For THE BENEFIT OF INMATES OF IN
SANE AsYLUMs.-The House Postal Com
mittee has agreed TO report bill directing
the Postmaster General, whenever requested
by any state, to place post office box in any
insane asylum in said state into which the
inmates may drop their letters, said boxes
not To be under the control or surveillance OF
any OF the officers of the asylum. A strong
appeal was made TO the committee In behalf
OF this measure, and facts were shown that
under arrangements now existing, the
inmates OF insane asylums have no means
OF communication with the outside world
II was also shown that there are a large
number OF persons in the various asylums
of the country that are not absolutely
insane, and are kept there only because
they have No means of communicating
with their friends. A lady named Mrs.
Baker, OF Chicago, stated tnat she had
been kept In asylum for a long
time, when could she have communicated
with her friends she would have been re-
leased. She also stated that there are a large
number of people in the various asylums
who are claimed To be insane on account of
certain religious beliefs, but whose sanity
could not for moment be doubted.

Sheep on a Farm.

Sheen are undervalued by the mass

the fertility of the soil and putting
money into the pockets OF farmers.
The moment one begins to talk of

sheep. One might as wei! look Tor
wheat quotations alone when there ls
talk about the profit OF forming. :,
Sheep on a farm yield both wool and
mutton. They multiply with great
rapidity. They are the best OF fsrm
scaye ngers. cleaning ~ field as no
other class of animals will. They give
back to the farm more in proportion 10
what they thke from it than any otner
animal, and distribute it better win
view TO the future fertility OF the soil.
Prove this? There is no need OF PROOF
TO those who have kept sheep, ana
know their habits and the profits they
Weld. To prove it to those who nave
not the experience, it is necessary they
should try the experiment or accept tne
testimony of an experienced shePhero;;
Bnt the live stock of farm should
not necessarily, be sheep, exclusively.
Cattle, horses, swine, have their re-
spectiye places in the farm economy.
