Sheep Husbandry Abroad.

From statistics relative to the produc-
ton Of wool it appears, in round num-
bers, Great Britain and Ireland grow
more wool than the United States, al
though there are more than thirty
States and two of them are larger than
the former countries. In fact it is Sta
ted that the Colony of Australia. so re-.
Gently populated, grows as much wool
as the States, viz. :-130, 600, 900
pounds, while Great Britain and Ireland
produce 60,0o0,000 pounds.
In England a numerous well-fed flock
Of sheep is considered to be essentially
necessary for the we'll doing of every
upland farm and it is generally seen
that those who keep the most sheep and
feed them highly enrich themselves and
their land. How is it so many farmers
in America keep no sheep ?-Ruraz
New Yorker.
The Grange advance., 1873-12-10
Look out for SWiudlers.

We understand that the sharpers are
going for some of our farmers in the
nsighboring counties in Illinois. The
swindlers travel through the country
with samples Of goods, representing
themselves to be runners or agents for
wholesale grocers' stores in Chicago.
They display their samples, offer their
goods at exceedingly low prices, and
take the farmers note for the amount
payable in sixty days The goods never
get around, and the notes are traded off
to innocent third parties, and while the
FARMER is congratulating himself upon
not buying Of middlemen, and wonder
ing why the goods don't come, the note
turns up. 1t is best for farmers and
others to buy only of men they know,
ana especially not to give their note un-
til they have value reoeived.-Dubuoue
Herald.

AGRICULTURAL.
When Should Lambs Come?

When should lambs come ? is a ques-
ton Of considerable Importance to those
who keep sheep. Some are of the opin-
ion that by having them come late,
say in May, you do not lose so many, it
is less trouble, and the sheep shear a
better fleece Of wool No doubt there
is more or less weight in these argu,
ments, but not sufficient, in my estima-
tion, as rule, to outweigh facts on the
other side. I say as a rule for there
are many exceptions.
If a farmer has been absent from
home in Winter, and is obliged to leave
his stock in the charge of boys, or un.
reliable help, or if he has not good feed
to spare them, they had better not be
allowed to come in till the sheep have
good bite of grass, so as to gain some
in flesh, and have milk with which to
supply them. If, on the other hand,
they have good food, (good hay and
some provender;) good faithful tending
and warm quarters, there need be no
trouble in having lambs come in mid
Winter: If you want to raise them
they will get accustomed to eating hay,
and will take fright hold when they
come to the barn the following Winter ;
they will get better growth the first
season by far, and will make larger
sheep; they will be pretty sure to
raise lamb the next season, and will
have a better fleece: while you let
them go to the butcher, they will bring
you the hard cash in July and August,
and your sheep will have better
chance to gain. So 1 say as a rule let
them come earl rly.-C1r. America,,

promised to give the names of the first
three who would write to us. Now,
boys and girls, who do you think wrote
those letters? You want to know their
names because you are sure they are

Well, We can't give their names because
they have not yet written the letters.
We give you another chance let US see

No Man Independent Who Owes Money.

The advantages of the cash system of
business have been shown with peculiar
perspicuity during the monetary crisis
which is still upon U.S. Many men who
were worth hundreds Of thousands of
dollars--and some who were worth mil
lions-only few months ago, now owe
money which is overdue and which they
are unable to pay. When or how they
will be able to pay-if they ever are
the events of the future alone can deter
mine. Some will work and worry
through; others will be engulfed in the
maelstrom of bankruptcy.
These debts may have been in what
was considered perfectly safe ratio to
their property; but this latest experience
shows that scarcely any ratio or amount
OF Indebtedness is perfectly safe and con-
debtor.

mands Of Scripture, is well always to ob-

"6ranger Prices."

