HERE are a couple OF hints that may
be serviceaDle In tho management OF
the Gala lily and oleanaer. The first
relate to the Gala lily, which, bought
ut a greenhouse, soon began to droop
and turn yellow, l procured three
gallon glazed crock, filled 1t two-thirds
full Of rich earth, and thon put in the
plant and filled nearly to the brim with
water, which have kept at about that
level ever since, adding now and then
u few drops OF ammonia. 10 day, my
Gala stands four feet high, with four
broad, dark green leaves; stalk in the
water line Is as large army wrist, and
t%o flower at ms are appearing" The
second describes better way with the
oleander than the usual one Of allowing
1t to grow without training, In the de-
sire to procure blossoms at the earliest
possible moment: " In starting from
cutting, my practice IL to pinch off the
shoots above the second or third Joint,
or more If desired, and the reward for
such practice Is double, and sometimes
treble, the number Of shoots which may
again be pinched, thus producinga Il COM
pact, .bushy head, This is in itself an
ornament; besides, the plant Is vigorous
and able TO support large numuer OF
clusters of flowers"

KILL Your SHEEP HoUNG.-There
arc few animals kept on the farm which
when they are IN their prime, pay as
we'll as sheep, and there are few, If any
others, upon whom old age has such a
damaging effect. AS the sheep is much
shorter lived than any other OF our do
mestic animals, 1t Is not strange that
many farmers attempt to keep them too
long. At ton years Of ago the horse is
just III his prime, and tho COW is us good
as ever, with the prospect of rcmaining
so several years longer. But the sheer
Is very old whenit reaches the age Of
ten, the natural limit of the term OF
life. After reaching this age sheep
are very likely to be Injured by the
slight exposures which do younger
animals no harm. They are more lia-
Bile to be attacked by disease, and II
they live they will be likely to produce
less woool and smaller lambs than they
have done previously. We do NOT
think it pays, except perhaps In special
instances, to keep sheep after they are
SIX years old.

There are two varieties, white and

HINrs ON HORSE KERpINa. The
wide stall Is luxury, and ought to be
ssix or even ten feet wide, If the room
can be spared. Loose boxes are lmpor-
tant for horses of great value; IN
snoh stalls they can get perfect repose
by changing their position, recover
from the fatigue Of hard days drive
and then be ready for their task the
next day. The food best adapted to
the horse is oats and hav Of the best
quality, occasionally varied with bran
mash, with turnlEs or carrots as an al
rerative. The growth and develop.
ment Of bone and muscle depends
greatly on the food they eat. 1t is i'm.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Aug, IS, 1880

WASHINGTON, Aug, IS, 1880.
1t is not too much to Fay that,
the appearance of Gen. Hamcock's
letter of acceptance, followed by
the publication of his remarkable
letter to Gen. Sherman, has pros
duced a feeling of depression, al
most of despair, among the thous-
ant!s of office holders here, whose
bread and butter depend upon his

admitted WAS singnlarly strong

did organization, if not proof
against a complete rout in the be-
ginning of the campaign. Their
poundless resources, nsed effective-
lly, had stimulated the most faint
hearted, If not with confidence, at
least with hope. An improved ac-
ton was beginning to be felt in the
re-lubricatc,i machine. But TO have
their own guns capt ured and turned
against them would have been too
much for the steadIest discipline
and most splendid morale.
The chiefrst danger 70 Democrat

i'll trust too much 10 the invul.
