Raising Lambs by Hand.
I have raised a great many, some-
times three in one season. My hus-
band always gives them in ray care if
their mothers do not own them. If
the weather is eold I take an old blank-
et or piece of carpet, wrap the lamb in
it as soon as discovered., and place it
near the fire to get- warm. I then put
about half a teacupful of milk into a
'basin, with a very little New Orleans
molasses, if the COW is not 11, new railch
cow. If she is, I do not use molasses,
itis more apt to sour on the -lamb's
stomach. I never put in a drop of
water, as a lemhwents nourislare.ent.
More lambs are starved than overfed,
Next 1 place my finger in its 'mouth-,
and with a- spoon. dip in sante milk A
young lamb is -a hungry little thing and
will suok anything greedily. After a
little I put its nose into the milk and.
teach it to drink like a Calf, or I feed it
from aabottle, say three or four spoon-
fuls at first, and. in hall an hour I feed
it again, increasing the (uantity. It
should. b.e fed. as often as once in two
hours. Half a teacupful will not
irart a Iamb. .After it is 24 hours old
the quantity should be increased.
Should one becorae costive' put a tea-
spoonful of melted. lard into the milk
Agana I say do not starve them.. I have
raised More than 20 and never lost one
from overfeedMg. They should neither
have skimmed milk nor cream, but as
near new Milk as may be.--Correspontl-

lazy, liStless men who dread the- artid.g-
wry of thinking. Nor -is a mere se-
quaintance with the ideas and. practieee
of progressive farming enough. There.
must be practical experience on) the
farm and. some degree of practical
work and. attendance by the -omaner.
Thousands of farmers fail for 1a4c of
this, especially men who disdain to
learn the ways of common farmers in
the conceited ashirance that they can
do a great deal better. There can be
no greater mistake than this. If we
want to.: improve anything the first
requisite .is to thoroughly understand
its methods and management. No man
learns to be a superior farmer until he
first learns how to be a good. ordinary
farmer. Honest joe Gregory's advice
to Pip, when that young gentlenaan as-
pired to be something -uncommon, con- I
tained a world of shrewd and homely
wisdom. You will never get to be ;
uncommon until you have first got to be I
common." This is true of almost ev- I
hing, and it is especially true of
farroirig.
Titre Bred. Stock Unprofitable.
Many farmers have made the naistake
af trying to keep and breed a herd or
flock of pure bred animals, and. have,
through their frequent failures, brought
, discredit upon such steck. Pure-bred
itoek, as a rule are not profitable for
farmers.. They cost too rauch ; no
farmer can afford to pay!t2,000 to $3,000
for a, herd of ten pure-bred cews. They
are used to careful tending and high
feeding, and their product is no greater
than the average of good grades of these
breeds. We knew of no herd of pure
pled animals .in. existence that would
ray its cost of purchase and keeping by
la produet of milk, butter. or meat
lone; it is only by the sale of; 'animals
r breeding that tb.e profit is made.
ut admitting this to be true, pure-bred
Ittaack are not, for this reason, to be.con-
`sidered of less value. If we have not
the pure Sock, how can we procure
the graales,which are found so profitable 7
Grades of high character, are the most
profitable farmers' cows. Experience
pro-ves this to be 80 111 eve*: case. One
pure bull, which may cost 1$250 to $300,
will sire during his vigorous period, at
least 50 CalVOS, thus adding a, small
trifte to the cot of each over that of
a calf from a common, scrub bull. By
adhering to one breedthere is a certain-
ty of arriving at a very definite result
very soon; but by the too frequent
habit of changinu every two or three
years, no satisfactory result is gained,
and after a life -time of futile effort,' the
farmer ends where he begun, and be-
rates pure bred. stock as the cause of
all his failures. As with COIN'S, 80, Witli
sheep, swine and poultry. The pure
breeds are not found profitable to keep,
except for their services in raising
grades, and keeping up a supply of
breeding animals for this purpose. In
this way a farmer who can afford it
may be juatified in purchasing two or
three piire-bred animals for improving a
herd of goOdnativee, and if he uses these
with skill, he may find it very profitable.

