Forsaken Lambs.

An episode in sheep raising has lately oc-
Cured on my farm which may prove interest
ING to some Uf The readers Of your Agricultural
Department.
Itisa A wel-known occurrence for ewes TO
abandon their young immediately after birth
had always ascribed this to lack OF natural
maternal affection, but atn now inclined to
attribute it to a physical defect which may 10
some cases be remedied, as think the follow
ing narrative proves:
found early in the morning pair OF twin
lambs, evIdeutly dropped within few hourS'
crying piteously, with DO ewe near them. All
ter finding the mother confined her in shed
with the lambs, but she persistently refused to
take any notice of them. and though held by
lorce, il seemed impossible for the lambs TO
draw any sus,enauce from her. kept them
together all day, feeding The lambs WITH a
spoon, hoping they might eventually succeed
in obtaining rourishment from legitimate
source. At sundown, seeing no indications OF
any improvement 10 the STAKE oi a"A''S' !
caught a vigorous lamb Of month old and

cemplished what the feeble strength OF the I'ny
lambs failed in doing In less than two nit

Spelling Horses Feet.

1t is almost impossible to get a horse shod
without having the frog cut away. All yeter-

pliable aud soft the frog is, cutit away smooth

hard as a chip You might as well cut al the
leaves of trees aud expect them to flourish as
to pare away tic frog aud have a healthy foot.
The rough spougy part Of tic frog is to tbe
foot what leaves are to the tree-the lungs
Never have a red-hot shoe put upon the foot

in shoeiug horses. but these two are Of more
importance than all the rest, level TO the ap-
preheusion Of men not skilled in horses, and

Sheep as Renovators.

A secesh soldier, while fighting
under.Stonewall Jackson, in Vir-
ginia, saw the benefit of sheep rails
ing to revive worn out land. I'M
poverished in the fight for slavery,
he began with only ten eve sheep,
which he rut in a smell field near
his house, that was full of briers,
weeds and the grass in fence cor
ners He gave them daily a little
meal or bran, sailed them often. and
sheltered them in the winter, when
they had swamp hay and a few
roots. In the spring he had thirteen
fine lambs, worth more than he gave
for the ewes, and he said the wool
and the manure was worth more
than the cost of the food. He plow-
ed and planted the field to corn, and
got over thirty bushels to the acre,
while around the shed the yield was
much larger. He now keeps sheep,
and grows. without the aid of guano
or phosphate, fine crops of clover, corn,
wheat and turnips.- Correspondence

When I got home last night, said

for me. ] knew there was some
thing in soak. There always is
when she sits propped up in bed
reading, and l know it.
/ wasn't feeling pretty good, said
Squills, for [ had been whitewashed

board yard he cat with his back hair
curled the wrong side up.
Have you got the nomination
Squills, dear"
knew she had seen the evening
paper, but L said "No, love-" as
mildly as if conventions and all
such snares were beneath my notice.
"NOt got the nomination, Mr..
Squills ?"
"No, Mrs. Squills, not that the
court is aware of at this present
writing. Certainly not"
"Then what do you expect to get
for all the whisky you've been pour
ing down those fellows threats ?"
What fellows Threats"
"Your friends who have been
tramping in and out of my house,
MI. Squills, and borrowing your
poor children's money, and running
YOU into all kinds of disreputable
places to hunt up votes, and sneak
ing you off into the country to barr
becues and other infamous resorts,
paying for buggies, and making ri
diculous remarks which | know you
paid the reporters to work up into a
speech. A nice thing you have
done for yourself and me and the
poor children, and then, after all,
not to get anything for your pains.
Pm ashamed of you, Mr.. Squills.
If I could afford a blush for so
wretched a being, Squills, l would
blush for you, but L can't, and,
what's more, L won't. Don't tell
me, Squills, that you don't want
me to blush for you, and you sitting
there just as mad Is a hatfull of
hornets. After you telling me, too,
and the dear child, that she should
have a new silk when you got the
nomination. A nice nomination
you've got, and those fellows who
took your money and your whisky
just laughing at you and thinking
what a fool you are for believing
them. That's what hurts me in the
tenderest point, Squills."
"About this time" said Squills,
~ put out the light, tumbled into
bed, and prepared to go to sleep, but
