Nllttn.

American shepherds have yet much
to learn in regard to the management
of their focks. For exampie, the sheep
in Silesia are never exposed 10 much
rain. Shelter and shade are provided
them. Nor are they exposed to dust,
for that is known to be injurious to the
fleece. The greatest possible care is
taken in the breeding. Men of expert
ence are employed to go from farm to
farm to examine the sheep and select
the best rams that can be found. The
rams are closely examined as to their
fieece-bearing properties, and all but the
very best are sold Of The whole econ
omy Of the sheep farm is as perfect as
intelligence and industry can make it.
A ton of wool is worth $3.50 at 30 cents
a pound or $500 at % cents. A ton Of
wheat is worth about $32, and Of corn
about Sic The freight is about the
same for each. and is thus TWEEN y-five
times more for wheat and nearly fifty
times more for corn than wool. This
Is worth considering, and shows how
much better it is to turn corn into wool
than to sell it.

The Small Farmers.

Read the following from the Country
Visitor regarding the small farmer
We regard the introduction of the small
farm system into Louisiana as one OF
her greatest needs, under the new order
of things. White field labor from
abroad is not what the agricultural de
velopment of the State requires so much
as the small farmer. He brings brains,
skill, experience, economy in family and
money. He necessitates small towns he
erects churches and schools be eompels
the improvement of water routes and of
country roads he forces the construction
of railroads; he creates class of honest,
industrious. intelligent citizens, who dis
pei the miasma of corrupt politics, and
consolidate into middle class, the most
reliable supporters of liberal and pro-
gressive civilization. Give Louisiana
fifty-thouand small farmers, by adver-
Using her rare resources TO the world
at large, and We may bid defiance to
all the yillianies of corruption and ig-
nOranee.

Hon 70 Get Rid 81 Coco.


Plow the soil as early in the spring
as possible; replow in the month 81
April, and SOW the-land broadcast in
peas at the rate of one bushel per acre.
The pea vines will shade out the coco
the first year to such an extent that
scarcely blade viii be visible the fol-
lowing season.
Should any make It's appearance, re-
peat the operation. This is the only
practical method We know of to get rid
of COCO.
As the vines may be used for hay,
nothing will be lost; on the contrary
the land will be mellowed and enriched
by the shade and droppings from the
leaves. We have tried this process,
and it never failed.

Sowing lurnips.

As the first of September is about tht
right time for sowing turnips, we woulC
give few hints as to how 10 proceed.
Plow the land and sow the seed i'm
mediately and let it alone.
No matter how rough the ground, dc
not harrow or smooth it in any way
after sowing the seed.
If the ground is inclined to be weedy
sow thick, aud thin out to ten inches
either way in the cultivation. If the
ground is clean sow Thin, thereby save
the trouble of cuItivating and thinning,
and let the frost Kill the weeds. IF the
ground is dry when plowed SOW the seed
all the same, il will come up when it
rains; it viii not be injured by lying
on the ground if not narrowed in.

Some unprincipled miscreant killed a fine two-years old heifer belonging to Frank Goodwin few days ago, evidently by shoot ing. The scamp cut the animals tongue out, and a portion of one cheek. The carcass was not discovered until about week after it was killed, when it was badly decomposed. Frank has his suspicious of the guilty one, and is keeping weather eye on. him.
 The minstrel and variety show to be giv. en by the Canaan cornet band, is assuming shape, and will probably come of in two or three weeks, as it will require about that space of time to burn a sufficient number of corks to cover the enormous cheek of the leader.

 -Dr. Camp recently sent some medicine to the house of an Irishman whose child was sick, and on the label was marked "6, g, 12," to indicate that doses were to be administered at those hours. As the clock was out of re- pair, the good wife sent boy to Pat, for his watch, that she might know when the proper time came to give the medicine. In the evening when Pat returned from his work he asked his wife why she sent for his watch. "Why, so I cu'd tell whin to give the baby's medicine" replied the woman. "Shure'n didn't ye know there's no made of the watch?" asked Pat, "Ain't it marked on the bottle as plain as the nose on yer face?"
 Mr. Howard Smiths singing school opened last Thursday night with about 50 pupils, and all expressed themselves pleased with the first lesson, and the manner in which MT. s. conducted it. He is as strict as @ barb fence, and it is thoroughly under. stood that those who attend, are to make it their business to pay attention. There is no doubt that he will have successful and sat. isfactory term, and that at it's close there will be more cultivated musical talent in town than at present. Quite a number from Ash. ley Falls attend Lessons are to be given every Thursday night, in Village Improve. ment Hall, and those who have not already joined the class can do so by leaving their names with w.
