While It Is thought to be a mountain breed Us life is spent only in part on verdant pastures of the Cheviot hills, for it is bred mostly for crossing by the Leicester* in middle and southern English pastures for the Loudon markets. The cross-bred pro duce are excellent feeders and very popular among the butchers, the mut ton being of the first quality and hav ing the flesh marbled with fat, rather than covered with it, and is thus tender and juicy.

The fleece is rather coarse, but long and glossy, and is in demand for the best kinds of clothing.— Montreal Star. American Apples in Europe. The United States Consul at Chem nitz, Germany, advises Americans to ship their apples this year to Germany. If good fruit is chosen, such as will stand a long voyage—the Baldwin ap ple, for instance—he is confident that the business will prove to be a paying one. Complaint has been made in Ger many against American fruit because of the fear of the intro Auction of the San Jose scaie, which is one of the most destructive diseases known to fruit. Investigation has shown that the fear of the Germans has been exagger ated. It is not denied that the San Jose scale is found In some parts of tlie United States, but diseased fruit is not shipped abroad. Such a course would soon result In destroying the ex port business. German experts are now in the United States studying our fruit. So far as kuown they have not advised exclusion. Aat-ricans nave much to learn about packiug fruit, but they are gaiuing a strong hold in the foreign markets. For the five years preceding 1890 the annual average of shipments of fruit from this country to Germany amounted to over s4,ooo,ooo.—Balti more American. A Double Barn. The accompanying illustration shows a plan for a barn with double drive ways in which the distinguishing fea ture is the great amount of loft room. Four gabies added to the main roof space give almost another story’s ca pacity to the barn, making it possible to use nearly the whole of the lower floor for stock. With a silo and the root cellar that will be found in the basement it will be possible to carry a BARN WITH BIG I.OFT. large stock on the fodder that can be stored beneath the roofs. There are many conveniences about a double barn, and when one is to be built the form here given will prove an excellent one to follow.—New England Home stead. Fall-Rollind Winter Grain. While the roller is a good implement for lining and smoothing the surface soil, it cau very rarely be used effect ively after wifner grain is sown. Al most all farmers agree that if soil is heavy, it will produce better crops of winter grain if the soil is left rough after it is seeded. All the lumps are dissolved by winter freezing, and they furnish the fine, rich dust that is need ed to fall upon tlie roots as they have been lifted up by fvost. The only con ditions when lolling is helpful to winter grain are when the soil is light, and liable to blow away in winter. In such case the rolling should be done as soon as the grain is sown. It will pack tlie light soil around tlie roots, and thus cause the wheat to make enough growth so as to partially protect itself from winter killing, and will lessen tlie effects of winds in blowing away sur face soil. Onions as Food. Despite tleir disagreeable effects as breath perfumers, the common onion is much the most healthful vegetable grown, and all would be healthier If onions cooked in some way were a part of the daily diet. Drinking milk after the onion will to a great extent absorb the odor. Those farmers who grow and use many onions keepNlieir health bet ter than do those who are too dainty to wit this vegetable. In southern Europe raw onions are eaten as part of the daily meal, laying a slice of onion on the bread and then biting through both together The Spaniards have a very mi’.u onion Mot is quite commonly eaten thus. Curing a Kicking Horse. A kicker is a failure on the farm, if not cured of the habit. They not only injure themselves, but other animals, and sometimes their owner. They may be cured by a swinging iron bar or pipe across the stall door. Drive a staple about five or six feet from floor on each side of stall; tie rope iu each and swing bar at ends about a foot from floor, or high enough to strike horse about hocks. He can kick this to his heart’s content and not hurt himself, as it will swiug out of the way. In a week's time he will uot notice anything touch ing his heels. The llemand for Quinces. Thpre is a poor apple crop this year in most places, and as a result there is very little demand for quinces, Whose use as a fruit seeing more to give flavor to me apple sauce than to lie eaten by itseH- The quince is a very rich fruib and !■> aiso hard, even when thoroughly cooked. It is therefore difficult of di gestion. But a few pieces of quince cut thin and placed in apple pie will give it a delicious flavor, snch as no apple sauce could have without it. Plowing Frozen Ground. If f'nerj is a thin crust of frozen soil, or eveq a light fall of snow on the ground when it is fall plowed, it will be none the worse for the sod next spring. The frozen sail holds up the ] furrow better, even though wbeu, turned to the bottom it Is soon thawed by the earth’s internal heat. The re sult will be that frost will penetrate to the bottom of the furrow, giving the Soil a much finer tilth than would be possible by repeatedly cultivating it Choice Bacon. The secret of producing choice bacon, says the American Swineherd, lies in the feed trough. If auy one doubts this, let him put two Poland-China, Berkshire, Chester-White, Duroc, Jer