Keep Them and Improve Them VaJua- ble Facts About Fertillaera Granular Batter Soft-Shelled Kggs l'srm Notes and Home Hint. - Thoughts oa tha Merino. At the annual meeting: of the New York state merino sheep breeders' association, the president, S. B. lusk, made, among otnurs, the fol lswing" remarks: I have little apprehension that the American Merino will be aban doned by those who have heretofore stayed by them in times of depres sion, and know their value a sheep that has constantly improved with us in our climate, and with our manage ment from Its first introduction, now well nigh one hundred years.. And they will also find new friends. The com ing generation will want a sheep that does not require foreign importations to keep up. to say nothing of making an improvement If the inhabitants of the United States ever become consumers of mutton to anything like the extent that it is consumed in England, I believe a lutton sheep will be evolved from the American Merino that will be adapted to the wants of the country; and as it is already acclimated will be susceptible of any needed improvement And that all of , the so-called mutton breeds have so far failed to do. But that which concerns us most is what to do with the American Merino as we find them to-day? What in my judgment we should do is to keep them and improve them, and in looking about us for chances for improvement, it w.ll be well to first look and see that wo have mude no mistakes. Some breeders years ago raised the question as to the good or bad effect of our public shearings as they have been managed. The announcement goes out that a certain sheep sheared, a given number of pounds of wool, and the carcass weighed so much. And that is about all there is of it. unless one is there to see for himself. I was present at a shearing, where a ram so inferior that no good breeder would think of using him, sheared (not of wool but of stutl that grew on him with a little wool to hold it to gether.) more pounds than any other ram shorn at tuat annual shearing. And , this worthless ram was proclaimed the heaviest shearer at the New York state American Merino sheep shearing, and he was not worth a two dollar note. This, of course, was an extreme case; but in looking forim provement in the future, it may be well to see if some of us have-not grown more neece than tne ;;ncep can well carry, although perhaps of good quality and only about the nee essary amount of oil to lubricate suchafli ece. A ram weighing 150 pounds, fleece off, and shearing 30 pounds, carries before being shora one pound of fleece to five pounds f carcass. Is not that about all he can well carry and be used for breeding purposes, and keep up his constitu tion? 1 have known rams to shear forty pounds, and weigh little more than 100 pounds with fleece off about one pound of fleece to two pounds of carcass. But I havo nuver known such a sheep to live io be an old sheep. 1'erhaps, under existing circumstances, it may be well to improve the carcass, in crease the size, and not pay quit3 so much attention to piling on the wool, I think no one will disagree with me in the importance of looking after the quality. One word more and I am done Not even tho American Merino can improve if neglected. If compelled to fall back upon their constitution to sustain themselves, they will sure ly deteriorate. Our lamented friend and' associate, the Hon. E. Townsend. once bought some of our favorite sheep, and got a well written pod I gree'from a successful breeder. At the bottom, written in a bold hand, were these, words: "Care is the secret of success." He at the time was scarcely out of his teens; but le often said that it was the most valuable pedigree he ever received. If the business is dull don't neglect the flock. Care for It well, breed it in aocord with your best judgment. and the American Merino, the best sheep in the known world, will in the future, as In tho past respond to any reasonable draft the brooder may make upon tho flock. rVrtllUere. Tho re are certain facts concerning the three valuable ingredients of plant food nltrogon.phosphorlo acid and potash which, should be under stood by all farmers who expect to succeed with fortlll.ors: Nitrogen is the most cotly ela nient of tilant food and lo"e from furtlllors are often duo to trxtrava gant and Injudicious uo of nitrogen.

