Raising Sheep and Dogs.

1t is very generally confessed that both
sheep and dog raising in the same neigh
borhood is not profitable, and cannot be
successfully done. Dog-raising requires
no skill, no capital, but little home food.
The Farm and Firesiae says: A compare.
lively recent investigation shows that there
are over 100000 dogs in Georgia, which
annually destroy nearly 10000 sheep, val
ued at $4,000. At this time there were
only thirty-one dogs to every sheep
1t is estimated that while only six per
cent. are destroyed by disease, fifteen per
cent. are annually killed by dogs. 1t is
further estimated that the dogs require rs
food, in addition to the 10000 sheep an
amount of food which, if fed to hogs, would
produce bacon enough to afford an annual
supply sufficient to feed 10000 laboring
men. Kansas, though one among the best
adapted States for wool growing, has "a GAO
dogs. And so it is in every State in the
Union. Hardly week passes that we do
not see an account of sheep being killed
by dogs. The aggregate number thus
slaughtered exceeds over 100000 head.
There are in the United States about
100000 sheep and 100000 dogs, or
about one dog to every five persons. 1t is
estimated lnat these uOSs eat enough, ASIDE
from the sheep they kill, to feed and fattcn
100000 hogs, each worth about $l2, or
$60,000,000.
To the average farmer, sheep raising is
more profitable than dog raising, in spite
of the combined opposing influences of
dogs and their allies, political wire work.
ers. In the cotton growing States it has
been demonstrated that it costs no more TO
raise pound of wool than one of cotton,
and the market value of the wool is three
times as great. 1t is estimated that the
annual amount OF wool clipped in the Uni
ted States is valued at $50,0O0,O00 There
must and should be more persistent and
united effort made by wool growers to prop
erly protect their interests. viii they
make the necessary effort

LAYING BY CoRN.-The last working
should be very thorough. Nothing should
be lett to compete with the corn for the
food in the soil. Whatever corn is going
to do, it must do quickly. 1t will soon
tassel and silk, and the development of
the car must follow rapidly. Give it
therefore every opportunity, make the sur
face mellow, that air and moisture may
penetrate; pillow shallow so as not to injure
the roots. The plant must feed rapidly,
and will need every mouth it has.

How TO DRIVE RATS AwAY.-The floor
near the rat hole is covered with II thin
layer of moist caustic potassa. When the
rats walk on this it makes their feet sore
these they lick with their tongues, which
makes their mouth sore, and the result is
that they shun the locality, not alone, but
appear to tell all the rats in the neighbor-
hood about it, aud eventually the house is
entirely abandoned by them, notwith-
standing the houses around are full of
rats.

ANOTHER GARAGE WoRN RrMppv

ANOTHER GARBAGE Worm REMEDY
An old dakey Granger has given us his
remedy for getting rid of cabbage worms,
which is as follows: He gathers II lot of
dog iennel, puts it into a barrel and pours
water over it; let's it stand about "a hours,
and then pours the water ON the cabbage.
which kills or drives the worms away. As
this is a simple remedy it might be well
enough to try it.

Thomas Meehan says the objection
against watering when the sun shines on
plants is purely theoretical one, and APP
pears only in the writings of those who
have had but little actual experience. His
advice is to water whenever the plants
need it.

Farmers Boys.

A writer in one of the magazines says
For farmers, the country wants the most
energetic, through-going and wide awake
boys that can be found. Hence, if boy
is blessed with that browning concomitant
which moves the world-brains-le him
become farmer. Brains constitute the
great desideratum in agricultural science
at the present day. Fifty years ago, mus
Gle was the the essential requisite. Fifty
years ago farmer was expected to perform
every manual labor of the farm by the ex-
ercise of muscular force, while Mt the pres
ent day he needs brains more than muscle
to enable him to manage labor-saving tools
and implements with skill and efficiency.
When the labors of the farm were nearly
all performed by the laborious and fatigu-
ing application of human force, farming
was irksome drudgery. But now, when
teams and steam power respond to the bid
ding OF the tiller of the soil, agriculture is
the most agreeable pursuit one can desire.
True, at some seasons of the year, farmers
are required to labor early and late for sew
eral days. Then, again, perhaps for weeks,
they will have easy times.

HABEAS CORPUS.

Bridget Brady having threatened J. Ma
chado's life was committed to the Parish
Prison by the judge of the Seventh Justice
Court. She applied to Judge Whitaker for a
writ of habeas corpus, on the ground that she
was Illegally imprisoned. The judge decided
as follows:
It is claimed by relator that she is held as
convicted on charge not known to the law.
It is unnecessary to consider any Of the other
grounds set up as emitting her to the benefit
Of the writ. The mittimus sets forth that
Bridget Kelly stands charged before me on
the oath Of J. Machadoo Of having threatened
his life, tried and found guilty" etc.
Judge Whitaker then stated that threaten
ing life is not an offense known to law, but
that probably the magistrate intended to
commit the relator by virtue Of the author
ity conferred upon him by section 1915 Of the
Revised Statutes, though the justice did not
conform to the law as expressed In that sec
ton. The relator must be discharged as to
this commitment but remanded to the Parish
Prison, as there are other commitments
against her

REQUIEsCAT IN PACE.

