Loss or sheep by Dogs.

According to the returns of the
department of agriculture, the di-
rect losses of sheep owners by the
ravages of dogs, reach million Of
dollars annually in wool and NUT.
ton, and the indirect loss in the
repression of sheep husbandry, and
the consequent waste of a large
percentage of the grass crop is still
larger. Reports from 500 counties,
representing about one fourth Of
the sheep of the United States,
show total Of 20, 2S7 sheep killed
during 1874; and even these returns
are not comp lete. In some of the
states the loss in from four to eleven
per cent. of the whole value of the
sheep kept. In this state the loss
is comparatively small, though
larger than it ought to be. This
should not bear against dogs gener-
ally, but only "sheep dogs" tribe
without ancestry, blood, or the
meanest kind of pedigree.

Mr.. Alfred T. Sanford, who was
drowned in Onondaga Lake, N. Y,
a few days ago, had prepared his
first sermon, to be preached on the
day following that which proved to
bring his death. In it occurred
these words, the last of the incOm.
plete work "HOw does a drowning
person rememberf The water has
gurgled in his ears as he leaves the
surface. He feels that it is the last
time. All his powers are strained
in a lingering agony-a desire for
life, a dread of the deep and the
agony seems to tear from the soul
the fleshy bonds that bind it. 1t is
the giant strength of despair, and
the soul looks back with vision
like the ken of the immortals. A
great picture is thrust upon him,
perfect in its uttermost details. He
gazes as he never gazed before.
There it is, all his life, all his deeds
and thoughts, and all at once. And

flutters for a moment; it trembles,

How to Run a Newspaper.

dependence of speech, as distin-
guished from reckless censorious.

Ultimate business and there is only
one sound rule for its conducts, viz,
neither ask nor except as a. favor
from any man those things which
in any other business you would
pay for, nor grant any man a favor
in your paper that which in any
other kind of business he would ex.
pect to pay for. Paper, ink, press
work, composition and editorial la
Dor are not given without pay to
a newspaper. and every man should
be made to pay a newspaper for
whatever benefit in the way of bus
mess he seeks at it's hands. This
seems like hard lines for a poor
press in poor field to pract ice, but
we believe until this philosophy of
the business of journalism obtains
in Vermont, the press will always
be poor and will exercise a cOmpar.

Level Culture.

At the beginning of farm life, In or.
der to learn the most approved
methods, 1 employed a first-class
farmer and gardner, fresh from
England. He persisted In a mode
Of cultivation precisely the reverse

lowing the mangles and sugar beets,
the corn. potatoes, peas, beans, Gu
cumbers, melons, tomatoes, cab
bages, etc., to 60 without any hill
ing up. The mangles and sugar
beets stood high above the ground,
the dubious part exposed to the
sun, many of the mangles falling
over and growing crooked. The
part ofthe cucumbers above ground,
which I insisted was rather root
than stem, and should be surround.
ed by earth, was left entirely ex-
posed to the sun. 1 thought the
sun would parch the roots, and they
break or be injured when the stem
should fall from the upright to a
horizontal position.
The Engl;shman would have his
way, but agreed 1 should treat
some of each sort of plants in my
own way. So few of all sorts
were hilled up, and fully as well
worked in other respects as his,
during the season. For a few
weeks mine grew as we'll as his,
and the cucumbers, peas, ETC.,
bloomed as early. After one gath.

Many farmer keeps his pigs in
a little yard or pen, often near the
house, when the mud is too deep to
wallow through. He throws their
feed in the mud from which they
must pick it as best they can or
starve, and clean water is some
thing they seldom or never yet.
Yet such a mau will wonder why
his family is afflicted with fever or
other diseases which are engender-
ed by foulness in or about his resi-
dence, or his hogs have the cholera.
A correspondent Of the Rural New
Yorker says:
81 have seen hogs kept in this
way, or, worse yet, in foored pens
which were never cleaned until at
killing time their bellies were full of
small ulcers, and such meat is
packed and shipped to the East as
prime pork. Places where filth al
ways reigns supreme, are the fat
tening pens connected with distil-
leries. I believe that such places
have as much to do with spreading
disease among hogs as among cat
tie. So far as I have ever known,
when cholera makes it's first appear
ance in any district it has nearly
always been among the swill.ted
hogs Of distilleries, or focks treated
as described as above. do not
claim that in great cleanliness we
have all infallible preventive Of
cholera bnt 1 do claim that with
cleanliness and proper variety Of
food, the appearance Of the malady |
would be less frequent and it's vic
tins fewer; that farmers by little
care and attention might save them
selves much loss. Men shut a pig
up in a filthy pen and give him
filthy garbage to eat, and then
abuse him because he is an unclean
animal; but let them give him a
clean place to stay in, clean food
and clean water in short, treat
him as well as other stock, and see
If he is not as clean as other ami.
mails. Now, farmers, try a little
cleanliness with your hogs and see
if they do not pay better"

ed at the Louisville Fair. These
grapes were very clear and translu-
cent, and only slightly colored.
The darkest kind of red grapes had
only a light pink tinge, and no per-
son could tell what kinds any of
them were by their appearance.
The paper bags had evidently ex-
cluded the sunlight and caused the
grapes to mature without attaining
their natural color. The flavor, too,
was insipid and watery. The con-
trast between these and the rich
colors of the grapes exhibited from
my vineyards caused the Judges
who awarded the premiums, to de-
eide that the netting was a better
covering than paper bags.

days, marching over a rough coun.

watched by crowds of Zulus, again
