; Branded Hides.

A reader, who knows from
experiencethe difficulty of sell
ing branded hides to advantage,
inquiries whether something
cannot be substituted for the
branding Of cattle as now prac-
ticed inthe west and southwest.
Something can easily be snbsti-
tuted-but can any other sys-
tenn be made practicable In
ventors are ready with all man
ner OF plans-but can any one
ofthem be made to work. Some
inventions designed to compass
this end have been submitted
to us from time to time, and
while they have the merit of
convenience, cheapness, ETC.,
they invariably have the objec-
ton that they cannot defeat the
ingenuity of an expert thief. A
brand to be serviceable must be
ineffaceabIe. Any kind of at
tached label can be removed
with ease from the carcass OF
any beast on which it may be
placed, bysuch tools as thieves
would soon provide themselves
with Should occasion require.
Whatever may be said against
the cruelty and inhumanity of
The present mode ofsmarking
stock, tits at least a permanent
designation, and we opine that
nothing can effectually super
cede it for which the same can
not be made. Branding is in
disputably cruel, is a deplorable
practice, and stockmen will
gladly welcome the invention
that will render it unnecessary.
In the meantime, it seems to
us, the system in vogue might
be so modified as to be in some
degree less Objectionable. The
size of the brands might be re-
duced more than one-half, and
still be effective as distinguish
inp marks. Letters and cher
ogIEphe" designs are now often
over a foot IN vertical length,
and extend over the greater
part of the side, while they
might just as well be confined
to a surface not more than six
inches square, thus detracting
less from the value of the hide,
and rendering the suffering of a
branded beast while the, work
Of the branding-iron is fresh a
trifle less severe.-Pittsburgh

Sheep on the Farm.

A farm can be stocked with
sheep cheaper than with any
other animals. Sheep will come
nearer utilizing everything
which grows on the farm. Less
labor will be required for get
ting food and stock together.
The returns win come in sooner
and oftener than with any farm
stock except hogs. Less money
is required for shelter and
fencing, and less labor is requir
ed for herding, when outside
pasturage is accessible and pre-
ferred. And finally, a handsome
income on the investment can
be had without the sale of the
animals themselves.

Foet Rot in sheep.

This disease among sheep is
caused from constant exposure
to the damp aud wet ground
and from the accumulation Of
dirt between the hoofs that in
terrupts the healthy flow Of an
oil, lodged IN an aperture be-
tween the hoofs called the bifiex
canal. This oil is designed to
act as lubricator for the skin
in the cleft of the foot and is in
active operation, when unob-
structed. Every step the sheep
takes. therefore, when its Office
is interrupted from the causes
above, stated, swelling sets in
that OF the foot, which so disor-
ders this only secretion that its
operation on the skin is not only
impaired, but the secretion it
self becomes an irritant to the
glands that secrete it. Inflam-
nation is the result and unless
speedily remedied severe injury
and loss will follow.-TeXas

The Berkshire Hog.

The Berkshire is a living mon
ument to the patience, perse-
verance and success of men
who have devoted many years
to his culture, who have spent
fortunes to make him what he
is, and who, many OF them, went
to their graves unknown. It's
a remarkable fact that the breed
er has left a white spot on his
forehead, a white stocking on
each foot and a white tuft to the
tail, with now and again dash
of the same color on the face.
With these perceptions the Berk.
shire is black, thus showing
how carefully and skillfully he
has been bred, and to what ex-
tent like produces like.
The development Of this breed
has added millions of dollars to
the wealth of this country and
Of Great Britain, and will con-
tinue SO to do. SO long as pork
and bacon are articles of COM
merce.
A careful sitting of a vast
amount of correspondence with

secretary Of the American Berk-
shire Association some years

at IL months 322, at IS months

from which it will be seen that
he makes the best comparative

So dull the day, so dim the way,
So rough the mad We re fAriBg-

The barren fig, the withered vine,
Are types OF selfish living;
But souls that give, like thine and mine,
Renew their life by giving,
While cypress waves ore early graves.

Far better plant where seed Is scaat
Than tread on fruit that's growing.
Away with soorn Since die we must,
And rest on one lone pillow;
Therefore no rivals In the dust
No foes beneath the Willows.
Sc dry tue bowers, so few the flowers,
Our earthly way discloses.
Far better stoop where daisies druop
Than tramp ore broken roses.
OF what are all the joys we hold,
Compared to joys above usg
And what are rank, and power and gold,
Compared to hearts that love us
SO feet our years. so full of tears,
So closely death Is waiting;
God gives Us space for loving grace,
But leaves no time for hating.

MoRTIFIoATIoN.-We have met with

We hope the practice of excessive
tobacco smoking by the boys will be
discontinued in our places of public
business. Boys who would not smoke
in room where their mothers and
sisters are present should remember
that ladies are continually calling at
these places to do their shopping, and
that the odor of tobacco smoke is par
ticularly offensive to persons unused
to it. In fact the use of tobacco is a
disgrace to our civilization, and better
be left to Indians and tobacco worms.
