SHEEP AND WORKOUT FARMS.

AT Farmers Club, at Morrisville, Vt,
Mr.. r. G. Hill, in an address upon Cots
void Sheep and their value. said:
The one great trouble in stocking the
country with sheep, and supplying the de-
man6 both for wool and mutton, is the
fear among many farmers of paying too
much for them, though it is plain enough
to be seen they are u great Improvement
over our common sheep; so they go on
raising inferior stock in which there is no
profit all their lives, because they fear to
run little risk. Their children are led to
think farming hard, Improbable bust
ness, and leave, the first opportunity
Now let the farmer commence with Il
few of these sheep, and have his child
len share in the care and profit of them
they will soon feel an interest, and
no longer think farming Improbable.
There is no employment on the farm so
remanerative and SO attractive for children
as the care OF lambs. The. importance OF
improving old, WORKOUT pastures is APP
parent to every farmer There is no way
this can be done SO easy as in keeping
sheep; it will take but few years to
double its value.
6 The Cotswolds are just the kind to I'M
prove springy, swaley pastures. They
will thrive on rank, coarse feed, bringing
in the white clover and are the best stock
that can be kept for the pasture, bnt Tor
keeping up the supply of hay they are
generally supposed to be inferior to other
stock. Now the improvement OF our now
ings as well as our pasture should be con-
sidered. No farmer can succeed unless
he can keep up his hay crop, and it is of
great importance that he should ascertain
the best kind of stock for doing this Hay
ing myself commenced farming on hard.
WORKOUT farm that would not Weld one
half ton to the acre, no one has studied
this subject more closely than have, al
though some have succeeded better. For
twenty years have MIXED from twenty
to forty cows. For about fifteen years
have kept from fifty TO one hundred,
Knowing that it was general considered
that sheep were not equal 10 c.vs to keep
up the moving l determined to satisfy
myself which was best.
Some ten years since commenced
feeding the hay on IA small farm exclu-
sively to sheep. This lot WAS in fair con-
dition, Yielding about one ton per acre.
let the sheep have the stable. spread the
manure on the grass, going over one-half
of it each year. The grass continued to
increase until it yielded not less than three
tons to the acre. The manure from this
yield gave it heavy dressing. For q year
or two the grass has not been as heavy !;
the ground appears to be burnt with
manure. Last spring plowed a part of
it to re-seed and sowed it with wheat, it
grew very rank, but the weeds grew rank
er-such weeds as grow on very rich
ground. This land had been dressed with
clean manure from the stable, and the
grass had been free from weeds. There
had been no manure put on previous to
blowing. That such weeds should grow
on sward well turned shows the ground
to be very rich.

Ii has been one Of the great boasts Of Eng
lish people abroad, that the immense changes
which have taken place during the last few
years have not affected either the form OF
our Government, the position Of the Empire,
or the happiness and general welfare Of the
people. We have put down a tremendous
rebellion in India, we have seen still greater
one crushed on the American Continent.
We have seen new and regensrate nation
formed IN Italy, the rise Of a great Empire
in Germany, and the humiliation and fal! OF
anothe. close to or doors. Revolutions and
wars have coavulsed almost half the globe,
and we, meanwhile, have looked calmly on,
pluming ourselves on the stability Of our
commerce, the growth Of Cur manufactures,
AID the maintenance Of our prestige at home
and abroad, while attr.but.n2 the satisfactory

our system OF Government, and the incalcu-

Lnsses isl The T7ranco-JsrU5sian
war.

Tie official report Of the losses sustained
by tho German army ia the 'short, sharp,
and decisive" conflict with France shows
that the great victories were not won without
fearful loss Of human life. There were 1877
sG7 German soldiers Killed and wounded in
battle, Of whom 5,lGG were officers, IS SIR
geous, l2,2Q3 5ub-odicers, and ll0,435 COM
mon soldiers, The Third prrs7ian Corps,
which went into tie campaign s.. 3l2 strong,
lost 433 officers and ii ,4l0 men, or nearly "a
per cent. Of the whole. The losses of the
First Bayacian Corps were scarcely less, be-
ing 80 per cent. OF the whole. In every great
battle there arc a few regiments whose losses
are out Of all proportion to the rest. All Re-
zOnville, for instance, the Third prussian
Corps lost 800 officers and 5000 men. The
Royal Guard, some forty thousand strong at
the beginning Of the war, on the 18th Of Au-
gust, 1871, attacked the village Of Saint Pri-
vat, which was defended by the Sixth French
Corps, under Marshal Canrobcrt, and lost
nearly 5000 men in the assault.
In all wars tho heavy losses fall on the in
fantry. In the first two years Of our great
struggle the Infantry soldiers used to lay
wagers with the cayalrymcn that they
couldn't find the grave Of mounted soldier
who had been killed in action. Before the
war was over, however, the graves of caval-

Of the total Prussian losses (I2T, 867, y 4,4j8
officers, and IL, 029 men belonged to the in
fantry, the same being little over III per
cent. of the whole nambcr Of that arm en-.
gagged. The cavalry lost 30 officers and
4,342 men, about G. per cent. Of the whole
mounted corps. The artillery lost 422 off,

the whole number Of artillerymen who took
Part in the war. Seventeen thousand five
hundred and seventy men I7,570) died on
the battlefield, and lo,7O7 died in hospitals
from wounds received in action. The num-
Der killed in each engagement was generally
about one-sixth Of the number wounded, but
ia some battles there was one killed for every
four wounded.
1t Is vastly more pegilous to DC an officer
than private soldier. Of the German Gen
