The Sheep to Breed.

4 great difficulty in beginning this
business is to choose the kind. One
looks here and there, at this breed and
at that, and cannot make up his mind
which to choose. And he is right to be
cautious, because the right sheep in the
place only will be profitable. But if he
is in his quandary he may safely choose
lot of good, thrifty native ewes and a
ram of any of the four breeds mentioned
below, which he can procure most read
lily. The Hampshire stands first, the
Oxford next, the Shropshire next, and
the Southdown last-that is, for profit.
All these are compactly built, solid,
heavy sheep, with good flesh, small
bones, salable wool, and the lambs are
plump, hardy, fat and of good size. And
a good ram can be purchased at reas-
enable price-that is, if the professional
importer is not sought after. These
persons put their figures too high for a
farmers purpose. There are always
those farmers who have bought q ram
at high figure and will yet sell lamb
for little more than the worth of the car
cass. And yet, if one has the means,
he can very we'll afford to pay as much
as $40 or even $50 for good pure bred
ram; the eve lambs will pay the cost
in one year, and the male lambs which
go to market viii pay fer him a second
time. Farmers, generally, have learned
tho value of good stock, and know how
it pays to feed such animals. Pure
breeding has proved its value to them,
aud they are willing to pay extra for
the blood. And they are right, and es-
pecially in regard to sheep, because no
animal is more quickly impressed and
improved by crossing with good breed
than sheep.
CoMMIss AMER LoRING, of the United
States Agricultural Department, has

without recoufce upon the State of Virginia
In the year 1890, and annually thereafter until
all bonds issued under and by authority of this
act are paid, there shall be set apart of the
revenue collected from the property OF the
State each year 24 per cent. upon bonds at the
time outstanding, which shall be paid into the
Treasury to the credit ofthe sinking fund.
The bill was, on Saturday, reported from the
Senate Finance Committee, with amendments.
There are many clerical errors and the inser-
ton of the three per cent. plan as the rate of
interest which the State is willing to paw
which was accidentally omitted from the orig
inal draft
The following addition has been made to the
bill, and will be known as the 18th section
That from and after the passage of this act no
bond, certificate, or other evidence of indebt-
edness shall be issued for any portion of the
| debt of the State. Nor shall any interest be
paid upon any part or portion of said debt ex-
cept as hereinbefore provided. With this
amendment, the bill, on the 18th was ordered

Protect Labor.

/ There have been two instances in this COUNTY
| within the past year which illustrate the ,n-
iequaey Of the laws for the protection of la.
Dor. One was the suspension of operations
at Ferrol Furnace and the sale of the perso-
nal property 20 satisfy judgments against the
company. There were large qumber of la
berers employed at the works. whose pey was
in arrears, and the property having been az
sorbed by the judgment creditors, the poor
laborers had to go without dollar. Most Of
then were entirely dependent upon their
wages fOf the support of their fagei,les and
themselves. and the result was that q great
amount of suffering followed.
In the case of the collapse OF contracting
firm ON the Shenandoah Valley Railroad, sew
eaal months ago, operating near Greenville,
the sargeF creditors, who were yersed in the
waysof thelav, pounced upon the property
OF the contractors, secured it, and left several
hundred laborers without dollar of the hard
earned money due them. In both cases the
laborers were principally colored men, living
from hand to mouth, with no dependence for
support but their daily work.
1t seems to US that there ought to be some
provision of law, in such cases, to protect

BY its fell spirit Of intolerance and men
either driven from their convictions and
compelled TO pronounce the party shibbo-
leth or made to suffer 1t is. therefore, the
grossest hypocrisy and dnplicity for the or
gans of such a party to affect concern for
anything, either in the realm of charity,
society or religion, that does not administer
to the greed and appetite OF partizanism.-
Let them first take the beam out of their
own eyes before they essay to extract the
mote from the eyes OF their neighbors, and
give some evidence of tolerance and for
bearance, before they demand or expect
them from their political opponents. A little
experience may teach them the intensity OF
their own vindictive spirit, and learn them
hereafter to respect the opinions Of Others
who may happen to honestly differ from
them. Having sown to the wind, however,
they need not be surprised if they reap the
whirlwind

The Coupon Killer.

The bill introduced in the Senate by Sena-
tor Riddeberger several weeks ago, and pub
lished in the VIRGINrAN, to destroy the cou-
pom as tax-paying agent, has become law,
| and Saturday last every tax collector in the
State WAS notified by the Auditor to receive
no more coupons. The coupon has been q
very convenient currency for the rich man to
pay his taxes with less money than the face
value of his tax ticket. but no relief whatever
to the poor man. Men who never invested a
dollar in State bonds to aid the Common
wealth. were the first to send off and buy cou-
pons at 70 and 80 cents on the dollar with
which TO meet their tax levy The poor man
had to pay dollar for dollar, for the reason that
he could not get the money to pay his taxes
until the last day, and then probably had to
borrow it in order to save his property from
distraint; or it may have been that the tax
charge against hini was not large enough to
make it an object for the intermediate to buy
the coupons for him; but as much to him as
the larger amount was to the richer tax payer
Under the present law every one has to pay
his taxes in money, dollar for dollar, until the
-
genuineness of the coupons is attested in
court, there having been put in circulation, it
is alleged, coupons which had been paid in once
but not cancelled and it is believed, issued again
The effect Of the law will be to destroy the
coupon as a tax-oayyipg agsnt, for no one will
60 to the trouble and expense Of testing the
genuineness of The coupons ip the courts, when
the costs must tall Hpsa the party cqntestlng
whether he wins or not.
This bill having become law and the pur.
pose manifested to rigidly enforce it, we will
aWait with some interest to see the effect it
will haze upon the -bondholder. So
long as the coupons sold at from so to 80 cents
on the dollar. the Investment ip coupon bonds
paid wei. But now that the coupons are not
accepted for taxes, and cannot be forced upon
the taz collector without an expensive suit
the logic Of lie case is that the coupon bonds
will be funded Into The three per cent. bonds
provided for in the Riddleberger biA IF this
shall be the result, the vexed question Of the
public debt of Virginia, which has been SO
ong agitated, will be settled, and agitation

property of the defaulting firms. Public
policy as well as humanity, suggests that
some legal safeguards be thrown around this
class of people, who work honestly and faith

our lawmakers to look into the matter and see
if some remedy cannot be devised guaran