sey or any of our recognized breeds of hog i ip two different pens, feed one all the corn lie can eat until fat. and the other boiled potatoes, milk, barley or wheat ground flue and some pea meal until fat (the old country way). Kill both, put In dry salt for six or seven weeks, then take out and wash, and hang it up In the kitchen or drylug house until thoroughly dried; then cut off a good, big chunk and boil it, let if stand till cold; then cut off a few slices, and you will see the corn fed meat Is not so firm, is more oily, and not so many streaks of lean as meat fed on barley, potatoes, milk, etc., and this is all the difference you or any one else can detect. Cats Around Barns. The habit which many people have of ting cats and keeping them close by the kitchen fire very soon destroys the hunting instinct and makes the cat good for nothing as a mouser. On the farm especially, the proper place for a ■ cat is at the barn, where it can make itself useful kiMir,g ;iie mice or rats that destroy the gra n. It Is a mistake to suppose that a cut will suffer from cold while tiers employed. Exercise will ke< p the blood circulating, and the cat will be quite as warm if kept dry as it would be dozing by the fire, and breathing the vitiated air that is al ways found near the floors of dwell ings. The cat will usually, if there is a chair or a bed in the room, make that her resting place. Private Market for Butter. A farmer who has all the facilities and who knows how to make the best butter ought always to sell it to private customers, who will also take his ft-esh eggs and other farm products at prices somewhat higher than he can get in the open market. But if he does this he must obligate himseif to supply wuat is needed throughout the year, aud that it shall never be below the standard. It is tills last condition that prevents farmers from making such bargains. To make the best butter in winter re quires care in feeding, and nflso in han dling milk and cream, which too many are unwilling to undertake. lluckney Filly GoldHnsli.

Green Tomato Salable. The tomato differs from most other vegetables in the fact that while early in the season only well-ripened fruit will sell, yet later, when frost has cut the vines, there is always a sharp de mand for green tomatoes for pickling uses. It is, therefore, no loss to have some late-ripening vines, which will not be ready for the early market. There are, besides, on all vines that have borne an early crop some toma toes that are green and can be sold for pickles. What money tlie farmer gets for these is so much clear gain, as in most cases the vines have more than paid for all the labor given them by profits from previous sales. Low Evergreen Branches Dying; Out. Where any of our native foreign ever greens are planted in yards or lawns, complaint is made that their branches die out after the trees acquire a height of ten to fifteen feet. This destroys their symmetry, and to some extent injures their effectiveness as wind breaks. All our evergreens, if left to grow ns they will in the forest, will make large trees. What tlie lawn maker complaints of as a defect is au advantage in the forest tret*. If the row of evergreens Is used as a wind break, plant younger evergreens in a row behind the first, aud thus keep off the cold winds from houses or other buildings. Home Made Sausuges. There is no kind of meat food so palatable as a well-made sausage. But the fact that when made It is almost impossible to tell what meat it is com posed of prevents many who only eat what they buy from using it. On the farm the well-made, wholesome sau sage should be asp >clalty. It is a com mon mistake to put in too much fat. Not more than a quarter of the whole should be fat. If some lean and fat of beef, hot to exceed one-quarter of the whole, is put iu the sausage it will im prove it. Much of the excellence of the sausage depends on the flavoring. Too much pepper aud spices are found in most sale sausages. Variety of Feed for Stock. In feeding stock of any kind it is im portant that it be furnished a variety of food. This is not merely a matter of flavor, for different kinds of food fur nish usually different nutrition. A great deal of the success of t ■ imals pastured lies in the fact that they are able to select their own rations, and the care they will take to do this indicates that this is a matter of greater import ance than it is usually considered. Clover Smothered by- Manure. Clover is more easily killed by smoth ering than are any of the grasses. It is never good policy to topdress clover with coarse manure, as wherever a clod of manure falls on a clover plant, the latter will Uieiy be killed if it can not grow to one side of the clod. But if clover-seed is sown on top-dressed land !t will get the full benefit from the mi mire without injury of any kind. Toughest Pudding on Record. Some weeks ago, writes a volunteer, I spent a week with a garrison battery ia a southern coast fort. On the last day the sergeants sat down to an ex ceptionally line dinner, the crowning glory of which was to have been a large plum pudding. 