Drunk, Your Honor,

There is now on trial in our courts,
says the Denver NelCS, a man possessed
of a good trade, and capable of earning
a decent living in any city or town in
the country. Under the influence of
liquor, q few weeks since, he attempted
to knife man to him unknown, and he
will now pay for few glasses Of vile
whisky by spending more or less time
in the penitentiary. Thursdays even
ing train brought to Denver another less
fortunate victim. He too had been i'm
bibing vile whisky, and, while under its
influence, drove the lock of gun
through the brain of an antagonist, from
the effects of which wound he died.
Here are two men-a would-be murderer,
and murderer-whose proper pleas in
court would be Drunk, your honor"
not to-day be in the coils of the law,
and with life and personal liberty i'm
perilled. They are guilty Of crime, and
vet not as guilty as men who, in their
right senses, COOlly and deliberately take
life or attempt to do so. Strange 1t is
that men never heed the lessons of every
day life and there are few more i'm
pressive ones than this. Newspapers
are filed with them; the telegraph sends
them from every town, city and village
in the land. Drunk, your honor" is
plea heard in every court in the country.
It is only an excuse-but one so fire.
uuent that it cannot be allowed. Men
whose passions are thus infamed by
drink should flee from it. They should
avoid it as they do poison. And yet to-
morrow the press and the telegraph will
have to repeat the same tale. Drunk,
your honor" will be the sad plea, the
poor excuse of many a man, who will
wake from the wild delirium of drink
to find himself q murderer or a felOn in
2 prisoners cell.

A Hint TO Dram Drinkers.

Bar keepers pay, on an average 81 per
gallon for whiskey. One gallon con-
tains an average of sixty-flve drinks,
and at ten cents drink the poor man
pays Sc, so per gallon for his whiskey.
In other words, he pays 80 for the
whskey and 81 80 to a man for hand
ing it over the bar. While ii would be
better for all not to drink, some men
will have whiskey, and my advice to
them is this. Make your wife your
barkeeper. Lend her 50 TO buy gal.
Ion of whiskey for beginning, and
every time you want drink go to
her and pay ten cents for it. BY the
time you have drank gallon she will
have $3.50, or enough money to re.
fund the 81 borrowed of you, to pay
for another gallon of liquor, and have
a balance of $3.50. She will be able tc
conduct future operations on her OWL
capital, and when you become an inc
briate, unable to support yourself
stunned and despiscd by respectable
people, your wife will have erougf
money to keep you until you get
ready to fill q drunkard's grave. Blu
you pay all this money to a barkeeper,
he wou,d not have given cent to bury
you, OF acrust of bread to keep youl
children from starving.
Few people ever stop 10 calculate the
cost of dram-drinking. At ten cents
per drink, one drink per day will cos
$685. per year; two drinks per day
will cost $50; three drinks, 100 so, and
four drinks 81 40 per year,
A man came 10 me the other day to
pay the interest on a note of s10O j
hold against him. Said he, 81 onl,

debts" ] asked him to take pencci
and make slight calculation for me
and then asked him how often he dranl
at the bar. His average was three
drinks per day, which by his own cal
culation amounted to Sl09,5O, OF
enough to have paid both principal and
interest of the note and have 81 80 left

4 Improvement Of Merino sheep. >"
kThere b probably no kind of farm
stock in which SO great improvements
have beelt made in the lash if5rty years. !
lMany have the impression that the
Merino, % imported from Spain during
the first Twelve years ofthe present GEN
tury, was All animal thai lcombiped q

Acompare favorably with specimens OF
the breed as improved by the skili oil

short of combining the many excellent

The blood of his imported ancestors, has
been so greatly Oimproyedib by tho skill
4 Of prominent breeders of this most val
tuable Of all breeds of sheep. There is
probably no valuable point in these
sheep that has not been reached by the
breeder in these improvements; We
speak now of the best specimens VIC
now have where the skill of our breed
ers has been exercised with judgment
to keep the improvements well bal
anced, and not to attain one good qual'
ity at the some other and
equally important, sometimes more
valuable characteristic. This disposi
ton of many breeders to improve some
one point, losing sight of other excel
lent ones, has greatly hindered perhaps
the general improvement ofthe mass o
our Merino sheep, although breeders 0
judgment and skill have undoubtedl,
taken advantage of the great improve
ments reached by these improvers il
some single line, and by uniting thes'
various excellencies have been able t
produce some very excellent aud yalu
able sheep, and by continued exercis
of the same skill and judgment hav'
been able to permanently fix and har
monte these several improvements
and make it possible to perpetual
them with Uniformity, but the breeder
are very scaree.t HAT have been able Il
show an improvement through larg
number of generations, where confirms
themselves to the family they frs
adopted, and especially where they con
fined themselves strictly to their owl
flock, without introducing OCCASIONAL
blood from some other.
In order to show more fullyIthe grea
improvement that has been made in thi
race or breed of sheep, we propose t.
publish a series of articles from time t.

that have been made, while facts ant
figures we shall give will more full
prove the remainder.

The New York Tribune says: cit is
folly to keep old sheep. They should
be turned of to the butcher while they
are in their prime. 1t does not take
half as much to tatten them then.
When they get old and thin, in order to
pat them in condition to slaughter, the
whole superstructure must be rebuilt.
Four sets of lambs are all an eve should
bear; this will bring her to five years,
and this is an age when, with little ex-
ira care, she will round up to fine
carcass. Exceptions may be made when
the breed is scarce, and the blood is
more valuable than anything else"
This may be very good advice for
breeders Of mutton sheep, butts very
poor if applied to Mcrino sheep. Me-
rino ewes, on an average, are more val
liable as breeders from five to ten years
of age than before that time. We have
a eve, that we purchased in March,
1875 for $40. Soon after she brought
forth pair of eve lambs, the next
spring a eve lamb, and for the three
seasons since, including this, twins
making nine lambs IN the five years.
We sold the first pair for 1928. The
next one we lost after she was year
old; we refused s25 for her when she
was old enough to wean. We sold one
of the next pair for $40, and have one
LEFT. One Of the next pair dropped in
ls7s)was lost aftof it was taken from
the eve. This spring she has very
fine pair which we value more highly
than anyof the others. They weighed
II pounds when first dropped. We
have thus realized from this eve since
she was ten years old, sos in actual
usalss, of three1of her lambs, and have
-four lett That we should not take less
than $200 for, aud certainly we shonld
refuse more than double what we paid
for the old eve, as she never appeared
hearticr, healthier, or more likely to
/ dive and be ,aseful than she does now.
We have never allowed her to raise but
one of her pairs of twins, although at
first she had milk in plenty for the two
she had this spring, and fewewes are
raising their lambs as well as che is
raising the one we, left on her this
spring. Size had nograin the past win
ter, good early cut and rowen hay being
Il her food. Since April first she has had
grain. Her fine feeces since we have
owned her have made an aggregate
weight of very nearly so lbs.
This case is perhaps an exceptional
enc, hut there have been many cases of
greater longevity sand of those that haye
bred even after they Mere twenty Yeas
old. 1t may be profitable TO dispose OF
, coarse wooded sheep for mutton at five
on six years, but the average Merino
eve will return much more profit after
than before that age.
