Sheep Breeding AMI Wool Growing.


Sheep Breeding and Wool Growing.
A meeting of the Sheep Breeders
and Wool Growers Association was
held at Syracuse, New York, at which
there was fair attendance of mem
bcrs, the number present beirg up
wards of two hundred.
The pulling of wool, its cause and
cure was introduced for discussion.
The opinions expressed varied CON
siderably. ToDacco water was rec
ommended, and mercurial ointment.
The President had known both to be
successful. Mr.. Lalor, of Oheida,
suggested precaution as to the strength
of the mercurial ointment applied, as
it varies as sold, and one speaker had
stated that he had diluted it with
three parts o. la d, and another with
only one. Kerosene had been tried,
stopping the wool pulling, but leading
to the occurrence of abortion.
Rheum tism in sheep, its cause and
cure, consumed the remainder of tie
afternoon session. Mr.. Greer, of
Ohio, who attended the meeting,
mentioned that the disease has not as
yet, to his knowledge, appeared. in
that State, nor, with single excep-
ton, in Hin is, in any part of the
west.
The evening session opened with
- discussion upon the cause and cure
Of 90 tire in sheep-a disease which
appears to have prevailed within "A
few years past extensively in nearly
all parts Of the State. Y ny little
evidence was brought forward to
show that it can either be allcyiated
or prevented, unless by the old
ance of everything either in manage
ment or breeding, which can tend to
weaken the constitution and les en-
the Vital powers Of the animal. And
the great lesson of the meeting-de-
voted as it was so largely to the dis
eases to which by almost unanimous
assent the "highest bred Merinoes
were pronounced far Eore liable than
any others seems to us to be clear
" one Of warning, above all things
else, no matter what reputation an
animal may have, what price it
brings, or what fleece it yields-that
must be made the first question with
the iudicous hockmaster fully to sat
isfy himself that nothing in its de-
sent or treatment should render it's
oiIsprings lacking IN that vigor and
healthfulncss without which all 9th
er good qualities are nugatory and
useless. TO listen to the sickenng
details given by one or two of the
speakers of a whole crop of lambs
deformed INTO monstrocities Of every
kind carted away on a stoneboat as
soon as droppcd-statements fully
authenticated by the testimony of
the President and others, of what
had occurred within their own cxpe-
riencc, was enough to satisfy any
unprejudieed hearcr, that whatever
is open to the shadow of suspicion,
as likely to introduce or confirm such
results. cannot be too iealouslv guar
ded against or too strenuously de-
nounced.

From the New York Times, 29th.J ii
! There la no one member Of the Cabinet
about whom pubic opinion has been 50 surely,
though gradually, changing. 80 in regard 70
peared In the beginning of his admtnist; alton
his impu]siveness in public action, and his
sometimes harsh treatment Of indivlduals-
are being forgotten In tho sp1endor of his
successes aud the integrity Of bis administers
ton. If BIZ. Stanton Is lmpulsive now, 1t ia
always on the side Of. liberty against oppres-
In his eagerne:s to throw his own t.emen-
dors force Of character and mind into mill
1nrY movements which seem to him sluggish
or hesitatiug. His acts Of revolutionary en-
ergy or arbitrary power are not confined TO-
punIshiBg petty ttattors, but to the arrest
and punishment Of more conspicuous csimi-
nails in peculiar crises Of affairs. His prompt
removal Of Gen. Butter and his imme-
diate renewal of tho attack on Whining
ton were grand and successful Instances
Of bis revolutionary energy" The recent
prompt, but most trenchant statement of the
grounds Of dtsapproval ofGen. Sherman's ne
force and bis deep earnestness IN the national
cause In the best light, We believe the whole
country felt certain sense Of relief aud se-
curity, when that manifesto appeared, at the
thought Of two such vigorous hands a: the
helm as Mr. stanton's and Air. Johnson's.
b1t the highest glory oi the 5ecretatF ot
War, on the page ot history, will be hts re-
maj kablc powers Of organization aud the en-
tire integrity / f his administration.
When we reflect that for four years Mr.
Stonton and his officials have been feeding,
clothing, arul1ng and taking medical care Of
some 500, Goo men each yer, transporting
them with great rapidlty thousands Of miles
On the Sea and the land, and that no instance
has occurred Of short supplies, or Irregular
transportation, or deficient clothing or allm-
1nE, OF ION any large scale)of went Of medi-
cnl supplies, everything seeming to be just
where It was needed. We must admit that

been great organizing BRAIN !
And not the bitterest enemy of Mr. Stan

tayut Of corruption or yenality in bis hi:h Of.

year, he has never incurred even the suspicion
