A Million WomenhaveUcc!! Benefited Dy Mrs. Piskfam'sAftrteeatflMcffldae should like to have its FARM AND GARDEN* A Uuuch of Bhecp da tlie V'ariu," Very many farms, and farmers, too, would be beuetited by a flock of sheep, says George McKerrow of Sussex, Wis., in writing to Fariu, Field and Fireside, I believe 1 may be permitted to claim that I say this from experience, having kept a flock without intermission for thirty years or more. I Invested my "first savings, while a boy iu mv teens, iu sheen, and have never regretted it. Why will the farm be benefited? Sheep will clean it up but you will say, cau good sheep be reared on weeds and brush aloneV To which 1 must answer, no but good sheep cau be grown on clovers, grasses, corn, oats, corn stover, alfalfa, rape, cabbage aud roots, and this rota tion of crops will make clean land and produce good mutton and wool and you will find that sheep being well fed on such rations as the above-mentioned will also surprise you by the amount of weeds and tender browse they will take as des sert. A small or moderate-sized flock will glean good living most of the year from foods that would, on many farms, go to waste without them. I recently met a Ciermau farmer in northern Wis consin who told of his little flock of ten ewes that had brought in a $U0 income in 1895, when sheep products were low. When 1 asked him what it cost to keep them that year, he replied: "Dat cost nothing." When pressed for an expla nation, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "Dey run in der brush in der sum mer, uud dey run in der brush in der vinter. Come to der haystack, eat a lit tle hay, dats all." This was practically true they only cost him what hay they ate iu the winter. "The hoof of the sheep is golden," is an old Spanish adage nevertheless a true one. Every sheep pasture becomes rich er. No class of stock improves the soil as does the sheep. If you will go with me to the districts where sheep husband ry has been intelligently followed, in con junction with other lines of farming^ we will find better farms than in localities where natural advantages are the same and no sheep are kept. Iu proof of this I beg to refer the reader to many dis tricts in Ontario, Vermoutj Pennsylva nia, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, and to scores of farmers iu these districts who have often told me they would not farm without sheep. How cau sheep benefit the farmers? First, by increasing their revenue. Dur ing the past thirty years I have kept pretty close account of our flocks and in the worst seasons have found the bal ance on the right side and iu the good seasons it has been well up on the right side. With sheep aud clover, grasses, corn and roots to feed them I have been enabled to buy worn-out grain lauds, pay for them and bring them up in con dition and value, and I am not alone in this. I know of others who have done the same aud we are no luckier or brighter than other farmers. Sheep are easier cared for than any other class of stock. The farmer with out experience can begin with a small flock and as his flock grows his experi ence will also grow until he will soon have some knowledge of animal life that will aid him in handling other lines of stock. You must remember the large flock requires proportionate skill to han dle it well. The mutton for the farmer's own ta ble is one of the most important and profitable items. It saves butcher's bills, gives health and strength as no other meat diet can. I know of several farmers who use from five to twenty five sheep or lambs annually on their tahles, according to the siae of their families, and all are loud in its praise as a healthful and economical meat food. The question of cheap fencing is one constantly brought up. In these days of cheap woven fences this is pretty well settled. Many of these make quite good movable sheep fences, as we find from their use. I will not say every farmer should keep sheep, but am safe in saying there should be at least four flocks where one is now kept. The increase in most cases should come by more flocks rather than larger flocks. Low, wet farms are not suited to sheep. Small farms that are paying well as dairy farms will, in most cases, be as well without them. The farmer who does not like sheep should not keep them, but most others should. If you- decide to start into the sheep bueincea (or any otk'i* lino) you must make up your mind that it will have both'ups and downs, and if you are to get profit from it you must stick to it, up hill and down hill, and you will thus be on top of the wave part of the time. Too many of our farmers are of the class who sell out when ft thing is low and buy what is high to have it to sell when it gets low, thus always starting some new line high to sell when it gets low. Studj* your conditions and environ ments and decide for yourself, but you may take it for granted that nine times out of ten a small flock of sheep pays on every farm. Feeding Smntty Corn. Whenever yon come to a smutty ear of corn put it in the fire. This should have been done at husking time, but some smut may have been overlooked then and developed since. If all farmers would stamp out the corn smut wher ever found the disease could soon be eradicated. Feeding it to either cows or hogs as is often done is the readiest way to send it to the manure pile, where it will propagate very rapidly. Besides, it is a serious danger to the animals to which it is fed, especially if they are bearing young—American Cultivator. Bean Straw for Feeding Cows. While sheep take naturally to bean straw and to the grain itself, there are many who' grow bedns who do not keep sheep. With a little care in giving only