THE FARM.
WinterFeediug Sheep.
'Upon the eubject of winterleedirg sheep
the Americen Sheep -Breeder avel Wool -
Grower says:
"There is a wiiie difference of opinion
to what sheep avoid be fed in winter. The
oidetime idea that Ann woul4 de yleety

straw has boeu'pacitty geuerally ithAudened in

vastly in the mbaority end rapidly becomleg
fewer.
"We have often allowed elreep to pick off
the luxes and t ue tender portion, and then
throw the eearhe portion& remaining over
to the horses and cattle in the yard, where,
by the way, Ito& will often est gremilly
what they would be slow to attack in the
stable. Sheep and young calves should, we
are setiefied, leave the fines; tenderest hay

an will be eaten tip quite clean. Sheep
like tbe heads and leaves of even the coaratst,
ripest timothy, for there ie much grain in
the head., but they should not be expected
to vie the comic stalks.
"To be sure, there are some kinds of fod-
der—the bean. stalk, for instance—that aheep
will readily eat, while no other animal will
touch it if given a choice in the matter, but
that is no proof theta cote diet a bean -stalk
or other coarse fodder is the beat thing in the
world for sheep. Sheep do not tint.° beat
on woody, fibrous fodder, nor does any other
farm animal. The slighter grinding power
and mailer capacity of sheep render them
lees capable of contenting such fodder than
larger animals are, In proof of title, look

timothy hay and the elover-stalks are near-
ly all lett, =lour, indeed, the poor sheep are
starved down to such diet.
"Perhaps more than any other animal,
sheep need. a little grain in winter, They
=appall through 'without, but they will not
thrive. Especially the ewes with lamb need
this supplementary ration of grain. it must
be borne in mind that the ewe with lamb is
doing double work at this Beason, She is
growing a heavy fleece of wool and at the
same time sustaining the demands of the
living, growing organism that she must soon
bring forth. This double strain upon her
system must be met and supported by extra
good rations. These demands upon her vi-
tality and enduring powers in the midst of a
cold, hard winter must be sustained by the
proper amount of fuel. The animal machine
has only a certain fixed capacity, and hence
bulk cannot be made the substitute for qual-
ity. A small portion of oondeneed grain
food is necessary to the welfare of the ewe
under these conditions. A pint a day each
of corn and oats will work wonders in the
thrift and appearance of a flock."
The Water Used by Animals.
Poor drinking water has killed much live-
stock, and the following from the Kansas
Farmer is pertinent: When we consider
the quality of the drink supplied to hogs we
have yet greater cause to wonder that the
amount of disease is not greater. Horses,
cattle, and sheep are given comparatively
clean water because they will not drink
filthy water unless forced to do so, and be-
cause the opinion justly obtains that four
water is to them destructive of health; but
hogs are given, or rather circumstances are
allowed to supply them with foul water, be-
cause inherited tendencies and education are
such that they will drink foul water, and
because the opinion unjustly obtains that
they are not so injuriously affected by foul-
ness of drink as are other animals. • But we
certainly ought to know, and certainly. we
are fast learning, that foul drink is just as
productive of a diseased •condition of the
body when drank by a hog as when drank
by a horse, and as we learn enore of the
nature and cause of svgine plague we under-
stand that so far as the health of the animal
Is concerned we would better give foul
water to the sheep, cow, or horse than to
the hog, for foul water prolongs the life and
favors the vigor of the bacillus, and whin
drank introduces the germs of this most vir-
ulent of all swine diseases directly into the
bodily organs. If we would safely preserve
the health of our swine we will not force
them to drink water from pools, ditohere and
creeks, but will supply them with water
from a well protected from impurities,

Whatever may be thought of the praotical
character of a recent invention there can be
no two opinions as to its novelty or the in-
genuity of the man who conceived it. The
man in question hails fronaBuffalo. His name
is Morrison, and ha invention is a scheme of
anial navigation by means of balloons, A
continuous series of balloons is anchored in
the ground, adjustably as to height, and a
wire cable is stretched from one to the other.
Along this cable cars are made to travel by,
that always reliable motor—gravitation.
When it train ib ready to start the first bal-
loon is allowed to rise high enough to make
the cable between it and the next balloon
an inclined plane, down which the oars run
with great rapidity. At the next balloon the
process is repeated and so on until the final
destination is reached.

