sheep raising as an important and
essential part OF mixed husbandry to
our farmers. There is no better and
more remuneratiye business, year af-
ter year, than sheep husbandry, for
the simple reason that the increase
Of population is so constant and
great as to keep up steady home
demand for wool and all kinds of
wooden fabrics. The statistics show
that the wooden product In the State
of West Virginia, in 1879, was about
$260,000, and the value of imports
(of wool and wooden goods) over
home production was over So, 100000
1t is well authenticated fact that
West Virginia, with it's immense
mountainous regions, is better adapt
ed to the remarkable health and wool
growing business, than any other
State in the Union, the product of
the above three millions paid for i'm
portation might and ought to have
been exported, which would have
been a net gain Of six millions to
our own citizens and State. The sheep
husbandry is far more certain and
remunerative than the cattle bust
ness. The Clarksburg Telegram,
published in the great cattle grow
ing county OF Harrison, has found
out that there is more profit in sheep
than in cattle. 1t says: "We hope
the farmers of this State-especially
of this county-will stock their
farms with sheep hereafter instead of
cattle. The cattle interest is dead so
FAR as our section is concerned, and
many of oar farmers have found it
out to their sorrow, Wool brings a
high price, and sheep increase with
wonderful rapidity, giving the farmer
q remuneration in several ways.
West Virginia wool is very high in
the markets. and buyers complain of
its scarcity, Instead of buying cat
tie next spring put your money into
sheep of good grade, and the wheels
Of the panic will soon roll off your
pocket book. 1t is suicidal to longer
dabble il cattle.-Tucker Pioneer.

The Mleanest Man.

Almost every city and town lays
claim to the meanest man, but we
believe that the smallest specimen OF
mean man resides in Newburyport,
says the Herald of that city. A few
days ago he called at a hardware
store, and represented that he was
troubled with a mouse in his pantry
at home, at the same time asking the
clerk for the loan of a mouse trap to
catch the animal. The clerk replied
that was hardly the way business
was done at that establishment, but
informed the gentleman who was be
ing impoverished by the mouse that
a good trap could be purchased for
twenty cents. After some pickering
the bargain was concluded. A few
days afterward, however, in walked
the owner of the trap with the infor-
nation that he had been successful
in catching the mouse, and that the
article would be no further use to
HIM. This was followed by a re-
quest that the storekeeper take back
the trap aud return him the original
price. This was rather stagger in
the way of cheek, bnt the man be
hind the counter quietly took out
twenty cents, passed it over to the IN.
m, and remarked that he would re-
fund the money and at the same time
present him with the trap. Grace
fully thanking him, the m. m. quiet
ly pocketed the cash and trap, and
walked out with the satisfied air OF
conscious rectitude.

BUTTER MAKING.

The Earl of Rossbough has issued
a letter to his tenants in Ireland
which is full of-useful hints. We re
produce the following:
"For the information of those who
have not yet been able to make good
butter | offer the following sugges
tons: Have separate room for
your milk, we'll ventilated, but not
too light, far away from stable, pig
gerry or manure heap. The floor
should be of flags, tiles or concrete,
very close and evenly made, SO that
it can be easily washed without leav-
ing any substance behind likely to
create bad smell, as it would be in
furious to your milk and butter.
Clay floors are very bad. Be sure
not to use your milk room for any
other purpose than your milk and
butter. Wash the cows udder be-
fore milking, and your own hands
before commencing with each cow.
Use the finest hair strainer you can
get. Keep all your milk vessels
-scrupulously clean, never use soap in
cleansing up your milk vessels, nor
even in washing your hands, when
engaged with your milk or butter.
Do not keep your milk too long
standing before churning. Twenty
four to thirty six or forty eight hours,
according to the temperature of the
weather, will be enough. Avoid all
touching of the butter by the hand,
Use the best salt, made very fine.
Wash and press all the milk out OF
the butter before sailing, using plen-
ty of cold spring water You cannot
be too careful about this. In pack
ing in firkins, get the best you can
of well-seasoned oak, beech or ash,
clean looking and smooth on the in
side, and bring them clean to mar
ket. In preparing your firkins let
them be filled the day before wanted
with boiling water, let stand until
cold, then rinse with clean cold wa
ter, into which a couple of handfuls
of salt have been put. This will
make your firkins sweet and stanch.
Pack your butter in the firkin as
closely as possible, and send it to
market as soon as you can. Let
cleanliness be your constant care,
from the milking of the cows until
you bring your butter to market.