small amounts at first, and when the cow is hungry, she will eat bean straw and soon come to like it for a change, as well as the hay or corn stalks which are her regular diet. Bean straw is very nutritious, and as it causes wind on the stomach, it should be given with caution to breeding stock, either ewes or cows, lest it' should cause abortion. The refuse beans that are often thrown away may properly be ground and mixed with cornmeal as fed for hogs. They are very nutritions, more so than corn. Cows Not to be Fe1 Alike. All cows should not be fed alike. Each should be fed according to her individu ality. The amount should be propor tioned to the amount of milk she can be made to produce. If she is inclined to "all go to milk" and run down in nesh, she should be fed more carbonace ous food to keep her flesh and strength. Another cow that is inclined to put on flesh should be fed more protein food. Three things the feeder must watch watch to see that the cow eats up all her food clean with a good appetite watch the excrement to see that she di gests it, and watch the milk pail and the cow's back to see what she does with it. A cow should have as great a variety of food each day as it is practical to give her. She craves a variety and will eat in ore and digest her food better when she has it. She needs a variety as much as human beings. She should also be fed with perfect regularity as to time as well as amount of food. She should never be allowed to fret and worry be cause her food is late in coming to her. Plowing Oronnd While Frozen. It is sometimes possible to do a little plowing when there is a thin stratum of frozen oa-*h near the surface. If the plow can eater the soil, its lifting motion will break th|ft thin crust of frozen earth, /le cou't )r °r cutter will divide it so be turned about as easily as if it hod not frozen at all. This.work is best done in the fall, just before freezing up, in which case there will be two stratasof frozen earth, each separated by »."• l'1 such case, there is an admirable tilth produced down to the bottom of the furrow. But unless such land has a good supply-' of .' underdrains to carry away water beneath the surface, the farmer will find little advantage from plowing frozen ground, or, in fact, from any kind of fall plowing. Whenever a furrow is frozen throughout the winter, •t becomes so expanded that spring rains will soon turn it into a riutd heap, unless the water cau get away beneath the sur face. Tlie Cause of Mottled Butter. The prime cause of ipottles is the use of too cold water in washing the butter the manner in which it is introduced into the chum. By using too cold Water the outside of the butter granules be comes cruftted or hardened like .the shell o| an ecit' whljejthe inside is soft. Now. When tbijrmawrfa worked together these little shells itea»ln ia tHe wnneeobdittoB, and no amount of working or tempering salt, or even distribution of salt when added, will change the conditions They do not work up,: consequently do not take salt, hence the flue, threadlike streaks in the butter .The manner in which the water is introduced into the churn is re sponsible for the large mottles or seem ing lumps of white butter throughout the iaas*. In the majority of cream eries throughout the country the water "directly in or a pi the water strikes the butter these gran is pumped through a rectly into the churn, either hose or a pipe. Now, when ules become hard and solid as in the first case, only that these hard granules are not broken dowu at all, and the large mottles are the result. The wash water should be tempered to within two or three degrees of the churn temperature. —•New York Produce Review. THE BOY AND HIS TRADE. He Bhonld Begin Hit Apprenticeship ao aa to be Through When 21. "Seventeen is the preferable age for going to a trade, but in many cases 16 is not too young, nor 18 too old," writes Barton Cheyuey in the Ladies' Home Journal. "But, all conditions being fa vorable, it is well for a boy to arrange his apprenticeship so that he can finish his trade by the time he is 21. One of the advantages of going to a trade early is that it allows the lad time to make a change should he discover that he has made a mistake in choosing his vocation, and there is no infallible method or rule that can be followed in order that such mistakes can be avoided. But the best course to pursue is for the lad to fully acquaint himself with the details of the trades to which he may incline before he makes a selection. This can be easily done at the expense only of a little ob servation and iuquiry. Then the matter of natural aptitude cau be considered— and it is a most important factor—so that the lad can avoid going iuto anything for which he has no special fitness. It is as serted that everyone is adapted for some one thing better than anything else, and the boy should strive to discover what that one thing is. It would be a great mistake for a lad without a natural bent for mechanics to attempt to learn the machinist's trade, and the chances would be against such a boy's proper advance ment, for one's best work and develop ment are the outcome of being congenial ly employed." Senator Hoar's Vindication of James 6. Blaine. I was myself a member of the judi ciary committee of the House, to whom the investigation was committed. The witnesses were examined by a subcom mittee. But they were almost daily compelled to report the questions which arose for decision to the full committee, and the evidence taken by them was at once printed. I was present at the examination of most of the witnesses, so I was very familiar with the case as it went on. I expected to be charged with the duty of