1 had made the pudding two days before, had it boiled, and now, reheated, it made its appearance amid the welcome shouts of my broth er warriors; and I naturally felt a bit proud of it, for I hadn't been a shop's cook for nothing. “Seems mighty hard,” remarked the sergeant major, as lie vainly tried to stiek hi" fork into it. “Have you ladl ed us a cannon ball, Rrowne.v?” “Or the regimental foot ball?” asked another. “Where did you get the flour from?” questioned Sergt. Smith. “Where from?” I retorted. “From store X'o. 5, of course.” “The deuce you did!” roared the quar termaster sergeant. “Then, hang you, you've made the pudding with Portland cement!” And so it proved. That pudding Is now preserved In the battery museum. If a man lacks enthusiasm it takes him twice as loug to acomplisb a task. LIKE THE FATHERLAND Wisconsin Community Which Holds to Old Traditions. IT LIES NORTHWEST OF MADISON. Historic Region Where Blink Hawk Met Defeat and Where >len Who .Met the Great Genera) Napoli . s I.ie Burled Curious Picture of old German life In congruously Projected on the Back ground of American Civilization. Madison, A\ is., Nov. 22.—From Madi son northwestward toward Sauk county and including a large portion of that county, stretches a great German set tlement some sixty miles in length and twenty nr more milts in width, and forming one of the most interesting communities that the curiout tourist can visit who is not too ambitious. Its charm lies in the fact that here are preserved many of the manners and customs of the fatherland from a gener ation or more back, thus giving a val uable infight into the every-day life of the sturdy Teuton. The region lias an historic interest as well, for on the banks of the Wisconsin, near Mazo nitinie, Black Hawk, the celebrated In dian chieftain suffered one ot his de feats and in some of ,ne idyllic rural cemeteries lie nett who fought the great Napoleon on many a rod running field and others who participated in the frightful retreat from Moscow and ciossed the awful Beresina over the bridge formed of 30.000 French bodies. One of the earliest settlers, too. of this section was Count Haraszthy, a Hun garian nobleman with a price upon his head, and whose life was a medley of romantic adventures. Amid the Sab ba.h calm of these little burial nooks one would little guess that they con talned heroes who had breasted the storms of sleet and iron at Borod no and Jena, and in later life took up the work of conquering a wilderness. It was in 1840 that Count Haraszthy built the firs* house in the town of r.oxbury. It was erected on a bluff overlooking the_ Wisconsin river and was intended tather for a hunting lodge. He also procured a charter for a ferry on the Wisconsin river which he operated for a time, and here he lived a life for a number of years when he disappeared. Five years later Father Adelbest Jm ma, a German Catholic priest, located • here and soon had a colony of his countrymen about him, which has grown into the present large and flour ishing community. Most of the names of the region were given by Vmeriean pioneers, who have, however, K ten prac tically crowded out long since by the more tenacious Germans. Odd Traditions Preserved. There are many foreign settlements m Wisconsin. French, Norwegian, Swiss and Polish, but in none are the customs, styles and traditions of the lands beyond the sea so well preserved, perhaps, as by these sturdy conserva tive people from the fatherland. The more facile French and Scandinavians lose their identity as such almost in the second generation, while the free-born Swiss seize upon American architecture, habits and modes of industry with as tonishing rapidity. But in this com munity is presented a curious picture of old German life incongruously pro jected on the background of American civilization. One of the most marked characteris tics is in the architecture. It Is al most distinctly the German of fifty years ago. Nearly every building is of stone, and broad and massive art the foundations laid as had the builders intuitively sought to forestall as far as possible their disintegration at the hands of American civilization. The eaves scarcely project over the walls and the porches are quaintly carved. The lawn or dooryard is practically un known. The place is almost invariably taken by a flourishing garden of vege tables, strangely contrasting wi h which are brilliant flowers that line both sides of the narrow walk from the road to the very door. Inside the house also are uniquely carved chests, cup boards and cradles, on the walls are pictures from German life or history, with the ever present symbols of the Romish faith, while under the curtains draping the lower par* of the beds oc casionally peep fort’n the wooden shoes of the days gone by. At meal times the tables steam with huge dishes of boiled vege;ables, cabbage always ap pearing in some orm, but sweetmeats and delicacies to work injury to the stomach are few. Many other characteristics of this civilization are apparent to the most careless observer. The inhabitants are all Roman Catholics, so that hand in hand with the common school goes the parochial school conducted in German. German is still the language of the community, and in fact many of the children even can scarcely speak any thing else and this within only an hour’s ride by wagon of Madison, the seat of culture of the state. The news papers are printed in German and tlie Sunday picnics and balls, advertised in every tavern and saloon, are printed almost wholly in German. Churc-h Hint Saloon. The saloon is everywhere. It is the most marked institution of the neigh borhood and an interesting study it is The social vortex revolves about it making it the central distributing point of the neighborhood gossip and the place where are formulated alike the politician's and the churchman’s new est plans. Usually it precedes the church, but if the latter does not come to it. Mahomet-like, it goes to the church, frequently taking its place just across the way, and it is no uncommon sight to witness