the State, such taxes as are due the
counties on land sold for taxes and

A Few Sheen on the Farm.

The relative profit is much greater
from q small flock than . large one.
The grain farmer, no matter how few
his acres, can make money by keeping
q few sheep. There Is always room fol-
them somewhere, aud they consume
and turn into money food that would
otherwise waste. But he must be care
full not to overstock. To illustrate,
suppose the farmer cultivate only eighty
acres, raising grain chiefly. He keeps
q few COW and necessary teams. One
fifth of his farm is in pasture, one fifth
meadow; one planted, one spring grain
and one wheat. He thinks he has a.
much stock as he can profitably keep,
but il he put on one sheep to every five
acres, he will find their products clear
gain. In the spring, carly, they can
run ON the sod which II to be planted,
and one sheep to each aero will not
hurt the land, yet they will live well
After that they can 60 into the pasture
and will CLEAN after cows to an advan-
tase. 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 we'll kept on what the
other stock would not consume, with
the addition Of . little grain. Probably
the most profitable are some OF the
coarser woOlled, mutton breeds. Their
lambs sell to the butchers for highest
prices, and when fat the sheep fetch "a
much IS . yearling steer. Sixteen
mutton sheep, well managed, would
produce yearly income OF one hum

nothing is realized. The sreatest draw

Wealth of the United States.

1t is satisfactory to find out that some
thing still remaips to this country be-
sides death and taxes. The returns of
the census of 1870 made the total value
of real and personal estate in the
United States, exclusive of the posses
sions of the General Government,
amount to $50, O6S, sis, ,5O7. If this esti-
mate be accepted as correct, it shows
that, notwithstanding the war, there
has been q remarkable increase in the
wealth of the nation since 1860, when
the entire valuation was placed at $16-
159, 9,616,O68. But from remarks of Gen.
Walker, the Superintendent of the
Census, which are prefixed to the sta
tistics of wealth and public indebt-
edness, it becomes evident that this es-
timated valuation must be far from &C
curate, although no pains have proba-
bly, been spared to render the returns
as complete and precise as possible.

BE Yourself, and DO Your Own Work

There is a place for every man, and
the way for every man to find that out
is To he himself and nobody else as he
used - hc himself when he was sin

become a saint, and follow out, under
Gods guidance, the movements of his

of his own nature. Tush about plan

the POINTS God has made in you dis
tinct from other men. Wisdom will
be justified of all her children. y
If we loved Christ better, every man
would invent something; he would
have mode of action growing out of his
own peculiar capacities; he would feel
that God meant to meet case by him
that would never be met by anybody
else. Follow out, as God the
Holy Spirit shall help you, the prompt
ings of the divine life that God has put
