WooL.-The history OF the growth Of
wool IS very curious. Fifty years ago no.
a pound Of fine wool was raised in the
United States, in Great Britain. or any
other country except Spain In the latter
the focKs were owned exclusively bv the
nobility or the crown. In 1864, small
flock was sent 70 t.,e Elec,or of Saxony. as
present from the King of Spain. whence
the entire product of Saxon wool. now OF
such immense value. Before the breaking
ont Of the last war between this country
and Great Britain. Colone, Humphreys sue
cecdcd in getting few rrarinc sheep
brouch. on, of Spain: then their eNporta-
ton was prohibited under penalty of being
sent to the callevs for life.
In 1899. during the second invasion Of
Spain by the French, some of the valuable
crown fiocks were sold 10 raise money.
Oar Consul at Lisbon. Mr.. Jarvis, pur-
chased fourteen hundred head. and sent
them - this country. Previously. how
ever, Mr.. Livingston obtained few sheep
y; the Spanish breed. present. in 1892.
\ portion Of the pure unmiXed merino
blood Of these flock, is 10 be found in Yer
mont at this time. Such was the origin of
the immense tiocks of finc-wooled sheep
in the United States and Great Britain.

that insects disappear in the fall till they
appear again in the spring. Never allow
any eggs 10 remain in the nest. for what
are called nest eggs. When the ROSTERS
do not run with the hens, and no nest eggs
are left in the nest, the hens will not cease
laying after the production Of twelve or
fifteen eggs. as they always do when roos-
ters and nest eggs arc allowed. but con-
tnue laying perpetually. My hens lay
all winter, aud each from seventy 10 ono
hundred eggs in succession. 1.-THE above
plan was generally followed. eggs would
just be as plentiful in winter as in summer

Territorial Acq uisitions:

Before we hear Of the ratification of th6
treaty. by which we are to acquire New
Mexico and Upper California, PROPOSE
ton is introduced into Congress to take
temporary military occupation Of fucatan.
on the prctext Of protecting the Spanish
descendants from the wrath OF the native
population. No one, however, can doubt
that the real object is to acquire the per-:
mancnt sovereignty Of that country; and
in our opinion the scheme is but tho pre-
cursor Of plot to acquire Cuba. also.
The original compfoters Of tho Texas Re-
volution, will never deem their real policy
consummafed, till they see Cuba and
several Of the most fruitful islands of tho
West Indies wrcnched from the possession
of their present owners and added 20 those
domains Of which they aspire 10 be tho
sovereign lords. Cuba may. and proba-
bly, will be, torn away from tho feeble
grasp Of Spain; bmt mtX nerey he amer
ed to the United S;0tcs-merer be incor4
poratcd into the present Union
But the grasping policy Of large por-
ton Of this country, and which hifherto
has turned its longing look only south
wardly, begins to direct its vision from tho
tropics to colder chimes. Partly debauch.
ed by the immoral tendencies Of the times.
and partly TO resent the aggressive spirit,
which has sought qualification in disrnem.
bcring ;hc Mexican republic, in order 10
extend the institution Of slavery. a covet-
Gus eye is now turned on the British pro-
vinces on our northern boundary. Tho
Canadas and New Brunswick, annexed 10
the United States. will at once give W
five or six free States, to counterpoise
Texas and other. prospective States in that
quarter. Should the present political
troubles in Europe result in general war,
England will necessarily be compelled to
take leading part in the strife; in which
case; a rebellion in her American provin-
ces may be counted on with certainty.
Then we shall have another taste Of the
policy Of acquisitions; and the time OF this
is not far off, The United States, soless
volens, will b. embroiled in that conhi0t,
and it requires very little effort OF imagine
ton to see our armies wadinR in blood an