worshippers dropping into it both before and after service. Almost invariably it is a rambling, labyrinthine structure, frequently a combination grocery store, hotel, liv ing house, bowling alley and dance hall. If you wish an hour’s rest at the hotel you must take it in the barroom, there you must write your letters, and to roach the dining room you r<ust pass through it. It is a popular loaling place. Pool tables give loungers a ready seat. Its walls are a study in the curious, and unlike those of char acteristic American sa'oons. They pos sess at least one virtue in suggesting mind and appealing to the aesthetic, the heroic and the holy things of life. They betray a healthy element still surviving. Quaint carvings, pictures ff the castled Rhine, glimpses of vine yards and rural calm, laid on the walla by hands of a poetic touch supply the brutal features of the common Ameri can grog shop. One of the most beau tiful and suggestive of its ace s eories is the dove cage. It is frequently found in the barroom or under the shady, back porch surround ed by ivy or morning glory vines. One 's struck by the incongruity if its pres ence in such a place. The morallzer is moved at the contrast of rum working its ruin and depravity on one hand ind the whiteness of the dainty pris oners, their billings and coolngs, all symbolizing the omnipresence and eter nal solicitude of the spirit of love. In the absence of the saloonkeeper it l'> no uncommon occurrence to find bis wife or daughter behind the bar Toni ng out liquor and bandying c rude Jokes and witticisms with the happy, honest, ;uffawing crowd. It must, however, be said in justice to these whole-souled people that while they dearly love their 'ager, drunkenness is practically an un known vice among them and tavern brawls ere of the rarest. Sport for Marksmen. The bird shoot is a unique custom brought over from the fatherland, and still kept up in this interesting com munity. I', is usually held on a Sun day afternoon and often in connection with the kirmias or church festival. It is a great event to the local country side and attracts all the crack shots for miles around whose blunderbusses have become famous in that vicinity. And narksrr.cn they are, at some of whom even William Tell might not ir.eer. A great, grotesque bird, carved from a tough oak stump is bolted to in iron rod fastened to a pole fifty or tiore feet high. The marksmen make up a pot. charging A quarter for each shot. To cut away a wing counts for 12, the head and tail 15 each, jt some such portion, and to bring down the body is to take the pot. Occasionally some Irreverent crowd from the city will swoop down upon the scene with a sharpshooter or two and carry oft the pftze, Though not' wiflf6u#a great struggle on the part of the rustic Crocketts The competition for the head and wings is keen from the start; Owing to the toughness of the bird the body must be fairly riddled before it is brought down, and ft generally requires 100 bullets. The victor is greeted with tumultuous applause and rushed about the premises on the shoulders of his admirers. Beer usually flows like water both before and after the shooting, but the best of good nature prevails while the boisterous song and jest goes round. A hearty supper crowns the festivities of the day. but at night from the low roofed hail above the saloon steal the strains of a motley orchestra of rus tic Orpheuses and in the gloaming, on every road, afoot, in huggies, or milk wagons come the swains and lasses of the neighborhood for an all-night dance. But there are other fistivals to make glad the idyllic life of th se whole hearted. social people. When a farm er's daughter is married the whole neighborhood is invited. The house is thrown open with the greatest hospital ity and drinking and feasting follows all day and the next night, the festivi ties culminating in r grand dance, fre quently upon some improvised bowery screened over w ith great boug is and binder canvases. ISuxmn V tiling Women. The young people are a healthy and happy-hearted set in this se; regated community. Women, according to the fatherland customs, spend much time in outdoor work and their buxom forms and rosy cheeks point a moral that city-bred ladies might well heed. Young women are frequently seen lash ing teams afield from the barns in hay time, jocund and happy, singing in their enjoyment of buoyant young life. To them the ignus fatuus of social prestige is not ever luring on from dis appointment to disappointment to leave them prematurely hollow cheeked and faded and crabbed. A semi-annual vis it to Madison is an event by which to reckon, but their thoughts and ambi tions seldom revolve beyond the hori zon of their native hills or the routine simplicities of their humble, every-day life. It cannot he denied that this foreign civilization is gradually yielding to the Inevitable. It is even now in its pict uresque decline, and hence is so inter esting. But not the coming generation nor even the next will fail to be large ly governed by it. And its influence can scarcely but he for good. The in dustrious, liberty-loving German makes the most substantial and patriotic American, as Wisconsin citizenship at tests. The si,.all German rate in our pool-houses, prisons and asylums speaks volumes for that nationality. But the change must come, however the old pioneers may cling to treasured hab its and customs. The hurrying distrac tions of the American system have in vaded the peaceful villages and will metamorphos ■ the sturdy, rosy-cheeked hoy anil girl toward the ultimate com posite type.
