VOXPLNTELY BEWILDERED. AMERICAN FtAMBOUILLETS The Famous Colby Farm Now gun by n Woman. More and more attention is constant- ly being given by stock raisers to pure blood in stock of all kinds, and espe- cially so is this true with regard to the breeding of sheep. The large sheep men are constantly seeking to improve their flock by breeding from registered rains of approved strains.. A growing favorite is the Bambara - let. This sheep is becoming more popu- lar every year, and its friends claim that it combines more of the character- istics of the perfect sheep than any oth- er breed. The Rambouillets began to be im- ported into the United States some years ago, and are now gradually spreading over the whole country, and particularly in the west, among the large breeders. It was not until 1889, however, that the American Rambouil- let Sheep Breeders' association was or- ganized, largely through the efforts of the late Air. L. B. Townsend of Ionia, who was the first member tosign the articles of association, its first treasurer, and under whose direction the first volume of The Rambouillet Rec- ord was printed in WI. Since that time the association has grOWII into a large and influential body, composed of some of the hest known :keep mete Mr. L. B.

"Mrs, De Grey told me that hue betels only loved children when they loved their wives." "Do you imagine, then, Daisy, that I do not love you?" he asked. "I know it," she replied, sadly; "and that was the reason I did not teil you about my little son. No =ratter what they said to me about trying to get well I washe1 to die." , "Oh, Daiey, Doisy, you torture me!" he said. "No. I do not mean to do that," she replied-.

The sweet, sad eetes were looking so earnestly at te COM' neetencietee. standard of theep breedinte sparing no Itei expense in importing nouillots into. this country and in introduciug them to the woolgrowers hero The Townsend farm at Colby, Mont - calm county, Mich., is known all over the coentry as the "Colby Rambouillet Farm" mul the place where this breed of sheep in all its verity can be found surrounded by the most favorable con- ditions possible for the breeding of sheep. The farm consists of about 1,500 aeras of land, well watered and With most excellent pasture. The buildings are large and adapted to sheep raising. The farm has -a. railroad station of its own, with a long siding for e.hipping purposes, and during the sheep season prominent sheep men from Montana, Idaho and Dakota can there be seen to- gether with men from TeaandMexi- co. Since the death of Mr. Townsend the Colby farm has been successfully managed. by one of his daughters. The history of the Rambouillet is in- terestingIn 1785Lonis XVI of France, who two years before had bought the domain of Rambouillet and established an experimental farm thereon, obtained permission from the king of Spain to purchase and take from that kingdom a flock of pure Merinos. The Spanish king gave orders that the selection be - made from the finest flocks of his king- dom. The Rambouillet flock was put tinder the care of an agricultural cone - mission at the beeinning of the French revolution and through all the horrors of that period it was preserved from danger. From the day of its foundation in 1186 to the present time, a period of over 100 years, this flock has been con- ducted witb the closest attention to feed, care and selection. From this flock and the equally well bred royal flocks of Germany have the American importations been made, and the royal Rocks of France never received better care from the king than they now re- ceive at the Townsend farm. a` The Rambouillet has a broad back, covered with a fine, well crimped wool, long, soft and compact. It is even over all parts of its body from his eyes to his hoofs. It is remarkably free from yolk, but with oil sufficient to promote the greatest growth, finest fiber and most compact fleece, which parts as a book opens. Longevity is a great point 'with these sheep, ewes trona 12 to 15 years of age producing good lambs. The best rams weigh from 200 to 250 pounds and shear from 15 to 24 pounds of wooL These rams are especially valuable to cross on Merino grades or any of the coarse wool breeds. The Rambonillet ewes make excellent mothers and under , proper conditions will produce lambs at r any season of the year, vahich is a great advantage as this is decidedly a na'ut- ton breed as well as a great wool pro- ducer. • BITTER CREAM. Hee, Poor Facilitiets May Outdo Good 'Instinct 0. How shall we keep cream fromget- ting bitter in winter? Mainly by pre- venting its suffering front the effehts of the prevaillug low temperature. Milk or cream does not get bitter when it is watering naturally at a proper temper- ature, says The American Agriculturist. Butter with a bitter flavor. coming from small bowe producers, is of fre- quent Occurrence. It is usually from farms where the housewife with poor facilities but good dairy instincts re- trains from setting her milk in the hot kitchen pantry and puts it in a room far too cold for it. Iu the latter place, where tbe temperature is usually a lit- tle above freezing, the milk will remain sweet for several days. tardily casting up its cream and theu without any avidity developieg a fermentative change takes pace resulting in the char- actsristie bitter flavor The natural end of healthy milk is 4e get our in at the most from two to three days.

EdwartlAtkinson makes a very sharp, keen remark when, in writing about the fearfnl waste of both skinearilk and cornstalk), he stays in effect that he does not heow much about farming, but when be sees this waste going on all because of the ignorance of naen be has a right to conclude that the event age farmer himself really imows but little of farming. Little as Mr. Atkin- son Irmo's, remarks Board's Dairyman, he knows enough to see this.big waste, whereas he talks with lots of farmers who don't know it. nor can they see it. Pope says something about familiarity breeding contempt Is that not the se- cret of this xnattex? So many farmers havefor so long a time been amens- tomed to this wasteful wale of handling cornstalks and skimmilk that they really cannot eea the wastefulnessof it. But Mr. Atkinson is right. clear away right, when he speaks of this fearful waste. Let it be remembered always that 40 -per cemt of the combined value a the corn plant is in the stalk. Let every farmer take that tact as his guide and, then so shape his farm methods, feeding methods and all methods as to save all of that waste possible. Let him also remember that 40 per cent has beenonce earned by lais own- expendi- tare for labor, and he must pay for the growing of it. If he wastes 40 per cent of what he earns, the responsibility rests on him and mot on Providence. A full study and consideration of that fact will be enongh to Lead any man out into better and more saving meth- ods if he will but follow its teachings.

If the dalsry farmer is located near a village or city, many times it will pay to establish a milk route, writes F. W. Maseley mm The Western Agriculturist. In some instances cream can be sold to hotels, ice cream makers, restaurants and to soda foniatain proprietors. If such openings have already been taken, doubtless the next best thing to be done, as a rule, will -be to make strictly first class butter and seek private customers for it in the same village or city. Such customers, once secured, are easily held, if butter is kept up to a high standard of excellence. Ascertain the amount wanted by each customer and deliver on a certain day each week. The de- livery of butter to private customers af- fords opportunities for selling other farm and garden products, including poultry, eggs and byprodects of the dairy cottage cheese, for instance, which some dairymen make from their skin:milk. A dairyman living quite a distance from town would not often de- cide to establish or buy a milk route; hence the decision has to be made as to whether it will be better and more profitable to make the milk up at home or send it, or the cream, to the publio creamery, or the milk to a cheese fac- tory, provided one or both of. those in- stitutions are convenient. There are, no doubt, times and locations when and where it may be better to patronize a 'To the Manner Dorn.

Professor Torvald Kohl of the Odder observatory, Denmark, reports that when the huge sun spot of Septembes last was crossing the solar meridian magnificent auroral lights flashed across the heavens, and the electric bells in the great telegraph station at Fredericia rang without any visible cause. The telegraphic service in Denmark was dis- turbed for hours during the auroral die' play. Professor Kohl thinks that the agency of the sun in producing the phe- nomena was evident Similar exhibi- tions of "wireless telegraphy" between the sun and the earth have bee* noted in the past.
