, generated as the mass ferments. In a few weeks the heap should be turned over and broken up fine, adding fresh earth to cover the whole when the mixing is completed. There is no doubt some loss of valuable fertilizing elements by boiling the meat; still, the refuse matter, if properly com" ^ 4. At Iposea, is worm mucn mure jjer iuu iuuu the very t^st stable manure.?Nexo York Bun. '~ FLAXTESG TREES. ' The trees being snugly hecled-in, do not plant until the weather is settled, especially until the long wind storms are over. These winds are dangerous and shrivel up the bark and destroy the verdure of the buds, which the roots cannot yet supply with moisture. If the trees come to hand early this spring, it is best to heel them in until the weather gets warm. If trees after a long journey in warm weather are found to have the buds started and the bark shriveled, trim them back, and cut cach branch back to a sound, dormant bud. Then dig a trench in suitable soil, and lay in the trees one by one, taking carc that in filling in every part of the shriveled bark is in contact with the moist soil. Cover all completely, root and branch, taking care that the labels are properly preserved. When the trees are taken up at the end of a week or more, the bark will be found completely restored. Examine the roots and prune the mutilated ones with a smooth cut. Prune the tops into proper shape. Some I nurseries give a large head, while others cut the young trees into shape while yet in the nursery rows. A covering of finely divided, light soil over the roots is a great benefit to newly-planted trees.? American Agriculturist. WHITEWASH FOIt OUTBUILDINGS. There are several preparations of lime used for washing outbuildings. The principle upon which all of them are made is the same, viz.: To make the lime insoluble so that it will not be washed off. The particular receipt referred to is as follows: Half a bushel of quicklime is slackcd with boiling water in a barrel, the barrel being covered while the slacking is going on. The slacked lime is strained and a peck of salt dissolved in warm water is added to it; also three pounds of ground rico boiled to a thin paste, half a pound of Spanish white, and a pound of powdered glue dissolved in warm water. The whole is mixed and I left for four or five days; when used it is made hot and kept hot. This is quite weather-proof and will last for three or four years. If color is desired, burnt umber will give .1 light brownstone tint, which is very agreeable. Another wash consists of half a bushel of lime slacked with boiling water enough to cover it five inches deep; when the lime is quite slacked it is diluted with water, in which two and one-half pounds of sulphate of zinc and oue pound of common salt are dissolved. It should be of a creamy consistence. Three pounds of yellow ochiv will give it a rich cream color.?At ic York Timed. KASPBERRY^CULTLT.E. Bulletin No. 4 from the Agricultural Experiment Station at Auburn. Ala., includes in its contents the following on the culture of raspberries: "There is some difficulty in growing the black cap type on account of liability of the canes to be sun scalded where they bend over, and their failure in field culture to propagate. They propagate by layering at the tips of the new canes in tljg ltttv fail.. If our seasons are dry they often fail to take root. The plants, however, bear abundantly, and may bo grown for propagation in partially shaded positions, such as the north or west sides of the fences. I "Twenty-five varieties have been grown for three years in the horticultural grounds of' this station, upon high sandy soil, with results showing that the red yari~ ? 1 ?? ? -' rrofn I CtlL'S 3.11 U 5UIUU U1 LUC livsjinia pvpgura : as readily as briers, bear as abundantly and endure our long summers equally as well. This is especially true of the Turner and Cuthbcrt, two exceedingly hardy and productive varieties, producing berries of exquisite beauty and delicious flavor. Golden Queen, a hybrid variety of superior quality, has given entire satisfaction. SchalTer's Colossal, a cap variety, propagates readily by cuttings, produces abundant crops of very Jarge berries of an unattractive purple tinge and is especially desirable on account of its lateness in ripening, commencing just as the earlier varieties finish bearing and thus prolong the season, j The red varieties propagate by root cutting and hence should be planted not nearer than four feet each way. "The soil should be made rich for best results with raspberries and kept so by annual top dressings of well rotted compost or a mixture of cotton-seed meal, phosphate and kainit, applied in early spring and forked in. *, "The old canes which have borne fruit must be removed in winter from all types. The canes grow one year, bear fruit the next, and die. 4lTVin iwl TrqriofiPO clinillfl h.lVG the new canes cut back to