HORSES SHOULDERS.

In the street we observed horse
with bad gall upon the shoulders,
and inquired as to the cause. The
reply was: May work is severe, and
/ am satisfied soft collar, such as
have been using, is bad for the
horses shoulders. l am going to
have collar with wooden face, like
an OK yoke, next to the flesh; / am
satisfied then l shall have no
trouble"
The collar which was on his horse
was dirty and grimy and there was
no wonder that with heavy work his
horse became CALLED.
In the New York Tribune Of a
recent date A. B. Allen touches this
matter of hard collars as follows:
/ have worked horses in all sorts
of ways for more than half a century.
and never had case of CALLED should
ers, except when the drivers neglect
ed my directions about the collars
This was simply to rub them inside
every few days with little neatsfoot
oil; and the moment they found any
dirt sticking like wax to the collar
IT, wash it off with warm soap suds,
and then oil it. Also to oil any
chaied spot on the shoulder OF either
OK or horse Immediately on discover
ing it. An excellent preventive of
gals is not to remove the yoke from
the OK or collar from the horse when
brought into the stable from work
till all the sweat is thoroughly dried
up ON them. The same remarks as
above may be applied to the use of
saddles or to any part Of the harness
which happens to gall. If these are
nicely fitted to the animal, and kept
clean, it must be an extra tender
skin that will ever show even slight
chatting. An acquaintance of mine,
who worked large number of mules
towing canal boats in New Jersey,
informed me that he never removed
a collar from an animal during the
whole season-kept it on all night in
the stable as well as day. In this
way he rarely had a CALLED shoulder
among the hundred he annually en-
ployed. The continued wearing Of
the collar toughened the skin, yet
kept it soft and pliable.

THE WORLD FOR 1880.

Democrats everywhere should inform
themselves fully alike OF the action of their
party throughout the country and of the
movements of their Republican opponents
A failure to do this in 1876 contributed
greatly to the loss by the Democracy of
the fruits Of the victory fairly won at the
polls. fss
The year 1880 promises to be one Of the
most interesting and important years of
this crowded and eventful century. 1t will
witness q Presidential election which may
result in re-establishing the Government Of
this country on the principles of its con-
stltutional founders, or IN permanently
changing the relations of the States TO the
Federal power. No intelligent man can re-
gard such an election with indifference

newspaper published in the city of New
York which upholds the constitutional

moeratic party in this canvass. 1t will do

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Civil war has decided and buried
forever two questions that veXed the
politics Of the country for three score
years-slavery, and the doctrine CT
secession. If the managers of the
Republican party will not submit to
law, or to equity. ca to votes, or to
all combined; it may be that another
question in this Republic must be
settled in blood-a question that lies
at the foundation of the Republic, the
question whether suffrage and law, or
fraud, shall prevail. The manner,
in which the Presidency was taken
is not yet forgotten. The Republi-
can leaders may prostitute even
courts to their purposes, but not al
ways. The question now to be de-
termined does not concern four mil
lions Of people, merely, it concerns
more than forty millions Of people.
1t does not concern few States, a
section, only; it concerns thirty
eight States. The patience of the
people must not be overtaxed. When
they find the Constitution and laws
are of 80 avail, and the votes are of
no avail, they will find something
that is of avail; and the next "nn-
pleasaR tness'' will not begin in the
South,
