Sher- :acrd sn4.ys: a• part from the fact that he latus always been a great reader of, the Bible. '1 thins':.;' he says, 'that i know my bible as few literary men know it.' Indeed, Ruskin has said of Hall Caine that he knows it • •hotter than any 'Hying writer of A'ct'ion, 'My great pleasure on Suudays,' says Caine, 'is to listen to the reading of the Bible in church, t is so wonderful, and how admir- aible is also the Prayerbook. The Bible has for me very much the same appeal that it had for Bunyan. There is no♦book in the world like it, and the finest novels ever written fall far short of and - one of the stories it tells. Whatever strong situations 1 have in ray books are not of my ereation, but are taiken from the Bible.. `The Deesnster' is the story of the prodigal son. 'The Bondnian' is the story of Esau and Jacob, though in my version sym- ' pathy attaches to Esau. 'The Scapa. • goat' is the story of ER and his sons, but wail Satnuel as a little girl. 'The Manxman' is the story of • David and Uriah. My new • book also -comes out of the Bible, from' a perfeetly startling source. • The Economical Use of Grain in 4i1 Fattening Cattle. Sir,—In answer to your request respecting the kind and quantity of grain I would recommend in the preparatory, second and finishing stages in the process of fattening cattle, I may say that'any opinion I may express upon this question, would be only an approximate as . indicating what we have found •to work well in practice upon a compara- tively small scale. In the fattening of cattle, I am nota believer in feed-. ing such very heavy rations of grain as' many farmers still persist in eramming• into their animals. In this country, where we have our animals stabled for such along time, I consider one of the ,;neatest secrets of success in connection with a sys- tem of stock-keepk, with a view to either beefing or dairying, lies in our being able to get our winter fodder preserved in the very best possible condition. °Fol' instance, imagine a farmer curing his hay when it has become so ripe that the substance has nearly all left the stem; also leaving his grata crop until it may be drawn in directly after cutting, and then, with this quality of fodder as the bulky portion of his food ration, endeavor to fatten his animals for the May Market. With such a quality of fodder, in which there must be a very small percentage of digestible food material, it does not surprise me that many consider that very large quantities of grain are re- quired, and more particularly so when animals have previously been partially neglected throught he want of a sufficiency of. pasture grass, or other suitable fodder to keep them good and thrifty and gaining at least moderately during the previous summer., Practical experience is constantly teaching us that there is ;no single • fodder upon which ani- mals will gain and fatten so rapidly as upon the rich pasture of spring and early summer, more particularl-v Viten it has reached that stage of . turity which it usually attains sthe threemtwo to weeks before k of farmers begin haying oper- , ` Ens. This practical lesson should ' also teach us that the nearer we can , preserve our fodder to this condition the more" digestible and valuable will its feeding qualities be. The analysis of good clover hay properly cured confirmed by the practical peas anctioats. Upon this. allowance of grain they are floing weld, •and I (consider rat (Mite sufficient to ,carry them along till January. For the next two months, with a 'mixture ,of clover hay, straw and insillage, six pounds of grain; pa mix- ture of peas, oats, and a littie,oil-csko, followed by certainly not more than eight pounds • of the same aaixture ldvtaing the finishing• period, should be quite suffleient to put the aninials in prime condition for Mai, ship - anent, Taos.

Raisirtg early lambs as proving profitable industry to them wito understand it, The earlier lambs city in tlarge i •,{e eaube sold h oy Market*. the higher ales price. The Cornett. Experiment Station has made .a test of various breeds for early tomb raising, extending over seyefial years. It finds that the Dorset Horned sheep breed earlier and faatten better lambs than the Shropshires. Other things being equal, the Dorset ewes give the most milk. and breed .earliest in the season, There is practically no difference between beets and ensilage as a succulent food for ewes rearing early lhlnbs. As a coarse fodder for the ewes and also for the lambs, there is nothing better than good clover hay. In fact this is once of the essentials to success in early lamb raising. As a rule ewes respond more liberally • to forced feed for milk production the second year than they do the first, but should not, be forced for milk pro- duction until the lambs are a few days old. The market early in the season does. not require so large lambs as the late market. 'The °best early market commences as soon as the holiday poultry is out of the, way, usually about the middle of January in New York City. Dorsets may be slaughtered at a somewhat younger age than Shropshires and yet will dress a little heavier. There is no particular difference between these two breeds in loss of weight by dressing, the shrinkage being 12 or 13 per cent. The price paid in the New York market for fancy lambs varies, from 30 down to 10e, per pound' according to the quality and appearance Early lambs are usually sold by the head, at $10 down to $5 or less for carcesses weighing 30 or 40 lbs. until southern Tennessee lambs come to market,. when the lambs are sold by the pound. The exact time at whieh this occurs varies from year to year. Sometimes the early lamb market continues up to the last of April or even the first part of May. VARIETY OF MEANS 'OF SALUTATION PRACTISED DT DIFFERENT P1 oPIt}. "'Tis certain," said Dick Steele, of kissing, "nature was its author, and that it began ,with the first coiirt- ship." But this is incorrect. 'Tis certain that to many human tribes kissing is unknown. Instead of say- ing " kiss me," they say " smell me," and this, doubtless, represents an earlier form of salutation. The kiss is much later than the dance. It is still unknown among many' races, and may be called conventional. Some nations smell and rub noses, like horses in salutation ; and, where two ;Frenchmen will run and kiss each" other, two Central Africans will deliberately spit, by way of friendly greeting. Dr. Taylor says: "The idea of the kiss being an instinctive gesture is negatived. by its being unknown over half the world, where the pro- vailing salute is that by smelling or sniffing, which belongs to Polynes- ians, Malays, Burmese and other Indo-Chinese, Mongols, etc., extend- ing thence to the Eskimo, and westward to Lapland, where Lin- naeus saw relatives saluting by put- ting their noses together. The kiss has to be taught to children. Prever, in his excellent boil, " The Mind of the Child," states that at first they are averse to and even fearful of the performance. However .:this may be, it is certain that Europeans speedily take to it, as though to the • manner born. Oseulations were far more common in the good old times than at present. The custom which most delighted Erasmus, when in England, was that the ,;iris all kissed hint. When ceasing to be performed, some of these ceremonies leave their traces in language. Thus both Austrians and Spaniards say "I kiss your hands," as a polite term for returning thanks. John Bunyan was a very different man from Eras- mus, and in his " Grace Abounding" he says: ": The common salutation of women I abhor : it is odious to mein whomsoever I see it." And to those who defended it as the holy kiss he pertinently asked " Why did.,they salute the most handsome, and let the ill-favored go? "—London Spec.. tater. A Merchant Testiflo3.

