va-ns and prsat Of Sheep.

In nil southern localities, our southern
farmers and planters should keep as
large flocks OF sheep as possible. for the
following reasons:
l. They are very profitable both for
wool and mutton.
>. They speedily enrich the land over
which they range.
Q. Their number increases with great
rapidity when properly cared for and
protected, and they will thus make the
owner rich in few years.
8. A German agriculturalist has cal
culated that the droppings from one
thousand sheep during q single night,
would manure an acre of ground sniff
cient for any crop. By using cheap
portable fences, and moving the same
from place to place. farmer may ma
nure his out Lying fields with sheep, at
a less cost than the hauling and spread>
ing of the ordinary manure.
4. A great deal of the most valuable
manure may also be made by a cheap
and easy system of night-folding on
well.littered yards and in sheds, which
should always be erected on the range
to protect the flock against sudden and
severe changes in the weather.

Keeping Poultry in Orchards.

This is a matter that should be prao-
ticed when possible. We believe that
if farmers and fruit-raisers knew the
benefits arising from such management
they would at once adopt it. Last fall
we visited an orchard in which fouls
were kept, the owner OF which told us
that before the fouls were confined in 70
the trees made little or no growth, and
only a corresponding amount OF fruit
was obtained. But what change was
evident now. The grass was kept down.
the weeds killed, and the trees present
cd an appearance of thrift which tho
most enthusiastic horticultgrist could
not but admire and envy. The growth
of the trees was not vigorous, and the
foliage remarkably luxnriant. The
fruit was abundant, OF large size. and
free from worm and other imperfectiona.
This excellence was accounted for by
the proprietor, who remarked that tho
sshens ate all the worms and cnrculio in
their reach, even the canker-worm." 4"
He found less trouble with their roost>
ing in trees than he expected, and that
a picket fence six feet high kept them
within bounds. His orchard was divi-,
ded into three sections, and the fouls
we're changed from one to another, as
the condition of the fouls or the orchard
section seemed to require.

Gen. Lees Advice.

have heard General Lee relate the
following incident: At dinner party
given by General Taylor shortly after
his accession to the Presidency, Gener-
al (then Captain) Lee chanced to be on
the right side of Mrs. Bliss (Gen. Tay-
lor's daughter) at the table. They were
discussing army life, the separations it
entailed, how hard it often was for al
officers wife to know what to do,
whether to follow her husband or stay
with her mother. "Of course, Captain
Lee," said Mrs. Bliss, like all men,
You think woman should leave all and
cling to her husband" "Not so, mad
am" said he, "my advice is, stay as
long as you can under your
mothers wing. You can never have
more than one mother, but pretty wo-
man can talways supply husbands
loss" Years afterwards he was again at
the right arm of Mrs. Bliss at dinner
party, but Col. Bliss had died in the
meantime; his widow had married
again. and of course bore different
name; and Captain had become Colonel
Lee. After discussing several subjects
she laughing!y said: Colonel, do you
remember piece of advice you once
gave me?' "Indeed I do, madam. 1t
has been in my thoughts all day, but l
would have never dared to remind yon
of it. You followed the advice l see.

Not an Unlikely Story.

Years ago, Lord Lyons, then the
English Minister, imported coachman.
He was a first-class man and it was not
long before he was we'll known. Soon
afterward he began trading horses and
made great deal of money. Follow
ing that, he went into the grocery busi>
ness in what is known as the old First
Ward" of Washington and accumulated
more money. He married and son
came to his family. When the father
died he left plenty of money, which his
son inherited, succeeding him in the
grocery business. The son was too
proud, however, to stick to it, and he
gave it up and invested his money in
other ways. About the time the Eng
lish coachman came here, French
cook, direct from France, arrived here
and secured employment with the
French Minister. He also was married
and had three or four daughters. Like
the coachman, he amassed great deal
of money and increased it by fortunate
real estate speculations. He owned
several squares of property in the
neighborhood, since bought up by
Hallet Kilbonrne's real estate pool.
The son of tho eoachman married the
daughter OF the cook, and they are to-
day the leaders Of Washington society.

Uncle Remus on Educ alton.

As Uncle Remus came up Whitehall

boy carrying a slate and number of
books. Some words passed between
them, but their exact purport will prob.

cows is mixture of hay, meal and
bran; and the most economical way OF
feeding these, is TO crt the hay, mois>

pays. From our own practice, we be-

Love Your Wives.

