spector. Mr.. Logan has been for
seventeen years a practical operator
in tobacco. His factory at Jonesburg
is one of the largest in the state, and
he manufactures every year many
thousand pounds of this staple Mis-

ence in the purchase and sale of to-
bacco in handling and preparing it for
market-which is just the experience
needed by one who acts as State In
spector of tabacco-he is firm and
consistent Democrat, an intelligent
man eminently qualified for the posi-
ton he seeks. Sober, industrious,
thoroughly acquainted with the busi-
ness, he will make as good an Inspec-

"WOol Husbandry."

To the Editor of the Mexico Ledger.
In LEDGER of End inst, the extract
on ''Wool Husbandry, would seem to
imply that the wool grower Is equally
benefited with the manufacturer by
tariff of 1867. The letter accom-
panying this shows prices paid here
under present tariff. Before 1860,
wool sold here in 1854 to 1858, at 18
to p cents in 1859 and 1860, wool
shipped to St. Louis realized there
So and 80 cents. Prices In Messrs.
Ricketts, & Emmons' letter from 1876
to 1880, are On a gold basis like
those of 1854 and 1860. If the wool
grower gets the benefit of tariff prices
it would be 80 to "a cents or, taking
prices of 1859 and 1860, he would
get, if tariff benefits him, 48 to 81
cents. This showing would give a
benefit to the wool grower, from a
duty of 10 cents and IL per cent. :,
2 cents to nothing-generally, the
latter. j. F. LLEwELLYN.

Sheep in Winter.

From the National Live Stock Journal
Two extremes should be avoided
in the matter of shelters. One may
he insufficient, while the other may
be so close as to be unhealthy. The
majority of the mistakes sre with
those who shelter insufficiently. In
such instances more food is consumed
than would otherwise be required,
and no corresponding benefits &C ,rue.
The shelters on the sheep farm should
be made to increase in size as rapidly
as the flock multiplies its numbers.
The water supply should be care
fully looked to. A flock of given
number will drink more water in
winter than will be needed when in
pasture. If such an arrangement can
be economically secured, access to
water twice day is better than once.
This for two reasons-first, the more
timid animals which are likely to be
held back in the morning by their
stronger fellows have chance when
the latter are not so eager; and, Sec
ondly, all danger from over-drinking
of cold water is obviated. Use oI
snow instead of water should be
forced upon the flock only under ex
tremest necessity. Stock will live
under such circumstances, but salts
factory thrift will not be secured.
Ewes in lamb should, as far a!
practicable, be fed and sheltered sep
arately from the non-breeding ami
mails, as the crowding and more rapif
| movements of the latter are apt 10 re
suit injuriously, which such separa
ton makes more convenient certain
little attentions to which breeding
ewes are entitled as the weaving sea
son approaches, and which may b.
profitably accorded to them.

From the New York Star, Sept, 30. 1880.
In 1875 the Democrats recovered.a ma
jority in the House of Representatives, and
they went to work at once to mend the
matters of the people. To be sure their
work was not available till the year after
ward. In 1873 they bad both branches
of Congress. and the fruit Of their laborsl
then became clearly evident. Although
he has been obliged to obey the law as
made by the Democratic Congress. a
Let US take glance at some of these
results as q comparison between the last
| ''unadulterated" Radical administration
and the administration with full Demo
cratic Congressional control. 1E
Take, first. the receipts: For 1875. under
Grant. the receipts of customs were 1857.
1877 1872; under Hayes they we're $780,
522. O64-an increase of $29, 354. 342. In
1875 the internal revenue receipts were
sIl0 OO7 ,493: in 1880 they were $l24. 000.
373-an increase of $l3. $50. In 1875
the total revenues from all sources were
1884 O20,77I; in 1880 they were $685.

1875 the navy cost $2l ,49T ,626; in 1880
it cost $l3. $50 ,9s4-a decrease of 81. $780,
642. In 1875 the Indian Bureau cost
SS, 3s4.656 in 1880 it cost $5.945. 457-a
decrease of 81. 439. 209. In 1875 the total
expenditures were $178, 693,573, and in
1880 they were $267, 642 959-a decrease
of Is, $50, GA. ~
| This decrease in the total expenditures
would have been much larger but for the
increase in pension payments IN 1850
over those in ls75--the only item in which
there was an increase. 10 1875 the pen
sion payments were $40 .456.2l6 in 1880
they were $50. 37l,958. Leaving out this
pension item the decrease in expenditures
