The answer is or ought to be that tin»:* do both, says W . R. Gilbert in Wool Markets and Sheep. Rivalry ami competition, of course within rea sonahle limits, stir men up to do theii best in onier to keep puce with theii rivals. Then us a general rule an lin provement iu merit means an increase cf market value, and it is undeniable that sliovv yurd decorations add to tiie value of un animal very considerably. With sheep, as with other animals, the sire is half the flock, and it is quite possible for a farmer to grade up a second rate flock by the continued use of a really good and impressive ram. nnd it is unwise to lose on n suitable one when under the hammer for the sake of a few dollars. Nothing adds to the good looks of a pen of sheep more than uniformity and niutchiuess of size and features, and the attainment of this object should he kept in view by the breeder who wants to get a good price In the sales yard. When buying his rams the farmer should keep tills object in view, whether he intends to go In for selling fat lambs oi not. The’-e is nothing like good, pure blood and good back breeding on a sire of sheep, not less than other kinds of stock. Even if crossbreeds are desired this is advisable and pays in the end by producing lambs more evenly mark e l and therefore better looking than from a doubtful bred ram.

One time I had my steers weighed 111 , and one had gained only ten pounds during the month, while tiie others had gained from fifty to sixty pounds each. I thought of course my boys that had weighed them had made a mistake. The second month that steer gained only fifteen pounds, while the others had gained eighty pounds. I examined that steer and found he stood where the floor had worn down and that he had stood on his toes, nnd his legs had become sore. I took him out of that place and pul him in a box stall, and he gained nine ty pounds a month for the next three months. At another time I let the steers out for water, and they ran hard, and one steer hit and cracked his horn. lie gained only fifteen pounds the next month. Tiie rest gained eighty pounds each.” C o n r e r n ln i D a r k «. What is CASTORIA Castorin is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Pare goric, Drops and Soothing Syrups. I t is Pleusnnt.

A correspondent of Nature asks for evidence, if there Is any, in support of tiie almost universal belief amoug driv j ers, owners and builders of carriages | that if tiie distance between tiie fore j and bind wheels of vehicle« be in creased the draft will become heavier. Xo reason is given for the belief, and no explanation of it is ottered, but a carri go builder to whom the corre spondent in question submitted a test case in which two carriages were of exactly tiie same weight v.itli wheels i wf the same height, but with the body of one much longer than that of tho other, was sure that the former would be the heavier to move. It seems to us that this !>? a matter in which tiie facts should l.e settled by experiments be fore the theory is investigated. Every one remembers how Charles II. asked the Royal society why if a fish were put into a full bucket of water tho w a ter < 11.1 not overflow and when they had exhausted themselves in learned explanations suggested that they should get a fish and n bucket and see what hapt euefl then. There ought to be no diifioiilty In testing how much power tiie long and the short carriage respectively require, nnd if it proves to be tiie same the question is answered without more ado.—London Globe.

This gentlemen relates that he was at his work before a glowing coal fire when some one tapped at the door, and a yov.nc- girl belonging to a family who lived in the flat above him came in. “Sir,” she said, “would you kindly lend me a live coni or two to start our fire with? It's gone out.” “Certainly, my dear,” said the sa vant. “But you have brought nothing to carry it in. Take my shovel.” “Oh. 110 , sir,” answered the child. “I will curry the coals In my hand.” “In your hand? W hat do you mean? You’ll be burned.” “Oh, no. sir. I’ll show you how.” The child dipped up some uslies from the grate and placed them in the hol lowed palm of her left hand. Then with the longs she laid two burning coals on the top of the little heap of ashes. Then she bowed, smiled and went out, bearing her coals unharmed. “Well, well!” said the man of science to himself. “Herr» I ’ve been studying natural philosophy forty years und nev er hud the wit to do that!” C o n u t B is m a r c k Of all human diseases, Contagions Blood Poison is the most hideous and hateful.
