ton. Ten acres of clover and peas will,with ,

' There are many different opinions as to
what kind of sheep are the moat profitable
to raise. This I believe should be regulated
by the quality of the soil. The Cotswolds
acme years ago were awarded the medal at
Toronto Industrial against all breeds for
the beat pair of fat sheep for exportation,
which was won by ewes weighing 345
pounds each. .Again recently at the Lon-
don Provincial show the Cotswolds were
awarded first prize against all others, al-
though it seems to be is mistake—the com-
petition of one bead against another. The
Dominion Sheep Breeders' Association
could make a change in this particular
satisfactory to all interested. The real
value of Cotswolds is in creaming on other
breeds or on grade flocks.
Mr. Russell, Swanwick, Manager of the
Agricultural College Farm at Cirencester,
Gloucestershire, England, showed me a
flock of sheep, two of every kind in Great
Britain, which he had collected together
that he might compare their feeding quali-
ties. He remarked at the time that is great
many of their Cotswold rams were used in
Eugland to cross on Down ewes, to improve
their feeding quality, and no doubt the
mutton aella for Down mutton on the Eng-
lish marketa. The gain in using Cotswold
rams in Canada is to get size for shipping
purposes, as we all know it is the weight
that brings the profit. I oan ,only give my
11: own experience in breeding Leices-
ow .
ters, Cotswolde and Shrop-
he shires. A few years ago I fed in
ter one pen two pairs of first prize
Cotswold ewes at the English Royal, and
e- one pair of Shropshire ewes, first prize win-
ners at the H. S. Show in Seotland ; raised
ch pure-bred limbs from them all, and find the
Cotsvrold will produce the heaviest lambs,
and in shearings again I find the Cotswold
will shear about three pounds to two of the
Shrops. Canada has only beeu a resting
place for the Cotswolds on their way to the
west, even as far as Colorado. The wool
dealers injured the .reputation of the Cots-
rrolds, as they fancied every coarse fleece
was is Cotswold when not ono in five hun-
dred was from pure-blooded Cotswold
sheep. The demand for Cotswolds in the

Won as to sincerity, aud. justly ao. Take,
Lor example, the use of mourning paper.
ozi pepple edopt paper bordered by a
bleak band fully half an inoh in width. To
say nothing about good taste, which may
not be considered under the circumstences,
the use of each paper is entirely too con-
apiouous. It obtrudes your grief upon every-
body, and makes a diaplay of it. The mat-
ter is wholly personal ; it is not necesaary
to proolaim it to the world.
In the wearing ot riuga and jewellery, a
lavishness of display is often noticeable.
This also ia bad form, being a parade of
mere personal wealth. Rings and jewels
a* all right if worn in moderation, but true
refinement never indulges in excesses of
dreas or ornamentation. It is this over-
doing of things that leada to difficulties,even
as too much study may weaken your eyes
er destroy your health, thus preventing for
a thne at east further acquirement of
knowledge. In speech, also, euperlatives
are too ofte used, and they serve to
awaken dist .ust. Absolute perfection is
indeed rare, nd exaggeration plays a great
part in modern life. We think too much
of our own iMportance, or talk too much of
ouraelves, We dwell too much upon fam-
ily or society, and lend a fictitioue value to
absolutely empty things. The use of su-
perlative words often tends to destroy the
impression that we wish to convey, simply
because we overdo things. A light curb, a
little thought regarding things of this life,
seems to accomplish the end much bett r
than going to any extreme, howtTer str

Dunning Letters That Came.
The charming blonde who presides at t
registered letter window of the poideffl
threw up her dainty hands with surprise
few days ago when a gentleman walked up
to the window and, upturning is big grip,
dumped it a contents before her. There
were 470 letters to ,be registered. Such a
task had never before fallen to her lot. Her
appeal for help brought the chief of the
division, who provided help in the shape of
three assistants for her, and the pile was
soon disposed of. The man stood by until
the receipts were given him,
"The fact is," he explained, "I am secre-
tary of a fashionable club, and it's the most
difficult tnatter in the world to make them
pay up. I send hundreds of bills, and
when I speak to members about it it's
always the same story, 'I never got the
bill, old fel; certainly 111 pay up. Just
send me a bill and I'll see that you get it.'
There are 470 delinquents in the club, and
III be sure they all get their bills this
quart er. "