Phosphoric acid and potash are best applied some weeks before planting a crop and should be plowed under. There is little danger of leaching from these mineral fertil izers. Kalnit is the proper form of potash for sandy soils, as it makes them more compact; for stiff soils muriate and sulphate of potash are best Potash u especially valuable for fruits, tobacco, potatoes and vegeta bles of al. kinds. Sandy and lime stone soils nearly always need potash. Clay s.iiU sometimes contain sufficient potash and again thjy do not; this should be ascertained by experiments. Colman's Rural World. Granular Butter. - How many boys and girls on tho farm have had an old apron tied around their waists and been told to churn until tho butter will hold up the dusherP" Such instructions are fatal to good butter. In the first place, says Hoinostead, tho dah churn is ten years bohln 3 tho times and ought to be thrown out of every farm house, even If no more butter is made than to supply the family tablo. The box or barrel churn is cheap and it is so much more con venient and so much better butter can bo made with it that there should be no hesitation in discarding tbe old da-h churn in its favor. But no matter what kind of a churn is used, nover churn until tho butter is gathered in chunks large enough to hold up the dasher. There are sev eral reasons why this should not be done. One ot them is that the grain is destroyed. Good butter has a fine distinct grain and when broken shows a distinct fracture like cast iron. If this grain is destroyed by over-churning or over-working, the butter becomes a greasy mixture, like lard, and has a greay taste. Again it is necessary that the buttor milk bo well washed out or the but ter will become strong and rancid in a short time. This cannot be done when tho butter is churned into lumps, so in the latter case the grain, flavor and keeping quality are all Injured. The churn should , always be stopped when the butter is in the form of small granules, ranging in size from a red clover seed to a grain of wheat; then the butter milk can be well washed out and the grain will bo uninjured if the working is proper ly done. There is no reason why tho farmer should not make just as fl e butter as anyone, providing he 11 take the trouble to do it right r.gg With Hott KhMla. Hens that have plenty of exercise and free access to the ground or to deposits of gravel will not lay soft eggs. Such hens are not only too fat, but their digestion has been Im paired by a life of inactivity. If we keep them on starvation diet we do not necessarily help their digestion. The best course with hens that lay soft egg shells is to kill them for the table. They are always fat and ready to kill. If allowed to live such fowls will get in the habit of eating their eggs, and this habit soon af fects the entire flock. Keep fowls at work for what grain they get and they will find material for egg shells of sufficient hardness. The hard shelled eggs produce the most vigor ous chicks, though they may some times need help to break their shells. American Cultivator. Farm Notes. Do not manure against the roots in planting. Jrao and wood ashes make a good fertilizer for old orchards. Newly planted grapevines should be allowed to grow only one shoot The best pruning is that whica rarely if ever calls for the removal of a largo branch. The fruit of old aes is usually richer and more highly flavored than that from young ones. If properly stored, seed of cucum bers and squash two or three years old are better than fresh ones. Sheep allowed to rem iin out in the cold storms become unthrifty, and it is cluimed a rotten fleece is tho re sult It is better to save a pound of flesh than to produce it Or, in other words, it is a losing game to neelect stock and let them lose flesh. Itesoiva to disnonaa with ,crub stock as soon as practicable and keep nothing but tho best reeding out the crops to scrub stock will make and keep any man poor. II nine llUita.

Remarks by Meaera. Stone of Pennsylva nia, Ilarter and K II it ore. Washington, Feb. 13. In the ailver debate yesterday in the house Mr. C. W. Stone, of Pennsylvania, who is at the head oi tbe minority committee on coinage, weights and measures, replied to Mr. ItlanJ. He agreed, he said, with Mr. Bland, that if the llrst section of tha bill was to bo passed the second section should be. 'II we are prepared to agree to tne practical embezzlement of a trust fund in the first section, we should not hesitate at the irregularity con tained in the second section." He contended that there was no ex isting seigniorage; that it was purely imaginary as yet If 855,000,000 of additional treasury notes were issued, as required by tho provision of this bill, without a dol lar for which certificates were issued being deposited in the treasury, each certificate would bo on its face a lieu. It was, in effect, "watering" the treasury notes to the extent of $55, 000,000 when the face value of these notes already exceed the market value of the bullion security behind them by over 156,000.000. Mr. McKeighan, Populist, Nebraska, made a free silver argument. A gold basis and a high tariff, he said, was discriminating against the West in the interest of the East At the end of Mr. McKeiirhan's speech, which consumed an hour and a half. Mr. Ilarter, Democrat Ohio, took the floor in opposition to the MIL There were three means ol reliev ing tbe treasury, according to Mr. Ilarter, any of which would snffloe. The first was to reduce salaries twenty-five per cent, including members of congress. Tbe second method proposed by Mr. Ilarter was a duty on sugar, which would provide 135,000,000; a further increase of the whisky tax to 11.20 a gallon, which would furnish 9-0,000,. 000; an increase of the tax on beer to S3, and a duty on tea and coffee. A tax of one-tenth of a cent per cup on tea and coffee, he aald, would yield a revenue of 820,000.000. Mr. Kilgore, of Texas, who made the concluding argument of the after noon, contended that if the govern ment was in need of money, it was better to coin the seigniorage than to borrow money and pay Interest upon the loan. Without completing his speech Mr. Kilgore yielded to a mo tion that the committee rise. Then at 5 o'clock the house adjourned. Well Fargo Messenger Held Up. 1 Cahhon, Nev., Feb. 12. Last night when a passenger train on the Union Pacific was about half a mile from the city it was boarded by one masked man who broke in the doors of Wells, Fargo & Co's. car with a sledge ham mer, and held up the express messen ger, taking a box of coin which the paymaster was sending to lleno to .pay employes. The box contained nearly 8J.0O0. After robbing the car he started off in the dark, the messen ger losing sight of him before he could give an alarm. Cyclone Sweeps Over an Indiana Town.