CORMIER, Wholesale and Retail Grocer, Canaan Station, N. B. 'latter Cara► of Sheep.. Sheep should be Herlihy and in good condition before winter begins, that when Bold weather comes the growth of the fleece uiay be cc 9stant and rapid. The greatest ea,r,de, is demanded to fatten at poor �i9�f.t in the winter, *tad it is imposEli,Vle to clip as, rutich and as good quality of wool front it as might have been one hard. it been in god condition before winter began. The first thing to be done is to divide your sheep into l!u s accord- ing to alae or purpose, In most cases a division into four flocks. will be sufficient, viz.; lambs, yearlings, breeding ewes and those desired to be fatted for late spring market. Tho rams should he separated from the others at all times when not in use.. The locating and arranging of a sheep house aro important factors to be tztkee into consideration. Loeate on 'dry ground and underdrain the floor well with tile or cobble stone to provide against surface wetter dur- ing freezing and thawing periods. The sheep lots should be supplied with a stream of living water, Ice water is injurious to sheep. I will give you a brief plan for a good and convenient sheep house that will accommodate 200 head of sheep. This plan is for four flocks of sheep, no diffenence how much they vary in number, and it can be made to accommodate more sheep by adding to length only, whieh does not dis- arrange plan of division. Size of • building 28x40 feet, two storey with room above for hay. Plant three parallel rows of stone pillars sit in a row, projecting above level of floor one foot; the second row 14 feet from the first, and the third 14 feet from the second. The length of building should extend' east . and west. Place 18 posts on the stone pillers six feet high, for upper sills to rest upon. This does away with lower .,ills, which are a nuisance. The upper storey may be built to suit the .builder ; better make it large enough. In the centre make a portable rack -8x8 feet, 8?; feet high. From this rack to centre of each end and' side make portable racks. This will divide the floor into four equal' divisions which may be changed by l shifting the racks, The hay can be ' thrown from above into the 'square rack, from there into the division racks. Make two doors at each end, wide enough to drive a wagon through then you will' have two driveways from end to end to re - remove manliire. Each door answers for a flock of sheep to pass in and out. Make two sheep lots at each end and the sheep cannot get under the eaves. Red -top or other good hay, with corn and oats mixed, is the uni- versal feed and sheep will do well on it. A'ration for 100 head of sheep is 3 pks. of equal bulk of cern and oats and 200 lbs. of hay, one-third fed in the morning and two-thirds in the evening. Stock digest best at night. Make a salt box for each flock of sheep sirnilar to one supplied for cattle, but much smaller. Mix 1 ib. of sulphur with 10 lbs. of salt and keep the boxes well. 'supplied with the same. Permit the sheep to run out or in during the day if it is not raining or snowing. Sheep can !his is trite as ado]: stand cold but not too. much wet. Horticultural Notes. Not all plants are adapted to winter culture. Therefore, one must select those that will bloom in winter. The best plant for bloom- ing is the geranium, This flower bloolns freely and constantly if' not exhausted during the summer. People may call it common and coarse, but they , cannot deny that with good care it is the most faithful flower -producer we have. In the tuberose and many, other bulbuous plants, offsets sprout the same year, and by taking off the offsets, plants can be easily propag- ated ; but some plants do not show signs of offsets, but the buds are made though they may not push into young plants.

If this bulb is cut into pieces, longitudinally, every one of these pieces will grow just as readily as the cutting out into sets of a potato tuber. As a general rule, no matter how thin these longi- tudinal sections may be a bulblet will push out from the base after planting. It is in this way that the rare varieties of gladiolus are propa- gated. In some cases, however, the buds do push a little the same season and form small grainlike bulblets can easel raised Strong bulbs Y from these bulblets. When so pro- duced, many scores of bulbs may be raised from a single one, Thisis one reason why some varieties of gladio- lus are priced very low, They can be se easily producted in quantity. The rare ones are those whieh cannot be produced in this wholesale way,. and as only a dozen or so can be produced front a single bulb in one season, the prices are proportionately screeching near them.
