Sheep in Orchards.

We have frequently recommended
pastnring sheep in orchards for the de-
struction of the coddling worms, as to
keep them closely grazed by feeding on
the grass, and to enrich the ground
with their droppings, and the subject
is of sufficient Importance to bear many
repetitions. We find in an exchange
an account of the successful treatment
of an orchard, without giving the name
of the owner, but from the statements it
is evidently that of J. s. WOODWARD,
Lockport.
The following is briefly the substance
of the statement: "The orchard ocCu
pies 80 acres, and is made the run Of
30 hogs and $50 or 200 sheep and lambs
during the summer. Enough grainand
bran is given them to place them in
good condition, they eat every blade Of
grass and green things close down and
every fallen apple as soon as dropped,
for which purpose sheep are better than
hogs, which sleep so soundly as not to
hear an apple fall, but sheep are always
on hand and devour everything as soon
as it touches the ground. The fruit
each year grows fairer, with fewer
worming specimens, and the manure
from feeding SO much grain, has given
healthy glow to the trees. 10 pre-
vent the animal from gnawing the bark,
the trunk is washed over once q month
with mixture of soap-suds, whale oil
and sheep manure. If the animals are
given constant supply of fresh water,
they have less disposition to eat the
bark. The profits of this treatment
consist in placing the sheep in the best
condition, in finely growing lambs and
in heavy crops of fruit for market

How Boys Pan Out.
By W. q. PECK.

There is all the difference in the
world in boys, and it is the hardest p IS
sible thing to prdict to a certainty h Nv
they will pan out. Boys that give
promise in youth to become the most
pious, God-fearing, intelligent business
men, often turn out to be the worst
whelps that ever scuttled schooner of
beer, while a. often the wild, reckless,
devil-may- care critters, whom you may
expect TO find robbing stage coaches
and punching heads in the prize ring,
tumble to themselves and become dea.
cons in the church. There are so many
ways of bringing up boy that there is
no wonder, When we look at the results
of the different styles Of training, that
people get tangled, and don't know ex-
sctly what course is best. Our atten-
tion has been called to the career Of
two boys that we're brought up in the
same neighborhoOd, on different prin-
ciples. One boy vas q pious little fell

Gould's Grip OH st. Louis.
New Orleans Picayune.

When Jay Gould came to st. Louis
on the Wabash road, and crossed the
Mississippi and seized every railroad
running out of it to the West, North
and South, he meant business. He
bought and consolidated the iron works
and the barge lines. He bought tue
bridge and the tunnel and the union
depot. He bought, we believe, the
stock yards. If there is anything left
in St. Louis which he did not buy, he
did not want it. The elements of OPP

Liabilities of Employers.

The Scientific American says:-In an action against an employer for the death by injury of workman, it appeared that the death was caused by the slipping of a plank on which deceased was at work,
 and which had negligently been placed on some guard rails. The employer was not present at the time, but had left the work in charge of competent foreman. The work was the building of an iron bridge. The work was in it's nature perilous, but the peril was obvious. Ample materials were at hand to secure safety, but the precautions for safety were neglected through the fault of de-
 ceased and his fellow-Iaborers. Held, that defendant was not liable for the death. The servant engaging in haz. ardous employment assumes its risks, but does not those of the negligence ol malfeasance of the master. The master must use diligence. having respect to the nature of the service, to provide the proper materials, appliances and instru
 mentalities for doing the work, and also to use due diligence and care in the selection and employment of competent and careful fellow-servants for the par
 ticular work or service to be performed

A Highl ander's Honor
A RECEIPT OF NO ACCOUNT,

Two centuries ago in the Highlands of Scotland, to ask for a receipt or a promissory note was thought an insult. If parties had business matters to tran. sact, they stepped into the air, fixed their eyes upon the heavens, and each repeated their obligation without nor. tai witness. A mark was then carved upon some rocks or tree near by as a remembrance of the compact. Such a thing as breach of contract was rarely met with, so highly did the people re- gard their honor. When the march ot improvement brought the new mode of doing business, they were often pained by these innovations. An anecdote is handed down of farmer who had been to the Lowlands and learned worldly wisdom. On re turning to hls native parish he had need of small sum of money, and he made bold to ask loan from 8 gentleman of means named Stuart. This was kindly granted, and MT. Stuart counted out the gold. This done, the farmer wrote a receipt and handed it to MT. Stuart.
 "What is this, man ?'' cried Mir. Stuart, eyeing the slip of paper.
 cit is receipt, sir, binding me to give ye back the gold at the right time, J re piled Sandy.
 Binding ye? Weel, man, if ye canna trust yerself, I'm sure I'll nc trust ye. Ye canna have my gold. And, gathering it up, he put it back in his desk and turned the key in it.
 "But, sir, I might die,'' replied the canny Scotchman, bringing up an argu. ment in favor of his new wisdom, "an6 perhaps my sons might refuse it to ye but the bit of paper would compe them"
 "Compel them to sustain their deac fathers honor p
 "They'n need compelling to do right if this is the road ye're leading them Til neither trust ye nor them. Ye car gang elsewhere for money but you'll find nane in the parish that'll put more faith in 8 bit paper than in neigh bor's word O honor and his fear O God.

Our Waste of Food.

MT. Edward Atkinson writes to the Boston Advertiser In the recent re- port of the Commissioners of Prisons find a statement of the cost of provis- ions per week per prisoner in the year 1881. By this statement it appears that in the prisons and houses of correction in which any considerable number of prisoners are detained, the cost of pro- visions per week ranges from sixty-nine cents to $1. In regard to at least one of the larger houses of detention, where very few but adults are held, the cost is less than eighty cents per week per pris- oner, less than twelve cents per day for the food consumed. In this case the best flour is bought and made into bread, and the beef served consists of the coarse pieces of the very best beeves, from which the sirloins and choicest parts have been sold to the principa hotels in Boston. I think it is safe to say that the food served in this prison is of better quality and better prepared OAAeSA HI oAO nNOAdSO WOAhu4dA 1du11AJ III the State of Massachusetts, and think the question of waste on the part of the average member of the community may be sustained by reference to the pro- verbal frying-pan, pale pie and half. baked bread raised with saleratus ol some similar abomination. Even the average Englishman knows how to make better use of beef than we do. The bes pieces, sirloin and the like, command higher prices in Boston than they do il London, while the coarse pieces com mand much less. It pays to export bee to England even though the sirloins sel for less; because the people know bette
 how to make use of the rest of the car cass. Few people know even how t. cook the sirloin. They roast it fam and all, while they ought to cut off tn
 flank and keep it for the savory stew fo