Many persons seem to think that the
sole aim Of the Changers is to procure
goods at less price than anybody else,
and charge more for what they have to
sell than anybody ought to pay. We
are sorry that such wrong impression
has found lodgment in the mind of
any one. For it certainly is wrong
No such thing is the object of the order
There may be individual members who
think and try to act in that way. But
we know that such course is wholly
distasteful to the live members who are
looking ahead and earnestly desire to
see their class benefited by means of the
order. We have been in intimate re-
latlons with very many of the leading
spirits in this part of the country, and
we have never had to do with a set of
men who were more honorable and high
minded. more desirous Of living up to
the motto " live and let live" than
they. The mere matter of money get
ting and money saving is the least of
their wishes. They are economical as
all of US ought to be. They desire to
get the highest prices they can for their
produce, which no one can object to-
They seek to buy as cheaply as possible,
as who does not. But they are not by
any means seeking through combination
to overturn the laws of trade or to make
the whole country contribute to their
purses: Neither are they ranging them
selves in hostility to the business men
OF the communities where they trade,
tor the purpose of running or crippling
them. Such a thing is the turthest
from their desires. Their aims are
higher and nobler than this The OBJ
jects Of their association are beyond and
above the mercenary spirit they are
charged with. We trust that all fair
minded men will accord to them, as an
order, better motives than those contain
ed in the approbious epithet, as banded
about by the thoughtless and uniform
ed: Granger's prices. ."-Indiono Gran

Wool In California and New Mexico.

For many years to come, California
and the Territories Of the far West will
form the great wool-producing section
OF the country. In California this in
terest has already acquired great i'm.
portance. This State has now about
9'Ooo.Oo0 head of sheep, which will be
increased by at least 3.O0O,O 900 lambs
the present season.
Inc sheep are sheared twice year,
and with good season the clips might
De expected to average ten pounds per
head: This would make the wool crop
OF California 8o,o00,000 pounds, or
25,000,000 more than the total product
of the United States in 1871. It is e,.
timated that the actual cost Of producing
wool in California is less than ten cents
a pound. California wool comes into
market two months earlier than that Of
Canada and the Atlantic States, and
shrinks less.
AS to New Mexico, it is said chat the
sheep business in portions Of the country
Is In discouraging condition this sea-
son, tor the reason that the fall of snow
and rain during the Fall and Winter
was uncommonly light. For the same
reason, farming is depressed, since the
mountain streams do not afford the usu.

farmers have not planted. Where
streams come out Of the snowy range
water is abundant.-Sacramento Rec.

WO0l.GrOWing in Australia.

Australian sheep husbandry is one of
the many wonders of this wonderful
century. The number of sheep few
years ago was so small, that their prod
uct had no perceptible effect upon the
markets of the world. In 1872 accord
ing to very careful estimates made by
Geo. W. Bond, ESQ.,, of Boston, one Of
the most thorough statisticians in the
country, there was a total export of
182,477, 77,719pounds-of which 173, 1885,
435' pounds went to England, for use
within her borders and on the CONT
nent, and 9,2O1 ,284 pounds came to the
United States. The number Of sheep
in Australia, according to statistics fur
nished to the International Exposition
of 1873, is as follows:
lo09...... .46 26S, ,O93 sheep.
1S79 % ,sS2,24l ,ss2,2z
The population Of Australia in 1872
was less than two millions. By this it
will be seen that Australia produces
nearly thirty sheep to every man, wo-
man or child it contains. The United
States has something less than three
tourths of one sheep for each inhabi-
tant.

strongly disliked by his little son, Tad.
When MIR. Lincoln was i'll with the

card in and asked for an interview. Tad
was present and heard his father decline
the request, saying he was ill. "Papa," "

One Of the simplest remedies for
what is called scratches, but which is
really incipient grease, is gunpowder
mixed with sufficient glycerine to form
an ointment that will stick when
rubbed ln This is for cracked heels,
winch may or may not run into grease.
"A better remedy, however, when it
can be obtained, is half a pint of animal
giycerine; two drains Of chloride of

OF oak bark. If the animal seem fever.
