Some time ago the authorities of one
Of the largest hospitals in London took
measures to ventilate all the drains and
sewers in connection with their institu-
ton, and previous to which movement
pyemia and erysipelas had almost driv-
en- the medical stat to despair. When
the whole Of the ventilation was COM
pleted, and IS soon as the pressure was
removed from the traps Of the closets
and lavatories, no fresh cases were
found to occur. and for months the hos
pital wards were free from both erysipe-
las and py@mia. Suddenly. however,
there was o fresh outbreak of these dis
eases, but it appeared that the epidemic
was confined to one Of the surgical
wards, built apart from the main build
ing on the pavilion plan. and having
only one story. Close investigation
proved that the ventilation pipe in this
wing had been stopped by a careless
workman; and, on thus being %remedied.
all traces Of the epidemic disappeared.

From the Ohio Farmer, Feb. S, 1881.
FEEDING SHEEP.

Mr.. Isaac H, Frank of Uniontown, Ohio, had
been feeding sheep for a long period Of years,
and becoming dissatisfied with results resolved
to improve upon the manner of feeding and thus
procure better results In the fall of '76 he puE-
chased lot Of sheep and fed them during the
winter but the market not being satisfactory, Sc
lected 100 Wethers which he decided to prepare
for the Christmas market Of the next year. He
took to the New York city market, in 1877, car
load Of 100 sheep, which weighed 17S pounds per
head. In 1878 the weight Of his car load was 1876
pounds average. In 1879 he took to market 100
year olds whose average weight was 1856 pounds
far exceeding any car load ever seen in New
York, sltE ough lot Of 20 had been brought 70
market which in some respects were superior Ia
Mr. Franks, but had he culled 80 from his car
load the result might have been superior to tho
so referred to- In 1880 he took 90 sheep to market
which weighed, at home, 282 pounds, but on ac-
count Of unfortunate circumstances in shipping,
the shrinkage was 20 pounds per head, making
the average weight per head at New York, 2l7
pounds-by far the heaviest car load Of sheep ev-
er seen on Manhattan Island.
Sheep to be made OF such weight must have ex-
lra attention. but the feeder Is abundsntly repaid
by receiving at market price far above that Of
the ordinary sheep. Sheep Of this grade are
slaughtered and sold by the piece to the retailers
who hang single specimen or two IA their mark
cts for sign. In order to secure carcass to I'D.
Vertise their business during the holidays, they
pay any price so that to supply this demand the
feeder is well paid for bis extra trouble and ex
pense. Each year the weight Of the Christina
sheep increases, so that to-day the weight mW&
be 200 pounds and over, ir order to compete. The
heaviest in Mr.. Franks Aock is 200 pounds The
limit Of the weight Of sheep he thinks 10 about
800 pounds. In order to attain this weight, his
mode Of feeding and handling may not be unin.
terestDg to the readers Of The Farmer.
+. B. RICHARDS.
The subject of thus feeding sheep to increase
their weight is an important one and we hope
soon to be able to publish Mr. Franks system for
the benefit OF our farmer iriends.-[ED,

The contents OF the North American RevieW for
March must win the attention Of all by the time.
illness Of the topics discussed. First, we have a
thoughtful and moderate article by Bishop Coke,
on Theology In the Public Schools The author
would sternly exclude from the School.room all
sectarian dogmas, whether Papist or Protestant
but he insists on the retention Of the Bible FIRST
because that book is the principal foundation Of
our English speech and secondly because 1t is
really the base OF our social system. The second
article is by Captain Eads, who OIL deavors 10 show
the practicability of his ship.railway, its advent
ages over all cnnal schemes, and why the United
States can without risk guarantee the payment Of
6. per cent interest on S5OOOOO 900 Of the capital
stock Of the proposed company. Judge H. H.
Chalmers, writing Of the effects Of Negro Suffrage,
beEpeaks for the Southern States, while engaged
with the solution Of the great problem that has
been forced upon them, the sympathy and coun-
sci OF the North. The other articles are The
Free.school System by John D. PhilbriCk, being
a reply to the recent structures Of Mr.. Richard
Grant White on the public schools; Theological
Charlatanism,' by Mr.. John Fske, whose typical
theological charlStan is Mr.. Joseph Cook and
finally, a review Of some recent publications in
Physics, by Prof. A. W. Wright.
