The Correct Way to Handle Sheep.

There is right way and a wrong way, a
hard way and an easy way, an awkward and
skilful way to catch and handle sheep A
great many men will seize the sheep by the
wool on the back with both hands, and lift
the animal clear from the ground by the wool
only. Barbarous. Let some giant grasp you
by the hair of the head and lift you from the
ground by the hair only. Would you not
struggle and squirm worse than the mute sheep
does when lifted by the wool? And would
there not be complaint of a sore head for q
week or two? If you do not believe it, try
the experiment. We have slaughtered a great
many sheep in years past, and when removing
the pelts OF such sheep that had been handled
by the wool, we never failed to observe that
beneath the skin, wherever the animal had
been handled by the wool, blood had settled
In many instances the skin had been separa-
ted from the body so that Inflammation was
apparent We have known proprietors of
sheep to be so strict in regard to handling
them, that they would order u helper from
the premises if he were to catch sheep by
the wool on any part of the body. Some
owners of sheep direct their helpers thus
when about to catch sheep, move careful
ly toward the one to be taken, until YOU are
sufficiently near to spring quickly and seize
the beast by the neck with both hands, then
pass one hand around the body, grasp the
brisket and lift the sheep clear from the ground.
The wool must not be pulled. If the sheep is
heavy one, let one hand and wrist be put
around the neck and the other pressed against
the rump." We have always handled sheep
in the way alluded to. We never grasp the
the wool. Others seize the sheep by hind
leg, then throw one arm around the body and
take hold of the brisket with one hand But
ewes with lambs should never be caught by
flan IA ,,I =
extreme care. When sheep are handled
roughly, especially if their wool is pulled, the
small bruises and injuries will render them
more wild and difficult to handle.

To CURE GAPEs IN CHIcKENs.-Fasten up
the little chicks at night; in the morning catch
all and put into barrels, from fifteen TO twen-
ty.fve in barrel, according to size; place
thin cloth, such as coarse swiss, over the top
of the barrel, and sift air-slaked lime through it
on the chicks. They inhale it, and immediate
ly begin to sneeze most energetically Keep
them in about ten minutes, then turn the barrel
over and let them out Ifkept in too long they
will go blind. Two or three applications will
be sufficient to cure them, but after while
more worms will insnuate themselves into
their windpipes, and the same operation will
have to be repeated. Myself and several of
my neighbors tried this all through last sea-
son, and we found it n sure cure 1t also
keeps them free from lice and vermin. Irais-

SUGAR BEET CULTURE.-Mr John b. Nor
rison, of Pennington, Me-, grew last year for
ty tons of sugar beets on one acre of land,
which was also in beets in 1877 The land
with well rotted barn yard manure at the rate
of about ten cords to the acre. When the
beets were three inches high they were
thinned to one plant to every eight in
ches. After this time they were hoed but
once, as the leaves shaded the ground and
kept down the weeds. 1t should have been
stated that the seed was not sown till June /,
fully two weeks later than should have been
the case. Mr. Morrison attributed his success
almost wholly to deepplowing, and he regard
ed the work of growing the crop, aside from
the extra labor of blowing, as no greater than
than that required to grow an acre of pota-
toes

Mrs. Mary A. Lvermore tells the following
story of English politeness, which we believe
because we find it in newspaper, but which
we wouldn't have believed if she had told it
to us herself. She says: II was once the
recipient of n very marked politeness in Lon
don. My husband and | received verbal
invitation from Lady Villas, whom had met
once or twice pleasantly, to come to her home
next evening and meet a few friends of hers
We accepted and went. But l was deceived
by the informally of the invitation, and sup
posed it was merely to meet half II dozen
neighbors or intimate friends. So we went
out riding in the afternoon, stopping there on
our way back to the hotel Judge of my
amazement to find the house illuminated and
n very large and brilliant party assembled in
full dress in my honor. There | was i'm q
plain carriage dress, bonnet, black gloves
| went right into the house and to the ladies'
drcssing-room, whence | sent note to the
hostess saying that | had Inexperienced her
invitation and was not in appropriate cos
tune
She ran up and treasured me by telling me
| they had come to see me and didn't care for
the dress, and carried me right down with
her. All in full dress, and the ladies without
hats, and hair deliberately dressed; | with
| brown dress, bare hands, bonnet on. | soon
recovered the self-possession which the fdur
pas somewhat disturbed, and was greeted
| with splendid cordially. In few minutes
Mr. Livermore edged around behind me and
whispered, Didn't you think Mary, that all
| these ladies had on white kids when you
came IMP | looked around, and they were
all bare-handed! Moreover, | observed that
| halfdozen had bonnets on. This half-dozen
| rapidly increased, till we were in majority
and discovered that no lady who had ar
| rived after | did had removed her hat. Now,
that is what call polteness"
Rev. BILLY BARNES AND Ills WIG.-Rev
William Barnes, or Rev. Billy Barnes, as he
| was universally called, was II noted and
somewhat eccentric preacher of the NJ L.
| Church, who died in 1865, after 4S years SER
vice. He was accustomed to urge plainness
of dress and to denounce the frivoties of
| fashionable life as INDUCED by many Metho-
dists. Some of the brethren, and more likely
the sisters, had discussed the subject, and in
doing so retaliated on the preacher on ac-
count of his wig, which was by the critics
| styled an unnecessary appcndage of dress
These criticisms reached Mr.. Barnes and,
preaching one day on the Zoar camp ground,
| in Sussex county, Delaware, one of his fiery
sermons he raised his hand over his head,
and exclaimed "IIere is William Barnes with
his wig" and suiting the action TO the word,
grasped the wisp of hair and holding it aloft
he continues "And here is William Barnes
without his wig. How do you like him best?"
The effect of such dramatic scene was not
only electric but to some extent ludicrous,
the audience for q few minutes giving way to
! what Appropriated to boistcrous laughter.

