Keep a few Sheen.

A correspondent of the Country Geatlemqa
pithily says;
Some way or other agriculture seems in
complete without flock of sheep. They are
essential to the thick set longevity Of the old
grass land, and all the world over and in old
en- times they We're esteemed AS most import
ant, and in the most improved agricultural
country. viz, England, they are cherished by
every farmer, from the highest to the lowest
The wool Is one Of the incomes which cannot
be dispensed with and the flocks are so man
aged that the tegs cut heavier and more valu-
able fieeces than older sheep; in fact, teg
feeces in England not only weigh thirty per
cent. heavier than those OF the ewes but make
ten or more per cent. higher prices. If any
tenant farmer in the regular agricultural dis
tricts OF Englan farmed without sheep he
would soon lose his crops, and nobody would
rent to man who did not practice sheep hus-
baudrv

Nevada Salt.

Nevada is capable of supplying the world
with salt. 1t abounds in salt springs, salt
marshes, salt mountains, and great PLAINS
where the evaporation of ages has lett depos-
its Of salt of almost illimitabe extent. For
mining purposes, the salt of these deposits re-.
qures only 10 be shoveled into sacks and
transported to the place of use. For table
and dairy purposes, however, it IS not quite
equal to eastern salt 1t contains slight per
cent. OF impurity, which would have 10 he re-
moved by re-evaporation or some other rein
ing process TO render il marketable for domes-
tic use. This may not be the case with all
the deposits of this character within the
State, but applies to such Of them as have
been worked. Within fifty miles of Rene,
and not more than one mile from the railroad
are some of the finest salt springs in the
world, One gallon of water will cvapcrate
three pounds OF the best quality of salt.

The Lire Stock Journal contains the follow
ing:
Now that sheep are again attracting atten-
ton, the advocates for the different breeds
are waxing warm. When either one confines
himself to setting forth the merits OF pc
cuilar variety, he generally does overrate the
good points OF his tavorite, but when he In
stltutes comparison with view ~ prove that
under all circumstances particular breed Is
better than all others he seems to US to 90
wide of the truth. We believe there are few
localities In this country where improved
stock of this class can be grown at all, in
which either of the better breeds IN the hands
Of a thorough shepherd, would not for Sc
RES of years prove reasonably remunerative
At the same time we entertain little doubt
that some varieties would, under certain con
dltiOns of soil, climate and accessibility to
markets, prove more profitable than others.
1t seems highly probable that both mutton
and wool can be grown on the great central
plans of the L. > III open competition with
the production OF South America, Australia,
or elsewhere, and at the same time there is no
more reason to suppose that sheep husbandry
In the older states will thus be rendered un-
profitable, than that the sheep husbandry o
Germany, France or England will be super
seded and become a thing of the past for
the same reason
The Incidental benefits of sheep raising to
general agriculture are such as to insure the
continuance of that branch of live stock hus.
bandry, and, as sells are more and more heav-
lily taxed in the production of annual crops,