two feet in June or July to cause them to branch and become storky and self-supporting. The cup varieties must not be cut back until winter if plants are desired to be formed at the tips of the vines." FA KM AND GARDEN NOTES. Plant plenty of peas. Is your see^ corn ready? Clean your oats before sowing. Get your onic? in as early as possible. To have tender lettuce don't sow thick. Use hemp twine this season if you car get it. A loose, slack-looking apiary is unpardonable. To secure cells above a full stock, you must use perfect excluding zinc. The boy on the farm is entitled to more consideration than he usually gets. Early spring is the best time to begin preparations for the autumn fairs. Good tools are essential to good farmintr. a savin? in time and cost of labor. Don't have fear about frost hurting early grass seeding, for it don't work that way. It is always late to sow grass seed aftei the first few favorable days in spring have passed. The difference between the cost of production and net price received, is what constitutes the farmer's profit. What arrangements have you made to make the work of your wife less the coming season than it was the last? After the proper preparation of the soil and good seed, careful planting is a matter that is very apt to be neglected. * Sheep husbandry is* a very poor business for a farmer who is not acquainted with it and has little aptitude for learning. Never take a boy away from school because he knows more than the teacher? just get a teacher who knows more than the boy. Enough sheep is absolutely required? enough to restore jaded faculties?and failure to get it is sure to be followed by loss of powers. Our country is large, and its interests are varied; but it is not too large for brotherly affection to exist between its most widely separated parts. A farm horse that steps briskly at the plow, or harrow, or mower, is worth much more than another equally good in appearance, but a slow poke. It will be better to defer planting a day or two rather than attempt to do it with the ground wet, or when from any cause it is not possible to get it into a good UIIU. Every step from the plowing of the soil, through the various steps of applying the fertilizer, planting the seed, cultivating the crop and harvesting, requires attention, and careful attention. There is nothing that arouses the anger of bees and causes a quicker resentment than crushing them between combs and under hive covers. By using some kind of mat'ov?r the frames, a large part of this difficulty will be removed. A Camp of Grass Huts. Osman Digna's camp at Handoub, whence he recently retreated to Tokar, was composed mainly of grass huts. It was about one and a half miles long and three-quarters of a mile broad, and must have been capable of containing from 12,000 to 16,000 people. Most of the huts were enclosed by grass fences in groups of from three to thirty huts. Nany were made entirely of sleepers and rails taken from the old Berber Railway. No attempts seem to have been made at fortification. The bush was cleared for about a mile around the camp, though probably more for the purposes of fuel and thatching than for any military reason. Osman's own home was a very neat grass hut, and apparently he did not care about being disturbed by unwelcome visitors, as between his salon and his hut there was a regular fence made of wire entanglement through which there was only one entrance at th<' side.

Black Sand Mines. The fact that the black sand of the ocean beach contains gold has been known for years, butjill attempts at getting it out in paying quantities have been failures. The San Jose (Cal.) Herald, however, reports that an experienced Colorado man named Kent has found an inexhaustible deposit, from two feet to ten feet deep, lodged in the hills adjacent to the coast and about 100 feet above the level of the sea. He claims to have a process, known only to himself, wherewith he can extract the particles of gold so as to pay from $3 to $10 per ton. A party is also at work in Santa Barbara County, near the mout h of the Santa : Yuez River, who claim to be making a good profit by working the black sand. : They handle thirty tons of sand daily,and i claim to save $10 to the ton. If this is ' [so tliVU they haye struck a bonanza, c HOUSEHOLD MATTEBS. TO KEEP CAKPETS. Pea-leaves are good to scatter over carpets before sweeping, not only to freshen the colors, but also to prevent the dust arising, but common table-salt is even better. It is heavy and so more readily answers the last mentioned purpose, and it does wonderfully brighten the colors. This is not so expensive either, as the same salt can be made to do duty more than once, if, after each time of service, it be slowly passed from one hand to the ntVipr rrpnt.lv hlnwinf the dust OUt. """"! O ~ J O MUSLIN DELAINE REVIVED. French modistes, according to a contemporary, are