How 10 Raise n shepherd Dog.

A San Antonso correspondent of the New
York Sun says
"In former number of the Weekly Sun
appeared a letter on sheep raising in Texas,
in which the author praised shepherd dogs.
1t is theexperience of most sheep men that
it is better not TO use dogs NJ all but If
dogs are used the best are those that grow
to large size, and are converted into sbep.
herd dogs in the way the MeXicons do. That
is, take tho pup away from its mother before
its eyes open, and give it to goat or eve to
raise, depriving the latter of their offspring
when Just born, The pup will know its
stepmo.her and will go TO it to be sucked.
As soon as the dog is old enough to go out
with the hock il will stay with them, and
when it 10 grown will BIO very useful in dfiv-
ing off other dogs, wolves, or sheep thieves.
For that use the larger and more fierce the
breed of the dog the better, but any kind of
dog can be made shepherd dog in tie way
above described. If person wishes to in.
trust small flock, say 800 sheep, to the
care of the dog alone, the later must be fed
but twice q day, in the morning before the
sheep leave the corral, and al nightfall when
he comes Tor his supper. Should he leave
his flock during the day TO come home for
food give him sound whipping, aud send
him back to the feck without food. Aftei
this hss been done few times he will aeon
leam not 20 leave his flock, aod to bring it
home 1T the proper time"
This ia a very valuable pieoo Of lntorma-
tion and should be remembered.

The following is specimen OF ,ae stuff
served up Ia Jhe New York Times:
"LoCATISa A SHgFP BAECH.--A. w, +,
Tenants harbor Ble.: Tho best locality
for locating q sheep ranch is lu southwest or
central Kansas. a homestead Of 1850 acres
and timber claim OF 100 more can be- taken
up without cost TO seryo as winter head
quarters where hay may be cut aud ZONE
corn grown for wl2'ar use. Ihaie is plainly
Of range Oh uuoccupiad land 10 last mauy
years on the prairie between tho so.tied por-
ton on the railroads FIR summer pasture.
The best sheep to begin with are the common
natives crossed with pure MefinOes. Com
mon sheep cost 81 80 10 81 each, and pure
Merino rams $40 to &25 each. One should
have enough to buy q thousand sheep, two
yoke Of oxen, and y camping wagon and the
outfit with provisions to last year. Money
comes 10 when the sheep are aheered. Texas
is not desirable place TO begin this business
in; it is too much occupied by cattle, whose
owners are uufriendly 70 shepherds. 1t is
best to 90 in the spring and raise crop of
corn and cut hay for winter and buy sheep
in the summer or early fall"
There are several falsehoods in the
above, Indeed it would be difficult to
find single truth ia it. The Times is an iu-
tensely partisan paper, and therefore totally
unrelisbe. Ii is preiudiced against Texas
because it don't vote its ticket and never
will. Any one with rs much brain as
sheep knows Texss il better adapted in every
way 20 sheep raising than Kansas A sheep
would quickly leave Kansas and emigrate to
Texas il it had its free viii to do so. 1t is
an animal which thrves best in warm eli.
mate. And here does hundred fold better
upon our grasses ana herbs, green through
out tue winter, THAI in Kansas
where they must be fed seven
months out Of tho twelve to
keep them alive AS to Texas being "too
much occupied by cattle, whose owners are
unfIiendly TO shepherds" that is all an IN
adulterated libel upon Texas and her cattle
growers. One Of the most successful sheep
ranches in the southwest is near Taylors-
vile, Texas, staked out, stocked, owned and
attended to by men from the state of Maine.
No one ever heard Of their being disturbed
w. + of Tenants Harbor, wants the truth,
he had better apply to his countrymen
at Taylorsville, and not 20 scribler
so gsngrened with political hate, he
would send him to poor, bleak, barren aud
frozen clinics to follow business he would
starve rather than to latitude where he
would grow rich,a Thousands of others have
and are doing. Many of our great rancho
men are from New England, and they will
rise up when called upon and deny the truth
OF the New York Times. The management
of that paper should dismiss the author OF
that paragraph. There is mixture of ig.
dorance and prejudice in all he writes.

prepare the condemned man for the SUI

One of A. q. Stephens's Stories.

Representative Aleck Stephens tells
an anecdote illustrating how late in
life q woman's sensitiveness about her
age may last. He saws that at time
when it was known that the widow of
President Madison was in such poverty
as TO really be suffering for the necessa-
ries OF life, bill for her relief giving
her a pension was introduced into the
house, which he earnestly championed.
He made a telling point in urging its
immediate passage by saying: Gen
tlemen, to-day the lady reaches the
venerable age of 81 years, and it would
be particularly graceful thing for this
house to honor the day by passing at
once the bill for her relieEn He laid
such stress upon the matter and advo-
Gated the passage of the bill SO warmly
that it was passed on that day. He
felt so eiated with his triumph that he
decided To take the news to her him.
SELF and iastened at once to her resi-
denee. Some one, however, had pre-
coded him and fully reported his speech
to the lady, who, to- his surprise, greet
ell him by saying: ''Oh, thank you,
Mr.. Stephens, for getting my bill
through. but you made a mistake when
you said was 80 to-day. l am not 81.
am only so to-day. That was grave
mistake.'' When Mr.. Stephens repeat
ed this to Mrs. John j. Crittenden. one
of Mrs AEadison's friends, who had
told him her age, she said: "All the
same, Mr. Stephens, it is true; she is
really 81 years old" Mr.. Stephens
says he laas never dared mention la
dy's age since, however much he might
hope to make an argument in her favor
by SO doing Washington Cor. OF the