HAS been saved by the prompt use of
Ayer's Pills. Travelers by land or
Bea are liable to constipation or other
derangements of the stomach aryl how -la
which, if neglected, lead to serious awl
often fatal consequences., The most sure
means of correcting these evils is the use
of Ayer's Cathartic Pills. The pru-
dent sailing -master would as soon go to
sea without his chronometer as without
a supply of these Pills. Though prompt
and energetic in operation. Ayer's Pills
leave no ill effects ; they are purely
vegetable and sugar-coated; the safest
medicine for old and young, at home or
abroad..
"For•eight years I was afflicted with
constipation, which at last became so
bad that the doctors could do no more
for me. Then I began to take Ayer's
Pills, and soon the bowels recovered
their natural and regular action, so that
now I am in
Excellent
health."—Mrs. C. E. Clark, Tewksbury,
Massachusetta.
"I regard Ayer's Pills as one of the
most reliable general remedies of our
times. They have been in use in my
family for affections requiring a purga-
tive, and have given unvarying satisfac-
tion. We have found them an excellent
remedy for colds and light fevers."—
W. R. Woodson, Port Worth, Texas.
"For several years I have relied more
'upon Ayer's Pills than upon anything
else in the medicine chest, to regulate
my bowels and those of the ship's crew.
These Pills are not severe in their ac-
tion, but do their work thoroughly. I
have used them with good effect for
the cure of rheumatism, kidney trou-
bles, and dyspepsia." —Capt. Mueller,
Steamship Felicia, New York City.
"I have found Ayer's Cathartic Pills
to be a better family medicine for com-
mon use than any other pills within my
knowledge. They are not only very
effective, but safe and pleasant to take
—qualities whidh must make them
valued by the public." —Jules Hanel,

A LESSON IN MANNERS.
Uncle Theodore lEfas an Encounter With
Farmer Tumbledown.
At one of the farmers' institutes., Theo-
dore Louis, the veteran teacher of hogology,
had been relating to an interested audience
of farmers -how he bred, fed and marketed
his hogs, giving minute details of the work,
tending brood sows, cooking squashes,
cleaning out the_ pima, supplying bedding
and everything pertaining to the business.
As he came down from the platform a farm-
er with unkempt hair and beard, a slouched
hat, greasy frock and • overalls, the latter
tucked into a pair of dirty, coarse boots,
met him and said :
"Mr. Louis, do you pretend to say you
feed your own hogs ?"
"Oh, yea! When I am at home."
"And clean out the manure ?"
"Certainly," said Mr. Louis, with a
smile.
"Well," said Farmer Tumbledown, with
a sneer, "when a man with a stiff hat, a
black suit of clothes, a gold chain and
shiny shoes tells me he feeds hogs and cleans
out the pen, I don't believe him."
This rather nettled the good-natured
champion of improved "swine husbandry,"
and he said :
"My friend, did you learn anything new
ot me, to -day ?"
"Oh, yes," said Tumbledown, "all you
said about breeding and teeding was good,
but 1 don't believe a man who dresses like
you ever feeds hogs."
There was an interested group of listeners
gathered by this time, and, with a twinkle
in his eyes, Uncle Theodore said :
"Now, my friend, let me teach you some-
thing else. If you want men to respect
yon and your calling, you must show some
respect for it yourself. You ought to haire
enough ambition and self-respect so that
when yon go to town or to attend an in-
titute you would black your boots, put on
decent suit of clothes and clean yourself
up.l>
The crowd seemed to appreciate the situa-
tion, and Tumbledown had business some-
where else.
It is not the farming but it is farmers
like Tumbledown that cause some people to
speak lightly of farmers. There is nothing
ill the business of farming that needs to
make is boor of a man. The day is passed
when dirty hands, greasy clothes and muddy
boots are to be accepted as an index of oc-
cupation. —Colman's Rural World.
A Startling Statement.
At a New Hampshire institute the state-

while that in a ton of cheese was valued
at $20, created an unusual degree of

"My memory, madam," said Old Spudd,
looking fixedly at her over his glasses, "is

The professor had talked to the- class
an hour and a half on the question of the
tariff.
"There is one little point still unsettled
in my mind, professor," said one of the
pupils, a thoughtful young man whose in-
telligent face and close attention had great-
ly pleased the instructor. "It is this : Who
finally pays the tariff on imported goods—
the foreign manufacturer, the importer, or
the consumer ?"
The professor sat down profoundly die-
couraged. That was the precise point he
had been trying to explain.