Judge Arthur E. Adams, formerly law re-
porter of the New Orleans Republican, died
at Dorchester, Mass, on the fifth instant, at
the age of thirty-four years. He was a
graduate of Harvard College, and after leav-
ing the college with honor he settled at Ev-
ansville to practice law, but on account OF
delicate health removed to New Orleans,
thinking to be benefited by the change of
climate. Here he unfortunately engaged in
the reporting business, which proved hurtful
to his enfeebled constitution. When the Re
publican failed he was appointed United
States commissioner by Judge Billings,
which position he filled for some time. About
a month ago Mr.. Adams left this city for
Dorchester, his native place, and his friends,
well knowing that they would never see
him again, babe him sad farewell. Mr.
Adams was one of the best, quickest and
most accurate reporters of the New Orleans
press. May he rest in peace.

CRESCENT ENrAMPMENr.
Installation OF Officers of the knights
of Temperance.

In presence Of large crowd, at their meet
ing room in Odd Fellows Hall, with the i'm
posing ceremonies of the order, were installed
last evening the following officers of Crescent
Encampment: s. M. Eaton, worthy chief; M.
J. Deadly, vice worthy chief; j. P. Harris,
vice chief Otis Harris, chaplain; D. 7. Kerbv,
recorder; Ed Maher, assistant recorder; f.
?. Colquhoun, financial recorder; j. B. Dun
lap, treasurer; VIM. Russell, marshal; j. F.
Seiner, Jr., assistant marshal; H. B. Berthe
lot, sentinel; T. B. Turner, guard.
This organization, which has been in exist
ence since 1869, has been productive of much
good in our midst. This encampmpnt has
been the parent OF others which are also in a
flourishing condition and constantly making
accessiOns to their numbers. Crescent En-
campment, however, being the banner en-
campment of the order, having since the first
of January, 1878, initiated ninety-one men,
bers and now bearing on their rolls 1853 names,
among whom may be found some Of the most
worthy of our citizens.
According to the constitution and bylaws
OF Crescent Encampment parties who are en-
gagged in the sale of liquor are allowed admis-
sion into the organization. 1t only exacts a
personal pledge Of temperance, and thereby
gathers many to it's fold who otherwise
would have to remain outside.

SEVERAL COMPLAINTS
The Mayor was waited upon yesterday by
a citizen, who objects to the erection of bak-
ing oven by Mr.. Rappold, at the corner OF
Baronne and Clio streets, and the construc-
tion of which was permitted by resolution OF
the Council at the last meeting.
Mr.. r. L. Moore also appeared before the
Mayor to complain that fence, extending
nearly the whole length of one side Of PEN
niston street, between st. Charles Avenue
and Carondelet street, occupies such a large
portion of the sidewalk as to make it almost
impossible and absolutely preventing the
construction Of needed plank walk. This
fence has been complained Of several times
already This time the Mayor will give his
personal attention to the matter.
Complaint is also made against Jones Ice
Factory, the smokestack of which is reported
as emitting such q quantity of SCOT as to rem
der it nuisance to the neighbOrhood for sew
eraf SQUARES around. ----
SHE WANTS HER CHILD.
A Mrs. Bennett, residing at Alton, Ill,
writes to the Mayor to have her youthful son,
now confined in our House of Refuge, sent to
her. As there is no money appropriated to
send him home, he will have to remain where
he is until Mrs. Bennett can pay his ex-

GRAND JURY.
The Report on the Insane Asylum, the
WOPkhsuse and The House of Refuge.

The Report on tne Ens2ne AsySuEMs Gh~
WOrkh use, and The House of Refuge.
The grand jury again submitted to Judge
Whitaker the report which they had present
ed on Tuesday, but which they had withdrawn
to make correction in the document. The
report treated Of the City Insane Asylum, the
Workhouse and the Boys House Of Refuge.
The Workhouse is reported to be in very
dangerous condition, the walls being very in
secure.
THE BOYS HOUSE OF REFUGE.
The report states that the building can ac-
commodate larger number OF inmates than
are at present confined there. The number
of boys is 100, two-thirds Of whom are col
Ored. They are not well treated by the keep
ers, who without authority from Superin-
tendent Devereaux, beat and maltreat the
boys many Of whom bear the marks OF ILL
treatment.
THE INSANE ASYLUM.
The Jury remark that the inmates of this
place ought to be transferred to the LOuiSi-
ana Retreat in charge of the Sisters OF Char
ity, who offer to take charge Of the insane for
the space Of five years for forty cents day
They pledge to give these unfortunates the
same treatment which Is bestowed on the in.
| sane now in the Retreat The arrangement, il
acquiesced in, would cost the city ab6ttt
1000, which is nearly double the amount
now discussed for the care and treatment Of
the city insane.
There are many of those demented persons
who are only partially so, and who, II prop.
erly treated, would perhaps soon recover, anc
there are others whom it would be in order tx
keep under supervision.
The grand jury recommend that the city bt
requested to take steps towards asking the
Sisters to take charge of the insane at less
cost than the city now pays.
The patients number 143, under the cOntro
of q superintendent and seven male assist
ants. There is matron whose duty 1t IS tx
take care of the women and to supervise the
laundry. The arrangements for the comfort
of the inmates are wretched, and a change
would be as humane as it is necessary.