MONTERREY.

We Were not many-we who stood
Before the iron slcet that day;
CT many Il gallant spirit would
Give half his years il he but could
Have been with us at Monterey.
Now here, now there, the shot is hailed
In deadly drifts of fiery spray;
Yet not single soldier qllailed
When wounded comrades round them walled
Their dying shouts at Monterey.
And on, still on, our column kept,
Through wall of flame. its whitening way
Where fell the dead the living slept
Still charging on the guns which swept
The,Slippery streets OF Monterey.
The foe himself recoiled aghast,
When, striking where the strongest lay,
We swoOped his thanking batteries past,
And, Drawing full their murderouS blast,
Storned home the towers of Monterey.
our banners on those turrets wave,
And there our evening bugles play,
Where orange boughs above their grave
Keep green the memory of the brave
Who fought and fell ut Monterey.
We are not many-wc who pressed
Beside the brave who fell that day;
But who of us has not confessed
He'd rather share their warrior rest
Than not have been at Monterey.
Upon my bosom lies
a knot of blue and gray;
You ask me why. Tears fiji my eyes
AS low to you say:
had two brothers once
Warm-hcarted, bold and gay:
They left my sidc-onc wore the blue
The other wore the gray.
One rode with Stonowall and his men
And joined his fate to Lee,
The other followed Shermans march
Triumphant to the sea.
Both fought for what they deemed the right
And died with sword in hand,
One sleeps amid Virginia's hills
And one in Georgia's sand.
The same sun shines upon their graves
My love unchanged must stay;
And so upon my bosom lies
The knot of blue and gray.

Coop FOR Cows.-The Lice Stock Journal

Coop FOR Cows.--The Lice Stock Journal
decides general questions as to COW food:
"We have seen pumpkins fed with excel
lent results in quantity and quality of milk;
but it is not fit or economical to feed too
largely of any one food. Potatoes fed in
moderation are excellent for milk, but given
in too great quantity, they will reduce the
yield. Turnips or beets must not be given too
literally; corn fodder given in a sole ration
is Improbable but fed with half pasture will
keep up the yield of milk, and add largely TO
the profits Of the season."

Yesterday a Cinnamon went into
Jennie Taylor's to sell opium. She told
him she would buy some and called a
third'party to witness the transaction.
Then she bought small box of opium
from the Cinnamon and paid him a
dollar for it,. Another was called and
the Chinamar was arrested and taken
to Jail. Tn less thar an hour he was
indicted by the Grand Jury, and, as
the evidence against him is said to be
positive, there isrseareely a. chance for
him to escape the penalty prescribed by
law. II others would adopt'this method
of dealing with Chinese opium sellers,
the business1woulG soon be- broken up
and the temptation would not be SO great
for ysarg men to indulge in the body

The Grand Jury now i'm session in
dicted three white men andsone China
men for felony, under an Aes Of the late
Legislature, for resorting to China
house TO indoigc in the use of the drug
by smoking or otherwise. Yesterday
defendants, by their counsel. interposed
dennurrers upon general and s5ecial
grounds named in the Criminal Practice
Act. M. s. Bonnifeld, counsel for
William Cass, one of defendants, among
otherthings, argued and urged that the
statute generally called, the "Opium
Act +" is unconstitutional. The Consti-
tuition OF Nevada provides that leach
law enacted BY the Legislature shall
embrace but. one subject and matter
properly connected herewith, which
shall,be briefly expressed in the title"
The statute OF 1877 provides that it
shall be unlawful Tor any person, except
druggists and apothecaries on the pre-
scription OF legally practicing physi-
clans, to sell, give orotherwise dispose
OF opium in this State 1t Also makes
it unlawful to keep place of resort for
the purpose OF indulging in the use of
opium by smoking or otherwise. The
title of thea is FAN Act to regulate
che sale or disposal of opiuaa, and to
prohibit the keeping of places Of resort
for smoking or otherwise using the
druR" In 1879 this Act was amended,
ana = makes it unlawful to resort, for
the parpose Of INDUCING in the use of
opium, to these place. of resort. Coun-
sci claimed that the Act as it now
stands embraces three distinct and in
dependents subjects, two Of. which sub
jects only. are embraced In the title,
when it should embrace but ore, and
that one should be briefly expresse,i'in

until next Monday at 10 O'Clock tospro-
duce authorities in support of the de-
murrers, which were temporarily over
ruled. 1t looks as if sending men to

the use OF opium, was a very severe
punishment

lings finds to be rich in both gold and
silver, some OF ii assaying 500 in gold,
