Mr.. David Williams, of this vicinity,
met with very serious accident on
Monday last, which may result in the
loss of one of his eyes. While trying to
drive nail into hard piece of wood,
he struck it in such manner as to cause
it to fly, point foremost, directly into the
pupil of the left eye, and with such force
as to penetrate the eye, and remain in
it until removed with the fingers. DIR. c.
J. Skinner is treating the case, and thus
far has had remarkable success with it

The Supreme Court of Illinois has
recently made decision to the effect
that sidewalks are the property of city
corporations, and must be built and re-
paired by them, and not by the individ-
uals owning the property on the side of
the street where the sidewalk is built.
Heretofore the property owners have
had to make these improvements at
their own expense. The court decides
that the sidewalks are for the benefit
and convenience Of the public, and
should therefore. as a public benefit, be
built by the public.

Winter Yard for Sheep,

One of the important things in the wiD
ter care of sheep is that the yard where
they are allowed to run shall be abs0-
lutely well Uttered and dry. They never
should be compelled to move about or
stand in yards that are cover With
muddy litter, much less the actual mud
itself. 1t is sometimes dltficult il the
West, With our changeable winters, with
alternate freezing and thswing, to keep
the yard in proper cond ton without
using a large amount OF litter.
1t should, however, be done at any
cost of material, and when ono there is
q sufficient layer of straw in the litter,
the subsequent quantity will be found
TO be but little. Since on most Western
farms there is always much straw that
mist go waste, and since also the litter
and dripppipgs make mos. valuable ma
pure it will be found to be economy 10
the end, from this point of view.
Besides this, the clean outdoor bed
to stand on in wet weather, aud the clean
and warm one in cold weather, will SO
promote their well-being, and couse-
quently health, as to prevent the occur
renee OF those diseases incident to sheep
that must be subject more or less to wet,
and at certain season Of The year spongy
pasture.
Muddy yards prevent sheep. and in
deed all animals, from moving ebout
and taking the exercise absolutely nee
essary to comfort and health. The alb
solute dryness of the yards is especially
necessary to the long-wooled sheep,
since they are especially susceptible to
foot rot. fouls, and the other diseases To-
cident to mud and uncleanly care.
Ii q little straw be scattered over the
yard at proper intervals after the frat
good coating is giving in the autumn,
the sheep will pick a little of the better
portions, and be all the better for what
they tread under Northwestern Rural.