Husbands, love your wives. Nothing
brighters true woman's life like love.
She will do anything, suffer anything,
for the sake of husband who truly and
tenderly loves her, and whose heart is
one with hers. When such love ends,
widowhood begins: The woman who
has husband who is not wholly hers.
mourns the loss of her companion, and
endures the presence of mummy
But where coningal fidelity and affec-
tion exist; poverty, privation and toll,
are welcomed gladly for the JOY of love.
But this love must be more than mere
work; it must be in heart, in life. in
truth. 1t must endure as we'll ns de-
mand. 1t mast be self-denying as well
as self desiring. Love beareth all
things and never faileth.
And when, in her weakness, wear-
ness, and sorrow, o woman can feel that
she does receive from her husband such
a self-denying love as this, when his
strength bears with her weakness, and
patience with her petulance, and when
his calm courage soothes her frights
and fears. what gratitude swells up
within her heart.
Woman seeks in husband truth,
and nobleness, and nprightness. She
loves manliness and spotless purity.
And if a man will show his manhood in
HE daily life, he will find blessing in
his heart and in his home such as
tongue cannot describe.
Wives need love. Their hearts yearn
for it as much rs in the days of girl
good, when life itself was love. They
often pass their womanhood in anxious
cares and wearing labors. In the an
gush of maternity they enter upon
new spheres of existance, whose only
life is love. Whether woman's course
is to be sadness or joy. sunshine or
gloom depends upon love. All her
cares are borne with patience if love
sweetens her bitter cnp. A long, hard
weary day of toll is amply paid for with
a smile; ole tender loving clasp makes
her forget whole lifetime of care and
conflict, and bless the day she found n
husband with heart so true and hand
so strong. An unexpected favor touch
es her to the soul. A gift in secret,
an appreciating word, pitying, sooth>
ing glance, kindly. sunny smile, a
little self denial to afford her pleasure
or spare her pain, all these are as snn-
beams of gladness to the heart of the
true and toiling wife.
Her husband and her children ar:
her treasurers. She lives if they stand
fast. She is proud of their honor and
Joyous in their prosperity. And every
token of their care and love for her in
sickness or in health is laid up as n
che,ished m mory, a kindness which
she cannot forget, and which she Is
only too happy to repay.
Ha-C.sntio, iv<<. y=s.s- -siveo. u harsh
word from you is worse than poisoned
arrow from an outside foe. Your sneer
turns life to bane and blackness, while
Your smile alone brings sunshine to her
soul. One selfish meanness in you, one
contemplate thing robs you of your
crown and honor, and leaves her to be-
wall her loss.

and can feel sure of keeping his stock
well all the time, whether there comes
a season of drought or not. Partial
soiling will enable one to increase his
stock, if, in his Judgment, the condi-
ton of the markets appears favorable to
such increase. Soiling helps to make
farm grow rich, while pasturing tends
to improvement.
We would overstock the pasture in
the spring, and secure NIL the feed that
should be spared, and then, when the
dry weather of midsummer comes on, aa
it does nearly every year, we would take
the cattle to the stables and feed them
there with green crops, till pasture is
fit to turn into again. 1t is poor plan
to let cattle run in pasture 30 poor
and short that they will be forced to
work all day for living. For soiling,
the most valuable crop to cultivate is
sweet corn, grown especially for feed>
ing through July, August and Septem
Der. We have raised the largest varie-
ties, but are not certain but medium
sized corn wonld be quite as sati:facto-
ry.
Oats, spring rye and barley may be
sown for early feeding, before corn be-
comes sufficiently grown, and they may
each be sown in the summer for late
feeding. after the frost has killed
the corn. We have sown nearly two
bushels of corn per acre, but some suc>
cessful farmers believe that half the
quantity would produce crop of equal
value. If sown too quickly the lower
parts of the stocks are bare of leaves.
and the whole is qnite apt to be blown
down by heavy winds.
Winter rye is one of the most useful
soiling crops. as it comes so early in the
spring and grows between the seasous
for other crops, thus requiring no chars
ges for land or time, but you cannot
have that every year.

Gun Accidents.

Guns should always be carried at the

the trigger nor pull on the trigger
will bring the foi mer into action. There
ia no necessity whatever for gun to be
otherwise than at the half cock, unless
game is Immediately in front; and.
furthur, it may not be ont of place to
add, that it is dangerous when shoot
ing in company, for the gun to be
swuly roull in taking aim with the
finger on the trigger. The eye should
follow the line of fight, and the gun be
raised at the proper moment. Accidents
from guns bursting are rare, bnt caution
is very necessary in getting over fences
to see that no earth gets lodged in the

does not get blocked up by snow drop.

by the wonderful velocity of the ex-

at the mnzzle of the gun causes such a
sudden increased pressure on its sides
