A Fools Decision.

A poor beggar in Paris being very hum
cry, stayed so long in a cooks shop, who
was dishing up meat, that his stomach was
satisfied with only the smell thereof. The
choieric,~ coyetous cook demanded of him
to pay for his breakfast. The poor man
denied it and il was referred to the decis-
ion Of the Eext man that should pass by,
who CHANGED TO be a notorious idiot. He
determined that the poor mans money
should be put between empty dishes and
the cook recompensed by its jingling, as
he was satisfied with only the smell Of the
cooks meat.-Fuller.

Sheep MANAGEMENT.


Having paid some attention to manag-
ing sheep. during the last fifteen years.
propose to throw out a few hints I'd what
l consider the bestmode of managing that
useful animal.
Sheep should be kept on elevated dry
pasture, and, when it can be done, q piece
of wood land should be enclosed in the
posture for the comforto of the sheep during
the heat Of summer To be successful in
raising lambs, they should never come be-
fore the middle or latter part of April
They will then thrive without any nursing.
I never suffer sheep to have lambs before
they are two years old. About the first OF
September lambs should be separated from
the flock and put into an early moved
meadow. This will be beneficial both TO
ewes and lambs by so doing ives have
time to improve their condition and ai6
them in passing the winter months free
from disease.
In curing hay for sheep, | have put il
up rather green and have generally used o
peck of salt for each ton, which saves the
trouble Of sailing in other modes.
My uniform practice has been to deposit
hay for sheep in small barns, placed or
the highest parts ofthe meadow with a shet
at n corner TO shelter them during sever,
storms.
No other stock should ever be fed will
sheep; il they are It exposes sheep to inju
ry and loss of wool.
In pursuing this course Fhave been yer,
sucoessfhl in raising sheep, seldom havin,
lost q sheep or lamb, or even a lock Q
wool. ]. D.

Cunning Astrologer.

An a%strologer foretold the death Of a Ia
dy whom Louis XII. passionately loved
She did, in fact die and the King mag
med the prediction of the astrologer was
the Of it. He sent for the man, in
tending TO have him thrown through the
window, as a punishment.
"Tell me, thou who ~pretendest to be SO
clever and learned a man, what thy fate
will be-"
The %soothsayer, who suspected the in
trigues Of the Prince, and knew his foible,
replied:
.Sire, I ~foresee that l shall die three
days before your Majesty"
The King believed him, and was care.
full of the astrologer's life.
