SHEEP PULLING THEIR WooL--During the past
thrcs or four years, have repeatedly noticed in
quiries in the agricultural journals. as to the
cause and euro Of sheep biting or pulling their
wool, but have as yet never seen q satisfactory
answer given. From experience with my own
flock, and from observation among the 6ocks OF
others, | have become satisfied, In the great ma
joriiy Of cases, as to its cause, and know from
repeated trials that We have at hand simple and
complete remedy. Intending to exhibit some
full blood sheep at the fairs during the autumn OF
1868, and desiring to have them In better condi.
ton than they would naturally bo while running
in the closely stocked summer pastures. drew
about the FIRST Of September, o few two.year-old
ewes from the main flock aud turned them upon
the meadows. with good supply of clover and
other grasses. Noneo them at this time showed
the slightest symptoms OF wool.pullinc. In the
course VI two or three weeks they were percepti-
bly, laying on flesh, and with 1t also appeared
symptoms OF that disorder so annoying to aock.

ground already lost, they were given an extra

that the prevailing cause Of this disorder Is .

There never was an event worthy OF forming
a history of itself that will 50 easily and accu.
ratcly be written as the history of our civil
war. That contest has been cOnductcdon prin-
ciplcs entirely peculiar to i,sclf. Not that the
great art Of war, tho destruction OF the greatest
number Of the enemy, has been a discovery of
our own; hut thcmeans and appliancesto work
out victory were either new, or peculiar to
the combatants. 1t was contrary to cvcry rule
of military practice for q large army ono hun,
dred and thirty eight miles from its base OF
supplies. to allow its tender lines Of communi-
cation to be severed, and then swing off into
tho cnemy's country for two hundred miles
march to the sea, leaving powerful army OF
the enemy in the rear. So were theappiances
of war upon tho water new and peculiar To our
selves, as we'll in the ordnance uscd as the iron.
clads in which our brave tars withstood the
iron hail Of heavy cannon. Then look ut our
Christian Sanitary Commissions, lofty monu.
inents of loving humanity in the midst OF war
We cannot call tho "war correspondent"
Yankee Institution, for in the Crimean War
the London Times had its correspondent; but
tho daily history OF the war not only written
by professional men upon the spot, but by actu.
al participants in the contest, was peculiarly
never before witnessed, and is ol incalculable
benefit to tho Historian.
The close Of tho war has been prolific in His
tories, vet We have never seen one that promises
TO be of greater value than the one before us.
Mr.. 7. Kettle is a pleasing writer, his style is
concise, and leaves tho impression upon the
reader that all has been said upon each sub
icct matter that need be said, and us far as we
have traced him in this History, tho smallest
item Of necessary lnct seems not to have been
overlooked. lie does not deal in crude and
premature spcculations, nor docs ho mar the
beauty and value of his work by attempts at
philospphic disquisitions or rhetoric platitudcs,
which have distinguished several works pub
lished. As Editor of the Army and Navy
Journal ho had unusual facilities to learn o
facts, Official and otherwise, and he here gath
ers them together and leaves, as he should do.
tho intelligent reader to draw his own infercn.
cies In short, il is worth all the histories OF
the rebellion that have preceded it. 1t is very
largely illustrated with cngrayinss and maps,
and is complete IN ono volume. Sold only by
subscription, an agent for which, we presume,
will canvass in this locality, and subscribers
will find the work of intrinsic value.

A SHARP CLERorMAs.-Emigration I" the State
of Michigan was so great during the years 1898
and 1886. that every house was 6lled every night
with travellers wanting lodging. Every traveller
there at that time will remember the difficulty OF
obtaining bed in the hotels, even II h. had two
Or three "strauge bcdfellows." The Rev Hoses
Brown. an eccentric Methodist minister. stopped
one night at one Of the hotels In Ann Arbor, and
inquired II he could have Q room and bel to him
self The bar.keeper told him he could unless
they should become so full rs to render II neces-
sary TO put another In with him. Al an early
hour the reverend gentleman went Ia his room'
locked tho door, retired to bis bed. and soon sunk
into comfortable sleep. Along toward midnight
he WAS reused FROM his slumbcrs by loud knock
ing at his door.
"Hsllo you there" he exclaimed what do
you want nopv'- particular stress On the last
word.
"You must take another iodger. SIR. In with
YOU" said the voice Of tho landlord.
"what! another yeti"
'why. yes there's only ono in here, 's 'here''
"Ons why, here Is Mr.. Brown. anil Me,ho-
dist preacher, and myself already, and should
think that enough for ono bed, even In Michi-
gan"
The landlord seemed to think SO, too, aud left
the trio to their repose.
