Winter In the Sheepf0ld.

Sheen should have better care in ear
ly winter than farmers are in The habit
Of bestowing. Wintering sheep to
make them live only is attended with
profit, let prices rule high or low.
Sheep are commonly neglected more il,
early winter than any other farm stock
for they are often the very last taken
from the pastures.
If sheep go into winter quarters in a
declining state, the result Is demand
for extra feed and care during the win
ter, and light clip of wool in the
spring. When sheep is thriving,
wool grows rapidly; when sheep is
declining, the growth is checked. II
kept fat, large fleece; if poor, light
one. Sheep should have little grain
every day, from the time grass begins
to fail in the fall until il has good
start in the spring. Iwould rather my
sheep would have a gill of corn or oats
per day from the middle of November
till April, than pint day from Janu-
ary till June. There should be one OBJ
iect constantly before the mind of the
fockmaster, and that is, to keep sheen
in thriving condition.
Too large a number of sheep should
not be wintered together. believe
that seventy-tige is enough for o. e lot
by no means let theie be more than one
hundred. There is much more danger
of disease in large flncks than IN small
ones. Tie proportion of sheep that de-
not thrive is always greater in large
flncks than in small ones. The division
should be made so as to put sheep of
about the same length together. Lambs
should be by themselves, with few old
large aud small weihers should be b,
themselves, also all ewes. BY this sys-
ten of division all have an equal
chance, which is impossible where
large numbers of all ages and condi-
tons run together. - Rural World.

says that neighboring farmer, some
six years since. planted two branches
of All apple tree, one the size of an Or

times the size; both were planted In a
garden, about six inches deep, and both
bore fruit the following year. They

SAN Francisco, Sept. 10.-A Petaluma
dispatch says President Hayes left the city
at $40 for Petaluma on the steamer San
Rafel, accompanied by General Sherman,
Secretary Ramsey and his son. The ladies
Of the party were so much fatigued they
could not attend. Governor Perkins and
General McComb were in the party. On
reaching the steamer the President was
greeted by 0. G.. Wickershaw, E. S. Lip
petit and P. Overton, of Petaluma, and
escorted on board. At San Quentin the
Directors car of the North Pacific Coast
R. R. was put on. AS they moved of the
President stood on the rear platform and
waved his hat to the enthusiastic assem-
blage, which cheered vociferously. The
party was transferred at the junction to a
special train of the San Francisco & North
Pacific R. R. Hosts of San Rafael peo-
Pile cheered the President and General
Sherman as they left the station. The train
proceeded without stopping. The Peta-
luna reception here is under the auspices
of the Directors of the Marin and So
noma District Agricultural Fair. A large
crowd was assembled at the station. F. w.
Shattuck delivered the address of welcome
on behalf of the Directors Of the Fair.
The President replied simply by thanking
the committee for the welcome. Carriages
were in waiting, and preceded by the band,
Houston Guards, st. Patrick's Cadets and
Swiss society, paraded through the prin-
cipal streets and into the Fair grounds.
The streets were thronged with people,
who cheered to the echo as the Presidential
carriage passed. There was a handsome
display OF bunting all along the line. A
salute OF 81 guns was fired, and the bells
OF the town rang out a welcome. All
Petaluma, and all the n~eighboring~ country,
was represented at the Fair grounds. The
parade of stock was started Immediately
after Mr.. Hayes reached the grand stand.
After the stock parade, ]. Mem. Shafter,
Director Of the Association. introduced the
President, who, after the applause had sub
sided, addressed the crowd at some length
in a pleasant, chatty name with some
good-humored references to the hilarity
attendant upon his reception on entering
the State and reaching San Francisco, and
closed in the following words: The people
OF this country are united with the Nation,
and l know you wish that the perpetuity
and stability OF the Government may con-
tinue, and that for all time it may be the
home Of freedom and a refuge for the
oppressed of every age and every cline.
Secretary Ramsey, General Sherman and
Governor Perkins spoke briefly, after
which the party inspected the display at
the pavilion, returning to the city late in
the afternoon.

A GREEN MOUNTAIN PATRIOT.

A Vermont Republican named Fifeld,
who is shrieking for Garfield amid the
echoes of the Green Mountains, has been
frightfully exercised because Southern
Senators and Representatives are On i'm
portant committees. He did not shrek
thus in December, 1859. when every Sem
ator and every Representative, with five
exceptions, from Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Louisiana, Missouri, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Tennessee and West
Virginia Georgia. Mississippi. Texas and
Virginia not being allowed representa-
tion) was a Republican; and when in the
Senate the 'honest" Sawyer, of South
Carolina, was on the Committee on
Appropriations; the commercial" KEEL
log, Of Louisiana, was on the Committee
on Commerce; the ''pliable' Gilbert, of
Florida, on the Committee on Agricul-
ture, and when in both bodies every
other stalwart or carpet-bag "Southron"
had his full place and fuller say. Where
fore it must be clear ever to the YER
monter who has just found out that the
civil war is not Dyer that the new Sec
tional attack on the South by the Re-
publicans is only a fresh illustration of
the aptness of the old fable about the
difference. in point of cruelty to animals,

THE WORLD" ON THE NEW
YORK SETTLEMENT.

1t is very touching, remarks the World,
to find the organs Of the Republican
party so shocked at the shameless lack
of principle which induces the Democrats
of this city to unite, instead of nobly
fighting SO as to enable the Republicans
to elect members of Assembly and Of
Congress in doubtful districts. 1t was
bad enough-in fact too bad-for all
Democrats to unite upon Hancock, and
by calling one State Convention instead
of two to nominate a Chief Judge Of
Appeals, to dissipate whatever chance
Mr.. Garfield might previously have had
of becoming President. But it is simply
loathsome to the organs that this year it
should be the leaders of the other Sec
ton of the Democratic party who are
counting "a monstrous union with Tam
many Hall" in local nominations, instead
of the leaders of the Republican party,
who were doing the same thing last year.
As we have already had the honor of OBJ
serving, as a movement to secure Re
publican approval the Democratic con.
ference is a complete failure. But for
the purpose of i~nsuring the election Of
Hancock; of securing, SO far as New
York can do it, Democratic control Of
the next House of Representatives. and
SO far as New York can do it, Democratic
control of the State Legislature and the
choice of q Democratic Senator from this
State-the conference is a brilliant sue
cess. Nothing could be better or more
suspicious than the temper in which, or
both sides, the negotiation was conducted
There was more than one point at which
the negotiations would have been broker
off if the men who conducted them haG
not been more intent upon securing a rea
union of the patty than upon gaining
eve substantial advantages for theil
respective sides. The result is perfectly
sure to be the return Of a solidly Demo
cratic delegation to Congress from thi
city-at least a delegation with not NOR
than one break in it-and Of an almos
solidly Democratic delegation to tn
State Assembly.
