History of Mississippi

1t Is our purpose to commence putting in
type the first volume of this work early in
October, and to complete the same by the first
of December, by which time Col. Claiborne
will have the copy for the second volume
ready for the press. We desire 4 thorough
canvass OF the State during September. Ac-
tive and reliable agents are wanted, and the
usual commission will be allowed. Specimen
pages bindings, and all necessary instructions
will be furnished to agents.
We hope to be able to present to the pub
lie work that, SO far as typographical excel
lence is concerned, will compare favorably
with theI leading publishing houses of the
North but having no stereotyping facilities,
the edition viii be limited to the probable
demand, and hence we ask Mississippians who
would secure this work for their libraries, to
give our agents kindly greeting. After a
careful examination of the manuscripts, we
hesitate not to say that all classes of readers
will find this to be work of intensely thrill
ing interest. AS we progress with the printing
we may give our readers extracts relating to
the early times and men of Mississippi.
The History will make two large volumes
from five to six hundred pages in each. 1t
will be printed from new type, on fine paper,
and elegantly bound. The price, in muslin
covers, will be s. 90 per volume; in library
binding, So so per volume. Orders can be
sent direct TO this Office, and will be filed
through agents in counties where appointed (;
otherwise by mail, direct to the subscribers.

Clean UP the Pastures.

In the month of July, cut down and grub
out all the sprouts, briars and suckers of
shrubs of trees to be found in the pastures and
meadows, and you will get rid Of them. Pas
lures ought to be kept as clean as meadows,
so that the moving machine may be run over
them, and all the weeds that grow, be cut
down before they ripen. Our pastures, with
little care, might be made to carry through
the summer double the number of animals
they do. If the weeds are kept down, if the
briers and sprouts are kept out, if the pastures
are kept rich and the stock are not allowed to
feed too close, ii sheep are kept to bite down
the weeds and bushes when they shoot up and
are cut down-the pasturage can be increased
yearly and made very proftable.-C Coleman :

The above estimate is reliable, and includes
everything except fuel (which students buy
from the University at cost. and furniture

Some students Of good standing got along

Varied Home Industries.

We have from time to time urged the
importance of varied industries to bring
about prosperity to our section, and
it r. now generally conceded that our
people are becoming slowly convinced
of the great fact which other communi-
ties have practically illustrated in the
prosperity flowing from diversified home in
dustries, that the farm and furnace, the
workshop and the factory, the railroad and
the water-craft, must all exist within sight
of each other, and are as necessary to the
prosperity of each other as are the bricks,
mortar, and materials in the erection of our
buildings.
Take any one isolated branch Of business,
and it will dwindle just in proportion as it
fails to connect its interest with those of
other departments and it will be found that
no strictly agricultural country has ever, or
ever can, build up commercial cities, lines
Of transportation, banking facilities, har-
bors and ships, out of the simple annual
profits made by growing any description OF
products. What is it that has made Egypt,
india. Italy, Spain and Russia grow poor
and poorer, when they have been pouring
forth their agricultural treasures for thous-
ands of wears, so that they have to call on
other nations for money TO make their IN.
ternal improvements and to build up and
carry forward their commerce. Ii Is simply
their lack of manufactures, inventions, COM
mcrce, and diversified home industries not
merely to supply the home population but
70 supply the outside markets,

Handling Sheep.

Not even the COW, says the Western Ru-
raj, should receive gentler handling than
the sheep. Kindness is always well repaid
by any of our domestic animals, but the
sheep being so shy an animal, il requires
special exhibition of kindness. 1t should
be 50 handled and treated a. it Will never
become frightened at the approach of a
person. Their treatment should be such as
that they will actually learn to entertain
an affection for their keeper, and if they do,
they will naturally be tame and dOcile. a
flock Of wild sheep is about the most I'M
profitable investment that a farmer can
make They are continually getting into
some trouble, and causing great annoyance,
if not loss, to their owners.
We have seen some hockmen Jump into
flock and pull and haul the sheep by the
wool until the animals were not only half
frightened to death, but suffered great in
Jury otherwise. A sheep should never be
caught or lifted by the wool. Some one has
said that if anyone doubts the improperly
of lifting a sheep by the wool, just let him
permit himself to be lifted by the hair, and
ii is a good suggestion. When sheep are
thus caught or lifted the skin in some in
stances is actually torn from the flesh and
if the injury is not to that extent it cannot
but affect the flesh to some degree.
A sheep should be lifted by placing the
arms around the body and near the forelegs
This is the easiest way to do, especially
with large sheep. To catch the animal, the
hands should be thrown about the neck,
or else the sheep should be caught by the
hind leg Immediately above the hook. This
latter may be done with the hand or the
crook, and when this way is adopted the
utmost gentleness should be observed, and
the sheep gently drawn back until the other
hand can reach the neck. 1t is scarcely
necessary to remind the keeper that when
the crook is used upon a sheep which is
closely surrounded by other sheep, that great
care must be exercised lest the other sheep
Jump against the one caught, or against the
crook, in which case severe damage may be
done
