NTAsON's PATENT PURIFIED SPERM


1fl OIL.-This Oil, for brilliancy, durability,
and purity light, and for lubricating purpo-
ses, whether applied to the delicate works of
watch or the most ponderous machinery, surpasses
any oil now known.
1t s warranted not to gum, being entirely de-
prived of that substance, which 80 seriously i'm
pedes the rapid movement of all kinds of machine
nv; and for burning it is cheaper and better
than any eleaginous substance now in use.
While it affords light superior to gas or cam
phene it is also free from the dangerous explosive
quality of the latter, being solely sperm oil
purified.
So pure is this oil that it willno freeze at any
degree of cold known within the limits of the
United States; having thereby in this, as in every
other particular, advantage over the best sperm
oil now used.
Ater devoting many years IN experimenting
with the various oils, for the purpose of overcom-
ing their impurities at present fabricated, the
undersigned assures the public that he has sue
ceeded in producing the ''ne plus ultra" of oils.
He offers it superior to any known oil in the
world for the purposes of burning and lubricating,
and inyokes the scientific of all countries to test
1t and pronounce their opinion, satisfied that all
will agree that it ia the finest oil ever offered for
sale. WILLIAM ~ iOWNSEND, Pblla.

THE great success of the last volume OF ezra

ser|ing reading matter, ombodcns the publisher TO
attempt more energetic efforts for the new year,
We shall still SO conduct the Magazine rs to meet
the wants and wishes Of very large body of tho
people, who now begin to look to periodical works
for the correct and various information which was
previously sought for in heavy volumes and out Of
the way libraries
We believe We can no conduct this Magazine, that
while II will meet the wishes Of the lovers of agree
able literature, Il shall sl impart in scientific ar,
cles and articles OF general utility information that
will be valuable and desirable TO many. In pursa.
nncc OF this purpose, We shall place under tho eyes
OF our readers not alone articles of high merit writ
ten to order by our wcl.known corps of contrib,i-
tors, but shall draw upon the first literature of the
Old World--as success and increased circulation
may enable us still further to increase The number Of
pages Of Grdham--so that we shall present the very
beat articles that arc published abroad as well as
those that are written expressly for ms at home.
Wc trust that this effort to extend the usefulness OF
the Magazine, will he met by that continuance OF
favor from our readers which has checred us as cd.
itor Of the work for more than thirteen years and
that tho Magazine whose foundation was laid in 1926

AGRICULTURAL.
Wool Growing.


Texas having the reputation Of being per-
h2ps the best adapted f6s Weol growing Of any
State in the Union, II II surprising that no few
Of our farmers direct their attention 70 this i'm.
portant and lucrative branch Of business II
II true that We have among us many farmers
engaged In sheep raising, but not onc-tsnth as
many rs might find il profitable. II seems
that there never was time when the prospect
of success in this business was no favorable rs
the present period Mr.. Peters, the editor Of
the Woo. Grower and Stock Register, who Is
doubtless better posted up in this department.
and Of course bottcr qualified TO give an opin-
ION than any other man In the country, in q
late number OF his work and under the head.
ing Of Future Prospects for Sheep and Cattle,
says the high prices which will be paid for
wool the next few years, ought to ensure the
rapid increase Of sheep for II the focks were
now increased at once 70 so or 100 millions,
there would be demand at full prices for NIL
Ahc wool, and surplus stock. There can be no
doubt as to the fact, that no business will pay
80 largely for the next five years in all the west
and southwest for the capital employed, as
wool growing; and he again advises all who
can to turn their attention to sheep. Grow
good wool II you grow but for wool; II for NUT
ton, then grow the large English mutton sheep.
Mr.. Peters in his review Of the wool market
for April SAVE: The dealers have settled into
tho conviction, that they will get very little
wool under 90 cents per H., for at that figure
all the light clean Mcrino wool, will pay to OK.
port TO England The range of prices will VA.
ry from 90 to 90 ccnts ON all except very ligh,
clean Snxony, which will go from 10 to 90 cts
and some very choice lots may reach 81, at
which price German lambs wool is selling in
London
If tho views that Mr.. Peters has taken are
correct, sheep will pay handsome profit to
tho flock master in the country.
Our winters arc 80 mild that sheep can bc
kept 81 much less expense than at the North
The production of mutton for the supply of tho
interior, coast towns and New Orleans Markets
would no doubt pay large profits.
The great call for lambs in the same mar
kcts, and handsome prices paid for them, would
make the raising of early lambs profitable
business. A cross between the Leicester or
South Down Bucks and our common sheep, il
IL said, will produce lambs that will sell much
higher for that purpose than those raised from
common Buck. According TO the price quo.
ted from Mcrino wool, our common wool should
sell for Al cents and upwards.--.Saa Antonio
