Mutton the Meat for rarmer..

The cheapest meat for farmers is mutton.
II may safely be said il costs nothing. The
wool that is annually sheared from the body
Of every sheep, richly pays for its keeping.
In this climate It costs less TO keep sh ep
than at the North, on account of the short
ness of our winters. Then there is the
increase-an item Of great Importance.
The increase is so much clear profit.
From this increase the farmer can get all
his meat for the year if he likes. Or he
may save the lambs and take some OF the
older sheep in their places.
The pelt of the sheep, il killed for NUT.
ton, is also saved and sold, which is worth
nearly as much as the sheep would sell
for.
II is also the most convenient meat to
have on-hand. In the warmest weather a
farmer can take care of one sheep slter
being killed, without letting it spoil. With
beef this is not so easy.
One hand can kill and dress a sheep in an
hour. 1t takes but little time or trouble TO
kill sheep, not near as much as TO kill and
dress a hog or beef. On account Of con.
venience and economy, we say keep sheep
and live upon mutton.
We have said nothing about its being the
healthisst. This is admitted. 1t needs nc
arguments or facts 10 prove it. II is true
that pork is the chief meat of farmers. Il
is the unhealIhiest Of all, whether fresh OF
saturated with salt to preserve ii sound.
Let every farmer keep sheep, They ar,
the most profitable stock en- farm. TIL,
hogs back only yields bristles, while thu
: sleeps yields downy wool. All that yol
feed TO the hog is gone, unless you kill it
while the sheep will pay you for its. keel
with its fleece yearly. The hog is a filthy
voraciCus animal-the sheep gentle as
dove and neat and clearly. - Rural World

Wonder has often been expressed as to
what became of the thousands Of persons
who must have been in Pompeii at the time
of its destruction, 10 whom the few remains
which have been found bear no sort Of
proportion. Recent excavations have how
ever, brought TO light numerous relics, the
last discovered of which are peculiarly
affecting. The Temple of Juno has been
uncovered, and in it more than three hum
dred skeletons have been discovered in
attitudes of terror and devotion. A pro.
pitiary sacrifice was evidently being offered
at the time when the worshippers were
overwhelmed, The statue of Juno, the
tripod, the censor (exactly similar in form
to those used at this day in the Roman

which deck the figure of the Idol, are The