reviving for spring dresses the old-fasliioned mousseline delaine or wool musliu?a smooth surface wool as light as veiling and softer to the touch. It comes in solid colors, but is especially suited to the present styles when finished with a narrow border along each selvage, which is widened into large figures at the corners to be used at the foot of the dresS skirt. Gray with t>iack borders, green with black or fawn color, and beige with brown borders and corner pieces are among the choice patterns. The fabric is double width, and two of its wide breadths form the skirt, a corner piece falling at each side of the front breadth and also in the back, while the narrow borders extend up the sides to the waist beside panels of silk or velvet the color of the border.?New TorTc Herald. SLUMBER-ROBE. Without a slumber-robe, that part of the room occupied by the lounge is found wanting, declares a lady in the Prairie Farmer. I have made an inexpensive one of turkey-red cheese-cloth, cotton-batting and black zephyr. Of course, we would all prefer a "dream of a robe," and might have one if we could spare the time and afford the material for its construction; but where time and means are limited, as they are in my case, one like mine will be I found useful, and is really very pretty. I I chose dark colors to avoid laundrying: Put cotton batting between two sheets of cheese cloth, made the desired size?mine is two yards long and one and one-half wide. Tie it the same as you would a comfortcr, adding a few strands of zephyr to each knot to give it a fluffy appearance. Around the edgp I put a zephyr fringe. Knitted or crotcheted lace, such as is used for trimming flannels, would finish the edge nicely, if one has time to make it, PLANTS THAT BRIGHTEN TEE IIOME The simplicity and beauty of the plants that brighten the home should recommend them to all. When one sees a large ball of green flecked with blue stars in a window it is hard to believe that tho delightful eflcct is gained by sprinkling flaxseed in a sponge. This is a very cheap and easy way of beautifying a window. The sponge should be suspended, moistened just enough so that the water will not drip from it and the I flaxseed should then be thrown over it. ' If the suontre is kept damp in a few weeks a very pretty floral ball will be the result. The flower, formed like n star with a white heart, grows on a stalk. The leaves are fern-like in shape and the ball makes a charming window ornament. A very pretty flower pot is a pine cone. Canary seed sprinkled in one will take root and give a bushy green foliage, thickly dotted with beautiful flowers liko the heliotrope. By suspending the cones between vases containing trailing plants and training the vine along the strings a very charming effect is gained. For pots containing flowers of bright foliage, those made of porous clay are the best. The pot should be placed in water and then rolled in seed, which takes root and grows just enough to enhance the beauty of the flower. Sweet potatoes, with the ends cut off and placed in water, send forth a beautiful vine, on which grows a pretty blue flower. The vine grows rapidly, and may be trained around the vessel in which the potato is placed, almost concealing the source of life. Carrots and turnips grow in water, and with little care make a very pretty window j plant. The water should be changed as often as sediment makes its appearance in it. There are a hundred ways of ornamenting the house cheaply and easily with plant life. The plants referred to are of easy and rapid growth, and need but little care, giving the most beautiful results for a minimum of attention. In planting vines for window decoration the richest garden soil should be used,and all dead or decaying sprouts should be reo4 A?/?n 77W/V>/*9 0/*/) nhmnorl/i iiiUVCU Ul< CWrtiWUHv WW V.'.w y<??vwi - . , RECIPES. # - ^ ^ Fruit Jumbles?One cup of butter,two cups of sugar, three-quarters of a cup of sweet milk, two eggs, three and a half cups of flour, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one cup of currants, half a nutmeg, grated.

New Beets, Butter Sauce?Select two medium-sized Bermuda beets; wash and dry them without breaking the skin; cover -with fast-boiling water, slightly salted, boil thirty-five minutes; remove, scrape off the skin and cut them in slices, and the slices into stripes. Melt an ounce of butter, add to it a little salt, pepper and a teaspoonful of vinegar, pour it over the beets and serve. Mutton Stew?Take a knuckle of mutton, cover it with barley, a few capers, finely cut onions and thin slices of turnips, season with pepper and salt; let it steam or simmer gently for one hour and a half; then pour over it some melted butter and let it steam or simmer twenty minutes longer. There will be a very nice gravy by that time and the meat will be as tender as chicken. Serve garnished with the vegetables.

