Keep the Best.

Millions of sheep could be put
upon cheaper lands, where win.
ter feeding may be almost, if not
quite, dispensed with. Rye pas
ture can be provided; abundance
of cheap hay can be put up; shorts,
bran and screenings can be bought
at the mills for a nominal price.
By timely attention during the
summer and fall to keep the sheep
in condition, and by securing a.
bundance of cheap and proper
food tor winter, the next clip may
be produced at less expense than
usual. 1t is a good plan to sell
out the Improbable ones of the
flock. They can be disposed of
better while fat than when thin.
Keep the best, and keep them in
the best manner, they will pay
you better and more certainly q
the profit than raising of wheat or
even corn and hogs. Freezing
doesn't kill out wool; dry wealth.
er don't dry it up; chinch bugs
do no harm; grasshoppers can not
destroy the crop. 1t is the cheap.
est produce to handle or ship that
the farmer grows.

Dyspepsiafrom Hot Bread.

OySpepSlaIrom HOT Bread.
Gen. Clingham, writing to
the forth Carolina Agricultural
Journal, tells some truths and
offers suggestion about the caus-
es and results Of dyspepsia and
indigestion-with especial ref
erence to hot, doughty bread
which will apply to all parts of
the country. Read, digest and
heed:
at has been said that the fry
ing-pan is the great enemy TO
our people. There can be NO
doubt but that it has slain its
thousands. While travelling in
Europe for eight months, ! saw
nothing but cold bread, nor did
/, while there, see or hear any
thing that tended to induce me
to believe that anybody in Eu-
rope had ever eaten a piece of
hot bread. l invariably, how
ever, found the bread good, and
the people l saw appeared
healthy and robust. Some, as
the English and Germans, were
especially SO.
"With respect to the United
States, the condition of things
may be more strikingly and
pointedly presented by refer
ence toindividual cases. Many
years since, l stopped at the
house of an acquaintance, and
on seeing him, l said: You
are not looking as well as usu-
al No, no. he replied, i have
the dyspepsia powerfully bad
When dinner was ready, there
was an abundant supply of
meats and well-baked corn
bread. There was, also, howev-
er, something called biscuit,
which was in fact rather warm
dough, with much grease in it.
| saw that my host ate this free
ly with his meats. / remarked
that l did not wonder that he
had the dyspepsia, for that ]
could not live a month in this
way. l suggested that if be
would eatwell-baked corn bread,
or better still, light bread, be
would not suffer as he was do
ing. He answered vehemently
that he would ratherdie than to
eat light bread l replied,
This is a free country and you
have a right to die IN this mode
if you choose, and / have no
doubt but that you will soon
de- / then referred to cases in
which l had known people to
die from such practice. My
cool mode of discussing the
question evidently made an i'm
preston on his wife. Next
summer, on meeting him l said,
You are looking much better.
Yes he replied, bursting into
hearty laugh; Il followed your
advice, and took to eating light
bread, and / am as well as / ev-
er was in my life.'
81 am inclined to think that
within ten years, as many per-
sons have died prematurely in
this State from bad cookery as
were slain the late war, Dys-
pepsia is robbed of much of the
credit of its operations. A cer-
tain individual, more remarka-
BILE for the length of his horns
and tail than for his friendship
for humanity, is said always to
catch the hindmost. His agent
acted on this principle. Dis
eases are cowardly things and
avoid attacking robust or Wig
orous constitutions, but when
they find poor devil enfeebled
by dyspepsia acting on the prin-
ciple that when a man is down,
then is the time to gouge him,
they bounce upon the disabled
creature and soon finish him. II
thus happens cholera, consump-
ton or their co-laborers, carry
off the credit that is due to in
digestion"

COMMA AS AN INSTRUMENT OF
FRAUD.
New York Sun.7

New York SUM-
The claims of the United States for
tho return of the 81 SOC, 900 lent to help
out the Centennial Exposition has been
rejected by the United States Circuit
Court at Philadelphia, although there
are abundant funds remaining in the
hands OF the managers with which to
satisfy it. Consequently, unless the de-
cision of the court is revised on appeal,
the 81 500, 900 will be distributed among
the shareholders in the enterprise, and
be just so much taken out of the public
treasury for their benefit. That this
would be the result was fOretOld by the
opponents of the loan at the time it was
proposed, and was Indignantly denied
by its friends. Some of them, at least,
were disingenious in their denial, and
intended that the money should be a gift
and not a loan, as is evident from the
peculiar wording of of the bill appropri-
ating it.
The clause which was relied on to
prtect the interests of the nation, and
which was used to secure votes for the
grant, reads thus:
s'The appropriation hereinbefOre made
shall be paid in full into the Treasury
Of the United States before any divi-
lend, or per centage of the profits shall
be paid to the holders of said stock"
The advocates of the grant protested
to read these words with a. comma
after the the word "dividend" and
persuaded the public that no dividend
Of any kind would be paid to the stock
holders until the loan from the United
States had been first returned. Now,
by their counsel learned in the law,
they have successfully contended that
there is no such comma, and that only
, 'dividend or per centage of the
Drofts'' was intended. Inasmuch as IL
dividend of capital is not a dividend OF
profits, they have got the judge to say
that the stock holders may pocket til.
81 500, 600 as returned capital, and the
United States must lose the whole.
This is not the first time that u COM
ma, or the want of it, has been made O
.ish-hook by which to pull money out
Of the public treasury. A clause in the
tariff act of 1876, by the omission of this
modest sign of punctuation, admitte d
free of duty all kinds of foreign fruits,
when the intention of Congress was
merely to exempt fruits imported for
sake of their seeds. The trick in that
case was universally denounced and
speedily frustrated; but in regard to the
81 500, 900 now in question, the nation
is without Il remedy. The whole trans
action is in keeping with the character
Of city which shelters Addition, d.
vision and Silence Kemble.