Irishmen as Athletics.
Ireland has been famous- for walking
feats and walkers. Tilde, in his his-
tory of Irelend, says that the old Irish-
men outran tht swiftest horses, and
were able to walk, or run, or leap, or
jump all day long. A "hard runner"
who was attached to the McNamara's,
of Moreake, is said to have been equal
to the best horseman • at a, deer
hnnt, and to run with the
hounds from Quinn to Ennis-
tyraon. The Burkes of Meelick had
a footman who was told on Saturday
morning by his master to deliver a let-
ter in Dublin that day. 1.1eelick is cer-
tainly n.olese than 70 or 80 Irish miles,
The footmen hard runners and walkers
of those days,sometimes dispensed with
sh.oes or boots, but they never forget
the king supple staff, which ena,bled
them to jump over a difficulty, or leap
or vault, or run when occasion warrant-
ed. There was a great meeting of hur-
lers on the following day (Sunday) at
Rteelick. Mr. Burke went to see it.
The first man he rad on the ground.
was the footman. "1 told. you to go to.
Dublin on important business," said. he.
to the footman, "and. yet you are here."
"And sure I did, your honor, go to
Dublin, and delivered. yOur letter to
Mr. Bindon, and here's the answer to
your letter," pulling from: his° con/Idris
bag a letter for his master.
Little Matty Considine; of Ennis,
walked for the present writer from Ennis
to Nenagh in. 1811 with an iinportant
report for the Vindicator. He set ont
the morning, was in Nenagh about 2
o'clock p. m., and after parts,king of the
best of refreshrnents he befook himself
to the road again, and was in Ennis on
his return that night about 10 o'clock.
The distance to and from is about 62
Trish miles. Nenagh had its hard run-
ner about 20 years ago, in the person
of a man named Flannery, who thought
nothing of coming to Limerick in a few
hours, and, returning on foot, after de-
livering his message. Captain Berkley
was the great walker of England., about
80 years ago, but he threw the weight of
his body on the knee jomts, and he nev-
er tired however long the walk.
=Walking for wagers is as old as the
hills; and. while we have a sporting
world there -will be patronizers of those
who exercise themselves in this arduous
A Lobel :Farrier S olilo gel i ees.
A thinking Conway fanner thus re-
views and philosophizes Save the ap-
ple crop and the fell feed which was
pinched by drought, my crops last
year were above the average. Hay, the
great staple of the farm, Was lio-ased in
good cOndition. An acre of pasture
lend treated to eight loads of composts
and 1,500 pd-unds of half -dry fish graano
Yielded 160 bushels ()fears of firstquali-
ty corn. My 3i; agies of tobacco was
of heavy growth and good quality.
Wheat; although partially winter killed,
gave a return of 32 'bushels per acre.
Oats and. potatoes were fair. A piece
of thin mowing, that received a coat of
stable manure after the first haying, was
turned. over and a light dressing of
phosphate and salt harrowed'
Swedes and sugar -beets were set out
upon it, which yielded a fair return.
Some people say that the farmer is. the
meat independent of men, beeause he
raises so many things he needs, but I
find two sides to this assertion. If
there was no eost1 in the production and
all could be sold for cash, the farmer
could make money. As it is, it takes a
wiser man. than I am to dispose of or
feed. out his crops -with ranch profit.
The pure air and glorious sunshine are
for all mankind, but whoever works
hard all d.ay and sits down to rest at
night to milk 8 or 10 panting cows, with
the mercury at 90, feels the force of that
great truth, " Man must eat bread by
the sweat of his brow."

The stress of the time is compelling
thousaaada of families who have hereto-
fore lived in cities to go to the country.
Men who have failed. in other business
take the remnants of their fortunes and
•betake themselv6a to the country, with
the idea that they can make money by
farming.- Almost invariably this idea
has proved delusive. Men who do not
succeed in avocations Where they have
spent theirbest years, and. • which, it is
to be presumed, they understand, will
not usually do better Ina business about
which they know little or nothing,
Farming, especially is a poor business
for beginners. It requires considerable
capital, and unless thie is carefully
watched much is sure to be wasted.. If
we are to have an influx of thousands
crowded out or etarved out of the cities
the prospect is quite as lAtte. Farming
is a safe business, but even this is only
true of experienced farmers, for they are
invariably so cautious that they would
make any business safe. If the begin-
ner in farming thinks of going ahead at
railroad speed, there is just as much
likelihood of a mash-upon the farm as
on the rail.
We kuow very well the answer which
-will be made to these forebodings. It
is that the city farmer prcposes to do
se much better than all his neighbors
that his increased expenses will be more
thau met by still larger profits. They
know pray the rose-colored side of
farming. " Nature works for the hus-
bandman. Ile plants ar sows the seeds
and. the crop is growieg while he is
sleeping." These and like aphoriams
have satisfied them that farming isa
simple and easy business. If farmers
do net ma.ke money, it is because_ they
are se indorrigibly stupid and old -fogy-
ish. With all their dtaibte about the
ability of average farmers, they have
male whatever as to their own. "Wait
till we get on the farm, and we will
show the natives how good crops are
grown !" This is the thought aud Often
