PROFITABLE SHEEP RAISING.-In one of
our exchanges we find the following par
agraph:
mir. Benjamin Hance, of Calvert coun-
ty, Md, from 80 sheep kept on his farm on
Patuxent this year, realized the handsome
sum of s254. so. The lambs, 40 in number,
sold for an average of 81, making $l96.
The old sheep sheared ~ pounds of wool
each, which at 26 cents per pounds made
s5S. So"
This we copy for the encouragement Of
our farmers. Suppose Mr.. Hance had 81
900 sheep, of what a fine revenue he would
be master. He would have an income from
this source of 500, $50. Many Texas far
mers have more than 5000 sheep. Before
the last Legislature met the Star bestowed
unusual care upon sheep husbandry and it's
profits, and its peculiar adaptation to North
Carolina; but after the experiences of last
winter we have had but little to say about
it. When Legislators refuse to protect as
far as possible an important industry, we
are not disposed to waste much time over
the question.
1t is to be hoped that the next Legislature
that which meets January lSSl-will do
something to encourage and foster the rails
ing of sheep.-Wilmington Star.

The BUzzING CoUsINs-How TO CURE
THEIR BITEs.-A wash of fifteen or twenty
drops Of common carbolic acid in half pint
of water will Immediately relieve the smart
of mosquito bites. hives, prickly heat and
all irritations of the skin common to sum-
mer. As the strength of carbolic acid cem.
monty sold varies, the dilutions should be
tested before using by wetting a small spot
OF skin. If it causes any burning in a mo-
ment or so it is too strong. and more water
must be added. The lotion was recon-
mended by a city physician as in use at
Bellevue hospital, and years of experience
prove its benefit. Many restless nights and
suffering Of children might be avoid
ed by this simple cure, which has been
safely used on very young children.
