We publish this week House
Bill No. SO, to prevent the
reading of the Bible in our
public schools, for which Mr..
Soule, who is now the Demo.
cratic candidate for Represent
ative from this county voted.
The bill is entitled, "a bill to
prevent tie teaching OF secta
rlan religious doctrines in the
common schools of this State"
but We submit the whole bill
from an official copy, and de-
nounce its title as a fraud,
and the bill itself as contrary
to the genius of our institutions
and the spirit of the age. We
appeal to our people to repu>
diate this vote of Mr.. Soule. Is
it not monstrous that at this
age of the world and in this
great State of Ohio, such a bill
should be introduced into our
Legislature and that Vinton
county should be found through
its Representative, voting for
it. Mr.. Soule may be ever so
clever a man (; he is a clever
man-one We are always glad
TO meet, but we submit to our
people, that at this juncture,
when this party, which denies
the existence of God and Reve
lation is seeking to control the
Ic gislation of this State, it is
dangerous for us to add 10 their
number by returning Mr.. Soule
to the Legislature. We do not
know nor care what may be
Alr. SOule's religious belief. II
Is sufficient lor US to know that
he has voted for this bill which
is anti Republican, anti Demo.
cratic, anti-ChriStian; for while
it permits the reading or teach.

it Furnishes by a fine of from
one Hundred to one thousand
dollars the reading of the Bible,

FERTILIZERS FOR GRAss.-A recen
visitor at the Experimental Farm OF Mr.
j. B. Lawes, Rothamstead, England
gives the following summary of the conclu
sions derived from trials conducted du
ring the past sixteen years on Is plots O
grass of half an acre each:
The results are, that the unmanureC
land has averaged % "a cwt. of hay pei
acre, that superphosphate OF lime IS al
most useless onrgrass unless ammonia Is
supplied, that ulphate of potash, soda
&c encourage the growth of clover bu
but do not greatly increase the bulk o
tho crop, but that ammonia salts and nj
trate of soda act most powerfully, an(
are the real manures for grass crops
Ammonia, however, destroys the clover
and encourages the coarse grasses thu
crop where the greatest quantity off ammo
MIA was sown producing nearly all cocks
foot grass. The ammoniacal salts pro
duced an average of three tons Of hay pei
acre.
A valuable discovery in connection
with the application of nitrate of soda
(also a great fertilizer of grass, from it
rapidly supplying nitrogen) is that by
repeating heavy doses yearly, washes
into the soil and fertilizes it to a grea
depth, affected by drouth, and produce 6
heavier crop in dry season. Thus, IL
1870, nitrates produced nearly three tons
per acre, while other manures had com
paritively very slight effect. Indeed il
dry season the cause of top dressings
failing is that they encourage the growth
of surface roots, which cannot endure 6
long drowth.

SHEARlNG SHEEP.-After remarklng
that strengthening can be learned only by
careful practice, the Western Rural says,
il we were asked to give instructions to a
new beginner, in as few words as possible,
it would be about as follows: Have only
good shears, and keep them always in
good order. Handle your sheep quietly
placing it in no uncomfortable positions,
as it will very rarely struggle unless
cramped or panied by awkward handling
Open the fleece on the side of either the
belly or neck, as may become handiest
after few days practice. We prefer
the neck. Leave the back and upper
part of the sides to be sheared last
Handle your sheep so that if it struggles
it will interfere as little as possible with
the fleece, which should always come oh
without breaking. Keep the shears flat,
and cut slow enough to see where they
are running and leave no ground to be
gone over the second time. Don't get
nervous and hurried, but do your work
only so fast as you can do it well. Speed
is of secondary importance, and should
never be sought at the expense of thor
Dug workmanship. If at work with
others, never let 60 your sheep till 1T IS
well out of the barn, as 1t will most likely
make restless every other sheep on
the floor. Have patience, show mercy,
and use common sense, and IN little
while all the accomplishments of first
class sheep shearer will be at your COM
mand, and this is no mean distinction.

A Few SHEEP ON THE FARM.-The
relative profit is much greater from a
small flock than a large one. The grain
farmer, no matter how few his acres, can
make money by keeping few sheep.
There is always room for them some
where, and they consume and turn into
money food that otherwise would waste.
| But he must be careful not to overstock.
To illustrate, suppose the farmer cult
Yates only eighty acres, raising grain
| chiefly. He keeps few COWS and the
necessary teams. One fifth of his farm
is in pasture, one fifth meadow one plan
ted, one spring grain and one wheat.
He thinks he has as much stock as he can
proftably keep, but if he puts on one
sheep to every five acres, he will find
their products clear gain. In the spring,
early, they can run on the sod which, TO
be planted and one sheep to each acre will
not hurt the land, yet they will live we'll,
After that they can 60 into the pasture
and will'glean after the cows to advan-
tage. A run on the stubbles after har-
vest will not be felt where each sheep has
two acres, and in the fall there is plenty
of feed. Through the winter they can be
well kept on what the other stock would
not consume, with the addition of little
grain. Probably the most profitable are
some of the coarse wooded mutton breed
Their lambs sell to the butchers for high
prices, and when fat the sheep fetch as
much as a yearling steer. Sixteen nut
ton sheep well managed would produce a
yearly income Of one hundred dollars
where if none were kept, nothing would
be realized. The greatest drawback is
liability to lose by dogs, and it is dis
grace to any State to protect its ours Sc
well that they expel, to certain extent
the only animal which can cheaper the
meat and clothing of the peopie.-Ver

ToADs IN THE GARDEN.-In recent
lecture on Insect Enemies, before the
Vineland Ayr. and Hort. Society, N. j.,
by Mr.. Treat, he thus alludes to the use
fitness of toads Garry all the toads
you may find to your garden. They will
devour immense number of bugs A TOAD
will swallow the largest specimen of the
tomato worm, though sometimes he will
have hard time of it. Snakes, hens
wasps, are all devourers Of like pests. A
common duck will 60 up and down the
rows of tomato and potato vines, and pick
off the large worms usually found thereon,
as fast as it sees them, and they will see a
half dozen where man would not see one
Young turkeys will do the same service
though they are moi so easily controlled
and guided. All fallen fruit should be
picked up twice day-at any rate once
boiled, and then given to cattle or hogs
By doing this, it will pay ten times over,
and the results Oft will be that next year
you will not have insects
