Attend to the Sheen.


1t is not good practice to let the sheep
run out on poor, frost bitten pasture, as long
as they can maintain life, before taking them
al. and feeding them Indeed, half the
wintering sheep depends upon the condition
IN witch they are IN on the first Of December
If they have had to provide for themselves
up to this date, and even up to the first of
January, as is frequently the case, they are
IN very poor condition to Withstand the
inclement season Of winter, and many Of
them viii come to an untimely grave
One of the great secrets of success with
sheep is to begin to feed early IN autumn,
just as soon as the pasture begin to fail If
the pastures fail, the sheep viii fail too, IN
less they have outside aid. They cannot
begin the winter IN too good condition II
they are strong and fat they are prepared to
resist the cold and storms but, If weak and
poor, they fall an easy prey to the trying
winter weather
Every sheep man should thoroughly Gull
his flock at this season, and dispose of all
the old and poor sheep at some price or
other. This Is another secret Of success in
sheep raising-sell off the poor ones-keep
the best ones. This Is the season to Gull the
fOck-befere winter sets In, Don't fail to
do this, if you weuld be a successful wool
grower.
Another. seeret.of success is, to keep no
more sheep than you can keep we'll Have
plenty of pasture for what you keep, and
plenty of hay and grair to feed them in
winter. If you want them to have heavy
feeces, they must have heavy feeding-they
cant have them without 1t pays to feed all
kinds of stock well, particularly sheep.
Another matter Of great Importance is, to
have good shelter for sheep-it is indispensa-
bic almost to success. Cheap sheds can be
put up that will ward off the cold winds and
rains. We do not advocate close yards for
sheep. Exercise is healthful, and if they
can have the piekings to be found IN the
fields ia cur latitude in winteG-the exer-
else and the grass they get are highly bene-
fetal to them. Blue grass pastures, rye
fields, etc, are very desirable to the fcck-
master COLeman's RllraL World.

4 FTendish Outrage j1a Maury Coun IL
The Nashville Banner Of the 18th gives
the details of a most horrible crime in
Maury county The name of the lady who
was the unfortunate victim Is withheld 1t
seems that some time during 1851 or 1862
she married gentleman living IN Lawrence
county, and accompanied him thither A
few days ago she returned to her old home,
on a visit to her brother at his residence be-
tween Bigbyville and Mount Pleasant, In
Maury county. Last Monday, after eating
her dinner, she said that she would take a
walk In the orchard, as the weather was fine,
and left the house, Several hours elapsed,
and inquiries as to her whereabouts began
to be made. The family at length became
alarmed and search was made in the orchard,
Lying among the tall weeds, insensible, and
with frightful cash in her throat they
found the unhappy lady. Around her We're
the evidences that she struggled desperately
to save her honor. She was Immediately
carried back to the house, where every pOssi-
bic attention was shown her. After her
wound was dressed, she revived so far as to
be able to communicate by means of signs
some idea of the horrible misfortune which
had befallen her l. was ascertained that
the william who had violated her person was
a negro, of whom she was unable, owing to
her condition to give a description After
having accomplished his purpose he pierced
her throat with his knife, intending to add
the crime of murder to that already com
mitted
When last heard from the lady was not
expected to survive her injuries. The negro
had not been arrested.