Stew the vegetables partially in gravy, and season with pepper and salt. Trim the edges of a dish with parsley; put in the vegetables, pour the gravy over this, cover and bake. Cream or milk slightly thickened with flour and butter may be used instead of gravy. * Dancing at El?hty-Fire. The island of Nantucket is off the track of the modern world. The people and their customs are very unlike those in any other part of the world?the "off-island part," as the Nautucketers are wont to call it. Old-fashioned customs and habits prevail. They know but little about the new-fangled manners and methods of modern social life. They follow the beaten paths of a century ago, live simple, thrifty, laborious lives, and furnish little business for the doctors. They thrive financially and physically. A visitor at an evening gathering on the island, not long since, tells how one lady, aged ninety-one. presided at the piano, and another, aged eighty-five, danced. "And you may take my word for it," adds the visitor, "that the dancing was sure-enough dancing, if one might judge from the lady's snapping eyes, nervous speech and decisive character." Locality and climate would seem to have comparatively little effect on health and longevity if people lived simply, as nature dictates, and when ailing built up with nature's simple remedies, like Warner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, instead of pulling down the system by using poisonous mineral drugs'. People who hasten to th? physician every time the^ have a headache, or experience any of the minor evidences of nature's sure revolt against disobedience of her laws, will not be found dancing at eighty-five. The EVSprfl] 0f the apothecary lead to early physical rlec&'y. Th? rugged Nantucketers, who enjoy life's pleasures when octogenarians, illustrate what the "oft'-islsnd " portion of the world may experience if they live by nature's law and use old fashioned log-cabin remedies of roots and herbs for the ordinary ills that flesh is heir to. Purifying' Raw Coffee. Talking with a leading wholesale grocer, the other day, he interested me not a little in describing improved methods by which raw coffee is now cleared of impurities before being ground. It first goes through a roaster. The roasted berry is considerably mixed with sand and grit and smail stone. This is the principal impurity of raw coffee, and the one most difficult to remove. The latest invention for that purpose is an air . shaft running from the cellar to the garret of the building in which it is operated. Upward through this shaft a current of air is passed of just sufficient force to carry the roasted berry to the top floor, but not strong enough to carry the sand and small stones, which drop into the basement. As the coffee rises to the top floor, after being thrown in at the bottom, it is swept to one side and then sent to tho grinding machine.?New York Graphic. Sexuality in Atoms. Mr. Mason Kinnc is a quiet gentleman who lived for many years in this city. He is an enthusiastic member of the Microscopical Society, an honorary member of several foreign scientific societies, and contributes to several scientific journals. He is an indefatigable investigator. Some time ago he declared that he had discovered sexuality in atoms?that is, after examining the smallest fragments of inorganic matter, iron and other mineral substances, he had discovered certain traces that led him to believe that all atoms, animal and vegetable, are either male or female, and reproduce their species. The importance of such a discovery cannot be estimated. If verified, and Mr. Kinne is confident that it can be verified, it means the revolution of sciencc?a new alphabet for geology, chemistry and nattural philosophy.?San Francisco Call.

Gathering of coral and sponges is an important industry on the Florida reefs. Both are frequently found in the same locality. The sponges are found wherever the bottom is rocky, generally from ten to thirty feet beneath the surface. Two or three dozen schooners are now engaged in the work of gathering the sponges, each schooner carrying two small boats, manned by a crew of two. When tne reel is reached the small boats put off, and while one sculls the other keeps an eye out for sponges. A simple contrivance enables the watchmen to see sponges on the reef twenty feet or more under the water. On the side of the small boat a long barrel sort of arrangement is built, the lower end of which is under water and closed up by a glass head. By placing his head in this barrel the watchman can see through the clear water to the bottom of the sea with remarkable distinctness. When a good sponge is detected it is brought up with an iron hook on a long pole. An Extraordinary Reminiscence. That was a most extraordinary reminiscence which the speaker (Judge O. W.