preparing a minority report in case, as was almost certain to happen, the committee found the charges sustaiued. I had no reason, so far as I then knew, or now know, to be preju diced or biased in the matter. Mr. Blaine had treated me with courtesy during my service in the House, as he did every body. He had, as speaker, never as signed to me any place on committees which was specially agreeable to me, and had put persons, whom I thought less entitled to such distinction, into the chairmanships of the committees of which I was a member. But he was un doubtedly embarrassed In this matter by the large number of representatives from Massachusetts who had been long in the service. go I had no just cause either for gratitude or for complaint. But I had expected, if he were nominated, al though these charges had been made public, to give him my jealous and ear nest support as a candidate for the presi dency. I had, as I have said, occasion to pos sess myself thoroughly of the evidence against Mr. Blaine whetl it was produced I reviewed it carefully during the cam PajKn which preceded the election of 1884. I have reconsidered it again more lately. I did not think at the time, and have never thought since, that Mr Blaine was guilty either of actual cor ruption or of a willingness to be cor rupted. I do not think he ever sold his official influence, or ever received or de sired to receive any compensation for any exercise of his official power. I think the spirit and manner hi which the charges against him were pressed and argued before the people scarcely, if at all, less disgraceful than Would have been Mr. Blaine's own conduct if the charges had been true.—From "Four National Conventions," by Senator George F. Hoar in Scribner's. W. C. Brownell's Opinion of Thack eray's "Newcomes." As for "The Newcomes," it is an epit ome of human life in its manifold va riety of social and individual phases un matched, I think, in fiction. Its range is extraordinary for the thread of a singie story to follow. Yet all its parts are as interdependent as they are numerous and varied. It is Thackeray's largest canvas, and it is filled with the greatest ease and to the borders. It stands in contestably at the head Of the novels of manners. And it illustrates manners with an unexampled crowd of charac ters, the handling of which, without rep etition or confusion, without digression or discord, exhibits the control of the artist equally with the imaginative and creative faculty of the poet—the "maker." The framework of "The Newcomes" would include three or four of Balzac's most elaborate books* which, compared with it, iiideed, seem like studies aud episodes, lacking the large body and ample cyrreiit Of Thackeray's epic. And its epic_ scale is preserved, not in mechanically assembled examples of different kinds of mere existence, high and low, savage and civilized, but in a picture of life itself flowing variously in varied characters and circles and com munities, closely connected by the cou sinly bond of the humanity they possess in common. Taken as a whole, it is true, Thack eray's human comedy is less comprehen sive than Balzac's, with which alone it is to be compared in the world of prose fiction. Taken as a whole, it lacks that appearance of vastness and variety which Balzac's has, aud perhaps the ap pearance in such a matter answers as well as the reality. Considered, that is to say, purely as a world of the imagina tion, Thaekeray's is the more circum scribed. But it is born of less travail it is constructed with the effortless ease of greater spontaneity, its preliminary simplification has been carried farther nttil 1# 1ACI« AAIUHII NXIN less speculative and suggestive, it is far more real. Its philosophy is more hu man, more winning, more attaching, and in a very deep sense more profound. From "William Makepeace Thackeray," by W. C. Brownell in Scribner's. Gutta-Percha and Cables. In connection with the Pacific cable a very interesting question arises. From where is the gutta-percha for this gigan tic cable to come? Every whisper of the construction of a transpacific line sends the gutta market at Singapore up by leaps aud bounds. The ruling price of the gum is the highest that has ever obtained. "It it stated, oh what authority it is hard to say, that the visible supply of gutta is sufficient for the task, and that if this cable is laid it will be the last—the last with a gutta-percha insula tion, at least. While this pessimism on the part of the gutta producers savors somewhat of a desire to stiffen the mark et, there is yet a sufficiently-reasonable foundation for it in the wanton destruc tion of the gutta forests. It will be in teresting to see the outcome of the situa' tion. If the United States acquires an island in the Carolines the building* of the cable line seems possible, though expen sive. If they do not find a landing place the operation .of the cable seems to re quire a prohibitively costly plant. And meanwhile there is a question of the dis appearing gutta tree.—The Engineering Magazine. The Gratitude of Republics. On Friday last Congress voted an in crease of pension to Eleazer Smith 'of Danbury, N. H., who then lacked but two weeks of being 101 years of age. This patriotic act proves once more that republics are liot, as alleged, ungrateful. The veteran Eleazer shouldered a mus ket itt defense of his country in 1812. What the amount of his pension was originally, or when granted, we know not, neither do we care. The important point is that Congress has now rushed nobly to the rescue of a deserving pat riot, and has pot permitted more than eighty-five yfcarfc to pass without due rec ognition of his services in the field.