At Oxford and Cambridge certificate ex-

only 263 proficient in French and 94 in Ger-
man, while, most deplorable of all, the num-
ber of those who paned in Engli8h did not
rise above 113. That is to say, it wouid
seem that more than six times as much at-
tention has been paid to Latin as to Eng-
lish, and that all the stilettoes had been es-
teemed of less than one-fifth the value of
Greek. Truly, if the study of the ancient
tongues of Greece and Rome is dying, it is

Frightful Scene at a Wedding.
.A letter just received from some Corn-
nish miners employed at the Eureka Mills
Gold Mines, California, narrates a hor-
rible occurrence at the celebration of a
wedding in the suburbs of San Francisco
last month. Several miners frcm Eureka
3/Iills were invited down to San Francisco
to take parb in the wedding festivities of
one of their comrades who had formerly
worked at the great gold mining station of
Eureka Mills but who had removed to
"'Frisco," as the Yankees call the city
of the golden gates. The name of the
bridegroom was Gill, and he was about to
marry it girl called Chargois, whose father
keeps a gambling -house in San Francine.
The wedding took place, and there was a
dance, which was kept up far into the
night with the usual Californian vigor and
abandon. Before leading away his bride
some of the party noticed that Gill looked
strange, and while the dance was at ite
height dreadfal screams were heard pro-
ceeding from the bridal chamber. On
haatening to the apartment the father of
the bride found the poor girl crouching
in a corner of the room and in a terrified
atate, while her husband was barking like
a dog and foaming at the mouth. He at-
tempted to bite some of the men, but was
shot dead by M. Chargois. Gill who is a
Cornishman went to California ten years
since, and if is stated that he was once
bitten by a dog.

be The old gentlemen was mired one
day if he could possibly preach a sermon
without alluding to his favorite doctrine.
He said he could, and would, if they
would give him a text without any bap-

ninth verse, was selected, which reads as
follows: And this is the number of
them : thirty chargers of gold, a thou-

his text, and said: "My brethren, I

Boycotting with a Vengeance.
One of the most extraordimary contests
between two dames of people hi the aame
oountry is now in progress in Ireland, ac-
companied by the usual exhibitions of burn-
ing animosity conspicuous In the contentions
of that warm-hearted and mercurial people.
Cablegrams say that the government :finds
the task of figheing this boycotting with the
police to be a most formidable and vexatious
strain upon the resoureee for the prserva-
tion of the peace of the country. This is
easily conceivable when it is understood that
families who have taken land from which
former tenants had been evicted find it not
only impossible to work it, but even th ob-
tain the necessaries of life from the shop-
keepers of the vicinage.
One of the oddest forms whioh this system
of boycotting has assumed is the refusal of
the Cattle Dealers' association of Munster to
ship cattle to England in the vessels of the
Cork steamship company, unless the com-
pany refusea to ship cattle boycotted by the
National league. In fact, the demand is that
no cattle be shipped unless the shipper can
produce a aertificate of league membership.
One curious part of this procedure is that
several stockholders of the company are
land leaguers, and that a majority of them
are liberals in politica This gives color to
the change on their part that the catttle deal-
ers are only making these demands in the
interest of monopoly.
Another curious circumstance in this mel-
ancholy contention is that the boycotters are
indirectly working againat the interest of
rattle raisers in the country, for the reason
that if the cattle are not shipped the values
of those remaining in the country must
largely decline. e
The custom of kissing babies is being
justly censured these days. It is cowardly
to kith the poor little helpless things, We'd
rather take somebody of our size.
The worst things are the perversions of
good things. Abused intellectual gifts make
the dangerous villain; abused sensibilities
make the accomplished tempter; abused af-
fectione engender the keeneet of all miseriee.
