Making Sheep Pay.

At a convention OF sheep breeders
and wool-growers, held at Philadel-
phia, one of the speakers said;
81 would say to the farmer, go
on and manage your sheep in the
way you can get the most money
for their carcasses, whether raising
mutton or lambs, and let your
wool take care Of itself. You
must regard your sheep as ma
chimes for converting grass, roots
and grain, in the shortest possible
time, into mutton, with wool as a
mere incident. By making your
sheep fat in the shortest possible
time-whlch you can do best with
the English r@ccs-and killing
them as soon as they are mature
YOU make the best and soundest
wool. 1t will not only be young
but healthy; it will have no tender
places in it. Aiming for the best
mutton, you will be certain TO get
the best wool, which will always
sell, no matter what race it belongs
10. This is the system in England,
the great mutton producing and
combing-wool- producing country IN
the world. 1t is really a matter OF
surprise in reading English agricul
tural journals to see how little con-
sideration is apparently given to
the qualities of wool while the size
and iattening aptitudes OF the diff
erent breees OF varieties are the
subjects of the English comblng
woods have been developed upon
originally short-woOled animals by
the unconscious development OF
their forms and the secondary
Qualities of their Aeeces, through a
constant aim to develop their car
casses for the mutton market. Thus
the interests OF the grower the
consumer OF meat, and the manu-
tacturer of wool are identified.

Easy Bianching of Celery

Peter Henderson says he knows
ofno vegetable on the cultivation
Of which there is 50 much useless
labor expended as on celery. This
is The reason so few cultivate it for
their own use, and why those who
attempt it do not succeed better.
The chief difficulty is in blanching
it well, and in securing place for
it where it is easily accessible. =
Although often prepared for the
table late in autumn or early in
winter, there are few who care
much for it at those times when an
abundance of fresh fruit can be had
and when so many other vegetables
are easily obtained. On the ap
proach of spring, and when the
warm weather OF April arrives, well
prepared celery becomes delicious
and is eagerly sought, The great
point, therefore, is to have it ready
Immediately after the departure OF
the coldes, winter weather. We
have long been III the practice OF
planching it in narrow trenches,
one spade wide, and deep enough to
admit the whole length Of the
plants standing erect in the trenches
which are thickly covered with
forest leaves on the approach Of
winter. But this mode OF packing
them away k4 "A autumn requires
ouoh more care and abor, anu faey
are not very acces sible for use
when wanted.
4 simpler, easier and better
mode, at least for modern supplies
is to keek the plants, when taken
up, entirely away from earth, if in
tended for winter blanching. About
the middle Of November they are
taken up on dry day, and placed
i'll water-tight troughs, or other
vessels, in quite dark cellar, the
plants standing erect and closely
together. Enough water is poured
on the roots to cover them, and the
supply is continued through winter
as it evaporates. This constitutes
the entire labor. The stalks are
gradually and handsomely blanched
IN the darkness, and many new
ones spring up daring the winter
months, especially if the apartment
is not very cold, and these new
shoots are remarkable for their
delicacy and perfect freedom from
any particle OF rust, appearing like
polished ivory. A small separate
apartment in the cellar, without
windows, answers well tor this
purpose. Boxes, tubs, Or any
vessels which will hold a few inches
of water may be employed. The
plants, as grown in the open ground
need not be earthed up at all. or
they may be slightly earthed to
bring them into a more compact
form if desired, Probably the best
way would be to adopt the course
which is sometimes employed Of
setting out the plants in summer
on the level surface of deep, rich
soil, eight or ten inches, or a foot
apart each way, in order that their
close growth may tend 10 give
them a more upright form. Thcy

More Bloody Work in James County.
Chattanooga Times.

James County, which has been the scene
of four foul murders since February, and
perhaps others undiscovered, is sustaining
its reputation, and we now chronicle two
more encounters which may result fatally
A few weeks ago a school teacher III
Savannah Valley had the temerity to chas-
tise son of a certain individual named
Davis who is noted for his prowess and
utter recklessness Davis, when he learned
of the disgrace which had befallen his
family name, waxed wroth and swore he
would kill the teacher.
A few days afterwards he saw the teacher
approaching his house, and taking his gum
Davis concealed himself in his stable to as
sassinate him as he passed His daughter
OWNED his evil intent, and warned the
teacher of his danger, who turned back and
proceeded to a country store near by. where
he was soon immersed in a game of quoits
Davis was not to be baffied, and calling the
son who had been whipped, after arming
themselves, they proceeded to the store, and
as soon as they saw the teacher, knocked
him down. AS he arose he knocked Davis
down, whereupon the son shot at him three
times, two bullets passing through his
clothes. The father and son then escaped
to O fastness across the river, where they
now defy the law.
The second incident occurred in the
notorious Thatcher Landing district, where
all the previous murders We're comm tilted,
and was the outcome of feud between a
man named Irving, who is brother-in- law
of the above mentioned Davis, and man
named Norman. They..are sworn to kill each
other, and are roaming around the coun-
try armed, trying to gain an opportunity.

tried and acquitted of the murder of Eliza