Herman Dummer is defendant in a di vorce suit instituted by his wife Wilhel mine and in July last was ordered to de sist from attempting to dispose of his property. Notwithstanding this Dummer executed an instrument purportiug to transfer the property. He was sent to jail and has been a charge upon the coun ty since that time, ltip Keukema is Duiuiner's attorney, and it was against his counsel that Dummpr acted as he did. Yesterday Mr. Keukema went to the jail to consult his client, when he was in formed that another attorney had called to see him, who, it is alleged, promised Dummer freedom upon the payment of $10 and the transfer of the deed to him self. Dummer said he was well satis fied with Mr. Reukema, but he thought $10 would be a cheap way of getting out of jail, so he managed to secure $30 from a relative, gave it to the lawyer and then turned the deed over to him. That was more than two weeks ago and Dummer says he has neither seen nor heard from the attorney since. When Dummer was brought before Judge Lud wig the court decided he had been in jail long enough and informed him that he would be discharged when the deed was given to the sheriff, who is to turn it over to the attorney for Mrs. Dum mer. This Dummer agreed to, and he promised to send for the attorney and de mand the return of the deed. The Dum mers were married in Milwaukee in 1894. Mrs. Dummer charges cruelty in her complaint. Owing to Dummer's confine ment the case has never been tried, but Judge Ludwig today permitted the at torneys to notice it upon the term calen dar. "Better Be Wise Than Rich."

IN G^Y CALI with the medi* cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellcnce of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate.

Miss Elizabeth Kilsyth Livingston has embraced the Catholic faith. Miss Liv »Yn8 hito the church by "other Healy of St. Lawrence's churcn alia received first communion at the cdn v«jt of the Sacred Heart. Miss Livings ton is a lineal descendant of P. Van Brugh Livingston, whose wife was Mary Alexander, a sister of the Karl of gter ling. Peter Van Brugh Livfiigton was the son of Philip, second lord of the alanor of Livingston, who was president °L the first Provincial Congress in this city. An elder brother of P. Van Brugh Livingston was one of the signers of the declaration of independence, and another briber was governor of New Jersey. Miss Livingston ia a beautiful and ac- co"»Ihshed young woman, aud her debut, which was made a few years ago at the home of her cousin, Mrs. John Lyon Gar diner, was a brilliant one. She was a Baptist, but later joined the Kpiscopnl church. Mr. and Mrs. Van Brugh Liv ingston, her guardians, are devout at tendants at the cathedral, and Miss Liv ingston's change of faith is therefore natural. The most original of Friday evening's entertainments was that given by How ard Constable and Miss Constable. The affair was referred to as a "studio even ing,' but was really an elaborate costume dance. Impersonations of the "echoes of the late war" caused much amusement. Rev. Madison Bloomingdale Peters, who finds time when he is not reporting French balls to preach in a west side Reformed church, is 011 the rampage again. He is now warring against the size of the "growler," which is the tene ment dweller's substitute for the wine cellar of the Fifth avenue millionaire. He says the worst wrong connected with the saloon against which the poor have to contend, is the excessive measure of the beer. A "pint" of beer for 10 cents means from three to six pints. The popular impression that the Itialto 1 ~that section of Broadway between Thirty-second and Forty-second streets— is the center of life and gaiety of New York, is rapidly being revised. Fame is becoming notoriety. The stranger finds that the so-called Rialto, which he had imagined the haunt of fashion and the promenade of respectable pleasure-seek ers, has degenerated into a lounging place for sleek, well-dressed, disreputa ble loafers. These leisurely persons work for their living in the peculiar fash ion known as "by their wits," and it is out of the question, when taking an aft ernoon stroll, for the visitor to evade them. They have thousands of plausi ble stories and schemes for raising the wind, to which many passengers can testify, and their apparent carelessness hides schemes for money-getting that are as unscrupulous as they are keen. But in the face of all this these gentry dwell in absolute security and are never mo lested by the police. The shirtwaist girl will be in her ele ment more than ever next summer. Al ready the up-to-date store windows are bristling with attractive varieties of the comfortable and catchy garment, and all the genuine vitality of the shoppers these days are centered about the shirtwaist counters. White, in cambric and lawn, seems to have the preference over the colored gingham variety. Wide-spotted ribbons, lengths of soft silk and white lawn are all materials for the new ties, and uothiug will be considered