Negroes serve an admirable purpose as re-
publican voting cattle, but 1t Is the height OF
absurdity to-mainain that the republican par
ty is under any obligation to give them far
proportion or indeed any of tie Offices. Says
that staunch stalwart republican paper, the
Philadelphia bulletin:
The notion that the negro race, simply be.
cause it contains so many voters who vote sol.
idly for single party, must therefore. and as a
matter of course, be fully represented in the
pnblc Offices, is rot justified by sound sense.
The destiny of the race Is not necessarily TO
hold office. That is not the chef end of man :;
nor IS 1t the very highest kind of felicity. The
theory that the blacks will not have full jus.
tice done to them until they are allotted Ger.
tain clerkships and postofllces is intrinslcally
absurd. What the race wants much more than
anything else, Is to improve Its intellectual
and material condition, to acquire education
and to learn how to conduct those industrial
pursuits which bring wealth.

apart, with handle inserted at a suitable
angle. With this the little drills can he

The increasing heat of the sun is favorable
to Towering, but also to the rapid propa-

tobacco, when practicable, and if this can.
not be done, syringe with tobacco water al

How MUCH TO FEED SHEEP.-While I

would seem hardly necessary to caution
farmers against the opposite extreme, for
high feeding of sheep believe to be det-
rlmental to health and long life. While
preparing for the butcher, high feeding is
necessary; but for store sheep and breeding
ewes the over-amount of fat produced by
high feed is Injurious, and aside from the
expense TO produce this stale of things, It
has a tendency to shorten the lives of
sheep, in my opinion, and | think it en-

feeding Is likely to bring animals to matur.

especially so with sheep.
Every wool grower will find it for his
interest to provide warm, capacious and
well ventilated sheds for his hocks, with a
convenient access to pure water. Racks
that sheep are fed in should be made with
tight bottoms, SO that the chaff will not 90
through and be wasted, for that is the best
part of the hay. By being made so. grain
can be fed in them, thereby saving troughs.
