the relative superiority of the two markets.

it appears that the escort for the week ending

A WORD TO KEEPERS OF SHEEP.

A WORD TO hEEFEKS OF SHEEP.
A large number Of the farmers OF Ohio
think that, give sheep grass during the
spring, summer and autumn months, hay
during the early part Of winter, and hay
and grain towards spring; if they die from
poverty in the spring, as many Of them do,
it is attributed 10 bad luck. The unlucky
man will say that he feeds his sheep all
the grain they want in February and
March and they still 60 down in flesh, and
many of them die, while those belonging
to his neighbor get through these trying
months on half the grain and keep in good
flesh. Why is it? 1t must be luck
Now il the unlucky man will look at his
neighbor's sheep occasionally in the
month Of November and December. he
will find them on good feed and looking
strong. His lucky neighbor will tell him
that when the frosts come on in the fall the
pastures fail in substance, and this is the
time sheep require care and attention.
They should have some good hay and a
little grain. A sheep to endure the ap.
preaching winter should be provided as
we'll with coat of flesh as of wool. Ifhe
goes into the winter strong, it is easy to
bring him out strong in the spring; but if
he is thin in flesh in the fall, all the grain
that can be given will not bring him up.
A peck in December is better than bush.
el in March-an ounce Of preventive is
better than pound Of cure. But the un-
lucky man will say, his sheep wont eat
hay. he carried them an arm.full few
DAYS ago. and they ran over il and tramp
ed it in the mud; as for grain, he never
thought it necessary to be given until Feb
ruary. when sheep got weak.
Now if, the unlucky man will put his
hay in racks to prevent its being trampled
under foot. and win adopt his neighbours
mode Of feeding, he will find in March
tn at there is more in man agement than in
luck. 'l;l He UNCLE BILLY.

J
the plea which you are compelled to make
on behalf Of our whole country? Can
you not easily conceive that the calumnies
and aspersions upon her may also be the
offspring Of prejudice, Of stupid, malig-
nant, undiscerning prejudice?
In some respects our fate is hard and
peculiar. The calumniators Of our com.
mon country do not content themselves
with mere generalities, they specify, they
particularize. The libelers OF Monroe
employ the most foul and brutal Ian
guage in mere general abuse. Our coun-
try has illustrious traducers. In the list Of
her slanderers almost every name, except
that Of the aforesaid Beverly Tucker, sin.
ter ehrisiianos non nominandum," is emf.
nent for rank, or riches, or genius, or learn
ing. Look at the libelers of Monroe,

boy was Colossus, Titan in literature
compared to them.

But our detractors have never wander.
cd so far in the flowery or thorny paths Of
literature. Such sciences as Etymology,
Syntax, and Prosody are net in the list Of
their attainments, and their acquaintance
with Orthography and Punctuation. is We.
ry slight. Address them on such subjects,
and their reply would be similar to that
of the old Latin Bishop, when copy Of
the Sep,uagint was put in his hands, "Gre-
cum est non potest legere." Yet they
know how to employ foul and base Ian.
guage for their own base purposes. Like
Dean Swilt's Yahoos, they are perfectly
capable Of showering filth on all, whose
virtues or talents give offence to their brute
prejudices. The materials for retaliation
are abundant. But as patriots, what
pleasure can we take in discovering 10
surrounding states and communities tho
sores Of the body polite? What pleasure
can we take in letting the world know that
great many walking libels on humanity
cucumber the soil OF the Buckeye State?
That ignorance, stupidity and brutality
abound. We have not the slightest dis
position TO postpone for a moment the Pc
Rod, when the curtain Of oblivion will in.
evitably fall upon the de,ractors and sian.
derers of Monroe and her citizens. On
the contrary we are perfectly willing to
say to them as Uncle Toby said to the
scoundrel fly, go poor devils! there is
room enough in the world for you and