more tit ting with a pink-striped shirtwaist than a tie made of white or cream point d'es prit, knotted in a very liberal front bow. An uptown photographer discovered a "Klondike" and is working it for all its worth. He has hit upon a plan to please his patrons, and, incidentally, to till his coffers with rich pay gold, or its equiva lent. In his studio he lias a stuffed horse, posed in the gallop attitude. The animal is affixed to a platform, the sur face of which is well concreted. A Cen tral park scene is in the background. Young and old women, but particularly the former, who are anxious to give their distant friends the impression that they are well up in equestrianism, come to the studio in battalions and have themselves photographed in the act of taking their morning or afternoon canter through the, park. The artist has all sizes of habits on hand to accommodate his patrons. "Cholly Knickerbocker" criticises Olga Nethersole for not wearing hoopskirts iu her costume production of "Catnille." He says: "The reason for this hoopskirt abstiuence on the part of Miss Nether sole is, I aui told, the impossibility of fainting gracefully in it. How the ladies in 1840 managed to swoon in their crino lines nobody seems to remember. They must have done it, for fainting was even more popular then than it is now." Mrs. William C. Whitney will be brought to her new home at Fifth ave nue and Sixty-ninth street iu a few days. She is much improved—so much so that her physicians think she may safely be moved from the Whitney country home. A $100 shirt that is well worth the money to the man who wears it, is the latest acquisition of certain New York professional gamblers. The shirt is for "hold-out" purposes and is called the "hold-up" shirt. It has a false sleeve and cuff and a metal clamp, which catches a card a 11(1 causes it to vanish in between the two cuffs attached to a cord which runs up the sleeve across the body and down one of the wearer's legs. It is easily operated, and tender feet who are fond of "draw" should fight shy of this modern invention in the big games that flourish in some of the best New York hotels. Mr. Carnegie says the report that he is to build a million-dollar dwelling for himself in this city is nonsense. It will not cost a quarter of that sum, and will be a plain, roomy brick house. His fam ily needs more room and more sunshine, especially the latter, according to the doctor, and that is what they are after. The garden is the sunshine spot Mr. Carnegie intends to make a feature of his premises, because, having speut so much time out of doors, he and his wife, they wilt when cooped up too much. Thomas Nevius, a rich contractor of East Orange, once heard a fortune teller say that if sisters marry 011 the same day one will end her life in the poor house and the other will be rich. His two daughters had arranged to be wed ded on Wednesday, but he suddenly re membered the superstition, and one cere mony was postponed. Lilian Esther Nevins became the bride of John Fred erick Nestor of Detroit at St. John's Catholic church, East Orange, yesterday. Today her sister, Catherine Deering Nevins, became the wife of Nicholas Doyle of Wexford, Ireland, in the same church. Patriotism broke loose at the meeting of Sorosis in the Waldorf-Astoria. The subject was "American Traits as Re vealed in Current Events," nnd our new work in the Philippines gave plenty of in spiration to the speakers. Mrs. Philip Carpenter, who was down on the pro gramme for an address on "American Enterprise," had said only a few words bearing indirectly on this subject. When she broke loose with: "A half day's work, and Dewey gives America an Oriental empire—I had almost said an Oriental baby, for I never knew of any baby kick ing harder at coming into a new world when the passage of the treaty was an nounced." Sorosis promptly forgot to be dignified, and nobody cared if she did ruin her pretty gloves. Staten Islanders on their way to New York were amused the other morning to find cash registers attached to the vari ous boxes used by the bootblacks 011 the ferryboats. The man having the eon tract or privilege for bootblacking on the ferryboats had suspected that his em ployes were getting the best of him. In consequence of this he had adopted the cash register plan. Beneath a piece of glass on each of the boxes was a sign which read as follows: THE BOY MUST KING THR BELL AFTER EACH SHINE. SHINE. 5 CENTS. The bell referred: to'' was attached to the corner of the box, and each time the blootblack collected 5 cents he operated the bell. Until recaitly the bootblacks were in the habit 01 charging 10 cents for a shine, one-half of which went to the boss and the other half to the boot black. Now the customers pay only 5 'cents, and the bftothfock must dron this iato a slot an* rto|? uj.. -The Syracuse Academy of Medicine has declared jthat it shall be mlcde meafeor for arfy felio^ of the academy to coatract to tre«t {be members of a to^ ciety Oon'tUftve to Wftit.
