Feeding Sheep.

As to my reasons for keeping sheep in
30 small lots In the first place, in small
lots each sheep will get its proper share
Of grain, etc, and In the second place,
you can keep them more quiet All the
room they should have, in my opinion, IL
so that they can lie down comfortably and
not crowd each other. One quart Of corn
per head day is heavy feed, / admit, but
II they are large, strong wethers, that will
weigh 100 or 10 pounds on an average In
the fall, they will eat it, If the weather Is
steady cold But If it is hot and cold
every few days, they will not eat quite 30
much. Ny theory of feeding sheep u
this, that alter you get them well on their
feed, and up to what we term full feed,
the more you can get them TO eat, the
faster they will lay on fat. Ny experience
Is that If you want TO fatten sheep fast,
give them all they can eat and digest and
keep them quiet, and they will not dissp-
point you. claim that you can crowd
sheep "a well a. you can hog, II you
know how TO do IT. We calculate TO make
sheep gain from twenty up TO twenty-five
pounds per head, live weight, In about 100
or 10 days from the tims We put them In
the yardA-E L. Potter. n CsSSssy GsS

One OF Sheridan's Jokes.

SHERIDAN was fond Of practical jokes,
one Of which he played off upon the
Duke Of Devonshire. Sheridan was in
the habit Of frequenting Dolly's chop.
house, where he generally called for de-
viled shin-b bone Of beef. One day, coming
in rather later than usual, he was told that
the only shin bone In the larder was being
cooked for His Grace the Duke Of Devon
shire. Sheridan, who knew the Dukes
person, though not acquainted with him,
took q seat within ear-shot Of him, and
began q conversation with a friend in
loud tone Of voice. II always imagined"
said he, "that Dolly's chop. house was one
of the neatest establishments In London,
but made discovery this morning which
has convinced me that was mistaken"
The Duke listened very attentively. "As
was passing the kitchen window" con-
tinued Sheridan, ~ observed turn-spit
boy greedily gnawing shin-bone Of beef.
Presently one Of the cooks ran up to him,
and, giving him blow on the neck, com
PEELED him TO drop his prize. You dirty
little rascal said the cook, couldn't you
find something else to eati Here I've got
to cook this bone for the Duke Of Devon
shire" Soon after the conclusion Of this
tale, q waiter entered the room, and ad.
vanced TO His Grace with q covered dish.
"Take it away!" Yoared the Duke, with q
face of great disgust, II can't touch
morsel Of It," "6tay, waiter!" said 6her.

seemed more like weep" weep" than

as usual; but we never saw him again to
know him.
Bessie's conduct toward me was often
very amusing Traits of character were
manifested that instinct will net explain.
If in the mornings l should begin water
ing my plants, or other work, before /

low me about, scolding and darting down
at me as if she intended to peck my eyes
out and this would be continued until
would quit all else and attend to her. But
after her breakfast she would come out to
where I was, perch on the nearest tree or
bush. and give me my pay in one OF her
sweetest songs.-Independent.

Effect or Treatment ON Animals.

BESIDES the effect of skill in selection,
good deal lies in the proper treatment Of
animals. The best beasts may be spoiled
by bad management
Docility and quietness Of disposition,
which are points of 80 great Importance,
depend greatly on how the animals are
used. A kind and gentle way of treating
them, If uniformly persevered In, has .
magical effect, and there Is no doubt that
too little attention Is paid to this matter.
Bakewells cattle were noted for their gen.
tleness, and this was owing to the uniform
kindness with which he caused them to be
treated. And here there must be selection
also, for temper runs in the blood like
other things Animals of wild and
vicious disposition should not be kept for
breeding, however excellent they may
otherwise be, for there is every chance the
fault will be inherited, and every one
knows what pest even one wild beast Is
in herd.
The animal nature responds wonder
fully to kind treatment. Every one has
heard of the Arabs and their h6rses--how
these children of the desert excel as in
their usage Of these fine creatures, and
how generously the noble steeds answer To
the call of their masters, without the rough
appeal to whip and spur which is too COM
mon with us.
Sir Charles Knightley, we'll known as
q breeder Of Short Horns, was still more
celebrated as brilliant horseman. He
had q famous hunter called Benvolio, the
best he ever rode; but in the hands Of an
other man this horse would, in all proba-
bility, have turned out q useless and
vicious brute. The first trial of him
seemed only to show that his most dis
tinguishing characteristic was an utter
aversion to all sorts of jumping exercise.
Sir Charles took him out alone one
morning, and endeavored to bring him TO
reason, but in vain. Stock.still he stood,
and no power on earth could induce him
TO take fence. His rider came home to
luncheon somewhat discouraged but not
disgusted-cast down, but not In despair.
After glass Of Madeira, he brought him
out again, still patient, good-tempered and
perseyering The animal that would have
resisted coercion to death was at length
Benvolio became the finest hunter In En-
with the Baronet on his back are yet re-
lated with wonder and admiration. One
spot is pointed out that still goes by tho
name Of Knightley's Leap" which de-
generate horsemen Of modern times gaze
at with dismay, declaring that even on .
second Benv0lio, no confederation would
induce them to ride at 1t. Here then 10 q
fine instance of what can be done by Q
gentle and mastery hand.
Again, there Is no doubt that treatment
is of much importance In developing tho
size and expansibility of the animal frame.
Good shelter, and plenty Of food, given
without intervals of starvation,
have evidently the effect Of increasing the
size and early development of cattle, and
The best breeds can be stunted and spoiled
In course of time by an opposite system Of
hunger and exposure.-Hof. J0jWseson.

BRAVE AND BUSY.

4 WORK SONG FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
ALI Gods little creatures
In field. and wood, and hill,
In summer and in winter,
Are brave and busy STILL;
They are not heard complaining,
In sunshine or In raining;
They work to get q living,
Each In his honest way;
And never waste In fretting,
Or carelessly forgetting,
In greediness or striving,
One hour of any day.
Their voices ill with music
Each field, and wood, and hill,
In summer and In winter
Brave and busy still;
Brave and busy, brave and busy,
Brave and busy still
II could speak their language,
I'd 60 to wood and hill,
And ask them how they keep so
Brave and busy still.
Perhaps they would not know me,
Perhaps they would not show me,
Perhaps they could not teach it
The secret of their ways:
But II they would not tell me,
I'd coax some one to cell me,
SO much, would beseech 1t,
The rule by which their days
Go on, SO full OF music,
In field. and wood, and hill,
In sammer and In winter,
SO brave and busy still;
Brave and busy, brave and busy,
Brave and busy still!
But II the little creatures
In field, and wood. and hill,
The secret OF their keeping
so brave and busy still,
Will not so much IA teach me,
They shall not overreach me;
For will find some other
Good way, all of my own;
Not one OF them shall beat me;
They'll think am their brother
Soon as they hear the tone,
In which, with merry music,
Ny fathers house I'LL,
In summer and In winter,
Brave and busy still;
Brave and busy, brave and busy,
Brave and busy still

Its political triumphs have been constant
ly gained through fraudulent majorities,
and it has in this way forced its suprem-
