Some Questions About the
Convention.
Trom Lao New oIIaan. saadny DeIta.

From the New Orleans Sunday Delta.
We have heard that there is
some objection on the part of a
few democrats to convention uf
the party being held on the 22d oil
November. No good reason, how
even has ever been assigned for
such opposition. We would ask
l. What reasonable objection
can any democrat nuke to Che re-
organization of his party when he
knows that it is in state of CON
fusion and disintegration?
2. What objection can he make
to the election Of delegates to
represent Louisiana 10 the Ma
tiUnal Democratic Convention,
which will assemble in Nav next,
when he sees other States taking
this step? =
3. What objection can he have
to obtaining from the party, in
conyention assembled, an express
sion Of opinion as to the course
our Congressaae should pursue
i'll the Louisiana case, which is
now pending before Congress. and
upon which 50 much depends for
successfully carving our State in
the Presidential election
4. What objection can there be
to making i formal protest against
that gigantic swindle, the last CEN
sus, by which Che radicals propose
to defraud the white people of
their legitimate representation?
Until these questions are an,
swered, and a reasonable cause
stated for opposing convention,
which has for its object the con-
sideration of the above measures,
we shall regard as captious and
frivolous the opposition of a few
well-meaning bat ill-advised gen.
tlemen.

PEACHES IN NEW ENGLAND.-This
delicious fruit seems to be growing strong
and healthy again in our latitude. Spec
linens of excellent quality were exhibited
at nearly all the Fairs we visited last fall,
and, so far as we have been able to learn,
the trees have gone through the past Sc
we're winter in good condition. Our own
never looked better than the present
spring. The trees were grown from Sc
lected stones of varieties known to be
healthy and of good quality. They were
set at one year old, on rather dry, poor
land, and with little stable manure, but
with plenty of good leached ashes worked
into the soil. The ground is cultivated,
but no effort is made to obtain n great
growth of wood. We believe this fruit
has been forced too much in years past
in our climate If we will be little more
patient, and not urge the trees too fast,
it is possible we may yet be able to grow
peaches in abundance. We certainly
hope so, for in their season they are un-
surpassed as a luxury for the table-N

THE WAY TO SELECT GOOD WooLED
SHEEP.-The finest and softest wool is
always found on the shoulders ola sheep.
But not one person in ten thousand is
aware of this fact. Let us watch an eX-
pert when he is about to pass judgment
on a sheep concerning the value of the
animal for producing wool and it will be
seen that he always looks at the wool on
the shoulders first. A writer of exteD-
sive experience in rearing fine-wooled
sheep and in handling wool, communi-
Gates the following suggestions for select
ing good wooled sheep;
"Always assuming that the wool to be
inspected is really O fine wool, we first
examine the shoulders at the part where
the finest and best wool is usually found.
This we take as the standard and COM
pare it with the wool from the ribs, the
thigh, the rump, and the shoulder parts,
and the nearer the wool from the various
portions of the animal approach the
standard the better. First we scrutinize
the fineness, and if the result is satisfac-
tory we pronounce the fleece in respect
of fineness very even Next we inquire
into the length of the staple, and if we
find that the wool on the ribs, thigh and
back approximates reasonably..in length
to that Of our standard weagain declare
the sheep, as regards length of staple,
true and even. We next desire to satiS-
fy.ourselves of the density of the fleece,
and if we do this by closing the hand
upon a portion of the rump and of the
loin wool, the fleece at these points be-
ing usually the thinnest and faulty, and
if this again gives satisfaction, we signify
the fact by designating the wool 'even,'
as respects density. Now to summarize
these separate examinations: Ifyou find
the fleece of nearly equal fineness from
the shoulder to the thigh, of nearly equal
length on shoulder, rib, thigh and back,
and density on shoulder and across the
loins, you may conclude that you have
a perfect sheep for producing valuable
wool. Selecting sheep for valuable feed
ers is quite another thing. ."-TTGde Jo1tT-
nal.

The gates on broken hinges

And in and out, through the pOplars,
The moaning breezcs go.

Unchecked the cattle wander,
Through the fences, falling down!
And lonely and sad, in the twilight,
And lone in the mornings glow,

"Ab, mel the land goes fallow,
And idle lies the plow,
Uncut are all the meadows
And the barns arc empty nOwi

No waving wheat on the plain,

Meath the sunshine's golden rain.

Aces of Bees.

The queen passes about three days in
the egg and five in the worm; the work
ers then close her cell, ard she immedi-
ateIy begins to spin her cocoon, which
takes her from twenty to twentyfour
hours. On the tenth and eleventh days,
and Perhaps part Of the twelfth day,
she seems TO be exhausted by her hard
labor. She now remains in almost com
plete repose; she then passes four or five
days as a nympha, and on the fifteenth
or sixteenth day perfect queen is at
tanned. Much depends upon the strength
of the colony and the heat of the season,
which will vary it from one to two days.
The drone passes about three days in
the egg and about six in the worm, and
changes into a perfect insect on the
twenty-fourth day after the egg is laid
Much depends on the strength ard heat
of the colony, which should be about
seventy degrees Fah., for their speedy
development. They lie in a dilatory
state for several days after they hatch,
before taking wing.
The worker bee spins its cocoon in
thirty-six hours. After passing three
days in the egg in this state of prepara-
ton for a new life, it gradually under
goes a great change, and becomesarIned
with a firmer body with scales of n
brownish color and somewhat fringed
with light hairs. On its belly it has six
rings or scales. After it has reached the
twenty-first day of its existence-reckon-
ing from the egg-it comes forth from
the cell a perfect insect, and is termed
an image. This is the simple stage of the
worker bee. As it is fully developed
when it comes forth, except in size, it
soon becomes a sportive inhabitant OF
the air, and ready to enter upon the du-
ties of gaining livelihood, which varies
from six to eight days from its birth, then
all seems to be business the remainder Of
their existence. f. Noon, IN Practical
Farmer.
