BREEDING SHEEP.

BREEDING SHEEP.
Farmers who keep fiocks of
sheep, should not dispose of them
hastily, in view of the low prices
they bring. and the -cheapness of
wool, as We are not always to have
such times as exist at present
Probably In two or three years the
prices will advance so per cent.
from the fact that large portion
of wool growers will either go
out of the business, or greatly re-
duce their fiocks, no matter how
much they are advised to "hoid
On" In some cases it will be
well to get rid CT your poorest
sheep, and thus reduce your flocks
somewhat; but my advise is to re-
duce your flocks as little as you
can, and make them pay expenses
of keeping till prices go up. Dur
ing the last 80 years, there have
been a half a dozen Gibbs in the
prices of sheep and wool, and
yet those breeders who "held on"
came out all right. What you
need most is good breeding rams !;
and I annex what an old sheep
raiser says: s'The best bred, and
best formed Merino rams may
now be had for $50 to $1OG, and
the long woods or Downs are quite
as cheap; and when we reflect that
we may have so to 100 lambs from
a single sire, what a waste OF
money it is to use an inferior, fiat
sided and light-feeced ram, be-
cause he can be had for $40 tc
; SIS! The defects of a bad sire
used for a single season, will be
visible in a flock for many
generations, so that the injury
done cannot be estimated; anC
the services of such an ANNA
, will never be accepted by an in
: telligent breeder, if rendered as I
gratuitv.
The selection of the breedin,
/ ram, where mutton is produced
$ must be from the long woods, o
! the Downs. If we make choic
from the former, we must be care
full that we have an animal of stou
: and robust constitution. Thes
= sheep have been SO generally
: forced with artificial food, tina
y many of them lack the hardines
!. req uired for the farmers purposes
q What we must have, is a straigh
il round barrel, on short legs. wit
y short, stout neck, and vigorouI
masculine appearance about tt
If head. The body should be we
ID covered with a long and lustror
:. staple, of uniform quality. If IL
~ selection be of South-down breet
81 we should have the same generi
id form as here described, but v
ought to have more compact an

A. more weight for bulk, than in til

The Failures.

At each recurring appe arence OF
the quarterly circulars of Dun,
Barlow & Co., with their unifor-
ly depressing schedule of failures
and liabilities, we look with calm
confidence for the reappearence of
the unlform comments from the
Intelligent press, the Intelligent
press having agreed upon the two
following points, viz; that the ap-
palling record is, first, a crafty
ing evidence that the weak firms
are being weeded out; and, second,
that we have finally touched bot
tom, and may confidently expect
revival OF prosperity, say about
the beginning of next week.
This intelligent appreciation OF
the business situation has contln-
ued to satisfy the editors for near
| ly three years, and we would gent
| tly urge that it is getting mo-
notonous. It is quite probable
that we have touched bottom-it is
I very possible that we touched
bottom some time ago-bnt II
we could give united expression
to our experince Of this long con-
tlnuance In the nethermose depths,
we should probably all agree that
/ the bottom was a 'dcm'd moist
/ unpleasant place to keep touch
|. ing, and that it would be very
/ desirable to rise somewhat nearer
I to the top. And as for the weed
ing out of weak firms, we have
now been doing that SO long and
with so marked a lack of success
that really it would be we'll if,
only by way of a change. We
could keep the weak firms alive.
1t begins to be very hard to tel
how many firms are weak, and il
hardly seems to be doubtful tina
by the time we have weeded ou
all the weak ones. they will hav'
had the accidental effect of des
troying all the strong ones.
For our part, we look upon thi
! steady con6lnuace of bahkruptcle
} as a most serious evil, and as
: menance Of more dangerous con
sequences intimately. = Glob

A Committee from lodge in the

that the Grand Lodge of the Indi-
an Territory had suspended said
lodge, because they refused to rec
Ognize the new Grand Lodge, it
not having been recognized by the
Grand Lodge of Kansas to whom
they owed allegiance. The paper
was referred to the Committee on

Mr.. BrockWay read very lengthy
report on the claims of the social
ed colored lodges to be recognized.
The paper gave history of the So
called African Grand Lodges, and
showed cOuclusivelY that their or

not touch the question of color, as
Masonry knows no color or race,
holding that every subordinate
lodge is the absolute judge of the
qualifications of the candidates for
admission to the privileges of the

cEMENT1NG CELLARS.

Any cellar can be made perfect
ly dry if cemented before any
wood work is put up in it to inter
fere with proper application of
the cement. Ccments are of
different strength; the Rosendale,
and other similar kinds, must not
have more sand than cement to be
safe; that is. half sand and half
cement, to be applied within 80
minutes, or it will "set." and be
much injured by working it over
again. Cellars that are merely
damp, with a little water after
heavy rains, can be made dry with
coat of cement an inch thick.
The walls may require thin coat
foot or two from the ground.
But when the pressure of water is
great and it raises a foot or more
high at times, such a cellar may
be made perfectly dry as follows
Obtain cobble stones about the
size of a goose egg, some larger
and some smaller. Be sure that
you have fresh cement, and have
two or three men at the job, one
all the time mixing cement, SO
that it can be used within 80 min
utes after being mixed. Spread
layer upon the ground about an
inch thick, then quickly set the
stones close together, sinking
them down into the cement, which
must be quite soft, nearly to the
ground; and after you have laid 6
course across your cellar as wide
as you can reach with your arm
pnt the finishing coat upon the
stones covering all; and so go on
till the whole bottom is cemented
1t would do very well to wait til
1.-The whole cellar bottom is laid in
stones before the upper coat is ap
piled; but in that case the finish
ing coat might not adhere 81
strongly 20 the under one. Som
men place the stones directly up
| on the ground and fill in by turn
ing on very thin cement called
"grout." This does very well j
you do it when no heavy rain
occur for a month or two, ant
when the grout has time to harden
But the great difficulty is il
cementing the outside step-wa,
into your cellar. Unless it bav
